Wireless Apple TV to wired Windows workstation

Greetings,
I have an Apple TV 3 that is connected to my wireless network that is provided by my Airport Express. Everything works great when streaming from the Internet. What I am having an issue with is connecting via Home Sharing to my wired Windows 7 workstation. I have followed all of the troubleshooting steps, but it still cannot seem to see the library. To make things more interesting, when I connect my Windows 8 laptop (different machine) via wireless to my network and turn on iTunes Home Sharing, the Apple TV can see the Win 8 library AND the Win 7 library.
I am using an Apple TV 3 connected wirelessly to an Airport Express. The Windows 7 workstation is connected via Ethernet to a desktop switch. The desktop switch is connected via Ethernet to my Comcast SMC cable modem/router (I firmly believe this device is the issue). The Airport Express is connected via Ethernet to the same SMC cable modem/router.
I have tried turning off all firewalls. I can connect to the Airport Express from the Windows 7 workstation via the Airport Utility, but only by manually entering the IP address, it cannot seem to scan the network and find it.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to pinpoint the issue; and/or, fix the SMC device to get it out of the way?
Thank you in advance. I appreciate your time.
Keith

Is the Apple Wireless Keyboard fully compatible with Windows 7 in Boot Camp?

If you have an iMac running Snow Leopard and Windows 7, will the Apple Wireless Keyboard work properly in Windows 7 (via Boot Camp)?
I'm asking because a friend of mine has an Apple Wired Keyboard that they want to get rid of, and upgrade to an Apple Wireless Keyboard. However, their concern is that the Apple Wireless Keyboard won't work properly (or reliably) when they run Windows 7 on their iMac.

I'm using an Apple Wireless Keyboard running Boot Camp and Windows 7 64 bit right now typing this. Seems to run just fine under Windows 7 for me. Some of the familiar Windows keyboard keys are not present, of course, though there are key mappings to get to those too. I actually like this keyboard a lot, under Windows 7 or OS X.

Apple wireless mouse not working in Windows 7

I have Windows 7 loaded in Boot Camp and, for the most part, it works perfectly.
However, neither my Magic Mouse nor my Super Drive work ... at least, not immediately. My wireless Apple keyboard works perfectly and instantly, but my mouse only works after around a half hour after Windows opens and I haven't gotten the drive to work yet.
Any suggestions?
I'm flying a new iMac, 2.7 GHz Core i5, 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3, running Mountain Lion.

I had the exact same problem as you did (less the drive) Kybd ok mouse didn't work, after installing Updates for Win 7 (about 100+ lol) then my BT kybd stopped working
In the Bootcamp Discussions there is a post about that. The post I didn't bookmark (i will from now on) but I followed this instruction posted (I copied & pasted to Notes)
"Control Panel > Device Manager > Network Adapters > Broadcom 802.11n Network Adapter (right click and choose "Properties". Under the "Advanced" tab, highlight the setting named "Bluetooth Collaboration", then change it to Enable. Then click OK."
After that wasn't working yet so, I went to start menu selected Devices & Printers...(if I recall), in the window selected "Magic Mouse icon (it was always showing but not working) right click & selected "Properties" for Magic Mouse, don't remember which tab it was but a driver was listed I checked it and clicked ok after a couple of minutes both the BT mouse and kybd worked and hasn't stopped since.
Sorry for lack of precise instruction, not exactly a techie, but can handle myself somewhat in front of a screen & kybd.
Hope this helps, it did for me, good luck

Cisco ISE windows workstation endpoint profiling

Hi all,
i am configuring cisco ISE to autenticate wireless clients using 802.1x . AP's are all lightweight managed by a cisco 5508 WLC . I would like to discriminate users accessing that wlan using mobile phones or tablet from users connecting using windows workstations. ISE profiles all mobile devices in the right way, iphones and ipad are profiled as apple devices and even MAC OSX devices are profiled correctly. The problem is that all windows workstation are profiled as unknown devices.In ISE i'm using windows workstation default profile configuration.
what can i check to make windows workstation profile working correctly?
Thanks in advance.
Regards

i noticed that default profile for microsoft workstations uses dhcp probe to profile devices, so i solved the issue adding in our core switch, to the vlan interface used to tag dot1x wireless lan, ise ip address as ip helper-address. I don't know if that is the best solution or there's something i can do on WLC to avoid adding ip helper-address on vlan interface but this worked for me.
Thanks to all for helping me.
Regards

Help with very slow connection if apple tv linked to wireless apple keyboard

My husband and I trying to connect the wireless Apple keyboard to our Apple tv so we can get rid of the pesky and cumbersome Apple tv clicker. However, when we do so, our connection slows to a crawl and we cannot access sites like Netflix et al. We disconnected Bluetooth from our Mac Book Pro as we noticed that the keyboard serves only one master. This did not fix the problem. We are at our wits' end. Your help would be immensely appreciated.
Oh, and also, I had been thinking of installing AirPort Utilty. Is this a good idea and why do I not see it in the AppStore, only on websites of dubious provenance?
Thousand thanks,
J and F
Er, and while we're at it, why do we need to choose between my apple address and my husband's when we set up homesharing? This is another clunky thing that simply is opaque.

However, when we do so, our connection slows to a crawl and we cannot access sites like Netflix et al.
Not caused by the keyboard. It connects via BluTooth, the video services over eithernet. They have nothing to do with one another. There is something else going on. Have you tried connecting ATV via a wired connection instead of WiFi.
why do we need to choose between my apple address and my husband's when we set up homesharing?
Because you can only use one AppleId. It would be a huge leagal mess if it displayed content from multiple accounts at the same time. The copyright holders would never allow it.

I have a macmini on order, I wonder if I can pair the wireless apple keyboard and magic touchpad without using any other input devices, especially, since everything is brand new and not yet paired.

You may just want to save yourself any possible issues
by just hooking up a wired keyboard and mouse on first
start up. Any USB keyboard and mouse should work.
There have been many that have had problems on first boot
using the Bluetooth devices.

Wireless computers cannot see wired computers

I'm a bit frustrated at this point: It seems like such a simple problem:
I have both wireless and wired computers connected to my Verizon router (Westell, I think).
All computers can access the Internet
All computers are Windows 7 with all updates.
The "wired" computers can see each other and share files and printers.
The "wireless" computers can only see internet, not other computers.
I have a working "home group" between the wired computers.
The wireless computers say there is no homegroup available to connect to. Also, Network in Windows does not show any other computers on the wireless ones.
Wireless security is WPA/2
I have run every "Troubleshooter" that I can find, in Windows and the Verizon In-Home Agent.
The closest I have come to figuring this out is that I have seen some discussion about "bridging" the wireless network to the wired network. It seems that this setting is part of the Router setup, but I am just guessing at this point.
Any help would be appreciated.

I have 1 wireless and 2 wired PCs and I too have had trouble with the wireless PC “seeing” the wired PCs (and vice versa) in Network and HomeGroup.
Occasionally, the wireless PC name would be displayed in HomeGroup and Network on a wired PC but every attempt at connecting would fail.
I’ve researched this problem by reading quite a few forums (including several Microsoft forums) and implemented many suggestions with no results. All of the modifications dealt with settings within Windows, remove and reconnect to the HomeGroup, HomeGroup and Sharing options, etc. but this was the first suggestion to affect the router.
All 3 PCs had no problems or issues accessing the Internet. The only issue was the inability to transfer files across the LAN.
I have an “older” Verizon Actiontec MI424-WR (Rev C) router using WPA2. All three PCs are running Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 (64-bit). The wireless PC has an internal 802.11n WiFi card and proximity to the router didn’t have any affect with the problem.
After I modified IGMP Proxy to Disabled and rebooted router (just to be safe), the problem was solved. I’ve monitored the situation for the past 2 days and both the wireless and wired PCs have been able to consistently see each other in Homegroup and Network. Connectivity has been consistent and file transfers have been working beautifully. Internet access and speed (using http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/) has not been affected on any PC.
A thought: The problem may have resulted from changing from WEP to WPA2. It’s been such a long time since that change including PC hardware changes, OS upgrades, additional hardware that uses WiFi, and other wireless items that could produce interference, I can’t be sure when the problem first occurred.
I can’t explain why it worked but changing IGMP Proxy to Disabled, in my circumstance, solved the problem.

HT202577 Is the apple configurator available for Windows in order to push profiles to apple TVs?

We currently have a windows environment at work and use 802.1x authentication and have some 1st generation apple TVs. We would like to get them on our wireless but are having issues. I would like to push profiles to these apple TVs to see if I can get them on but I am not going to buy a Mac to do it.
Is the apple configurator available for Windows or even ubuntu?

Hello,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Apple Configurator requires both Mac OS X, and the most up to date version of iTunes, and can only be installed from the Mac App Store.

Wired windows keyboard with 2009 iMac

According to two different Apple tech support people, I must erase my harddrive to get my iMac functioning properly again. To do so, I had to get a wired keyboard to replace my bluetooth keyboard, since the latter doesn't work for my purpose. How do I erase my harddrive using this windows keyboard? What's the windows analog to Apple's "command r" ? Needless to say, I'm pretty much a dummy here but follow instructions well.

Just an idea for you. There is an entire Apple Discussion forum dedicated to Boot Camp and Windows.
Whereas, not everyone here with an Intel iMac has installed, tried to install or has experience with BC & Windows, everyone there has or at least has an interest. You may attract help more quickly there.
The Forums are at the bottom of the main Apple Discussions page under Windows Compatible Technology. Here is a link;

Configure the Apple numeric keyboard under Windows in iMac

I have an iMac with Windows 7. How can I configure the Apple numeric keyboard under Windows?

From Apple:
Are there any Macintosh features that I should not expect to work when running Windows XP on an Intel-based Macintosh computer?
Even after installling the Macintosh Drivers CD, the Apple Remote Control (IR), Apple Wireless (Bluetooth) keyboard or mouse, Apple USB Modem, MacBook Pro's sudden motion sensor, MacBook Pro's ambient light sensor, and built-in iSight camera will not function correctly when running Windows.

Wireless Apple mouse

I have a new Apple wireless mouse that was about £60.
I bought it specifically for the side to side scrolling, but it isn't v. responsive. It takes several goes to get it to go left and right in documents and spreadsheets.
Up and down is fine.
Anyone else had the same problem?

Thanks.
Is this the mouse you are looking for? I have found it on a the Apple & Amazon UK website:

Are you sure that if I use my windows log in rather than my husbands, then open itunes it won't delete all his hundreds of songs and overwrite with mine?
I want to maintain my own apple ID login and he wants his but without losing his songs.....
how do i transfer the content of my itunes including apps and songs to the new computer. There doesn't seem to be an easy explanation on here. Do I just plug my iPhone in and it will all transfer?
