At the first time MBP recognizes the device and start the configuration, after 10 minutes OS X tell me that it occurred an error and i must restart the device. I restar the device but MBP didn't recognized anything!! There is a flashing yellow light on the airport and the system didn't recognized it...according you what is the problem? I also tried to reset it but nothing, the problem persist..... ;(

Is there anyone that can help me??

  • Airport Express light went out, stopped working.

    Airport Express light went out. iMac says the connection is "excellent," but it's not working (I use it to stream audio) and is getting very warm. Did it die?

    The usual cause of a dark LED is a failed AirPort Express. The reason your iMac reports an "excellent" connection is a mystery, but would be explained if it is actually connected to a different wireless network.
    The only potential remedy is a "hard reset" (see below). In rare occasions, repetitive and persistent attempts have been known to revive an ailing Express. There isn't anything else you can do. A "factory defaults reset" is identical, but is performed by keeping its reset button depressed while connecting it to power. Try that also.
    To "hard reset" an AirPort Base Station: make sure it's powered up, then gently press and hold its tiny reset button. Don't apply any more force than required to feel a tactile click.  Keep it depressed for five to ten seconds, long enough for its LED to flash amber rapidly. Release the reset button. Then, the LED will glow amber steadily for about a minute. Then, it will flash amber, slowly, about once every second or two, waiting for you to configure it with AirPort Utility.

    Open AirPort Utility - it's in your Mac's Utilities folder. Click the amber dot. It will tell you the reason it's asking for attention.

  • Airport express Blinks Yellow After Setup

    I'm sure this has been asked before, but I couldn't find the answer.
    I'm running windows xp on my desktop and have a DLink wireless router.
    I'm trying to use airport express to stream music to my stereo. I've had it up and running in the past, but my airport has been unplugged for the last month and now it's stopped working.
    I've set everything up with through the Admin utility with my airport connected to my router via ethernet.
    Everything is fine until I click to update, the airport restarts, then nothing... just a flashing yellow light.
    If anyone could point me in the right direction or tell me what I 'm doing wrong it would be greatly appreciated.

    Have you tried reseting it and starting from a clean slate? Set it up and then post back.

  • Airport express light is green but is not working

    My airport express is on,light is green, all of my computers see it though Airport Utility however the computer that is 2 feet away has no internet abilities. It however see the house network,sign in but no not able to communicate with other house computers as well as the internet. 'The lights are on but no one is at home'

    If all the other computers can connect to the Internet, try power cycling your entire network.
    Power everyhing down on the network...all devices, order is not important
    Wait a moment, then start the modem first and let it run a moment by itself
    Then start your AirPort Express the same way
    Continue starting the devices the same way until everything is back up
    Check for Internet connections on all devices
    Please post on your results

  • Airport Express Light Out

    I came home today to find myself disconnected from my Airport Express. When I went to check on it the light was neither green nor orange nor flashing. It was just off. I tried moving it to another outlet to test the outlets operability to no solution. Any ideas as to what may have suddenly went wrong with it? Thanks!

    Your problem is well known (http://www.hardmac.com/news/2006-11-17/#6139). Your Airport Express is dead. You can check this link to add your name at the list of owners of deceased airport express :

  • Airport express light won't stay on

    Earlier today my neighborhood had a power outage. I had everything plugged into working surge protectors but my Airport Express (couple years old) stopped working. Each time I plug it in, the green light comes on for a very brief flicker and then the indicator light goes out completely. Nothing comes back on and nothing happens. Resetting doesn't seem to do anything.
    Is it fried? Do I just need to buy a new one? I have 2 teenagers with ibooks that have lost their wireless internet now.
    Any suggestions on what this means or happened are greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    yes indeed it happens quite frequently actually.
    just have a look at this topic:

  • Airport Express light and temperature

    last thursdaymorning there was a power failure at my appartment and caused my AE fail to connect to my computer. He just kept blinking the green light.
    after i got back from work the green light was burning solid but still no connection from my computer.
    after done a reset to factory defaults there was still no connection with my computer, where normally he always gets to connect.
    also when i pulled the AE from out of the wall socket it felt really hot. can anyone tell me what can be the issue here?
    i can still connect to the internet by plugging the internet cable directly into my computer, but i cant use Airtunes right now.

    I assume you have not enabled the status light mode where the green light indicates network activity - a setting found by clicking on "Base Station Options" found under the Airport tab of the Airport Admin Utility?
    If not, it sounds like the LED status light is marginally defective. Yes, I'd expect Apple would provide you with a warranty replacement for your Airport Express.

  • Airport express light not coming on

    when connected to outlet and modem. does this mean the airport express has suddenly and completely stopped working?  will a hard factory reset fix this?

    If the AirPort Express is plugged into a working AC socket and the light is not on, unfortunately the power supply section of the AirPort Express has very likely failed.
    You can try a Factory Default Reset if you want, but it will be of no use if the power supply has failed.
    Unplug the Express from power
    Wait a minute
    Hold in the reset button on the Express first, and keep holding it in for another 9-10 seconds while you simultaneously plug the Express back into AC power
    Release the reset button after the hold period and allow a full minute for the Express to restart
    If the reset has somehow ressurrected the Express, you will see a solid amber light for about 30-40 seconds that will change to slow blinking at about 45 seconds. That would be your signal that the Express has been reset and now can be configured again.
    If the light remains off, the Express will need to be replaced.

  • Airport Express lights dead

    I have just returned from holiday, to find one of my Airport Express stations "dead". It is not showing any lights at all, neither amber nor green. My other Airport Express station, which acts as my base station is working fine, but this second one which was used to play music in a different room, and to extend the range of the base station, seems to have completely died.
    Anyone have any ideas as to what could be the problem, or how to determine if it really is completely dead. It was connected to a surge protector, which was left connected to the mains whilst I was away.

    If the status light doesn't go on, the unit is indeed dead.
    I don't think these devices are repairable. If you return one to Apple under warranty, I suspect they simply replace it and throw the old one away. If it isn't under warranty, your Apple service center will probably tell you to buy a new one.

  • HT4600 Airport Express light is solid green but I can not get on the internet.  Any clues as to what is wrong?

    Airport Exopress light is solid green, but I can not get on the internet.  Does anyone have a suggestion how to fix this?

    Would you please provide some more information about your current network so that we can help you? For example, is your AirPort Express the only router in your current network configuration? That is, is it connected directly to a broadband modem or to another router upstream of it? Regardless, what is the make & model of this modem?
    When changing network equipment or when setting it up for the first time, it is always a good idea to perform a completer power recycle of your networking equipment. Please check out the following AirPort User Tip for the details.

  • My computer cannot see my new airport express (Blinking Yellow)

    OK, Ive been sitting here for an hour and this thing keeps blinking yellow..lol
    I reset it twice but it will not appear in the airport setup utility.I am trying to extend my network from my Airport extreme in the basement.
    Im sitting 2 feet away from it on my macbook pro
    what gives?
    Message was edited by: Thomas Colontonio

    I hope you are sitting 2 feet away from the Airport Extreme with the Airport Express plugged in near it along with your MacBook.
    If not, you should do this all in the same room to begin with..
    Next, it sounds like you need to reset the new Express.
    Unplug it, push a clip into the reset button and while holding the reset button in, plug the Express back in and keep holding the clip in for at least 10 seconds.
    Now, wait a minute or two and see if the Express shows back up in the Airport Utility window.
    If it does, set it up again the way you want.

  • How can I tell what is causing wifi to drop - airport express light is green (iPad can find network, but no internet connection) and TWC cable modem has usual lights glowing?

    Everything seems normal, except getting the internet connection. I have an old airport express - 802.11g

    Is it the iPad that is the only device that cannot connect to the Internet....and other wireless devices can connect OK.....or.....is it a case of none of the wireless devices being able to connect to the Internet?
    One of the potential issues here is that the iPad cannot be used to make any configuration changes to the older version of the AirPort Express that you have, so hopefully you have another Mac there that could be used to make any changes if needed.

  • Airport express stays yellow when hooked up to ethernet

    I am using a cable moden, and can access the internet by connecting directly through ehternet. But when I put the ehternet cable in the Airport it does not turn green. I have reset it, the modem and nothing seems to work. any thoughts?

    Power everything off and ensure that the cable modem is turned off.
    Wait 30 minutes.
    Plug the cable modem in, then plug in the Airport Express.

  • Airport Express and Flashing Yellow - Please Help!

    I just purchased an Airport Express and cannot get anything the status indicator to flash anything other than a yellow. I am working on a Win 7 64 bit platform and my router is Netgear N600 (model WNDR3700). The only changes I made to the router is via its utility to enter the Airport ID MAC address into the Netgears "Wireless Acces List". I deperately need input on what I might be doing wrong or need to do to my router's setup. Below are what I have tried and status info:
    What I have tried:
    1) Entered the AIrport's MAC address into my Netgear Router's "Wireless Access List", as well as the Ether ID (out of desperation).
    2) Installed on my PC the latest version of the Airport Utility  (5.5.3).
    3) Plugged the Airport directly in port 4 of my Netgeat Router.
    4) Changed ethernet cables.
    5) Reset the Airport.
    6) Rebooted the Netgear and my PC.
    7) Plugged the ethernet cable from the modem directly into the Airport.
    Info:
    1) When the Airport is first turned on (ethernet is already plugged in), the status light turns solid greem, then goes to solid yellow for a bit, and then immediately goes to flashing yellow (approx 2 seconds between flashes) and stays that way.
    2) then If I run my Advanced IP Scanner if shows the Airport, an IP of 192.168.1.20, the Airport's ethernet MAC address. The status shows "Ok".
    3) If I unplug the Airport and click rescan on the IP Scanner the device remains present but the status is changed to "Dead".
    Despite what I tried I get only get the yellow flashing light? Do I have a bad Airport Express or is this a failure on my part to properly set up the Netgear? Thanks in advance for any help offered.

    The AirPort Express flashing yellow means it it not receiving a valid IP address. This is issued by your router.
    I recommend disabling your Netgear's "Wireless Access List" until you get it resolved.
    One thing that you did not mention is using AirPort Utility. You need to configure the Express using AirPort Utility for Windows. If you don't have that click here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1391
    Read about designing AirPort Networks here: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/designing_airport_networks_10.5-windows.pdf
    A new Express creates an unprotected wireless network named "Apple Network xxxxx". You need to disconnect from your existing network and connect to that network in order for AirPort Utility to communicate with the Express. Most likely you will have to temporarily disable any and all anti-virus / firewall / security software running on your Windows to do this. If you don't see that network you will not get anywhere.
    When you are finished configuring the Express in AirPort Utility, including addressing any unresolved conflicts it may report, click the button to restart it. AirPort Utility will say "the Express is now restarting" but the temporary network that it created for you to configure it will cease to exist, so just close the window. Reconnect to your usual wireless network which will now welcome the Express as a member.
    After it restarts the Express should show a happy green light.
    When you are finished re-enable all your Windows firewalls and AV software.
