PS3 Slim not connecting to AirPort snow

hey all,
picked up a new PS3 slim the other day and am having a helluva time getting it connect to my AirPort. ive seen other posts about this all over but no solutions. ive tried all sorts of things (manual IP, powercycling, resetting passwords, inputting the PS3 MAC address into the airport, etc...) but it still wont connect via WiFi. anyone got a fix or can tell me what im doing wrong? thanks in advance.

i hooked up via ethernet and it works perfectly. id really like to get the wireless going tho. any help would be appreciated.

    Sorry, but no.
    Time Machine will backup your Mac, but not the hard drive attached to the AirPort Extreme.
    Time Machine will back up a hard drive only if it is attached directly to your Mac via USB or FireWire.

  • Iphone will not connect to airport express extended network - macbook and ipad will - Help

    Iphone will not connect to airport express extended network - macbook and ipad will without problems.
    iphone will connect to base station no problems, I've restored settings and started again but still the same, the iphone picked up the network for the last couple of months, but not now ?

    I'm having the same issue. My AExpress used to give a good signal strength on the far side of the house extending he network created by my Extreme. However, I've noticed lately that my iPhone does not receive the same strong signal it once did. AE has a green light, I've rebooted it, and my Extreme but there is no change in signal strength. Other than the green light, how can I tell if the Express is working if I don't get a good network signal?

  • Imac will not connect to Airport Extreme when configured WPA/WPA2

    Imac will not connect to Airport Extreme when configured WPA/WPA2
    Posted: Jul 5, 2007 8:22 PM Reply
    I just got my Imac to connect to the internet using my Airport Extreme but only by using WEP. I had my Windows XP SP2 machines connecting using WPA/WPA2 with no problem. The Imac will not connect using anything other than WEP, and 1 of the XP machines will not connect using WEP.(I have not tried the other XP machines) I had to set the Airport Extreme for an open network in order to let both computers access the shared hard drive and access the internet.
    I don't know what the problem might be and would appreciate any suggestions.
    MacBookPro, Imac   Mac OS X (10.3.9)   Fujitsu tablet PC, 2 XP desktops

    hehe...on the visuals. I figured it out already, and I have the old airport card. However, I did a chat with Apple support and while we were chatting I found a USB adapter with MAC drivers which will work. It is:
    Hawking Technology HWUG1A Wireless-G USB Adapter with Removable Antenna for Macintosh
    Manufacturer Part# HWUG1A
    That is the only adapter that actually does WPA/WPA2 that I can find that is for a Mac and not just an older USB that only does WEP. It surprises me that Apple does not have a USB product like this. Anyway, for $56 including shipping, I will have it by Monday or Tuesday. Pretty cool.
    Thank you so much for your assistance. It is appreciated.

  • PC not connecting to airport

    I have an airport snow that my ibook has been connecting to, but my Dell inspiron 600m can't. It reads the airport, but has limited or no connectivity and when I try to repair it's not reading the IP address. Any ideas?

    Most Windows laptops with built-in wireless have a switch which allows them to turn the wireless on and off in order to save battery power.
    Ensure that the switch is in the on position.
    Do you have WEP enabled?
    The problem you are having probably lies with the encryption key.
    Though for Airport Express and Extreme these guide should help.

  • Wireless iBook not connecting to Airport Express

    As in previous discussions i've seen, all of a sudden my iBook which i have used for quite some time now without any major problems will not find my airport express wirelessly, i am using a router and the same connection for my desktop (hardwired) and the desktop works 100%, i've even replaced the cable from the router to my Airport Express and when I take the very same cable that goes from the router to the AE but plug it straight into my iBook it works 100%, but when plugged into the "AE" the iBook is not finding it, or actually it does come up in the list of available wireless ports (I live in new York city so there's a bunch on there at any given time) but it does find mine automatically as it used to, but when I try to connect to it when i find it in the list, it says "There was an error joning the AirPort network"... if i hit 'try again' several times it it will evntually (somrtimes after 3 tries othertimes after 30 tries)... but even after it says in the menue bar that I am connected with 100% strength, nither iTunes Air tunes finds the AE connection nor Safari (which says "You are not connected to the internet.")
    At the browsers suggestion i then go to the network diagnostics and run through the prompts, until it gets to the 'Select AirPort network" window and nothing shows up.
    Then i tried the AirPort Admin utility and it does not find my base station either.
    My connection to the internet is 100% without the AE, so obviously something is wrong with my iBook airport card or the AE itself.
    Yesterday I uplaoded the newest software 6.2 then reset the AE and actually it worked 2 sessions, then I got back on later in the evening and was having all the same problems...
    so I read on these discussions that going back to 6.1.1 was what was helping others, well so far it has made no difference here.
    that said the signal that it did find after trying again and again and that does show up in the pulldown signal menue drops off eventually... and all this while still not being able to connect to the internet or airtunes wirelessly. and again all the while my connection on my desktop (hardwired through the same router) works 100% (I have verizon DSL and it's pretty great.
    THE AIRPORT EXPRESS GREEN LIGHT IS ON as well.
    I have not done a 'hard 5 second re-set" of the AE becuae i thought it might be difficult to imput all the settings all over again, since i did not set it up myself originally... is this my only choice? can some one give me any other ideas? thank you.

    Glen,
    I feel your pain buddy - same issue here. I have a PG G4 running AE as well. I have internet through Comcast which is coming from the wall, into the modem, and then to the AE. I have faced similar problems as you at least twice in the past three days. Tonight I went to check my e-mail after reading for a couple hours and my drop-down showed a check next to my network, the AE status light was green, and it looked fine. However, when I went to check e-mail I was not connected and same thing with internet. I finally launched Airport Admin Utility and my base station did not show up in the source list - hmmmm?
    I am a little concerned about this myself because it is frustration. If you push the reset button on your base station while it's still plugged into power and hold it down for five seconds it will go through a "hard" reset (keep in mind this is not the same as a "factory default" reset). Have you done this before? It takes about 45 seconds. When done and the status light is back to green, you can join the Apple network _______ (some strange numbers) from your airport drop down and then launch Apt. Admin Utility. When you double click on your base station from the admin utility it will come up with a list of profiles. It will allow you to select your previous saved profile from a list. Click on your previous profile, click OK, and the AE will reset with your previous settings. This has gotten mine back up and running, but it's a littl disconcerting that it's happened so much
    Any other thoughts out there? Anyone else having these problems and have suggestions for troubleshooting?

  • My itouch will not connect with airport even though I am entering the correct password

    I have not had any problems with my Apple airport modem until today.  When I went to use my I touch that I have been using for at least one year on the airport would not connect and my password that I have been using all along will not work.  Any suggestions?

    With some routers, during that first set up it asks you for the password, but what it really wants is the full security code, not the password.    I have seen this many times.  Go back to the router and get full code. It is usually a
    Ong meaningless string.  If you cannot find it, reset the router to make it generate a new one.  When you trymto join the network on the pad, use that and not the password.   See if that helps.
    By the way, once you join, it will remember, and you will not need the string again unless you do a full restore or 'forget' the network.

  • Old Airport card (b protocol) will not connect to Airport Express

    Hi,
    I have an one year old Intel IMac running OS/X 10.5.7 and recently bought the Airport express. Setup went smooth and fast and within 10 minutes it was working. I did all the software and firmware updates.
    Then I connected my wife's Windows laptop, network was detected and the password was accepted immediately so I got that connected as well.
    Last, but apparently not least, I tried to connect my G3 iBook running OSX 10.2.8 with an Airport card (not the extreme but the predecessor) so I could use that one in the garden but it will not connect.
    When I open the airport icon on the top of the screen then I see the network. If I select it and try to connect I have to enter a password. After a few seconds I get a message that "There was an error joining the selected Airport network".
    When I use the Airport Setup assistant to establish the connection if tells me that "the password you entered was incorrect".
    I was told that the Airport Express station is able to use a 801.11b protocol since that is what the old card uses.
    I checked the password, I used textedit to type it first and the 'cut and paste' but nothing seems to work.
    Long story but I hope I gave enough information for someone to resolve this problem for me. I cannot reply immediately to all replies but I will read them all.
    Thank you,
    Henk

    Hello CarreraHenk. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    When I open the airport icon on the top of the screen then I see the network. If I select it and try to connect I have to enter a password. After a few seconds I get a message that "There was an error joining the selected Airport network".
    Which wireless encryption standard are you using on your new 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station's (AXn) wireless network ... WEP, WPA or WPA2?
    For WPA, the minimum requirements are the AirPort Card & OS X 10.3.n. The AirPort Card will not support WPA2.

  • 1 Macbook Pro can not connect the Airport Disk Others OK!

    Have an airport Extreme with 1 Hard drive now installed. I have two Macbooks and a MacPro that can access the sharepoint fine but I have on Macbook Pro which will not connect, it seems that Finder just waits forever for a connection.
    What have I screwed up on the mac? Is there a plist or something I need to delete or reset?
    Thanks

    Problem solved it was the AEBS. Powered it down for 30secs then restarted seemed to solve the problem. Obviously Resetting it from the Airport Utility does not fully "Reset" it.

  • Devices not connecting through Airport extreme wired connection

    Hi
    I just got an Airport extreme to use as an extention of my existing network, and to plug some devices in so that they can connect to the internet for updates (Sony Blu-ray player, dish network receiver, slingbox)...
    my wireless is from a linksys/cisco wireless router (4-port) wrt310n, that is connected to my cable modem. The airport is set and has the green light showing. The blu-ray player and dishnetwork receiver are plugged into two of the ports. The blu-ray player says it can't connect to the internet. The dish network receiver says it is connected, giving ip address/submask, etc.
    If I take my macbook pro and turn off wireless and plug into the airport it will not connect to the internet.
    What have I not done to allow wired connection to the airport extreme to connect to the net?
    thanks
    David

    Thanks for the clarification of your setup.
    Unfortunately, the bottom line here is that this is not going to work.
    The ethernet ports on the Extreme will only be active if you configure the AirPort Extreme to "extend a wireless network". But, it can only "extend" a wireless network from another Apple router. It's not compatible for this purpose with your Cisco router or any other manufacturer's router.
    If you are unable to connect the AirPort Extreme to your router using an ethernet cable, you might want to take a look at a pair of ethernet powerline adapters to accomplish the same task by using the wiring in your home to transmit the ethernet signal.
    I should clarify that if you connect the Cisco and AirPort Extreme using ethernet, you would not use the "extend" setting on the AirPort Extreme. This is only used if the device is connecting to another Apple router.

  • Imac will not connect to airport lion

    I am using a 27" iMac and an Airport Extreme.  After installing Lion, and now 10.7.1, my iMac will still not connect to wifi.  I must do it manually - under all scenarios.

    From the menu bar, select
     ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Network
    Click the Assist me button and select Assistant. Follow the prompts. How far do you get?

  • My pc do not connect to airport express

    i just got an airport extreme, but my pc (sony vio) dose not connect to internet

    My first suggestion would be to go through the written set up guide that came with the extreme.  In a nutshell:
    Connect the extreme to your modem via an ethernet cable;
    Power up the extreme;
    If it doesn't start on its own, start your Airport Utility (make sure its up to date);
    Go through the steps to set up your wireless network;
    Make sure your PC is connected to the extreme with an ethernet cable or via WI FI.
    Voila!

  • Magic Jack Go not connecting to Airport

    Anyone have any suggestions on how to make this work? Connecting to Airport through Ethernet, but the Airport doesn't seem to recognize it or won't assign it an address. Don't have a problem on a NetGear router. Connects up immediately. Is there some way to force the Airport to see it?
    Thanks very much for any assistance.

    I may have figured out part of the problem. After searching thru the forums on macrumors, I came across Link: [this post|http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?p=4633185#post4633185].
    I changed my Firewall to allow all incoming connections, logged out and back in again, and magically everything worked again.
    I might have accidently set the program 'ipfw' to block incoming connections (or it's acting on it's own accord), and thus prevented the PowerBook from getting it's DHCP address from the Airport Extreme. Does anybody know how to set ipfw to allow an incoming connection?
    Unfortunately this means that the Firewall on my PowerBook is wide open, but I do have internet access. Maybe this will be rectified when 10.5.2 is released. Or at least we can hope, as it appears that many people are having this same issue.
