I just installed the Airport utility but cannot see it on my iPad.

I have looked in every folder, restarted my iPad but I cannot find it. The App store shows the app is installed.

You can do a search for it on the iPad - at least when you find it - you can set it up and use it until you locate the icon.
Swipe to the right from the home screen and the search feature appears. Type the name of the app in the text field at the top and then tap on the app icon when it shows up to launch the app.
You can connect your iPad to your computer, launch iTunes, select your iPad on the left side and then click on the apps tab and look at all of the screens on the iPad in there - maybe it is on another screen that is beyond what you can get to by swiping.
You restarted but you could also try resetting the iPad and see if the app shows up.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

I have a Power PC G4 which is running on OSX 10.5.8, it has the AirPort utility but cannot connect to the internet as my iMac can, I think I might need an AirPort Card? Is that the case or do I need something different to connect to a wireless modem?

Welcome!
Only one variant of the PowerMac G4 could use the faster Airport Extreme Card. The rest used the original Airport card that is pretty slow.
To get fast wireless without buying more than one thing, consider this:

It goes in an available PCI slot
There are USB solutions also. However, all PowerMac G4 towers had only slower USB 1.1 ports, so any USB wireless adaptor can only run at about wireless 'B" speeds (slow) unless you also install a PCI USB 2.0 adaptor card. Doing that would allow a USB wireless adaptor to run at its maximum rated speed. These items working together would accomplish that:

Each approach has its advantages. The PCI wireless card is a one-piece solution that takes up no desk space. The USB2 card+USB2 Dongle gives you more fast ports for transferring date from other external USB devices (primarily cameras and external hard drives) at hugely faster rates than can the original ports. I have a USB 2 PCI card in my G4 tower strictly for transferring images from my digital SLR camera in a timely manner.

Time Capsule 4 gen. with iMac OS X Lion 3 Windows PC (XP OS, Vista OS, Seven OS) cable modem with TC as Wi-Fi. Time Machine on iMac found TC for backup easily. Have Wi-Fi access on PC XP with Airport utility but cannot create TC.

Installed today Time Capsule 4 gen. with iMac OS X Lion. I also have 3 Windows PC (XP OS, Vista OS, Seven OS). Internet Access is cable modem with TC as Wi-Fi. Time Machine on iMac found TC for backup easily. Have Wi-Fi access on PC XP with Airport utility but cannot create TC. Does the Airport utility under Windows is way to access backup capabilities with TC ?

The TC is really just an external networked hard disk plus router.. you can access the hard disk and place files on it from any computer. You can backup any computer to the TC but it will have to use a backup software in windows.. there are literally thousands available. The built in msbackup is horrible.. but you can download lots of different software and buy then online for not a lot. Macrium Reflect has a free disk image backup, and when you pay for it includes incremental. I think disk images are well worth it, as they recover much better.. and their is a proper method of recovery using a boot cd.
BTW the TC space is not endless. And it is designed to hold a large number of incremental backups.. so anything you do in backing up several machines will make the number of backups limited. Remember you can also use a usb hard disk plugged in as a Network accessible disk. But it has to be formatted HFS+ or Fat32.. the later being highly undesirable.

HT1998 My iPAD can use the internet through my airport extreme, but the airport utility does not see it so I can't create a guest password. What am I doing wrong?

My iPAD can use the internet through my Airport Extreme, but the Airport Utility does not see the device so I can't set a guest password.

If your Mac is using the Lion operating system with recent updates, it will be necessary to download and install AirPort Utility 5.6 for Mac OS X Lion
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility 5.6
Select the AirPort Extreme and click Manual Setup
Click the Wireless tab just below the row of icons
Click the Wireless Network Options button
Remove the check mark next to Create a closed network
Click Done, then click Update to save the new settings and allow 25-30 seconds for the AirPort Extreme to restart

After I upgrade the AirPort utility, I cannot share my internet to my iPhone anymore.

I have been working on a project on final cut pro trial, just purchased the real deal, but cannot find a way of importing the project

You don't import the project.
I'm going to assume that both the trial version and purchased version were 10.1.
Open FCPX and then Open Library>Other, Navigate to wherever you stored the library (ies) you worked on when you used the trial. Choose that library and your work should be in one or more events in it.

Downloaded Mt Lion Yesterday and my Tool bar has disappeared. I can still access the individual tools but cannot see my header. I used 'help' and did what it suggested. slected 'hide tool bar' and then 'show toolbar'. I also restarted etc.

Good point BDAqua, the Escape key helps get me back to reality in Lion.
While I've only dabbled around a little in Lion since it's release (I upgraded a 10.6 Clone to Lion on one of my FireWire Drives) now I'm currently downloading Mountain Lion (to upgrade a Clone of that Lion Clone) so that now I can continue to move forward in madness.
P.S. Trust me, I'm not laughing.

HT201317 I have placed photos in my Photo Stream on my Vista PC, but cannot see them on my iPad or iMac - all set up has been done on each device. Help!

I have placed photos in my Photo Stream on my Vista PC, but cannot see them on my iPad or iMac - all set up has been done on each device. Help!

Are you putting the photos in the Uploads folder on your PC.

Since I upgraded to Lion 10.7.2, my external HD is no longer visible in AirPort utility (in the AirPort disks tab). I also installed the AirPort utility for iOS5, it reported a disk problem, but running Disk Utility on the Mac showed no issues. Help!

To expand on the question, I have performed the following steps:
1 - Unplugged external drive (1TB WD MyBook) from the Time Capsule
2 - Reconnected it. At this point, AirPort utility for iOS5 reported a problem with the disk (Time Capsule light was blinking Orange)
3 - Unplugged external drive, connected it to MacBook Pro, ran Disk Utility. It found no problems (disk visible straight away on the MacBook Pro).
4 - Reconnected to Time Capsule - still doesn't show up under the "Disks" option under Air Port utility. Or rather, the hardware is visible (i.e the physical disk) but not the volume.
5 - I tried another external hard drive, and the volume also doesn't appear in the Disk section under the AirPort utility.
The WD disk is formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
This is a big problem for me, as the drive houses my iTunes library.
Anyone else had a similar problem? It all worked flawlessly until last week.

I love computers.
Have managed to fix this already. Been working the issue for a few days now, and a few minutes after writing the above post I decided to reset the Time Capsule to factory default settings.
After entering all my details again (used same network names, passwords etc) the Time Capsule was rebooted. When it came back on line - guess what? Yep, the MyBook WD drive is now visibile. I can connect via the network from my other machines to the drive, and iTunes is back.
So - thought I would post my resolution in case it helps others.

My airport extreme doesn't show up in the airport utility but my sister's does. How do I get mine to show up?

I just bought an Airport Extreme and so did my sister who lives upstairs. She setup first and now when I try to setup mine only hers shows up in the Airport Utility. I've tried numerous times but the utility can not find my base. I've reset it too and nothing. What can I do?

Are you trying to set up yours through the iPad or computer (Mac/ PC)?
If you are setting up yours through iPad for the first time, first connect the internet cable to your WAN (if you are using DSL) or through your router if you are using a modem.
once all cables are attached (internet and power) power up your Airport extreme (give it few minutes to load) then go to setting on your iPad and click on Wi-Fi, you should see wireless network names (in case there are any near by) and below them you should see an airport extreme device with random number (the device number before setup) click on it and follow the steps to set up your airport extreme for the first time, once you are done, the device will restart and it will appear as a wireless network under wireless network names in settings (no longer as an airport extreme device since it is already been setup)
After you have done this, now you can open your airport utility app and you will be able to see your airport extreme there.
You may be asked for an administrator password to access the device if you already setup that during the process)
Note that, in order for any iPad to control Airport extreme via airport utility (if the airport extreme is already configured), the iPad must be configured to same Wi-Fi of the airport extreme (your device must be registered and connected through the same wireless network).
note that is you later wish to control your device from a PC, Mac or any IOS device, make sure to log and join your WiFi first, and then open airport utility and you will see it listed there.
Hope this works for you.

I have 2 airport express base stations that I am trying to use to extend my wifi. I have windows 7 and downloaded the airport utility but it wont pick up my airport express. Does anyone know what im doing wrong and how to get them to work?

I have 2 Airport Base stations that I am trying to use to extend my WiFi but I cant get them to work. I downloade Airport Utility to windows 7 and it doesnt recognize any devices. I have them plugged in and they have a solid yellow light. Does anyone know what I need to do to get them to work. Your help would be appreciated.

Thanks for providing the model information.
I would recommend that you start by performing a "factory default" reset on all of your AirPort base stations. Once completed power them all down. While powered-down, temporarily connect both Express base stations to an open LAN port on the Extreme using separate Ethernet cables.
Once connected, power up the Extreme; wait five minutes, and then, power up each of the Express base stations. Which you power-up first doesn't matter.
Now start up the AirPort Utility on the PC. It should now "see" all three base stations. If so, go ahead and configure your extended network.
Please post back your results.

Renamed Airport Express with the Airport utility, but iTunes shows old name

I renamed my two Airport Expresses using the Airport Express utility because I have moved them in the house and the old names don't make sense anymore. In the AirPort Express utility, I can see the new names. However, iTunes (and Apple Remote on the iPhone) do not recognize these new names, they are still showing the old names. How can I get these devices to recognize the new names?

Actually I have solved my own problem. I hadn't realized that the Airport Utility has essentially two names for each Airport. There is the name of the device as the Airport Utility sees it, and then a different name called the iTunes Speaker name (look under manual setup in the Music area). This latter is the name that appears in iTunes. As soon as I changed this, iTunes recognized the new name.

New install Express on Win 8 can see the Server name but cannot see the instance

I am doing this over the phone with a client who is not sure what he is doing we have installed Ok the folders exist and we have enabled TCP/IP
The instance is MSSQLServer when we try to connect all we get is 'ComputerName' I am expecting 'ComputerName \MSSQLServer'
The user does not have administrator rights and he installed SQL Server without the administrator (I think, I am not sure he knows)
I am looking for clues as to what may cause the instance name to not appear
thanks in advance
jnc

Thanks, that is useful but the list of instances just matches the details in SQL Configuration manager
What I need is to understand why, if the server is listed and is running it is not visible when we try to connect
jnc
Hi jnc,
Could you please verify that if the instance name is not listed in “Server name” drop-down list of SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS)? If so, does the instance list in the Local Servers tab in the “Browse for Servers” dialog?
If you cannot see the express instance in the Local Servers tab in the “Browse for Servers” dialog, the reason may due to SQL Server cannot get the appropriate registry entry information in the System Registry (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft
SQL Server\Instance Names).
To work around this issue, you can manually input the instance name which will be show in the Local Servers tab. Also make sure that right click on SSMS and then choose “Run As Administrator” to start it.
However, if the express instance is listed in the Local Servers tab in the “Browse for Servers” dialog, but not in the “Server name” drop-down list. Then if you have never connected with the instance name before, its entry will not listed in the drop-downlist.
Or if you have connected to server with a wrong instance name, you cannot see its entry the next time.
Thanks,
Lydia Zhang

HP P1102w connected to the Airport Extreme but cannot print, always offline

OS : WIndows 7
Router : Airport Extreme
When I was using a linksys router, setting up the printer was a piece of cake, but when we move to Airport Extreme the only computer that works is the MAC book pro and the rest of the Windows Base OS doesnt work properly, esp. on a wireless setup.
I'v installed bonjour on my system and still nothing works.
I've check most of the forum with out any viable solution for this issue.
Whatever hel you can provide me with will be highly appreciated.
kind regards,

Hi @shanwein ,
I see that you are having issues with the printer working over the wireless network with the new Airport Extreme on the Windows computers, but the Mac is working. I would like to help you out with this issue today.
Just to clarify, you are networking the printer, you don't have the USB cable connected from the printer to the Airport?
Print out a configuration report and make sure the SSID and IPv4 of the printer.
Printing a Configuration Page.
If you have a valid IP address for the printer then try and access the Embedded Web Server for the printer.
Type the IP address into your web browser's address bar. (Internet Explorer)
If it loads the printer's network page then the printer is on the network.
You might need to power cycle the router, computer and printer if it doesn't load on the Windows computers.
Run the add printer wizard from Devices and Printers, click on add a printer.
Test the printer.
Please provide in detail the results if you are still having issues.
Have a great day!
Thank You.

The computer sees the airport signal but cannot connect to the internet

I have a imac g5 connected wirelessly to my base station & an airport express. The mac part connects to the internet using the network without any problem. My problem is that the pc portion (using Windows XP) of my imac will not connect to the internet using the wireless network. It shows a strong signal but no connectivity. One of the comments that comes up is that the network didn't assign a network address to the computer (I assume the PC portion). Any thoughts how I can get my computer to connect to the wireless network from the PC portion of my mac.
many thanks.

Make sure your Firewall settings are correct. I'm going to share some of my settings in the PC area (please bear in mind that these IP addresses could differ from system to system)
My Windows Firewall is DISABLED. You could do the same temporary and see if it works. I use Zone Alarm Pro Firewall. Make sure in my Control Panel ==> Network connection status, your device shows Airport Express wireless device or router.
Depending in your Internet service provider and geographical zone the IP address could be different.
Example:
Zone Alarm Windows settings:
TRUSTED ZONES ==> Loopback Adapter 127.0.0.0.1
PC IP address 192.169.1.3 (example)
Gateway 192.169.1.254
DHCP Server 10.0.1.1
DNS 10.0.0.1
IN AIPORT EXTREME SETTINGS ( Make sure you are in your Imac side or Mac Os)
Id 192.169.1.5
Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
Router 192.169.1.254
Connection Automatic
Ethernet ==> Automatically (through Airport Utility)

I just installed the Airport utility but cannot see it on my iPad.
