Aiport Express/Extreme

The menu AA Express comes up on iTunes but I then get an error stating there are no speakers connected. I know this is not true. How do I resolve this issue?

UPDATE - Reset the Wii, it sees my apple network (yeah), but during the connection test, it fails. Help!!

How to connect old aiport express to my new Airport Extreme? My Ipad says "base station e5713b cannot be configured" and my AirPort tool on my PC will not permit me to add my new Airport Extreme network (no network names to choose from)

How to connect old aiport express to my new Airport Extreme?
I have a PC running with Win7 and just replaced my Jensen With a brand New Airport Extreme.
I have set up the Airport Extreme to the internet, Iphones and Ipads and it work as it should.
I have downloaded latest Version of Airport tool on my PC. In addition i have downloaded the airport tool for Ipad.
I have reset one of my airport Express and it now shows up both on the Ipad and on the PC airport tool.
My Ipad says "base station e5713b cannot be configured."
I have wired the airport Express to my Ethernet to be able to "see it" on my Airport tool.
My AirPort tool on the PC will not permit me to add the airport Express to my new Airport Extreme network (no network names on the drop-down list to choose from). I wished for an easy set-up, but nothing seems to be plug and play as the Commercial says.. can you please help me?

Hi
Thanks for Swift reply.
Yep - I in fact have two A1088 and one A1264
I actually bought the new router because the Jensen
router always lost connection to the Airport Express after some hours or days. I
always needed to restart my Jensen to play music and that was driving my wife
mad. The hope was that the Extreme should fix this. Both A1088 have been set up
to only stream music to two of my stereo amplifiers from my PC’s Itunes library.
Are the A1088 now useless?
The A1264 has been set up to feed internet into a Denon Reciever that needed Ethernet cable.
Please advise
Regards
Sigve

Using Aiport Express and internet at the same time?

I was just wondering if anyone could offer any advice on this subject please?
I've got a Macbook running through a wireless BT ADSL modem. I have also managed to connect the Macbook to my Aiport Express to allow me to wirelessly pipe iTunes through my stereo. I am aware that you cannot run both at once (i.e pipe music and browse the web) due to the Macbook being able to be only connected to one wireless network at a time.
My questions is whether there is anyway round this? If I bought an Aiport Extreme base station, connected that to my wireless router and used the Airport Extreme base station for the wireless connection would I be able to add the Aiport Express to that wireless network and subsequently have the internet and the Aiport Express running on the same wireless network - hence being able to pipe the music wirelessly and also browse the web at the same time?
Or is there another way round it?
Any info anyone could offer would be a great help
Thanks in advance
James

Ahh am I right in thinking this is the way to do it?

Express/Extreme Can Join Network but Cannot Extend

I have both an Airport Extreme and an Aiport Express. Recently we have upgraded to UVerse and acquired a new modem/wireless router. I like the interface for this new router and would like to use it. In turn, I would like to use both my Extreme/Express to extend my current wireless network. In the past, I just ran my modem to the Extreme and then extended, upstairs, using my Express.
Both have no issues joining the current wireless network, but when attempt to extend the wireless network, they both just drop to blinking yellow lights and do nothing else. Sometimes I connect via an ip address and see that the issues with extending comes from the fact that it cannot see the wireless network, which makes no sense to me since I have already joined the wireless network multiple times.
From here I simply have to factory reset each and start over, trying new settings. My frustration has come to a head as I can find plenty of threads that have issues with extending networks from an Express, but nothing like mine.
My new UVerse modem is a 3801HGV from Pace?
My security is WPA2 TKIP/AES.
I have no interest is hooking my Extreme up to the UVerse router via ethernet, I would much rather have it upstairs with the Express, extending, so I can have some true full home coverage with my network.
Thanks for reading

You might consider connecting one AirPort to the Uverse router using a short Ethernet cable and setting that AirPort up to "create a wireless network".
Then, the next AirPort can extend that network.
Apple's routers.....and many others for that matter....will run circles around the wireless on a Uverse router, so if performance is important to you, you might consider turning off the wireless on the Uverse router and using other products to provide the wireless service.
If you want to "extend" the Uverse signal with another product......a Netgear "universal" extender might do the job.....(although the models that I have tried are not "universal" enough to extend an Apple network).
Might be a good idea to understand the store's return policy before you buy any product, as compatibility between different brands is always a huge question that often can't be answered until you try it our for yourself.
Good luck.

Aiport Express - Ethernet - Direct TV

I have an Aiport Express linked to an Aiport Extreme. Everything is working. I have Direct TV which allows Video on Demand if connected to an internet source. For some reason the Direct TV is not recognizing that the Ethernet port is there. I have read different things on the Express ethernet port . . . is it a LAN port? or NOt? Why doesn't it work???

Hello Cktreth. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
In order for the AirPort Express Base Station's (AX) Ethernet to "act" like a LAN port, the AX needs to be configured as either a relay/remote base station in a Wireless Distribution System (WDS) with your AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS).

HT1199 My mac has OSX version 10.8.2 and I'm try to install an aiport express base station which requires 10.5.7 or later. Yet when I try to install the software it says the base station is not compatible with my mac version - how do I resolve?

You already have the software installed that you need if you have 10.8.2.
If AirPort Utility cannot find the Express, that is another matter. More software is not needed. More troublehooting is needed.
Power up the Express for a full minute
Hold in the reset button on the Express for 7-8 seconds and release
Allow a full minute for the Express to restart
Click the AirPort icon at the top of the Mac's screen
Look for a heading of New AirPort Base Station
Just below that, click on AirPort Express
What happens?

My wi-fi worked fine on Airport Express two days ago. Now the light is green, but I can't get the Internet on my satellite connection. I've checked Network Preferences, Aiport Express menu, and the satellite tech support. The Ethernet connection works.

My wi-fi connection from my iPad via the Airport Express Base Station on my home computer worked just fine until yesterday morning. I have a Macintosh G5 with a satellite connection. I could not get an Internet connection. After using the Network Preferences and Aiport Express applications several times, then unplugging and replugging in the computer, satellite modem and Airport Express module, checking the satellite dish for any obstructions, and so on, the computer still wouldn't connect to the Internet. (The green light was on in the Airport Express module.) I called the satellite company technical support division last night. The tech couldn't find any problem with the satellite connection. When I plugged the satellite modem cord directly into the Ethernet outlet on my computer, I could pick up the Internet.
Today, the Airport Express module still has a green light but still doesn't connect to the Internet. The only thing I can think of is that lights went out for about 15 minutes yesterday morning. All of my electronics, except the Aiport Express Base Station, are on surge protectors. Why would the Airport Express module still have a green light if it was damaged by the electrical outage?
I bought the module in 2009. I have never had problems with Apple equipment before this. Is this base station fixable?
I would appreciate your suggestions.

Hello everyone. I too have experienced the same problem Mary described starting on the same day she mentioned January 12. I have a G5 iMac, a G5 mini-mac, and a G4 laptop. They were all working fine but all have mostly the same problem now in that the G4 does not connect at all and the G5s connect once in a while after restarts but do not maintain the connection. In my case there was no power interruption. In fact, the G4 laptop was not even connected to the home power connection. My iPad2 and iPhone 4s wireless work fine and a wireless PC and Android tablet work fine as well. The G5 and G4 work fine on an ethernet connection. ISP tech support (AT&T u-Verse) was very generous with their time in trying to solve my problem although it was established early on that their connection and equipment was working fine and that the problem was with my computers. They walked me through a manual reset of all the particulars on IP addresses etc. so the problem was not related to that either. In the end ISP tech support concluded that the problem must lie with the Airport driver. For some reason it changes the IP addresses to an incorrect address so it cannot connect. Indeed when I tried the diagnostics on the G4 I got a window Pop-up that said an application had reset my settings. (In retrospect I seem to recall that I may have gotten that same message early on with the G5s but at that time I did not think much about it and went about trying to reset the settings but that process never concluded well) I think that the problem may be that there must have been an update of the Airport software that was not backward compatible with the G5 and older Macs. I mention all this for two reasons. First, perhaps someone out there who knows better than I do how to bring this to Apple's attention and perhaps they will address this. Second, I would be curious to know whether there is anyway one can return a configuration on Macs to some earlier time period (as you can on PCs) when everything worked and then leave it that way foregoing any subseqent upgrades or any subsequent apps?

I have a perfectly good wi-fi setup but it will not detect my Aiport Express no matter what aI try. Help!

Aiport express to stereo wirelessly - possible?

Hi,
can airport express stream music to my wireless stereo (sony BDV E670) wirelessly, with no stereo cable?
all the configurations I see use a cable from the aiport express to the stereo.
Thanks

Sorry, but no. You must connect an analog or optical digital cable to be able to send an audio signal from the Express.

Get 9672 error when adding an Epson 7800 connected to an aiport express

I get a 9672 error when I try to add our epson 7800. It is a rendevous printer connected to an airport express. The aiport express is an extension of our aiport network base which is an airport extream. I am trying to add it to a G5 with osx 10.3.9.
I can add it to our mac minis that run 10.4 with no problem.
I tried deleting the driver and reinstalling the latest driver from epson and deleting the printer preferences.
It shows up as a rendevous printer but when I try and add it I get a 9672 error.

The problem seemed to be that we were printing to two epson Printers, a cx5400 and a 7800.
I repaired permissions.
Then I deleted the epson print drivers by putting the epson folder which is in the Library folder in the trash. Next I deleted the printer preferences by putting all the apple.print files in the users, home folder, library, preferenced folder in the trash and rebooted.
I had to reinstall the printer driver for the 5400 first, It requires a reboot, then reinstall the 7800 print driver. Then I connected the 7800 from my g5 via usb, added the printer and printed. Next I put the put the 7800 on the Airport Express, added the printer and printed. I then printed to the 5400 and deleted the printer I defined to print via usb from the G5.
Now it works. I tried to install the drivers and add the printers in many different orders and it seemed to be very important that the order above be followed. If I didn't I would get the 9672 error when I tried to add the 7800 or a communications error when I tried to print to the 7800.
Support at epson let me know how to deleted the printer driver.

What is the transfer rate of an airport express extreme router?

I am buying a router and I could not locate (in the package) the transfer speed rate of an airport express extreme router. Does anyone know how they compare to other commercial routers, from say Cisco?

Yes it is interesting to look at the speed of technological advance. I first started using an Apple about 30 years ago when they had floppy discs rather than hard drives. Mine had two floppy disc drives so I could work all day without swopping discs (single disc drives needed you to swop the data disc and the programme disc every so often as the Ram on the machine was limited. Since then I have up-graded every 4 to 5 years (approximately every other operating system upgrade)
Before that, in the 1970's we were changing from slide rules to electronic calculators which got steadily better and cheaper. The early Anita Calculator (with valves) cost as much as a small car - now they give simple calculators away with Christmas Cards.
I wonder how much further the technology behind the home computer will go before further advances, like those in calculators, become pointless from the user's point of view. Maybe it will take another 10 years or so but once everything we want to do is incorporated into a voice driven computing device possibly storing data in the cloud, then it will be the reliability of the components that will be the benchmark of a good system and having the latest "fastest" model will be far less important.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Your iMac comes with AirPort Utility (in /Applications/Utilities). You can open it from the Launchpad by going to the "Utilities" or "Other" folder

Can I connect my ipad2 with my aiport express without a pc?

Can I connect my ipad2 with my aiport express without a pc?

Yes. However, you would need a PC or Mac to administer the AirPort base station.

ITunes cannot find Aiport Express via D-link

iTunes cannot find Aiport Express.
iMac and Airport Express both connected to D-link wireless router (DI-524UP). Can see Airport Express on iMac Airport Utilities, and can communicate (do changes) via the D-link network. iMac working fine with D-link for internett access also.Have set up Aiport Express to serve as extra speakers in iTunes. Airport Express connected to stereo with cable. Can choose the external speakers in iTunes. Think this means iTunes also must be communicating with Airport Express, because If I change the name of the externals speakers in Airport Express, it also changes in iTunes after clicking "update" and the Airport Express re-starts. However after choosing the external speakers in iTunes and starting a song iTunes is seeking the speakers (Airport Express) without finding it. All devices are connected to the same D-link network.
Working fine when I set up Airport Express with its own network and connecting it with iMac. Also I could connect my iPhone to my iTunes library (remote app.) This is not working in the d-Link network either.
It's a drag to have to change both the PC and the iPhone to another network every time I want to play musik on the stereo. This is why I am trying to get everything to work together in the same network (D-Link).
Somebody having met this problem before?

Correction: Downloaded an update for the D-Link, and now the iPhone is working with iMac for remote control of iTunes.
Still iTunes cannot find Airport Express when choosing external speekers
