Connecting Apple devices
Listmates: Has anyone had problems connecting Apple devices to the network set up after connecting all PC's and other devices (a BlueRay disc player, for Netflix, etc.), using the WRT160N router? Cannot seem to connect either my iPod Touch, or my daughter's iMac computer to the new wireless network created when I installed the new router -- no problems with wired connections to the BlueRay player or a PC in my office, and I was able to set up a wireless connection to my Dell laptop upstairs, effortlessly, yet nothing I try allows me to connect the iPod Touch or the iMac computer wirelessly.
To my knowledge, I never set up a Password for the wireless connection between the new router and the Dell laptop (the wireless network), and I'm continually asked for one when trying to connect with my iPod; have tried the sign-on password for the laptop, the same with the "home" computer to which the router is connected (wired), and anything else I can think of (including the Encryption Key generated by the router when installing) -- nothing allows me to connect.
Thanks!
There is no such issue between wrt160n router and MAC devices. For wireless connection issues, you can try changing the channel on your router. Which security mode are you using on your wireless router? Do you receive any kind of error message while connecting on a MAC device?
Refer to this link on how to change the channel http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=f2625b15a5d7454b8e7fafbe65d5aa63_4009.xml&pid=80&r...

Connected Apple devices - can no longer right click to show info
I have iTunes 12.0.1.26 installed, but now find that you are no longer able to right click on any connected Apple device and look at the details of that device, such as space used, software version, or look at the device settings for syncing Calendars and Emails etc. Why have these options been removed? If I right-click on my iPhone, the only options I get are Play, Shuffle, Eject, Reset Warnings. You actually cannot click on the device itself to reveal this information, all you get is the expansion arrow to the left and the sub-menus underneath, such as Music, Films etc.
Not all of my devices are on the latest software version, particularly my iPhone, as I cannot fit it on!View > Show Sidebar or Ctrl+S. Your device should be on the left like iTunes 10. Do the results change?

When connecting Apple devices to your iPhones wireless hotspot do those devices stop background data processes to conserve data?
In other words if you have a limited data plan on your iPhone will your other Apple devices such as an iPad automatically cease background data transfers to conserve data usage?Nice trick to connect your Apple Devices to your wireless network.

This problem makes it impossible for me to sync any apple device to my itunes library. I have tried reinstalling itunes, but it still doesn't work. My computer recognises the devices, but itunes doesn't.
Suggestions?See:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
I would start with
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7

Connect E2000 To Apple Devices
This is what I found when connecting Apple devices...
after you've setup router with new username, password, etc
in browser, go to wireless router ip address: http://192.168.1.1
click on Wireless / Advanced Wireless Settings
disable Security Mode
connect new device to your unlocked wireless network in list
back in browser, enable Security Mode
connect new device to your locked wireless network in list
new device will prompt for password
I had to do this to 3 iPhones and an iPad. Windows computer prompted for password when I tried to connect.
Hope this helps!

My iPad Mini with retina display suddenly will not connect to the Internet. It shows full wifi bars, yet no web pages will load. My Internet is working with all other apple devices in my house. The iPad also no longer works with celluar data. I'm not sure what has happened. It was working fine a few hours ago. I have tried resetting it, ive restarted my browser etc. I tried to erase all data from my Ipad but I can't do that because it needs to sign into my Apple ID and use the Internet!
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping internet connection)
• Launch Settings app
• Tap on Wi-Fi
• Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
• In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.
Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim

Connecting Apple TV device and Macbook Air (early version) without using a TV
Hei,
I am trying to set up my home cinema using a projector and not a TV. I have a Macbook Air early 2011 version (the one where you can only stream directly from Itunes and use a third party device to play the rest) that I am trying to connect this device to the apple tv device - but as said without using a tv. I have speakers with a console where you can run an optical digital cable from the console to the Apple TV (as this will then give me sorround sound as opposed to the airport express that has not got this option). However my computer and projector is on the other side of the room so I want to be able to wirelessly connect to my speakers via my computer.
All set up guides with the apple tv involves connecting the apple tv device and a TV with an HDMI cable. As I am not using a TV and I am not connecting the apple tv device and my projector only aiming to stream sound to the speakers to the Apple TV device I am at a loss in terms of what I need to do. Can anybody help?
Thank you!
LeneAirplay requires both devices to be connected to the same network (wired or wireless).

I want to buy an Apple TV device but I need to be sure of its benefits. I have contracted a Satellite TV. Is it true that if I connect Apple TV to system, I can watch TV in my IPad wherever by using wireless and App Remote??
If you have an iPad 2 you can wirelessly mirror it to your TV via the ATV device. If you have an iPad 1 then you can use airplay but not all apps are enabled to push video, as the developer needs to do this.
You can also view all local content from iTunes or your iPad, pushed via airplay/home-sharing.
The other services available are iTunes movie rentals, TV shows (past purchases viewable from the cloud), Photo Stream, Netflix, Vimeo, Podcasts, Youtube, Sports etc.

My Apple Computer says "Connecting to Device." I have a HP Officejet Pro 8600
I have a Mac with iOS Yosemite with a Officejet Pro 8600, all of a sudden I open the program and it stays on teh screen that says "Connecting to Device"
Help. I can't open the program to scan. I can still print though, I'm not sure if that's due to the cord connected or the fact that I still have it hooked up to wifi
Please help
ThanksHi @Smoove
I can't say for certain what is causing the issue at this point, but I would be happy to help you figure it out, and more importantly, resolve the issue.
Let's reset the printing system, repair disk permissions, re-add the printer using the right driver, and try to scan again.
Reset Printing System
Click the Apple icon ( ), and then click System Preferences.
In the Hardware section, click Print & Fax/Scan. The Print & Fax/Scan dialog box opens.
Right-click (or Ctrl +click) in the left panel, and then click Reset printing system…
Click OK to confirm the reset.
Type the correct Name and Password.
Click OK to reset the printing system. The Print & Fax dialog box shows no printer selected
Note: This will remove all printers in the print and Fax/Scan, any printer removed can be re-added later by clicking the plus (+) symbol.
Repair Disk Permissions
On the Dock, click Applications, and then click Utilities.
Double-click Disk Utility.
Highlight your hard drive/partition on the left (by default this is "Macintosh HD").
Click the Repair Disk Permissions button at the bottom of the window.
Once the repair is complete, restart the computer and add the printer back.
When you add the printer, please ensure you are using the HP driver.
Select Add other Printer or Scanner
Select the printer you are adding and next to 'Use' you can select the printer driver
I look forward to hearing from you.

ISE 1.3 laptop wireless connection issue & apple devices
hi all,
i am configuring ISE 1.3 with wireless lan controller 2504 with 7.4.121 version.
i am using EAP-tls method of authentication . my certificate server everything working fine. i have one issue which is that i am trying to connect from my laptop i am getting the following error
"The server "ISE.example.local" presented a valid certificate issued by "DC-CA", but "DC-CA" is not configured as a valid trust anchor for this profile. Further, the server "ISE.example.local" is not configured as a valid NPS server to connect to for this profile"
but still i am able to connect and my profiling is working fine, but other laptops when i try to connect i am not getting any this kind of error . it directly says connection cannot connect.
is this problem of certificate on the ISE or the laptop issue , the laptops are not in domain.
even in the apple devices also when we put AD authentication it is accepting after that when we open the browser it is not going to the guest portal it saying some apple captiva portal some thing like that.
please let me know anybody faced this issue?? what is the cause and solution.Dear, Freerk.
Thank you for your information.
I'd like to try captive bypass function then look at the traffic flow to understand very well, however, it looks like required reboot the controller.
ours is not able to do rebooting process so that, only the choice will be I must search testing result by my self... if you have a result from your lab, could you share with me?
Result message after enable captive bypassing configuration.
(Cisco Controller) config>network web-auth captive-bypass enable
Web-auth support for Captive-Bypass will be enabled.
You must reset system for this setting to take effect. -
Can I connect 2 sony bravia's, a sony home theatre, 2 macbooks, 2 ipads, 3 iphones and a dell laptop and stream media from my apple devices to my tv? I have a sony bravia 600 series and 700 series and a home theatre( sony 7100 series)
The only way to stream directly to your TV would be if it is an AirPlay-enabled device.
There are many AirPlay-enabled devices but I am not familiar with Sony's products. If yours do not specifically indicate AirPlay capability, then you need an AirPlay-enabled device such as an AppleTV connected to your Sony TV or Sony AVR. -
