Airport Express After update won't work

After updating my desktop Mac to Leopard and updating my AirPort Express to firmware to v6.3, the Express refused to restart. I've tried resetting it and have left it unplugged for a few days. The latest Airport utility can't find it, and it just flashes yellow. I've been using this hub for the last two years without a problem. Fortunately it does not supply my wireless network with the Internet. I am using this hub for AirTunes. What can I do?

just do a hard reset (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=108044 ) of the airport express and the airport administration utility will recognize it again. However, you will lose the configuration of the airport express. I hope that helps.

  • Unable to open configuration for Airport Express after update 5.3.1

    I can still reconfigure my Airport Express unit using the old version of the Airport Admin Utility.app version 4.2 under OS 10.4.11 that remained after the update. But the new AirPort Base Station 2008-001 update version 5.3.1 for Tiger will not allow me to access the configuration. It comes back with an error even though the Airport Express unit is recognized by the new software. The message reads: "An error occurred while reading the configuration".
    Why won't the new version work? I tried rebooting the Airport Express unit and even unplugged it for 60 seconds. This did not help.
    About 6 months ago, I had to revert to an older version of the firmware to stabilize the system to version 6.1.1.
    Airport has really been touchy. And each update of the OS does not seem to help.

    Hi,
    My old Saucer Expresses work with Firmware 5.6, though it wants to update them to 5.7.
    Does it ask for the Password/Keychain usage? If not, might trash that Keychain... or Factory reset it too.
    Might just try the latest...

  • Can't connect to Airport Express after updating software

    I ran Software Update today on my Intel Mini which updated iTunes to 7.3 and apparently included a security patch that I did not take note of. Since then I cannot connect to my Airport Express which is hooked up to my stereo system. The AE works fine when I connect to it from a PC in my home. Any ideas? Thanks!

    Thank you for the suggestion Juan. I did a hard reset and reconfigured the AX. I was able to stream music to it from iTunes, but a few minutes later I noticed that my internet connection was stalled, as was my connection to email. So I rebooted the Mini and the internet and email are now working, but once again it won't connect to the Airport Express through iTunes...? It is almost as if it can no longer connect to the internet and stream music simultaneously. I don't know if it matters, but after the hard reset I set up the AX to "join my existing network", which is a Netgear wireless router. I assumed that the Mini's internet connection is thru the Netgear device, and by setting up the AX the way I did it would only be used for the stereo system. Should I have done something different?

  • I can't configure my Airport Express after updating to iOS7

    Since updating to iOS7 and after changing the name and password on my Airport Extreme I can't configure my Airport Express via my iPad (neither in the Airport App, nor under Wi-Fi in the control panel App). Please advise!

    Try the "protected setup" method of configuring that adapter.  According to the electronic book "Take Control of Your 802.11n AirPort Network", that involves selecting the AirPort Utility menu option Base Station > Add Wireless Clients.  TiVo may have more information on how to do that.

  • Printer connected to Airport Express USB port won't come online after firmware 7.6 upgrade. I've tried backing up to 7.5.2, but it still shows offline. It is a Canon iP4600 printer and I'm running OS 10.6.8. I've powered everything down and still no go.

    Printer connected to Airport Express USB port won't come online after firmware 7.6 upgrade. I've tried backing up to 7.5.2, but it still shows offline. It is a Canon iP4600 printer and I'm running OS 10.6.8. I've powered everything down and still no go. I've connected the printer directly to my MacBook's USB port and it works fine. Any suggestions?

    I have an iP4500, which I assume is quite similar to your model.
    I had to reset the printing system to get things printing again. Only takes a few minutes and no problems at all since I did it a week ago or so.
    Plug the printer into the USB port on the Express and restart the printer.
    Open System Preferences (gear icon on the dock) and then open Print and Fax
    Right-Click in the printer area on the left and select Reset Printing System
    Then click the + (plus) button at the bottom of the printer list to install the printer again.

  • Firmware update won't work after you've tried the Narf/Blanka method?

    Many ppl have reported that their Firmware update won't work after they've tried the Narf/Blanka method for Dualbooting Windows. [For some reason, it doesn't).
    Formatting the startup, reinstall etc WILL work ... because of what our friend says here : http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=2076211#2076211
    Fortunately, it isn't necessary To Reformat etc... (at least for the firmware update) Apparently, as long you boot from a different Disk to the one you've 'messed with' - such as , say, an external FW Drive, the Firmware updater works.
    Had the same problems, same reasons on a 20". Booting from external FW Drive made it happen for me.
    May someone be helped by this e-missive....

    Sorry: the above is (partly) wrong ... - it'll get you past the firmware update but won't get you past the Boot Camp Assistant ... - it wants to see a single partition No matter what ...
    [Just for that, I'm gonna see if I can mess with the 'can't do this on an external drive' requirement ... by moving an external to internal then back out again grin)
    best of luck...

  • I am on my 2nd airport express. It won't connect to the internet anymore. How long do they typically last?

    I have an airport express. It hasn't been used in almost a year. It was working perfectly then. I tried to connect it to the internet and it won't connect. I've done a reset. This is my 2nd one. It seems that every time I move, i have to get another one. Anyone else have this problem?

    Hi Melissa518,
    If you are continuing to have issues with your Airport Express after a reset, you may want to try a Factory Default Reset as outlined in the following article:

  • Itunes skips on airport express after upgrade

    I have been using Itunes wirelessly with airport express for years, not a single issue. Then I upgraded to Itunes 9.0.2 and at the same time I installed ther latest security update (I think 2009 006). Both updates were installed simultaneously.
    But from that moment on I lost the ability to use Itunes through Airport Express. It just skips every three or four seconds, stops, restarts, it's like going back to a vynil record with a deep scratch.
    Works fine with internal loudpseakers and with the jack out. It's just airport express wirelessly that doesn't work.
    Airport express firmware is 6.3, It is only connected to my hifi system. That is its only function. It is set as "join an existing network" and the existing network is fine. Airport utility reads it as functioning normally, and the light is green.
    What can the change be? Should I go back to Itunes 9.0.0?
    Thanks for your help

    Hi,
    Ive had an Airport Express since i bought my copy of Leopard, it worked brilliantly for ages, but then skipping started. Yes im on the 6.3 firmware and yes im using Snow Leopard with iTunes 9.0.2. But ive been having this problem for ages. Loads of people are recommending getting a copy of AirFoil (which pays for itself to be able to listen to Last.fm) and even turning off IPv6 but now, after a couple of days using it.. back to normal.. skipping every couple of minutes for about 10 seconds..
    I cant help but think that theres a finite life for these AE devices, im sure Apple know about it (ive already put bug reports in via the normal channels) but its quite a bit of £ to spend on another one just to get the same result..
    Its a brillant product, but i think after very sparse use for a couple of years doesnt really mean you need to buy a new one.

  • Can't use Airport Express after upgrading to Leopard

    I use Airport Express for wireless printing and AirTunes via powered speakers/hifi. It was working very reliably until I upgraded to Leopard. Now, I am unable to use Airport Express. I get the blinking orange light, but when I scan with Airport Utility, Airport Express is not detected. Manual setup is grayed out, so I can't set it up at all. I am using Airport Utility Version 5.2.2 (522.3), and there does not seem to be any updates or patches to apply at the moment. I have tried on my iMac G5 and MacBook, with the same result on both computers.
    I am also reading that many others are having problems with Airport Express after upgrading to Leopard, perhaps not with my specific hardware configuration, but this is very disappointing.
    I am open to suggestions to try a few things to get it working, so any help is appreciated.

  • IPOD updater won't work

    The recent updater won't work for my ipod mini. It downloads and opens, but after I select Macintosh HD to dl it in, the next page where you can select what you want to install won't let me select. WHat's going on?

    Is your antivirus software enabled? Do you have a fire wall on? Disable your antivirus software, try again and when you are done updating then enable your antivirus back on.
    See if that works.

  • I have bought an airport express after being assured that I will be able to print from my IPad. I have installed airport utility on my Hp laptop and it is configured correctly but the printer I have is showing neither on laptop nor on IPad. Can u tell how

    I bought an airport express after being assured that I will be able to AirPrint from my IPad. I have set up airport utility on my Hp laptop and configured it properly with the express. But still I'm not able to detect the printer attached to the USB port of airport express, neither on my laptop nor on my IPad. Can someone tell me if and how it can be done?

    Who assured you that an AirPort Express would allow you to use AirPrint from an iPad. They were incorrect.
    AirPrint from iPads and other iOS devices is only supported on a select few wireless network printers that expressly advertise that feature. An AirPort Express will not add that feature to a printer that does not support AirPrint. Also, for printers that do support AirPrint a wireless access point is not required since the printer needs to support wireless networks connections internally.
    The HP laptop should however be able to print to the printer connected to the AirPort Express. Try also installing the Bonjour Print Services for Windows. It will make printer discovery a lot easier when using Bonjour enable devices like an AirPort Express.

  • Airport Express and Extreme are not working together

    My new airport extreme came up just fine. All my Macs and PCs connected effortlessly.
    The same can not be said for my Airport Express. I reset it, and it takes the config, then vanishes. Connected directly to my Mac, to the Airport Express, or via wireless to the express, it still just disappears and gives a blinking amber light.
    I tried re-installing 6.3 firmware, with no luck. Any ideas?

    Dan,
    Thanks for the clarification. The behavior you're encountering sounds as if it may be the expected behavior of an Airport Express after it has been set to client mode, but wasn't able to join the network. Typically when setting up an Airport Express you'd want the unit to be in the same room as the Extreme, and then if the Airport LED is not going green then it's typically an authentication association relates situation. Have you reviewed knowledge base article http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302153 ?

    Chris

  • Airport Express software update reminder each time at start up

    Why do I get Airport Express software update for 5.4.2 reminder each time at start up? I try to update from 5.4.1 by clicking update button, and zoom, the Airport Express screen disappears and no update begins. Your help is appreciated.

    I'm not getting an update message, so I can't re-create your view, but this might help.
    Open AirPort Utility. On the AirPort Utility menu right next to the Apple icon, select Check for Updates.
    Any help?
