Can't get apple tv to connect to wireless

I've tried restarting, disconnecting and reconnecting. I've tried lowering the resolution, I've tried everything. My macbook connects fine. HELP!!!!

The details that can be provided in answers are limited by the details provided. And since almost no details were provided there are not really any specifics that can be given.
Are you sure you are entering the WiFi user name and password into the WiFi interface. ATV has a lot of different types of user ID's (WiFi, Home sharing, iCloud, Photo stream, etc.) for it's differnt services.
What happens when you try to enter your user ID and password? Are you seeing your WiFi network on the list? Are you sure you are connecting to YOUR wifi network and not someone else's?

Can't get older mac to connect to wireless router

I have an older G4 mac, which had an Airport wireless snow type of router. I've currently upgrade to an iMac with an Airport Extreme router. I can't get the old G4 to 'see' the Airport Extreme Network, so I can use the other computer to check email and get on the internet. Do I have to load in the same Airport software on both machines? Any help will be appreciated.

On my G4, I have the software installed which I used when setting up my other wireless router, the snow M8440. Could this be the problem?
Yes. Let's take a step back. You can use any computer to configure your new Airport Extreme, but first be sure you have installed the Airport Utility program from the link I posted above. The earlier version of Airport Utility you used for your Snow Airport doesn't have the necessary features to configure your new Airport Extreme.
The only reason to keep the old Airport Utility program would be to configure your old Snow Airport Base Station, which you're not using any more. So put it aside.
Since you're having trouble getting your G4 to connect at all, it makes sense to use your new iMac to configure your new AirPort Extreme. So let's use it for now.
The ability to use the dual band feature of the new Extreme is described starting on page 20 of the following: Apple Airport Networks (early 2009). The document is very lengthy but don't let that bother you - Apple's Airport base stations are extremely versatile and the manual gets very detailed, but most of it won't concern you.
I made a wireless network named Airport Extreme on my iMac.
The way you worded this concerned me, so at the risk of sounding Presidential, "let me be clear"
Technically, you don't want to create a wireless network on your iMac - the wireless network with which you want to connect is created by your Extreme, and you use Airport Utility to make that happen.
Your Airport icons on all your computers should look like one of these:
If it looks like this:
then you have created a "computer to computer network". You don't want that.
Next: the passage of the Apple Airport Networks manual above also describes how to set up your Airport Network's wireless security...
I click on the Airport Extreme, the next window comes up with Wireless Security: WEP password. I type in my password I used to set up the Airport Extreme network, and get the following error message: There was an error joining the Airport network "Airport Extreme". ...
I advocate using no security at first, to eliminate one roadblock when first configuring a network. After everything works, set up WPA or WPA2 Personal. I'm reasonably sure your G4 supports it. The older WEP protocol is no longer considered secure - it amounts to "feel-good" security.
I trust this gets things pointed in the right direction. If you're still stuck write back and we'll get you un-stuck. Your G4 will work with your new Extreme.

Can't get HP 3050A to connect to wireless router

Hi,
I've recently switched from Comcast to AT&T and I cannot get my printer to connect to the new AT&T router. I've gone through the same steps as far as holding down the WPS button and what have you that it states to do on the printer but it just "times out" and won't connect. I had no problem connecting wirelessly when I was using Netgear router and Comcast. Now it won't connect and it's very frustrating. On top of that, I cannot find my printer install CDs. I haven't needed them before, but I have no idea what to do now. Please help. Thank you!
Darryl

Hi Darryl,
I did a little digging, and I have some bad news. I received this information from a Mac subject matter expert regarding this printer in combination with Mavericks:
The ASU driver does not include a Wi-Fi Setup option. This means, a wireless installation in Mavericks is only possible if the printer is already setup up for the network.
Unfortunately, this means that unless your printer was already set up on your current wireless network, it can't be set up on a new or different wireless network without a full feature driver. Furthermore, this printer does not have a full feature driver beyond OS X v10.8 Mountain Lion.
This might not help, but this printer can be set up on a new wireless network for Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Mac OS X v10.5 through OS X v10.8.
For Mavericks, it looks like a USB connection is the only way to print.

I can't get my phone to connect to wireless printer

My iPhone 4 used to print to my wireless printer just fine. Now it will not print at all. I don't know what changed or how to fix it.

Try resetting your iPhone by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
Also try power cycling your wireles router and your printer... turn them off for 30 secs and then back on.

Have you confirmed that the app supports AirPlay? If it doesn't, then you'll have to connect via screen mirroring. See:

I get a message the message " Can not get mail. Not connected to server" Yet I am connected with Wi-fi and can access all other websites. Can you advise? My iPad is only a month old!

Has any one experienced not being able to send mail and only receiving some? I get the message " can not get mail. No connection to the server! " Yet I get some mail but can not send out any. My iPad is only 1 month old! It worked perfectly for about 10 days.
Thx

Hey agnesfromcopenhagen k,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues with Mail on your iPad. The following resource provides some troubleshooting steps. What kind of account are you using? Some internet providers require that you be connected to your home Wi-Fi (or for work accounts, inside your corporate Wi-Fi/firewall). Also, some email accounts require two-step authentication. For more information, see this resource:

Just got an iPhone and can't get iTunes Match to connect. Keep getting a message that I'm not subscribed, but already did on my pc. Any ideas?

You must be signed into the mobile iTunes Store using the same Apple ID you used to originally purchase iTunes Match. On the iOS device go to Settings > iTunes and App Stores and tap the Apple ID. Log out, then log in with the correct ID.

Additional things to try.
Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
On your iPad go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings and see if that enables you to connect.
