Mac and PC connectivity

We bought the TimeCapsule this afternoon to replace our aging router. I was immediately able to connect with my MacBook Pro, but our PC based computers are not connecting at all, even after lengthy discussions with Apple Support. We have an Linksys 802.11g card in one computer, and a Dell 802.11g adapter in the other. One computer does not even see the new network, and the other sees, lets me type in the passkey, but is not able to make a connection. Has anyone else had difficulty with this, and how was the problem resolved?

We have temporarily attached our old router to the Time Capsule, but I am still trying to solve the connectivity problem so that we can dispose of the old router. I read in another thread that someone was able to download a utility from Apple to their PC that allowed for connectivity between the TimeCapsule and the PC wireless adapter, but I have not been able to find the utility. I have also contacted Linksys and Dell to no avail. If anyone has any more ideas about settings, I would gladly try anything.

    I would honestly try this. It is how to restore your phone and see if it works.

  • Mac and nas connected to router via ethernet

    Hi,
    I have movies and music stored on my nas which is hooked up to itunes on my mac over wifi. This all works quite nicely but when I want to watch movies the wifi connection just isn't quick enough so the movie doesn't play properly. I have connected the nas directly to my mac and this way it works perfectly, but I want my nas plugged into my router and also my mac plugged into the router so I haven't got to keep plugging and unplugging cable in and out of nas.
    I assumed that if both the mac and the nas are plugged into the router then they would be on the same network so then i should be able to access the nas data via the cable rather than the wifi solving the issue however this encounters problems and doesn't enable me to connect to the internet.
    Any ideas?

    Hi, thanks for coming back to me. I certainly haven't installed any security onto my mac, does it have anything built in that could be blocking it? Regarding the firewall; am I right in saying that this would be built into the router and if so should I be able to adjust it through the admin pages?
    Thanks again

  • BE 3000 with Jabber (for Mac) and webex connect integration problems

    Hi,
    This is my first question on the forum so please be gentle!
    I have a customer who has a Business Edition 3000 and they have purchased WebEx connect and Jabber integration to go with it.
    My problem is I am having difficulty getting the setup to work and I have a number of questions on how to set this up.  Most of the docs on Cisco's website seem to be related to either CUCME or full CUCM, but not a lot on BE 3000.  My questions are below:
    1.  I have been reading the documentation for WebEx connect and it states to set the IP address of the BE 3000 server in the Configuration>Additional Services>Unified Communications>Voicemail tab.  This is currently on the network with a 192.168.x.x address however.  My predecessor put this IP address in the WebEx configuration page but I'm not sure this will work with a private IP as I don't know how this communicates back.  The documentation isn't very clear on this.  Does this have to be a public IP address / FQDN for it to work?
    2.  Are there any SRNDs for this type of setup that could help?  Again, looking through the website hasn't turned anything up yet.
    Note: 
    we are using the following software:
    Jabber for MAC:
    uc-client-mac-8.6.7.20127.fcs.zip
    MAC OS:
    OSX 10.8.3
    BE 3000:
    MCS7890C1-BE8
    8.6.4.10000-15.
    Thanks in advance for any help.
    Regards,
    Jason

    Hi - I have done this via the admin portal but still cannot get the Jabber client for Mac to register for voice.  The Windows version works fine for the same user and CUCM device.   Are there any other settings that need to be enabled specific to the Mac client?
    Thanks.

  • InDesign CS6 (Mac) and network connections

    Of all the Mac apps I've used over the years, why is InDesign the only application that can't make it through a network connection issue without crashing?
    For example, when I switch from Wifi to Ethernet, it crashes; even Microsoft apps can handle the change, and that's saying a lot.
    Is there anything I should be looking at to try and remedy this situation? (Hint: Telling me that the solution is to quit InDesign before changing my connection is not a solution.)

    Ask in the ID forum.

  • Intel mac and internet connection

    is there anybody else out there who's having problems with connection to the net with there Imac intel? uk preferred:)

    Hi
    USB dont work well with macs as you need a driver which get broken everytime the OS gets updated.
    Get yourself a ethernet modem/router like a Netgear DG834 http://www.dsl-warehouse.co.uk/product.asp?pr=DG834 or if you need wireless a DG834G http://www.dsl-warehouse.co.uk/product.asp?pr=DG834G no drivers no future problems.
    Also its not Apple's fault that speedtouch make driver's that dont work.

  • Moving iTunes library from PC to Mac and running through an external HD?

    I recently made the switch from a PC to my beautiful Macbook pro and I'm having some issues with my external hard drive. For the past few years I've been running my large iTunes library through an external hard drive, even switching hard drives and everything's worked perfectly. However I can't work out if it's possible or how to load the same library on my mac, I've just tried to open the library file but it says it is locked.
    I feel I am missing a vital step... I'm just not sure what it is! Any help would be fantastic, losing my playlists and play counts after so long is just not an option!
    I'm not sure if this is relevant, but the external hard drive is also ridiculously slow on the mac.

    No I am not sure about those two but am sure about Ethernet.
    i'm not even certain a direct ethernet connection works - @ least not without some deeper knowledge of networking Macs and PCs.
    connected by ethernet cable to the same network, on the other hand, will work.
    I have been working with a large library on external drives myself and have run into numerous challenges with file format conversion, album artwork, import & export... etc.
    i keep my library on a 2 TB external firewire drive and it works rather well. what kind of challenges do you mean ?
    I am wondering if there is a way for him to use his PC library on the Mac and preserve all the information that is so valuable.
    the reads i linked above may be helpful.
    That is why I suggested the FAT 32 partition as I know it works on both.
    true, but FAT32 has a +4 GB-per-file+ limit. a HD movie can easily exceed that limit and thus won't be copied. instead, one could format the drive for Mac and install MacDrive on the PC. or, format the drive NTFS and install the _*NTFS 3G*_ driver on the Mac.

  • How come a USB will work with both Mac and Windows (as in that there are already files from Windows and Mac can still read and write onto it) but a external Hard Drive won't (as in there are files from Windows on there but Mac can read but not write)?

    I have a Seagate Drive that I'm hoping to copy some movies from my Mac onto (because it only has a 512 SSD and I'd rather keep that empty and handy for more readily needed files) but it won't work. It shows up as a drive when connected (with the orange USB drive icon popping up) and is appropirately labeled "FreeAgent Drive", but when I try to copy files onto it it won't work. There are already windows files on there, such as some windows backups and lot's and lot's of pictures and videos. However, I have several USBs which already have windows files on them (namely movies, music, and other stuff) and copying and stuff works fine. Why won't it work with this hard drive and would work with USBs? Please help me out here guys, I am not experienced with Hard disks and formatting and stuff like that. 10 points for whoever helps me out the most. Thanks.

    We will need to reformat your EXT, but it will then work on both Mac and Win
    Connect the drive to your Mac, open disk utility
    Go to the partiton tab and select '1' ... format should be ExFAT ... in options select MBR
    Format the drive
    It should now work on both OSs; report back

  • Internet sharing between Mac and Windows XP

    I am trying to establish an airport wireless network with a Powermac G5 desktop and a Dell laptop with Windows XP, but have been unable to establish even an open network, let alone a secure WEP network. The laptop recognizes the network and ostensibly establishes a connection, but the browser (I've tried both Firefox and Explorer) is unable to connect to any webpages. Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    David

    OK, let's find the IP of the Airport on the Mac and the IP on the PC's connection.
    Find IP on computers...

    Hopefully Macs Airport will be like x.x.2.1, and the PC x.x.2.x+1
    We aren't do File Sharing or Windows Sharing at the same time are we?
    You didn't create a Computer to Computer Airport Network on the Mac and are connecting to that are you?

  • Access wireless pc from a Mac - and both to internet

    From home, I need to access my web server at work through my new pc laptop. But, I want to use my G5 iMac's big screen. I'm aware of MS Remote Desktop which allows me to access my pc from my iMac. But, I'm not sure how to set everything up so that I can
    - Use the same internet connection (yahoo/pacbell) for both the pc and the mac.
    - Use my pc laptop from the patio about 15-20 feet from my mac and internet connection/box.
    Do I need Airport? Use Bluetooth? Network the two computers? Can I use the same internet connection to call up the pc from my mac using MS Remote Desktop, and if so, how do I at the same time access keep my pc laptop? wireless? (Yes, I'm pretty ignorant about this.) Use Windows XP/ OS X 10.4.9
    P.S. My employer only supports pc's, not macs, and they purchased the pc laptop for me. So, getting a new Mac and using Bootcamp was not an option. And Bootcamp doesn't work on my current G5 mac. I must connect to the web server with a pc because I have to map a drive from a pc to access the web server -- they've set it up so that we cannot access the server through a Mac without using Bootcamp and Windows.

    You haven't mentioned that you have a router, which you'll need first to connect both your Windows and Mac computers to the Internet at the same time.
    Next, you need to work with your employer to get your Windows laptop connected to your server. He most likely has a router on his end, which means your server is not directly connected to the Internet for you to access. He will have to "port forward" port number 3389 to the server. This will direct all incoming RDC traffic to your server so that you can connect. (NOTE: Remote Web Workspace, aka RWW, will not work with Macs.)
    These are the two basic things you need to do. Your setup may require more steps.
    Hope this helps! bill

  • Mac will not connect to internet

    Hello I have two macs that will not connect to my time capsule's internet. I know it is not the TC because I have a pc that is right next to it with the same settings as the mac and can connect to the internet. I wonder what the issue is.

    Go to the System Preferences and Network and when the Box opens make sure that you are set to Automatic and below that the name of your Network is in there and finally in the box on the left that Wireless or Airport is selected and Drag it to the top of the list and the Green Dot is on the Wireless Network that is selected.
    Then repeat it on both computers.

  • How do I connect both a Mac and PC to Apple TV Home Sharing?

    Goal
    - I am trying to share both my PC and Mac through my Apple TV2 on the "Computers" home sharing menu.
    - These are 2 seperate iTunes accounts as they are 2 different owners of the PC and Macbook.
    - However, home sharing only allows me to have one at a time, can I not have 2 computers connected?
      (The menu is in fact plural and says "Computers" not "Computer")
    Attempt
    -I turn on home sharing on my PC with my PC iTunes account, it then shows up on the "Computers" list as PC
    -I turn on home sharing on my Mac with my Mac iTunes account, it then shows up on the "Computers" list as Mac, but it deletes the PC share
    Troubleshoot
    -So I started from scatch and connected the PC share with my PC itunes account, it shows up,
    -Then I connect the Mac home sharing with the same iTunes login as my PC, but it also erases my PC from the "Computers" list and just displays the Mac.
    Question
    -How do I connect both a Mac and PC to Apple TV Home Sharing?
    -I want them both to show up in the "Computers" list.
    -So the final result will look like this on my Apple TV menu:
    Computers
    -PC
    -Mac
    whew... I'm out of breath... I hope there is an Apple Genius out there that can help.
    Thanks!

    After retrying the home share with the SAME ITUNES ACCOUNT ON HOME SHARING I finally got it to work.
