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 ?
Regards,
Chris

  • Just got my airport express and it's NOT working (Help)

    Hi,
    I've just got my airport express 2 days a go and I've try many time to set it with my black macbook and my pc and it's not working at all...
    When I've plugged it, the ligth went grenn and then solid amber and then it flashed as it was suppose to do. After that I wend in the "utility airport" on my macbook, I was seeing my airport express but when I clicked continue, the computer was searching for something for 30 minutes and then I realized that I was connected on the internet but that my networks were not configured.
    So I've decided to try to do a factory reset. And then my macbook couldn't see my airport anymore. So I've try with my pc and it has recognized my airport. I've started to do the configuration, but at some point, my computer couldn't see my airport anymore...
    So please help, what can I do to make airport express properly.
    Thanks
    Vero

    I really need some help please...
    I've tried to connect directly my macbook to airport with my ethernet cable to configure airport express... but when I've open the airport express utility, my computer couldn't find my airport express...
    PLEASE I NEED SERIOUS HELP !!!
    I really think about bringing airport back to the apple store

  • My itunes and iphone are not working together. all my software is up to date. what i can do? i need to manage my phone!!

    I'm getting extremely frustrated with my iphone and mac.
    i have the iphone 4, and the mac is leopard.
    I plugged my phone it to manage my music, and a message popped up saying i needed software 10.6.8 or higher.
    so i downloaded the 10.7. it's still not working!
    i have very little space left on my phone and i need to manage everything.
    what do i do??
    someone please help!!!!

    We need clarification here.
    Please don't just state version numbers, also state which software.  iTunes 10.7 requires OSX 10.6.8 or higher.  Leopard is OSX 10.5.8.  You have two alternatives right now.  One is to stay with Leopard for a while (ultimately you should upgrade) and install iTunes 10.6.3 which is the last version to work with Leopard.  This should work with iOS6 on an iPhone4.  The other is to call Apple and order OSX 10.6 (Snow Leopard) and upgrade the computer to 10.6.8 which will allow you to run iTunes 10.7.  The caveat is we know nothing about which computer you run and if it even can run any system higher than Leopard.
    Here is iTunes 10.6.3

    If you want to try upgrading:
    Get more information about your computer. Go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window, then "About this Mac" and "More Info..."  Copy and paste the information here, but omit the serial number and Hardware UUID (if present).  If it says something about Intel or Core Duo or Core 2 Duo in the processor you can upgrade to Snow Leopard (assuming you have sufficient RAM/"memory").  If it says PPC or PowerMac, you cannot.

    It would help when posting issues here if you would state exact error messages you see.  "It's still not working!" while a description of the situation does not speed us to a diagnosis of the underlying issue.

  • My Keynote and iPhoto are not working together to build stacked photos

    I am new to the Mac world (1st day on the Mac) and I am trying to stack 3 photos on to one Keynote slide. I cannot get my photos in iPhoto to come up when I click on Media.

  • HT4587 My airport express and wireless airplay speaker are connected to wife, but airplay and homesharing are not working...what to do?

    My airport express and wireless airplay speaker are connected to WIFI, but airplay and homesharing are not working...what to do?  Everything was working fine until about two weeks ago, all of the sudden airplay has disappeared from the iphone, itunes on the laptop, and the apple remote for iphone.  I have restarted the router many times, re-setup the airplay speaker and the airport express and booth are showing as being properly connected to the router when I log into the router IP address.  I was on the phone with Apple support for 30 minutes they blames verizon, got on the phone with verizon and they stated the settings were all correct and compatible with apple, got back on the phone with apple and they again are blaming verizon and trying to get me to get an airport extreme because that would fix the problem...any suggestions, please!

    There are three Airport resets, soft, hard and factory default.  It would probably be beneficial if you tried each one in sequence.  Actually, you could jump to the factory default reset if you don't mind reconfiguring from scratch.

  • Differences between AirPort Express and Extreme?

    What are they differences between AirPort Express and Extreme?

  • Any software differences between new airport express and extreme?

    I was wondering if there are any features or configuration differences between the two, such as configuring VPN passthrough.
    The only difference I can see is using the USB for hard drive use.
    Also, do you think the performance will be similar.  I know the time capsule actually rated slower than the extreme even though they use similar hardware.

  • Keyboard and trackpad are not working, Keyboard and trackpad are not working

    I'm using MBP 15" late 2008 with Maverick OS. A couple of days ago, the internal keyboard and trackpad are not working at all. I did all the troubleshooting. I even reformat it; installing the snow leopard and re-installing the maverick but no good result. I believe there's no problem with my keyboard because i can still do PRAM on my lappy. Everytime i'm booting up my MBP, it always looking for bluetooth trackpad and keyboard. I have not used those bluetooth peripherals from day 1 i've started using MBP. I just read on the internet about the same problem has happened on MBP 13" retina and APPLE fixed it by updating the software. I wish Apple will also do something for the old MBP to fix the intermal keyboard and trackpad problem.

  • Ive just upgraded my late 2009 macbook, and things are not working properly. First of all, when I started the computer first time after installing Mountain Lion, some message advised me that some files were impossible to install.

    Ive just upgraded my late 2009 macbook, and things are not working properly. First of all, when I started the computer first time after installing Mountain Lion, some message advised me that some files were impossible to install. Once I wrote my password, and for now on, everytime I start the session, another window advise me that "Java SE 6" is missing, due that, the computer can't run some "CS5Service Manager". If I try to install it, the download ends with an error. If finally, you skip the istallation, you arrive to the dock, but the menu bar at the top of the screen doesn't show up.
    In addition, my trackpad doesn't works either. I can move the arrow but i can't click anywhere, probably because the option of clicking by touching is disabeled and I can't performance a regular click.
    I'll be very glad if someone know what the heck is happening with my computer. Anyway, I'm going to the genius bar next Saturday. Thx!

  • Internal speakers and headphones are not working

    I have hp g6 2231tx os Windows 8, brought it a month ago..now it's internal speakers and headphones are not working..I enabled in playback device from sound mixer and reinstalled drivers but still not working..it's because of hardware or software??

    Hi,
    It could be either Hardware or Software related, so try the following and let me know.
    Download the IDT Audio installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
    http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp58501-59000/sp58517.exe
    When done, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Sound, Video and Game Controllers.  Right click the IDT device and select Uninstall - you should also get a prompt to remove the current driver, tick the box to allow this and then proceed with the uninstall.
    When complete, shut down the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery.  Hold  down the Power button for 30 seconds.  Re-insert the battery and plug in the AC Adapter.
    Tap away at the esc key as you start the notebook to launch the Start-up Menu and then select f10 to enter the bios menu.  Press f5 to load the defaults ( this is sometimes f9, but the menu at the bottom will show the correct key ), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.  Press f10 to save the setting and again use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.
    Let Windows fully load - it will automatically load an audio driver, but just let this complete.  Then open your Downloads folder, right click on the IDT installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation.  When this has completed, right click the speaker icon in the Taskbar and select Playback Devices.  Left click 'Speakers and Headphones' once to highlight it and then click the Set Default button - check if you now have audio.
