Why can I not access my Airport Extreme with Bonjour

I have the setting checked but no matter what I the Airport Extreme doesn't show up in Bonjour. The Airport Extreme is connected to an XFinity cable modem/wireless router. The Airport Extreme is working perfectly, streaming a connected USB 3.0 2TB HD. Everything seems to work just fine except I cannot just put the IP address in and access it from Safari.
The Airport Extreme is not using DHCP and I am letting the XFINITY cable modem be the DHCP server.

Please check out the following Gigaom article. Although it references a Time Capsule, it works equally well for the AirPort Extreme base station.

  • Why can I not access my Airport Extreme with Bonjour from my MacBook Pro?

    Just like the title says. I the Airport Extreme does not show up under Bonjour in Safari. I can access it from the network but not Bonjour. Weird.

    Bonjour, as you may already know, is Apple's implementation of zero-configuration networking.
    It takes three things to work:
    Host Addressing - It requires network devices that support Link-Local addressing, i.e., self-addressing on either, or both, IPv4 & IPv6. ARP is used to verify that no other device on the local network is using the same address. For Macs, self assigned IPv4 Link-Local addressing became available with OS X 10.0. IPv6 always supported this feature. Verify that you have IPv6 Link-Local, as a minimum, running on your Mac. System Preferences > Network > Wi-Fi or Ethernet (as appropriate) > Advanced > TCP/IP tab > Configure IPv6 > Either "Automatically" or "Link-local only."
    Host Naming - Device naming is dependent on Multicast DNS (mDNS). This is the ".local" name for the device. It will create one unless you enter one in System Preferences > Sharing > Computer Name. mDNS will issue a Query command to see if any other device is using the same name. mDNS is available with all versions of OS X. Windows devices would require Bonjour for Windows. mDNS requires UDP port 5353 to be opened on the device's software firewall. Note: This is not the same as the router's firewall.
    Service Discovery - Requires the first two items to be working and available. Note: A problematic /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.mDNSResponder.plist file may prevent your Mac from advertising its services.

    why can I not access a new document created yesterday in "pages"?

    Hi,
    Based on my understanding, your issue is you cannot create folder in Windows 7, right?
    Did you fix it?
    This issue might be caused by corrupted system file.
    If I am right and you haven't resolve your issue, we could try the following method:

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).

    I am getting a "connection timeout" message when trying to access my Airport Extreme with various laptops, Play Station 3 and Wii. My Airport Extreme is about a month old; it was working fine until about a week ago. Suddenly, the "timeout" is not allowing me to connect to my wireless network.

    It could be that there's a new source of interference.

  • Why is iMessage taking my incoming emails and then not making them available for my PC to get?  Why can I not send a text msg with photos when iMessage is turned off (but MMS is still on).

    Apple is great!
    Why is iMessage taking my incoming emails and then not making them available for my PC to get?  Why can I not send a text msg with photos when iMessage is turned off (but MMS is still on).
    I compose an iMessage with the destination as my email address and I attach 2 photos I want on my PC.  I send them several times from my iPhone 5C but they never arrive. I look at my ipad later and realize that it's iMessage app is getting ( and swallowing) these emails. I then turn the ipad off.  Still can't get the photos through because iphone is now getting them on it's iMessage.  I turn off the iMessage feature and try to send photos from text msging.  Phone tells me it can't send photos unless iMessage it turned on.  What happened to regular MMS text messaging?  I go and try to send photos as an email attachment and see that there is no option to attach from the stupid email program.  I look up online to learn about the brave new world of apple attachments and send them.
    Why is iMessage taking my incoming emails and then not making them available for my PC to get?
    The email program on my iphone is not configured to remove messages from the server.
    If iMessage is turned off I don't have the issue.
    Why can I not send a text msg with photos when iMessage is turned off (but MMS is still on).

    Did not work. I've selected iMessage to ON and left it. After a few hours I recieved a message "activation unsuccessful. Turn on iMessage to try again". This has been going on for the past 3 days.

  • What are these hidden drives in my root directory? Why can I not access them?

    Noticed two drives (?) in my root directory a week or so back that were never there before, one called net and one called home. Also have been getting anomalous folders appearing on the left of explorer as 'shared' folders/devices. Odd thing is I have no access to them (read only attribute, but even less than read only as I can't actually read any data on them) and they say they are zero bytes and created in 2001?! But the "date modified" date is always right up to date. So why can I not delete them? Anyone know what these are? Are they normal? See this picture http://oi62.tinypic.com/iyzyc1.jpg
    Would there be a way to use terminal to gain access or to dig a little deeper into what they are?

    Another odd thing is the network icon in my root directory (which is set to neighborhood) when I click 'get info' the lock button is greyed out, and the more info just hangs on the 'fetching' spinning wheel.
    Secondly I have a 'shared' device/server/folder(?) called Bthub4 on the left in explorer, right clicking 'get info' for that gives similar results with no access, or info. See pic below.
    http://i60.tinypic.com/15n99cp.png
    Trying to view the Bthub4 shared device/server/folder gives a prompt to enter a name and password "for the server 'bthub4'" No password (operating system, or wifi related) works, and the guest account fails to give me access to the server. Pic of prompt: http://i62.tinypic.com/ae5jjk.png
    Why server? Why do I not have access to any of these areas?
    Can anyone else verify if they have any of these things in their root directory?

  • Why Can't I Reset my AirPort Extreme?

    Let me just say first: I've learned my mistake for forgetting about the rule: If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Anyways, today I wanted to inprove wifi speeds on my 5th gen AirPort Extreme Base Station. I tried enabling Extend a Wireless Network, 5 Ghz connection, static IP, and I got this:
    Also, I tried a soft and hard reset, still not working. What do I do to reset it?

    The image that you posted did not appear, and the link seems to be inactive.
    The default settngs for the AirPort Extreme provide maximum available speeds, so there is rarely any need to change the settings.
    Try a Factory Default Reset to see if you can unlock the AirPort Extreme.
    Pull the power cord from the back of the AirPort Extreme
    Wait a few minutes
    Hold in the reset button first, and keep holding for an additional 9-10 seconds while you simultaneously plug the power cord back in to the AirPort Extreme
    Release the reset button after the hold period and allow a full minute for the AirPort Extremet to restart back to a slow, blinking amber light
    If the reset is successful, you will now be able to reconfigure the AirPort Extreme again.

  • Why can I not access iTunes Store on my Ipad?

    Why can't I view anything on my Ipad from the Itunes app icon?

    Try tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store on your iPad and log out of your account and then log back in and see if the store's pages then show. If if doesn't then you could try closing the iTunes store app via the iPad's multitasking bar and see if it works when you re-open it, and/or try a soft-reset.
