Playing WMV over a wifi network

I have flip4mac installed and it works fine locally, however. When I stream WMV from my windows PC to my mac QT takes literally minutes to start playing them. I get the application not responding message often.
The confusing part is that it's not due to the network being slow, I can copy and paste the file over the network before quicktime start playing it.
Any ideas?

Nevermind... we think it's a networking issue.

I have an IPAD 2 that I use to view an IP camera over a Wifi network. The Ipad is in a vehicle that leaves the Wifi range and then returns to the range. Upon returning to the range, the Ipad has trouble connecting to the network. (30 seconds)

I have an Ipad 2 that I use to view an IP camera over a Wifi network. The Ipad is in a vehicle that leaves the Wifi range and then returns to the range. Upon returning to the range, the Ipad has trouble connecting to the network. (30 seconds) The Ipad will eventually connect to the network, but by this time the driver is frustrated. I have moved the antenna to within 20' of where the vehicle comes to a stop. My Iphone does not have a problem connecting or reconnecting when used side by side with the Ipad. Both the Ipad and Iphone have Otter box covers. Has anyone run into this problem or have any suggestions?

30 seconds to reconnect to a WiFi network is not unusual, especially in an environment where other radio signals on similar frequencies are present. Sorry about that.
You might get better times by letting the WiFi base station pick another channel. But you might not.

I can't backup to iCloud over my wifi network but I can over other wifi networks

Several days ago, I noticed that I am no longer able to backup my iPhone 5 over my wifi network. It tries to backup for a while and then says "The last backup was unable to be completed." I figured it was a bug with iOS 6 so didn't really worry about it. Then I was at my girlfriend's house and was able to backup my phone to iCloud over her wifi network. Does anyone know why I can backup on hers but not mine? Also strange that I was able to backup on my network at first and then suddenly stopped being able to. Thanks for your help!

I am having the same issue, mine stoipped working on October 4th. I am running mountain lion and I phone 5. I do not know what the issue is at all. Have a brand new macbook pro retina 15. Not sure what the issue is but I hope someone can help us both.

Apple TV does not connect to internet over the WiFi network

I recently bought an Apple TV and hooked it up to my Sony 46" HD LCD TV.
My desktop is an iMac running Mac OSX Leopard
I have created a WiFi network using the AirportExpress conected to an ADSL router.
The wireless network is working fine and I have access to internet through my iMac or other PC and Apple laptops.
Yesterday, I tried installing my new AppleTV following the little instruction book. My problem is that while the AppleTV detects my network (it shows up as the network) and on choosing this network connects to the network but gives a message that it has not connected to internet.
As a result while it synchronises with iTunes on my iMac, it fails to download from the internet directly. I am unable to upgrade to the latest version or play YouTube or images from my MobileMe account or log on directly to the iTune Store.
I have tried figuring out the problem but unable to do so. Thanks for your help.

I am having a similar (or identical) problem. I have a network running on my airport extreme. My imac and my girlfriend's laptop can connect to the internet without issue. The apple tv finds my network and reports that it connects, yet it doesn't seem to. I cannot access trailers or youtube, cannot update, and cannot play purchased content. I reset the apple TV, but that did not solve the problem. Should I reset the airport extreme?

I cant print over my wifi network with Yosemite

Hi, I've just installed OS X 10.10 on my Macbook Pro and my wife's Macbook Air and we've lost our printers on the wifi network. Internet seems to be working fine over the wifi (120 mb/s) and if i plug the computers in to the LAN connections on the router then I can see the printers OK and printing is fine. Any ideas?Thanks

My HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus all-in-one doesn't scan over my wife network anymore

I have a wi-fi network in my home which works fine for internet on my laptop, and I used to be able to both print and scan over this network just fine. I can still print using the network, but can no longer put stuff into the document feeder and go back to the laptop and use the scan function. The scan function actually no longer even appears on the icon I used to have for it, only the print function.
The scan function does not appear in my device manager (control panel), in either the image devices or the printer devices area.
I have tried to uninstall and reinstall this device several times in many different ways and even tried to obtain the updated driver from the internet. I was successful a few months ago in reinstalling the device and retrieving the ability to control the scanner from the laptop. Now I can only reinstall the printer function, periood.
How can I get back the scanner function on my laptop to use over my wi-fi network? Of course my warranty for service expired earlier this year.

Good day and welcome to the forums, @MSRantal
I read about how you can no longer scan over the network from your Officejet 8600 Plus, to your laptop, and I will do my best to help you out. I have some questions to get started.
I would like to know:
Which operating system you are running on your laptop?
Are you able to scan to another computer over the network?
Have you tried plugging in a USB to the laptop and scanning?
If yes, did a USB connected scan work?
Have you tried scanning after disabling your firewall and/or anti-virus?
When you install the printer, do you see any error messages (or does the install completed successfully)?
If you do not have your printer plugged in directly to a wall outlet, try that.
Hoping to hear from you!
Happy Tuesday!

"printer not connected" error over a wifi network

I have a HP CP2025N laser printer that has been happily working on my Apple network. Now all of a sudden I keep getting a "printer not connected" error.
I reset the network to no avail.
I am running Lion, the printer is connected via an ethernet cable on a Apple Express routter that extends an apple extreme. Again this configuration has been running for two years now.
Any help would be appreciated.

If the printer works with AirPrint, you don't need the EPSON software and you should remove it. Then see below:

HT4889 I started a migration over a WiFi network. It is SO SLOW!

I just learned I could have connected the two computers via a Firewire cable. Can I safely terminate the migration, and restart it using the Firewire connection to speed things up?
Does the Migration Assistant REMOVE the files from the source computer? Or just copy them?

12. At a WiFi hotspot, you can't get connected. The most frequent reason is the login screen for the WiFi hotspot is only able to be connected with a single type of browser. If Safari doesn't work, try Firefox, Chrome, Omniweb, or Opera.

I don't want to send my credit card details over a wifi network

How I can access the ibookstore through my internet connection at home?

You could log into iTunes on the PC and set up a payment method with your credit card. Then connect to the book store on the Touch, make your purchase, then in iTunes set the payment method back to none.

Live audio streaming over wifi network

What I would like to know, is it possible to stream live audio over a wifi network.
PC A records a stream from a mic and then simultaneously broadcasts that same stream live over the entire wifi network, sorta like a radio station only on a much smaller and simpler scale.
Is this possible?

It seems like I'm missing something with icecast. If I understand it correctly then you can only play an existing media file, no real time live broadcasting?
I have finished setting it up and can listen in over the network, but I need real time broadcasting. Is there a way to do this in icecast or should I look at something else.
SYNOPSIS:
While someone is talking over the mic the server records the stream with Audacity for editing later on. The problem is that I want this stream to be simultaneously streamed live to another PC so that people next door to the meeting can hear it real time, no delays. A few seconds delay is not critical, but I cannot record and hour long session and then broadcast it, it has to be real time.
To complicate things, there is no internet available, we are in the middle of nowhere on a secluded convention centre, so that is why it seemed to me like the easiest would be to broadcast via WIFI.

Play pics on wifi network on ipad picture frame function

I have all my pics saved on my time machine back up and want to play them all over my wifi network on my ipad2 picture frame function. Since the ipad2 is wireless I figured there might be away. I really don't want to store all those pictures directly on the ipad2.
Thanks

Time machine, wifi network, external hard drive

I currently backup, (over my wifi network using Backup), to an external hard drive which is directly connected to my Airport Extreme base station. I've upgraded to Leopard and would like to do this with Time Machine. However, even though my external hard drive shows in the finder under shared devices, the Time Machine set up window doesn't seem to find it. What am I doing wrong; how can I fix this?

Using a third-party USB drive connected to an AEBS is currently unsupported. If you happen to have the newest AEBS you can modify it to allow backups to unsupported devices. If you have the 802.11n AEBS then this update from Apple will enable backups to USB connected drives.
Obviously Leopard is a requirement.
Alternatives:
Use the Terminal and enter the following command line:
defaults write com.apple.systempreferences TMShowUnsupportedNetworkVolumes 1
Press RETURN.

Time Machine backup not syncing after changed wifi network

I have an AirPort Extreme wireless router and have been backing up over my wifi network using an added hard drive on the USB port. I recently had to restore the AirPort Extreme and changed the password for the wireless network and now Time Machine wants to completely reformat the hard drive and start over.
Does anybody know how to bypass this and just continue to add to the current backups?

Well I can have a go at answering you questions
Is it necessary to upgrade to OSX Server if I wish to use the server a Time Machine target for Mabooks running Mountain Lion?
I'm not sure about this one as it didn't check before I upgraded my server to Mountain Lion but I would be suprised if a Lion Server (10.7.4) could not back up a Mountain Lion (10.8) client
If I do upgrade to OSX Server, is it also necessary to upgrade all the Macbooks to Mountain Lion?
No, I am running a mix of 10.8 and 10.7.4 clients with a 10.8 server and they all backup with Time Machine.
Is OSX Server stable enough to bother with at this time?
This is a very subjective area - my server is running well using Mountain Lion, it's not used heavily as it's mainly for backing up a few clients, running the built in wiki, web server, calendar and contacts. It's running fine and I like the additions enough to put up with the bugs [single sign on / kerberos is the one impacting me]. However if you search here you can find other who are having many more issues. This one is a personal choice you'll have to make.
For the server app, you have to run the same version across the server and the client to use it, you can always use screen share to get to the server and run the server app directly on the server. This is what I do when using a 10.7.4 client.
Hope this helps with you decisions.

How can Mac Pro (late 2013) create a WiFi network for Mac Books to connect to internet?

I am moving my Mac-Pro (late 2013) to a garden office. I have an ethernet cable to connect it to the house network. I also have a Mac Book Air which will only connect to a network by WiFi. I can use this Mac-Pro to create a WiFi network and the MacBook can talk to the Mac Pro over this WiFi network. But the Mac Book does not see the local network let alone the Internet, both of which are seen on the Mac Pro.
Is there a way that I can connect the created WiFi network to one of the two Ethernet cards in the Mac Pro?
Or what?
Tim

I have half cracked it.
For some reason the first step it to turn internet sharing off.
Then internet sharing can be configured and the wireless network set up and given a password.
Then, and then only, turn internet sharing back on and turn WiFi ON. All this is on the Mac-Pro (late 2013).
Now the Mac Air sees the new network and can log on and connect to the WAN internet locations, at least via Safari.
BUT if I use Finder on the Air, it will connect to the Mac Pro but it will not display what is on its disc. Though I can do screen sharing. Odd.
Also Air-Drop has stopped working, so there is no means of transferring files between the Pro and the Air.
I am going away now for a few days and will revisit this on my return.
Thanks for your help.
