Can't get Windows XP PC to network to airport extreme
I'm no computer buff so please spare the technical speak! We have a PC and a new mac book and just purchased netgear, airport extreme base station and apple TV. Good news is that mac book can share info with apple tv and print via base station (we have solid green light). Windows XP PC can access interent as can macbook. Windows XP PC cannot print via printer via airport even though XP was used to set up airport in first place. Apple tv picks up apple network and netgear so I guess that PC is struggling to find airport network. How do I resolve this please?
Duane
Have now printed off PC via airport connection! I just clicked Bonjour and 3 clicks later it worked!
Now just have the problem of seeing files (especially iTunes) located on my PC on my macbook via the network and also can't see the iTunes on my PC on my Apple TV but I can see the iTunes on my macbook.

How can I get an email contact to return my Airport Extreme Base Station?
Just bought it on line a couple of weeks ago, and as seems to be the case with everyone else here it just has never, ever worked right. Dropped signals, failure to renew DHCP's etc.
Make a long story short, I unlugged it, went back to my old Airport Base Station and all is fine, so clearly it's the very first piece of crap I've ever gotten from this great company (I currently own 5+ apples.)
Anyway...how can I get it exchanged without having to call Bangalore?

How can I get a PC connect to my home Airport Extreme network ?
HELP! I'm trying to get a new PC (that we know has a working wireless card-it works fine at Best Buy) to connect to my home Airport Express network?
It's an older Apple Airport, but I have multiple Mac's of various ages, an iPad, 2 iPhone 4S & an iPod Touch and they ALL connect with no problems.
The PC can see the network - it reads the name of it - but won't load any page. I keep getting a "this page can't be displayed" message, and in the windows task bar I can see multiple bars (indicating its connected) but it has the deadly yellow triangle with a ! on it....
I tried calling the manufacturer tech support and they had me delete & re-install drivers, but that did nothing. We took the PC back to Best Buy today and the techs there were able to log onto the internet - the Best Buy techs said that their in-store wireless router was old & slow.
So I am at a loss to get this PC to connect to the internet.
Any suggestions or thoughts are much appreciated.
Thanks

How can I get two hard drives connected to the Airport Extreme. There's only 1 USB port.
I believe I want to use TWO USB Hard Drives with my Airport Extreme, but it seems there is only 1 USB port.
I am currently using that USB port for my backup external hard drive (works with Time Machine). But now I have decided I want a common hard drive for music, photos, etc. for the two Macs in my home to share. I read that you do that via the same port.
What should I do? Is there a way to use 2 hard drives - a common shared and one for time machine?
Please advise and thank you!singer777 wrote:

Use a (powered) USB hub.

I hate to have to tell you this, but backing-up that way is unreliable and not supported by Apple. See: Using Time Machine with an Airport Extreme Air Disk. -

How can I get Windows (v7 x64) to open in Dreamweaver (CS5) if I right click it?
Hi
How can I get Windows (v7 x64) to open in Dreamweaver (CS5) if I right click it?
None of the normal mechanisms of setting an application to be the DEFAULT application for the .HTML file type seem to work...
Extremely irritating.

A list of various "recommended applications" but not including Dreamweaver. It's not in the list of Other Applications either. And if I browse for it, my selection of dreamweaver.exe is flatly ignored without message.

Where can I get Window's software for my Macbook Pro? I'm trying to run ARCview. However, it requires Windows. I'm trying Bootcamp. but, it isn't recognising the disk that I currently have.
Maybe because it's not a 'genuine' retail version? Many OEM versions just don't work - and I've no idea which flavor of Win7 your friend downloaded. Obviously one that Boot Camp doesn't recognize. Best to just pony up the cash for a full retail version, of some flavor - and use it. You COULD, of course, download the 14-day trial version of Parallels Desktop and see if you can install Win7 as a virtual machine... it might or might not work. Boot Camp just isn't finding the resources it needs on the copy you have - try Parallels and if that doesn't work just purchase a retail (or student discounted) version.

If I use Bootcamp, can I get Windows viruses on my Mac?
I am using Mac OS X 10.8.3. I am about to install Windows 7 on my iMac with Bootcamp. Can I get Windows virus on my Mac because of Bootcamp?
If you do, it'll only affect the Windows partition of your hard drive.
If you feel really worried, I'd suggest running Windows in a virtual machine using Parallels or similar. You can set things up so that there's no access to your Mac from the virtual machine and, if the VM gets a problem, you can just delete it. -

I can't get Window's Media Player to "recognize" my new ipod shuffle. Does anyone have a solution? When I pull the ipod shuffle up in Devices and Printers, it says it needs Troubleshooting, but the Troubleshooting provides no solution.
Windows Media Player? As far as I know, that won't work. You need to install iTunes

That will install the software you need to use your shuffle with your computer. -
Help Mac-brothers: can't get Windows to install
Thanks for reading. No matter how I try, I just can't get Windows (either Vista or XP Pro) installed on my Macpro! I made a partition with Bootcamp, started the installationprocess, on asking where to put Windows I selected the Bootcamp-partition and reformatted it. No matter what I do, it keeps telling me that it can't install Windows becouse it does not see a suitable sytem volume. what am I doing wrong? It drives me mad. Any help is welcome. Thank in advance!
Vista x64 doesn't like the NTFS partition BootCamp creates, so you have to delete and format, then reboot off the Vista DVD again.
And sometimes it only works if OS X is nowhere to be found (removed).
I always put Windows Vista on its own hard drive. And pull my OS X drive.
Having four drive bays, very easy.
Never tried with Pro. And in fact, I only 'tested' BootCamp Assistant once or twice. I just format a drive as FAT and then let Vista format it. BCA isn't necessary, and you can install the Apple drivers later when Windows is fully installed, patched, updated, and running fine. -

where can I get windows 7 keyboard and mouse drivers for bootcamp?
I have installed Windows 7 in a boot camp partition. I can only use usb keyboard and mouse by booting Windows intyo safe mode, and I am totally unable to use my Apple wireless keyboard and mouse. How do I resolve this?
I'm running Lion - 10.7.2. Boot Camp Assistant fails to download drivers - that issue has been going on for some time, and has been reported by others as well.
But that answers your question. You get the drivers by using BCA to download them. Your inability to download the drivers is a separate issue than not being able to use your wireless keyboard.
While some people may have issues downloading the drivers, many others have successfully downloaded the drivers. I have downloaded them fine on several different Macs. It may take a long time, depending on the speed of your internet connection. Mine took over 3 hours.
Regardless, you need to download the drivers using Boot Camp Assistant. Try again, and if you still have problems, start a new thread and provide as much details as possible to describe what your seeing so that we don't have to go through this back-and-fourth, and you'll get your answer quicker. -
AppleScript error with iTunes: Can't get window 'iTunes' of class pcap ...
Hi there. I'm working on a script that posts iTunes track names to Campfire based on the AirPlay device in use. I've been getting a "Can't get window 'iTunes' of <<class pcap>> 'iTunes' of application 'System Events'" and was hoping someone might see an obvious answer. The error pops up randomly.

I'm positive there's a better way to check if AirTunes is the active device (maybe by seeing if the current playlist is a device playlist, and checking the source name?), but I don't have any way to test that. -
