Need assistance - wired PC doesn't "see" AEBS; PC notebook and macbooks do

Hi everyone.
I’m hoping someone will be able to help me with the last step in putting together our home network. I’m certainly not a networking expert by any means, but I’ve been able to get the wireless aspects of the network (Internet, wireless printing, wireless external hard drive access) up and running rather easily. I’m not having quite as much luck with the wired aspect of the network, though.
My set-up is as follows:
Verizon FIOS modem/router
AEBS
USB Hub connected to AEBS, with printer and external hard drive attached
1 wired XP PC desktop (connected to a LAN port on the AEBS)
1 wireless XP PC notebook
2 MacBooks
Internet access, wireless printing and wireless external hard drive access are working on all three notebooks through the AEBS -- Awesome! The wired desktop PC is able to access the Internet as well. However, it is not able to access the printer or external hard drive. In fact, when I run the Airport Utility on the wired desktop PC, it does not recognize the AEBS at all.
I would imagine there are one or more network connection settings I need to change on the desktop PC, but I can’t figure out what they are. The fact that the desktop PC is able to access the Internet, but doesn’t otherwise “see” the AEBS has me very confused.
Any assistance that anyone is able to provide would be much appreciated!

Got it! I uninstalled the VPN software, and now the desktop PC is able to see the AEBS and access the external hard drive and printer. Thanks for the great suggestion!
My only problem now is that I won't be able to access my employer's network via VPN. It's not a "need to have", but rather a "nice to have" for those few days when I work from home. Do you know if it's typically possible to configure VPN software so that either (a) ports 192, 5009 and 5353 are open, or (b) the VPN software doesn't launch automatically at startup (thereby preventing the PC from seeing the AEBS), but still can be launched when I manually tell it to. The first approach sounds best, but you've indicated that this may be very difficult. I think the second approach would solve my problem as well, since I could launch and use the VPN software when necessary (even though this might mean that the PC loses sight of the AEBS after launch) and then restart the PC when I'm done. Not sure if you're as much of an expert with VPN software as you are with AEBS issues, but I figured I'd ask anyway. If you don't know, I suppose my next stop is my employer's network admin guys.
Thanks again for solving my problem!

ITunes doesn't see new iPod nano and creates 'iPod' folders on the Desktop

My mom got a new 5th Gen Nano. When it is connected to my parents' iMac (G5 with built in iSight running Leopard), iTunes doesn't see it. The strange thing is that the iPod itself goes through the normal synching procedures about every 30 seconds, and every time it happens, it creates a new 'iPod' folder on the desktop. The really strange thing is that each folder is actually a mounted volume that cannot be ejected and the only way to remove them is to reboot the system. Right now, there are 11 of those folders on the desktop (I am connected via screen sharing in iChat.
Any idea what to do about this one?
jorj

So, I found out how to fix this issue. In "My Computer" right click on the iPod and format it. I chose to format it using FAT and Default allocation size. After that, I opened iTunes and it recognized my iPod Shuffle. It said it wasn't formatted properly but gave me the option to restore it to factory defaults which fixed everything. Way to go Self. Thank you. You're Welcome

Blinking Amber Light, Apple Utilities doesn't see AEBS - after working fine

After 1.5 years of successfully using my AEBS, last night I suddenly got the blinking amber light. Further Apple Utilities doesn't detect it either. I had not made any changes to the config and the DSL modem seems to be just fine - I can hardwire connect to the internet. I've turned off both the DSL modem and AEBS and restarted them in sequence (modem first then AEBS) and nothing. My next step will be to reset the AEBS unless someone has other suggestions.
Any ideas...

Aha!!! Mystery solved and fixed.
The new baby monitor introduced into the room is the culprit. Wouldn't have thought that the interference would have been so strong as to completely haywire the AEBS but that is the case indeed. Luckily we only need the baby monitor at night when we're not online anyway.

ITunes 10 doesn't see my Aperture Library and I can't sync phots to iPhone4

I upgraded to iTunes 10, now when I plug in my iPad or iPhone to my MacPro iTunes tells me this device was sync'd with another photo library and should it delete the pictures to sync with photos from this computer. I said yes on my iPhone4 sync, it deleted all the photos on the phone then when I click to the Photo section it tells me there are 0 photos in my Aperture library!!!! So now I can't sync my photos as it believes they don't exist despite there being over 20,000 in Aperture!!! It sees my old iPhoto library no problem. How do I get iTunes to recognise my Aperture library to allow me to sync photos again?

thanks Tony,
I clicked on the Library and that did it .. (I never found the "switch libraries" menu item) but this worked great ...
but just to give a complete solution ... I was looking for a option to use 2 screens and decided to look in the Preferences file and at the top was an option to designate a library .. to point to one. I guess I needed to look a little harder... thanks for your time and help,
ana

I need assistance. I signed up for The Novel Network and now Firefox will not allow me access. I'm a computer dolt and don't know what to do next

Firefox will not allow me to access the area of this site to allow me
to finish the process to download books.

Thank you!
Here are my answers, as best I know how to present them:
1. I can see a big red "f". It's not flashing or moving or anything. Does that count as animation?
There is also an empty box with an X in the corner, as if a pop-up is blocked, or something.
2. I see 2 things under Adobe, called Adobe PDF Reader Link Helper and Adobe PDF Link Helper, both enabled.
3. I see Flash10m.ocx; FlashUtil10m_ActiveX; Get Flash; swflash; FlashInstall; FlashUtil10m_ActiveX.dll; and install.
(#2 and #3 took me to places I'd never been before. ha ha)

Satellite Pro A200 with Vista doesn't see other XP notebook in the network

I have Satellite Pro A200 Toshiba and I have some problems with the network.
The Inernet is upp and going but I cant find the other computers in my network.
Im having 3 other computer in a network. The A200 is having Vista and the other one is having just XP-pro and XP-home.
The network by the tree standalone is working fine but the laptop is not present in the network.
I've have checked the workgroup so it the same.
Is there anyhone thats having any idea how or whats the problem?

Hi again. Ive discovered how to solve the problem! Its the Norton Internet security thats causes the problem.
Just open the program, right click at the icon down at right, click at "Norton Protection Center"
Click on the "Norton Internet Cecurity", Wirewall settings, Commin Settings, Common Rules, Configurate,
Scroll down to "Standard-Block filesharing in Windows" Mark and "Modify", Mark the option "Allow" Save and go!
If You have understand what Ive written it should be working, the thing is that I have Swedish versions of all the software
so it might be a littel hard to understand the translation that Ive done. Try to use it and look for the most likness of my poor English.

Latest version doesn't install properly in Imac and Macbook Air 10.6.8

Flash Player is not working proprly on my Imac nor on my MBA, after installing and reinstalling latest version of FP many, TOO MANY times for the past week.
On most of youtube videos, but not all (i.e. "Dumb ways to die" works!) I get a message that says I need to install the new Flash player. When I go to the link provided, or directly to the Adobe web site, and install the Flash player, I continue to get the message telling me I need a new flash player.
I'm using Safari 5.1.9 and my OS is 10.6.8. Javascript is allowed under the security tab.
When I run the Adobe help for Flash, I get a blank box where I should see my version of flash and my operating system.
I also get the same error in other websites like Google maps, when I try to do a "street view" for example, and TV on demand.
Please Help! Should I revert to installing an older version? I wasn't having this problem until I updated to FP 11.8...
Thanks

Download the offline installer here: http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/licensing/mac /install_flash_player_11_osx.dmg
Mount the DMG and run the installer
If it won't run, go to: Mac HD/Library/Internet Plugins
Trash the Flash Player.plugin file from there
Go to: Mac HD/Library/Application Support/Adobe
Trash the Flash Player folder (the whole folder)
Empty the trash
Reboot
Mount the DMG and run the installer again.

ICal doesn't sync between my iphone and macbook pro

It takes several hours for my iCal entries to show up on my iPhone, and yet many entries are still incorrectly identified by color (not picking up edits from laptop on iPhone). My iPhone is set to push updates every 15 minutes, and my laptop .Mac preference is to update automatically. Even when I plug in to laptop and sync in iTunes, it does not update iCal from my laptop to my iPhone.
The Apple store geniuses completely replaced my MobileMe account a few weeks ago since they could not get my laptop & iPhone to sync and hadn't been since I opened the account last summer (apparently neither were talking to the cloud). Compared to not working at all, it synced much better after that, though inconsistently and with delay. Help me!!

On your Mac, go to sytem preferences and click on the icloud icon. Turn on iCloud.
When prompted, enter your Apple ID for iCloud. If you don't see a prompt, click the Apple icon at the top left of your screen and choose System Preferences. Click iCloud, enter your Apple ID, and select the services you’d like to enable.
One of the services is ICal.

IPhone Doesn't See WiFi

Hello all,
I am using a Time Capsule here at home for wireless internet, but my iPhone 3GS doesn't see it. Macs and PCs have no problems seeing it, and using it. Any ideas as to why my iPhone doesn't see it at all?
Thanks,
Jason

Settings - general - resets - reset network settings on your iphone.
this will force the iphone to "forget" all your previous wifi access points and settings (WPA, WEP keys , etc) and you'll have to reenter them again.

MacBook 10.4.11 to MBP 10.8 - Setup Assistant doesn't see drives?

All
I just posted this same info in an older thread but wanted to open an original post to ensure it got visibility. Thanks.
I have an older MB PPC running 10.4.11. I have been using SuperDuper to create bootable backups on an USB external drive (formatted to HFS+). Both the MB and the drive work as start up disks and all is in synch.
I purchased a new MBP and am upgrading from 10.7 to 10.8. Using Pondini's guides (thanks, http://pondini.org/OSX/Setup.html) I have tried the following methods but Setup Assistant never sees the source drive:
1. Connect USB with SuperDuper backup to MBP => Setup Assistant doesn't see it (selecting as a disk)
2. Start MB in Target Disk mode via Firewire connected to MBP => SA doesn't see it (selecting as disk)
3. Start MB in regular mode, launch Migration assistant and select to another Mac, MBP select from another Mac.... Never saw the disk and suggested I needed to update Migration Assistant. Reran Software Update and confirmed on latest. No luck.
NOTE: I had originally setup up the new MBP with an account and did NOT do Setup Assistant to migrate data. Ran into the same problems when running Migration Assistant not seeing the disks in the three modes above. Followed Pondini's advice and did a clean reinstall of Mtn Lion => booted from a USB boot thumbdrive, erased the main drive with Disk Utility, booted off the install thumbdrive with no issues until the disk recognition problems again)
Is the main issue that I am trying to migrate from too old of an OS X version (e.g. 10.4.11)? I can't find any specifications that say this is not allowed but I can't get it too work. Any help and additional suggestions very much appreciated. I have a family member anxios to get their new machine.....

Thanks, that's solved it, an incredible time saver!
The, uh, next issue has to do with Windows clients not seeing the Mac's DHCP server. Mac clients seem fine.

How can I add a new Template to My Templates in Pages? I've read most of the discussions on the subject but it doesn't work for me. By the time I reach the Templates folder, I only see templates for Numbers and not for Pages. Need help, please. Thanks

Si vous avez utilisé la commande Save As Template depuis Pages, il y a forcément un dossier
iWork > Pages
contenant Templates > My Templates
comme il y a un dossier
iWork > Numbers
contenant Templates > My Templates
Depuis le Finder, tapez cmd + f
puis configurez la recherche comme sur cette recopie d'écran.
puis lancez la recherche.
Ainsi, vous allez trouver vos modèles personnalisés dans leur dossier.
Chez moi, il y en a une kyrielle en dehors des dossiers standards parce que je renomme wxcvb.template quasiment tous mes documents Pages et wxcvb.nmbtemplate à peu près tous mes documents Numbers.
Ainsi, quand je travaille sur un document, je ne suis pas ralenti par Autosave.
Désolé mais je ne répondrai plus avant demain.
Pour moi il est temps de dormir.

Migration Assistant problem? : New iMac's iTunes doesn't see the catalog or playlist of my old Mac's songs on an external drive

So I just migrated from a 10.7.5 iMac 27" from 2009 to 10.9.4 on a 2013 27" iMac with Fusion Drive.
I don't use Time Machine. There are no backups involved here.
Used Ethernet. Only took 20 hours... (BTW, it stayed on "less than 1 minute left" for like 12 hours but luckily I was away and just left it going in hopes it would work... and it did!)
Anyway, back on my OLD iMac, I kept all of my songs on an external drive because my internal drive was too small. So iTunes looked at that drive for the music it was playing. I turned that drive off, even disconnected it, during the migration process because I thought it was confusing it during the first attempt which took 10 hours and nothing happened.
So now it worked, finally. On my new iMac, running Mavericks, I now have two user accounts... the one that was set up when I started the computer the first time, and the new one that transferred over via Migration Assistant. No problem. I can live with that. The only thing is, I would still think the old XML files and library stuff would migrate over... but iTunes doesn't see it. When I open up iTunes, in *either* account, iTunes behaves as if it's brand new. Repeat: the old and new account on the new iMac, both, do not see an old iTunes library which IS on the old iMac. Only the music is on the external drive from what I understand.
I've done this before so I know it's possible. I remember upgrading a long time ago and got iTunes to see my old library... even though some of the music was no longer there. It just puts "!" marks wherever there is no link. I was hoping that that's what I would find when I launched iTunes, but no luck. Even connecting the old hard drive to the new Mac (via USB) doesn't make iTunes all of a sudden "see" the old library. That data doesn't seem to be there. It didn't transfer over. Did it not transfer over because the songs weren't on the internal volume? Should I have left my external hard drive on?
So.... now that I've spent almost 3 days total trying to get this to work, and everything is running... I don't want to have to start over in order to get iTunes to work. Is there a way I can just drag over some XML files or something from the old computer? I don't want to lose all of the ratings and personal notes and everything.
I should add also that I have like only four songs I've ever actually bought through iTunes. I'm still a bit old fashioned and buy CDs and rip them to Apple Lossless. So I hope it's not an authorization / reauthorization issue because I have like 1400 albums ripped.
Thanks in advance for any help.
--Jeff

iTunes does not use the .xml it uses the .itl
If you are sure your old library file migrated across (does the file size and modification dates suggest it has?) start iTunes while holding down the option/alt key and guide it to the .itl file to get it to use that one.

Migration Assistant Doesn't see the Source Mac

Hello there,
I'm trying to transfer an application from my powerbook (10.5.5) to my desktop Mac (MDD, 10.4.11) using Migration Assistant. I'm very familiar with the use of Target Disk mode and Migration Assistant (MA). However, MA gets stuck in the window that says in the bottom ... " waiting for your old Mac to restart." The FireWire symbol is on the powerbook's screen and its icon shows on the MDD's desktop. I can open the "mounted" FW powerbook, etc. but MA doesn't see it.
Any thoughts?
Thanks a lot,
Jacobo

Not sure that Migration Assistant in Tiger could handle Leopard's way of doing things. Will try to check tomorrow.
Is there no other way to install it?
Sometimes, connecting the FW cable after it's booted into Target mode helps, I've seen this a couple of times.
