Windows sees airport but cant connect, windows sees airport but cant connect

Set up internet sharing on my iMac, my android phone connects, my daughters iPod connects, no problem, her PC however sees my iMac wifi but cant connect to it, doesnt ask for password or anything?

With the cable modem cabled to the Base Station's ethernet WAN port (the one labelled with the "circle of dots" icon) pull power to both the Base Station and the modem for at least five minutes. Then plug the modem into power and wait a minute. Then plug the Base Station into power and wait a minute. Then try internet access again.

Windows XP laptop sees wireless network but won't connect

I set up a wireless network on my airport extreme using my MacBook. The McBook runs great on the wireless network. My old Dell laptop running Windows XP sees the wireless network I created (with full signal strength) but every time I hit "connect" I get the following error message, "Windows is unable to connect to the selected network. The network may no longer be in range. Please refresh the list of available networks, and try to connect again." When I referesh the list, the wireless network is still there, and i still cannot connect, getting the same error message.
Any suggestions?

Hello apetera. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Per chance are you using WEP for your wireless encryption?
If so, one of the problems with WEP is that the actual standard relies on a 10 character HEX key for 40bit WEP and a 26 character HEX key for 128bit WEP.
In order to make things easier, vendors use certain algorithms to convert simple alphanumeric passwords (or passphrases) into HEX keys, thus enabling the use of simple easy to remember WEP password rather than lengthy HEX keys. The problem is that different vendors use different algorithms to generate the HEX key and therefore a ASCII password on an AEBS will be hashed differently on a non-Apple client and vice versa.

I have a new PC laptop with Windows 7 and Office 2010. I have an Airport Extreme, and installed Bonjour on my laptop. Bonjour "sees" my printer. When I try to print, the printer lights up -- but doesn't print. anyone have an idea? Thanks Gregg

Hi Kelly,
As someone who has to print from my Mac to a networked printer at home all the time, I can certainly understand how frustrating it must be to have that fail to perform as expected. Let's see if we can get you up and running.
I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
OS X Yosemite: Printing troubleshooting
Start with the section titled Check the network.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Windows XP MCE sees network but won't connect

Hello
I've managed to get my AAEB working with two of my computers, one is a regular desktop which is connected through the wired outputs, this works like a charm.
The other is my personal laptop, an Acer Ferrari with Windows XP pro, this now also works perfectly on the wireless system.
Now I'm trying to get my brothers laptop to connect to our network and internetconnection through the AAEB. His laptop sees the network but when I try to connect to it it's not possible, I never even get to the part where I have to enter the password.
I'm using WPA/WPA2 for security and as stated having no problems on my own computer that's running WinXP Pro, but this one that runs WinXP MCE can't connect.
I've tryed disabling the security on the AAEB and when I do that it's possible to connect with the WinXP MCE.
Please help :'(

Thank you very much for your suggestion.
It might be me who doesn't understand fully what you mean but my problem is that I can't get the PC to connect to the wireless network.
If I plug in a ethernet cable everything works like a charm however. But I just get an error when trying to connect to the Wlan that the network might not be available anymore, eventhough I'm using it on my personal laptop at this very moment.
edit in response to your post also, I never get far enough for it to even try to recieve an IP

My hotspot won't connect my computer to the internet since I upgraded my phone to ios7. The PC sees the hotspot but won't connect. The op sys on the PC is windows 7 ultimate. Can anyone help?

Glad to hear it is all straightened out. You are right about the upgrade cost. That is one reason why Adobe switched to monthly licensing—no more upgrade cost <g, r, & d>. Of course we do have nearly monthly product upgrades. It is almost like playing whack a mole.

Windows XP (SP3) laptop - sees Airport Extreme, won't connect

I am using an older (2003) Toshiba Satellite laptop that is running Windows XP with Service Pack 3. I had been using a Linksys G router and adapter for years with no problem, but we recently upgraded to a Time Capsule for Wireless-N. We're using WPA/WPA2 Personal security. My wife's Macbook Pro connects with no problems at all.
The laptop will connect when the network is unsecured, but it won't connect with WPA security. I see the network under the "Choose a wireless network" choice, I can double-click it, I enter the password, and it then thinks for about a minute. After that, it just stops with no message at all, and I'm still not connected. I updated the drivers to no avail, and the card (Linksys WPC54G) specs say it supports WPA. Any idea what the problem might be?
Thanks!

Hello ChrisLS. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Check out the following iFelix article to see if it will help: Problems connecting an XP PC to an Airport Base Station. Although it is written for connecting to an AirPort Base Station, it will apply equally as well for the Time Capsule.

Windows 7 laptop "sees" Airport Extreme, but Airport not communicating

Airport Extreme is access point to internet in our home, and has been working fine with all Apple products and my husband's Windows laptop.... until he was forced to update to Windows 7 (work laptop). Now, although he can physically see the Airport Extreme, it fails to accept the internet key (password) from his laptop. The key he attempts to use is the same as the one I use to gain internet access from my MacBook Pro - and the password has been verified (Safari/Preferences/Passwords) to be correct - not just from memory. Anyone else with this issue? Thanks for your input.

Hi
Have fitted a Belkin adaptor to laptop running WINXP

Wireless connection icon shows in System tray -

This means that you are not connected merely seeing the network.
Have entered (i think) all detailed at iFelix
http://www.efelix.co.uk/tech/1010.html including WEP
password.
You can confirm it is a WEP issue, by turning WEP off, can you now connect?
Are you using MAC Address Access Control? If so have you added the PC's MAC address to the Access List?
Are there any settings i need to make in IE Tools
Internet Options.
It might also be worthwhile checking your internet settings
Start -> Control Panel -> Internet Options
Click the Connections tab
Ensure that the Never dial a connection is checked.
Click LAN Settings
and check that all the settings are unchecked (especially the proxy server settings)...
What are your TCP/IP settings?
They should be Obtain IP and DNS information automatically.
Airport Extreme is connected via ethernet to Netgear
834 router
The Airport Extreme should be configured to NOT distribute IP addresses.

Hello lucky3480;
I don't know what else to do. I'm thinking of possibly returning the unit and purchasing a wireless internet card to install in the tower. Any help you can provide would be great. Even suggesting a good wireless card at this point
Well it looks like you're not having any luck at all with this AX set up but please don't give on it just yet, it's a good choice for extending your Network. Your on the right path, just going backwards and in the wrong direction. You'll learn a lot about stuff this way but may lead to other issues.
Before I continue, let me know if you have returned the AX or still need help. Here's a link to Apple's PDF about [Designing AirPort Networks|http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/Designing_AirPort_Networks10.5-Windows.pdf] Click on it to open in Safari but then save it to your desktop. Now open it from your desktop and start reading Chapter 3, page 42.

My MacBook Pro sees my Windows 8.1 desktop but denies access.

I am trying to connect my MacBook Pro with my Windows 8.1 desktop. The MacBook sees the desktop but denies me access. The Desktop does not see my MacBook Pro. I would like to connect so I can see files I have on the desktop.

However, http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1720 mentions that the late 2011 MacBook Pro supports Windows 8/8.1.
not really
his download contains the Windows Support Software (Windows Drivers) you need to support 64 bit versions of Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 8.1 on your Mac.
this bit state that the zip file in question have drivers for both windows7 8 and 8.1
so the fact that the mac is listed does not imply that it support all 3

TS1372 After the latest iTunes update iTunes no longer sees either of my ipods. Diagnostics says no ipod connected. However my laptop, which is running Window 8.1 does see the ipod.

After the latest iTunes update neither of my iPods are recognized by iTunes, so I am unable to sync. When I run diagnostics it says no device connected. My laptop sees my iPod so I know it is connected. I have tried all of the recommended iTunes fixes and none work. I tried deleting and reinstalling both an older version and the newest version. The older version would not reconize my music libray. Any thouhts?

I tried deleting and reinstalling both an older version and the newest version.
Doublechecking. Have you also tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:

Connection To Airport Extreme Good, But It No Longer Sees Internet?

I have my airport extreme daisy chained to my verizon wireless router with an Ethernet cable, and this has worked great until now. My verizon wireless router is still working and connected to the Internet, but my airport extreme no longer sees the Internet yet I am still able to connect to it with my Mac book.

When I connect wireless to the AE it shows a connection to it, but I am unable to access the Internet. When I connect wireless to my primary router I am able to access the Internet.
This is why I believe the AE is not connected to the Internet.
I tried the unplug for 15 minutes and plug it back in with no luck. I do have a green light on, I am showing a connection to it from the Mac book, but still no email no web surfing, no Internet. If I unplug the Ethernet cable from the back of the AE and connect it directly to my Mac book Internet works just fine. So the feed is good, but no wireless Internet coming from the AE.

Airport utility is not working on Windows. I can configure Airport Expresses with the Macbook but multiple computers with Windows and the latest Airport Utility time out after trying to connect to the router for setup.

I have been trying to setup Airpot Expresses (both old and new models) for a while now with the Airpot Utility 5.6.1 for Windows without any luck. I have tried this on multiple windows machines, factory reseted the devices if I needed to, but I have not had any success since this software arrived. I see the routers on the Airport Utility UI, I click on it then try to connect to set it up. At this point, it gets stuck with a long progress bar trying to connect to the device without any success. I also have a Macbook Pro, and this device & software has had no trouble setting up the routers. The problem is, we are shipping these small routers out to customers who use Windows machines and it is vital that the user can modify the settings using Airpot Utility. I am at a loss for what to do and if we can't find any solutions, we are going to move on to a different company for the routers we ship out.

Thanks a lot i followed the instructions for safe mode (i found out that i was pressing the C button after restarting) i did whats written there but the repair couldn't be performed so in addition i needed to re-formate the HD so i erased the volume and then repaired the disk--> quite disk utilities --> start the installation from the installation DVD.
Thanks really appreciating your help

I installed a new wifi router and airport will not connect automatically to it. It sees the network but will not connect unless I tell it to.

I installed a new wifi router and airport will not connect automatically to it. It sees the network but will not connect unless I tell it to. I can't find anywhere in the utility or network preferences that will allow me to choose this router as the default. How do I fix this? BTW I'm using Lion.

Are there any previous networks that you have used that have the same password as Molly? YES
Using System Preferences > Network > AirPort Advanced again, you need to remove any listings of previous networks that used the same password as Molly. Click the name of the network and click the - (minus) button at the bottom of the list of connections.
Also delete any other networks (except Molly at the top of the list) that might have used the same name...Molly in the past.
Delete any other networks that you no longer need so that your Mac will search for networks more quickly
Click OK, then click Apply
Open KeyChain Access and look for a listing of any old networks that you no longer need. Click to highlight the name of the network, then click the Delete Key on your computer.
Then look for any old networks that might have used the name Molly in the past and do the same for them.
Then look for any old networks that might have used the same password as the password for your "new" Molly network and delete them in the same way
Click the KeyChain Access menu just next to the Apple icon in the upper left corner of the computer screen
and then click KeyChain First Aid
Enter the main administrator password for the Mac you are using and highlight the Repair button. Then click Start. You will see a message that repairs have been completed
Quit Keychain Access
Power down the entire network...all devices...order is not important
Power up the modem first, then your main router, the other devices one at a time
Log on to Molly and see if the Mac remembers it after a few tries. If not, I'm afraid that you will need to change the name of the wireless network and password on your router due to corruption issues on the Mac. You have done everything possible without re-installing the complete operating system.

ITunes (and Airfoil) can see Airport Express but can't connect in Windows XP (error -15000) - firewall problems?

I am using Windows XP Professional 2002 w/ SP3 on a Dell Latitude E4300 laptop wirelessly connecting to my Airport Express 802.11n (firmware 7.5.2).
I can see my Airport Express in iTunes 10.4.1 and can select it via the Airplay button. iTunes even detects whether or not a speaker is connected to the Airport Express. But when iTunes tries to connect, it comes back after a while saying "An error occurred while connecting to the Airplay device xxx. An unknown error occurred (error -15000)."
A similar problem happens with Airfoil from Rogue Amoeba that I use to stream music from other apps such as VideoLAN to Airport Express on the same laptop. I can see that my Airport Express is available but when Airfoil tries to connect, it comes back saying "It appears that a firewall on this computer is preventing Airfoil from connecting to xxx Airport Express. Please check your firewall settings and try again."
I've set both Airplay and iTunes as exception programs in my Windows Firewall setting, and even added TCP ports 5000 to 5005 and UDP ports 6000 to 6005 to the exceptions as recommended by Airfoil. I've also disabled Symantec Endpoint Protection that Ihave installed. The only thing I can't disable is McAfee Endpoint Encryption, since I also use the laptop at work and I don't have permission to disableMcAfee. I use this laptop to connect wirelessly with other devices such as HP wireless printers, NAS drives and other laptops on my home network and have never had any issues, so i think that this issue is specific to the Airplay software being blocked by some firewall (I am assuming Airfoil also uses Airplay).
I've tried this on different wireless networks and I have the same issue with Windows XP on my Dell Latitude E4300. I've also set up the network with no security, but the problem doesn't go away.
I also tried downgrading iTunes to 10.3.1 but won't work. I think it's an Airplay issue, not a specific iTunes issue, since I'm facing the problem with Airfoil as well.
How do I trace what is going on that is preventing iTunes and Airfoil from streaming to the AirportExpress within Windows XP?
I also have another Dell Inspiron laptop on the same network running on Windows Vista, and have no problems streaming music from iTunes or Airfoil to the Airport Express on the same network, even when the network is WPA-2 Personal (TKIP+AES) protected (I've seen other postings where WPA has been an issue, WEP has not, but in my case, this is not an issue). Ditto with my iPad2.
Thanks for your help!

I have the same problem with Windows 7 64bit. ITune can see AE and stream Music well. Airfoil, TuneBlade (airplay soft) can also see AE but can't connect and stream music. I ' ve already tried to setup firewall Exception list, even turning off firewall off both windows and antivirus but still got the same problem with the message 'Airfoil was unable to connect to the remote speaker " ... 's Airport Express". Please check the firewall on the computer where " ...'s Airport Express" is running and try again'. Any help would be appreciated !.
