Airport Express Detection (Not finding devices)

I have an Airport Extreme and two (2) Airport Express devices. I recently did the firmware update for the Airport Extreme and now my (2) Airport Express devices are not being detected.
Is there something I am doing wrong, is there somewhere I need to look to begin detection? It used to be automatic.

When you reset the AirPort Extreme, this caused a communication loss with the AirPort Express devices, so the network is likely out of sequence.
If you have not already done so, perform a complete power cycle on the entire network.
Power off everything on the network....all devices...power down order is not important
Wait a minute
Start the modem first and let it run a minute by itself
Start the AirPort Extreme next the same way
Start each AirPort Express one at a time the same way
Start other devices one at a time the same way until everything is powered back up
Check the network
If the Express devices still are not connecting, you will need to perform a Factory Default Reset on each Express and then reconfigure it again.

  • TS1253 airport express can not find a driver for my my Samsung CLX-3185 connected with a USB. I can see the printer and it tells me that driver is available but then it can not find it.

    I can see and download the driver from the net but it does not help the Airport Express. What can I do?

    Thanks for your answer.
    actually, my ipod will not let me activate it with apple id, this happened when the new iOS acutalizó understand that has more security, but do not know what to do.

  • My airport utility does not find my airport express device

    My airport utility does not find my airport express device

    In order for the AirPort Utility on your iOS device to find the Express, both need to be connected to the same Wi-Fi network. By default, the Express will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a network name of something like: Apple Network NNNNNN. Can you iOS device find this network?

  • HT1515 my airport express in not detected?

    my airport express in not detected by my airport utility, and i want to conected to the wi fi of an internet conection.

    In order for AirPort Utility to be able to detect your AirPort Express you need to either be connected to the AirPort Express via WiFi or by connecting an ethernet cable from your computer to the Express.

  • Airport utility can not find my airport express...

    Airport utility can not find my airport express...
    I was trying to connect a PC  (Windows XP) laptop to my wireless network via the airport express.
    I have a Mac with an airport that I use to get internet in my other room.  I am trying to get internet on the laptop too.
    I somehow manage to erase my network & now my airport utilities won't even scan/recognize my airport??
    ANY help would be appreciated, mac helpline wanted $59 to help & I live in a small northern community where they do not have anyone that will address a Mac issue!!
    Thanks for your time.

    Thank you SO MUCH Tesserax for taking the time to help!
    I powered everything down, slowly powered everything else up from the modem to the airport then the computer.  I then reset the airport & rescaned it through utilities.  I set up a new network & voila!  wireless up & running again.
    I am going to try to connect the laptop to the network now.....well, mabey tomorrow night, I've had enough for 1 evening!
    I will update....or possibly be begging for more help...we'll see!
    Thanks again for your time!

  • Airport Express will not talk to my router

    I have 2 airport express stations that are 6.3 and they have always been able to connect to my qwest wireless router no prob. I've recently updated to Leopard and was surprised to see the new airport utility instead of the airport admin and airport setup tools. I like the new utility and interface as it seems less confusing than the old but now I'm having issues.
    1. I can get the new utility to recognize my airport express ONLY when I do a hard reset to the airport express.
    2. As I've done many times in the past, I go through the following setup protocol to join my current wireless network. I simply want to join my current network so I can talk to my stereo and printer wirelessly.
    3. When I finish the setup and hit update, the airport utility updates the express successfully and then attempts to restart the express in order to join my network. This is where the problem lies.
    *Here's the error message I get:*
    AirPort Utility was unable to find your Apple wireless device after restarting.
    The settings for this Apple wireless 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.
    Now, I've tried repeating this process 10 times with both airport express stations and the same result happens? Remember, the only way for the utility to find the express is to hard reset the express. What gives? I bought both of these express stations over a year ago and they've been working fine til now. Because they are older and updated to 6.3, I shouldn't update them to the 802.11n7.3.1 update or should I? Is there something different about this new airport utility in Leopard that is causing the problem?
    Like I said, I've done this exact same thing many times and its pretty straight forward but I'm stumped.
    Anyone? Thanks in advance

    I've got the solution! It took me some fair hours, though...
    It seems the Airport Express can not handle the WEP-encryption properly, nor the 64 or the 128 bit versions. Here's how to work around it:
    1) change your routers encryption to WPA2 with passkey (WPA-2-PSK). You may use the 10-digit code supplied with most routers or any of your own choice.
    2) Change all wireless cards in your network to WPA2-PSK. It can take some time to figure it all out, but in the end you'll fix it. I had to download a new driver for my D-Link card DWL-G650 for instance.
    3) Do the usual config thing with the Airport Express. Choose to connect to an existing network, apply the 10-digit passkey (be sure to choose the WPA2-PSK-option in the drop down-menu).
    4) Off you go! Itunes will find the remote speakers, green lights all over and everybody turns happy...

  • Airport Express A1088 Not Working With iTunes 10 AirPlay but works with iPad & iPhone

    Hi,
    I'm really hoping someone can help me. I have just got an ADSL connection at home and have started using my Airport Express I've had for years but haven't used, model number A1088. I can use the Airport Express to use AirPlay from my iPhone, iPod and iPad. iTunes 10 on my 2010 13" MacBook Pro recognises the Airport Express as an AirPlay device, however when I attempt to play music through remote speakers using the Airport Express as the AirPlay device I receive the error message "An error occurred while connecting to AirPlay device "emptyk86 Airport Express". The network connection failed". I have performed numerous hard resets and resets within the Airport Utility, to no avail. I could accept that as the Aiport Express is quite old now, that it could be broken, but as it works for all iPhones, iPods, and iPads I don't understand what I'm doing wrong!
    Thanks for your time.

    The same thing started happening to me this morning.  I have an old Airport Express, New MacBook Pro, recently updated to Lion, have the latest version of iTunes.  Everything worked fine until this morning.  I was playing music, stopped it, and when I tried to resume, got the error message. I turned evertying off and on and reset everything.  The problem persisted.  However, I had no problem playng music from my iPad library through the system using the iPad. 
    I have a remote app on the iPad and, oddly enough, found that I could play anything (playlists, songs, etc.) from the MacBook Pro iTunes library through the system using the iPad remorte app.  Once I had that running, I went back to the MacBook Pro and found I had full functionality with iTunes on the MacBook Pro.  I closed and reopened iTunes a couple of times on the MacBook Pro to test it, and found that sometimes it would work fine and sometimes I would get the error message.  When I got the error message, I went through the procedure with the iPad to get it going, and that worked most of the time.  When it did not work the first time, I found that playing a song from the iPad library first and then going to the remote app seemed to help. 
    For sure, this is more a workaround than a solution, but maybe someone who understands how these things work might recognize the problem and propose a solution.

  • Hi, The Airport Express does not work with iOS 7.0.4, I appreciate your help to resolve this event. Thank you,

    Hi, The Airport Express does not work with iOS 7.0.4, I appreciate your help to resolve this event. Thank you,

    Please locate the model number of the AirPort Express and post back that information.
    The model number is located on the side of the AirPort Express. It begins with an "A" followed by four numbers.
    We are not sure what you mean by "does not work".  Does this mean that the AirPort Express worked at one time and has just recently stopped working?
    Have you installed a newer operating system on your iOS device recently?
    Or, is this a new AirPort Express that you are trying to configure for the first time?
    If yes, what service will the AirPort Express perform on your network?
    Please remember that we cannot see your network, so we only know as much about your problem as you can tell us.

  • My airport express is not recognizing an IP address. How can this be fixed?

    My airport Express is not recognizing an IP address. How can this be fixed?

    I would recommend that you do the following as a minimum:
    Power-down the modem, AirPort base station, and computer(s).
    While all of the devices are powered-down, perform a "factory default" reset on the base station. This will get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration and make setting it up much easier, especially if you use the "Assist me" process within the AirPort Utility. (ref: Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule)
    After the base station resets, go ahead and power it back down.
    Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes.
    Power-up the base station; wait at least 5-10 minutes.
    Power-up your computer(s).
    In this basic configuration, computers connected to the base station, either by wire or wireless (as appropriate for the base station type), should now be able to access the Internet through the ISP's modem. Once Internet connectivity has been verified, you can use the AirPort Utility to configure the base station for wireless security and any other desired options.

  • My new airport express does not connect my printer to my computer?  My old airport did! then I updated to OS 10.9.2.  How do I get it connected?

    My new airport express does not connect my printer to my computer.  The old airport did.  I recently updated to OS 10.9.2.  I have since bought a new
    HP 6700 all in one wireless printer,  got the latest Comcast router.  None of which connect to my computer wirelessly.  Which do I throw away the printer, router, or Mac?  Help

    Contact HP for support.
    Explain that you are using a Mac, anticipate the inevitable groan, and wait patiently for their resident Mac expert to return from vacation.
    Until then download and install its driver here: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?product=5058338&cc=us&dlc=en &lc=en
    Otherwise return the printer and purchase one from a company that visibly supports OS X. HP isn't on that list.

  • Airport Express suddenly not extending

    First, some technical info.
    I am using a late model Airport Extreme with an early model Airport Express to extend my network. All has been working fine until recently. The Airport Express blinks amber and the utility says the connection is good but that the Base Station was unable to extend the network. I have not many any changes to either my Airport Extreme or the Airport Express. Have unplugged the Express and plugged it back in, but get the same result. What would cause it to suddenly drop off the network? Thoughts?

    AMAZING!
    Setup: AirPort Express extends Time Capsule both on 7.6.4
    Symptom:  Suddenly AirPort Express blinks and AirPort Utility says AirPort Express seems to have problem extending the network
    Solution:  Google "airport express not extending" and click link to "Airport Express suddenly not extending"
    Problem solved in seconds!
    PS:  I wasted 5 minutes earlier when I pressed the reset button in my AirPort Express hardware and had to reconnect it to my internet connection as the extending network although the setup was very intuitively easy ( a very intelligent setup sequence all figured out by Apple ) ... then I read this !

  • Need Help...my wireless airport express will not work with my update of snow leopard

    after installing snow leopard on my macbook pro my airport express will not work...or will connect only for a minute at a time.

    If you mean by "airport express" the square airport router you plug in and has a usb port then run the Airport Utility located in your Utilities folder to set it up again. If AU doesn't see it you may need to do a re-set of the AE.

  • Airport express does not appear in Airport Utility

    Hello,
    I am having problems connecting my Airport Express to my network.
    My configuration is all Apple. I am attempting to set up Airtunes. I have an Airport Extreme (software version 5.7) plus Airport Express. The Airport Extreme is hardwired to my Power Mac G5 (10.5.6) via ethernet. Wireless security is WEP 128 bit.
    The Airport Express appears to establish a connection with no problems. The indicator light on the Express goes through normal start up and then a steady solid green.
    Airport Utility shows the Airport Extreme but the Airport Express is not listed.
    Any suggestions on how to make the connection are appreciated!
    Thank you!

    When having difficulties accessing the AirPort thru the AirPort Utility, try the following, in order checking accessibility with the AirPort Utility after each step:
    o Check the local connection. If you are trying to access the AirPort wirelessly, make sure that you are connected to its wireless network before running the AirPort Utility to administer it. If you are still unable to access it with the utility, temporarily connect your computer directly using an Ethernet cable to one of the base station's LAN ports.
    o Power cycle the base station. Remove the power adapter's plug from the power outlet, and then, wait 15 seconds before plugging it back in.
    o Perform a "factory default" (AirPort Express) or "hard" (AirPort Extreme / Time Capsule) reset.
