I can home share to Apple TV via ethernet but not wireless.  Please help!!

This has been driving me mad for a week now. I have an acer Laptop using windows vista. When I connect the Ethernet cable to my rout and laptop, home sharing works fine. But as soon as I disconnect and go wireless, Apple TV cannot find my library. My partner has a HP laptop that operates on windows xp. That works fine. can anyone help and give me a step by step guide with what to do? I've checked every apple forum on the matter and nothing seems to work. I figure it's got something to do with my wireless Internet settings. It can't be the router if my partners library shares ok, right?? I've uninstalled macafee and even turned my windows firewall off. But surely these weren't problems in the first place if Ethernet connection works?!? Am not very tech savvy, so any simple things to check would be SO appreciated.

Homesharing should work over ethernet too, ask your network provider about homesharing, it may be that the university doesn't allow it.

  • Can connect via Ethernet but not via AirPort

    I'm having some problems using my AirPort in Germany. I can connect just fine using an Ethernet cable direct from the modem (NETGEAR DG632B) but when I have plug the Ethernet cable into the AirPort I can't connect. I beleive it has to do with PPoE settings, which I am not really familiar with.
    There are three spots I can enter my account info. 1, on the modem itself via Safari; 2, on the AirPort via AirPort Admin Utility; 3, on the Mac via Network Preferences. I have input my PPoE username/password into the modem while directly connected. I would tend to think that this shoudl be it and that everywhere on the LAN side of the modem would be able to utilize that account. The NETGEAR settings page shows the ADSL port Network Type as PPPOE and the LAN port as DHCP, so I have attempted to set up my AirPort and Network prefs using DHCP. That leads to "You are not connected to the Internet. Safari can’t open the page “http://www.google.com/” because your computer isn’t connected to the Internet." Network Diagnostics shows green at AirPort, AirPort Settings, Network Settings and ISP. It initially shows yellow at Internet and Server which lead to "Failed" on both. Network Diagnostics then asks me to choose my network port configuration (Built-in Ethernet, Internal Modem, Airport,Other). I select AirPort and select my AirPort network. Then all the Status lights except for AirPort turn red and asks if I use a DSL or cable model. I select yes, it asks me to restart the device, I do, it asks if I can restart any other devices, I select no. At that point Network Diagnostics says it is unable to connect to the Internet.
    I have down-graded to Airport Firmware v5.5.1 as some have advised. No change. I'm running MacOS 10.4.6
    My AirPort is just fine as I can use it to set up a LAN with no problem. I even pulled out my old Graphite base station and tried it. Same thing.
    I have tried putting my PPPoE account info into my AirPort, my Network prefs both individually and both at the same time. Nothing. Is there something that I'm missing?

    You'll need to connect your modem to your AEBS WAN port, configure your AEBS with the Airport Admin Utility, setting up the PPOE to properly log into your modem connection.
    You should set up your mac to us DHCP (not PPOE).
    THis should allow you to use either the ethernet port or wireless from your AEBS.
    I hope this helps!

  • Photosmart 7515 connect via USB but not wireless, Device not found on Network

    Purchased a 7515 all-in-one, was able to setup wirelessly to MacPro but has lost ability to connect wirelessly.  This happened with OS X Lion and nor MountainLion.  Have a TimeMachine Airport.  Printer connects to network but during setup from MacPro, repeatedly get "Device Not Found on Network" after stepping through wireless installation setup screens.  I have reset router, printer, firmware updates, software updates.... at wits end.  I have followed the instructions on the below resource page link with no luck.  Use WPA-PSK encryption (Automatic AES or TKIP) on network and diagnostics on printer pass.
    Please help anyone!

    It sounds like the Macs and the printer just aren't communicating.
    If you press the network icon on the printer, does it indicate it is connected to the network?
    I recommend two additional steps that are not listed in the linked document.  The printing system of the Mac may need to be reset as it will clear any software that could be interfering (such as corrupted installations).
    Follow the steps as outlined for 10.7 or 10.8 in this document from HP.
    The next step is to install the driver package from Apple.  This can be found here.

  • WRT54GL connects via cable, but not wireless

    I've got a WRT54GL that I connected via the ethernet cable, but when I try to connect wirelessly it can't. I've tried EasyLink Connect and EasyLink Advisor to try and fix the connection and "unwire" it, but neither were any help. I can setup my other machines to connect wirelessly, but not the main machine that I used to setup the router intitially.

    Hi TWallace,
    Are you using cable connection (Comcast,Cox) or DSL connection (Verizon,Qwest)? Were you provided with a username and password by ISP. Since EasyLink Advisor and EasyLink Connect did not work. You would have to manually configure the router. Aside from that, make sure that when you ran either the 2 software (ELA or ELC) you do not have any firewall turned on. Firewall disrupts the connectivity of the device running the tool.
    Aside from that, when wiring your computer to the router and you've mentioned it works. Can you try to check the IP address? If XP, click Start > RUN > cmd, once command prompt pops up.. type ipconfig /all then look for IP address.
    Thanks

  • Can print to shared Canon iP4300 via Bonjour - but not with Canon driver

    I've searched the forums and therefore know roughly what the problem is, but still need some concrete info please...
    Have finally managed to share my Canon iP4300 connected to iMac (10.5.2) via USB and print to it from XP, using Bonjour for Windows. However... when I run the printer assisntent it finds the printer but only offers me the choice of a generic driver. The driver turns out to be labelled "HP Color LaserJet 4550 PS". A postscript driver?!? Well, it works, but I'd really prefer the proper Canon driver (which is already installed - I previously had the printer connected to the PC).
    Yet, when I select this driver retrospectively (from the printer-share properties dialogue), I cant print. This, if I understand correctly is because the Canon driver doesn't support Bonjour?
    So is there anything I can do? Eg. I've read about the Gimp drivers, but they're only for OSX right?
    Maybe this generic "HP" driver will be adequate (haven't printed anything properly yet) but would like to know if anybody has suggestions other than contacting Canon (which I will do anyway).
    Cheers

    I Have the same Problem as you,
    I Have the Canon MP180, and i have the driver on my windows XP Laptop
    But when i try to connect to it, using Bonjour (as the printer is connected to the mac) it uses a HP Color LaserJet 4550 PS driver even though its Canon
    Does anyone know how to use the proper driver.
    It works ok using the HP Driver, but the quality of the printouts from the windows XP laptop seem rubbish
    Many Thanks
    Alex
    P.S if you got this working, can you send me a message back.

  • I can still access my .mac email via Mail but not in iCloud

    I set up a new iCloud email address and tried to add my old .mac address (via Manage your Apple ID) and get a message saying that "email address is already verified for another Apple ID".
    I can still send and receive emails on my older .mac account via Mail, my iPad and iPhone. I just want to be able to read my .mac email in a browser if I were to lose the other devices.

    Try simply dismissing the popup by hitting cancel and then Get Mail from the account in question.

  • Iphone 4s won't turn on. broken lock button. It just randomly turned off and won't turn back on. Can't go to apple store because going on vacation. Please help

    iPhone 4ws won't turn on. I have a broken lock button. It just randmoly turned off and won't turn on. I can't go to the apple store because I'm going on vacation. Someone please help

    Your phone is broken; there's no magic solution for you.  You can try plugging it in to wall power and see if this turns the phone on, but if it doesn't, you can either go on vacation without your iPhone, or make the time to visit the Apple store before you leave.

  • Can connect via Ethernet but not on Airport

    I am able to connect fine with Ethernet. Initially when I brought up Safari it launched the modem and I had to enter my ISP username and password. Then I was able to connect fine with Ethernet. My problem is that I cannot connect with Airport. I disconnect the Ethernet from my MacBook, then I turn on Airport. It detects the wireless modem. I select it. It connects fine, but no internet. I go to the System Preferences, Network. But find nothing wrong. Am I missing something ??? Please advise.

    Hi,
    You also might want to check that the AirPort doesnt have it selected to have the IP set manually. Always have this detected by DHCP. There should'nt be any problems there, if you are using the Ethernet cable.
    Regards
    Marc

  • Can connect to router but not internet, please help!

    I was searching, but couldn't find a thread with my symptoms...please redirect me if needed.
    however, I just got a brand new dell that is running vista premium, and I put my belkin wireless card that I was using in my old pc into the new one.  found my network, applied to wep key and connected to the router without any problem...
    but I can't go online!  I never had a problem before, and I am using the same wireless card.  my signal is excellent, so what might my problem be?  I already tried rebooting the router, but no results.  I had the same problem several months ago with my wife's laptop when we first got FIOS...but for the life of me I can't remember how I fixed it.
    any suggestions?  thank you so much in advance

    It sounds like your laptop doesn't have any - or the right - IP configuration.  When you went through the network setup, did you tell it to use DHCP?
    Some things to try (note, this is for XP but I'm guessing it hasn't change *too* much for vista):
    From a command window, try typing:
    ipconfig
    It should show you your IP address and a default route (something other than zeros, probably a 192.168.x.x address).
    If you don't get a valid IP and route, try  running: ipconfig /renew
    See if you can get to the router by pinging the default gateway address (from the ipconfig command). E.g.:
      ping 192.168.0.1
    If you still have no luck, try resetting the connection via the Network Connections panel:
     Start->Control Panel
     Double click Network Connections
     Check for DHCP:
       Right click on the wireless connection and select Properties
       Click on Internet Protocol(TCP/IP) and click Properties
       Make sure that "Obtain IP address automatically" is selected.
       Click OK in both boxes.
     Right click on the wireless connection and select Repair
     If it still doesn't work, try right clicking on your wireless connection and select Disable, then again and select Enable and then Repair.

  • Time capsule USB printer works when I connect via ethernet but not over wifi

    I have a USB printer hooked up to my new Time Capsule. If I turn off my wifi and connect to the Time Capsule with an ethernet cable it works fine. When I try to do the same thing over wifi (even when I'm sitting next to it) it cant seem to make a solid connection. Most of the time it just says Printer Paused, but sometimes it will work, other times the printer just clicks, or starts but then stops. Other than that my wifi connection seeems pretty good.
    Is there something with the settings with my older "08 MacBook and the newer Time Capsule?
    Any help is very much appreciated,
    Thanks

    Very interesting one..
    Did you upgrade install ML into the MB??
    It sounds to me like it has corrupted the wireless drivers.. and I think you will need to do a clean install.
    If you have internet working over wireless I see no reason for this to happen though.

  • Can access Apple TV via airplay, but can't get to internet or iMac from Apple TV

    Can access Apple TV via airplay, but can't get to internet or iMac from Apple TV. Whenever I try to put my info in it says to try later. When I test network it says network time has not been set. It has worked previously.

    Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
    Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
    Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
    Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
    Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
    Restart your mobile device.

  • I share an Apple ID with someone but we are now on iOS8 and getting each others messages on our iphones and ipad. How can I split the account safely as well as protect icloud backed up data?

    I share an Apple ID with someone but we are now on iOS8 and getting each others messages on our iphones and ipad. How can I split the account safely as well as protect icloud backed up data?

    Use different Apple IDs for iMessage (and also FaceTime) to avoid getting each others text messages (and FaceTime calls).  One of you should go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive (and Settings>FaceTime), tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a different ID.  You can continue to shared the same ID for the iTunes store and other services.
