My BT homehub is blocking the extension of my wireless network via the airport express, so I don't get a greenlight. The guy in the store said to put the wireless number direct into the browser and it would then give me directions as to how to unlock the BT network. But when I do that nothing happens, so I still have no idea how to unlock and extend the wireless network. Any ideas?

If you are trying to extend the wireless network provided by the BT Home Hub with the AirPort Express, this won't work as the two are not WDS compatible.

the green light in my airport express started blinking and doesnt stop and I cannot find it anymore

Unfortunately, green blinking is usually a symptom of an internal electrical problem on the AirPort Express.
Try a Factory Default Reset as a last resort:
Power down the Express
Wait ai few minutes
Hold in the reset button first, and keep holding it in for an additional 9-10 seconds while you simultaneously plug it back in to power
Release the reset button after the hold period and allow a full minute for the Express to restart.
You want to see a slow blinking amber light at this point, indicating that the Express has been reset to factory defaults. You can reconfigure it again now.
If you try the Factory Default Reset a few times and this does not help, I am afraid that the Express is defective and will need to be replaced.

I want to get a web cam for the mini so I can use face time. I asked at the Apple store and they said I could use any camera. When I look at the cameras on Amazon they seem to all be Windows based so I am confused. Any suggestions?

We've used the Logitech quickcam Vision Pro for Mac on our mini, with 10.6, and ichat, which has worked well. Looks like it's discontinued, however, a number of sellers on ebay are selling them new for $60-$70.

I can't get Firefox to bring up the browser. It continually tells me that the program is already running and to either close it or restart my computer. Not having anything to actually close, I restarted the computer five times. Now what?

Phillipp,
I tried it again using "save link as", and this time it actually worked! I just now downloaded several more using the "save link as" option, and it works perfectly. Thanks. Problem solved.

HT1725 I downloaded an album and all of the tracks will play about 3/4 of the song then stop and play the next song. I went to itunes store and it said the songs fully downloaded. So how do I get the full song into my library?

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

I have lost the amber/green light indicator on AirPort Express. How canI get it back?

How can i get the amber/green light indicator on the AirPort Express. It has stopped working.

If I do a factory reset, will I have to reset the network configuration?
Yes, but based on what you are telling us, I doubt that the device will restart after you try this. You have tested with other AC wall jacks, correct?
I just purchased the unit in April this year, it would be very soon to have to replace it, especially since I don't think I kept the receipt...
Most stores keep a record of purchases. Otherwise, Apple support can look at the serial number and know approximately when the device was sold. You should have no problem getting a replacement, I would imagine.

Can't get camera green light to turn off !

Hello,
I hope this is the right forum to post this question, if not sorry and please direct me if you can to the correct area.
I have an 08 Macbook. Never had a problem with it since it's barely a year old. One thing I have noticed is that my camera's green light is ALWAYS on. I never run any apps that would use the camera, I have gone back made sure they were all closed, made sure that nothing was to open automatically in startup that would cause it to turn on as well. Yet it continues to persist. The strange thing is that when I open Photobooth the screen is black! I have no idea why this is happening.
I did some quick googling and the only way I can get it to turn off is to start my computer by doing command option p r.
Does anyone know why this is happening and how I can make it stop once and for all? I don't want my camera being on all the time and it freaks me out that there are no apps using it!
Thanks

Hi EZ Jim,
I would consider iGlasses first.
Back ground app launched at Start Up but not listed in System Preferences > Accounts > Login items and available to all apps that can access the camera including a Web Browser.
Have not tried it Safari 4 and that Favourite pages bit that might hold Mebeam of Googlemail Chat page in the History.
The Screen Saver might be a bit of a stretch.
I am presuming that 1) he might have one and 2) it is not releasing the camera when not doing Screen Saving.
I am also presuming it might have a faulty idle time that makes the OS think the Screen Saver should be in view or possibly the time is set so short regular input is the only thing stopping the screen Saver from showing.
I am not sure many people would regard it as "an App" as such either, hence my phrasing.
The Nanny Cam stuff may be an app.
I have Evocam of the two we regularly mention and it can be hidden (Or set to Hide on using red Button).
That might need me to presume the computer is not shut down that often as it does not have an Option to add it to Login items on my Leopard Computer.
Whilst Hidden though, it can continue to stream.
This one was the furthest stretch.
So I thinks some are possibles.
Nanny cam is the most unlikely but depends on the app involved settings.
As part of the specs do suggest security then we have to consider some with access to the computer might look in the most obvious places first to see what was running, DOCK Login Items (I am not sure the Screen Saver I tried could push/stream/record or alert by email if movement was seen) but seeing Screen Saver set in System Preferences may not (should not) tell you that info.
(Says he dragging nanny cam stuff back into the picture )
Off to bed for me with so much Think Different stuff going on.
Catch you soon.

Can't get a green light

All I get on my Airport Express is a steady amber light (after it's taken a minute or two to start up). When I look for it with airport set up assistant utility the amber light flashes briefly, but that's all. Can't see it on the utility (though I can see my neighbor's....). Tried resetting it but that didn't seem to help. Thoughts??

I think this partially solved the problem. I was able to reset it and rename it. It shows up in my list of networks now. BUT... (1) the amber light remains on (blinking) an (2) what I want to be able to do is stream music via iTunes on one computer via the wireless network (using Time Capsule) and then listen to it on remote speakers using the AEX. I was able to do that before I converted to the Time Capsule as my wireless router. I'm thinking it might have some to do with how the AEX is configured, but not sure how to configure it to accomplish my goal.

My itunes are only playing on two of my three aiport express. Why? The green light is on Airport Express. The WiFi is connecte to my commuter. I am hearing music in the other rooms...

My itunes are only playing out of two of my three airport express. Why

Ok, it sounds like what your are trying to do, up-and-above your current configuration, is to both extend your Internet connectivity to additional wireless computers AND stream iTunes to a stereo...correct?
If so, your AirPort Express (AX) will need to operate as either a Remote or Relay Base Station in Apple's Wireless Distribution System (WDS) mode. (ref: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107454) In order for this to work, you would have to use either another AX or an AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS). However, there are some other 3rd-party routers (like Linksys) that may work as well. (ref: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=121820)
What is the make/model of your current wireless router...and does this connect directly to your ISP's DSL/Cable modem?

How can i get my movie to expand the browser window?

hi everyone,
thanks for checking out my post...
i want to create a fullscreen site like www.danwheldon.com or
www.highlandspring.com where the movie expands to the whole of the
browser window.
ive made my movie 1024x768 and just copied the html source
from the pages just to test it but my movie just appears as
1024x768 in the top left of the screen and doesnt reach to the far
corners.
when that didnt work i checked out loads of tutorials and
spent a whole day trying to figure out how to do it but to no
avail.
does anybody have a clue what im doing wrong?
thank you very much and i hope to hear from you.
all the best,
mark

Hi Mark,
First thing: in the HTML tab of the publish settings, set the
dimensions to percent and choose 100 for width and height.
Depending on your content, you might then need to play around
with the scaling of the objects on stage. There's some info in the
online help about this:

Can't get EPSON nx300 to work with airport express

hey yall
i'm running a 3 year old white 13" macbook with 10.5.7 osx installed -~- having trouble getting things to print via my new airport express. my boyfriend has no troubles with his brand new macbook pro - it just worked instantly for him.
my computer is able to recognize the printer in a 'Bonjour' location when i add the printer, but when i go to print, it just opens an empty print queuueueue and nothing happens.
i tried installing the latest EPSON drivers to no avail, so i deleted all of them, which also didn't help.
eep
kevin

Welcome to the discussions!
Don't have an exact answer because I can't replicate the problem, but will offer a guess for what it's worth.
You are running Leopard 10.5.7 on your computer and the MacBook Pro might be running 10.6.x Snow Leopard, which may have updated printer drivers for the USB port on the AirPort Express.
Try updating 10.5.7 first by clicking the Apple icon at the upper left of your screen and then clicking Software Update. This may allow you to move to 10.5.8, which did offer a number of printer updates.
Then work your way through the Apple Printer Troubleshooting Guide to see if that might help allow printing to occur.

Can't get Netgear wg602 v3 to join Airport Express network in client mode

Hello,
I have been happily using my Airport Express as a base station, but now I need to extend the range to a downstairs area, and I would like to do it with point-to-point bridging so that the AE is the base, and the bridge receives the wireless signal and shares it over ethernet to a switch downstairs.
I have (stupidly) purchased a Netgear wg602 v3 expecting that it would be able to be the client that could pick up and then share the AE's signal over ethernet, but I absolutely cannot get it to join the network and bridge the signal from the AE.
I have brand new firmware on both APs, and I have set them up so that they both have the same SSIDs and passwords, and the Netgear has the AE's MAC entered in it's point-to-point bridging section, and the AE has the Netgear's MAC in its WDS section.
Can anyone give me a hand getting this working?
Thank you very much,
Halle
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.7) Airport Express, Netgear wg602 v3

Hi iFelix,
Thanks for your reply.
Last night after quite a bit of effort I actually got it to work without security.
The settings are to create a uniquely-named point-to-point bridging network with the Netgear, referencing the AE's MAC, and tell the AE to use the Netgear's MAC at its uniquely-named network as a remote station via the WDS tab in Airport Admin utility. Auto-configure remote base station will fail, but the AE will be able to join the insecure Netgear box to its network and the Netgear will subsequently relay requests received over its ethernet port directly to the AE.
My question now is whether there is any way to do this with a modicum of security. I guess there's nothing to do but experiment.

Can't get TIme Capsule to recognize 2nd AirPort Express

I have a 3TB 802.11n Time Capsule and an existing Airport Express (AX) situated upstairs as an extension of my wireless network. I purchased a second AX for my basement to extend the network to that location. When I plug in the new AX AirPort Utility cannot seem to recognize the new unit at all. I am setting up in the same room as the Time Capsule. I have tried the unplug and plug back in method, reset button method, even plugged in an ethernet cord from the Time Capsule to the new unit, all to no avail. Could it be a flawed unit or is there some step I am not doing??

I figured it out. You have to know to see it under the wireless icon in the top left command line. Once you select it, then airport utility takes over. Interesting that the little setup booklet doesn't tell you that.

I can't get a green light on the airport express. I went to the store and he said my BT router is probably blocking the extension of the network. He said I could put the serial number of the router straight into the browser, then it would give me d
