Windows 7 airport utility does not recognize my airport extreme

My iphone connects to my airport extreme and the airport utility sees it. So does my ipad and my friends laptop.
When I use wifi or wired connection (to lan port) from Windows 7 laptop to my airport extreme. The airport utility does not "see the extreme.
I've uninstalled/reinstalled the following:
- bonjour
- airport utility
- itunes.
I've wasted 3 hours on this.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.....

UPDATE
* I located the IP address and admin password of the airport extreme and was able to log into to the (File / configure other) airport extreme.
I believe it's a W7 bonjour issue.
As you can see in my attachments, Bonjour is installed however msconfig running services show it as stopped. I can't get it to start.
** How can I force bonjour to start? **
Here are my replies to your recommended steps:
What version extreme are you talking about? Actual model A1xxx from the base is a big help.
- I forgot to check this
Step 1.. Ping.. Ping is your most important tool to find things on a network.
Open a command window and type ping 10.0.1.1 (or whatever is the current IP of the extreme).
- Yes, I can ping it.
Please turn off all firewalls.
- Yes, firewall is off
Make sure the win7 is not in homegroup.
- done.
Make sure win7 is set to home.. not work or public for location of the network.
- done.
Step 2. .. This assumes you now have ping response.
In whatever airport utility you like, reset the extreme to use all SMB names.
- WHERE do I make these changes?

Windows XP SP 3 does not recognize HP Scanjet 3770 after downloading and installing driver

Hello !

Windows XP SP 3 does not recognize HP Scanjet 3770 after downloading and installing driver (Image Zone software)
There is another scanning HP device installed on the same computer - all-in-one HP Photosmart C 4280
What I have to do ?
Thank you !

Some things that pop in my head- your CD/DVD drive may need cleaning (laser eye). There are discs to do this or you can use a cotton swab sometimes to wipe the laser. OR- the last recovery may have been the last fatal strain on the CD/DVD drive and it is now not functioning. Maybe you could borrow the drive from the other Dv4 and try it- or borrow/buy a USB CD/DVD drive to try.

Windows 7 or itunes does not recognize my ipad, windows 7 or itunes does not recognize my ipad

Help! After resetting my ipad, Windows 7 or Itunes does not recognize it. I have read and followed all assistance or how to's that I came across on line but nothing works.

Check in this order-
1. Make sure that your device is not hidden (left hand pane). If it just reads device then toggle between SHOW and HIDE.
2. Try all the other ports on your computer, even a number of times.
3. Make sure your lead /connections are not faulty.
4. If you have another computer try plugging your device into it without taking any action, give it a moment, remove it and try it back in your other computer again.
5. Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes installed.
6. If using Widows, make sure all Windows Updates are installed.
7. Failing all that, see here - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 for Windows and http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591 for Macs
8. And failing all that put the device into Recovery mode. See here and note the paragraph 'If you restore from a different computer.... ' down near the bottom of the page -

Airport utility does not recognize base station

My airport utility (5.5.3) does not recognize my base station or express after changing internet providers (moved to ATTUverse). I know the network works (recognized by wireless devices). Everytime I do a "rescan" nothing appears. Running OS 10.72 on Core 2 Duo iMac; all software up-to-date; restarted all devices. Help

It sounds like you may have an older version of the AirPort Express.
Please look on the side of the device in the faint print to locate the model number. It will start with an "A" followed by four numbers......as in A x x x x.
If you could post back with that information, we will know more about how to answer your question.

Windows server 2012 R2 does not recognize DVD burner as read/write device

I've seen problem fixes for this on Windows 7 but nothing on 2012 R2.
I changed the drive letter on the server (2012 R2 with all current updates) and now it does not recognize the working DVD burner as a read/write device.
The device does work correctly with other Operating Systems on the same hardware. The box is a Lenovo D30.
Any idea as to how to go about this fix. All Microsoft troubleshooter downloads run and say the problem was corrected but no luck in burning anything.

Hi,
Did you run this?

Disk Utility does not recognize internal HD

Hello community!
I am a computer lab assistant (all iMacs) for my work and am troubleshooting a problem as follows:
Specs:
Mac A:
OS X 10.8
2.7 GHz Intel Core i5 processor
4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 memory (2 slots x 2 GB in use, 2 slots empty)
27-inch Mid-2011 iMac
Graphics: AMD Radeon HD 6770M 512MB
The problem is that Disk Utility does not always recognize the internal HD on mac A. In fact, only once it showed up recently and that was after a couple of restarts. Programs run very slowly and are not very responsive.
Troubleshooting steps taken thus far:
1. restarted mac A in internet recovery mode and ran Apple Hardware Test about 8 times (quick test 4 times and extended test 4 times). Every time it hangs indefinitely on the memory check.
2. Installed and ran memtest in single user mode (mac A) with arguments "all 2" to run the test twice. All tests passed.
3. Started up mac A in Target Disk Mode and booted mac B via firewire. Everything runs fine (fast), but disk utility installed on mac A's HD does not recognize any HD (neither firewire nor internal).
4. Started up mac B in target disk mode and booted mac A via firewire. Everything runs fine (fast). Disk Utility on mac B's HD recognizes both firewire HD (of mac B) and internal HD (of mac A). Disk Utility verify and repair completed on mac A's internal HD. Everything OK.
I'm unsure how to proceed. I assume the RAM on mac A is fine because it runs mac B's HD via firewire very fast (it handled opening all the apps on the doc simultaneously relatively well). I assume mac A's HD is fine because via firewire it shows up in disk utility and runs very fast on mac B. I just don't understand why Mac A's HD won't work well on mac A. Could it be a loose SATA connection between the HD and the logic board? Would that cause these symptoms?
Thanks for any input.

I ran Data Rescue 3 by Prosoft and it returned the following graph:
In case you can't see the stats, that green spike is up to 30,000 msec in readtime for the HD. The smaller spikes before and after it are at about 2,000 - 3,000 msec. The threshold (red line) is a recommendation: persistant read times above the red line (about 1,000 msec) could indicate a problem with the HD according to the program. I guess it's time to see about replacing the HD.
Thanks.

Windows XP re-installation does not recognize any hard drive - help

Hi,
I have X60s Model: 17044JU
I have original XP installed.
My computer is very slow and I am trying to reinstall XP from my CD (and format HD so I clean everything).
When Windows installations blue screen shows up and loads drivers etc then it tells me that it does not recognize any hard drive.
I thought I may need SCSI or RAID drivers but since I don't have floppy I can not load them.
Any help how to install new XP would be appreciated.
Thank you
Miron
Moderator edit: Masked serial number to prevent mis-use.
Solved!

Hi
I changed BIOS setup from AHCI to Compatibility and indeed it worked.
However there is easier way to reload new system on thinkpad.
I didn't know that but you can press ThinkVantage button when you start your laptop and IBM utilities start up.
Then there is an option to reload the system to be in original state as shipped from the factory. It loads or drivers and initial programs. It also formats your hard drive.
I found it pretty convenient.
Thanks for help.

Utility does not recognize airport express

my wifi works normally but the utility is unable to recognize the airport express

I do not see a menu in the airport utility, but there is a tool bar.
The menus.....like File, Window, Edit, Help, etc are all located where menus are normally located.....at the very top of the computer screen. It sounds like you are looking at the AirPort Utility window in the middle of the screen.
Did you power off the restart both the PC and the AirPort Express? If you have done this, and the AirPort Express does not appear when you open AirPort Utility, then more troubleshooting will be required.
If AirPort Utility on your PC is communicating with the AirPort Express, the window in the center of the screen will look similar to this when AirPort Utility is first opened, except that you will see a listing for the AirPort Express:

The AirPort Utility does not recognize and show the basestation until I reboot my laptop.

I have an issue doing changes to my just recently bought Airport Extreme basestation through Airport Utility (the latest version).
Wireless connection is perfect but my Airport Utility cannot recognise the basestation until I reboot my laptop. Then everything works find until the next time.
Normally I put my laptop to hibernate mode when I am not using it. When I activate it again and start Airport Utility I cannot see the basestation unless I reboot my laptop.
Can anyone help me!

In order for the AirPort Utility to "find" the base station, it requires certain ports open on your Win7 laptop's software firewall. It may be possible when the laptop goes into hibernation mode, that these ports cannot be opened when the laptop "awakes" ... and thus, why you find yourself having to restart it.
I would recommend temporarily disabling the Win7 software firewall. Let let laptop go into hibernation or "force" it to go into hibernation, and then, see if you can access the base station through the utility after it awakes.

10.8 System Image Utility does not recognize anything 10.7 or below

I just installed Mountain Lion server and was excited to start using system restore to make images of some Lion Minis we have. However, SIU 10.8 does not seem to recognize a 10.7 volume. I tried booting the machine I planned to image in target disk mode and I tried making an image using disk utility and mounting it. Neither worked. Can someone please confirm or deny whether this works. If 10.8 Server SIU does not support older verisons (If you can really call Lion that much older for **** sake). It willbe infuriating to me if this can't be done because this would just be another example of Apple taking a good idea and just royally tanking on the execution side.
I did go ahead and install Server Admin tools on one of the other Lion minis and am making a Netrestore image of the master mini as we speak; so far so good. But I am skeptical of whether my Mountain Lion Server will even accept and deploy this image considering my less than stellar experience so far.
Any thoughts, suggestions, shared frustrations are all appreciated.

SIU has never supported anything but the OS that it comes on. So you need Server running on Mountain Lion to build Mountain Lion images, and Server running on Lion to build Lion images - etc for Snow Leopard, and Leopard, and Tiger...

After updating iTunes for window 8.1 iTunes does not recognize my ipod touch

My laptop updated to iTunes version 11.1.4. And now when i hook up my ipod or iphone, itunes does not see it. My laptop still sees both but now i cant download songs to either device. Any ideas anybody?

Re: Upgraded to iTunes 11.1 and now it won't recognize my iPhone Sep 18, 2013 2:15 PM (in response to davidsh_seattle) I was able to fix it! iTunes can now see my iPhone5. I followed these instructions: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 And re-installed the "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver". • Right-click the Apple iPhone, Apple iPad, or Apple iPod entry in Device Manager and choose Update Driver from the shortcut menu. • Click "Browse my computer for driver software." • Click "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer." • Click the Have Disk button. (If the Have Disk option is not present, choose a device category such as Mobile Phone or Storage Device if listed, and click next. The Have Disk button should then appear.) • In the "Install from Disk" dialog, click the Browse button. • Use this window to navigate to the following folder: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers. • Double-click the "usbaapl" file. (This file will be called "usbaapl64" if you have a 64-bit version of Windows. If you don't see "usbaapl64" here, or if there is no Drivers folder, look in C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers. instead). • Click OK in the "Install from Disk" dialog. • Click Next and finish the driver-installation steps. Open iTunes to verify that the device is recognized properly. this worked to sync my iphone 5. not i4 or i3 phones(now ipods) In Device Manager I also noticed I had 3 apple drivers under Portable devices. I deleted two of them. I updated the remaining driver, now I can sync my i5, i4 and i3. You may have to View hidden devices.

Disk utility does not recognize internal drive

iMac Core 2 Duo previously running Mountain Lion OSX quit recognizing the internal 1 GB boot hard drive. Have attempted repair with Disk Utility but Verify says that the drive is fine yet it will not boot. Can boot from an external USB drive running latest version of Mavericks. Have also tested internal drive using latest version of TechTool Pro 7 but without success. TechTool Pro recognizes the external USB boot drive but does not visualize the internal drive. Cannot visualize internal drive to erase and reformat.
Any suggestions for visualization of internal drive and repair? Or is this likely a dead Apple internal HD?

While booted from your external drive or boot from the Recovery Drive, run Repair Drive in Disk Utility.
Boot into the Recovery Drive by holding down Command R when restarting.
Run Repair Drive
It sounds like the internal drive might be dead. If you replace, I suggest SSD drive. They are really fast.
Under About this Mac,
Open System Profiler > Hardware
Copy the Serial number and model identifier. You can use this info to shop for a new drive.
Go to this site and check out their drive prices and videos to see if you can do the install yourself.

Disk Utility does not recognize ethernet external drive

I recently purchased a lacie ethernet external drive 1.5Tb to use with time machine and need to partition it. I mount the drive and open up disk utility, but it does not show up there. Any suggestions?

You cannot partition and format a drive over the network. You will need to connect the drives directly to your computer first in order to partition and format them (unless that's already been done at the factory.) Read the documentation that came with them product or contact LaCie's tech support.
