PageMill3 wont do ftp upload or find printer using new extreme base station

Hello,
I am still trying to use Adobe PageMill 3.0 to upload to my website.
It worked fine with the old dial up modem.
But it won't upload now via the airport extreme & BTL cable.
It does open the website folder but fails to establish a data connection.
Also it doesn't find the printer attached to the base station.
Any ideas please.
Thank you.
Regards,
Ken..

Glyn,
Money!
Thanks for the ideas. The 802.11b/g compatible setting was correct and I should have written that in my original post.
The original channel was 11. I manually changed it to 6 and, lo and behold, the older MacBook could see the network.
Thanks for the ideas and the help.

  • Printer and AirPort Extreme Base Station with Gigabit Ethernet

    Hello!
    I own a macbook, one windows xp pc, and two windows vista notebooks. I bought a airport extreme base station. I set it up with my macbook at first and I do a print and it works. I do the same with the others. I install the printers drives to all notebooks. Then tried to print and only one of them worked. They all have bonjour download for windows. So i restarted all the pc's and mac and tried to print and never prints. On the pc's i get a error message. On the mac i get an its busy and never prints. All of them connect to the internet, but no printing. I have the printer connected to the base station. I did two prints and then I couldnt print after that. Internet works. Please i need some help to fix this. Thanks in advance

    Hi
    Maybe you already have fixed your printing problem. I'm no expert but I sometimes have had printing problems and I feel for you. However, first of all. What sort of printer do you have? It sounds to me that one of the pc printing documents got stuck somewhere on its way to the printer and now it is taking up space on the network (figuratively speaking ofcourse). I can recall something happening to my network/printer some years ago. Unfortunately I can not remember what I did to fix the problem but if I were you I would do the following: First I would disconnect the pc from the network and then try to reset the printer clearing its print memory. Then I would try to get the mac to print again. If succesfull I would take the mac off the network and connect one of the pc's and get that to print. If I succeded I would repeat the procedure with the other pc's. If I wasn't succesfull I would clear the memory again and then try with one of the other pc's. But I would only try one computer at the time to try to isolate the problem. Maybe you have already tried this and since pc's are a mystery to me I dont't know how to help you in that department. However using bonjour on the pc's I would not expect to have problems (though I use Windowc XP print menu on my vertual pc - works fine).
    Hope that you will solve your problem soon.

  • Printing wirelessly using airport extreme base station

    I recently set up a wireless network at my house using an airport extreme base station. I plugged my usb printer into the base station and, according to the manual, I can print wirelessly. However, when I go to print, after following the manual instructions, it just times out. Any ideas?

    There is already a thread (or two) on the PSC 1410:

  • Printing to Ethernet Printers Using Airport Extreme Base Station 802.11n

    I don't want anything extraordinary. I think what I have to set up is pretty simple.
    I have a PowerMac G5 tower and an Airport Network with an older 802.11g AExBS connected to my cable modem. I just acquired an AExBS 802.11n. While I'm sure that people would tell me to ditch the older one an just use the newer one, that is not today's task.
    All I would like to do is to use the AExBS for my 3 Ethernet printers. The printers are:
    Brother HL-2070N
    Brother MFC-420CN
    HP Color Laserjet CP2025dn
    Each printer is plugged into each of the 3 ethernet ports and not the WAN port. I didn't have any problems using my Netgear WGT624 wireless router, so I don't know why the AExBS is giving me such a headache. Is there something simply I'm missing in the instructions? Can anybody tell me if I'm missing something here?

    Now I have managed to delete all but my directly connected USB printers in the Print & Fax area of my System Preferences. What gives?
    I thought this was going to be straight forward. They don't even address hooking up ethernet printers in the manual. I've looked over the web and see other people having the same problem, but their original setup appears to be different and/or more difficult.

  • MacBook SLOW to Find & Connect to New Extreme

    I recently bought a new Airport Extreme base station to replace my Airport Express. Now each time I wake my MacBook Pro (OSX10.5.5), it takes an age to find and connect to the new base station.
    I have started to use the Join Other Network facility on the Airport menu (icon at top of screen). I open that and ask it to "Show Networks." Then my Extreme shows up, and I click on it, with the Remember This Network box checked.
    This works, but I do this over & over without any change in the speed of the connection process.
    Advice?

    Responding to my own problem post:
    I discovered that in Network Prefs, there is a panel that lists the sites that one has joined & wants remembered. Presumably, Airport looks for each of these in turn. The default order of the list is the order in which one has joined them. But it is possible to reorder the sites. When I moved my new Extreme Base Station to the top of the list, that solved my problem.

  • Using apple base station now, but the other 3 windows based computers couldn't find the printer connected to apple base station

    When I am trying to add a new printer on my iMac, the search result will show:
    HP Photosmart C6200 series
    and there is no problem to add this printer to the iMac.
    But when I am trying to add a new printer on my other windows based computers, the search result will show nothing. So I shared the printer on my iMac, and the search result will show:
    HP Photosmart C6200 series @ XXXXX's iMac
    and there is no problem to add this shared iMac printer to the windows based computers.
    I just don't understand. Can anyone explain this to me?
    Thanks a lot.
    Karen

    You and at least one other that I know of locally. All this happened after the latest Airport update.
    Interestingly, last week, three of us who use Mac laptops were unceremoniously dumped from our small office network's wireless router (non-Apple). When we tried to reconnect it kept asking for a password - none of the PC users are having this problem - and I HATE that!! Before this we all connected immediately with no problems.
    I'm still running my home-based Airport Extreme Base Station and Airport Express on a non-passworded network - the only way we can get online, still.
    Hope Apple wakes up and realizes there are a few problems with this release.

  • Problem consistently printing via new (summer 2011) AIRPORT EXTREME BASE STATION and Brother wireless printer (model HL5370DW). What am I doing wrong?

    Thanks in advance for any help you folks can offer. I'm a newb here and will try to offer as much detail as I can about the dilemma at hand.
    Scenario: Home network has been recently set up for wireless internet access via NEW Airport Extreme Base Station (purchased September 2011). Units accessing the network include: 2011 Macbook Pro, 2011 Macbook Air, 2007 Macbook, 2009 Macbook Pro, 2 iPhone 3GSs, and a 1st-gen iPad (and a partridge in a pear tree AEBS is configured to run WPA2 encrypted network, as well as a WPA2 guest network. I am attempting to yoke a BROTHER HL5370DW wireless B or G/ ethernet / usb-capable printer to the main network such that any and all units can print wirelessly or its equivalent (i.e., via printer hooked to AEBS through USB hub)
    Problem: Despite configuring the Brother printer to recognize the main WPA2 network I created, I am unable to get wireless printing to work. My workaround was to physically connect Brother printer to AEBS via USB, specifically using a Belkin USB hub (after all, I wanted access to usb drives, as well as the printer). This workaround works ONLY SOME OF THE TIME. Generally, after a fresh boot of any computer or after a restart of the AEBS, any given computer will be able to print (i.e., any computer wirelessly connected to the main WPA2 network recognizes the printer). HOWEVER, at random times, printer access is gone (as is access to USB drives connected to AEBS's usb hub). Wireless networks are still up and running when that happens. IS THERE A WAY TO GET THE USB HUB's devices (i.e., printer and usb drives) to ALWAYS REMAIN AVAILABLE AS LONG AS THEY STAY CONNECTED TO THE AEBS? In other words, what accounts for the intermittent loss of the usb peripherals?
    Sometimes, I just shut the airport off on whatever computer is having this problem, and the problem goes away. Sometimes, the problem is present across all computers in the house, sometimes only a few are affected. I can ALWAYS see the AEBS in the Airport Utility if the AEBS is connected to the particular computer via ETHERNET CABLE.
    My theories:
    - true wireless printing (i.e., without usb hub workaround) doesn't work because the N network somehow isn't backwards compatible with the Brother printer, which, i believe, is B/G. Although...isn't Wireless N networking supposed to work with BG devices? I did find a thread (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2570774?start=0&tstart=0 ) that explains some of the particulars of WPA2 encryption and Wireless B/G issues, but it was beyond my level of comprehension (I'm a psychologist, but not an Apple Genius
    - The usb workaround is only intermittently viable because of some flaw in the Airport or Airport Utility that causes dropouts to happen when a Macbook Pro or Air's lid gets closed or one gets opened after having been at a different network (e.g., at my office).
    QUESTIONS:
    - Should I try to use my old router (7 year old Linksys WRT54G) as an access point and connect the Brother printer to that G-router? How do I do that?
    - I wouldn't mind just relying on the usb hub method if I could just insure more consistency (i.e., no random dropouts of peripherals). How could I do this?
    Rule out:
    - wireless printing works on my printer - it was being recognized back before the AEBS. I had the Linksys router running a WEP network and had the wireless printer talking with no cables to the router and the computers. (I just don't want to revert to using WEP encryption given its lack of security and my trying to protect HiPAA related health information on behalf of patients)
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance!

    13 ASCII characters = 104 (aka 128)-bit WEP
    encryption
    If turning off WEP works, then you just need to
    provide the cameras with the "Equivalent Network Password".
    One of the problems with WEP is that the actual
    standard relies on a 10 character HEX key for 40bit
    WEP and a 26 character HEX key for 128bit WEP.
    In order to make things easier, vendors use certain
    algorithms to convert simple alphanumeric passwords
    (or passphrases) into HEX keys, thus enabling the use
    of simple easy to remember WEP password rather than
    lengthy HEX keys. The problem is that different
    vendors use different algorithms to generate the HEX
    key and therefore a ASCII password on an AEBS will be
    hashed differently on a non-Apple client and vice
    versa.
    You may find the following article helpful:
    - Apple article, especially the part about
    "Third-party client to Airport".
    Brilliant idea about trying the system with No encryption on... that DID solve the problem... almost.. once I turned off the encryption option, and restarted the Airport, I got a dialog box showing that the "Base station needs attention" but it didn't indicate WHAT kind of "assistance" it needed. Nonetheless, I closed out of the Airport program only to find that the indicator light, which had been Green, was now, flashing Yellow and I could not connect anything, including my computer. I opened the Airport program again and found the ONLY way I could get the Green light on was to select some sort of encryption option... then the light would go Green again but my cameras would not hook up again, and when I went back in and ONLY changed the option to NO encryption, I got the yellow flashing light and the "this base unit needs attention" warning...
    I think your suggestions are almost on the mark... is there any way of reconciling the WEP coding between the cameras and the Airport??? Or turning off the encryption option and STILL have Airport work?
    Thanks again for your help and suggestions... I really appreciate it.

  • Can't print wirelessly with HP 7410 printer using Airport Extreme

    I've got 3 Macs (2 laptops, one desktop) that I was using successfully with my wireless HP 7410 all in one printer using my old Airport Base (snow) Station (822 b & g). Just upgraded for a variety of reasons to the new Airport Extreme Base station and I have NOT been able to get the printer to print wirelessly.
    I have tried all available normal methods, including, but not limited to:
    1) resetting and restarting the printer and computer
    2) installing new printer software, including driver
    3) deleting and reinstalling printers using the "print and fax" system preference
    4) using the printer on a non-secure network
    5) setting up the printer to connect via IPP and LPP
    The end result of all of this is that the printer is attached to the network, but the computer (any of the 3) cannot connect to the printer. When I run the HP setup assistant, it cannot "find" the printer.
    Everything was working perfectly before I "upgraded." Why am I not able to print with the new base station?
    Your help would be greatly appreciated.

    I have the same proble trying to print. I have a Mac and 2 PC laptops. I tried to print to three different printers and it will not work. I called Apple support and I was told that it was set up and configured correctly, that it ust be my firewall blocking the printer. I'm at a loss after $179.00 and three hours of trying to get it to work.

  • Error 9672 when trying to print using airport extreme

    I have just purchased a new imac running os x 10.5.1 and an airport extreme base station. I have a canon pixma mp530 printer and have on occasions successfully printed using the printer with the airport extreme but it has been inconsistent and I have never been able to locate the printer drivers in the utilities folder. So I thought I would download the latest drivers located in the canon website claiming that they were os x 10.5.1 compatible. Now I am unable to add the printer to my printer list in the finder as I get a 9672 error message and my screen freezes and I still have no printer in the utility folder. I have a ibook running tiger and the printer when connected to both the ibook and the imac using a firewire works perfectly. Has anyone else had these problems using a printer wirelessly or is there something I am missing. The internet works with base station with no problems.

    Despite being a total newbie, I good the damned thing to work--At least for now.
    I first unplugged the airport and then the printer. Plugged them both back in and then went to Canon's site to redownload the drivers. Restarted the Macbook pro and to my astonishment it worked. Again, at least for now.....

  • Printing wirelessly to MacBook Pro with Airport Extreme Base Station

    I have an Airport Extreme Base Station that I used to use wirelessly until I got Verizon Fios. The Fios technicians said the base station couldn't be used and so it's been sitting unused for a few months. However, I really, really miss printing wirelessly, and was wondering if it was possible to use the Airport Extreme Base Station ONLY to print wirelessly, and not connect it any way to my internet (I don't want to mess with any of the fios stuff at all).
    If it's not possible, is there any other way to print wirelessly without purchasing another product or special printer. I have a HP c4480 printer.
    Thanks!

    If your printer has a USB cable the easy way to go about this in my opinion is to plug that USB cable into your Extreme base station. I have the Extreme ABS that looks like a flying saucer. I plug the usb cable into the port that has the symbol that doe NOT look like this <--> rather it looks like a Saguaro cactus.
    My computer then sends print documents to the Extreme via WiFi and then Extreme sends them to the printer via the USB cable.
    If your Airport status is not showing in the Mac's menubar go to system Prefs/Network/Airport and check a little box so it will show up in the menu bar.
    Now if your Extreme is plugged in the wall and powered up your Mac should be able to find it. Click on that menubar item for Airport and scroll down and select your Airport Extreme. I don't know for sure what its name will be. It should still be the same as it used to be when you used it last.
    Now try printing a simple document. In the print dialog window you should be able to select what printer you want to use. If your new Extreme printer is listed select it. You may need to click on Print & Fax and figure out how to select it from there, and choose it to be the new default printer.
    I think this info will do the job. Whenever you want to print you have to go to the Airport icon in the menubar and change your airport connection from your Verizon stuff to your Extreme. Then of course you have to change back when you are done. That is why it would be great to toss the Verizon WiFi radio out the window and just plug your Verizon modem into your Extreme WiFi radio transceiver (router). But I understand you cannot deal with that at this time.
    If this does not do the job, if I have missed something, I will bet you 5 bucks that you can still figure it out if you just look at any error messages and/or look at the Print&Fax prefs and the Print dialog windows etc. and see what I may have missed. Maybe you have to go to SystemPrefs/Sharing and allow your printer to be shared. I don't think so. The way I figure any of this stuff out is to just look at stuff and think and try things and see what happens.
    Your Verizon setup should be something like this.... a cable comes into your house and goes to a 'modem'. From there and ethernet cable (CAT-5 cable) goes from that modem to your Verizon router (WiFi radio transceiver).
    As for getting rid of the Verizon router, when you are ready to give it a go, simply unplug the ethernet cable (it has a plug on the end that looks like the kind of plug that telephones use to plug into the wall, except it is a bit wider, but still has that same kind of snap-lock tab) that comes from the Verizon modem (the modem has the heavy round cable and probably many blinking lights) and plug it into the Extreme. Mine has an icon on the Extreme that is many dots in a circular pattern.
    At this point you may have to unplug the Verizon modem form the wall AC power and the Extreme also. Then plug them back in, wait a minute, go to your Airport icon on your Mac menubar, Select Extreme and start surfing the web.
    It really is that simple with a Mac. Maybe Verizon has found a way to make things difficult but my guess is no. Any password should be taken care of in your Airport Setup Utility program. It should be the same password(s) as you used before when you used your Extreme.

  • Printing from OS9 to USB printer on Extreme Base Station. Possible?

    Is finding the printer possible at all from a machine running OS9 which is connected to the Airport Extreme base station via an ethernet cable? Are there no workarounds?
    The printer is an Epson Styles C84 (on the list of compatible printers) and it does show on the iMac G5 through rendezvous. Is it possible to do it through USB print sharing on one of the machines so all on the LAN can see?
    I have read were the requirements to print are OS 10.2.x, but some times requirements can be circumvented. Obviously, upgrading the system is a gimme, but we're talking about parents who are set in their ways and hesitant about re-learning a new OS when they feel comfortable with one that took them a while to get used to.
    Troy

    It is not possible to print directly from a Mac running OS 9 to a printer connected to the Base Station. There is a convoluted workaround as follows:
    If you happened to have two computers on your network, one running OS X and another running MacOS 9 you could:
    - set up the Mac running OS X to print to the printer connected to the Extreme Base Station
    - set up the Mac running OS X to "share" that printer
    - set up the Mac running OS 9 to print to the "shared" printer on the Mac running OS X per:

  • Problem w/ my Airport Extreme Base Station & Canon i250 Printer

    Hi All...
    Well, I'm at my wits end...before I call AppleCare, I thought I'd post on here to see if any of you had similar issues or problems with what I'm having, and maybe a resolution(?)...
    First of all, I've been using this same setup for the past 1 1/2yrs, and never had a problem with it until lately.
    I cannot print reliabily over wireless to the Canon, only through the Ethernet/LAN jack.
    Here is my setup...
    - Airport Extreme Base Station (w/ telephone jack) and Firmware 5.7
    - Powerbook G4 12" w/ Mac OS X 10.4.5
    - PC Notebook (HP Pavilion ZV6000) w/ Windows XP and Broadcom 802.11b/g/128 Pre-N
    - Canon i250 Inkjet Printer (was originally a free printer..worked very well over the years)
    Originally, everything was working very reliably and I never had problems... I'm "guessing" something has changed (firmware?) that has caused any print jobs sent from either the PC or Mac to pause half way through a page and hang the printer. The computer (usually the Mac) will say it is having difficulty "reaching the Canon i250".
    I've one a Hard Reset on the AEBS and that has not fixed it. I've not tried Interference Robustness yet but am not sure it will work. I do not have any problems using Wireless otherwise--only with printing, and nothing has change in the setup since I first got the AEBS (except maybe firmware).
    Does anyone have any suggestions or insight as to what exactly could be the problem?
    Is this a bug in Firmware that I'm not able to find?
    Thanks so much for your response(s).

    Delete your printer using Printer Setup Utility and
    add it back. Does the performance improve?
    No it didn't... I deleted, re-installed twice and still nothing new...
    However, if I'm printing directly from my tower (WinXP Tower) over LAN, it works fine...but does not work at all through wireless.
    For a year or so, I've never had a problem and nothing has changed in this setup. I think the culprit might be the last AEBS firmware update.
    I've troubleshot everything I can think of and still having issues printing...

  • Help - Kodak 5300 printer doesn't work w/ Airport Extreme Base Station

    Hi All,
    Running a MacBook on OS 10.4.11 (airport extreme card) and an I-Book on 10.3.9 (airport card) - just bought an airport extreme base station and a Kodak 5300 all-in-one printer. Base station works fantastic with internet and both CPUs. Kodak printer works great when directly connected to laptops by USB. When printer connected to USB port on Base station it recognizes printer but wont print. Set-up printer with Bonjour settings - but printer won't print with WiFi. "Printer not responding" window appears. Have phoned Kodak support. They tell me the printer should work on Wi-fi but I should contact Apple. Have phoned Apple support - they're stumped. Kodak website recommends using a Silex wireless router with this printer and claims it is compatible - so it can handle wireless set-ups.
    Has anyone out there had success with the Kodak 5300 and the Airport Extreme Base Station? It's a great printer that uses very little ink (inexpensive cartridge replacement). I really don't want to fall back on my old Epson.
    Thanks for any thoughts/solutions.

    Hi Ron! Thanks for checking inside Kodak. I agree as a first printer from kodak it's a good one, and I certainly appreciate the attempt to buck the industry-standard of milking the customers on ink.
    However, I'm not willing to go buy a silex device, when I already HAVE a device: the apple airport. I also got a reply from kodak support indicating that they didn't want to comment on future products, etc etc. Maybe I'm misreading this by assuming product == hardware, but I'm certainly not willing to ditch my current printer for a newer model for what I consider to be a DRIVER issue (I could be wrong of course). Maybe a firmware issue, but certainly not a hardware issue.
    What I expect from Kodak is a new driver and/or firmware that would make this work with the apple airport. On the one hand I can understand not wanting to divulge company secrets and upcoming "products", but for a newer driver, I would expect to hear a "we're aware of the problem and are working on a fix". That would go MILES towards making me more patient and less irritated with Kodak. Telling me to wait for newer "products" or go buy a silex is a good way to loose customers.
    So if you have any internal clout (or a message board), be sure to raise cain there for them to do the right thing.
    jan
    P.S. At the current time of writing, the silex website is not operational ("This site is temporarily unavailable. Please notify the System Administrator"). Way to go silex!

  • How do I find a hard drive connected to Airport Extreme Base Station?

    *Apple Says:* "If your base station supports it, you can connect a USB hard disk to the USB port on your base station and computers on your network (both wired and wireless) can connect to it to access, share, and store files and data."
    Cool. So I followed the instructions. The drive is recognized by the base station and listed in the Airport Utility. It looks like it's ready to go...
    So... How do I access the drive? I don't see it on my desktop, it's not under network. I've tried "Connect to server..." and browsing, I can't see the drive, anywhere. Yeah, I've searched the crap out of this issue on google and this message board as well as apple support knowledge base. I'm sure this is a simple issue and I'm just missing the obvious. Help me out.

  • Why can I no longer print from my Windows XP computers to my Bonjour connected Canon printer thru an Airport Extreme Base Station (f/w 7.6.4, model A1301)?

    Something has changed recently and I haven't figured it out.  My 2 Windows XP computers are no longer able to print via Bonjour.  I have tried removing and reinstalling Bonjour.  Upgrading the firmware on the AIrport Extreme Base Station and comparing Port settings from an able to print Windows Vista laptop.  Port settings match and Bonjour says it sees the printer...but the communication is not happening between the computer and the networked printer, it times out and produces an error in the print que.  Both XP computers have no problem using the internet via the Base Station.  One is wired and one is wireless.  Thoughts?

    Sounds a bit like a problem being discussed in this thread:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2651093&tstart=0
    I suspect some kind of update is at fault. Like you, my printer/base station setup had been working fine until recently.

Maybe you are looking for
