Windows Media problem with Airport N

I'm having an odd problem. Since upgrading my airport to the new version, I can't get certain Windows Media files to play. They worked perfectly before with Flip4Mac and on my MacPro with XP bootcamp, but now I get a "URL not found" error. It doesn't work on any of my computers, Intel mac, PPC mac, or XP via boot camp or parrells. These files have been confirmed to work out side mty network.... Also other WMV files on other sites work fine, CNN for example.
Any insight? Is there something wrong in my set up? Is it a bug? Hmmmm....
Examples of the files in question can be found here:

Thanks for any help that you can give me. My grades depend on it!
Airport Extreme N Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Hm, so far away, without testing somethings its hard to say, thats happen.
Its not clear for me ... at first you say, we talking about airport extreme, now it is an airport express - thats different. Because, in default mode the airport extreme work as an cable modem/router. The first physical port (marked as Ethernet WAN Port) is configured as an P2P line.
You can use that port as an normal Ethernet port, but need to configure. May, that ist the problem.
The configuration have to be "bridging". See http://support.apple.com/kb/PH5104

Windows 8 Problems with Airport/Airtunes

Installed Windows 8 from Windows 7, reinstalled latest version of iTunes and Airport Utility. iTunes now no longer "sees" Airtunes speakers (connected through multiple Airport Express units throughout house). Speakers are seen by all Apple devices (Mac, iPhones), so I know they are connected.
Also, when I run Airport Utility, it doesn't discover the Airport Extreme basestation, and it doesn't show any of the Airport Express units.
Any ideas? Is Airtunes just not supported on Windows 8 yet?
I tried repairing Bonjour in installed applications interface, no luck.

Apple does not yet provide any support for Win8 which means there are no drivers for Win8 which is why you don't have any wireless support for Win8. I suggest that if you wish to run Windows you revert to Win7.

Windows Media Player with 10.4.6

My first post here so I hope I do it right.
My question relates to using the Windows Media Player with the new Operating System. I just upgraded from v.10.2 to 10.4. Once I upgraded I was no longer able to open any files in Windows Media player. I figure,no big deal, I just need to upgrade my Media Player. I downloaded Windows Media 9 Player for Mac. Installed no problem but when I try to open I get the message "The application Windows Media Player closed unexpectedly". I then downloaded and installed Flip4Mac as well, but I got the same error messsage.
Am I just missing something obvious?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Both work here without any problem. I suspect a bad installation. Start over by first deleting these from ~/Library/Preferences/: com.microsoft.mediaplayer.plist, Windows Media Favorites, Windows Media Player Prefs; these from /Library/Internet Plug-ins/: /Disabled Plug-ins/Windows Media Plugin, Flip4Mac WMV Plugin.plugin, and Flip4Mac WMV Plugin.webplugin; and the Flip4Mac WMV.prefPane from /Library/Preference Panes/Flip4Mac WMV.prefPane, restarting, repairing permissions, reinstalling WMP and see if it launches. If so, reinstall Flip4Mac and see if that launches. If you have any problems, report back.

Problems with Airport setup after buying Version 7 models, (older ones will not upgrade)
I re set up my Airport network , having had 4 expresses for years doing a good job. I bought another and an express, but then a time capsule after my external drive died. .Problems with Airport setup after buying Version 7 models, (older ones will not upgrade)
I moved house and have fibre network so 38mb/s - they all look ok on the utility, but its not till I saw the App version that they are not compatible as mac will not upgrade the version 6 ones, leaving me with 2 disjointed networks and 7 appliances, 4 of the old , 3 of the new.
my new house is expansive so i wanted the extended range and airplay in each room.
This is not told to customers, and utility doesnt show any issues.
I do not seem to get any range from either network now, - and I'm quite experienced with airport (6 yrs of setting up & using & extending)
Any advice ?

why is streaming to my sony TV slowing to .4 mbps from 8.ombps while watching a netflix movie? this has become a problem in the last 2 months. This also happens on another TV but not concurrently.. Is it a problem with "airport extreme" or with the IP service? Airport extreme software is up to date.
please advise

For what it's worth, you posted this in 2011, and here in 2014 I am still having this same issue. Over the last two days, I have had to unlock my apple account 8 times. I didn't get any new devices. I haven't initiated a password reset. I didn't forget my password. I set up two factor authentication and have been able to do the unlocking with the key and using a code sent to one of my devices.
That all works.
It's this having to unlock my account every time I go to use any of my devices. And I have many: iMac, iPad, iPad2, iPad mini, iPhone 5s, iPod touch (daughter), and my old iPhone 4 being used as an ipod touch now. They are all synced, and all was working just fine.
I have initiated an incident with Apple (again) but I know they are just going to suggest I change my Apple ID. It's a simple one, and one that I am sure others think is theirs. I don't want to change it. I shouldn't have to. Apple should be able to tell me who is trying to use it, or at least from where.
Thanks for listening,
Melissa

Problem with Airport express N (2nd gen)

Problem with Airport express N (2nd gen)
Firmware 7.6.4
ISP - 20 Mbps ethernet cable
I have MacBook Air 13 mid 2013 os x 10.9.5, ipad 4 ios 8.0.2, ipad4 ios 7.1.2 , iphone 5 ios 7.1.1
When i try to use speedtest.net from my Macbook i got good results of download speed and incredible upload http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/3801286946 (connection 300 Mbps) , both ipads got terrible speedtest download result and incredible uploadhttp://www.speedtest.net/my-result/i/981631804 (connection 150 Mbps), iphone 5 got bad download and great uploadhttp://www.speedtest.net/my-result/i/981695357.
All these tests were done near airport express with really good signal and 5ghz. I tried to choose different channels, 802.11 mode, guest ssid, 5ghz ssid ...
I think that something is wrong with my new airport express. Can anyone help me to solve this problem?
ps sorry for my bad english

As a last resort, try a factory default reset on the AirPort Express as follows:
Power off the AirPort Express
Wait a minute
Hold in the reset button first, and keep holding it in for another 8-10 seconds while you simultaneously plug the Express back in to power
Release the reset button after the hold period and allow a full minute for the Express to restart to a slow, blinking amber light status
On an iPhone or iPad home screen....
Tap Settings
Tap WiFi
Look for a heading of Setup a New AirPort Base Station. If it appears.....
Tap on AirPort Express just below the heading to start the configuration process on the Express again
If you try several factory default resets, and the AirPort Express does not appear under the heading of Setup a New AirPort Base Station, the Express most likely is defective and will need to be replaced.

Problems with AirPort and WPA access point

Okay, I have done quite a bit of research and I still cannot resolve my problem because of this, I am turning to this user community.
Here is what I know as of right now:
I am running Windows OS X 10.4.4 with AirPort Update 2005-001. My Access Point is a 3COM 8250.
The AP is setup not to broadcast its SSID, to use WPA-TKIP (or in Apple terminology, WPA Personal) and the password is set to use alphanumeric.
When I try to connect my PowerBook with the SSID name, WPA Personal and the correct password, I get the following error:
The password you entered is not correct for the Airport network *******.
To troubleshoot here are the test I have run and their outcomes:
Test
- Result
Set the AP to completely open
- Connected
Set the AP to open, didn't broadcast the SSID
- Connected
Set the AP to WEP, broadcast the SSID
- Connected
Set the AP to WEP, didn't broadcast the SSID
- Connected
Set the AP to WPA & WEP, broadcast the SSID
- WEP : Connected
- WPA : Not Connected
Set the AP to WPA & WEP, didn't broadcast SSID
- WEP:Connected
- WPA:Not Connected
Set the AP to WPA only
- Not Connected.
Now, I should mention that when I was running 10.3.3 I could not connect either. The AP is running the newest firmware and I have three Windows XP SP2 laptops / workstations that can connect with no problems.
I have tried to find a compatibility matrix on both 3COM's and Apple's websites to see if it might be a compatibility issue but I have not been able to find one on either site.
Any help that anyone could provide would be greatly appreciate.
Thanks in advance.
17" PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.4)

Hello MisssAsh. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
It's always a good idea to do a complete power recycle when changing network configurations.
Try the following, in order, checking for Internet access after each step, until resolved:
1. If the modem has a reset switch, use it to reset the modem. Wait at least 5-10 minutes for the modem to initialize.
2. Remove power from the modem. If it has a backup battery, remove this as well. Wait 5-10 minutes. Replace the battery, and add power back to the modem.
3. Perform a complete power recycle of your network components as follows:
Modem/Router Power Recycling - Quick
o Power-off the modem, AirPort Express Base Station (AX), & computer(s); Wait at least 5 minutes.
o Power-on the modem; Wait at least 5 minutes.
o Power-on the AX; Wait at least 5 minutes.
o Power-on the computer(s)
If this fails to get the modem to "recognize" the Internet router, then try the "Full" version.
Modem/Router Power ReCycling - Full
o Power-off the modem, AX, & computer(s). (Wait at least 30 minutes. If possible, leave the modem off overnight.)
o Power-on the modem; Wait at least 15 minutes.
o Power-on the AX; Wait at least 5 minutes.
o Power-on the computer(s)
4. Contact your ISP to have them perform a "modem reset."

Timecapsule and iMac Early 2008 - Problems with Airport Utility

I have bought a new iMac and a TimeCapsule. With *Leopard 10.5.5* i have some problems to change the configuration. The Assistant will not work. The changed settings will not send to theTime Capsule (Ethernet or and Wireless). The airport signal is _very low_ under OSX (-60 — -64 dB). When I use airport with Windows XP on Bootcamp partition it will work fine. No problems with changing settings and the signal is -1 db.
Who has the same problems or can help me!

Do the black bars drop also at these times?

Big problem with Airport Extreme and Vivax Provider in Brazil

Hello guys.
I live in Brazil and I bought my Airport Extreme in a recent trip to USA.
For some years I was a client of Telefonica and had an ADSL link, I had a D'Link G604T to do both the modem and router operation in the same box. I was happy with my connection of 1Mbps.
In a recent promotion of Vivax I switched to a cable connection to have both TV and Internet at the same operator, my link now has 3Mbps.
With this pack I also received free one RCA cable modem model DCM425B, it was installed fine in one computer only. Everything was fine my connection was faster the old one.
So I went to install the Airport Extreme to make things even better.
After I installed I went to see the web status of my modem, all parts were looking fine, but the modem could not see the computer. Bad sign.
I talked to Vivax support people and apparently it was a problem with their network setup and they manage to make it right. My model now sees my computer.
After that problem was solved I could not make AE to work with the modem, it had the green light and the setup looked fine, but I could not open any site. I tried to turn off my modem and AE, waited some minutes and turned on first my modem and after it was up I turned on AE. All lights looked fine but again no connection to any site.
I called again the Vivax support center and they tried to help me but the don't know AE and they could not help me with all the details but said there was 2 10.x.x.x coming from my side. So I tried to use in bridge mode. I also selected the 192.x.x.x range instead of 10.x.x.x as default.
After many setups and turn off and on again my connection is working but I have a big problem with wireless. If I turn it on I loose my connection, it seems that AE sends 2 equal ethernet address to Vivax and their network don't like it cutting me off.
So my connection setup is like this:
RCA Cable modem model DCM425B at 3Mbps using a 200.x.x.x ip
Airport Extreme connected to a Mac and a Windows PC by wire using the 192.x.x.x range ip
Wireless is off
Bridge mode is on
This the only way I could make it work.

After a firmware update it worked fine.

Windows media player with safari for windows

Hi everyone
just a little problem of mine...
safari seems unable to detect windows media player. I get a message about 'content of MIME type application/x-mplayer2' when I safari tries to use media player. I tried installing the plugin on this page http://www.apple.com/safari/download/plugins.html which didn't seem to work. I don't know if this is a mistake but the file name suggests the plugin is for firefox...
i have also tried installing quicktime and realplayer with no effect
help appreciated; thank you in advance!

Hi on_safari,
I don't know if this is a mistake but the file name suggests the plugin is for firefox...
Safari and Firefox (and other browsers) use the same interface for handling plug-ins so Safari should be able to use it nonetheless.
I tried installing the plugin on this page http://www.apple.com/safari/download/plugins.html which didn't seem to work.
Can you describe in more detail what you mean? What did you try and what happened? Were any error messages generated?

Can I export to Windows Media 1080p with same quality as Windows Live Movie Maker?

I am looking to replace Windows Live Movie Maker, because of the following:
it keeps crashing
it has occasional problems with audio sync when I use MTS source files
it has very limited editing features (especially inability to increase audio levels for a clip)
However, I would like to still render to 1080p Windows Media files for archiving. Does anyone know if there are settings I could use in Premiere to export to 1080p and get equivalent quality to WLMM? I have failed to find a combination of settings in Premiere that doesn't mess up the video with horizontal lines during motion. Here is an example:
When I use the 1080p export setting in WLMM, the video comes out looking essentially the same as the original MTS files, like in this snapshot:
However, I have failed to find any settings in Premiere Elements that will give an equivalent result. Below is a snapshot from the Windows Media file I exported from Premiere:
And these are the settings I used:
My Equipment:
Canon Vixia HF200
Windows 7 x64
AMD Phenom II x4 945 3Ghz
4GB RAM
300GB 10K RPM HDD
ATI Radeon 4800 Series
Premiere Elements 8 trial
Thanks,
-Robyn

Hi Steve,
Thanks for the response. I did go back and verify the project setting, and I think I was originally using the wrong project settings. This is what I'm using now for the project:
And then to share, I went to Personal Computer -> WMV, and selected these advanced settings:
Unfortunately, I still see the jagged horizontal lines like the original screenshot I posted. I tried playing with other video export settings (constant bit rate, at 8,000 and 20,000 also), and with variable constrained/unconstrained output. I'm really at a loss for what is going on. I did confirm that it doesn't have the horizontal lines if I encode to MPEG, but the WMV problem persists.

An irritating problem with AirPort

Hi,
I've read a few forums addressing this issue but none of the proposed solutions have worked for me.
I am currently running a MacBook Pro on Snow Leopard (10.6.4) and my internet connection has just died. I tried unplugging the router, turning on/off AirPort and rebooting, attempting to renew the DHCP lease, but the problem still remains - AirPort has self-assigned an IP address and I am unable to connect to the Internet.
Does anyone know of a solution to this problem? I would greatly appreciate your help.
MANY, MANY THANKS.

OK, so I would check whether your computer works with your router when it is using the Ethernet connection, and I would check whether it works wirelessly at other wireless hotspot locations other than your home.
If this were my problem, that would guide me in deciding whether it is a hardware problem with the wireless or maybe a configuration problem such as MAC authentication in the router preventing affiliation or incompatible wireless protocols.
That new piece of information now confuses me about what exactly is your network topology. So are you running BootCamp on this computer and you can connect to the internet in the Windows boot camp partition but can't connect to the internet in the Apple partition? Or vice versa? Or none of the above? What is "excellent?" Full bars in the signal strength indicators? What computers/OSs are getting onto the internet for you, and what ones aren't?

Problems with Airport Card

I move back and forth from school to home, and I've never had a problem with my card before. I recently restored my compuer back to its factory settings, and it was running great with my Airport Express. I came home after moving, and my computer won't read the WPA hooked up in my house. It says I am connected, but won't let me access the internet. I'm not sure why. We tried rebooting the connection, I've looked on my computer, used system preferences and everything. I did notice when I tried to use the Network Setup Assistant, it said the password I used to connect was wrong, but when my computer uses the airport icon at the corner of the screen, it accepts the password. Any ideas on how to fix this?
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

An additional distressing note -- I went back to aforementioned building with the 10.4.5 Powerbook last night. Did a cold boot...and the Airport Express picked up the correct network DHCP info immediately. Roamed between a couple of WAPs, surfed a couple of sites, then sat down and tried to duplicate this feat...by re-booting at least 6 more times. Nada. I once again got factory default IP addresses on each attempted reboot. I changed nothing from the network settings I'd tried last week with this machine nor were any changes made to the network or WAPs. DHCP didn't work last week on several attempts (and reboots), worked ONCE yesterday on the first boot, then nothing again on the subsequent reboots.
Again, I'm stressing that there don't "seem" to be problems with the network or WAPs because Windows clients consistently obtain DHCP and authenticate without issue.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Can I use quicktime to watch windows media streaming with authentication?

I everyone. I am running into a problem here. I have a Mac Book Pro and would like to watch some windows media streams. Until last month I was using Quicktime to watch them because they were not protected. But beginning on this month they implemented a security access where we need to put login and password in order to watch the stream.
If I try to acess that mms using Windows Media Player or Real Player on Windows, it opens a pop up asking for my username and password. However on my Mac Book Pro I can't get to this authentication screen using any player.
I have tried Quicktime, but also tried VLC, Real Player and Windows Media Player 9 for Mac. None of these play the mms since they started using the authentication scheme.
Can anyone help? Can I somehow authenticate to the sever and watch the mms on my Mac Book Pro? (I know I can use a Virtual Machine and watch this on Windows, but I would prefer to not depending on Windows)
Appreciate any help!
Denis

Sorry, I should have clarified that. MMS is the stream protocol used by Microsoft Media Services (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MicrosoftMediaServices) .
I know Quicktime could run it if I have Flip4Mac installed, that's why I could watch those streams until last month. The problem started after then applied authentication to those streams. Now when I go to Quicktime, select "Open URL" option, and add the stream mms address (mms://link), it just doesn't do anything. It is something with the authentication because when there was no authentication it just worked perfectly.
Is there any way to make Quicktime authenticate to a Windows Media Server?

Prepositioning windows media content with centrally managed CDM and CEs

We have recently installed a configuration of Cisco CEs and one CDM (model 566) to support windows media streaming from our intranet IIS/Windows Media servers. We have configured routers in area locations to transparently re-route WMT requests to a locall CE. We are trying to preposition windows media content from our web servers to the CEs. We have configured a device group for a channel associated with each web/windows media server but are UNABLE to get any content replicated down to the CEs. The failure begins with the root CE. I have tried content channels requests by IP number and specific wmv references within the WIndows Media publishing point, using mms protocol, by FQDN with publishing points and specific single file references and by FQDN crawl jobs. Nothing is working. I am able to open up specific wmv files using the same paths within a windows media client or IE browser with no problem.
IS there something special to be done here? The configuration is for on-demand--not multicast access--and I have only tried using the CDM's gui interface to set up the job--no manifest file.
This should be easy but it is proving to be very frustrating and Cisco CE support has not id'd the issue. Is it an authentication issue between the root CE and web/WM server? something else?

thanks, believe or not, I'm just now getting back to this issue due to a prolonger issue affecting all of our Content Devices that I won't bore you with....anyway, do you know whether the newer versions of ACNS, spec. 5.5.5 fix this issue...currently running 5.3.5
