New TC Won't Connect

I have an existing internet connection with a cable modem and a wireless router, and that works fine. I just bought a TC yesterday and I'm not sure how to hook it up. I've tried modem-ethernet-router to try and wirelessly connect to TC.. doesn't work. I've tried modem-ethernet-TC(LAN).. doesn't work. The AirPort Utility cannot find my TC no matter how many times I rescan.
What am I doing wrong? All I want it to do it backup my HD and print wirelessly.

Anybody?????

  • My new Macbook won't connect to my wifi network - it keeps saying "password incorrect" - but I've tested it on my phone and works fine, I've checked the password I enter is correct digit for digit - what could the problem be?

    you need to open the keychain access located in your utilities folder in the applications and once in the keychain on the left side click on the words system at the top and in the lower section click on passwords
    next look in the striped area for any passwords that say airport network password next to kind and highlight those and hit delete on the keyboard to remove them from the keychain.
    once you remove all of these airport passwords, quit the keychain
    turn wifi off then back on, select your wifi network from the list and enter the password telling it to save to keychain this should resolve your issue!

  • My brand new IPad won't connect to my wi-fi box.

    My brand new IPad won't connect to my wi-fi box. I have been entering the required 26-character code (this is in France) over and over, phoning my supplier but to no avail. I have also checked bluetooth connection as some-one suggested in a discussion and its ok. I'm at a loss ! Can anyone help ? Thanks !

    Turn Bluetooth off in Settings > General > Bluetooth
    Having Bluetooth enabled while using Wi-Fi can cause interference.
    Now tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
    Restart the iPad. Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button down until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPhone. To turn iPhone back on, press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    Tap Settings > Wi-Fi. Make sure Wi-Fi is switched on.
    If it still won't connect, try here >  iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections

  • New iPad won't connect to Mobile Hotspot using WPA or WPA2

    I have a new iPad running iOS 6.01.  It connects to wifi networks perfectly.  I also own a Blackberry 9790 that is capable of running a wifi hotspot.  When I try to connect my iPad to the mobile hotspot when WPA or WPA2 Encryption is used the iPad cannot connect.  If I change the Encrypstion to WEP I am able to connect the iPad and wifi works on it.
    Is there a reason the new iPad won't connect to a mobile hotspot that's using WPA/WPA2?  Is there a way to resolve this issue?
    I am able to connect my MacBook Pro to the mobile hotspot using WPA/WPA2 so I know that it's not my phone or the hotspot not working properly.
    Thanks

    It appears as though I fixed my own problem...I hadn't yet tried restarting my blackberry or my iPad since I had been trying to setup the mobile hotspot and connect the iPad.  Anyways, I restarted both devices and then tried connecting using WPA/WPA2 and it worked.
    iPad is now connecting to my mobile hotspot using WPA/WPA2 with no problems.
    Maybe try doing the same if you haven't.

    HI again Andy,
    The last message had some more stuff in between the "Hello" and "Regards" - I have no idea what happened to it. But nevermind...
    I started up the Mini with the modem in one usb, and the speaker system in the other (M-Audio Sonica Theatre) - I have one of the Minis that have only 2 USB (and one FireWire) ports. The firewire has the external drive connected to it.
    So far, as I"m typing this, I AM able to be online and use iTunes simultaneously. (both SaFari and iTunes respond slower than if I was using only one or the other, but they ARE actually working - in addition to having Adium running) - So I think what you suggested ( that is was something wonky was the USB hub) was a correct, yet assessment.
    Would you have any reccommendations for USB hubs? The only thing that I have connected to the hub under normal circumstances that would be constantly "running" would be the RadioShark (even though the Radio soft isn't playing - the blue light on the RadioShark is always on) - and the speakers naturally. Everything else is of the occassional variety - iPod Sync Cable, Dual Layer External DVD Burner, and a "pass thu" to the USB ports on my Hard Drive Enclosure (which had been unplugged before the problem was noticed). The hub I current use is the
    Kensington DomeHub USB 2.0 (7 ports) Weighted Hub 33118 http://www.amazon.com/Kensington-DomeHub-ports-Weighted-33118/dp/B0002FHENE/ref= sr16/002-4275642-8664817?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1187848108&sr=8-6
    which (I thought) worked better than the "throwaway" ones I had used previously.
    You think it is the hub or something connected to it that may be causing the problem?
    Regardless, thank you for your time, and I hope to hear from you soon.

  • New computer won't connect to internet

    I just got a new hp pavillion computer and it won't connect to my wireless. The details say something about IPv6 connectivity having no network access. I'm sending this from a borrowed Nook Color and my wireless is working just fine. Can anyone please help me?

    Sorry about that; it's an HP Pavillion 20.  However, after calling everyone under the sun, I found out that my router was too old (bought in 2004) so I went and bought a new wireless router.  I'm online now and everything is great.

  • New iPad won't connect to Orange Liveboxs router...

    New iPad 16gig wifi won't connect to Orange Livebox router...
    I can see the router available as a choice in a list of wireless routers(presumably the neighbours' as well), I can select it, it changes from Gray to Black but then removes itself from the window...
    I DO get a message about the 'base station', does this indicate a router issue?
    I have a G5PPC imac working and a G4 powerbook and an iPhone all on this wireless connection - I can switch iPhone wifi on and off and the Livebox is readily found...
    I also have access to a 10.6 macbook and it's network choice behaves in this fashion also - ethernet OK but no wireless....

    I had the same problem. Unfortunately it seems that the Orange Live Box, which was previously the Wanadoo Live Box, is not compatible with a Mac. You can confirm this in the instructions for the Live Box. Completely rubbish and hopefully after mass buying of Apple products will convince Orange to upgrade their technology.
    The solution that I use is to use a second router plugged in to the Live Box and connect to that instead. I can recommend the FONERA SIMPL from http://www.fon.com/en/product. I've now bought 2 as my parents also use the Orange Live Box at their house.
    Hope that helps.

  • New Macbook won't connect to existing network

    Hi there,
    I've just got my new macbook, and it won't connect to my wireless network. It comes up with an error message saying it cannot connect to the network. There's no hint of what the problem is. I have another laptop which connects to the network fine. Is it a password issue? And if so where do I go to change the relevant Airport settings?
    Thanks
    J

    The System Preference, Network, is where you change these things. However, it will only ask for a password when you try to connect, and it needs one. If it didn't ask, the network doesn't have a password. If you tried to enter one before, you can try deleting the Keychain that holds the wireless password. Open Keychain Access from the Utilities folder. Look for your network name in the list of items and delete the one with that name. If you have more than one, that may be the issue. Just delete them and start over trying to connect. Otherwise...
    We need to know more about the wireless network. Open, WEP, WPA? Type of router? What are the router settings?
    What are the MacBook settings for the Airport Network settings? Is it set to join automatic or preferred networks. Try adding your network as a preferred network and try that.
    The following are things that may work. Sometimes preference files prevent things like this, even on a new MacBook.
    There is also a preference file, /Library/Preferences/System Configuration/com.apple.airport.preferences.plist that controls some of the global Airport items. Try moving it to the desktop and then open system preferences and re-configure the network settings. Also there is preferences.plist. It has all of your network configurations and locations. If you move it, you'll have to add all of your network interfaces back into the Network Port Configurations and any Network Locations you may have made.
    You can always move them back if it doesn't help, but you'll have to overwrite the new ones that were created. You must be an admin user to do this.

  • My brand new iMac won't connect to the internet - the Air is fine?

    Hi All,
    Loved my Air so much I bought an Imac today to do some serious work - but it won't connect to the internet.  It won't load any external webpages, the wireless symbol in the menu bar is at full strength and in settings it says its connected to the modem.  Its also finally recognising local time.  It can also 'see' my Macbook Air in the 'Migration Assistant' but doesn't connect.  The Air can't find the Imac in the 'migration assistant' and just spins.  I've rebooted the modem, turned both on and off, checked  Safari settings eg extensions (none loaded - its new today).
    Essentially I've not been able to view a webpage with the new Imac at all - very frustrating and disappointing. (The Air was a breeze to set up).
    I'm not very technical so does anyone have any suggestions?  Or do I just return it?  TIA.

    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                 
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on the router (or what yo are connecting to)
    - Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings

  • New iPod, won't connect

    I installed all the software for the new iPod video, then connected the iPod. Then I realized I hadn't hit "restart" first. I disconnected my iPod, which had loaded on two songs, then restart my computer. Now when I connect my 'pod, it flashes the "do not disconnect" method, but iTunes doesn't seem to pick up that it's there. Any help?
    Thanks in advance.

    edited: You already fixed your first issue...
    For your second problem:
    You have the most recent version of iTunes installed and did you install the full cd that came with your pod? How are you moving the files onto your iPod?

  • New iPhone won't connect to the internet?

    I'm a college student and, I admit, completely clueless about technology. I just got my iPhone on Sunday and, from day one, it was giving me an error message when I try to open Safari.
    The error message is as follows:
    Could not activate cellular data network
    You are not subscribed to a cellular data service
    I have not yet registered by iPhone with the campus Wi-Fi but I was under the impression that an iPhone, once set up, will automatically connect to the 3G network if it doesn't have access to Wi-Fi. My family has a data plan which works on the other iPhones we have, so I have no idea why mine won't connect or what I'm doing wrong.
    Any tips?

    Settings>General>Reset
    Choose Reset Network Settings
    Your phone will restart. Test internet after that.

  • Brand new iPhone- won't connect, won't launch iTunes, can't do anything (??

    Hi everyone. I hope someone can help. I just bought my iPhone today at Apple. I walked by AT&T and had an account set up. So, all was well, until I tried to plug it in. Two things have happened.
    First, I can't use the phone. When I plug it in, it does not launch iTunes. I've read in other posts to give it 2 minutes and see if it will. I've also read to launch iTunes myself. I've tried both, and nothing. When I launch iTunes it does not show. It doesn't show on my desktop either, but not sure if it should, since it's new to me.
    Specifically, the only thing that happens is, I hear a chirp or a tone and the screen lights up when I connect the USB cable. But all it reads is "Slide for emergency" which I did...I guess that's for an emergency call. An icon appears in the middle showing the usb cable and an arrow pointing to an iTunes icon. I've plugged it in, so not sure whey this is still showing. Also, at the very top it reads "no service" which I guess is due to it not being set up yet. And, there's a little "lock" symbol at the top. That's all I get. I've tried rebooting. Nothing. I've tried repairing permissions, then rebooting. Nothing. I cannot get this thing to connect.
    Second, and please hear me out on this one. I've used macs for a while and am generally knowledgeable about them. Also, i've been on this iMac for about 5 months, hooked to the same internet connection. However, for whatever reason, after trying to plug the iPhone in, my internet and web applications have gone to complete crap on me. The WILL NOT connect at high speed...it's unbelievably slow. Insufferable even. Now, i've used this every day and have a really good idea of how it reacts. This is 100% out of the ordinary. As I sit here typing this, this page is STILL trying to complete loading. Something is clearly wrong here. Some pages won't load altogether. I've tried resetting my modem (disconnecting, unplugging). Performance was exactly the same. And, as mentioned, i repaired permissions. So, it's a little more than coincidental to me this happened immediately after running into troubles with my iphone connection. It's like the iphone somehow messed my computer up.
    Sorry for the long post. I hope you can understand that I'm very frustrated. It appears that, not only can I not get my phone to work, but it seems i've messed my computer up in the process somehow. Any suggestions? Please. Thanks for your help.

    Hi all-
    For anyone reading this, I've solved both problems, and figured i'd post in case it could help anyone else.
    First, the iPhone issue. I figured it out by reading another post here. Basically, in the start up items of your "accounts" in system preferences, there's an item called iTunesHelper. I had that unchecked. I can't remember why...I guess b/c I believed I wasn't using it. Anyway, I had read that that could be a problem, so I checked it, rebooted, and low and behold....the iPhone connected and launched iTunes. I'm now up and running. Phew.
    As for the internet sluggishness, I don't know what was causing it. But, I just booted from the Leopard dvd, ran Disk Utility and repaired permissions as well as verify disk. Everything checked out. Rebooted on Macintosh HD, and everything was fine. It's as if it never happened. Very weird. But it's fixed.
    Hope that maybe helps someone in someway...if your iPhone's not launching iTunes, try checking the iTunesHelper app in your startup items. Worked for me.

  • New ISP - won't connect to Airport.

    I moved to a new apartment. In my old place, I had Comcast DSL, and it was easy to set up - plug my Mac and Airport in and everything worked.
    My new place is pre-wired for Verizon DSL, and nothing works. I just spent 2 hours on the phone with them, during which they solved exactly none of my problems. So PLEASE PLEASE help me - I'm desperate!!!
    When connected directly on my computer, I can access the Internet. With the Airport, I haven't been able to. The Airport is recognizing my computer (light is green), but I can't get online.
    Under "Network" in System Preferences, if I go under the "Built-In Ethernet" tab, the IP addresses are all correct - they correspond to Verizon's system.
    Under "AirPort" it is set to join Automatically. The IP address is 10.0. etc., which they said is correct.
    Yet, it won't work. I'm not sure what other information you need to be able to help me, or it may be better to have a number I can call.
    Any suggestions?!?!
    Thank you so much.

    KB 108046 states:
    AirPort Express has two MAC addresses, and both are listed on its case. The one labeled "AirPort ID" is the MAC address for its wireless interface, and the one labeled "Ethernet ID" is the one for its Ethernet port.

  • New iPod won't connect to a computer installed w/ old iPod

    I just purchased a new 2nd gen. iPod nano to replace my 2 year old iPod mini. My laptop recognizes my mini fine, but won't even detect my new nano. Why is this? I saw in the other topic that a BIOS update would do the trick, but I updated and the computer still won't recognize. What can I do?
    Thanks for your help
    Dani

    This could be caused by Windows drive letter confusion on your computer. Have you tried assigning your Mini a different drive letter?
    Log off of any other users on your computer (and disconnect any iPods that are currently connected to your computer, as well)
    Then, put your iPod into Disk Mode, and follow these steps:
    1 - Don't plug in your iPod yet.
    2 - Go to "START -> Control Panel -> Admin Tools (if you don't see this, click on "classic view" button on the left panel) -> Computer Management."
    3 - Click on the "Disk Management" button in the left panel area.
    4 - Now, with "Computer Management" and Control Panel windows opened, connect your iPod to the computer.
    5 - Right-click on your iPod's listing there (after a few moments when it gets recognized in this drive window), and click on "Change Drive letter and Paths". Then the "Change..." button.
    Here's what it should look like:
    Assign your iPod the letter "M" "N", "O" or the like (further along in the alphabet).
    For more details, see this article:
    Windows confuses iPod drive letter / Changing drive letter
    If that fails to get your new nano recognized by your computer, try the steps and suggestions in these links below:
    iPod missing in My Computer or in iTunes
    iTunes 7 doesn't recognize iPod
    iPod not recognzied on a laptop through USB connection
    Also, this possibility: Fast user switching on a Windows computer is not supported for iPods
    I hope that helps you.
