Macbook does not see Appletalk Zones when using the airport

Anyone having a problem with seeing appletalk zones on a Macbook OS version 10.4.9 using the airport wireless connection? I have enabled Appletalk and no zones show up. I have an older Powerbook G4 running 10.4.8 and it sees the zones just fine via its Airport connection. It also shows up when I connect the MacBook via an ethernet conneciton but not via the airport. I am trying to get this fixed so I can use my old LaserWriter 4/600 printer. I don't understand why it works on the PowerBook but not the Macbook.
Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks for the help

Apple Tech Support solved this problem quickly and easily. In short, the USB connected printer was pointed to the computer and not the Airport Express. Here's what they ran me through:
- Assumes the Airport Express sees the printer as connected via USB
1. Open System Preferences > Print & Fax
2. Regardless of the printers you see, click the "+" button to add a printer
3. Select the Default icon
4. Check the Kind... should be Bonjour
5. Select the printer type connected to the Airport Express... the system will start to add such a printer
6. Ensure the Location is the Airport Express (mine was previously pointed to the MacBook)
-- You can change the name here is you like also such as "Kitchen HP Photosmart c4480)... recommend a different name than the original one installed so you know which one to remove later
7. Select Add
8. Remove the original printer which is pointing to the MacBook
You should be good to go.... Key points: Bonjour and Location as the Airport Express

MacBook Does Not See HP Photosmart C4480 Connected to Airport Express

I have an AT&T 2wire wireless & router as my internet access. Today I turned off the 2wire wireless and was able to set up an Apple-based home network with an Airport Extreme Base Station and Airport Express which I configured to extend the AEBS network. Both the AEBS and Airport Express show "green" for setup.
iTunes sees the Airport Express.
The Airport Express sees a HP Photosmart C4480 printer I have connected to it via the USB port.
- I do not have the C4480 driver installed on the MacBook.
PROBLEM: The Macbook sees the AEBS and Airport Express but DOES NOT see the HP printer connected to the Airport Express. When I go to System Preferences > Printer > Add Printer it does not see the HP and I don't know the IP address to add it. What can anyone recommend?
Thank you

Music does not play on Iphone when using the Remote app for Itunes , is this normall.

Hi all,
I am using the remote App for ITunes on my IPhone 5,I can get the phone to operate
ITunes perfectly but there is no audio coming from the phone, I am having a party and I
want to play the same playlist throughout the house without having it up at full volume.
I was hoping to leave the laptop downstairs and plug the IPhone into a stereo upstairs.
If this is normal ...........
Is it possible to load the playlist on to 2 computers , and have them playing the same music
simultaneously.
Any suggestions please

MacBook does not see Airport Express

My Macbook does not find my AX when I scan for it using Setup Manager. I used it fine about 3 mos ago just for iTunes, but now I need to use it as a real router and I can't even find it.
I have reset, and reset while plugging in. Still nothing.
Please help me get my AX working!
Thanks
Trevor
...ps I am good at giving stars etc

So, I finally tried unplugging and resetting everything. I reset my cable modem, and unplugged my AX, and shut down my computer. Then I did everything fresh from the beginning, making sure that things were plugged in appropriately and it worked! Good news.
But the place where I finally got it working wasn't where I wanted it. Yesterday after it had been working for about a week, I decided to move it to a more central location. ...now I am back where I was when I wrote the first question.
I tried setting it up using the Airport Admin Utility and it responded while I was connected with the ethernet cable, but as when I moved the other end of the cable to the cable modem from my computer, nothing. So, I reset soft and hard. Nothing. Now it just flashes.
Any other ideas? Once it is set, do I just move the ethernet cable like I did, or did I mess that part of it up?
Thanks so much!

I told my wireless network to forget two airport expresses so that I could rename them. Now the network does not see them even when plugged in about 10 feet away from the airport extreme base station. Does "forget" mean forever? How to reset?

I told my wireless network to forget two airport expresses 1 1st gen, 1 2nd gen so that I could rename them. Now the network does not see them even when plugged in about 10 feet away from the airport extreme base station. The network does recognize a totally new 2nd gen express. Does "forget" mean forever? How to reset?

The network does recognize a totally new 2nd gen express.
Then, it sounds like you have already reset the 2nd Gen Express, and now you need to set it up again, like you did the first time. Only, this time, assign the device name that you want to the AirPort Express.
Do NOT use the name that Apple suggests.....which will be something goofy like........Sueswimsf's Red Apple AirPort Express
Assign a simple name.....something like 2ndGenExpress

It wasn't hard to find your motherboard version:

After the Apple logo appears, what happens then? Can you hear any sounds or if you tap on the screen, does it seem like apps can open or are you just seeing a black screen? You might have a hardware problem, but you can try restoring the software and see what happens.
Read this in its entirety before you do anything. Make sure you read the sections at the end about using recovery mode.

New macbook does not "see" my network, old macbook pro and iphones do...

Yesterday I installed an upgrade to my airport extreme base station, now my macbook pro and the 2 iphones in the household see the wifi network but the other macbook does not. It does see the neighbors wifi networks and will see it when I connect via a cable to the base station by no wireless connection... help!

I am having a similar problem. I have 19 iBooks in a classroom and, suddenly, none of them can see the AirPort Express network when they log on. Instead, the iBooks try to connect to a Windows-based school network. I have designated the AEBS network as the only preferred network but the iBooks NEVER try to connect to it first. However, if you click on the AirPort icon in the menu bar, the AEBS network is clearly visible and clicking on it immediately connects you to the AEBS network.
When I originally set up the network in January, everything worked just fine. After the upgrade to AE Firmware 5.7 and various OS X 10.4.5 updates, everything has gone downhill. I had the dropped signal problem that so many have reported. I downgraded to AE Firmware 5.5.1 and followed J. Exby's procedure to upgrade the AEBS framework. That solved the dropped signal problem. But now my iBooks cannot find the AEBS network when they log in.
I have set the AirPort Network Preferences to connect Automatically or to Preferred Networks with the same result. I have also set the option to "Keep looking for recent networks" and it never finds our AEBS network. Yet, the network can be accessed manually through the AirPort icon.
BTW, I use one of the iBooks myself and it works perfectly and finds my preferred network in 2 other locations with non-AEBS networks. But it cannot see its own preferred network in school.
This is really bugging my students--and me! Any suggestions? THANKS!

Macbook does not see time capsule

I just purchased a time capsule to use as router an d backup. I connect using a DSL modem. I set everything up as instructed but could not find the time capsule using the time machine utility. I had to plug in an ethernet cable from time capsule to my macbook to set up the network.
When I tried to find the network using airport wirelessly, the network is not listed.
I have tried all sorts of things -- unplugging all and reconnecting as required etc etc.
Everything works fine -even backups - as long as I am wired in. However, the whole point is to go wireless.
Any thoughts???
Thanks

kailuamacnut,
Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Is the light on the TC green or amber?
Does your Airport menu show 4 solid bars? Or is it empty?
Once the network is created using the Airport Utility, you must use your Macs' Network Preferences to 'join' the new network you just created.
Cheers!

MacBook does not see internal hard disk

Sorry if this is already answered somewhere, but I have searched so many forums that my head is swimming!
My boyfriend connected a new USB drive to his MacBook, formatted the new disk, copied some backup data onto it. At some point, the MacBook hung, so he held down the power key until the MB turned off.
Each time we restart it now, we get the flashing-folder-with-question-mark, and Tiger won't boot.
I have tried almost all of the tips I can find, and was even willing to reinstall OS X, however... the MacBook does not appear to see it's internal hard disk. As such, I cannot perform first aid on the disk via booting to setup DVD, and I cannot reinstall OS X.
If I boot from the OS X install disk, and use Disk Utility, the MB only sees the CD-RW/DVD-RW drive and the install disc. No internal HD ever shows up.
Help! I am at a loss as to how to fix...

Let me guess: you're also experiencing a low clicking noise from the right side of your mac immediately after you turn it on, right? Same thing happened to me and others, in fact there are several threads on this subject already:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=960977&start=0&tstart=0
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5325539&#5325539
My drive was done for, and no data could be saved. I ended up buying a new drive, and now I'm just hoping the same thing doesn't happen again. I'm beginning to get a sense that this problem is occurring on a more frequent level now that the 1st generation macbooks have reached their 1-year birthday, give or take. Let's hope Appel fesses up if it is indeed a design flaw.
Anyway, you most likely need a new drive. I just got a Hitachi Travelstar 250 gb for around 200$US, so they're quite cheap, and VERY easy to install, just 3 screws, slide it in, boot up, run disk utility, erase/format and you're good to go.

Macbook does not see wireless printer

My laserjet 1102w is connected to an airport extreme and I can print wirelessly from a windows 7 pc.
However, my Macbook Pro does not see the wireless printer. I can print though if I connect the printer directly via USB.
When trying to add a printer via the '+'button in Finder > Printer & Fax there is no response and nothing to connect to.
Anyone knows how to resolve this ?

Hi,
Be sure to enable Wireless Direct as listed within Steps one below, as well locate the display name as listed:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03351623&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en &product=5169041&tmp_track_link=ot_search#N96
Once you are done click the WiFi icon on your Mac and select Join Other Network.
Click on Show Networks and the Wireless Direct network should be listed there.
