Trying to connect to apple wireless with my pc laptop

I am connecting to a apple network(wireless) but can not gain access to internet. I have no problem with hotel wireless networks or my one at home so I know my card is working. cannot figure out why I connect to my friends apple network but when I try email or to gain access to any web site I get:page not found or url not found. any help?
thanks!

I went and tried again this weekend to log on going
thru my friends apple extreme network. still no go.
tried some new ideas but still have not got on to
the net. I asked him about wep and wpa. he says it
is a wep password but is tied into wpa network.
If he is using WPA, does your wireless adapter support WPA?
After
reading the many replys to my posts I went to a
sight that talks about AirPort Admin Utility for
Windows. Do I have to have this firmware or is this
for the administrer? he does not want me fooling
with his network he polietly told me. Do I need
this AirPort Admin Utility for Windows?
The Airport Admin Utility is only used to administer an airport base station, you do not use it for connecting to an Airport network.

Printer does not recognize the network name. I have run the setup many times with no success.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Internet Connection - Your Apple wireless device does not have a valid IP.

I just bought an Apple TimeCapsule and set it up normally, following instructions to my Arris cable network on the Videotron provider here in Quebec, Canada. The TimeCapsule did appear as a wireless device on my MacBook Pro (after updating the AirPort software from the provided CD - as was instructed). I went through the whole installation process to obtain at the end this error:
Internet Connection - Your Apple wireless device does not have a valid IP.
The only provided instructions were to check the cable and then contact your Internet provider. Well it seems clear to me that if I contact my provider and say that the internet connection works fine directly on my computer, also fine through my "normal" wireless router but not with my new TimeCapsule, I won't get much of a response.
After a lot of research, a friend indicated the solution in my case.
You have to really reset the cable modem to convince it to start giving out IPs again.
To do this:
1. Unplug your TimeCapsule (possibly you might have to reset to factory defaults - see the documentation)
2. Unplug your cable modem
3. Reset your cable modem by pressing the reset button with a pen (or something) for several seconds.
4. Plug your cable modem back in and let it reboot/restart - until the lights are back on.
5. Plug in your TimeCapsule
Everything should now work and you can restart your AirPort set-up on your Mac.
Good luck!

My ISP is AOL. The service is DSL via a broadband modem. Somewhere during the setup process there appears to be a communicatiosn issue between the Airport Extreme Base Station and the DSL modem. When I hook the DSL modem directly to my iMac I can connect to the internet without any issues.
I tried the factory reset and the DSL modem reboot process described in other posts and seemed very close to success...until the internet setup step. That is where this issue first presented itself.

An error occurred while trying to access the Apple Wireless Device

Hello All;
I just bought an Airport Extreme Base Station today and am all ready having problems. I am running a PC. I connected a Motorola DSL model to the Airport's QAN port and then I connected the computer to one of the Ethernet ports. When I first loaded the software that came with it, things worked perfectly and I was able to connect to the internet. Then, when I opened up the configuration file, and try to enter the configuration manually, I receive the error ... "An error occurred trying to access the Apple Wireless Device. Make sure your network connection is valid and try again". When I try to open the Manual setup I get that error. Also why are the "settings" always grayed out ? I am connected ot the Internet but can't understand why I can't do a manual setup or change any of the settings. I reset my passwords and need to change them again but am unable to do that. Thanks for any help and advice you can give me.

I am about to return this unit to the store I bought it at. I keep getting an error 6753 whenever I try to do any kind of configuration. Most of the configuration options are grayed out in the setup utility anyway. There is a ton of stuff about this problem on the internet. There are a few solutions offered like modify the tcp/ip properties but I sure can't figure out what they're talking about. Not everyone who buys this is going to be tech savvy.
I'll call tech Support tonite and if they can't offer a permanent soultion, I'm returning the Airport Extreme and separate dsl modem tomorrow and getting a wireless dsl router specifically designed for the PC.

Error (-6722) occurred while trying to access the Apple Wireless device

I receive the following error when I press 'manual setup' or 'continue' from within the airport utility:
"An error ocurred while trying to access the Apple wireless device. Make sure your network connection is valid and try again
Error -6722"
Everything is working on the Airport express but I can't run the utility. Should I hazard a reset of the device to factory settings?

Aaaaaaand as I was writing that, I managed to fix it. Not sure how exactly. The variables that were used that worked:
On windows, running AU 5.5.2, right clicking upload firmware in the device list, choosing other, selecting a random firmware other than 7.3 (I think i ended up using 7.4.2) and clicking upload. Instead of trying to communicate with the APExpress, it directly uploaded the firmware and then it restarted, I got a crazy amber blink cycle I have never seen before (Three fast long blinks, and the three short fast blinks, repeat). Then it restarted and it was back to normal. Woohoo! There goes 5 hours of my life.

How do i connect my apple ID with itunes?

I keep on trying to sign into itunes with my apple id, but it never works . How do I connect my apple ID with itunes?

To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.
You may find that when you try to do this, the password for your old ID it isn't accepted. If this happens, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

Can no longer connect to internet wirelessly with Linksys WRT54G...

Hi, all...
I'm at my father-in-law's house. His home network setup is as follows:
* Compaq desktop connected via Ethernet cable to
* Linksys WRT54G, v3 (IP 192.168.2.1) connected via Ethernet cable to
* Westell DSL modem provided by SouthEast Telephone (his ISP - IP 192.168.1.1)
I set this equipment up for him about 18 months ago. His Compaq desktop connects perfectly to the internet, using the setup I described above, which I set up for him about 18 months ago. I *used* to be able to connect to the internet wirelessly (with both my IBM ThinkPad and my MacBook; my bro-in-law *used* to be able to connect to the internet wireless (with his Dell laptop).
For reasons we don't yet understand, neither of us can connect wirelessly to the internet any longer. I have called Linksys, posted to their board, and read other threads here, so I am aware that MacBooks have some issues with Linksys routers. I'm getting ready to phone my father-in-law's ISP, to see if they can help.
But... I don't understand why this used to work, but doesn't any longer. I would be very grateful for any help any of you great folks could provide, and I will gladly post here any detailed info on the setup that might be of help!
Many thanks,
Bill J.

Thanks for your reply.
Actually the Linksys 2Wire modem works fine in OSX and when connecting via a Compaq PC I also have in the house. It is just on the MacBook running XP that it fails to "connect". XP see's the network but cannot connect.
Also, I downloaded again bootcamp and created a fresh driver CD, reinstalled the driver and received the same error: 1706 No valid source could be found for product Macintoish Drivers foir Windows XP.msi.
I looked at the directory on the CD and it appears that there are no driver files, only documentation.
I called Apple, got no help, called Microsoft, spent 1.5 hours talking to them
they were no help either.
I sent a messge to the bootcamp beta mail address informing them that it seems the drivers are not being downloaded with bootcamp.
Thx again.

HT5706 I am trying to set up Apple TV with my Uverse WiFi, but I get errors when entering my password. One site said that Apple TV doesn't work with WPA which Uverse uses. Is there anyway around this or will Uverse and Apple TV just not work together.

Trying to set up Apple TV with ATT Uverse. I get errors when trying to enter my WiFi password. One site says that Apple TV doesn't work with Uverse because it uses WPA for encryption. If true, does that mean Uverse subscribers cannot use Apple TV?

No, that's a rather silly conclusion.
There are two options:
stop using the crappy router provided by the ISP.
Physically connect the ATV to the router via Ethernet.

I am trying to connect a PC wirelessly to my Mac OS X. The PC finds the Mac but asks for the WEP number. Where do I find this number?

Then use multipel 99 picture slideshows.
You can have up to 8 or 9 slideshows per menu. If you add a sub menu reduce that by 1 and add 8 more to the sub menu. The top menu can have links to up to 8 or so submenus (depends on the theme) and each submenu can have up to 8 or so slideshows.
However, converting a very large slideshow to a QT movie as Terence suggested does not envoke the 99 slide limit in iDVD. It just becomes a single video/movie file. So you should not have a problem with exporting at the large size, 720 x 540,
and dragging the resulting file into the iDVD menu being sure to avoid any drop zones.

My laptop continually tries to connect to HP3050 wireless even if I am not near the printer.

HP3050 wireless printer Samsung Laptop with Win 7 SP1
My laptop every minute or two runs a program in the background. I see an egg next to the mouse pointer. I used Process Explorer to establish that it is trying to connect to HP3050 wirelessly. This happens even if I am nowhere near the printer. It is very annoying and uses up computer resources. I have removed the printer for now and the problem is cured. How can I fix this and use the printer again?

Did you purchase this product direct from Apple online, in an Apple Store, or through a third-party authorized reseller? Or did you buy it from an original owner whose Applecare plan was supposed to be transitioned to a new owner, by them?
Do you have an original shipping carton the unit arrived in?
If the product was a retail 'open carton' purchase and no
back-track is possible, contact the reseller.
And if the computer had seen a major service with logic
board replaced, etc, it may have other issues with serial
number vs one they may have assigned it. Usually a
new logic board may have the SN flashed or if a unit
was determined to be a reman, a new # assigned. But
that would appear in System Profiler, if officially reman.
If you registered a product anywhere with Apple, it would show on a web page along with its serial numbers, going back several years, at this page after you log in there.
https://getsupport.apple.com/GetproductgroupList.action
A blue text with triangle See all products and services opens an Apple ID
sign-in window, then the page changes to show your items & info about them.
If you run the serial number through online Lookup, what appears?

Not sure if this helps, 'your product' should appear - if registered.
Good luck & happy computing!

HT4557 I have iPad 2 and trying to connect to apple tv. Have gone into videos and music and put in my apple id and password but won't work. Pick up my PC fine though

I have iPad 2 and trying to connect to apple tv. Have gone into videos and music and put in my apple id and password but won't work. Pick up my PC fine though.
Any ideas? Have tried usual switching on and off again but no change

Here’s what you need to do to turn on AirPlay Mirroring on your iPad 2:
– Have iOS 5 installed on your iPad 2
– Make sure your Apple TV software is up-to-date. You can check for updates on the Apple TV by going to Settings > General > Update Software.
– Have your TV turned with Apple TV active and showing.
– Double-tap the home button on the iPad to bring up the Multitasking Bar.
– Swipe to move to the left of the Multitasking Bar, so you can see the set of controls just to the left of the volume adjustment slider.
– The button just to the right of the Fast Forward button – the one that has a rectangle with a solid, upward-facing arrow in it – is the AirPlay button. Tap to switch from iPad to Apple TV.
– Once you do that you’ll see the Mirroring section appear just below the entry for Apple TV. Just tap to turn that On, and the iPad 2 will immediately begin mirroring to your TV screen.

Is there any way to connect my Apple wireless/bluetooth trackpad and keyboard to my Mac Mini without using a wired or usb keyboard?

Is there any way to connect my Apple wireless/bluetooth trackpad and keyboard to my Mac Mini without using a wired or usb keyboard?

Well, I read that already, but I am trying to start up my Mac mini(new purchase) and I cannot get to all the system preferences etc since I cannot get past the startup screens. The site also mentioned waiting to turn on the keyboard until a language was requested. Neither language screen worked. I feel as though I'm just about ready to throw in the towel.
