My iMac can not see my mini Mac via Airport extreme using host name, only via IP address. What am I doing wrong ?

I have an iMac and a mini Mac attached to the same Airport extreme. It would appear that Bonjour works because I can see the hostname of the mini Mac server in Finder on the iMac.
But if I type in the host name (myminimac.private) in the Safari browser at the iMac it can not find the mini mac. However if I type in the IP address of the mini mac server it can see the see it.
It used to work but I must have done something to mess it up.
Anybody any suggestions ?

You have the wrong card. You need the original AirPort card for your G4.
...how the **** do i get the Superdrive to open up so i can put in a CD/DVD?
If the keyboard has a media eject key, press that. If not, hold down F12.

  • When I try to transfer the songs (that I've purchased on iTunes) on my iPod to my computer I get an error that my computer is not authorized, however I have already authorized it (it's the only computer authorized).  What am I doing wrong?

    Try deauthorizing the computer, logging out of the iTunes store, rebooting your PC, logging back into the iTunes store, and reauthorizing your computer.
    Any luck there?

  • Can not see Guest Network tab on Airport Extreme-

    I have an Airport Extreme base station with the Guest Network enabled. Last week my neighbour bought a brand new Airport Extreme base station and asked me to help set it up. Problem is that I can't see the Guest Network tab on his Airport Extreme when I use the Airport Utility. I can see it on mine.
    In fact, as the networks are close I can see both airports at the same time. I have verified that the firmware versions are the same.
    Any clues?
    Thanks in advance.

    Your friend likely has a gateway (combination modem/router) from his service provider. Since this device performs as both a modem and a router, and the AirPort Extreme is also a router, you have two routers in series on the same netowrk.
    When this occurs, the second router...the AirPort Extreme in this case....must be configured in Bridge Mode for correct network operation.
    Check the following setting:
    AirPort Utility > Manual Setup
    Click the Internet icon
    Is the setting for Connection Sharing set to Off (Bridge Mode)?
    If yes, the Guest Network feature is not available in this setting. Your friend will need to replace his gateway with a simple modem if he wants to enable the Guest Network feature.

  • IMac can not see Windows machine on network

    Hi guys,
    Before the AirPort Extreme Update 2007-02, my iMac can connect and share with my Windows machine. However, after installing the AirPort Extreme Update 2007-02, my iMac can not see my Windows machine work-group anymore. How to fix this problem ?
    Im using 20' iMac running on Mac OS X 10.4.8
    Please help.

    If reinstalling the current update doesn't work, perhaps that is because the update was completed properly, but in the process has messed up configuration settings files and preferences. If you can't find any problems in your settings through System Preferences, then there are probably hidden errors in the .plist files and the way to correct that is by manually wiping out all your network settings files and redoing everything in Network preferences may be a quicker fix than brain surgery. Try deleting these files, then reboot and redo your network settings appropriately..
    These are all in the folder /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration:
    com.apple.airport.preferences.plist
    com.apple.nat.plist
    NetworkInterfaces.plist
    preferences.plist
    Note, this will wipe out all network-related settings, and force the OS to rebuild default preference settings files for the built-in network devices. This is sometimes the only thing that will clear up bizarre networking issues, but generally speaking, it works well.. just don't forget to thoroughly note all your proper network settings including wireless network passwords and all that before you perform this house cleaning for reference as a precaution.

  • Why can't I connect to Exchange Server 2003? I'm using OS Lion. My iphone connects, what am I doing wrong?

    Why can't I connect to Exchange Server 2003? I'm using OS Lion. My iphone connects, what am I doing wrong?

    the iPhone uses active sync. Desktop clients do not. Desktop clients use another exchange protocol (which i can't remember as i'm not a microsofty).
    Just because you can access via active sync doesn't mean you can access it by other methods, and vice versa.

  • IMAC can not see any wifi networks at all?

    IMAC can not find any wifi network at all. A few days ago the Imac suddenly had no wifi and on turning the WIFI on and off it became apparent that when it scans for wifi it can see no wifi networks at all. I have several other computers and they all see the wifi networks fine. I assume it is a hardware issue but the hardware test I preformed comes up with no errors. Anyone got any ideas?

  • Can't see USB hd connected to airport extreme w/ iPad

    Plugged external hd in airport extreme but can not see using IPad .I have downloaded app for airport & can find airport but does not show hard drive. How can I access files on external hard drive?

    Unfortunately you can only access hard drives plugged in airport extreme or time capsule, from a Mac or a PC. iOS devices (iPad, iPhone, iPod touch) do not support this feature.

  • My ipad2 I just got today can't seem to recognize the net. I do have the wifi turned on. What am I doing wrong?

    I just received my ipad2 today, and did all the sync routine.  The wifi is working, but I can't seem to access the net. I get an error message stating "Cannot open page, Safari cannot open the page because it is not connected to the Internet." What am I doing wrong?

    Tap Settings in the Home screen then tap General / Reset / Reset Network Settings.
    Then restart the iPad. Press and hold down the Sleep / Wake button until you see the red slider then swipe to the right to power off, then hold down the Sleep / Wake button until you see the Apple logo.
    If that didn't help, try the iPad Wi Fi help here.

  • Can not send email from Mac, iPhone, or iPad using mail using iCloud.

    I can send email from the icloud web page but I get error messages that the icloud outgoing server is not recongized when I send email from my iphone, ipad and Mac mail.  I can receive icloud email okay on all devices.  I have manully setup a icloud server per instructions on icloud support page for mail's outgoing server name.  It still is not recongized.

    I found a work around that works.   Got to Settings...Icloud....account......advanced....outgoing mail server.....
    Add an "other" server.
    Host Name p01-smtp.mail.me.com
    Put in your me.com email address as username and your Apple ID password
    SSL is on
    Authentication is password
    Server port 587
    This worked for me.....I will use this until the bug is fixed.     Don't make this server your primary.   Leave it in "on" status in the other category.
    Good luck

  • No laughing...  I have a Canon ZR 300 camcorder.  I can not see it when connected via firewire in system profile and iMovie doesn't see it either.  Any suggestions?

    I have an old Canon ZR 300 camcorder that I'm trying to connect to my 17" MBP via 9 pin firewire (its a 4 pin to 9 pin cable as the MBP doesn't have a 4 pin firewire - figured it was backwards compatible).  Anyhow, iMovie 09 doesn't see the camcorder.  I checked under System Profile and then under Firewire and it doesn't see it either.  In fact I get some red letters about not seeing firewire devices.  I'm running Lion.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

    Should using mixed wifi and ethernet clients on a timecapsule work?  if so is it a feature I can use out of the box so to speak?
    Thanks
    No a TC cannot do what you want.. it is now in dumb stupid wireless join mode.. and it turns off the ethernet ports.. in case you want to use the TC as a wireless bridge to multiple clients which is plainly wrong.. (only airport express is allowed to do this since it has only one ethernet port).
    Welcome to Apple. (The plainly wrong above is a figment of Apple imagination.. of strict network protocols.. but unhelpful for a home device. maybe also to encourage sales of expresses.)

    Yes. Reinstall iTunes. If that is the point at which you stopped trying the support suggestions then it makes sense to me, that you move on to the next suggestion and if reinstalling iTunes is the next suggestion, so be it.
    However ....  I too have issues that arise out of the blue with my iPad being recognized in iTunes and what I always do and it eventually works is to quit iTunes, restart my MacBook, and reboot my iPad.
    Rebooting the iPad is the last thing that I do and only if I have no success with quitting iTunes and restarting the Mac. It may take a few tries to work, but if you are that dead set against reinstalling iTunes, then give it a try.

  • I can't see hard drive attached to Airport extreme from Windows XP computer

    I have a Windows XP computer on my network. I can no longer see the network hard drive attached to Airport Extreme from the XP computer. I can see it with all the MACs on my network and all the Windows 7 computers. I can connect to the internet with the Windows XP computer. I previously had no problem seeing the network hard drive attached to the airport extreme from the XP computer and one day it just disappeared. I have deleted and reinstalled Bonjour, not just Bonjour print services. I can print to a network printer that is not attached to the Airport Extreme. Help!

    Well, I'm stumped. I spent an hour on the phone with Apple support-- they ran through the scenarios I had already been through, and they came up with nothing useful. I ended up taking a second 160gb HD that was formatted NTFS, and formatted if for HFS+. This drive was visible through Finder. I took the same drive, formatted it for FAT32 and, surprise, surprise, NOTHING VISIBLE.
    The "just works" philosophy is OK, but it's bunk when it comes to network drive support. I'm doubting the wisdom of this purchase now.
    $2500 for a computer that can't connect to a network drive that can be seen by an $500 Dell laptop?
    The issue simply seems to be this: put a FAT32 drive on another box, and it can be shared by Macs and Windows boxes.
    Put that same FAT32 box on an AirPort Express, and my Mac is BLIND. It can't see the drive.

  • Can't see printer on PC with airport extreme

    I've been running an Airport Extreme for a couple of years and the printer and internet work great. Just added a PC running Vista, I have to connect to the internet on my iBook before I can connect on the PC. The PC does not see the wireless printer to add it. Have tried changing printer sharing, but that doesn't help.

    Got lucky to phrase my question correctly once which lead me to iFelix posting on the proper sequencing of a TCP/IP port connection. Is that right? anyway, it worked perfectly. Thankyou iFelix!
