Itunes and airport utility will not recognize AE despite status green

I am trying to onfigure my vista pc and airport extreme base station to stream music wirelessly via an AE. I have read the posts and with AE connected via an ethernet connection it shows up in itunes under my computer tab and everything is ok. However when I disconnect the ethernet cordm the status light on both the AE and airport extreme (when I plug it back into my only eternet connection) both show green, yet neither itunes nor airport utility will recognize the AE. Also tried using windows network tab to add the AE as a wireless device but it also does not find it.Can anyone help me further with this? Very frustrating

For your express to show up in your globe-view thingy....  you need to either select the network that the express is broadcasting from the wifi drop-down.... or select the network that it is a part of.

  • HT1449 I've transferred my itunes library from PC to Macbook pro running latest itunes and now it will not recognize my iPods (nano 4 and 5th Gen an Ipod touch).  All music is there and playable but will not recognize any devices

    I've transferred my itunes library from PC to Macbook pro running latest itunes and now it will not recognize my iPods (nano 4 and 5th Gen an Ipod touch).  All music is there and playable but will not recognize any devices. Help please

    The ipod is not a backup/storage device.
    You need to copy everything from your old computer to your new one.
    The Apple store will do this for you,  you can call apple support and they will help you, you can use google.

  • Downloaded new iTunes and now it will not recognize my iPhone or iPad

    I just installed the latest version of iTunes yesterday. Now it will not recognize neither my iPhone nor my iPad.  Is there a fix coming for this??  I can see from the comments that numerous other folks are having the exact same issue.

    Going to venture a guess your Apple Mobile Device service isn't started.

  • My MacBook Pro's  airport Utility will not recognize my new time capsule.

    My name is Sam. I am not very computer savvy, but I am trying everything I can to get this time capsule to work. I have a MacBook Pro that has been getting the internet via a DSL connection. I am using a Versa Express VER170P dsl modem. I do NOT get wireless internet with this router. I bought the time capsule based on advice that I would be able to use it to get internet wirelessly in my condo. I have plugged the printer into the usb port, I have plugged my internet cord into the WAN slot and plugged the power cord into the wall. The TC shows the green light, but my Airport utility just scans indefinitely never finding it. Can anyone help? If so, please use basic terms. =)
    Thanks,
    Sam

    Hi and welcome to the discussions.
    The green light is a good sign so far.
    Try connecting an ethernet cable from one of the LAN ports (there are 3 of them)on your Time Capsule directly to your MacBook Pro and then see if this helps AirPort Utility locate your Time Capsule to you can configure it.
    If no luck, try shutting down your system and restarting. Modem first for a few minutes, then Time Capsule until you have the green light, then your computer.
    Once you have the Time Capsule configured, and you are ready to make your first backup, keep the ethernet connection to Time Capsule as there is a lot of data to be copied and it will go faster and more reliably with this connection. Subsequent backups will normally be much smaller and quicker, so you could use wireless for these if your prefer.

  • Itunes and Apple computer will not recognize ipod nano. What do I do?

    I have an ipod nano that I bought last year. It has worked fine. Over the last couple weeks, although charging, my computer will not show it in itunes nor recognize it in the finder. I tried placing my usb cord with my Nano on my girlfriends computer and it showed up there but will still not show up on mine. Any answers?

    Hmm.. I just checked again trying to put my Nano onto my girlfriends G5. It actually doesn't always show up. At first it didn't and then as I fiddled around with the setting (not changing anything generally) it came on. Hmm.... And then before I could look at it in itunes it went off. Said "Device Removal blah blah blah". Hmm... Then I couldn't get it on again. itunes actually wasn't responding and the ball kept spinning. Then I restarted itunes but it wouldn't come on. I tried the finder but that began to spin too and didn't stop. Even iCal wouldn't come on. So I restarted the computer.

  • I just updated to the newest version of iTunes and now it will not recognize my iPad in order to sync.  Any suggestions?

    I now have the newest version of iTunes.  My iPad is up-to-date as well.  When I plug in the USB to my computer, it makes the proper sound, but I do not see the device identified in iTunes and therefore cannot sync it.  Instead, it opens to the file location for my iPad.  How do I connect iTunes to my iPad?  It was working perfectly before I updated iTunes.

  • ITunes 11.1.4 will not recognize iPhone, iPad after Dell BIOS update

    I suspect the problems everyone is having are related to the BIOS.  I am running a Dell XPS i7-3770 CPU @ 3.40 GHz 3.4 GHz with 24 GB RAM, 64 bit OS x64 based processor.  OS is Windows 8.1
    I just updated my BIOS as suggested by Dell.  Now iTunes 11.1.4 will not recognize my iPhone or iPad.
    My computer accesses the iPhone or iPad, but iTunes does not recognize them.
    This was not a problem prior to updating BIOS.
    Is there a fix or patch?
    I have to sync my devices for work.
    Please no baby-steps replies.  Have tried everything including removing devices from device manager and reconnecting to force driver update and try to force iTunes recognition.  None of that works.
    Thanks!

    Here is the fix from Waldo-E3 elsewhere in this forum.
    Like I said, no baby steps answers please!
    Kudos to Waldo-E3!
      RESOLVED...
    Found these steps posted elsewhere by another and the solution worked for me...
    1. Go to Windows 8.1 Control Panel. 
    2. Go to Hardware and Sound; Devices and Printers; Unspecified (look for Apple Mobile Device USB Driver) 
    3. Right-click, then select properties on the menu list. 
    4. Select the "Hardware" tab at the top  When the properties dialog box opens, once more select properties on the lower right hand button. 
    5. Under the "Driver" tab menu, the update driver button will be grey and unselectable here. So you need to select and click "Change Settings" button located near the lower left corner. 
    6. Now you can click the "Driver" tab menu near the top, so you can see the "Update Driver" button. 
    7. Select "Update Driver". 
    8. Select and click "Browse my computer for driver software". 
    9. For Windows 8.1 64 bit, it should be located in the folder: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers.   
    10. Click Next, and let the driver re-install. 
    11. iTunes  11.1.4.62 should open automatically if your iphone is connected already

  • I am trying to hook my macbook pro to a sony bravia TV via DVI to HDMI cable and the TV will not recognize the signal. The same set up has worked with three other, though different televisions. Any thoughts?

    I am trying to hook my MacBook Pro to a Sony Bravia TV via DVI to HDMI cable and the TV will not recognize the signal. I have used the same setup with three other TV's, each a different brand with no problem. Any ideas?

    Is the TV set to take input from the HDMI connection?
    On your computer, if you open the Displays preferences and do not see an Arrangement tab (or there is an Arrangement tab that shows only a single monitor) then there is something physically wrong with your connection.  Try clicking Detect Displays just to see if the computer can now sense the presence of the connection.  Check your connections.
    If you do have an Arrangement tab, and it shows two screens, then click Gather Windows to bring the TV's Displays preferences on to your main screen if the TV is not yet showing an image.  Set the proper resolution (probably 720p, 1080i, or 1080p).  Set the refresh rate (probably 60Hz) if that preference is shown.  You should see a picture at this point.  I  recommend turning off mirrored displays if it is enabled.

    Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service.
    Pictures taken with the device are designed to regularly be copied off the device to a computer as would be done with any digital camera.
    If you have failed to use the device as designed it may be too late to recovery anything.
    Is the device regularly backed up to a computer via iTunes?  If so, the most recent backup (when restored to a replacement iOS device) should contain all contacts and pictures as of when the backup was created.

    Perhaps the reason that your username and password are not recognised is because you have caps lock on.
