HT202213 Trouble with iTV connecting on my windows PC.

Hi,
We have an iPad and a PC laptop, the latter running Windows 7.
I bought an iTV, logged in on all with my apple ID which is the same on both computers and the ATV.
The ATV can communicate with the iPad and it did it intuitively but it can't find nor play my music in iTunes and on my PC. The PC is updated to 11.1.1 and have tried everything to make the connection.
Need some help and thanks in advance.
Mykie

Hi and thanks for the help.
When I check the firewall, what exactly am I checking for?
Here's what I have:
I see my home network setting is shown as "NOT CONNECTED" and maybe that's the problem? If so, how would I change that?
My home network firewall is turned on but I also see that iTunes is already on my allowed list. Doesn't that include iTV? And I see that the firewall is supposed to alert me if anyone tried to get in there....that didn't happen either. Beside the "TURN OFF FIREWALL" button is a warning, "NOT RECOMMENDED"
Regarding the site you suggestd I go to on Apple....I had been there and believe I had complied with all conditions before requesting help here. For example, all the apple ID's on the appleTV, iPad and my laptop are the same; I have the latest version of iTunes; not in sleep mode, etc.
What did I miss?
Thanks again,
Mykie

Chuck's Dilema

Hi Chuck,
TenFourFox is the most up to date browser for our PPCs, they even have G4 & G5 optimized versions...
http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/
I'd avoid vesrion 24 though, as it no longer supports plug-ins like Flash.
SeaMonkey seems pretty fast also, with many options...
http://www.seamonkey-project.org/
http://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/
Might also look into iCab & OmniWeb versions.
Also...
The last really supported Flash for PPC was 10.1.102.64, but if it's for like Facebook or such, people have been fooling FB to think they have a leter version installed.

TS1591 i just got an ihome system and had trouble with it connecting to my iPhone. I finally got it to work and now my itunes doesn't recognize my phone. My software is up to date on both my Mac and my iPhone and I have shut everything down and restarte

i just got an ihome system and had trouble with it connecting to my iPhone. I finally got it to work and now my itunes doesn't recognize my phone. My software is up to date on both my Mac and my iPhone and I have shut everything down and restarted. Does anyone have any other suggestions?

Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
(If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, can you get a normal iTunes install to go through properly now?
If instead you get an error message during the install (or uninstall), let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

Anyone having trouble with internet connection after downloading mountain lion

After installing Mountain lion to my mid 2011 imac 21" I am having trouble with my internet connection. Anyone else have to deal with this?

Are you on 10.8.2 as ypur profile says? If so, it's worth updating to 10.8.3 which was released last week.

Here's a link to some suggestions that helped some users with similar problems in Lion. May still be relevant to MLion. Also check the links within the article:

Also when I had wifi problems in the past, creating a new network location resolved it:

I've also seen threads where users with wifi problems have successfully solved them by changing the channel in the router's wifi settings.

Issue with G4 connecting to a Windows File Share

We have a single MAC G4 that our marketing department uses for graphic development. when we first setup the PC we were able to connect to our Windows shares on the network. For better than a year now we have had intermittent problems with connecting to our Windows file share. It would drop the TCP connection to the file share, you would need to go back a re-authenicate to the share. Two weeks ago the problem worsened, we can't connect the to Windows files share at all now. I have tried different users accounts including my own which has domain admin authority. However I have a samba file share and a snap server running on the network and I am able to connect to these machines with no issues. I suspect a configuration problem, but not sure where to look next.
The MAC is running the following OS version and Kernel
OS 10.3.9 (7W98)
Kernel Darwin 7.9.0
Any guidance would be appreciated

I just figured it out myself.

IMac troubles with AirPort connection

A few days ago — after I ugraded my iMac G5 to 10.4.10 — my iMac stopped communicating properly with my network. It will connect to the wireless network and the Internet, but it will no longer print wirelessly or stream music to either Express base station. I have one base station connected to my cable modem and a stereo and another connected to the printer and another stereo. My MacBook, also upgraded to 10.4.10, has no problems with wireless connectivity, except that it can no longer find my shared iTunes library from my iMac.
When I run the Airport Admin Utility program, the iMac cannot find either base station.
I've tried restoring the base stations to factory setting, and today I ran an archive and install on the iMac. It still has the problems.
I've heard a lot of people are having wireless problems with 10.4.10. Anybody figured this one out yet?
Thanks for any ideas,
Amy

every since I updated my 17" macbook pro
I have the same problem.
my computer does not stay connected to my network (airport)
it keeps disconnecting and its annoying
some times it'll disconnect 2-3 time in one minute.
and my internet is much slower now.
I feel like restoring the older OS.
I know this because I also have a powerbook 15" connected to the same network and it was never updated so it runs smooth
does anyone know how to remedy this
Thanks
sookie

Why am I having trouble with Internet connect?

I have just set up a broadband connection using a USB modem on my phone line. I have to reconnect each time I wake the computer from Sleep as the Modem gets its power supply through the USB port. Sometimes it takes several attempts to establish a connection. I have checked the configuration (several times). Is the problem most likely to be:
a) With Internet Connect ?
b) With my ISP?
C) With the modem?
G4 ibook Mac OS X (10.4.8)
G4 ibook

My guess, the modem.
It's probably taking some time for the USB modem to power up, perform its startup tests, load its configuration and be ready to respond to the network.
It's one of the reasons I never recommend USB DSL routers.
If the modem supports direct power (vs. being powered by the USB line) you can try using that - at least that way the modem won't power down and need to do its whole startup process again. Either that or replace the USB modem with an ethernet-based one that won't have this problem.

Installed Windows 8.1 on my MBP w/ Bootcamp...trouble with wifi connection, trackpad, sound, etc.

Hello!
I decided to install Windows 8.1 on my Macbook Pro (late 2011/ OS X Lion) by using latest version of Bootcamp and everything went smoothly. My problem is that my wifi network is not being recognized (my home network is not showing up at all and I have to plug in to the router, making this an inconvenience), the trackpad is glitchy, and there is no sound! I've looked at all previous forum posts on this issue and everyone says to uninstall and then reinstall windows via bootcamp and I did so and still am having the same issues. Before I used bootcamp, I tried out Parallels. This program works okay, you just can't have too much going on at the same time because apps will freeze up and your poor CPU is probably crying. Anyways, I'm not entirely sure on what to do at this point. Any suggestions or tips would be most appreciated!
Thank you

I cleared out my USB of it and then downloaded the windows support software again through the Bootcamp set up on my 2nd try of installing Windows 8.1 and same results.

I am having trouble with itunes connecting to the ipod software update server

I am having trouble contacting the ipod update server. I just recently updated my computer with the vista service pack 2 and did necessary repairs but for some reason my itunes will not connect to the server nor to the online itunes store. Does anyone have any ideas?

On rare occasions, the message can be caused by LSP trouble. If that's afoot, I'd try the following document:
Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
(If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.)

Troubles with Tunes (+ QuickTime) 6 for Windows

Impossible to update to, install or reinstall the latest version of iTunes (+ Quicktime).
I always receive the following error messages:
- with iTunesSetup, the InstallShield Wizard gives:
- when repairing => error -3
- when removing + reinstalling => error -3
and afterwards restarting iTunes => error - 2093
- with QuickTimeInstaller, the Installshield Wizard gives:
- when installing => error - 1603
So, I don't succeed to reinstall both programs iTunes and QuickTime and I have no longer access to my music.
Who can solve this problem. Wherefore thanks in advance.
Eve

Eve, you win HANDS DOWN for the funkiest name that I have ever witnessed!!!!
I hope that I can come through for you after you blew me away with that moniker! Here is a post that I added two weeks ago. It includes a solution that worked for me. I hope that it works for you! Good luck.
Hey troubled Podheads,
I was one of the legion with problems in downloading iTunes6 and QT7 for Windows until I tried something (I must say that I am not a pc wizard and I don't know the technical reasons for why the following worked, it just did! So if there are any pc geeks out there, be sure to chime in). Anyway, this is what I did. First uninstall QuickTime if you do have it on your pc. If not, just go to the next step:
Go to START, then RUN. Type in regedit and then click OK. Your REGISTRY EDITOR should open. You should see HKEYLOCALMACHINE in the scroll down menu on the left, with a small box to its left. Make sure that the inside of the box has a negative sign - this will open up the next set of subfolders. Next, make sure that the subfolder, SOFTWARE, has a negative sign in the small box to its left. Next, make sure that there is a negative sign in the box next to the subfolder entitled, Apple Computer, Inc. You'll see at least three subfolders: iPod, iTunes and QuickTime. Click once on the QuickTime folder until it is highlighted and then delete it. You will be asked if you want to delete QuickTime and its subfolders. Click ok and then close out the Registry Editor.
Next, download the stand alone QuickTime 7 at this link (you may have to cut and paste this link to open this website):
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/standalone.html
When you download the stand alone QT7, you may get a couple of error messages (I did), but if you repeatedly click ok (like I did), the QT7 player should load with no problems.
Again, I am no pc geek, but this worked for me and I have gained access to iTunes6 (with video capacity) and my complete library is intact. Nothing like trial and error!! Good luck -- I hope this works for all of you frustrated Podheads out there!

Trouble with keeping connection with Airport express

Hi,
I've got 5-6 year old airport express which gives me some troubles. It has worked for months but recently it just disappeared from Airfoil and when I looked up the settings it said that it wasn't installed.
I tried to reinstall it several times without success. When I used old versions of the program it worked for a few days. And then the same thing happened, it disappeared from airfoil and I had to reinstall it again.
Could it be so that this old model of airport express is in conflict with my Mac Os Leopard system so it keeps forcing my airport settings to go off? Is there a solution to it so I don't have to reinstall it every now and then?
Thanks for your help
Regards Henrik

I need to share a wireless connection to a old powermac that does not have a wifi card. I have an airport express that is connected "join wireless network" mode, and I have run an ethernet cable from the express to the G5. However, I am not getting a internet connection on the G5 (the rest of the wireless network works fine).
If you launch AirPort Utility, put your AirPort Express into "manual setup" mode, then view the AirPort panel, Wireless tab, have you checked "Allow Ethernet clients"?
I am wondering if I should have the express set up in one of the other "wireless mode" options such as, "participate in a WDS network"? What exactly is a WDS network anyway?
WDS is for pre-802.11n equipment. You don't want to use it unless you have to.
If I click on "internet" in Airport Utility, go to the airport express, I see that "connection sharing is set to, "Off (bridge mode)" and grayed out.
What exactly is "bridge mode".
"Bridge mode" delegates control to the "upstream" router. In your case that's what you want.

Can I use my Officejet j4550 all inone with wireless connection to a windows 8 pc

I can print wirelessly to the officejet but haven't been able to figure out how to use scanner from my pc wirelessly. I can only use scanner from another pc connected direclty to the officejet.

Hello vox39,
Yes, you can, but must install the printer software to the Windows 8 pc. This document will help with step-by-step instructions on installing with a USB cable connection.
Please let me know if this helps.
Good luck!

FYI - all of us with problems connecting ipod to windows

A bit of information for all of us that their ipods have stopped being recognised by windows!
I have done the 5 r's 4 times, reinstalled all drivers on windows etc etc ... still not being recognised!!
I have just called Apple Tech support and when I told them the date it stopped working and all the steps Ihave carried out, guess what .. they said send it back as there may be a technical problem with the hard drive on the ipod!!
Thought i'd let you all know!!

Hey everyone
I have been fighting with this problem all night and have eventually solved the problem. The 5 R's sort of works but here is the solution. The problem rests with the latest version of the iPod updater software AND Microsoft's new Windows Defender as well which seem to have had an adverse effect on the software and iPod and how it behaves.
If you are having problems getting the iPod to be recognised on Windows follow the following guidance to uninstall iTunes completely
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93716
You need to start with a blank sheet and get rid of iTunes and clean up all previous installs of it. Make sure you also remove the iPod for Windows software too. Download the LATEST version of iTunes from the Apple web site (I think its 6.0.3) and install it on your machine.
Then, with the CD that came with your 5th Gen iPod install the iPod for Windows software that came on it. Don't worry about what version of iPod software you have on the iPod - it is fine - you can have up to 26-01-06 version which is what I have.
Connect up your iPod - Windows probably still wont recognise it. Don't worry here is the added solution and what the problem is.
The iPod has somehow become disabled in the Hardware profiles on Windows by the recent updates. Let the iPod be connected to your PC for at least 15 secs.
1. Go to My Computer icon on the desktop and right mouse click - go to Properties.
2. On the System Properties window that comes up click on the Hardward Tab.
3. Go to the Device Manager button and click it.
4. Under the listing that comes up do to Disk Drives. Click on the + icon to expand the list. You will now see Apple iPod listed (NB If you have any other external hard drives normally connected to your PC disconnect them beforehand so the drive letter that will be assigned to the iPod is E: - after this problem is fixed you can reattach any external drives fine)
5. You should find that the Apple iPod drive is disabled (has a red cross over it)
6. To enable it, right mouse click on its icon and select, enable.
7. This will cause the iPod to be recognised by Windows and then iTunes should start up as normal.
FOR THOSE WHO DONT SEE THE IPOD IN THE HARD DRIVE LIST:
1. Go to Add New Hardware and the plug and play properties should find the iPod and add it with the relevant hard drive drivers.
Hope this helps everyone!

Anybody has trouble with ipad2 connecting to internet?

I have been gifted an Ipad 2, when I choose my WI-Fi network...it keep spinning and I cannot connect to the internet. I have an Iphone 4 and I'v never had trouble connecting to the internet. I have my internet settings, everything seems fine. Has anybody encountered the same problem??? Your suggestions and tips will be most welcome. Thank you

First power off then back on your phone.
Then verify your network as a check mark next to your network name in settings > wi-fi and if so attempt the Internet.
If that doesn't work, toggle on and off airplane mode, then attempt Internet.
If that doesn't work reset network settings via settings > general > reset > reset network settings.
Please reply if the above fixed or didn't fix your Internet connection issue with iPad 2.
