Air port express and ipad, iphone, apple tv

i have my audio speakers plgged into my 3 air port express for 3 rooms in my house. when i use my old apple tv, i can play my music on all 3. however, on my ipad, itouch and mac computers, i can only do one at a time. Why?

The iPod Touch does not have the "Multiple" speakers function.
You only get one choice.
I have 3 Airport Express units and this is just the way Apple has it setup for the iPod Touch.
You should be able to choose all 3 on your Mac.
Look at the bottom right of your iTunes window and you should be able to choose multiple speakers.

  • Air Port Express and Comcast

    I have been trying with no success to get a connection with my Air Port Express and my comcast DSL internet. I am able to connect with a direct ethernet connection however, I don't want to be using my computer in my bed room all the time and would like the freedom. Does anyone know how to help me out. I spoke with Comcast they won't help as it is not their product...please anyone...

    Unplug the modem from the power. Reset the AX to its factory defaults and reconfigure the base station using the AirPort Admin Utility. Your connection is via Ethernet and DHCP (your Comcast service is cable, not dsl, is it not?). If it is dsl, the connection method should be PPPoE. Tell the base station to distribute IP addresses using DHCP. Make sure your computer System Preferences>Network has PPPoE DISABLED. Plug the modem into the ethernet port of the AX. Now power up the modem. Can you connect?

  • Air port express and Xbox 360

    I use the Airport Express as my wireless router. When I first bought it I just used it for Air Tunes to my outside speakers, no problem. Then I was able to get cable internet and used it to connect to my iMac, no problem. Then my wife bought a laptop, connected to the ApE, no problem. Bought a Vizio Bluray, connected to the ApE, no problem. THEN I got an Xbox 360, the newest one out with the built in wifi, big problem. Nothing I can do will connect it to the ApE. I have tried manually setting the IP, subnetmask, SSID with password and nothing. Any thoughts on this??? Yes, I'm trying to play email wars with Microsoft support, but no help yet.

    One option would be to enable Internet Sharing on the iMac to share the Internet connection to the XBox's Ethernet port.
    To setup for Internet Sharing (Wireless to Wired):
    Enable Software Firewall
    System Preferences > Sharing > Firewall
    o Click Stop to start the software firewall
    Setup the Network
    Cable Modem > (Ethernet cable) > /[Ethernet port] Wireless Internet Router > (wireless) > /[AirPort Card] iMac /[Ethernet port] > (Ethernet cable) > /[Ethernet port] XBox 360
    Setup Port Order
    System Preferences > Network > Show > Network Port Configurations
    o Verify that "AirPort" and "Built-In Ethernet" are enabled.
    o Verify that "AirPort" is at the top of the list, followed by "Built-In Ethernet."
    o Click "Apply Now."
    Configure the Internet Connection
    System Preferences > Network > Show > AirPort > TCP/IP
    o Configure IPv4: Using DHCP
    o Configure IPv6: Automatically or Off
    Enable Internet Sharing
    System Preferences > Sharing > Internet
    o Share your connection from: AirPort
    o To computers using: Built-In Ethernet (checked) (Note: Uncheck all other entries in the list.)
    o Click Start

  • Air Port Express Joining a non-Apple Wireless N Network

    So, I've been using my AEn router for some time now to join my wireless G network for iTunes and to use the ethernet port.
    Decided to buy a Linksys Wireless N Dual Band router to replace my older wireless G router.
    Much to my surprise and disappointment, AEn can only join an existing B/G wireless network.
    Anyone heard if Apple is going to open this up to allow joining a wireless N network with a firmware update?

    My Express will only 'join' my Netgear WNDR3700's 2.4ghz 'N' band. Within seconds after joining the 5ghz band it loses link. See if your Netgear's log shows "WLAN access rejected: incorrect security", as mine does. Mind you, I've matched the security settings on the AE with the Netgear a number of times. My MB Pro is at a farther distance than the AE yet has a full signal to the 5ghz band. FYI there are no cordless phones in my house and there are no other known 5ghz networks close to my house.

    Hi Boys,
    I have the same setup with my new Netgear WNDR3700 (replaces my good old WRT45G) with the AEn as client. the netgear gives me 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz 802.11n networks. i can connect the AE to both and brigde the LAN port and listen musik over analog audio connection. The only thing what drives me crazy is i need optical out, and this only work well when the AE is connected to the bgn 2.4GHz WLAN. it stops working and doing reboots if i start to play musik from itunes.
    with the bgn connection it shows me a rate of 54, so no 802.11n speeds (distance AP-AE 5m sight)
    maybe we have to wait for final 802.11n firmwares?
    is their anybody who has the same issue with other nAPs and the AE?
    best regards

  • I have a first generation air port express and i get a error

    I found a old air express first generation in my garage. I try to connnect it but i keep getting this message "This version of AirPort Utility doesn’t support this base station. Go to AirPort Service and Support for more information. i am running the most current up date  for airport utility 6.2

    Check the model number on the side of the AirPort Express. A 1st Generation model is A1264.
    If you see A1084 or A1088 there, these are much older versions of the AirPort Express which AirPort Utility 6.2 will not support.
    If you want to try to configure the AirPort Express, you will need to use some rather complicated workarounds....not supported by Apple.....to install an older version of AirPort Utility on your Mac. Post back if you want to pursue this.

  • Air Port Express Power

    You should bring it into an Apple store to be looked at.

  • Air port express wont connect to internet

    I am trying to use air port express and everything is hooked up correctly, it shows internet is there connected etc. but when i try to click on safari it doesn't connect to the internet. I am connected directly to the internet provider kind of like direct hook up to the modem. my network setup is a bit different. but what it comes down to is the airport is wireless and it doesn't connect to the internet. anyone able to help me get the airport working ?

    In order to get help you're going to have to describe your setup and your problem a bit better.
    First, how is your network configured? how are all the devices connected (hardwire or wireless) and what models of devices are you using?
    A typical setup has a cable or dsl modem that receives a signal from your internet provider. This device is then either directly connected ot a computer, if it's the only device requireing internet access, or it's connected to a router via an ethernet cable.  Depending on the type of router, the internet access is then shared via ethernet (hardwire) or wirelessly to other devices throughout the home.
    How is your's set up?

  • I have a time capsule and two air port expresses. The time capsule is in the middle of my house, the expresses equidistant in opposite directions. I would like the expresses to both connect directly to the capsule, but they are connected in serial. How?

    I have a time capsule and two air port expresses. The time capsule is in the middle of my house, the expresses equidistant in opposite directions. I would like the expresses to both connect directly to the capsule, but they are connected in serial. How to reconfigure.
    I ask because I have music running out of both expresses, and the one that is most distant from the time capsule (routed through the first express) regularly drops the music signal from itunes. And I am guessing the serial configuration of the routers has something to do with this, but my root problem is music dropout - any thoughts would be appreciated.

    If you have the the most current model of the Express devices, the default setup is to "extend" the wireless signal.  In this type of setup, each Express communicates directly to the Time Capsule.
    How did you setup the AirPort Express devices?
    What version of the Mac operating system are you using on your MacBook?   Or, do you have AirPort Utility installed on your iPad?

  • HT4259 We decided to set the Air Port Express in a room using only the power outlet and relying on the existing wifi signal...we have a verizon modem and didn't want to mess with connecting the Air port express directly to the verizon device.  It didn't w

    I bought a Air Port Express device from Apple yesterday.  We decided to set the Air port device in a room near the router to use as a wifi extender to areas of the house where the signal is weak.  In our discussion with Josh, the Apple Rep.  he explained how it can either be connector to the router or use in another room relying on the existing wifi signal to extend it further into the house.  We have verizon DSL.  Our town is very small...no cable provided so we are lucky to have what we have...some areas of our town can't even get what we have.  We, didn't want to connect it directly to the Verizon device (router)....we followed the directions from Josh as well as the explicit directions provided by Apple support...it didn't work. We keep getting an error message.  Does anyone have any advice ?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Please speak in "Laymen's terms"  I am not technically savy....but..am determined to get this set up.  Thanks to anyone, in advance!

    In our discussion with Josh, the Apple Rep.  he explained how it can either be connector to the router or use in another room relying on the existing wifi signal to extend it further into the house.
    Unfortunately, it appears that Josh was not aware that the AirPort Express can only "extend" a wireless signal from another Apple router.
    From Apple's literature:
    Extend an existing Wi-Fi network’s range.
    If you already have a wireless network in your home and want to extend its range, AirPort Express can help. Just place it in range of your primary base station — an AirPort Extreme, Time Capsule, or another AirPort Express — and near the area where you want your wireless connection. Launch the easy-to-use AirPort Utility app on your iOS device or Mac, and you’re mere minutes away from long-range Wi-Fi enjoyment.
    The AirPort Express is not compatible with a Verizon product for this purpose.
    Your might want to have another conversation with Josh to ask his advice on how best to proceed at this point.
    If you do decide to keep the AirPort Express, it will be necessary to connect it to your Verizon router using a wired Ethernet cable connection if you want the Express to provide more wireless signal coverage.

  • Share snapshots here, Air Port Extreme and 2 Air Port Express are working

    is there a way to attach snapshots here
    after 1 week I fig out how to get it to work in windows XP using my FIOS router and my Air Port Extreme, but before anything make sure you have the MAC address of all the Apple devices
    As I config my devices(Air Port Extreme and 2 Air Port Express) I took snapshots since I did not want to go through this again

    Unfortunately, if the light is out, the outboard power supply has failed, or the internal power supply has failed.
    If you have a voltage tester, check the outboard power supply for 12 volts. If it delivers 12 volts, then the internal power supply on the AirPort Extreme has failed, and you will need to replace the AirPort Extreme.
    If the outboard power supply does not work, you might be able to replace that outboard power supply to get things working again.
    Take the AirPort Extreme to an Apple Store....if you have one near you.....to let them take a look.

  • HT4145 is it possible to use a sngle air port express both for streaming music to an audio system AND as a wireless base station

    is it possible to use a single air port express both for streaming music to an audio system AND as a wireless base station

    Yes you can - if it is your only router or it is after another Apple router - if you have a non-Apple router then it would have to be hard wired to create its' own wireless network.

    How to connect my iPhone and iPad to Apple TV

    Connect the iPad and Apple TV to the same WiFi network. Double Tab the home button on the iPad and then swipe your recently used apps from left to right until you see the mirroring icon which looks like a retangle with an up arrow. Tab that icon until you see the Apple TV. Tab Apple TV and slide the slider to the ON position. You should now see your iPad screen on the TV the Apple TV is connected to.

  • I have Verizon FIOS and I am trying to connect an Air Port Express to my Directv

    I have Verizon FIOS and I am trying to connect my Air Port Express to my DirecTV.  My iMac does not see the airport express, even though the light is a solid green and connected to my HD-DVR.  Any ideas?

    Assuming your modem is wireless use Airport Utility to configure the AEX to extend an existing network. The modem's wireless router should be configured to allow its network to be extended.

  • New Air Port Extreme and old Air Port Express?

    Just got my Air Port Extreme up an running. Is there any reason why my 4 year old Air Port Express would not work with the new Extreme?
    The extreme saw briefly yesterday but today the computer doesn't see the express and the extreme only flashes with the orange light showing it has no signal.
    Only thing that did change was I did the firmware update on the extreme.
    Message was edited by: jcox

    Welcome to the discussions!
    Connect an ethernet cable from your computer directly to one of the LAN <-> ports on the Extreme. Open AirPort Utility - Manual Setup so the summary page is displayed.
    Click on the amber dot and a message will appear with the reason for the flashing amber light on the Extreme. What is the message?
    Regarding the Express, how do you plan to use it in your network?
