Pc connects to airport, ipad won't

I just connected my Airport Extreme to a new modem. The Airport app on my phone said I needed to update the firmware, so it is now using version 7.6.1
My PC running windows 7 connects wirelessly to the internet using airport (as it did before), but all my apple devices (iPhones and iPads) won't connect. The airport app on my phone shows all the devices as having excellent connections, but none of them will connect to the internet. When I go to wi-fi on those devices and choose my network, the indicator just spins and spins and spins. Some of the devices are running 6.0.1 and some are running 5.1.1 None of them work. Has anyone else had this issue?
Thanks!

External HD connected to Airport - Mac won't see it

Just bought an external HD (Lacie 2big tripple) and connected it to the airport extreme via USB.
The HD won't appear on my Mac (MacBookPro). The disk utility won't find it.
The Airport utility recognizes the HD (giving correct information about size and free space), but that's all.
When I connect the HD directly to the computer (either via FireWire or USB) everything works. The HD apears on the desktop. By the way:When I initialized the disk and copied some stuff from the computer's HD to the external one I used the wired fire wire connection.
Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

So, after several hours of fight I reached the follwing status:
- have this disc now as a folder of the "shared disk" airport base station
- - the disc utility won't recognize it
- the time machine is not able to make new copies altough a partition was configured previously (when wired)
At least I can use the storage for my media files, but my intention is to see and use the disk in the same way as if it would be conected via wire to the computer (as in the previuos post).
So can somebody share his/her expericences with an external HD connected via the Airport Extreme?
I mean
- can you see it in the disk utlitility
- can you see it in the finder as a "normal" drive as it ws connected by wire and not as a folder of a shared disk
- can you make a partition for the time machine purposes?
- can you see it

Canon MP500 connected to AirPort Extreme won't communicate with my desktop

My Canon Pixma MP500 (which we really like) is connected to my new AirPort Extreme Base station via the USB port. My PC is attached via network cable to the base station. I have a MacBook. When printing to my printer from my PC, the printer doesn't communicate back to the PC that it is printing. Plus, I have lost the ability to determine the ink levels. I'm sure all of this is tied to bidirectional communication between the printer and the computer. Both of my computers (desktop PC and MacBook) print to the printer with no problem, but I have lost the other features. I can't scan on my printer now with the MP Navigator software. For example, when I print from the pc, there is an error message that the printer is not available, even though it prints ok.
Is there any way to leave the connection the way it is and to modify the AirPort Utility software to allow the bidirectional communication with the printer? Any other advice? I bought the AirPort Extreme base station to have printing from my MacBook, now I think I have mis-spent the money.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
interestingly enough I have the very same problem with a Canon MP830. My Windows PC and MacBook Pro running XP as well will happily print but there is no feedback.
But I also had this problem with different non-Apple access points with integrated print server. So this seems not to be a special Airport Extreme problem.
Canon support told me to buy a Silex print server.
Hope someone can resolve this.
Regards,
Wolfgang

Did you check your wifi settings and do a reboot?

IPad is connected to Airport, but Safari says not connected to Internet?

I'm hoping someone can suggest something for me. We had a power outage last night, and when the power came back and I got the Airport working again our iPad won't connect to the internet. I don't think the problem would be in the Airport, since the computer is connected wirelessly also and is connecting OK. I have tried renewing the lease, turning the wi-fi off and back on, forgetting the network and reestablishing the connection, and restarting the iPad, all to no avail. The IP address listed when I look at the iPad settings starts with 169 - from what I've read that means it's not connecting correctly. Is there anything else I can try to get it working?
Thanks in advance for your help!

I forgot to mention that, but I have done that as well.
An update: my husband took the iPad to McDonald's to see if he could connect there, and got the same message (Safari could not open the page because it is not connected to the Internet). I'm stumped!

I have an Airport Express and the pass code I used some time ago for my IPad won't work for my new IPhone 5S?

If you are sure that you are entering the correct password, then this sounds like an iPhone issue, so your best bet will be to post in the iPhone Support Community so that the experts over there can help.
Using iPhone
The best that we can do here is suggest that you start with the iOS support document Troubleshooting Wi-Fi Networks and Connections.

My iPad won't let me sign into my Apple ID when I try and download an app it asks for my id and password and when i type it in the iPad displays a message saying cannot connect to iTunes Store. However when i do this on my phone it works perfectly.

Has anyone else had this problem? If so how can I fix this?

Remember, any purchased item from the itunes store is forever associated with the Apple ID used to buy it. So when you get prompted for an ID/password and it doesn't accept it, then you are using the wrong ID.
Go to Settings>iTunes and App Stores, be sure it's logged into the ID you have set on the iphone (since that one seems to be connecting with the right ID). If you've done this, then you might wait a bit to see if the "cannot connect to .. store" message has to do with internet connections.

HT1695 Today for some reason my IPad won't fully connect to my iphone and tether. For instance under settings it shows next to "Wi-FiI'm connected to the Wi-Fi but at the top of the screen there is no connection symbol and in fact i am unable to load web

Today for some reason my Ipad won't tether properly. The iphone says it's connected and on the Ipad next to Wi-Fi in settings shows I'm connected but at the top left of the screen there is no connection icon and I cannot load and display web pages. My Ipad is about three weeks old and I have never had this problem before. I have rebooted but this did not solve my problem.
Any ideas?

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

Itunes 7 won't connect to airport express

i installed itunes 7.02 and now my airport express won't connect. I've read many of the discussions and have done all of the ipv6 recommendations etc. but to no avail. Very frustrated! Apple screwed up big time.

Help! ever since i downloaded itunes 7 for windows
(big mistake, as we all know) it won't connect to the
air port express. it sees it, attempts to connect,
but times out every time. anyone have any ideas?
I have the same problem on one AE unit that is more distant from the base but not on another. It also fails now to connect to Olive Musica in my main listening room. With these problems, I wonder whether an update fix can be far off?

I have a new Epson wireless printer connected and the iPad recognizes it but it won't print. What is AirPrint and how do I connect it?

I have a new Epson wireless printer connected and the iPad recognizes it but it still won't print. What is AirPrint & how do I connect to it?

Patti-
Is your Epson printer on Apple's list of AirPrint capable printers? See <http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356>.
If it is an AirPrint printer, then your WiFi router may not correctly handle Bonjour data required by AirPrint. Contact the router's manufacturer to see if there is a change to its setup or a firmware update, that will make it work.
One other possibility is that there could be a print job stuck in the iPad's print queue. Double click the iPad's Home button and a row of recent Apps will appear along the bottom of the screen. Scroll across and see if the Print Center is there.

I just bought a new pc and My laptop can connect to it but my airport utility won't recognize it. Even though it does connect to the internet about every 15 minutes the internet shuts off.

I just bought a new pc and for our internet connection we have an airport express. My laptop can connect to it but my airport utility won't recognize it. Even though it does connect to the internet about every 15 minutes the internet shuts off. What should I do?

If you've not yet tried, unpower the AppleTV for a minute or so and restart - this occasionally corrects issues.
If not and the software update seems to have caused an issue, go to the Settings menu and choose to Restore it (this will erase all settings) to reapply current firmware.
Alternatively try to do so via iTunes:

My iPad won't recognise my air printer, it is connected as I checked by typing in IP address into Safari, but when I try to print it just says cannot find any air printers.

my Ipad won't recognise my printer. It is connected as I have typed the IP address into Safari which confirms connectivity. Spoken with canon who suggest it it is a problem with IOS not recognising the functionality. When I try to print it says cannot find any air printers. Printer is working via LAN set up on my laptop. Don't want to have to spend £25 to speak to an apple support team. Has anyone else experienced this problem. Printer is a canon MG 3250.

A few things you could try:
Reboot your modem/router.
Turn your printer off then on again & make sure it's connected to the network.
Reboot your iPad holding down the home & sleep/wake buttons simultaneously until the apple logo appears then release & let the iPad boot up normally.
Try going into Settings on your iPad & select General->Reset->Reset Network Settings.

How do I access external hard drive connected to AirPort Extreme via iPad

Hello,
How do I access external hard drive connected to AirPort Extreme via iPad / windows laptop.
I donot have a Mac and I use windows laptop.

For your iPad, you will need an app, like FileBrowser, to access the external drive.
For your Windows laptop, you would access the drive like any other network share. The basic format is: \\<servername>\<sharename>, where, in this case, the servername is the base station name and the sharename is the name of the external drive.

Printer connected to Airport Express USB port won't come online after firmware 7.6 upgrade. I've tried backing up to 7.5.2, but it still shows offline. It is a Canon iP4600 printer and I'm running OS 10.6.8. I've powered everything down and still no go.

Printer connected to Airport Express USB port won't come online after firmware 7.6 upgrade. I've tried backing up to 7.5.2, but it still shows offline. It is a Canon iP4600 printer and I'm running OS 10.6.8. I've powered everything down and still no go. I've connected the printer directly to my MacBook's USB port and it works fine. Any suggestions?

I have an iP4500, which I assume is quite similar to your model.
I had to reset the printing system to get things printing again. Only takes a few minutes and no problems at all since I did it a week ago or so.
Plug the printer into the USB port on the Express and restart the printer.
Open System Preferences (gear icon on the dock) and then open Print and Fax
Right-Click in the printer area on the left and select Reset Printing System
Then click the + (plus) button at the bottom of the printer list to install the printer again.
