Having trouble setting up a network

My house has two macs. A powermac g5 and a imac g5. My setup is as follows. Cable modem to a router, router to the powermac g5(ethernet cable) and again the router to an airport express (ethernet cable). The imac g5 is located on a different floor of the house so I just installed an airport express card in it. I can connect to the internet fine via airport, but I'm having a problem sharing information between the two computers. Particularly I was hoping to share the itunes music library, and use bonjour messaging. If anyone can help me with this I would be very appreciative.
Best,
Ken

In your configuration you have inadvertently created a different subnet for the wireless iMac G5. To remedy this, configure the AirPort Express so that the option to distribute IP addresses is DISABLED.

Having trouble setting up home network for home sharing

Hi there, I'm new the idea of home sharing. What i want to do is watch the movies that i have on my iMac on my iPad. So sort of like wireless streaming.
I see that Home sharing on iTunes allows you to view videos stored on your iMac on another device like the iPad etc.
I've already setup Home sharing accounts and looged in on iTunes on both my iMac and iPad.
The problem is being on the same Wi-Fi network. I don't understand what this means.
I regualrly use Internet sharing to share my Macs internet connection with my iPad over WiFi.
But I'm not sure what setting I should use for home sharing to work to watch videos from iMac on iPad
On my iMac under Sharing there's a whole bunch of options DVD or CD sharing, File Sharing, Printer Sharing etc.
The only box i have checked is Internet Sharing..
What to i have to do to get the iMac and iPad sharing video over WiFi through home sharing??

Having trouble setting up my network with Uverse. How do I get everything to play nice?

My ISP is AT&T Uverse. 1 TV is through an ethernet port and the other 2 are wireless connections (through the WAP that AT&T provided).
I have a Synology DS213+ (DSM 4.1) and a new gen Airport Express.
Not sure if it is better to try to run in bridge mode or router behind a router? Does anyone know the pros/cons?
1st I'd like to setup to where I use the DS213 to back up my macbook, host iTunes, and a USB printer.
2nd I'd like to be able to access the DS213 over the internet, I've been told that it won't work with the Uverse router, so this is why I got the Airport express.
I ran into an IP conflict and it made the wi-fi unaccessible. Just got everything reset to the factory settings, tvs and wifi working again. Currently the AE and DS are NOT connected to anything. I'm a little shy to try anything new until I have a full plan/steps.
I'm pretty sure I can do step 1, but wanted to see if step 2 is possible before I start configuring anything.
Any advice out there?

If you are connecting to you home wi-fi, then the password will be whatever you at it to be.

Having trouble setting up network

Hi guys,
I just recently moved to a new house and am having trouble setting up the network with my airport extreme. There is a cable modem that is networked to the house so that every room has an outlet.
I connected the airport to one of the outlets with my macbook and when I create network, I cannot connect to the internet wirelessly even though the macbook detects a network when I set it up with bridge mode. But hard wired through the router I can surf the web as I am doing right now.
When I hit share an IP address, the internet does not work at all. It seems to work fine with my old netgear router, but would prefer using the airport.
I've also reset the airport as well with still no luck. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Have you tried powering down the modem for 5 min and then turning on with the ethernet connected to the WAN port of airport extreme?

I am having trouble setting up my time capsule. the amber light is flashing. i have a Verizon FIOS network that i use for the internet (WiFi) and do not want to configure the Time Capsule to do that function. I just want the Time Capsule to back up.

Simple.. bridge the TC.. in the apple utility in the NAT and DHCP area.
Plug it into the FIOS router.. you can turn off wireless in the TC if you want.. or use it.. it can work faster if you are nearby and can select 5ghz.. but up to you.

My apple TV is having trouble setting date and time

While fast forwarding a purchased movie, ATV froze. Then it wouldn't play any movies. Unplugged it, restarted it, tried to reset the settings, and it keeps getting hung up on date and time. Any ideas?
Thanks!

It is having trouble connecting to the network. Make sure location is set correctly, DNS should be on automatic (settings - general - network). If on wifi try Ethernet. Make sure router is up to date. Reboot ATV and router

having trouble setting up wired apple tv, can't get itunes because network don't setup time?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
    1.    Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
    2.    Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    3.    Restart your router.
    4.    Reset the Apple TV (Settings > General > Reset > Reset all settings)
    5.    Restore the Apple TV (Settings > General > Reset > Restore)

Trouble setting up a network printer

Hello,
I'm having trouble setting up the new printer. It's an HP ColorJet 2600n and it's connected to a Linksys WRT54GS wireless router. According to the limited instructions that came with the printer, I should be able to just plug it into the router and it will work. That's not the case. We have 5 computers that will be using the printer.
1GHz Imac PowerPC G4
Dual 2.3GHz PowerPC G5
Dual 3.0 Xeon Mac Pro
a 5 year old G4 laptop
2.0GHz MacBook Pro
All of the computers are up to date with OSX and all other updates. the laptops and the Imac are on the network wireless. What do I have to do to get this printer working? Networking and whatnot is not my area of experise so I don't really know where to begin or what to look for.

the 2600n is a Bonjour-only printer. When you Add in Printer Setup, you just look for it to appear in the Default Browser window and select it.
Because HP installers usually screw up permissions, you should repair permissions (Disk Utility) and restart the Mac(s) before attempting to Add the printer.
I don't have a Linksys router - it is possible it blocks mDNS (Bonjour). Maybe there's a firmware update? I would check several sources before updating the Linksys firmware - they have been know to have negative effects on Macs.
Just checking - do you only have one router or a router plus wireless base station (like Airport Extreme)?

I am having trouble connecting to my network all of a sudden. It is not an issue with the service/router. I keep getting kicked off and getting a ! in my airport... anyone know what's up with this?

I am having trouble connecting to my network all of a sudden. I am able to connect to other networks but not my own. It is not an issue with the service/router because other devices connect fine. I keep getting kicked off and getting a ! in my airport. Last time it happended I called apple and the suggested I wipe my HD and reinstall everything. I did and it did not work. One day I turned my laptop on and it connected no problem. Now it has kicked me off again. I tried resetting my IP address but that does not work either! Has anyone had this problem?

Try this:
Apple menu / System Preferences / Network.
Click Location: and select Edit Locations..
Click + (plus sign), and enter a name for the new location - anything will do.
Apply this.

Having trouble setting up my website. It's probably a silly mistake.

So I've registered a domain and hosting plan with A Simple Orange which had a pretty good deal since I had a coupon for 20% off. I've tried using Joomla to manage my website, but I couldn't get the hang of it. So I'm trying out iWeb 09' now and just having trouble setting it up. I've gone to me.com and added my website and added the CNAME correctly I hope. Here is a picture. http://imgur.com/XI8Lw.png
Next I opened iWeb and setup MobileMe in the preferences panel. I've tried publishing the information from iWeb to my website, but my home page doesn't change. You can see here at RyanSchefer.com that it's just plan

No. Your CNAME setting is not correct. The CNAME and web.me.com are correct with web.me.com being your host. However, your domain name is incorrect - don't understand why you have put mobileme before it? You just enter either your domain name on its own so domain.com or you need to set up two separate CNAME entries, one being for www, CNAME, web.me.com and then one being @, CNAME, web.me.com. The @ stands for your domain name and the www is your sub domain.
Try altering this and it should work okay.

Having trouble setting up email accounts in the mail app?

Hi Apple community,
I am having trouble setting up my email accounts with the osX mail application. I have two accounts, an outlook and my college email through google. When I try to add the outlook account the prompt says that it cannot connect to the server and when I try my college mail i get the following prompt.
"Trying to log in to the Exchange server “autodiscover-s.outlook.com” failed. Make sure the email address and password you entered are correct, then click Continue."
Please note that my college account is run by gmail and ends in murraystate.edu
Thanks, Will.

Hey will,
okay for your college email. Heres what you do.
Try adding your email and wait for the message to come up
Trying to log in to the Exchange server “autodiscover-s.outlook.com” failed. Make sure the email address and password you entered are correct, then click Continue."
Once it does, you will notice 2 extra boxes One says username and the other password. You will notice that the username will not have @murraystate.edu
Add this and continue and this should now be added as an email account and should be able to receive emails as normal.
For your outlook emails, I would recommend using the following article to set it up. It is fairly straightforward.

Having trouble setting up FaceTime. keep giving me Apple ID password

having trouble setting up FaceTime. trouble at verifying use I'd. I have my email setup with different password since I have tw setup email. my Apple ID has different password. same email name.

Hello sangjaimepark,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with activating FaceTime. I recommend reviewing the article below for FaceTime activation issues. When trying to activate FaceTime, you will need to use the email address you use for your Apple ID and your Apple ID password and not your email password:

Having trouble setting up e-mail on new iPhone 4s. I would like to sync with my outlook mail, contacts

I am having trouble setting up my email and syncing my outlook calendar wiht my new iphone 4s.

How do you connect to the internet?
Most of the time, the problem lies here. You can try a couple of things. First, try only 3G or carrier data. Then, try only wifi. If that still doesn't work, your only other option is to try a different hotspot.
I had the same problem before when I updated to iOS 4.3. I thought it was the update at first. I usually have the carrier data turned off because my plan doesn't have an unlimited provision for it. I forgot that I also switched ISPs from DSL to a visibility unit package - meaning I had to setup my laptop so that I could get wifi from it. I realized this when I visited a friends house that I knew I could connect properly before.
My problem was with my laptop. It seems that Little Snitch blocks the ports being used for mail and push notifications. I haven't figured it out exactly since I still can't get email when I'm using my laptop connection. But, it works fine when I'm using ONLY 3G or both/wifi only if connected to a different hotspot.
Hope that helps.
