Toshiba pc will not connect to new airport extreme

Can not get toshiba pc windows 7 to connect to airport extreme, iPad and MacBook pro will connect
Any rhoughts

I have a solution that has worked for me. As I could numerous post on this subject but little in a solution I spoke with Apple Tech Support.
On your Apple machine open the Airport Utility found in Applications/Utilities.
Go to the menu bar at the top of the screen and click on Base Station.
Toggle down to Manual Set Up.
When open select Airport and click on Wireless.
Go to Channel, which in my case had defaulted to Automatic and instead change it to say 1.
Click on Update.
Fingers crossed, go back to your PC and select the little Network icon at the bottom of the screen and your Apple network should now be showing and click Connect. You should now have internet access on your PC.
I'll duplicate this as a new post for those not following this thread.

We have an old titanium PowerBook that will not connect to our AirPort Extreme network. What gives.

We have an old titanium PowerBook that will easily connect to any WiFi cafe or hotel network, but will not connect to our AirPort Extreme network. What gives.
When the Apple Tec. installed our network for our 3 iMAXs, he couldn't it to connect either. Of course our two iPads have no trouble connecting.
We are also having trouble getting it to upgrade from OS 10.5.8 to 10.6, even though I have a Snow Leopard up date family pack.

What is your Wireless Security setting on the network? Since you are running Leopard, I may not have the desired answer, but some of the Airport-equipped laptops, like the TiBooks, are said not to support all of the settings. I have an AE network which supports b and g, with "WPA2 Personal" settings and the TiBooks connect with that one OK with 811.b Airport.
Oh, and no way to upgrade beyond 10.5.8 Leopard for PPC machines like the Titanium G4 Powerbooks, as 10.6 and above require Intel processors.
EDIT: I didn't notice this, but the TiBooks may be connecting with WPA encryption on my network, as I have the following display on my settings:

My ipad will not connect to my airport extreme

the error reads " The Airport extreme named "apple network 249c87" cannot be set up by this software. go to apple.com/support/airpot"

Please look on the bottom of your AirPort Extreme for the model number and post back with that information.

My laptops will not connect to my airport extreme

My airport extreme keeps dropping my iPhone and laptops. Help

Ok, thanks for clarifying that for me. Is your AEBS the only wireless router used in your current network configuration? Is it an 802.11n (squarish) or 802.11g (dome-shaped) model? Do you live in an area with a high concentration of other Wi-Fi operating nearby ... like in a dorm or apartment complex? Do any of the devices that are experiencing these drop-offs have this problem with other Wi-Fi networks? Do you have a portable phone that operates on either the 2.4 or 5 GHz radio band?

Since the MacBook Pro currently works, you should put it next to the iMac and compare the network settings for AirPort in System Preferences Network pane Advanced. Also, if you want to start off with the default network settings, you can use Location drop down menu and select +Edit Locations+. Then click the plus sign to create a new location. Set up that new location.
On System Preferences Network pane, AirPort should appear at the top of the list (in the sidebar). To change the service order, click on the gear icon and select +Set Service Order+.
Some additional tests you can try, on top of seeing if it works with (1) WEP security disabled and (2) a direct wired connection to the router.
If you get it to work with either (1) or (2), be sure to run Software Update at least two times to apply any recent updates from Apple. See if that makes any difference to using AirPort with WEP back on.
(3) Start up in Safe Mode
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1455
I don't know if any third-party software has been installed on the iMac at this point, but Safe Mode will start up with only the essential Apple extensions and processes running. See if it works any better in Safe Mode.
(4) Create a new admin user account in System Preferences Accounts pane
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/8235.html
Log out and log in to the new account. Try connecting with AirPort in the new account.
(5) Connect the MacBook Pro to the router with a wired Ethernet connection. Make sure its Internet access works. On System Preferences Sharing pane, set it up for +Internet Sharing+ so that it is set to +Share your connection from Ethernet - To computers using AirPort+. On the iMac, try to connect to that wireless network and access the Internet.
That last one (5) may be a good one to try first. It would at least show that the iMac's AirPort is working - you can even set it up to use WEP. If you have any questions about using the +Internal Sharing+ feature, please ask.

How do i restore my wifi setting back to the factory settings? I have changed it somehow :/ and now my wifi will not connect. My Airport is on and showing full strength but will not connect.

How do i restore my wifi setting back to the factory settings? I have changed it somehow :/ and now my wifi will not connect. My Airport is on and showing full strength but will not connect.

Ok, if other devices are connecting but just not your MacBook then let's start troubleshooting the MacBook to possibly find out why.
Please try each of the following, in order, until hopefully resolved:
Note the following are excerpts from an OS X Daily article.
* Turn Airport on & off – You can do this via the Airport menu bar or from the Network Preferences. This is the first thing you should try when troubleshooting Mac wireless problems.
* Make sure Wireless/Airport card software & firmware is up to date – This is usually done just by going to the Software Update menu, if there are any updates available for your Mac or Airport, install them.
* Delete and recreate connection – Try deleting and recreating/reestablishing the wireless connection, sometimes a setting can be corrupted and this may fix it.
* Create a new Network Location – Similar to the above suggestion, try creating a new and different wireless network location to see if it resolves the connection problems.
* Change DHCP auto settings to manual – sometimes there is a problem with the DHCP server, and if you manually set an IP address on the network you can be fine. Remember to set the IP to a high number so it wouldn’t interfere with other DHCP machines. As long as you have the subnet mask, router, and DNS settings configured manually as well, this shouldn’t be a problem.
* Flush the DNS cache – Launch the Terminal and enter the following command onto one full line within the Terminal: dscacheutil -flushcache
* Zap the PRAM – Reboot your Mac and hold Command+Option+P+R during restart until you hear another chime, let the Mac boot as usual.
* Delete Wireless Config files – Delete com.apple.internetconfigpriv.plist and com.apple.internetconfig.plist files from ~/Library/Preferences and reboot
* Trash your home directories SystemConfiguration – Remove all files within ~/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/ and then reboot your Mac.
* Reset your Mac’s System Management Controller (SMC) – For MacBook and MacBook Pro’s: Shutdown the MacBook/Pro, remove the battery, disconnect the power, hold the Power Key for 15 seconds. Replace the battery, reconnect power, and zap the PRAM and wait for 2 chimes before letting the keys go. Let boot as usual.

My Ipad will not connect to my airport express

I was having a sound issue so I reset my Ipad. Now it will not connect to my Airport Express for internet. The message I get is to contact Apple Support.

Hello sgraziano,
I suggest taking a look at this article named iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1398.
Follow these steps to troubleshoot the above issues.
Be sure that you are in range of your Wi-Fi router (access point).
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi off and then on again.If unable to do so, see this article.
Confirm that your Wi-Fi router and Cable or DSL modem are connected to power, turned on, and indicate that they are connected to the Internet.If not, refer to your network administrator or ISP for assistance.
Restart your iOS device.
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you are connected. Then tap > and Forget this Network. Try to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network again.
Note: You will need to enter your Wi-Fi password again if your desired network requires one.
Turn your Wi-Fi router off and then on again2. If your ISP also provides cable or phone service, check with them before attempting this step to avoid interruption of service.
Update your device to the latest version of software.
Update your Wi-Fi router to the latest firmware2.For AirPort Base Stations, see this article for information about firmware updates.
And this section at the bottom if that troubleshooting does not resolve hte issue:
Unable to connect to a Wi-Fi network
Verify that you are attempting to connect your desired Wi-Fi network.
Make sure you are entering your Wi-Fi password correctly.Passwords may be case sensitive and may contain numbers or special characters.
Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Note: This will reset all network settings including: previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords, recently used Bluetooth accessories, VPN and APN settings.
Take care,
Sterling

My iphone will not connect to the airport network since I added a security password. The ipad connected immediately. Is there a setting on the phone that I need to change?

Ipad will not connect to my air extreme router but my IMac&air mac will

The router is much, much newer than the computer, perhaps some characteristic of the WiFi network as it's currently setup is preventing the computer from connecting.
Try to go back to the basics: set your WiFi network to "b" mode only (i.e., turn off "g") and termporarily remove the password from it. See if the computer will at least establish a connection at that point. Then start turning on one thing at a time ("g" mode, then security, etc).
Not sure what format your WEP key is, but if it's not 10 characters (the minimum for the standard, which constitutes a 64-bit key), you can try making it that long. If it's 13 or 26 characters, it might be a higher encryption than the computer can support.
If all else fails, you could try looking on ebay/craigslist for a copy of Tiger to install on the iMac, which would have software support for more WiFi encryption schemes. Also, it would provide software support for USB WiFi adapters that would also be able to connect to more modern networks.

My Lenovo laptop will not connect to my airport wifi

Hey ebe301,
Sorry to hear about your troubles with your PC. If you are not seeing your iPhone on your computer, then take a look at the link below to walk you through getting that working again. It will have you verify that drivers are installed and working as well as any third party software that may be causing conflicts.

Canon MP 620 not recognised since new airport extreme

I've been successfully using a Canon MP620 printer and scanner wirelessly for about six months but then my old Buffalo AirStation gave up the ghost and I replaced it with a new Airport Extreme. It was a joy to get something out of the box, plug it in and have everything work from the moment I switched it on. The only problem is the Canon has disappeared and I cannot get it to appear either wirelessly or as a USB device. I have tried just connecting it to one computer by a USB cable but it's just not being detected.
We have three MacBook Pro's in the family on airport, a MacPro and an old G4 that connect by cable, oh, and er...a Dell PC. We are running a mix of 10.5.8 and 10.6.1. The main MacBook Pro that was used originally to set up the wireless system is still on 10.5.8.
The Canon still has the same settings in it that it had before. I have downloaded the latest driver from Canon but when I get to the point where it scans for printers nothing comes up whether I set it to USB or Network.
I am so frustrated as it was working so well before.
Any ideas anyone?

Hello and welcome to Apple Discussions.
To add the MP620 on Mac OS X 10.5 as a networked wired or wireless printer, you need to select More Printers > Canon IJ Network. For Mac OS X 10.6, you add the network printer via the Default browser view. But there is every chance that the MP620 is not connected to your new Airport, so you will need to run the network setup tool again.
To configure the network settings in the printer, you will have to connect the MP620 to your Mac or PC via USB. This will let you open the Canon IJ Printer Utility, which lets you configure the network settings. Since this is a Mac forum, I will detail the Mac procedure.
With the printer connected via USB, open Print & Fax and select the MP620 in the list. If you haven't had the MP620 connected to this Mac previously via USB, then it may take a while for the printer to appear in this list. If it hasn't appeared after 30 seconds, then click + to add the printer. Select the MP620 shown as a USB device. At the point when you select to Add, you may be prompted that the printer is already installed. If so, just cancel the install. If not, continue the procedure.
With the USB printer queue selected, open the print queue and click the Utility icon. This will open the Canon IJ Printer Utility. This will show you the USB attached MP620. Select it and press the Network Settings button. This will open the Canon IJ Network Tool that will guide you through adding the MP620 to your new network.
Once the network setup process has completed, you can turn the MP620 off and disconnect the USB cable. Then when you turn the power back on, the printer should now be connected to your wireless network allowing you to add it as a network printer.
On 10.5, with Print & Fax open, click to Add and then select More Printers > Canon IJ Network.
On 10.6, open Print & Fax and click to Add. Select the Default browser view.
In both cases the MP620 should be visible, allowing you to select it and add it as a network printer.
Hopefully this gets you printing again. Please reply if you need more help.

IPhoto 7 Will Not Share File on Airport Extreme USB Drive

I have a USB drive plugged in to my Airport Extreme (n). I keep both my iPhoto 7.0.1 Library and my iTunes 7.3.2 Library on that drive. I am able to share the iTunes Library just fine from two machines. But if I open the iPhoto Library on one machine it works fine - but when I try to open iPhoto from the other machine I get a 'locked file/locked disk/inadequate permissions' alert. Have repaired permissions from iPhoto boot window - and the disk/file is not locked. I used to be able to share the iPhoto Library on this disk prior to iPhoto 7. Anyone have a suggestion as to how to cure this?
Thanks, Tuck

Sure, I'll explain. Actually this is how network shared drives are supposed to work from what Apple's promotional material says. I have both my iTunes Library and my iPhoto Library on a USB drive connected to my Airport Extreme so that both my wife and I can share the music and the pictures. We will often listen to different things at the same time on iTunes - which will make sense to you as that activity is really only a read. But I can add and delete music at the same time that she listens. With iPhoto we both can look at different pictures at the same time - I suppose just like iWeb can import photos at the same time I am running a slideshow in iPhoto. My problem is that this ability broke during my upgrade to iPhoto 7.0.1 - although it is possible this happened during 10.4.10 and I didn't notice, but I don't think so. As I have mentioned above I now find that I can create a NEW iPhoto Library and be able to share it on both machines again. So - my current question is: can I copy the contents of my old iPhoto Library into a newly created library and retain all the edits, events, titles, rankings, etc? And if so, is there any trick to it.
Regards, Tuck

My airport express is not connecting with my airport extreme base station. They are probably six years old. My IP address on my express shows 0.0.0.0

My Airport extreme and my airport express are not connecting together. I get an error message saying that my airport express software is not compatible with my Airport extreme and I have use them together for the past five or six years. It says I may need to change my IP address on my computer or something like that but I don't know what to do. the IP address on my express shows 0.0.0.0. Should everything be on the same IP address? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Please refer to the information already posted above:
If you see A1084 or A1088 there, your older Express is not supported by the newer version of AirPort Utility that you have.
If you have another Mac running Leopard or Snow Leopard, or a PC, then you could use that computer to administer the older Express and it will work on the network along with the AirPort Extreme.
If the Mac running Leopard or Snow Leopard or PC does not "see" the A1084 Express, you will need to "hard reset" the Express by holding in the reset button for 10 seconds and waiting a full minute for the Express to restart. Then, reconfigure the Express again.

Are there any new HP Printers which will work on the new Airport Extreme?

Has anyone had luck connecting an HP printer to the new 802.11N network? We have an older one which will not connect. THANKS!

My Laserjet 1300 does not work over USB and the Gigabit 802.11 AE base. There seems to be something wrong with Laserjets and USB hookups.
We're not getting answers from anybody. Could someone from Apple please investigate this and give us an answer?

ITeleport fails to connect thru new Airport Extreme

I have been trying all Summer to get an iPad I, running iTeleport, to create an external connection, (not wi-fi), to my MacBook Pro through Airport Extreme. I am using a dynamic domain server, (No-IP), and port forwarding in the Airport Extreme. (This is a brand new Airport Extreme.) Wi-fi and un-encrypted external connections work fine.
A non-secure, (un-encrypted) connection works fine but if I encrypt iTeleport, it fails to connect at all.
There was no problem with a prior router but when I replaced it with Airport Extreme it ceased working.
The iTeleport tech support has nothing left to try and Apple tech support cannot discuss it.
Wonder if anybody else has seen similar problem?
I hate to trash the Airport extreme but I am out of ideas.
Thanks for any help -- Jack
(OS 10.6.8 on the MacBook Pro)

Jack,
I'm one of the co-founders of iTeleport. What's your ticket number? I'd like to try and see if there's something the team may have missed. Email us at feedback at iteleportmobile dot com and we can take it from there.
Thanks!
