Can't connect to vista pc anymore/ cannot connect to server because

I'm getting an error saying it cannot connect to server because username or password is not correct. Everything was fine on my old belkin router but i've had this issue since changing over to the new airpotr extreme.
My windows vista pc has sharing on (for the folders i need) I even shut my firewall down etc but the pc still doesn't show up in my networks. I tried my laptop and that worked no problem but its a power book not windows.
any suggestions out there? thanks

Hello,
Try this:
1. Make sure you have installed the AirPort software on your Vista PC
2. Reboot the PC
3. On the AEBS(n), under Disks --> File Sharing, set Guest Access: Read and Write
4, On Vista PC, select "Guest Access" in the AirPort Utility
5. AirPort Disk should show up in "My Computer" as z/AirPortDiskName
At least that's how mine is et up, and it works fine for Vista.

  • HT204075 Mail can't connect to server because password is incorrect

    Hi,
    Since I updated my mac book air with the last OS X 10.10.2, my email has been completely broken. I cannot send or receive.
    I use Register.com with a personalized email (@perrinparis.com) and have never had any issues before. I spent 1 hour on the phone with one of their technicians who made sure all my settings (ports) were correct.. But it still isn't working. I unchecked use SSL and 'Automatically detect and maintain account settings'.. It still says it can't connect to the server. My hotmail account works just fine.
    I have deleted and re-added my account several times..
    I'm hopeless

    I had the same problem after upgrading to 10.10.2 last week.  Mail.app wouldn't connect to my Yahoo! or iCloud mail accounts.  I tried Unibox instead of Mail and that worked for a week, but then Unibox had the same problem.  Ultimately, what fixed Mail for me was to log out of iCloud in System preferences, delete my Yahoo! mail from System Preferences / Internet Accounts, then restart the Macbook Air into safe mode (hold down the shift key while booting).  While in safe mode, I went into System Preferences / iCloud, logged in, and enabled Mail, and then added my yahoo account in Internet Accounts.  Finally, Mail started to connect to all my accounts and I was able to receive and send mail again. 
    I restarted normally and everything has been working fine since then.  While my reply is not guaranteed to work for you, I sincerely do hope this helps! 

  • I can't update my ipod. When I check for updates it says "can't connect to server"(despite internet connection being fine). Also, when I try and update software it starts then stops after 2 seconds

    I can't update my Ipod. When I check for updates it says "can't connect to server" despite internet connection being fine. When I receive a software update message;I say install and it starts updating then stops after 2 seconds. Help! (It is a 3rd gen IPod touch(I think)). Presumably as a result of this, I have tried to put my library onto my gf's new iPod touch and it just charges it..doesn't download my library onto the touch).

    Update Server
    Try:
    - Powering off and then back on your router.
    - iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    - Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
    Public DNS — Google Developers
    OpenDNS IP Addresses
    - For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
    - Try on another computer/network
    - Wait if it is an Apple problem

  • Almost constant "Safari can't connect to server"

    Starting a few weeks ago, I have started getting regular error messages that "safari can't connect to server". It is getting really annoying! It also affects Firefox. I have made every change I know to with internet settings (Open DNS settings, etc..), but nothing works. I have contacted my DSL ISP and they cannot find any problems with my service, which makes sense as I have had the service for nearly 2 years and this problem has just started recently. Oh yeah...I upgraded to 10.4.8 about the same time this started. ANY SUGGESTIONS?
    Thanks in advance!

    Update....after installing "Cocktail" system utility software and running all the systems, guess what??????
    No more issues! I'm not sure if it was the combination of the re-install and then the system utilities run....but I am back to surfing the web with ease!
    Thanks a million for your help!

  • TS1368 I can't connect to the iTunes store with my Apple TV. I can see what movies are on offer but when trying to access my account i am advised "Can't connect to server" (times out).

    I can't connect to the iTunes store with my Apple TV. I can see what movies are on offer but when trying to access my account i am advised "Can't connect to server" (times out).

    I have the same problem with my 3rd gen Apple TV. I can preview iTunes movies, stream from my Mac, Airplay from my other devices but I cannot rent a movie on iTunes. Every time I try I get "Can't connect to ITunes" and "Unable to sign in". Had technical support review the problem over the phone and they agreed to send me a new one. Same problem. Interestingly enough my 2nd gen Apple TV works just fine.

  • This Mac can't connect to iCloud because of a problem with my email address Open iCloud preferences to fix this problem"

    I keep getting this message over and over and over.
    This Mac can't connect to iCloud because of a problem with <my email address>
    Open iCloud preferences to fix this problem"
    I go to IC Preferences but there is nothing I can fix there that is relative.
    My outbox is no longer working in MAIL so I cannot email out. I have to use my wife's MBP to send emails.
    I can get emails. I didn't change anything in m,ail preferences, so what is Apple doing to me?

    I also have had this problem and see no resolution - signed out of my account and signed in again, did not get any resolution to the problem. done this twice. Is Apple addressing this? I thought that 10.10.1 would resolve this but found to my dismay that there has been no resolution. Each time I log out of iCloud and then sign in again, there is a time lag before all my files in iCloud become accessible so have stopped trying this remedy. I also have issues with iTunes where am asked for my password 4 times before I can log in. Would like to know if there is anything in the pipeline to remedy/rectify this problem. Issues with bad internet connectivity have improved but are still there. Wish Apple would spend some more time in testing and resolving issues before releasing new software.

    What are the correct mail account settings and more importantly the correct DNS settings
    Thank you for any help you may be able to provide

    Do not delete the old account yet. sign up for an iCloud account if you haven't.
    I understand .mac mail will still come through. Do not delete the old account yet.
    You cannot use .mac or MobileMe as type of Account, you have to choose IMAP when setting up, otherwise Mail is hard coded to change imap.mail.me.com to mail.me.com & smtp.mail.me.com to smtp.me.com, no matter what you try to enter.
    iCloud Mail setup, do not choose .mac or MobileMe as type, but choose IMAP...
    On second step where it asks "Description", it has to be a unique name, but you can still use your email address.
    IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
              •          Server name: imap.mail.me.com
              •          SSL Required: Yes
              •          Port: 993
              •          Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
              •          Password: Your iCloud password
    SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
              •          Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
              •          SSL Required: Yes
              •          Port: 587
              •          SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
              •          Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
              •          Password: Your iCloud password
    Also, you must upgrade your password to meet the new criteria:  8 characters, including upper and lower case and numbers.  If you have an older password that does not meet these criteria, when you try to setup mail on your mac, using all of the IMAP criteria listed above, it will still give a server error message.  Go to   http://appleid.apple.com         then follow directions to change your password, then go back to setting up your mail using the IMAP instructions above.
    Thanks to dpepper...

  • Safari and Youtube can't connect to server

    Safari and Youtube can't connect to server but I can use iTunes online store. Isn't that strange? Any ideas why?
    I use static ip-adresses on my home network with a WEP 128bit security. I have entered all configuration that I enter under tcp/ip properties on my but there is one property on the touch that I don't recognise from my PC and that is someting that translated could be named "Search Domains". It's the last property under the static wireless config tab.

    I have no idea what I am doing... but once i changed the proxy (HTTP) my life is just miserable, no sites open, like its really annoying. Do you know how to fix it.

  • I forgot my passcode for the ipad and i can't connect to iTunes because it keeps giving me error message that i have to unlcok the ipad first... any advice on how to restore the ipad or unlock it?

    You have to restore the device within iTunes. You want to use the same computer that you always sync with so that you can restore your app data and settings. You can restore with any other computer, but you will lose everything on the iPad.
    This will tell you how to restore
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    You will probably need to use recovery mode

  • Ever since i forgot my apple id password and changed to a new one, I am continually being asked to enter my iCloud password. It then says that this mac can't connect to iCloud because of a problem with "my username". nothing I do in in preferences helps.

    You have to sign out completely in System Preference>iCloud (click 'Sign out') on a Mac, or Settings>iCloud on an iOS device (click 'Delete account' - this will not delete the account from the server). Then sign in with the new password.
    Your iCloud data will disappear from your Mac or device when you sign out but will reappear when you sign back in.

    No.
    If you don't want to update to the supported software you can't use the device.

  • Earthlink Servers -- "can't connect to server"

    Recently (the last couple of weeks) Safari have been displaying the message "can't connect to server" when trying to access certain pages.
    Here are the particulars:
    This only happens with Safari, not with any other browser (netscape, firefox, explorer) on my Mac or my PC.
    The problem is intermittent -- sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Both times when I've called apple tech support (and they tried to reproduce the problem, it was working)
    The problem only exists with Earthlink's homepages ...any page that has the url "home.earthlink.net/~whatever. So this rules out any particular page or site ...the problems (for me) seems confined to Earthlink homepage servers.
    This happens whether logged on via dial-up, or using DSL ethernet (these two are via my isp, earthlink) ...or when using my neighbor's wireless connection via Comcast. So the problem is not unique to the ISP.
    Here's the puzzling part. When the problem does exist, I can access the page by typing www. in from of the home.earthlink.... and the page loads. When the problem does not exits and the www. is placed in front of the url, Safari displays the "can't connect to server" message (???).
    Also, during these intermittent periods when it doesn't work, any other pages I have that call upon graphics with a SRC url of home.earthlink.... the graphics don't display.
    Lastly, my tracking program has shown (1) a significant drop in the pages accessed with Safari, (2) the pages that are accessed with Safari are occasionally accessed with the www.home.earthlink.... url, so this is obviously happening to other safari users.
    For my part, I've done all the usual stuff, checked here for similar reports, reset Safari and trashed all the prefs. No changes.
    Apple tech seems to think this is an Earthlink Server problem. Earthlink tech acknowledges no such problem and feels it's Safari's problem. ...and I'm caught in the middle Hrmpf!!!
    Any thoughts would be much appreciated.
    I'm using OS 10.3.9 with Safari 1.3.2
    "home.earthlink.net/~skinesscentuals" -- one of the affected sites
    iBook G4 1.33 w/Mac OS X (10.3.9) w/768 MB    
    Dell Pent III w/WinXP (SP2) w384 MB

    Let's try it the other way around. Open Network Preferences and open the lock.
    Set up a new location, I call it "verizon" because the DNS nums will be theirs, available to all. Enter as 2 separate lines
    4.2.2.2
    4.2.2.1
    Proxies have been a problem so make sure you have none unless you really need them.
    Apply now. Good luck.
    Do a forum search on "open dns" for 2 more servers to get their nums. I can't see them as that is what I am currently running and don't want to mess with it.

    Wow, you are the best.
    Yip this is what the website looks like. Great job Linc Davis.

    Well can you try to access it's "sister" website: astralmusic.com and astralmusicshop.com?
    Since you are awesome with the "Flash" can you investigate if this website has a issue withis this "Flash" too?
