IMac can see my Macbook Air but not my Macbook

Recently upgraded iMac and Macbook to 10.5.8, Macbook Air running 10.5.7
Both laptops connected to iMac via Netgear wireless router.
All was fine until yesterday.
Now my iMac can't see the Macbook but can see the Macbook Air when I go to Finder/Network on the iMac.
Curiously, the Macbook and the Macbook Air can both see the iMac when I go to Finder/Network on the two laptops.
Have unplugged the wireless router from the mains for five mins to reboot it.
Can confirm that Security/Firewall on the Macbook is set to "Allow All Incoming Connections"
Anyone any suggestions???

Slow Printing after upgrade on Macbook Air but NOT no Macbook

After installing the newest firmware on my AEBS, my Macbook Air prints to my USB connected printer very slowly. If it's a page with just text, it will print with-in 10-15 seconds. However, when it has images, it will take 1-2 minutes before it starts to print. (Note that nothing else is on the network at the time.)
However, my Macbook (non-Air) has no trouble printing images and functions just like it did before the newest firmware.
I've reinstalled the driver on my Macbook Air but that didn't do anything. Hooking up the Macbook Air directly to the printer gives me speedy printing. I can't figure out what settings on my Macbook Air is making this delay happen. Any thoughts?

... I solved the problem. Deleted the partition using the utility that comes up when booting while holding down <cmd> and <R>.
made a new partition.
then --- all in the utility that came up during booting with cmd-r ---- restored my HD up from my the TimeMachine external HD.
when all was done the MountainLion update continued as nothing had happened. Even the 2GB OS download was restored. :-)
before letting him continue I deactivated FileVault, reset passwords to less complicated ones that would work with any keyboard layout and activated automatic login. All this did the trick. Now I am happily dictating away in Pages (THIS was my true reason to update to Mountain Lion.... as well as my addiction to new apple stuff ;-)

Ipod nano, I can see it in windows but not itunes, Tried EVERYTHING!

Please help.
Starting a few weeks ago my six month old ipod stopped being 'seen' by itunes. I can see it on explorer no problem. I have followed all the steps in the support pages, apart from re-installing windows.
However I have found it doesn't work on my main computer of either of my two laptops, which makes me thinks its an ipod problem NOT a computer/windows problem.
I have a shuffle which is working fine on itunes on the same computers.
The only thing I cannot do is restore the nano - because you need an itunes connection to do this.
Can anyone help please?
Ipod Nano. Windows XP itunes 7.02.16

At least I'm not alone in this problem...
I'm in the same boat. My Nano did work with iTunes 7 for a while. The only glitch was that it couldn't update the iPod's software. Since it stopped appearing in iTunes a few weeks ago I've tried everything I can think of (except sending it away) to fix the problem (restart/reset, reinstall iTunes (6 & 7), check services, format comp., change drive letter, etc...). It won't appear in iTunes on other computers either. Further I've run the iPod diagnostics and everything gets a green light. Hardware, software, me? I haven't a clue as to what the problem is. Argh.
I like the music on my iPod but it would be nice if I could listen to something different! I'll have a chance to stop by the store it came from soon but in the mean time...does anybody out there have ideas?

Can see VCR in viewfinder but not in imovies

Hi,
I am trying to convert old footage from my vcr thru sony dcr96e into imovies. when i play the vcr i can see footage in my camcorders viefinder but not in the imovies screen. it does say ' camera connected ' in imovies so its definately recognised. i pressed import to see what would happen and it took just a snapshot of footage like a photo.
thanks

Hia there!
Anoying isnt it? Your on the right track, but sometimes you need to have a tape in the videocorder. (a blank1 as you dont want to risk anything)
then you need to sweettalk the import button press and HOLD til u see the numbers moving on imovie screen ...
You may need to try several times I guess your teaching the pc to see somehow
(its blind) ?

Good day to you and thanks for this prompt response. Are you referring to a music app on an iphone? I have problems with an ipod.
Hope I'm not showing off my ignorance here.

After disconnecting ipod from pc it shows no music and no podcasts. I have tried more than 1 usb port on my pc. I have restarted my ipod. I have restarted my pc. I have again reloaded my ipod software. No change in the result. sync appears to work. itunes shows the content on its window of the ipod but no content on the ipod itself.

Can see ATV on Mac but not XP

Hi I wonder if anyone could please help. I can see and have set up my ATV on my wireless network to sync with my Mac mini and its working with no problems. I would like to stream content from two PC's running XP that are on the network but no matter what I try I cant get the ATV to show up in iTunes. I have tried on 3 different PC's with no luck, I have tryed most of the suggestions that I could find from searching (firewall off, turn syncing on and off on ATV, reset ATV and router, reboot PC). I would be very grateful of any suggestions. Thanks in advance

When you set up for streaming content on XP computer did you request to connect to new itunes and receive a new password number. Once you receive this number Apple TV will show up briefly for you in the device list in itunes to enter the new password. Once you have entered this number Apple TV will disappear from the device list in itunes, but will appear in apple TV enabling you to stream content from your XP machine. Did you go through this procedure?

Help: I can see playlist in cpu, but not on ipod

Hi:
1. I have a bunch of playlists on my ipod touch (current iOS) but just recently developed a problem where I can see / listen to a specific playlist via my cpu but I can't see that specific playlist on my ipod touch (even though I can see / listen to all of the other playlists on my ipod touch). Furthermore, when I hook up the ipod touch in my car, I can scroll to that playlist and listen to it as well.
2. Any solutions to this problem?
Thanks in advance for any advice. Harry

Never mind...I think I just figured it out. I have a 300 GB hard drive with a volume label of "300GB" mapped as a network drive to E: on my laptop. I was just looking through other threads and I think my laptop is getting confused between the ipod and this network drive...I'll just map it to a different letter and see if that fixes it.

To MacBook Air or not to MacBook Air - PC Work Question

Aloha,
I am debating on buying a MacBook Air. I currently have an iMac at home and I love Apple products.
I need to purchase a laptop that runs XP, due to work.
Does the MacBook Air have enough power to do this well? As I will not only have to use XP, but I will have to remote log-in to my computer at work as well.
I am debating on getting a MacBook Air or a MacBook Pro...
Any MacBook Air users who run XP?
Any advise is much appreciated.
Mahalo nui loa!

While the MacBook Air has improved with the second iteration, it still has performance issues. The standard MBA uses a 4200 RPM hard drive, and that will effect performance no matter what OS is being run, virtualized or not. A $500 upgrade to the low-end MBA, or purchasing the high-end model, will mitigate this with a solid-state drive. However, the SSD in the MBA is not one of the new, faster SSDs, like the Intel X-25M. The SSD option on the MBA is seriously overpriced for the performance benefit. Even if you do upgrade the hard drive, the MBA is limited to 2 GB RAM, no upgrade being possible as the RAM is soldered onto the main board. If you plan on running Windows XP virtualized, allocating RAM will be an issue. As an example, VMware specifically recommends setting the preferences of Fusion to favor OS X on the MBA.
For running Windows virtualized, which avoids the need to reboot when switching between OS X and XP, I believe the best price/performance solution is a MacBook with 4GB RAM and an Intel X-25M SSD. I would point out that the MacBook's display has been criticized for glare issues though. If money and/or weight are not issues, the MacBook Pro with 4GB RAM or more, fast SSD or not, is the best choice.

Airport Express Printer Works with Macbook Pro, but not on Macbook

We have two Macs -- a Macbook Pro, and a Macbook. Both are connected to an Airport Express, and can access the internet and control Airtunes without any issue. However, only the Macbook Pro can print to the Aiport Express connected printer -- a Canon ip3500.
When I go to system preferences to add the printer on the Macbook, the printer is available, and it allows me to add it. However, the location of the printer and the driver( or at least the driver number) are different, even though it is pre-populated by the computer itself.
Once the printer shows as being installed, I can print to that printer, but the job is automatically "Stopped" in the status. I cannot restart the job, it just stalls out.
When the printer is connected via USB, the Macbook can print to it without issue. It can also print to it via bonjour if I share the printer from the Macbook Pro.
Anyone else having similar issues? Any suggestions on how to fix it would be greatly appreciated.

Try creating a new location in the network settings. Then select Network port configurations and drag Airport to the top of the list. Uncheck any unused connection types such as built-in modem and Bluetooth.

IMac can see Mini's network, but Mini can't see iMac's network

Hi every nice person in there that have certainly helped a lot of pepople!
What is happening to me is when...
1.On each computer (Mini and iMac), I Open and login
2.On each computer, I Activate airport in the top-menu-bar
3.On the iMac, in Airport in top-menu-bar I Create a new Network - Name, Auto, Options WEP with working password, OK
4.On the Mini, in airport in top-menu-bar I Select the created Network and enter the WEP password
5.On the Mini, if I rapidly go to "Network", whom it's over "Mackintosh HD" in the sidebar of a Finder's window, I see two File flashing one time:
"My Network" and
"WORKGROUP".
But, when the Mini Create a network, it works perfectly.
Can you help?
iMac G5 and Mac Mini Mac OS X (10.4.6)

In order for a computer to show up in that network window, Personal File Sharing must be turned on the Network preferences (System Prefs > Network >Services). Once Personal File Sharing is turned on for both computers, give it a minute and they should both show up fine.
Good luck,
Jason
