Where is the airport icon in Windows?

On any Apple computer with Airport, there is an Airport status icon menulet. Those of us longsuffering dialup users with original AEBSs equipped with the dialup modem option are used to clicking on that icon and selecting the "connect" submenu that appears next to the wireless network name, then we're off and running with a 3 or 4 kbps bandwidth (yes that's about 1000 times slower than cable or DSL).
On my Windows laptop, no such icon appears on the closest thing to Apple's menulet area - the system tray. So there's no way of telling my AEBS I'd like to connect to the Internet, and would you please dial my ISP's number now.
I can find nothing appropriate to download from Apple. Of course I have all the other relevant Windows equivalents including Airport Utility, but these programs don't tell my AEBS to dial.
No I can't set it to "connect automatically" since it would connect all the time and I'd never have a voice phone available.
What am I missing here?

Just add this to the expansive list of Windows annoyances.

  • HT202190 Where is the "Settings icon in the lower right corner of the Home Sharing window."?

    Where is the "Settings icon in the lower right corner of the Home Sharing window."? Anybody else doesn't find it? Is it because of I have the most updated version of iTunes? Have things changed?

    What I had to do is send to my iPhone from my Mac, respond to the resulting alert, choose the action button while the destination was highlighted, and then save the address to favorites.

  • The airport icon (upper right portion of the screen) says I am connected to my airport; but, I don't get the icon on the Itunes window (rectangle with a triangle at the bottom of it) that allows me to select the stereo that is connected to my airport?

    The airport icon (upper right portion of the screen) says I am connected to my airport; but, the Itunes window doesn't show the icon (rectangle with an arrow in it) that allows me to select the stereo system speakers that are attached to the airport.  What's up with that?

    If the modem is also a router, either use the modem in bridge and run pppoe client on the TC.. that is assuming ADSL or similar eg vdsl. If it is cable service.. and the modem is a router, then bridge the TC.. go to internet page and select connect by ethernet and below that set connection sharing to bridge.
    Please tell us more about the modem if the above gives you issues.

  • Where is the Java icon

    Hello,
    once upon the time - it was at Java 1.4 - the Java icon for windows could be found in the subdirectory \jre\javaws\JavaCup.ico.
    Where can that - or a similar - Java icon be found in Java 5 and 6 installations (or elsewhere)?
    Thomas Wiedmann

    This is the result of a find in the Java 1.5.0 directory on a Linux system:
    # find . -name "*png" -print

    I suggest you run a similar find on your Java directory and check to see if any of those images (change png to gif and jpg to possibly get more images) suits your needs.

  • Where is the Safari icon located.

    I have found a bunch of custom icons for OSX on line and have started using them. I replaced the trash can empty and full, some of the icons in the finder sidebar etc. through system/library/coreservices. I backed up to original folders and corrected disk permissions afterward. Everything is working fine. But I can't find all of the icons I would like to replace.
    Where is the safari icon for example? I looked in dock, finder and coretypes bundle. I can't seem to locate it. Can anyone help?

    Hi Jason,
    When it comes to changing icons in the system or in applications, the possibility of creating some system problem jumps. As an alternative, I use CandyBar, which simplifies this process immensely.

  • I do not see the airport icon in iTunes anymore on my PC...

    My airport use to work with my PC, but now, when I make an update it says "Airport requires that your computer is running Windows 7 SP1 or later" ?
    Is there a way to make it work again ?
    I do not see the airport icon in iTunes anymore...
    But my computer is able to see the Wi-fi from my airport.
    Thanks

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Unfortunately your software is not up-to-date. OS X 10.6.8 does not contain iCloud. You should update to OS X 10.8 if you wish to use iCloud from your Mac.

  • Whenever I click on the Itunes icon, a window pops up saying that `The file iTunes Library.itl cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes`.  I then click ok and the pop up vanishes.  Any ideas as to what I should do?

    What version of iTunes are you using? An .itl file is something that Windows uses, or very old versions of iTunes on Mac. The library file on Macs is now .xml and has been since late iTunes 4.
    Is iTunes running ok without any problems after you OK that message? If it is, then you may be able to ignore it if you can't account for why you're getting it. But make sure you take backups in case something happens in the future.

    How to setup the airport extreme for window xp

    Sorry, I forgot to mention a few points:
    1) I don't have the Airport Extreme base station;
    2) My PowerBook is connect to the internet thru wired connection with the Built-in Ethernet;
    3) The Airport is turned on, but my PSP's scan cannot locate the PowerBook at all (while it find someone else's network)
    So, I wonder if I can just connect my PSP to the built-in Airport in the PowerBook directly. So that I can have internet access on my PSP.

  • Where is the Airport Card in a 14-inch 1.42GHz iBook?

    A friend of mine is having problems with the Airport card in her 14-inch 1.42GHz iBook. She thought it came unseated and asked me to check. I went to iFixit.com to see where it was located. I followed the guide and, lo and behold, there is no card under the keyboard!
    Where is the Airport Extreme card in this model iBook? I am puzzled. HELP!

    I do not believe that there is a regular AirPort Extreme card in that iBook.
    Regardless it is considered "built-in" and not a user serviceable part on that iBook.

  • After right-clicking the Firefox Icon, a window pops up with one of the titles being "Frequent." Web sites are always being added to this section that I do NOT want. Is there a way to control the number of listings under "Frequent?"

    After right clicking the Firefox Icon, a window pops up above the icon with three sections in it. Two are titled, they are "Frequent" and "Tasks."
    The "Frequent" section each time I see it, has added previous sites that I have visited. This list then has lots of duplicates in it. I do not need that, and would like to keep this listing a a favored few.
    Is there a way to stop having superfluous web-sites added to the "Frequent" list ??
    Thanks!

  • Where is the App icon for HD 1080p Video? From the online photos it should be separate from the camera App.

    Where is the App icon for HD 1080p Video? From the online photos it should be separate from the camera App.
    It's supposed to have a blue background with 1080p in white, while inside there is a white camera with the letters HD in blue.
    I cannot find this App icon. Where is it located? It was supposed to be preinstalled.
    Thanks.

    There is no app.
    It is the camera.  Just take video with the camera.
