Utility Airport can't see Airport Express on my MacPro, although the same AE operates properly with a MacBook Pro

I've unsuccefully spend almost three days on the web to find the solution to a particular problem.
The configuration  I'm running is as follow:
- one Airport Express attached to the Orange box to communicate through internet
- one printer attached to the AE through USB
Two Mac :
- one MacBook Pro : it operates with no problem using the AE and the printer, internet is fine since I write this message with that Apple. The two machines may operate simultaneously under different or identical softwares.
- one Macpro : two points:
     * the Airport utility does not see the Airport Express, but the AE logo is fully active on the computer and I can read information with Preferences/Network.
     * the Network diagnostic, launched from the MacPro, yields GREEN from Airport to FAI included steps ( green LED), but fails at the Internet step (red LED)
The computers are in the same bench, the AE being at 2 meter distance with no shield in between.
The Orange box is proved fine since all the internet communications are OK when I use the MacBook Pro . The phone is fine as well.
There are no other WiFi in the neighbourg.
The problem occured on Sunday evening for an unclear reason, while I was trying to connect a window XP based PC to link to the printer using the same wireless network ( I miserably fail as well, although the PC sees the Airport Express, but no way to connect to the printer : this is another issue )
The full network is running permanently for a couple of years with no issue, no fault, no reset, no slow down, just fine !
Both machines use the same OSX 10.6.8.
Information system returns the same data when reading the Airport network file.
Of course, the Airport Express yields solid Green light .
I've already checked the trouble shoot procedures as recommended by Apple with no success.
Well, this is a major issue since I do need my MacPro to handle work that must go through the internet.
Any advise and/or recommendation will be highly appreciated.

Hello,
Finally, I solve the issue by re loading the mDNSResponder which has been deactivated for an unknown reason. The system is back to normal operation.Thank so much to the Krypted.com site to provide the appropriate command to handle theplist file.

  • How can I see my reminders in my Mac in the same way I see them in my iPad and iPhone

    How can I see my reminders in my Mac in the same way I see them in my iPad and iPhone, I is easier to work with reminders in Ipad and Iphone rather to see them like a list on ICal

    The calendar seems to be the only way to see reminders right now. I'm aware of no 3rd party program that deals with just reminders...but I'd like to find one.

  • I replaced my hard drive and lost iPhoto. Is there a way to retrieve?  I can not find the starter discs that came with my Macbook Pro.

    I replaced my hard drive and lost iPhoto. Is there a way to retrieve?  I can not find the starter discs that came with my Macbook Pro.

    Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. You can purchase replacement discs from Apple.
    Or, you can upgrade to Lion or Mountain Lion:
    Upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion or Mountain Lion
    You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99.
    If you sign into the App Store and try to purchase Mountain Lion but the App Store says your computer is not compatible then you may still be able to upgrade to Lion per the following information.
    A. Upgrading to Mountain Lion
    To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
         Are my applications compatible?
             See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
         For a complete How-To introduction from Apple see Upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion.
    B. Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

  • Can I create a windows 7 partition on a 1TB thunderbolt drive to use with my Macbook Pro?

    I have a new Retina Display Macbook Pro with a 250gb SSD Drive that is quickly running out of space. My work recently gave me a new project to do some programming that can only be done in a Windows environment. With the price of Thunderbolt drives coming down I was wondering if I could build and boot to a Windows 7 partition on the Thunderbolt Drive and use that when I need to run Windows applications. Also what would the speeds be like? Would I be able to run apps like Photoshop and Illustrator? Also if that works would I be capable of creating a partition for my kids to install their games on?

    Redgoat,
    (1) USB 3.0/2.0 Drive will boot a windows 7 installation,  (hold down option when you boot)
    * I am not yet awake if thunderbolt drives will be detected by the macbook pro for booting purposes.  I cannot see why not
    (2) if you are concerned about speeds you can purchase a SSD USB 3.0 drive but a standard hard drive is quite reasonable with a USB 3.0 connection
    and lastly MacBook Pro Retina are mean gaming notebooks and bootcamp is the best way to do windows gaming on it.

  • Can anyone tell me if this error report information points to something specific wrong with my MacBook Pro?

    Hi All,
    I pasted the error report info below that the most recent error brought up. My MacBook Pro will, on occasion, freeze up on me and usually turn the monitor completely black. This also happens occasionally when trying to boot up from a Standby mode, the system just never recovers and the monitor stays black. A couple times the monitor has stayed up displaying the last screen before the freeze and the system will just be frozen. The keyboard stays lit up however. I end up having to hard power down the laptop (by holding the power button for 4 seconds) and booting it back up.
    I'm assuming it's a hardware issue, if the below info has any indicators as to what might actually be the problem it would be greatly appreciated if you could share that with me =)
    Thanks!

  • Can I use the same Time Capsule to backup two MacBook Pros?

    Basically, I want to know if I can backup my late 2009 MacBook Pro and my new one with retina display using the same time capsule? Maybe should I create different partitions on the time capsule?

    Yes, provided your backup drive is big enough. For a Time Machine backup your backup drive should be at least twice the capacity of the drive it backs up. In the case of two drives sum the capacities of the two drives. Be sure you backup drive is at least twice that capacity.
    You cannot partition a Time Capsule drive.

  • Just Installed Iwork. Can´t see what I am Writing? although the letter color is black!

    I Have Just installed Iwork. And for some reason I cannot see what I am writing! The only color that seems to work is blue!
    I don't have anything wireless so that is not the problem....
    Can anyone help?

    1. Get all your updates here: http://support.apple.com/downloads/
    or
    2. Use Menu > Apple > System Preferences… > System > Software Update
    It is best to use the downloadable "Combo" versions to update your system as it fully patches errors in the System like those you seem to be experiencing. The Software updater is fine for everything else and will automatically detect what needs updating.

  • Can I get a Dell U2410 Monitor to work with a MacBook Pro?

    I rashly bought this monitor. It looks lovely but it has a maximum resolution of 1920 x 1200, which I could not get with the VGA connection, and Dell do not make drivers for the Mac at all. Is there any chance of getting this monitor to work properly with my MacBook Pro? I found the Dell support site extremely difficult to penetrate, so I put the monitor back in its box and am going to sell it if I can't easily find out how to use it.
    Any advice is welcome.

    I think you are using the wrong adapter. Higher resolutions require the use of a mini display port to DVI or DVI-D Dual link adapter. A VGA adapter will not do the job.
    And I assume you are trying "extended" and not "mirrored" mode. What model Macbook Pro do you have?

  • Airport Utility can't see Airport Express!

    Running Snow Leopard. Just installed latest version of Airport Utility. I use a D-Link Wireless router which my Airport has no problem connecting to. My wireless printer has no problems connecting to the network. I've disabled all security on the router just in case. The AE is three feet away from the laptop and one room away from the wireless router.
    I've plugged the AE directly into into the DSL modem, directly into the router, and then directly into the laptop. Each time the AE turns green. However, never does the Airport Utility see the AE. Everything is grayed out so I can't configure anything. I've done a hard reset, rebooted the router and modem. Rebooted my MacBook Pro. I just want to stream my music because my current router set up works just fine. I've spent about 4 hours on this so far tonight and after reading pages of support postings still can't solve the problem. Any ideas?

    Sadly yes. I've reset it twice but no luck. It's odd that it doesn't show up anywhere. Any reason that the Airport wouldn't recognize that the AE transmitting? If I plug it directly into the Macbook using a ethernet cable, it does see it then but no information, just recognizes there's something plugged into it

  • Can't see Airport Express on PC

    We are trying to connect a PC, Packard Bell with Windows XP Home SP2, to my Airport Express network. I don't really understand why, but the PC is unable to see the signal of the AX. The ISP is called Alice (Telecom Italia), and has an Installation CD that I think screwed up some settings somehow. They use PPPoE to connect, and I'm not sure if this is the problem, but I think it is. I set up the AX with the modem so it works fine on my Mac, but the PC can't see anything. How do we proceed? Is this a problem with the wireless card in the PC? Or a problem with setup?

    If your Mac connects wirelessly to the internet via the Airport Express without difficulty, then the problem is with the PC's configuration. The fact your PC cannot "see" the Airport Express wireless network has nothing to do with PPPoE. The possible reasons the PC cannot "see" the Airport Express wireless network:
    - the PC's wireless interface is defective
    - the PC's wireless interface and/or software has not been properly installed
    - if this is a PC laptop - some laptops have a switch that turns the built in antenna on and off, and yours might still be off.
    - (unlikely) you configured your Airport Express to create a "closed network" (a setting found under the Airport tab of the Airport Admin Utility) - you would remember if you had done this!
    - (unlikely) your PC has a wireless interface that doesn't support 802.11b or 802.11g wireless networks
    After you figure out why your PC cannot "see" the Airport Express wireless network, you might find the information at http://www.efelix.co.uk/tech/windowsxp.html useful.

  • Airport Utility on Server can't see Airport N Gigabit

    First off, my setup: A server running 10.5.4 Server; a MacBook Pro running 10.5.4 client; an Airport Extreme Base Station-N/Gigabit.
    The problem is that from my server neither Airport Utility or the RADIUS service can see or config my Airport, but from my MacBook Pro, Airport Utility can see it just fine whether wired to the same network as my server or when connected via Wi-Fi. The version of Airport Utility is the same on my server and MBP. All three –– the Airport, the server, and the MBP –– are connected via the built-in switch on my router, so there should be no reason why my MBP can see the Airport but my server can't. I've also tried pinging the Airport from my server and did so successfully, so I know there's a good network connection (besides the fact that no other service is having trouble talking to my server from either inside or outside my network).
    Thoughts?

    Airport utility on my Mac (10.7.5) doesn't see AX although it is connected to the internet through it.
    Apple uses the AX abbreviation for the AirPort Express. The AirPort Extreme is known as an AEBS.
    If you have an AirPort Extreme, temporarily connect a spare Ethernet cable from your Mac to a LAN <-> port on the Airport router to see if AirPort Utility can "see" it that way.
    If you happen to have an older "round" AEBS, AirPort Utility 6.2 cannot be used to configure this older version of the AirPort. Instead, you will need to use AirPort Utility 5.6 for Mac OS X Lion for that task.
    My objective was to install an extern backup drive (to configure Time Machine through the wifi)
    Apple does not officially support Time Machine backups to a drive at the USB port of the AirPort Extreme, so your results may not be to your liking if you try this. It does seem to work for some users....while other users (like me) have nothing but problems when they try this.
    If you happen to have the older "round" version of the AirPort Extreme, the USB port on that version will only support the print function.
