My Airport works fine with my Macs but not with Windows netbook

I bought my first Apple in 1987 and have never owned a Windows computer. I bought an MSI Wind netbook (too long of a story to go into here) and I can't seem to get it to recognize my Airport network. I have three Macs, an iPad and two iPhones that have no trouble getting on the network. Using this Windows machine is like learning a foreign language. I have no idea where to begin troubleshooting. It has XP installed and is a used machine. It seems to work great in every other aspect except for this.
If anyone could point me to some step by step instructions or have any suggestions, I would appreciate it. I have a feeling it's something simple, but I am in foreign territory! Thanks.

Ok, I guess we will just have to assume that the wireless capability of your netbook is functional.
Let's start by using Windows XP's automated network troubleshooting feature, called Network Diagnostics.
To use Network Diagnostics, follow these steps:
1. Click Start, and then click Help and Support.
2. Click the link to Use Tools to view your computer information and diagnose problems, and then click Network Diagnostics in the list on the left.
3. When you click Scan your system, Network Diagnostics gathers configuration information and performs automated troubleshooting of the network connection.
4. When the process is completed, look for any items that are marked "FAILED" in
red, expand those categories, and then view the additional details about what the testing showed.
Please post back your results.

. mov files playing fine on a Mac, but not on Windows with Quicktime 7.2

I have a few .mov clips that were created in Final Cut Pro and that I need to use on a Windows PC. They are playing fine in Quicktime 7.2 on my MacBook, but on the Windows machine, the files play only audio, no video. The screen is white.
I've tried to play these files in the Divx and VCL players, but they don't work there either.
Is there a reason these files would only work on a Mac?
--- As an aside, after installing 7.2 on above mentioned PC (running Vista), NONE of the .mov files on my hard drive run properly anymore. They are either jerky or "white". They will play fine in the VLC player. I've reinstalled quicktime; no difference. All these files were working fine in Quicktime before the upgrade.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Cheers, Johannes

Here's Avids answer:
Pro50 codecs only work in Macs, so the original files need to be EXPORTED from FCP with a special codec Avid created for Mac.
So that's that issue solved ... hopefully, let's see after the next export.
But .mov files are still screwed up on my PC.
Kirk - I did reboot the machine in SafeMode, reinstalled QT, but nope - version 7.2. still doesn't play any .mov files properly that are stored on my C-drive that previously were just fine.
Thanks again.

BDC with call transaction VD02 works fin in A mode but not in N mode

Hi All,
I have BDC program developed in 4.6c using call transaction VD02 works fine with mode A but not with mode N.
Now we upgraded to ECC 6.0.Do I need to change anything?

No, you don't have to change anything for ECC. BTW, I wonder why VD02 is not working in the background for you?

Have Sony reader 505, ADE doesn't recognize when attached to mac OX 10.6.8. works with reader library but not with ADE

Have Sony reader 505, ADE doesn't recognize when attached to mac OX 10.6.8. works with reader library but not with ADE

YEAY!
I just got the solution (that worked for me, anyway) from a Sony support rep. No PC or VMWare needed.
OK, you've installed Sony eBook Library v3, and Adobe Digital editions, you've set up your acocunts and authorized your computer on both of them, and you've authorized your Reader with the Sony Library application.
You go to the public library ebook download page, either through the Sony Library or just through a bookmark.
You check out a book, and open it in Adobe Digital Editions, which still won't recognize your Reader.
BUT, in the Sony Library app, you can now click "File, Import.." and go find the pdf you downloaded with the Adobe app.
On my Mac, it was in ~/Documents/Digital Editions
Import it, and drag it to your Reader.
The first time you do this, it will ask you to authorize the Reader with your Adobe ID.
Worked like a charm.

How do I send group emails from my iPad? They work fine from my MacBook but not the iPad.

How do I send group emails from an iPad? They work fine on my MacBook but not my iPad.

You need a third party app to do that. Look at Mail Shot or Group Email in the app store. You cannot do it with the built in mail app and the contacts app in iOS 5 without a third party app.

You can't connect directly to the external drive, but should be able to use iTunes Home Sharing via the laptop.

My firewire port works with ext hd but not with audio interface

2010 Imac 21.5 running 10.8.5. My firewire port works with ext hd but not with audio interface. The local authorized Apple tech said that I need a new motherboard, but my firewire ext drive works perfectly. I don't understand. Thanks.

You must go to the website of the audio interface manufacturer and look for, download and install updated drivers for the audio device you are using.
This is not, neccessarily, an Apple issue.

Hi ryanfromstockbridge,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on exactly what you are seeing when you try to add the printer or print to the printer. If you continue to have issues printing to this wireless printer, you may find the information and troubleshooting steps outlined in the following articles helpful:

Using iCloud my iCloud calendar is syncing with my iPhone but not with the Outlook calendar on my PC (Windows 7)

That is what it does. There is no sync, you have a new calendar.

I'm getting messages that Netflix and the iTunes store are currently unavailable. This can't be a coincidence. also, my iTunes account works fine on my Mac, just not on the Apple TV.

I'm getting messages on Apple TV that netflix and the itunes store are currently unavailable. This can't be a coincidence. Also, the iTunes store is working fine on my Mac, the message is only on the apple TV. Does anyone come across this frequently?

1. An explanation for what? There is indeed a support number (which you can find on this page in "Contact Us" and you are limited to one support call in the first 90 days and if you have the AppleCare you have more than that available, so I'm not sure what you are whinning about (and it is whinning, trust me).
2. http://www.kelleytown.com/ikelleytown.htm#firewire
However, since I wrote that I've also found this link pretty well explaining why firewire is the only way to go as well (it's about video but the same principles apply to the iPod:
http://www.pcworld.idg.com.au/index.php/id;1847886895
3. Your computer is constantly changing whether you know it or not. Do you not apply any MS upgrades (or have them automatically applied for you?) Do you not have any antivirus on your machine (which applies its own upgrades)? Do you not, ever, ever, ever, open any email message, or download that cute little movie your friend sent you, or plug in any other device (like a digital camera or flashcard reader) or any of the other hundreds of things that change the computer environment.
It would be tempting to conclude a priori that the update you applied is now the problem, but if so, how do you explain the millions of others who apply the update without issues? The difference is in the software and settings on the witches brew that is a PC. So in a sense you are right in that the old firmware worked with the mess that is your computer and now the new one doesn't -- but it ain't up to Apple to fix your computer, and impossible for them to control the environment (oh, I guess unless you buy a Mac -- "coincidentally" Mac's use firewire for the iPod :>)
I dunno -- when 90% of all issues (100% of all connection issues) can be solved with the Adaptec 4300 I tend to have a lot less patience with folks. If you want to use the mess that is USB then you'll just have to deal with the fact that MS screwed it up big time and become more knowledgable on how to handle the problems.

Wireless video link example works with antenna only but not with SMA to SMA cable

I am trying to run wireless video link example https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-22728 . It works fine if I use install antennas on my Tx and Rx USRPs. But it does not work if I use SMA to SMA cable to connect Tx and Rx USRPs. Can somebody guide me what is the reason why it is only workng with antennas but not with SMA to SMA cable.
Thanks
JK

I connect the 30 dB attenuator at RF input port of Rx USRP. But it does not work completely.
Without connecting attenuator i was not able to receive any thing on my Rx VI although it shows waveform. But after connecting attenuator receiver some times receive text messages and some times not. Also it does not work at all for images and for video it works partially but gives some error related to memory full after few mins.
I want to know why this example works completely without any problem if I use antennas, and why it does not work perfectly if i use sma to sma cable for connecting transmit and receive usrps.
Please guide
Thanks
JK

Windows 8.1 64bit. Webcam works with "Camera" app but not with Skype.

I've spent a few hours googling and trying out various things - all listed below. I give up - any ideas??? OS: Windows 8.1 64bitMemory: 32GBWebCam: Microsoft VX-7000. As per subject - the webcam works with the "Camera" app but not with Skype for desktop or for Modern UI (or the Microsoft Lifecam software for that matter). Already attempted: 1) Uninstall webcam drivers - download latest from microsoft (Windows 7) and install in Windows 7 compatibility mode.2) Close (from taskmgr) anything that looks like it might use Webcam. 3) Run Skype for Desktop in Windows 7 and 8 compatibility modes None of the above work. In Skype for Modern UI the webcam doesn't appear in the drop down in Settings - so I can't even select it. In Skype for desktops (version 6.11.32.102) the webcam is found but instead of image I get "Can't start video. Try closing other programs that might be using your webcam". I see from a bit of googling that various people seem to have the same issue (i.e. Webcam works with Camera app but not Skype) - so I'm hopeful someone has found a workaround / fix to this issue and I've just not had the googling skills to find it Thanks, - Matt Symes

OK - I appear to have resolved the issue. I restricted my google terms to [vx-7000 site:microsoft.com "windows 8.1"] Which uncovered this article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/933311 I noticed there were a couple of Windows 7 x64 specific registry settings that were mentioned so I checked these and they weren't as per the article. In fact - one of the Registry Keys was already used by other software "AI Charger+" which is some ValueAdd software that came with my motherboard. I uninstalled AI Charger+, uninstalled LifeCam driver. Reinstalled LifeCam driver in Windows 7 compatibility mode. Still not working. I returned to the registry and noticed the settings still differed from the above article. I corrected them (which involved not just amending Data but having to add new Values). I then disabled and reenabled the LifeCam from dvcmgmt.msc I was then able to get video from the webcam in the Skype for Desktop preview screen.

ESR,ID working with 8000 port but not with 50000

Hi experts,
I am working with PI 7.1. I am working with SOAP to ABAP SERVER Proxy scenario. I have downloaded the WSDL from ID and using XMLSPY sent a SOAP request to PI server and I got an error in SXMB_MONI under the Call Adapter step saying CLIENT_RECEIVE_FAILED.
We cross checked the services in SMICM transaction, and we missed the HTTP port 8000 for the parameter icm/servr/port_xx.
Then basis team changed the port 8000 in SMICM for the same parameter and restarted the Java stack.we checked the icm/HTTP/j2ee parameter which is having 50000 port.
Now ESR,ID,SLD,RWB... etc are working with ABAP port 8000 but not with 50000 java port and also I am getting an error in SXI_ CACHE while doing my delta refresh if_http_client receive http_communication_failure : http_communication_failure:ICM_HTTP_CONNECTION_FAILED. Kindly suggest me to resolve this error.
Naveen

Hi,
Re: Architecture of PI 7.1
NW PI 7.1 - ICM is not binding to port 5$$00
from the above two threads it is very clear that from PI 7.1 both the ABAP and J2EE ports are same.
Now we maintained both the ICM and j2ee port as 50000. Now ESR,ID,SLD are working with port 50000.
But in my SOAP to Proxy scenario I am getting the same error. When I try to send request to XI server using Altova xmlspy I am getting following error in SXMB_MONI under Call Adapter
<SAP:Code area="INTERNAL">CLIENT_RECEIVE_FAILED</SAP:Code>
<SAP:P1>400</SAP:P1>
<SAP:P2>ICM_HTTP_CONNECTION_FAILED</SAP:P2>
When i click that HTML error It shows
404 Resource not found
I am getting the following error in CC monitoring .
com.sap.engine.interfaces.messaging.api.exception.MessagingException: com.sap.engine.interfaces.messaging.api.exception.MessagingException: XIServer:CLIENT_RECEIVE_FAILED
My reciever communication channel is in green status CC monitoring.
I tested my server proxy in my end system which is successfully fetching data.
I am using the following URL format for generating the WSDL from Integration directory.
http://host:port /XISOAPAdapter/MessageServlet?channel=p:s:c
Do we need to maintain the Fully qualified host name in the above URL?
I tried with a test scenario which is an asynchronous communication with the above mentioned URL format. I got a success message in SXMB_MONI.
Since I am using PI 7.1 I tried the following URL also but i this case,the XML spy itself throws error. I couldnt see any messages in SXMB_MONI.
http://host:port/XISOAPAdapter/MessageServlet?senderParty=&sender
Service=FS&interface=IF&receiverParty=&receiverService=TS&interfa
ceNamespace=IFNamespace
I have seen many threads in SDN for this same error but I didn't get an answer for my scenario.
Lakshman and Manjusha
Thanks for the quick responses.
Regards
Naveen
