Why my older Airport Express does not work with OS-X 10.9?

After getting my new iMac and upgrading to Marveric, I can not get my older AirPort Express work. Why?

Mavericks does not support the older "b/g" wireless versions of the AirPorts, only the newer "n" wireless versions.
You can use another Mac running Leopard or Snow Leopard, or a PC to administer the older AirPort Express.

Hi, The Airport Express does not work with iOS 7.0.4, I appreciate your help to resolve this event. Thank you,

Please locate the model number of the AirPort Express and post back that information.
The model number is located on the side of the AirPort Express. It begins with an "A" followed by four numbers.
We are not sure what you mean by "does not work". Does this mean that the AirPort Express worked at one time and has just recently stopped working?
Have you installed a newer operating system on your iOS device recently?
Or, is this a new AirPort Express that you are trying to configure for the first time?
If yes, what service will the AirPort Express perform on your network?
Please remember that we cannot see your network, so we only know as much about your problem as you can tell us.

Need Help...my wireless airport express will not work with my update of snow leopard

after installing snow leopard on my macbook pro my airport express will not work...or will connect only for a minute at a time.

If you mean by "airport express" the square airport router you plug in and has a usb port then run the Airport Utility located in your Utilities folder to set it up again. If AU doesn't see it you may need to do a re-set of the AE.

Help Needed: Airport Express does not work

My Airport Express was ok until one day I setup it under bridge mode in a hotel room. Now neither my iMac and Dell laptop can update the settings in the Airport Express. It always shows error in reading the settings.
I have tried soft, hard reset and also tried to bring it back to factory settings. However, all these trials were not successful. It did not even blink with green light when I tried to reset it to factory settings (hold the reset pin, plug in power socket and then release the pin... I believe I did it right).
Also the network name I created in this Airport Express did not change to default name. The Airport Express name was restored to default though.
Does anyone know how to fix this? Do I have to send the hardware to Apple to fix it or it is just a software failure that I can fix at home with you guys help?
Thanks!

Same problem here -- followed instructions to do factory reset to a "T", never saw blinking green LED. Instead led blinks yellow. Always get an error in Airport Utility.
Apple had best quit poking fun at how lousy Microsoft stuff is before someone sees the large number of product complaints logged in the forums. It isn't smart to toss stones in a glass house.

I got a new imac and the airport utility does not work with my older airport express. What can I do???

How can I get my new iMac to see my old Airport Express so I can play my music to a remote speaker?

Move the Mountain Lion version of Airport Utility to the Trash. Airport Utility is located in the Utilities folder.
Kappy, you cannot move AirPort Utility in Mountain Lion to the trash in a normal way. Apple will not let you do this.....It is part of the Mountain Lion operating system....and cannot be modified or trashed.

Printing via Airport Express does not Work

I have been using an Airport Express Basestation with my Mac Mini and Epson Stylus 880 for about a year without a problem. Now I have moved to an Intel iMac and cannot print via Airport anymore. The file get´s spooled but then I get an error message saying that the printer driver might be incompatible. If I use the same driver with the local USB port everythings works fine.
Please help,

Airport Express A1088 Not Working With iTunes 10 AirPlay but works with iPad & iPhone

Hi,
I'm really hoping someone can help me. I have just got an ADSL connection at home and have started using my Airport Express I've had for years but haven't used, model number A1088. I can use the Airport Express to use AirPlay from my iPhone, iPod and iPad. iTunes 10 on my 2010 13" MacBook Pro recognises the Airport Express as an AirPlay device, however when I attempt to play music through remote speakers using the Airport Express as the AirPlay device I receive the error message "An error occurred while connecting to AirPlay device "emptyk86 Airport Express". The network connection failed". I have performed numerous hard resets and resets within the Airport Utility, to no avail. I could accept that as the Aiport Express is quite old now, that it could be broken, but as it works for all iPhones, iPods, and iPads I don't understand what I'm doing wrong!
Thanks for your time.

The same thing started happening to me this morning. I have an old Airport Express, New MacBook Pro, recently updated to Lion, have the latest version of iTunes. Everything worked fine until this morning. I was playing music, stopped it, and when I tried to resume, got the error message. I turned evertying off and on and reset everything. The problem persisted. However, I had no problem playng music from my iPad library through the system using the iPad.
I have a remote app on the iPad and, oddly enough, found that I could play anything (playlists, songs, etc.) from the MacBook Pro iTunes library through the system using the iPad remorte app. Once I had that running, I went back to the MacBook Pro and found I had full functionality with iTunes on the MacBook Pro. I closed and reopened iTunes a couple of times on the MacBook Pro to test it, and found that sometimes it would work fine and sometimes I would get the error message. When I got the error message, I went through the procedure with the iPad to get it going, and that worked most of the time. When it did not work the first time, I found that playing a song from the iPad library first and then going to the remote app seemed to help.
For sure, this is more a workaround than a solution, but maybe someone who understands how these things work might recognize the problem and propose a solution.

Airport express G not working with new linksys N router

I just swapped a new linksys N router into my old G network and my old airport express is flashing amber and refusing to acknowledge the network. It does not seem to be picking up. What does this mean and how do i fix it? thank you in advance

someone posted this anyone , not sure i actually understand all of it
hours of digging through blogs and Apple help docs, with some luck and trial & error, have gotten it to work. This experience seals the deal...if a Mac can ever run Excel, I'm abandoning my PC.
For the benefit of anyone else in my situation, here's what I did:
You have to override Airport Express's default desire to make itself the hub of a new network, and force it to be added as a client to your own network.
First, plug the Airport Express into the wall, then reset it by holding down the reset button with a paper clip for about ten seconds. Plug in an ethernet cord that's attached to your wireless router.
Open the Airport utility which you should've installed from the cd in the package. It should now recognize your Airport Express and the light will turn green. Be patient...mine took awhile, and even started flashing amber before it worked.
You will need to manually configure the AE from the utility by typing in the name of your wireless network, setting AE to "join an existing network" instead of its default "create new network," and enable Airtunes.
You may need to add the "Airport ID" printed on the case of the unit to your router's MAC list. This allows the router to recognize the device. Type your router's IP address into the address bar of internet explorer to access the router settings.
If you don't see your speakers listed in a box at the bottom of iTunes, you will need to go to the settings window (in iTunes) and click "search for remote speakers connected to Airtunes."
gonna try it out, cause nothing else has worked

Airport Express/AirTunes Not Working with New Verizon FIOS Connection

I was just set up with the new Verizon FIOS high speed internet, and now my Airport Express/AirTunes will not connect to my remote speakers like it did previously. The option for them is still there on iTunes, however when I select them, I get the horizontal barber pole for a minute, then the speaker selction goes back to computer.
In more detail:
Previously I had a Comcast internet connection which went through a Linksys wireless router. My Mini picked up the internet with this connection. Then I had an Airport Express hooked up to some remote speakers. They worked fine. Now, I have the Verizon wireless router hooked in directly to my Mini through the ethernet cable. I see the wireless network created by the Verizon router. I still see the wireless network created by the Linksys router. However, my iTunes can not connect to my AE/AirTunes speakers.
Note, I did reset the AE and then using Airport Setup Assistant, tried to locate it again, but it came up with nothing (other than my neighbor's new Verizon router).
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Still no luck. The green light is on for the AE.
Thanks in advance for the help.

Airport card does not work with Airport Extreme when security is turned on

I have an iMac running OSX 10.4.11 with an Airport card installed (firmware version 9.52).
I recently replaced my Netgear wireless router with an Apple Extreme Base station and now I am not able to connect my iMac to the wireless network when WEP security is turned on - I get an error from the Airport Setup Assistant when I attempt to connect to the wireless network.
It works fine if the wireless security on the Extreme Base station is turned off.
Please help and thanks in advance.

First, I highly recommend that you switch to either WPA or WPA2 as WEP is no longer considered secure. If you must use WEP, I suggest that you try the following:
o Re-create the Network Name (SSID) on your AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS)
o Try using 128-bit WEP, with a 26-Hex character key for the encryption type.

I want to install an old airport express, the ones which are directly plugged into the socket - but it does not work with Maverick or Snow Leopard - can I configure it with a windows pc?

The Mac running Snow Leopard should be able to configure virtually any version of the AirPort Express.
Tell us what steps that you are taking to configure the Express and what happens after each step.

My new airport express does not connect my printer to my computer? My old airport did! then I updated to OS 10.9.2. How do I get it connected?

My new airport express does not connect my printer to my computer. The old airport did. I recently updated to OS 10.9.2. I have since bought a new
HP 6700 all in one wireless printer, got the latest Comcast router. None of which connect to my computer wirelessly. Which do I throw away the printer, router, or Mac? Help

Contact HP for support.
Explain that you are using a Mac, anticipate the inevitable groan, and wait patiently for their resident Mac expert to return from vacation.
Until then download and install its driver here: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?product=5058338&cc=us&dlc=en &lc=en
Otherwise return the printer and purchase one from a company that visibly supports OS X. HP isn't on that list.

Facetime only works via WiFi. Are you trying to set up Facetime with a T-Mobile account?

That would be it. Sometimes you can tweak the album & artist names enough for iTunes to download matching art from the store, or you could add a bonus track featuring 1 second of silence and attach artwork to that, or you could convert the files to Apple Lossless.
