After configuring my airport express, airport utility can no longer see it.

Configuring airport express seems to make it invisible to itunes and the airport utility that configured it. This seems to have started happening since Yosemite.

Sorry, can you explain what you mean by the AirPort Express is invisible to iTunes.
In any case, it sounds like something glitches when setting up the APE. Reset it using these instructions, then configure it again to see if that helps:

  • Airport Utility can no longer see my Airport Express Base Station.

    Hi all the problem I have is as follows;
    I've set up my Airport Express Base Station some time ago to print wirelessly from my HP Photosmart C4280 and it was working fine.
    However recently when I've gone to print a document, even though the printer is working fine and the Airport Express Base Station is showing a green light nothing happens. I've gone into the Airport Utility and its say's it can't see the Airport Express Base Station (even though it still has a green light showing). If I unplug the Airport Express and plug it in again, the Airport Utility can suddenly see it again.
    I've successfully gone through the reset process but after a few minutes the Airport Utility can no longer see the Airport Express Base Station which means I can't print a document wirelessly. I've repeated the reset process several times with the same outcome.
    Everything was working fine up until recently, has the Airport Express Base Station developed a fault? or is there something I'm not doing.
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    If you're comfortable resetting all settings, unplug it, hold down the reset button and keep holding it in as you plug it back in - keep holding it for another 10-20s until the amber light flashes
    Then, open airport utility, now you should be able to see the device either on-screen or in the upper left under 'other wi-fi devices'

  • After port forward, airport utility can no longer see my time capsule

    I tried to forward public port 1025 to private port 80 on a raspberry pi using  airport utility. But after I did that,  the airport utility can no longer see my time capsule. Wifi still works correctly. Are there any conflicts about port 1025? How to fix that other than resetting the time capsule?
    Thanks,
    Michael

    It doesn't sound like a port that is used.
    From the standard google search.. nope.
    Reboot the whole network..
    No luck tell me what OS version you are running the utility on and what model and firmware TC???
    Note with Yosemite, anything can and will happen.

  • After any settings update, Airport utility can no longer see airport

    I see many complaints on the internet, but no solutions.
    If I go into the airport extreme via the utility and make some changes that require the airport to reboot, it becomes invisible to the airport utility. Therefore, anytime I want to make changes, I have to make them all at once and redo everything if I ever need an additional change.
    I see that Apple support wants $29 for a call, however I have an extended warranty from the store I bought it from. It is probably a waste of time and money for all parties involved, but I could just bring it back every time I get a chance and get a new one until a new firmware update arrives.
    Does anyone know if there is a fix -- like reverting to older versions of the firmware or the utility?
    Details: Connection: wired ethernet. Utility version 5.4.2 Firmware 7.42
    Sometimes a soft reset works to restore visibility and my settings survive. Sometimes a hard reset is required. Other than that, it appears to work just fine. If I didn't need to regularly maintain port mappings I probably won't care -- but I do and this is the most expensive router I have purchased for home use by far. The problem is easily repeatable so this is definitely a bug.

    I have the same issue. I used to be able to get to my Airport Extreme by going to the File menu in Airport Utility and typing in its IP address and password but even that doesn't work anymore... What's going on Apple?
    I'm accessing my AE over ethernet due to wi-fi bugs in Snow Leopard.

  • After updating to 29.0.1, I can no longer see my bookmarks tool bar even thogh it is checked in view

    I can see where the bookmarks toolbar should go, as when I deselect, it goes away, but when selected, I cannot see the bookmarks that are listed in my bookmarks toolbar. I can see them when I choose show all bookmarks, just not as a one button item I had before in the bookmarks toolbar. Not happy. Is there a fix, or should I look to Chrome?

    Make sure that toolbars like the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible.
    *3-bar Firefox menu button > Customize > Show/Hide Toolbars
    *View > Toolbars (press F10 to show the Menu bar)
    *Right-click empty toolbar area
    Open the Customize window via the button in the 3-bar Firefox menu button drop-down list.
    *check that "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
    *if "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the Customize palette into the Customize window to the Bookmarks Toolbar
    *if missing items are in the Customize palette then drag them back from the Customize window on the toolbar
    *if you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the Customize palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar setup
    If you do not keep changes after a restart or otherwise have problems with preferences, see:

  • After publishing I can no longer see the poster frame on QuickTime

    I cant figure out why after publishing to the web (MobileMe), I can no longer see the poster frame on the QuickTime movie that I made. When I publishing to a folder on the mac to check my results I can see the poster frame, so it is only happening when i am publishing to the web. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening or have a solution?
    Thanks
    Chris

    You cannot delete this icon as its preinstalled on the iPhone. You may have inadvertently moved it to another page or into a folder. I would suggest you look on all the pages and in all folders or alternatively do a search on your iPhone. It will at least tell you if they are still there but unfortunately not where. You could also do a home screen layout reset settings>general>reset>reset home screen layout.

  • 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.

    Is there a way to configure win 8 Laptop to airport express?  I can see the connection to the wireless network, but troubleshooter suggests there's there is no gateway and of course no internet. The connection
    shows limited.  Any help you could provide would be most appreciated.  Further, should I simply buy another router for the windows machine?  If I did that, would it interfere with the airport?

    The internal HDDs must be formatted in either EXT3 or EXT4 file system because NSS uses Linux OS.  This is mainly because the RAM designed to fit with the customized Linux OS's size.
    You can connect to an external HDD via a  USB or eSATA port. The external HDD's file system can be NTFS, FAT32, AFT or EXT3/4 to be recognized for read/write. You can connect a 2TB USB/eSATA drive connec to the NSS via USB port to format your HDD for NTFS, AFT, FAT32, or EXT3/4 partition.
    You can join the NSS to a Windows domainr so all domain users to access NSS. You cannot replace the NSS for the Windows 2003 SP2 server. They are two different products and do different jobs. Windows server is features sets server while the NSS is the files/data server.
    Hope that helps!!

    Hi Murray,
    What version of Acrobat or Acrobat Reader are you using? Are you trying to open the PDF files from the Finder, or in Acrobat/Reader?
    We look forward to hearing back from you.

  • I have two Airport Express units. Can I use one to extend the range of the other?

    The similar questions that I have found on this site refer to extending an Airport Extreme with an Airport Express. But can you also extend an Airport Express with another Airport Express?

    But can you also extend an Airport Express with another Airport Express?
    Any Apple "n" router....AirPort Express, AirPort Extreme, or Time Capsule....can be used to extend the signal of another.
    Now, we just need to figure out if you have two "n" Expresses that will work together.  Are these brand new units?
    If not, check the model number on the side of the device. You need to see A1264 there. If you see A1084 or A1088, these models will not qualify as "n" Expresses.

  • How do I set up a static IP on Airport Express so I can activate the Connet my Mac App from outside my network?

    How do I set up a static IP on Airport Express so I can activate and use the Connect My Mac app from outside my home network?

    You will need to enable file sharing in System Preferences
    as well as setting up sharing and permissions for the
    directories that you want shared.  You may also want to
    setup a non-administrative user or allow limited guest
    access.  The user would require entering a user name and
    password to make the connection, but would allow remotes
    to change files, if set up tat way.
    As for serving iTunes media, better to post in the iTunes forum.

  • Why cant i print from my ipad using airport express but i can print from my mac using the express

    why cant i print from my ipad using airport express but i can print from my mac using the express

    Because your printer has to be Airprint compatible and connected to WiFi. There are applications, such as Printopia, that will allow you to print through your computer.

    No, and that shouldn't be done with an AirPort Extreme or Time Capsule.

  • I have the airport express as router can I buy the new airport express and use my old airport to extend my net?

    I have the airport express as router can I buy the new airport express and extend my net?

    Things can get confusing pretty quickly since there are 3 different versions of the AirPort Express.
    If by "old", you mean you have Model No A1084 or A1088 AirPort Express (look at the label on the side of the device for the Model No), it cannot be used with the "Extend a wireless network" feature of other newer Apple routers.
    If your AirPort Extreme is "square" shaped with rounded corners, then the "old" AirPort Express will not work with your AirPort Extreme using the "Extend a wireless network" settings.
    You could use a "previous version" AirPort Express, Model No A1264 to "Extend", or the "new" AirPort Express, Model No A1392, for that purpose.
    If your AirPort Extreme is a simultaneous dual band product, then the "new" Express would be able to "extend" both bands.  The "previous" AirPort Express (Model A1264) would be able to extend only one band, since it is not a dual band device.
