Can't get an XP computer to recognize Time Capsule

Okay, I was using a Linksys BEFW11S4 Router with a few computers around the house . . . I am trying my first Mac (MacBook) and thought that the TimeCapsule is one of the most effective NAS devices on the market. . . but I can't get it to work.
I replaced my Linksys with the time capsule, and all is well from this computer (A Dell) which is wired to the time capsule. All is well from my MacBook which is conversing wirelessly with the time capsule (and the internet).
My most important computer (sorry Apple, but it is Windows only software, dual monitors etc.) was using a 802.11b connector and it wouldn't connect. At first I decided to replace the access point and upgraded to an 'n' class radio (or whatever you call them). Still no go.
I need to understand what I am missing and any assistance would be appreciated. The entire infrastructure works correctly for a direct connected PC, and a wireless Mac.
The Wireless PC intermittently connects to the network, but I never get internet access (I did get it once today for about 3 seconds. I have tried refreshing and varying settings, etc. about 200 times).
Overall, I am now in for many hundreds of dollars for 'n' class radios, and a Time Capsule. I need to get this working.
Any advice or assistance? Is this a software problem on the part of Apple?
Thanks,
Don.

  • I can't get my windows computer to recognize my iPhone 4s.  What should I do?

    I have an iPhone 4s that I'm trying to sync with my windows computer but I can't get my computer to recognize the iPhone.  My computer is running with the windows 7 64 bit operating system.  I have the latest version of iTunes as well.  I've followed the troubleshooting guide and still haven't been able to get it to show up.  I've even gone so far as to uninstall all of my apple software and then reinstall iTunes.  Still doesn't work.  I'd appreciate any suggestions that you all might have.

    Also, I just realized that I activated/setup the phone using a computer that I no longer have.  When I go into the iPhone's settings>general>iTunes Wi-Fi Sync menu, it says that it will sync with that old computer when it is available?  Can my iPhones only sync with one computer at a time?  If so, what do I do if I no longer have that original computer?

  • Can't Get E4200 Set Up to Extend Time Capsule Network

    I have a location with two buildings on it. I had an E4200 working fine in the main building and now I'm replacing it with a Time Capsule and would like to use the E4200 in the other building to extend the network to encompass both buildings.
    The first buildling with the main connection and the Time Capsule has a default IP of 10.0.1.1 The two buildings are too far away from each for effective wireless bridging, but they do have an ethernet cable running from one to another.
    I tested the cable between the buildings and it's working properly picking up a DHCP address from the Time Capsule.
    I'm trying to set up the E4200 to simply extend the network by plugging in the ethernet cable from the Time Capsule LAN port to the E4200 WAN port in the other building. I'd like to use the same network name and everything so the E4200 simply picks up the clients in the second building and sends them back to the Time Capsule. I'm hoping this will allow Time Machine back ups when using the E4200 signal.
    For the life of me, I can't figure out what these settings should be and what I have below certainly doesn't work. Here is a picture of the E4200 Router Options. Can someone please tell me what these should be to accomplish this task? The Time Capsule has a DHCP range of 10.0.1.2 - 10.0.1.200. NAT Translation is on in the E4200 options in another section as well if that matters. I also tried setting the Static IP address from the Internet Connection type and the Router Address to the same 10.0.1.250, but the E4200 router won't allow me to do that.
    I appreciate any help out there as I'm going a little crazy having worked on this for a few weeks now with so many different settings and pieces of hardware. Thanks!

  • Can't get the new computer to recognize iTunes Library

    Dear All,
    I've made progress in that I "organized" all my music into an iTunes library on an external hard drive, connected that hard drive to the new computer, authorized the new computer, and pointed it to the f:\itunes\itunes music directory on that external hard drive in the preferences. But itunes on the new computer isn't "pulling in" all the music. Instead, it found a few mp3 files on the new computer and it's going with that.
    Given it's vast size, I'd prefer to keep my itunes library on that external hard drive.
    Why can't I get iTunes to go with the library on the external hard drive?
    Thanks!
    Jeff

    Dear Turing,
    If you live anywhere near the Chicago area I'd love to buy you a beer for all your excellent help!
    What screwed me up was, when I moved the old computer's iTunes library to the external drive, all I had to do was tell iTunes point to it because it was the same library as before. However, to the new computer, it's a completely different library requiring the steps you so eloquently outlined for iTunes to see it. But there is one more thing I don't understand.
    Per our previous discussion, I "organized" and "consolidated" the old iTunes library on the external drive (after removing quite a few folders to make it fit!) to solve the separate ITunes and Amazon music folders issue. Then, once you helped me out and I got the new computer to look at the library on the external drive, it still has a problem with the 6,000+ pieces of Amazon music. ITunes says it wants to "see" the original files.
    I'm copying that folder to the drive right now, but I though consolidating the library would mitigate the need for iTunes to have access to the original files. Am I stuck with my two folder system forever?
    Thank you so much!
    Jeff

  • How can we get a new computer to recognize photo folders on the iPhone so they can be deleted from the iPhone?

    My wife has an old Windows Vista computer that is unable to operate the new IOS. I have installed iTunes on my Windows 7 computer and authorized the computer on iTunes. We are unable to delete/recognize photo FOLDERS from her iPhone 4 on my computer within iTunes. The only photos I can pull off her phone are being recognized by the windows system as a camera plug-in from her Camera Roll on the iPhone.

    iOS does not operate on the computer.
    If she has Vista, she can run iTunes 11 which is needed for iOS 7.

    Do you want to delete the photos on the camera or copy them back to the computer?

    I accidentally erased a music album that I purchased on iTunes. How can I get the iTunes store to recognize that it is no longer in my iTunes library and download it again?

    Delete the broken links in iTunes then look at your purchased list to redownload.
    If this happened because you were deleting files from the iTunes folder in Finder, don't.  You have to let iTunes do all the deleting and moving or you will end up with broken links.

    You can, but how are you going to back up those other files?  When (not if) your Time Capsule fails, you risk losing them.  See #Q3 in Using Time Machine with a Time Capsule for details.
    Then can i access these files only on the time capsule without connecting it?
    Not sure what you mean.  You have to connect a computer, either via Ethernet cable or wirelessly, to read or write to the disk.

  • I want to store movies on an SD disk, watch them on the way to Europe, then use the chip to record photos in my camera.  I can't get the iPad mini to recognize the videos I've recorded.

    I want to store movies on an SD disk, watch them on the way to Europe, then use the chip to record photos in my camera.  I can't get the iPad mini to recognize the videos I've recorded.

    I'm a bit lost - you first say
    "The only file(s) I can sometimes get it to recognize are the ones shot with a camera onto an SD card"
    then you say
    " If I take an unused SD card and record video with my camera, it will see, and import the file to the Photo app."
    In the first statement, aren't you using an SD card in the camera?  And what do you mean by "unused SD card"?    Cameras put their files in specific folders on a card, and your device only reads photos and video from those folders, not from anywhere else on the card.
