Airport Express and MacBook

I am about to go mad.. unless someone can help.
I have a MacBook 10.5.4; a Mac Mini 10.5.4 and an old Graphite iMac 10.4.11 - I have 3 x Airport Express Base Stations with speakers/printers connected thro' out my house - they have been configured to join the existing network which is centred on my Airport Extreme Base Station.
All of the software on the Base Stations and Macs are latest version via Apple Software Upgarde.
Now - Both the Mini and the iMac can see the 3 x Airport Express units plus the Airport Extreme in Apple Airport Utility. Both the Mac Mini and the iMac can stream iTunes to any of the Airport Express units as well as print to two printers connected to two of the Airport Express Units.
But - the Macbook has BIG problems. It cannot see any of the Airport Express Units in Apple Airport Utility AND it cannot see the speakers in the iTunes menu OR print to any of the printers plugged in to the Apple Airport Express units.
I also have an HP Printer/Copier which has wireless access for for printing via F180EE protocol. Again both the Mac Mini and the olderiMac can print this way BUT the Macbook cannot see the printer whatsoever.
I have tried re-setting the Airport Express Units (all 3 of them) - using the PIN (Factory Restore Setting). At "native" re-set stage, the Airport Express Units CAN be seen in Apple Airport Utility on the Macbook BUT - as soon as I try to configure them to join the wireless network hosted by the Airport Extreme - the software sticks (with the dreaded coloured rotating wheel) with the message - "Trying to Read Configuration". NOTHING can be done beyond this stage.
Finally - I can easily re-configure all 3 x Airport Express units in Airport Airport Utility using EITHER the Mac Mini OR the the iMac - configuration is easy and seamless as it should be.
So - does anyone know what is wrong with my new Macbook - and why can't is see / use / configure any of the Express Units.
I have spent hours and hours and hours trying to figure this out.
Help!
(Thanks!)

Hi - yes - my Macbook is a month old so new... and yes I can see and access the wireless network via the Macbook and Airport Extreme Network. It also sees all my neighbours networks too.
It just does not want to see the Express Units at all. I CAN see the Extreme in Airport Admin Utility - but not the 3 x Expresses (not seen in Admin Utility or Airtunes!)
I have read lots of posts on here about Express units and not being seen in Admin Utility - but I cannot understand why my Mini and iMac can see everything yet the Macbook is being selective (yes to the Extreme but no to the Expresses).
Weird eh?
Thanks for getting back to me. Any more tips / idea appreciated..

  • Airport Express and MacBook Pro

    Hi,
    My MacBook Pro is about 2 years old or so. It has only been today when my MacBook stopped receiving wireless (my airport express is right under my laptop, under the desk). The airport signal bar in the upper right corner reads strong. However, when i open Safari 3.2.1, it refuses to load any page. I know my Airport Express works as I am using it on my iPhone.
    Is there a solution to help my macbook pro recognize the Airport signal again? I've tried restarting / resetting my Airport Express and cycling my cable modem. None seem to be the solution.
    I open to my Airport Admin Utility and there seems to be negative noise and signal for my laptop... is there a reason for this? Here's a screenie of it.. the top is my laptop while the second one is my iphone: http://twitpic.com/wyz2/full
    thanks in advance!

    Hi,
    I'm having exactly the same problem. My iPhone is perfect but my Macbook receives the wifi conection intermitantly. It usally works for a few minutes then drops out completely. I used iStumbler to confirm the Express signal is constant. Also, to check that other WiFi connections in the area weren't interferring by changing the channel. But it has to be the Macbook which incidentally works absolutely fine on every other Wifi connection I've connected to.
    Some little setting on the Express perhaps? Did you have any joy?

  • Older Airport Express and MacBook Air pairing....

    Here's the story:
    I have a MacBookAir (very nice) which I use in a place without a wired / telephone line / broadband internet access. So, I use a Vodaphone wireless broadband connection using a USB dongle. Works well. That, of course, uses up the only available USB port on the MacBookAir, which means I am not able to easily plug in my small portable printer, which also requires USB, unless I disconnect the Vodaphone dongle, unplug it, plug in the computer, printer, then reestablish the Vodaphone connection....you see the hassle !
    I have an older Airport Express (not sure if it is a, b, g ?) probably 3 years old. I had thought that I could use it to create a wireless network with my MacBookAir to use for printing.
    The configuration I envisaged was as follows: Airport Express in to plug socket; USB connection from AE to printer. No physical connection between AE or printer to MacBookAir.
    Using Airport Utility I try to discover the AE but scanning comes up with nothing. The AE in the meantime when first plugged in shows solid green, then a solid amber, then after about 15 seconds goes to flashing amber. Evidently, the AE, Airport Utility and my MacBookAir are not finding each other.
    So: is it that the older AE and the new MacBookAir are not compatible, using different versions of the 802.11 ? Or have I got the set up completely wrong ? - ie. does the AE not speak wirelessly to the computer ? - does it need another base station to create the wireless network eg. Time Capsule or Airport Express Base Station ? I thought an AE would create its own little wireless network.
    Thoughts, suggestions, help all appreciated ! Thanks.

    So: is it that the older AE and the new MacBookAir are not compatible, using different versions of the 802.11 ?
    Yes, they are compatible. The older AirPort Express Base Station (AX) is a 802.11b/g-capable device, which the new MacBook Air also supports.
    The MacBook Air should also have the latest version of the AirPort Utility already installed so it should just be a matter of setting up the AX for what you need. There are several way to configure the AX to share a USB printer. The two most common ways is either a "stand-alone" wireless network or to "join" it to an existing one. Since you don't appear to have the latter, here's the set up steps for a stand-alone configuration.
    Perform a "factory default" reset of the AX
    o (ref: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=108044)
    Either connect to the AX's wireless network, or temporarily, connect directly (using an Ethernet cable) to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then, using the AirPort Utility (in Manual Setup), configure the following settings:
    AirPort - Base Station
    o Base Station Name: <whatever you wish or use the default>
    o Base Station Password: <enter the desired base station administrator password>
    o Verify Password: <re-enter the base station administrator password>
    o Remember this password in my keychain: (optional)
    o Set time automatically: (optional)
    o Allow configuration over Ethernet WAN port: checked
    AirPort - Base Station - Base Station Options
    o Contact: (optional)
    o Location: (optional)
    o Status Light: Always On (Default)
    AirPort - Wireless
    o Wireless Mode: Create a wireless network
    o Network Name: <enter name or leave default>
    o Radio Mode: 802.11b/g compatible
    o Channel: Automatic
    o Wireless Security: None
    AirPort - Wireless - Wireless Options
    o Multicast Rate: 2 Mbps
    o Transmit Power: 100%
    o Create a closed network: unchecked
    o Use interference robustness: unchecked
    AirPort - Access Control
    o MAC Address Access Control: Not Enabled
    Internet - Internet Connection
    o Connect Using: Ethernet
    o Configure IPv4: Using DHCP
    o DNS Server(s): (optional)
    o Domain Name: (optional)
    o DHCP Client ID: (optional)
    o Ethernet WAN Port: Automatic (Default)
    o Connection Sharing: Share a public IP address
    Internet - DHCP
    o DHCP Range: 10.0.1.x
    o DHCP Beginning Address: 10.0.1.2
    o DHCP Ending Address: 10.0.1.200
    o DHCP Lease: 4 hours
    o DHCP Message: (optional)
    o LDAP Server: (optional)
    Internet - NAT
    o Enable default at: unchecked
    o Enable NAT Port Mapping Protocol: checked
    Once you verified that you can get Internet access for all of your computers, you should secure your wireless network. To do so, I suggest that you make these changes:
    AirPort > Wireless
    o Wireless Security: WPA/WPA2 Personal
    o Wireless Password: <enter your desired wireless network security password>
    o Verify Password: <re-enter the wireless password>
    o Click on "Update" to save the settings to the AX.

    I have bought a new airport express and using it with my macbook (iTunes 10.2.2). I have joined an existing wireless network for internet in my home and with that i am trying to play the music via itunes but there is audio dropouts every 60 secs or so. I am using a set of speakers from kenwood connected to the airport express. The operating system on my macbook is mac os X 10.5.8. i am sure it is not a problem of streaming music online because i have even tried playing music which are stored in my macbook.
    Is there any problem with the setting in itunes or quicktime ? Kindly reply...... I am waiting for your valuable suggestion.
    Thank you a lot in advance.

    I am shocked to have found this same AX audio dropout problem starting TODAY, every few seconds the audio just drops for a couple seconds and then resumes:  Latest software versions of everything.  No iPad, iPhone or Touch.  Internet hardwired to D-Link DES1105 (1000baseT Switch) hardwired to new 80211N AX, AX optical to stereo, AX Wi-Fi internet to basic 1st-gen MacBook operating at 80211G, and an older 'G' AX extender at the far end of the house, away from all this.  The MacBook streaming iTunes is usually 12 feet from AX.  I've used this setup for years of trouble-free AirTunes / Airplay until today.  Today I also found 2 very reliable fixes and 1 way to force a dropout, but first, I read some posts and tried ALL following settings one-at-a-time and restored them ALL because NONE of them helped:  Turned off IPV6.  Streamed to multiple speakers 'Computer' and 'AX' (restored to just AX).  Turned off 'Ask to Join new (WiFi) Networks'.  Turned off Bluetooth (can't live without Magic Trackpad, so glad that wasn't it).  Here's my discoveries:  Lo and behold, each time I click the Airport icon in the Menu (you know it shows you've got 4 bars from AX) when the status switches to 'Looking for Networks' for a second it CAUSES the AX audio to drop out for a couple seconds (it never did that before today.)  iTunes still playing, streaming, AX laser still lit, but the 'PCM' light on stereo and the sound GOES OUT EVERY time I click the Airport icon in the menubar, just like the regular, annoying dropouts.  So, to reduce traffic I quit Safari (3 tabs, no streaming, just Gmail, Google, and Netflix browsing).  Lo and behold, the dropouts stopped altogether.  No other Web apps going (not iTunes Store, Genius, Ping, nothing), so I launched Chrome to the same 3 tabs and the dropouts HAVE NOT RETURNED.  That's right, not only did simply QUITTING SAFARI cure it, and Chrome doesn't contribute to it, but I can demonstrate it just by forcing my Airport to re-scan.  Works for me, written using Chrome.  The other reliable fix is to hardwire MacBook to the Switch.  This is obviously not ideal, but Airplay audio doesn't drop out over Ethernet.  Also, in all my tests, it made no difference whether iTunes did the streaming, or Airfoil did.

  • Airport express and new macbook pro

    my daughter has just purchased a new macbook pro and we have set up the airport express. her macbook tells her that she is connected to the airport express but she can not load safari.

    Hello Jodi Meyer. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    How do you have the 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn) configured to get Internet access? That is, do you have it connected directly to another router or modem? If so, what is the make/model number of that other device?

  • New Time Capsule, new MacBook, old Airport Express and Airtunes

    I intend to buy a new MacBook and a Time Capsule, and I still have an old Airport Express, without 802.11n. I intend to use this Airport Express just for Airtunes, maybe to connect to a printer as well.
    Now I was wondering, even though the Time Capsule is capable of using the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands simultaneously, the MacBook is only capable of using one band, right? So if I use Airtunes to stream music to my Airport Express, my MacBook would be forced to use the 2.4GHz band, thus slower Time Machine backups etcetera. Is this assumption correct?
    Or will my MacBook send the Airtunes signal over the 5GHz band to the Time Capsule, which will send the signal over the 2.4GHz band to the Airport Express, thus not slowing down any Time Machine backups?

    Yes I think this is correct. At least it seems to me that this is the purpose of having simultaneous dual-band. The time Capsule can send or receive on both bands at the same time, or receive on one band and then send on the other.

  • Need help with Airport Express and so on.

    Ok so my main problem before getting into what I need help with here is that our MacBooks and now my iPhone 6 plus isn't staying online. Keep getting booted off and then I either have to select the network again or it will eventually go back on. If anyone has a solution or so please feel free to answer that as well. I'm running on Roadrunner with a Netgear 600 wireless router and a motorola modem. Both of which I'll leave the link to below for a better look.
    My Main Question: So I'm looking at a new wireless router mainly and possibly a new modem. I know Apple products are trustworthy but how good is the Airport Express and other Airport products. Also what is the Maximum speed and Maximum data speed for the cheapest express station and if anyone knows the speeds of the other devices it would be greatly appreciated.

    DSL Router to Netgear 5-port Switch and I used the switch to connect to Airport Extreme, TV, Blue-Ray DVD player and DirecTV Receiver.
    The AirPort Extreme base stationĀ (AEBS) is a router so it will do what you need.
    You need to reconfigure your setup. Connect the WAN port of the AEBS to the DSL router. Then connect the Netgear switch to one of the LAN ports on the AEBS. The AEBS will properly share the connection.

  • Airport Express and BT Homehub - how can I get it to work?

    Hello, can someone help??
    I have an Airport Express and a MacBook. My only use for my Airport Express is purely to play ITunes music through my stereo via my MacBook wirelessly. Therefore I only require my Airport Express to join my current network.
    I recently changed my phone and broadband network provider from Talk Talk back to BT. My Airport Express worked fine when I was with Talk Talk, I was using a Belkin wireless router for my network connection which worked without any problems. When I got my Airport Express, it was easy to set up - it joined my Talk Talk network without a hitch.
    When my connection transferred to BT last week, I tried to connect up my Airport Express to my new BT Homehub. However when I went into Airport Utility my AX wasn't there. So, I read the guide on the Apple Support site and reset it to factory settings. This then seemed to make it 'appear' in Airport Utility, so I went through the process of setting it up as I did when I first bought it. When I got through to the final stage when it is 'Updated successfully and is now re-starting', the AX icon seems to disappear from the left hand side of the box and eventually I get an error message stating 'Airport Utility was unable to find your Apple wireless device after reinstating: The settings for this apple device have been successfully updated but there was a problem re-joining the wireless network or finding the apple wireless device. You may need to select your network from the airport menu and try again' (Incidentally, this last piece of advice doesn't work)... So, I am not sure what to do. I have tried changing the format of the WEP code I need to enter by adding " in front of the code as well as $ as is the suggestion on the Apple Support site...
    Is my AX faulty? Is my BT Homehub (The 'next generation of router' as BT call it) preventing my AX from joining my network?? If anyone can help I would appreciate it, I am not very clued up on these things.... :o)
    Thanks

    I have now managed to get AX working on my BT home hub. I took my second non-working unit back to Apple in Solihull and got them to test it in store. They agreed it wasn't working. They then tested another unit in store and that did work so I brought that home. It would be worth you doing the same as I got a 10% discount off my next purchase of anything at Apple for my troubles.
    I set my homehub security to None (from WEP - in homehub manager/advanced/wireless/security), plugged in my AX to homehub using an ethernet cable, then ran Airport utility and after a couple of runs it finally picked it up. I was able to set the configurations I wanted and 24 hours later it is still working. I set my homehub security settings back to WEP as soon as the AX was configured.
    I also installed airport utility on my son's windows laptop and that is now able to print wirelessly as well. So, finally a result.
    I would suggest you take your unit back to where you bought it from and get them to test it. If they offer you another one ask for a Mac genius
    to test it in store for you first. Also ask them to run through the installation procedure with you. Don't forget to ask for something for your troubles:)
    Hope that helps,

  • Itunes freezes when streaming music to airport express and to loewe air speaker at the same time?

    Hi,
    (first post )
    I was recently offered a Loewe Airspeaker. I already had an Airport Express connected to a hi-fi system.
    The Airport Express + hi-fi is in the living-room and the Loewe Airspeaker is in our bedroom.
    Both are connected to my network via wifi.
    I was trying to stream music from my iMac to both the Airport Express and the Loewe Airspeaker.
    When doing this, I am able to get the same tune on both devices, but iTunes systematically freezes
    =>music continues to be streamed but interface on the iMac gets the endless multicolor wheel !
    Has anyone seen anything similar before, for ex. is there a similar issue when streaming music to 2 different Airport Express?
    Any idea on where this is coming from?
    Any idea on how to prevent this?
    Thx in advance
    Rodolphe
    A few precisions on the configuration:
    the iTunes library and corresponding music are located on a Mac Mini configured as a media server.
    The iMac connects to the mac mini via wifi (shared folder). Home network is organized via an Airport Extreme.
    Both computers run Mac OS 10.7.2 Lion and are up to date.

    Well, repying to my own post... Might have found the solution: I tried to do the same with a Macbook Pro 2010 using the very same setup. And it worked perfectly! No freeze, no nothing.
    One explanation I see:
    my iMac is dating back to May 2007, a Core 2 Duo 2,16Ghz with 2 Go of RAM.
    So the computer's characteristics (or the Wifi component or the combination of all of this) might be not robust enough to allow streaming to those 2 devices...
    Anyone's got anything to add?

  • Best way to extend wireless via airport express and time capsule

    best way to extend wireless via airport express and time capsule
    i live in a two storey house where i use my airport express to create a wireless network in the main floor, and time capsule to extend it in the upper floor, where my room is. i have like 16 mbps in the main floor, and 2-3 mbps in the upper floor after having speediest.
    i used time capsule in the upper floor because i use wireless backup daily and don't want to put internet down while i im doin it and consequently my parent can have internet access in the main floor, am i right? or do i have make just the opposite in order to have a good internet speed?
    secondly, while checking airport express wireless mode on airport utility, there is like 4 different type of radio mode(802 11n bg comp, 802 11n 2.4, 802 11n a comp, 802 11n 5ghz) which i have no idea what they mean
    what do you recommend?
    we have like iphone4, iphone 3g, mbookpro, ipad, ipad 2, samsung tv and a sony vaio laptop in the wireless network
    thank you

    What you have would appear to be working but I can comment how I would redefine your setup.  Note that both Airport Express and Time Capsule can function as wireless base stations so you do have wireless everywhere and at all times — using the Time Capsules for backups doesn’t mean your parents won’t have internet access regardless of the where the base stations are located.
    You appear to have devices to connect to your network that use the 2.4 GHz band with 802.11g such as the iPhone 3G and perhaps the 5 GHz band with 802.11n such as likely the Macbook Pro if it’s a recent model.  The iPhone 4 can use 5 GHz and 802.11n.  Can’t comment on the Sony and Samsung but you can check their specs.
    Now the Time Capsule (if it’s a recent version), can simultaneously supply 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz band signals, but the Airport Express (if it’s recent) can only use one of those bands at one time.  Likely the lowest common denominator for your devices is going to be the 2.4 GHz band since the devices that are capable of using 5 GHZ also support 2.4 GHz.  If you don’t use 5 GHz, you won’t lose much in a two-storey home because likely it’s the 2.4 GHz band is better signal anyway because 5 GHz signals drop off quickly with several walls/floors to penetrate.
    You also didn’t mention if the Airport Express is used to support a printer and/or AirPlay (using iTunes to play on remote speakers via the Airport Express connection) but that might also be a factor in the best location to place the Airport Express.  Although the printer could be switched between the Time Capsule and the Airport Express if needed, only the Airport Express will support your remote speakers.
    Recommend you use the Time Capsule as the Base station.  When using Airport Utility to define the network, after you name your network, etc., select the Wireless tab, check the box “Allow this network to be extended” and set the Radio Mode to "802.11n (802.11b/g compatible)”.
    Using the Airport Utility, click on the Airport Express; after you define the device and network name, select the Wireless tab, define the Wireless Mode as “Extend a Wireless Network” and check the box “Allow wireless clients”. 
    Hope that helps.

  • Airport Express and Airtunes not working

    Hi all. I have a Digital Audio G4. I've been able to use my G4 with iTunes and my Airport Express for quite a while. All of sudden iTunes no longer sees it. The Airport Admin Utility doesn't see it either. But I can still connect to the internet with it. What makes this even weirder is, I also have a MacBook Pro. The MacBook Pro has no problem seeing the Airport Express in the Airport Admin Utility and in iTunes.
    Any Help you can give is much appreciated.

    I can't offer any help. I am having the same problem except I have an Airport Extreme with the Airport Express acting as an extender. The only thing that works for me is unplugging the Airport Express and plugging it back in. Sometimes it is fine the entire day. Other times I have to do this multiple times throughout the day. I don't think this is a good, long-term solution. Any help anyone?

  • Airport Express and WRT54G v8

    Airport express firmware: v6.3
    WRT54G: v8
    I'm unable to get my Airport Express to join my existing wireless network in Client mode. I've been able to get it to join other wireless networks using WPA, but with my new WRT54G v8 I haven't succeeded;
    - Has anyone got an Airport Express to join a WRT54G v8 wireless network?
    - Does the Airport Express support WPA2 when joining a non-Apple 802.11g network? It just shows WPA on the drop-down box for me.
    - Is the channel selection important?
    - For WPA, I've previously had to enter a $ before my ASCII-format password. Is that true in general for WPA and WPA2?
    Having owned this Airport Express for 4 yrs, I have to say I'm dismayed by the level of frustration I've had with it, but I'm locked into it because I used Itunes.

    I have the exact same problem. I purchased the airport express yesterday, and trying to hook it up in client mode, wirelessly to the wrt54g to be a print server. I set it up with the ethernet patch cord attached to the airport express and the wrt54g. It gets set up great and I can print and attach my clients (2 windows and 1 mac) wirelessly to the wrt54g network. If I leave the ethernet connected within 5 minutes my wireless network slows to a crawl and then stops traffic. If I disconnect the ethernet cable instantly the network returns to normal speed. But the airport express is no longer reachable. Granted it doesn't have the same IP and has to re-establish connection. However, it never re-establishes and flashes amber. Seems like it has to be security related as it seems to connect OK when the ethernet cord is attached.
    I assume that to set the airport express up in client mode that the first configuration has to be made with the ethernet cord attached. Then when it resets itself to re-read the new configuration that I am supposed to unhook the ethernet cord. As it should be talking to the wrt54g through the wireless connection rather then the hard ethernet connection.
    The setup steps I go through are:
    - push the hard reset to get to factory settings
    - connect ethernet patch cord from airport express to wrt54g
    - bring up airport utility on macbook pro
    - airport is found and press continue
    - create a password - continue
    - select I have a network - continue
    - select join the network wirelessly - continue
    - select my network from wrt54g
    - select security
    --I have tried the 40bit with the wrt54g 64bit WEP
    --I have tried 128bit WEP on both
    ---neither works...if I try something else I need details on how to set it up
    - continue and wait for when it restarts....
    - If I leave the ethernet cord in, and switch back to the wrt54g wireless network, the airport express shows up in the airport utility very quickly. and seems to work for a while before taking my wireless network down.
    - If I remove the ethernet cord and switch the macbook over to the wrt54g wireless network, the airport express never shows up in the airport utility and the airport express flashes amber. From the manual, this says there is connectivity issues. And through process of elimination, looks like the airport express can't get passed the security with the wrt54g.
    So, I too, look for assistance.
    PS. I have had the wrt54g for a couple of years and have not upgraded firmware so if that is necessary then I can do that.
    PSS. At the very first airport express setup there was a new firmware loaded. Does this have to be re-applied if the airport express is hard reset (ie, paper clip in the reset hole for 10 seconds)?
