Still ! having issues connecting Vista or XP PCs to Time Capsule disk

I know there are several posts on this subject, but I've followed most/all of them (as well as posts on other forums) and I still have not had any luck.
If anyone with experience in this can help me through it, I'd greatly appreciate it!
My setup is as follows:
* new 1TB Time Capsule
* macbook running 10.5.7
* Sony VAIO on XP Home w/SP3
* brand new Dell Vista Home Premium
* misc other equipment running on network w/o issue
All computers can access the TC network without issue.
I've tried to connect to the TC disk by both mapping the drive (using the TC IP or TC name) and using the AirPort Disk utility. While I've gotten various errors (do not have permission, cannot recognize name, etc), the most common error on both machines is "Could not connect. Enable NetBIOS and try again(53)". On both the XP and Vista, I've gone into the network properies>TCP/IP>advanced>WINS tab and clicked "Enable NetBIOS", but this has no effect.
While I've tried all settings with the same luck, my TC disk sharing is currently set to use accounts. I have unique accounts for the mac, XP, and vista. The mac can connect in every scenario I setup, of course.
I can get both the Vista and the XP to connect to a shared folder I've setup on the macbook hdd, but again, I cannot get the PCs to connect to the TC disk.
On occasion, I will see the TC name in the Vista's Network view. I have never seen in in the XP's network view. The strangest part to me is that on about 5 or so occasions, I have been able to go from not being able to connect to the TC disk to connecting by unplugging/replugging the TC's power cord. However, the connection between the Vista and the TC is usually lost within minutes and I'm back to square one (I've never been able to connect to the XP).
On the Vista, I have already tried the registry edit: HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\ and changing lmcompatibilitylevel to 1.
Is there a definitive solution known for this? My priority is to connect the Vista as the XP machine is dying. However, I added info about the XP in case it would help troubleshoot my issue.
If anyone has the expertise and patience to walk me through this, I'd be forever thankful. I have wasted WAAAAY too much time already, and I'm about to throw in the towel. I need a miracle!!

The workgroup is the same on the TC disk setting, the XP, and the Vista. At least for me, the problem is caused by something else. The strangest thing I am seeing is that sometimes I can get the XP and/or Vista machine to connect by simply unplugging/replugging the power supply to the TC - this is only by cycling the TC and making no other changes. However, usually within 5-10 mins after connecting, the Explorer will stop responding and I'll be back to the same problem and getting errors like: network path does not exists; windows can see 10.0.1.1 but cannot connect; cannot connect, must enable NetBIOS and try again; etc
I am always able to ping the IP successfully, but connecting to the disk and STAYING connected has been a lost cause for me so far.
If I can't figure this out, I'll be forced to send files from the XP and Vista to the macbook hdd, and then put the files on the TC disk. That's a solution that I'd be disappointed in, seeing as the the Apple store was very convinced that there would be no issue using the TC disk in my proposed network.

  • Updated to 7.0.5 and STILL having issues!!

    Just updated to Presenter 7.0.5 and STILL having issues.  Hopefully someone here can help (I'm at my wit's end!)  (BTW: Running Windows Vista)
    Specific error:  "MediaWriter::write: Unknown codec."
    Thought updating would relieve me of this problem, but it happened AGAIN when I went to update the audio on a PPT I'd published! 
    [This error] pops up sporadically, but OFTEN during editing and ALSO during syncing - I tried both!
    When it appears, I cannot move ahead.  Each time I click "ok" and attempt to re-play from the point I was at, the error will appear.
    The work-around I found requires that I:
       - Click "ok" to the error message
       - Go back to the editing window and jump a little ahead of where I was editing; then
       - Click play/record
    Doing this forces me to skip what I was attempting to listen to/edit and move forward from there.  It happens ALOT during one editing session.
    I cannot find anything on the Adobe website, or in Google search about this MediaWriter codec error!  Do you know of it?  Any answers on how to resolve it?
    PPT STILL CRASHES!
    PPT often crashes during audio editing and it did again, after updating [to 7.0.5]. It freezes and then I must force it to exit.  It will attempt to restart PPT automatically, but not before I see this error on my desktop:
    "PowerPoint experienced a serious problem with the 'adobe presenter powerpoint com addin' add-in.  If you have seen this message multiple times, you should disable this add-in and check to see if an update is available. Do you want to disable this add-in?"
    I know Presenter must work better than this... any ideas on what's going on?
    Maybe I just need to uninstall and re-install. I have to find a fix.
    Sorry for the long post, but as you can see, I'm in dire need of help and am hoping someone or some others have experienced these things.
    Thanks so much for your time!

    Matt,
    Thanks for such a quick response!!!
    I would seriously be sooo happy with THAT if I understand what you're saying.... So for all NEW presentations (that is I start with a blank slate, if you will), I will likely not experience either of these issues?  I just really can't go back to previous PPTs, try to edit them and expect them to work w/o these issues?
    If that's the case, I'm fine with that and will start anew.  I've just been experiencing this since installing Presenter (Version 6) and am finally at my wit's end with it since it's so time-consuming.  I do 100's of PPTs so can't go through this anymore.
    Thanks!!

  • TS1569 iphone ios5.1 still having issues with Bluetooth

    Iphone Ios5.1 still having issues on Bluetooth connectivity.

    I lost The Bluetooth function completely two weeks ago. iPHONE IOS 5.1 .
    This is not a pairing issue, or wrong usage. Suddenly it didn't work in my car any longer. Resetting didn't help. I have tested against two other iPhones, my PC, my headset and my iPAD. (all this units have had BT connections with my iPHONE earlier)
    My iPhone Bluerooth is simply not working anylonger, not detectable and cannot "see" or find any other BT devices.
    Is this a software bug? Or simply a hardware error requiring physical repair?
    Cheers Rolf

  • I am still having issues with the TOC. I finally got several chapters and sections to show different pictures in the TOC, but have spent hours trying to figure out how to repeat it. This should be so simple. Is there an update? Please help us Apple.

    I am still having issues with the TOC pictures. I got several chapter/section photos to show up, but can't seem to repeat this success. It is some mystery that happened during a time that I had practically given up. This should be such a simple thing. Drag and place a picture into the placeholder and it shows up in the TOC....right? Help, help help! want to get this thing done and it's taken two days of work just get some of the photos to show up. I am going to have to publish this ibook with no photos in several sections.....why can't this be simple? I have even had someone else spend hours trying to figure this out. This software is such a GREAT idea....come on...help with this little part of it.

    I had the same problem myself. I got to the point where I couldn't replace the photo, of a new chapter, in the TOC. What I did was to duplicate an existing chapter that was working and was able to replace it's TOC's photo. I also found that if you try different areas of the photo you can sometimes get it to replace correctly. For example, instead of dragging the new photo to the middle of an existing photo, try dragging it to the right top corner.

  • Mac Pro 6,1 STILL having issues with Open CL (4K scaling and SpeedGrade direct link grades)

    I've seen the staff responses to the issues of the new Mac Pro GPU saying that 10.9.4 fixes everything. For me, it has fixed my export issues, so I'm glad. I'm no longer getting lines and artifacts on my renders.
    That's great.
    However, I'm still having several issues, and they seem to be linked to Adobe and Open CL.
    Here's a video that shows what's going on:
    mac pro issues july 7 - YouTube
    Issue #1
    Like most of you probably, I'm doing 1080p exports of most things I'm working on. The first project shows a 1080p timeline with a mix of 4k, 5k, and 720p footage. Because zooming in so much on a 720p file in a 4k timeline looks so crappy, I'm doing 1080p timelines and scaling everything to the size it needs to be. I started in a 4k timeline then switched to 1080p because the 720p footage looked so terrible. However, in the 4k timeline, I didn't have any of the issues I'm showing in this first part of the video.
    When I switched to the 1080p timeline, I discovered a weird quirk: When I resize the 4k (or 5k) footage to the size it needs to be (which varies based on the frame I want), it goes back to the 100% view when I'm scrubbing through it. When I pause, the size of the video goes back to the way I set it. I show this in the video. Then I show what was my working solution for the time being: "scale to frame size", which brings all the videos to the size of the sequence frame size and works fine. Later, I turn off OpenCL in premiere and when I scrub through the video, it doesn't zoom back in or only stay at the size I set when stopped. For some reason all of these issues only happen at 50% scale or smaller. It doesn't happen at, say, 60%.
    I've tested this with raw R3D files and other 4K (or 5K) clips (even clips exported from After Effects) and the same thing happens. It doesn't seem to happen with 2.5k footage or 1080p footage.
    Issue #2
    This is the second project you'll see in the video.
    After grading in speedgrade (through direct link) I open my project back up in premiere and start playing it back. The video plays back with delays and frame drops. Now normally, this would be expected. But this is 1080p pro res footage, and this is just an effect added, and the yellow bar appears indicating that open CL should be accelerating the playback and it should do so smoothly.
    Maybe I was just wrong in assuming that a simple grade from speedgrade would be able to playback smoothly. I turn off the grade, and it plays normally.
    But then, when I turn off open cl and leave the grade on, the video plays back without ANY issues.
    So to me, it seems I'm still having issues with Open CL and adobe. I've found fixes that make it work temporarily, I don't need that kind of answer. However, I would like this to work. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Something I need to do to get this to work?
    Here are my specs:
    Mac Pro 6,1 (Late 2013)
    3 GHz 8-Core Intel Xeon E5
    64 GB 1867 MHz DDR3 ECC
    AMD FirePro D700 6144 MB (x2)
    OSX 10.9.4
    Firmware: 2.20f18
    What you're seeing is latest version of Premiere (CC 2014, v8.0.0 [169] Build)
    Everything here is ProRes 422, running from a Promise Pegasus2 R4 RAID (drives: 4x Seagate Desktop HDD 4 TB SATA 6Gb/s NCQ 64MB Cache 3.5-Inch Internal Bare Drive ST4000DM000) (that's thunderbolt 2).
    I've done everything: I've restarted my computer hundreds of times, I've reset NVRAM and PRAM and done power cycles.
    This isn't just some issue that started with 10.9.3 of OSX, the 4k issues happened when I first switched to a 1080p sequence back in February (2014) or so, which means it was an issue even with 10.9.2 and the previous firmware release.
    I've reported this issue to adobe.

    That crash appears to be casued by the Facebook plug-in.
    Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts or Users & Groups on 10.7 and 10.8), make a new Library in that account, import some shots  and see if the problem is repeated there. If it is, then a re-install of the app might be indicated. If it's not, then it's likely the app is okay and the problem is something in the main account.

  • HT4628 Still having issues with Lion os X and wi-fi

    I am still havign issues with Lion os X and wi-fi.   I have 3 domputers in my house including the new macbook pro that has lion os x installed.    The wifi drops out all the time (every 2 minutes).   I have followed all the instructions on how to fix this but I am still having issues.    The other two computers work fine,  one of the is Lion os X that has been updated but I managed to play with the setting and fix this one.   This computer worked fine on Snow leapard and then a soon as I installed Lion the wifi started having issues.
    When will apple make an update that is going to fix this problem.     You want to buy a new computer that works,  I took it into apple and they told me that it is my router,  but I know it is the software as there are 100's of blogs and threads about this exact issue occuring only when their computer was updated to Lion.
    Is there anything else I can do to fix this issue other then un-installing Lion and buying Snow Leapard?

    Does this problem happen with just your airport base station?  Do you have a 3rd party wireless router?  Can you duplicate the problem using any wifi access point?  Did your computer come with 10.7 preinstalled?  Did you purchase the applecare with your computer?

  • I have an iphone 4. Recently I have issues with certain apps closing immediately once they are open. ie Email. Tried re-booting entire thing and still having issues. Any one else having this issue or a fix for it?

    I have an iphone 4. Recently I have issues with certain apps closing immediately once they are opened.(ie Email). Tried re-booting entire phone and still having issues. Any one else having this issue or know a fix for it?

    Delete background Apps from memory and then Reset.
    To Delete background Apps, double click Home button, in the bar at bottom, hold down on an App Icon until the minus sign appears, tap all the minus signs, until all background Apps are cleared from memory. Then Reset, hold both Home and Power buttons until the iPhone begins to restart itself, ignor the 'slide to power off' let the iPhone restart itself. Usually takes about 10 seconds of holding both buttons.

  • Anyone else still having issues with Voice Control?

    Mine was activated out of nowhere and of course there is no easy option to turn it off. Its in the international setting...what is that even for?? Its preventing me from organizing my apps, can anyone shed some light on this?
    I've reset, double checked settings, and even restored. No change.

    If I hear Siri say "sorry, I am having trouble connecting to the network" one more time it's going on Craigslist, and I'm going back to Android.  Siri seems to be best for the Apple Marketing Dept.  In my business we go from Beta to Pilot, to GR.  How does Apple give it to the masses and call it Beta.  Are they so self confident that they can take the hit? 
    I often ask it to call xxxx, and it just times out.  The other issue is that when it does work, if it works, the lag time from command to execution makes it not functional.  If one of the goals is to make it safer for me while I travel, Apple has made it worse since I ultimately have to pick up the phone and dial manually.  I did get a surprise answer the other day when I asked Siri a math question from my 11yr old's math homework.
    1 out of 50 times it works.   So far I have to give Apple a 10+ for Marketing, and a 1 for execution.
    Don't even get me started on ICloud set up and support help.

  • Anyone else still having issues with Siri?

    I don't understand why Siri won't work as seamless for me as instructed or as reported by other users.  I simply want to send text messages using Siri and it never seems to work.  I usually say something like, "Tell_____, I am on my way. 98% of the time it thinks I am saying, call so & so.  It rarely ever works the 1st time.  The only way I can get it to work is if I say Send Message, than once Siri goes thru what she has to say, I have to answer to who, than confirm I want to send.  This whole process takes like 45 seconds instead of taking 15.  Everyone makes this seem so easy to use but I can't get it to work as advertised.  Am I doing something wrong?  Does anyone have any tips?

  • STILL HAVING ISSUES WITH FLASH PLUG-INS & CRASHES

    I updated to the new 11.6 Adobe Flash and I am still having issues. I had the same issues, with the previous version of Flash Player. This issue occurs, multiple times daily. When I play a game on Zynga.com or Facebook (Daily), I either receive the message that the "Plug-in is not responding," or it Crashes. This then effects other websites, I have open in other tabs ie; Verizon.net, Adobe, etc. I have posted numerous Bug Reports on Google Chrome and one Bug Report on Adobe, without any results? It is EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING! It happens multiple times during a game, sometimes the plug-in issue resolves itself (only for a very short time) or it Crashes, or it doesn't do anything and I have to close the tab and re-load (refreshing does not work) or it just Crashes without warning and I usually lose data. I am not the only person, who has this issue RE: Game play on Zynga & Facebook. Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks

    This seems to be an issue with Zynga games and the DEBUG version of Flash Player exclusively. I have always had to use the non-debug version of Flash Player when playing Zynga games. As such, this seems to be a problem on Zynga's end and therefore need to take it up with them.

  • Still having issues with animate composition showing in chrome

    I created a wonderful childrens activity page using animate.  For some reason everything shows up in the local preview, but once put onto a live host for public consumption, the animate portion of the paqe does not show up in Chrome.  It takes a few seconds in Firefox, IE, and Safari due to 4 Audio files but the composition is displayed once they are done loading.  It won't show period in Chrome. 
    When I first starting having the issue I noticed two 404 errors related to min.map files for jquery and edge.  I had a friend tell me that it had something to do with Chrome's unwillingness to work with local jquery hosted libraries.  I changed the publish settings so that the runtime files would refer to CDNs.  Even with this I'm still having issues.
    the 404 still exists for the edge file, but the jquery file is returning a 304 error now.  What is the deal with this and why isn't my work being displayed in Chrome?  Is this a bug? Or is there some kind of workaround for Chrome's inconcsistancy with this?  I really need this page viewable yesterday, so any and all assistance with this will be supererbly appreciated.
    The page in referenece is http://steamcurriculum.com/whatsmissing/index.html  and as you will see, only Chrome does not display the edge composition.

    Have you removed the page as i get redirected to http://steamcurriculum.blogspot.in/p/home.html/whatsmissing/index.html
    I do not see any edge realted content even in the source of this page

  • Still having issues with my podcast feed in iTunes

    I am still having issues with my podcast feed. The podcast is not updating in iTunes yet I can see some of the new episodes through an alternative RSS.
    My podcast feed is
    http://feeds.feedburner.com/SosChurchStockholm.
    Not sure what I am doign wrong.
    Thankful for any help in this regard.
    Thanks

    I'm afraid I can't give you an easy answer. The Store has not updated since the episode of 10th November, but the later episodes appear when subscribing and there doesn't appear to be any problem with the feed.
    The Store does appear to go through sticky patches sometimes and take a long time to update some podcasts; it will probably catech up eventually and I'm afraid that there isn't really much you can do about it. You could try emailing Support ad podcasts 'at' apple.com, but I suspect you will get a form answer telling you how to add episodes (which you already know).

  • "No Internet Connection" via AirPort Extreme bridged to Time Capsule

    Hello,
    We have a fairly large and odd home network consisting of a Comcast cable modem connected to a Netgear router, a Time Capsule wired to that one floor down (serving up WiFi and DHCP), and a new AirPort Extreme wired one floor below that, extending the WiFi network of the Time Capsule and set to bridge mode.
    On one MacBook Pro (and possibly others, haven't had them available to test yet), trying to connect to WiFi while downstairs (i.e. to the AirPort Extreme) yields a strong wireless connection, but "no Internet connection"; checking via network diagnostics or the Network panel reveals that the MacBook Pro has no IP address. This seems odd, as it happens even if the connection is first made on the 2nd floor to the Time Capsule, where a valid IP is retrieved, and then carried downstairs; even though the same IP address should be valid, the laptop's WiFi menubar icon starts cycling again and eventually shows the "!" and reports no Internet connection.  Checking the Network panel reveals no IP address via DHCP.  However, if I let it sit for a minute or two, the IP address comes back (the same one!) and all is well, at least for a while.
    I've tried switching to a manually-assigned static IP as a workaround, and that works perfectly well, but I'd like to get DHCP working properly if I can, for convenience's sake. Is there any reason why I should be having trouble with getting DHCP from the Time Capsule via the AirPort Extreme?

    Actually, yeah, my predecessor explained that he was running DHCP on the Time Capsule instead of the Netgear because he hadn't needed DHCP prior to the adding of a WiFi point (all other nodes were on Ethernet), so it had always been turned off on the Netgear. But your suggestion makes a lot more sense, of course, so I've put the Time Capsule into bridge mode as well and started the DHCP server on the Netgear. Seems to be working with my iPhone, though that was always working okay. I won't have access to the laptop to test it until later this afternoon, but I have high hopes. 
    Thank you!

  • Can I connect an external hard drive to Time Capsule for off site back up?

    I like having a copy of everything at another site in case of a house fire. Can I connect an external hard drive to Time Capsule to make a duplicate of what is on Time Capsule? I would store that hard drive at work and bring it home monthly or something to back up Time Capsule. Thanks!

    Can I connect an external hard drive to Time Capsule to make a duplicate of what is on Time Capsule?
    That is exactly what the Archive function on the Time Capsule is for. Connect a USB drive and click Archive, and a mirror image of your Time Capsule will be copied over to the USB drive.  It's a slow process that will take 4-8 hours depending on how much data is on the Time Capsule, so best to start things late at night and let them run overnight.
    Another option would be to use a commercial application like Carbon Copy Cloner to keep your backup.  The advantage to this approach is that once the first "master" backup is done, the application will only back up the changes on the Time Capsule that have occurred since the last backup. So, subsequent backups will be much faster, probably only taking about 10-15 minutes.
