PC cannot see AE network (but 2 Apple Laptops can)

Hello,
Recently I purchased AE (well today) and MacBook Pro 10.7.3 running Lion.  Apple laptops can see network and access internet with no problems, however, PC cannot.  I used Aiport Utility assistant for install.  Guide mentions using set up assistant to create a new wireless (seemed to create on initial install).  What am I mssing?  Per set up guide I am to choose "manual set up" from the "base station" menu.  This option is not there.  Getting frustrated if it is an error between the keyboard and my seat.
I did open base station password and located the 63 hexidecimal WPA security key which I added to the PC and it still didn't work.  Kind of hard to tell if the security key is using an "l" or a "1" so maybe I have the wrong security key?
Any help is greatly appreciated as I need to get this going before tomorrow (need wifi for work).
Thank you in advance.
Suzanne

    "My Windows 7 Dell will see Airport network but will not connect" Can anyone help me out with this?
    Thanks,

    Yes, I have the Airport utility installed on the Windows 7 dell.

  • MacBook Pro can't see Airport network but three other macs in house can

    Very strange. I can connect my three iMacs (G3, G5 PowerPC and G5 Intel) to my Airport Extreme Network, but my MacBook Pro can no longer see the Network, and Airport utility (from MacBook Pro) cannot see the Airport base station (although other macs' Airport Utility can no problem). My MacBook pro can see 4 other networks (my neighbours' networks). Doesn't seem to be a problem with my MacBook Pro airport card as I can connect to the (non-Mac) wireless network at work with no problem. Am really confused (not the first time)!
    Installed the latest Airport Extreme firmware last week, which was the start of the problem, as I then lost the ability to connect to my Virgin Media Broadband digital TV box, necessitating Virgin engineer visiting at weekend to connect a cable modem to the cable tv box, to which the Airport Extreme station is now attached. Had problems connecting my MacBook Pro last night, but eventually managed it. All other macs connect seamlessly. Am stumped.

    I'm troubleshooting a friend's MacBook (Model ID: MacBook4,1) that is having serious Airport problems. This machine's Airport can't see ANY available networks. Sitting right next to my MacBook (identical model), hers is blind while mine can see several open and locked networks including my own Airport base station. If I choose to "Join Other Network..." and enter the network name and password for my network, her machine almost immediately gives me a "Connection timed out" error. It doesn't matter where her MacBook is, it can't see any networks anywhere.
    This is a new problem as her Airport was working fine for the first few months. I've just finished making sure all software updates have been applied so she's now running the latest-greatest, but still no Airport.
    This sounds similar to the problems other folks here are describing so I figured I'd add my voice to the chorus. I guess I'll take her machine down to the local Apple store this afternoon and see if they have any ideas. At this point I wouldn't be surprised if her Airport card was fried.

  • LifeDrive cannot see my network

    My network is working, I can use my laptop wirelessly.  However, I cannot see my network on my LifeDrive, as though it is not receiveing it, although I seem to be able to see other networks.  I have tried setting the router to .11b only, changed the channel all to no avail.  Any ideas?
    Post relates to: LifeDrive

    A few things to try:
    Cycle power to your router, soft reset the LD, make sure your router is set to broadcast the SSID (and not "invisible" ).
    Your router has a name that is different from any around you, right?  (Not all called "Linksys" or "Netgear" for example)

  • HT1595 I have 6 other apple devices that have no problem connecting to my network, but my Apple TV will not

    I have 6 other apple devices that have no problem connecting to my network, but my Apple TV will not, any ideas?

    1: Unplug / shut off the router for 30 seconds
    2: Retore or unplug apple tv (If you unplug it, let it sit for 30 seconds as well)
    3: If all else fails try moving the ATV and router closer to each other, if nothing works I would consider it a defect as Apple products generally have great quaility and you never know what goes on behind warehouse doors!

  • HT201317 Cannot see photos in Photo Stream on laptop

    I can see my photos from my iphone on my computer but cannot see them in the photo stream on my laptop.  I have downloaded the icloud panel again and ticked the correct boxes etc. but cannot see them.  Both computer and laptop run Windows 7.  Does anybody know what is wrong?

    Hi JinnaWinkas,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Try these steps first if the Photo Stream on one of your PCs is not updating:
    you can't connect to the Internet, iCloud Photos will not be able to send or receive updates to My Photo Stream. If necessary, troubleshoot your Internet connection on your PC, Mac, or iOS devices.
    Open the iCloud Control Panel and make sure that you're signed in to the same iCloud account that you're using on your other supported devices.
    In Windows 8.1, go to the Start screen, click the down arrow in the lower-left corner, then click the iCloud app.
    In Windows 8, go to the Start screen, and click the iCloud tile.
    In Windows 7, choose Start menu > All Programs > iCloud > iCloud.
    Make sure that iCloud Photos or Photo Stream is turned on in the iCloud Control Panel. Click the Options button and make sure that My Photo Stream is turned on.
    Close and reopen the iCloud Control Panel.
    Restart your computer. This may sound simple, but it does reinitialize your network and application settings and can frequently resolve issues.

  • How can I get photoshop and Illustrator CS5? I cannot see it anywhere. My computer(PC) can only use CS5

    How can I get photoshop and Illustrator CS5? I cannot see it anywhere. My computer(PC) can only use CS5

    If you do not own a license for CS5 there is not much you can do to get it thru Adobe.  They only sell current versions of their software (CS6 or Creative Cloud).  You would need to find a third party vendor and take your chances with them.
    If you do own a CS5 license you can download the software thru the following page and use your serial number to activate:

  • Can see and recognize my wireless network and Internet is working, but I can't connect with ANY computers/iPad/iPod/air TV, etc. I have reset the time machine several times, and can see the network, but cannot access it with any device. PLEASE HELP!

    I have Comcast Internet and have it connected to a Motorla Surfboard modem and have that running directly to a 2TB Time Capsule. The TC is serving as our time machine as well as our wireless router. We lost power in a storm a week ago and can no longer connect to my wireless network I can see the network and sign into it via password, but cannot connect with any device(iMac, MacBook, iPhones, iPod touches, air tv, etc.). ALL of these devices worked gat before the power went out. I reset both modem and TC and still can't connect. I can connect to the Internet through Ethernet cord directly from the modems dn have confirmation(per Comcast service) that the Internet is working and we have a good connection.
    The TC is less than six months old so I'm not sure what is wrong. I have reset settings with TC to no avail. I have reset the TC SEVERAL times and have no idea what could be wrong and what is prohibiting me from connecting. Anyone that has ANY suggestions or ideas as to how to fix this, PLEASE HELP!!!  I'm going crazy using iPad 3G and not being able to connect to our wifi. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME AND I LOOK FORWARD TO GETTING BACK TO THE 21ST CENTURY! 

    Anyone have any ideas or information to help with this?  Any help and consideration is MUCH appreciated.

  • Cannot see "all" iTunes movies on Apple TV but can Air Play all of them?

    Hi all.
    I have a Mac Mini running Mountain Lion (Now Mavericks but had the same issue before today) with a Pegasus R6 drive storing my iTunes library. The issue I am having is when I go to either one of my Apple TVs about 90% of the movies in iTunes show up in the list. I have re installed the Apple TV OS as well as had one of the units replaced. I don’t get the issue with photos, music, TV shows etc just the movies. Originally I thought it may have been wrong format as there is a combo of DVD rips using Pavtube BD ripper (encoded for Apple TV) and some from my Sony Action Cam but there is nothing consistent about the ones not showing. The strange thing is when I locate these movies that are not listed in iTunes and use the airplay feature to send it to the Apple TV it has no issues at all? As a side note I had the same issue on my old network but not have 4 brand new Airport Extremes and this mini was a replacement for an iTunes that had the same issues so I don’t think its OS.
    Any thoughts wonderful people?

    James Ward4  Thanks for your suggestion.  I have tried the video app and it appears to have some, but not all of the downloads which are viewable without wifi, so I will now review the download process and see if I can capture the missing episodes.  Thanks again.

  • Apple TV, cannot activate on network, but works after

    Our environment is a school.  We have a Sonicwall firewall and Lightspeed for content filtering.  We just purchased 50 Apple TVs.
    When we first turn on the Apple TV, we join it to our wireless network.  Then it gets stuck on setting date and time.  It gets stuck on setting date and time no matter of we are wireless or wired.
    So, I broke out my Verizon MiFi and joined the TV to the Mifi.  Once on my Mifi, the TV works perfectly, sets up and rocks and rolls.
    Then we take it off of the Mifi and join it bac to our network and it works perfectly.
    So, we only have to use the Mifi for the first boot up and initial time sync.  After that, it works on our network just fine.
    Of course, I'm thinking the firewall is blocking something, but I don't know what to look for.  What ports does the initial activation use that it doesn't use after that?  Nothing is blocked outbound, but I'm guessing there is some return traffic that never makes it to the TV in that initial activation so I need to know what it is.
    Ideas?  Thoughts?  Suggestions?
    Thanks
    Cliff

    This might help:
    Apple TV (2nd gen.) saw my wireless network but did not accept my password (gave a network error message). It fixed instantly doing this:
    Made a note of the Apple TV's MAC address. Get it by pressing Menu on the remote, then Settings > General > About. It's called "WiFi address."
    Use your browser on a network connected computer to go to your router settings (usually 192.168.1.1).
    Under "Wireless > Wireless MAC Filter" (or something similar) do these steps:
    Enable Wireless MAC filter
    Enable "Permit PCs listed below to access the wireless network"
    Enter the Apple TV's MAC address
    Click "Save Setting"
    When I did this the network connection immediately started working.
    Note: These instructions are based on a Cisco Wireless-N Broadband, model WRT160Nv2, firmware v2.0.02.

  • I switched from an iPhone to a Galaxy s4.  Everything seems ok except text messaging with people who have an iPhone.  I can send them a text, they can see it, but I cannot see what they text back.  What can I do please?

    I just switched from an iPhone to a Galaxy 4S and I like it except for text messaging.  I can text, they can see it, but I cannot see their response if they are using an iPhone.  Can you help me with this?  What do I do please?

        Congratulations on your new phone kathdogg! Now let's get your messaging working correctly. If you still have your old device, turn it on, go to settings, and turn off iMessaging.
    If you are no longer in possession of your old device, you will need to remove your phone number from your Apple Support Profile. This can be done here: http://bit.ly/1cst2SC
