I cannot get my Air to connect to internet through my Mac-Pro (2013).

I have a router in the house which provides WiFi and I can connect my MacBook air to the internet in the house, no problems.
I also have a shed at the bottom of the garden where my Mac-Pro (2013) lives. The Mac-Pro is connected by a cable to the router in the house; this works well. But this too far from the house for Wi-Fi to work from the router to the Air. So I have set up the Mac_Pro to share its internet connection and given the network name and password, etc.
But the Mac Air cannot see this network and reports "No network found".
How can I establish that the Mac Pro has indeed set up its Wi-Fi network?

Thanks for your concern.
Yes, I had found that article too. I have repeated my actions precisely to those instructions several times and all produce the same result on the Air: "No network found". Yet the Air can find the network in the house with no trouble.
Usually these error messages are correct and the problem then is finding how they are true. So this was why I asked 'How can I establish that the Mac Pro has indeed set up its Wi-Fi network?' The article provides no answer to this question.
Can anyone answer my question or assist in other ways?
regards,
Tim

I have an Airport Express that works fine but cannot get the audio to connect or play through my Samsung AV-R370 receiver. I

I bought a 3.5 mm to 3.5 mm connecting cable to connect the Express to some outlet on the receiver back but am unsure which one to connect to. They have a combination of coaxial and optical plugs, nothing looks like a 3.5mm jack. I also bought a 3.5mm stereo Y-adapter cable to connect the Express to whatever coaxial jack on the back of the receiver. I tried all but could not get a sound out of the system. I checked with earbuds to see if music was coming out my Iphone 4s through the express and it does so obviously it is a connection or setting issue. Everything works WIFi, but want music to stream through my Samsung system which includes TV,AV receiver and BluRay player.
Any help would be appreciated as I am new to this.

You basically have two choices: 1) Find the best physical placement of the AirPort Express to support multiple locations, or 2) Get another Express to extend the wireless range of the first one.

Halfway through the OS X Yosemite update it says I am not connected to the internet (when I know I am because I can search through the app store). How can I fix this? I cannot get on Safari because it requires an update to Mac OS X 10.9 or later.

Halfway through the OS X Yosemite update it says I am not connected to the internet (when I know I am because I can search through the app store). How can I fix this? I cannot get on Safari because it requires an update to Mac OS X 10.9 or later.

Just to be clear. You have downloaded the Yosemite installer. However you say while it's updating you get the error you are not online. This is confusing since you shouldn't be able to use your computer in the process of updating.
Exactly where do you see you need to 10.9 to get on Safari?

I have been receiving the message ' Cannot get mail. The connection to the server failed' but I am connected to WIFI

I have been receiving the message ' Cannot get mail. The connection to the server failed' but I am connected to WIFI. I have also been receiving 'Cannot send mail, an error occurred while delivering this message.

Hmm, that's odd JeanEB. The error message referts to the connection to your email server not to cellular data or connection to wi-fi. Go to Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars> Select your account and type in your password again. If this doesn't resolve it, delete/re-add the email account.

HT2480 Ipad mini - exchange email stopped working randomly Error: "Cannot get mail. The connection to the server failed."

I got an iPad mini over Christmas and have had no issues setting up/managing my email until yesterday. I've had my Exchange email working for almost a month, and yesterday I stopped getting emails and getting the error: "Cannot Get Mail. The connection to the server failed."
I tried resetting the device (multiple times) and deleting and recreating the Exchange account (multiple times). This is getting annoying because it worked fine up until yesterday. I'm not aware of any updates to the device, or any changes that have occurred since yesterday.

Due to a screen issue, I had my iPhone 5 replaced two days ago. I repeated deleted the mail account and kept adding it but this did not make any difference. When I attempted to setup the new phone with my Google (Gmail via exchange active sync) accounts I was receiving this same "Cannot Get Mail" error. From what I was able to gather, this problem should be affecting Gmail accounts set up via Exchange. When originally purchasing the phone I was assisted and directed to set up my Gmail account through Exchange because it had the ability to use "ActiveSync" and push not only mail and calendars, but all of my contacts as well. I found this article regarding the subject.
http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2413283,00.asp
What it came down to was having to delete my Gmail via Exchange account and separate it into two different accounts, a regular gmail account for my mail and a CardDAV account for my contacts.
Here is what I did. Google is changing their system and for new registrars Exchange ActiveSync will not work so you will be unable to register your account via Exchange and have your mail, calenders, and contacts all pushed together. I find this change really annoying. If you are having problems accessing your contacts after deleting the mail account, like I was, here is the work around.
To circumvent this issue go to Setting > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Add Account > Other > Add CardDAV Account: Under server ender google.com, then your email user name and password, then click next to verify the information.
I hope this helps.

Hi all, I finally solved the issue. Here I wish to share with you all. First, I delete my hotmail account from mail account. Secondly I reboot my ipad2 with holding sleep and home button at once untill the apple logo is appeared. Then I add back the hotmail account. Done. Hope it helps. Thank you.

On my Iphone 5 it says cannot get mail. The connection to the server failed.'Please advise how to fix

If it is new phone, your password may not have transferred. Go to Settings - Mail and click on acct you are having issues with - where it says account click and reset your password. It should work from there. I had the same issue

Yahoo Cannot Get Mail. The connection to the server failed

iPhone 4s with latest version of iOS.
A few days ago my Yahoo Mail stopped connecting, and I started seeing the above noted error message (Cannot Get Mail. The connection to the server failed.) While it won't retrieve messages, it will let me send. So at least SMTP seems to be working OK.
I've tried deleting it and adding it back, but to no avail. I've rebooted the phone. I've and any combination of options found on these boards. Yet, the problem persists. Anyone experience something like this before? If so, any fix for it?

I contacted Yahoo. Gave them all the information. They acknowledged that they are having an issue and that they are working to resolve it.
One temporary measure that does work with the Mail App. Add the Yahoo account manually. In other words, click on Other (at the bottom of the list) instead of Yahoo when adding your account, and use these settings.
