Airport Express Doesn't Work With Leopard?

I upgraded to Leopard, and am trying to install my new Airport Express. I get an error message saying that Airport Express doesn't support the current OS. Anyone else encountering that?

You shouldn't need to install software unless you buy a base station released -after- the OS you're using was released. Leopard already contains a newer version of software for configuring the Express, AFAIK.

  • Airport Express doesn't work with Mountain Lion

    I installed Mountain Lion and now my airport express doesn't work as a way to play itunes through another set of speakers.

    I understand that Airport Utility 5.6 must be used to configure it... but that being an older version... I can't install it with the new OS... RRRGGGGGHHHH Mountain Lion!!!  I'm not liking the switch at all.  I've spent more time fixing problems with this ... how can I go back???

  • New airport express doesn't work with Nintendo DS

    I just picked up a new Airport Express. The WEP setting doesn't seem to be standard. Instead it is this Transitional Security Network that doesn't work with the Nintendo DS or the Netgear WG511T card I have. Any ideas on how to get it to work?

    yeah, the DS just ***** like that. Nintendo should have given it firmware upgradability.

  • AirPort Express doesn't work with SB5100

    I'm helping a friend set up a new AirPort Express  MC414LL/A Model A1392 (802.11n) with her existing Motorola SB5100 DOCSIS 2.0 cable modem. I was able to setup the AirPort Express from her iPad with a network name and password. Also upgraded the firmware in the AirPort Express. However, the Airport Utility App on my iPad and iPhone connected to the AiPort Express, but showed no connection to the Internet. Furthermore, the PC that had been working fine when connected directly to the SB5100 could not make an Internet connection when connected to the AirPort Express.
    I brought the AirPort Express home and connected it to my Verizon FiOS Actiontec modem and it works fine - my iPhone and iPad connect to it and through it to the Internet.
    I'm wondering if the SB5100 is incompatible with the AirPort Express??

    It should work.
    Power down the modem and leave it powered down for a long time, as much as a half hour or longer is sometimes required. While it is powered down, disconnect its coaxial cable. Literally unscrew it and leave it that way.
    Connect the Express to your modem, leave them connected, and do not disconnect them from one another without powering down the modem again.
    Re-connect everything including power and let the devices complete their startup sequences. This usually takes a moment or two.
    If that does not result in success, "hard reset" the Extreme or Express according to the instructions below and start over from the beginning.
    If you still have trouble, contact AppleCare because you have done everything reasonable to get it to work.
    To "hard reset" an AirPort Base Station: make sure it's powered up, then press and hold its tiny reset button and keep it depressed for five to ten seconds, long enough for its LED to flash amber rapidly. Release the reset button. Then, the LED will glow amber steadily for about a minute. Then, it will flash amber, slowly, about once every second or two, waiting for you to configure it with AirPort Utility.

  • Airport Express doesn't work with password

    I've been having a bizarre problem with my Airport Express lately. One day the internet stopped working so I restarted it a few times with no change. Then I did a hard reset. The internet starting working right after this. Then I tried to configure it to apply a password and all, and when it restarted the internet stopped working again. I've realized it only works when it's in "factory settings" mode, which is ok for now, but I need to put a password on it eventually.
    What's going on here?

  • DSL to Cable Modem switch - now Airport express doesn't work

    I just switched from DSL to Cable and now connecting to the internet via my Airport express doesn't work. It's fine direct connecting via ethernet.
    Is there a known issue? I've tried various things but no dice.
    Are my Airport expresses now married to the older modem?
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Okay I got a new Airport extreme since there was a chance that the new modem and the expresses weren't 100% compatible and the Extreme worked almost out of the box.
    Truth is, I might have just had to hold down the reset buttons on the expresses longer so that they would revert to the manufacturer's default and they might have become functional since I did that later and my old expresses are now connected to the home network.
    For anyone else with this issue, before giving up or if you don't need an excuse to buy an extreme, hold that airport reset button in a good two minutes before and then another two during the plug-in and you might get lucky.
    Thanks.

  • 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.

  • IDVD doesn't work with Leopard

    Hi, I recently installed Leopard and have had no problems with it until I tried to use iDVD today and found that the themes will not load. Does an upgrade to iLife 08 solve this problem?
    I previously had no problems using iDVD. Below are the specs from my computer.
    Hardware Overview:
    Model Name: iBook G4
    Model Identifier: PowerBook6,7
    Processor Name: PowerPC G4 (1.5)
    Processor Speed: 1.42 GHz
    Number Of CPUs: 1
    L2 Cache (per CPU): 512 KB
    Memory: 1 GB
    Bus Speed: 142 MHz
    Boot ROM Version: 4.9.3f0
    Serial Number: 4H543GPTSE9
    Sudden Motion Sensor:
    State: Enabled
    Version: 1.0

    Hi
    Yes iDVD 5 doesn't work with Leopard.
    Installing iLife08 will install iDVD 08 which works BUT NOW iMovie'08 will not work
    though it needs a G5 1.9GHz minimum. So You need to download iMovie HD 6 (6.0.4)
    which You are entitled to as an iLife08 owner.

  • 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 won't work with 7.0.2

    Everything was fine til I bought a new Shuffle. It made me upgrade to 7.0.2, now my Airport Express won't work. I have firmware 6.2 and just uploaded all of the newest updates from apple.com for it (AX). The security is off on my network and the AX is connected with a green light. Still no option to choose my home stereo which is hooked up to the AX. HELP! I have spent all day trying to get this to work!!!!

    My Airport Express when it is setup to extend my network while plugged into Ethernet will Create a network under settings
    This is the correct setting to "extend" the network using an Ethernet connection. Technically, this is called a "roaming" network.
    If I change this to Extend A Network it doesn't work properly.
    This is because "Extend a wireless network" is used only when AirPort devices communicate with each other using wireless only......not Ethernet.
    It would help if Apple used settings like "Extend a network using Ethernet" and "Extend a network using wireless only".....but they don't.
    The AirPort Extreme will need to be configured as the main router if you want it to provide a Guest Network. It cannot do this if it is configured in Bridge Mode.

  • Publish for Approval - the new plug-in - doesn't work with Leopard

    This aperture plug-in arrived for download just a few days before Leopard arrived. It worked great with Tiger. It doesn't work at all with Leopard. It appears that Leopard comes with a new version of Apache Server and it doesn't work with the Publish for Approval plugin. Does anyone know if and when an update will be released?

    I'm not seeing the Java plugin in the plugins list in the System Details list.
    Did you install the 32 bit Java version?
    Do you see the Java plugin in "Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Plugins"?

  • Airport express doesn't work correctly

    I bought an airport express, configured as an extension of the time capsule wireless and it worked perfectly
    and which later it broke.
    I bought another, configured with the extension of the time capsule wireless network, the light is green, but no device can see the wireless network.
    I can see it by my macbookair why I take the wireless network from the time capsule.
    What can I do to solve the problem??
    thank you
    regads

    Are you expecting to see one wireless network from the Time Capsule and another from the AirPort Express?  If the Express "extends" the network of the Time Capsule, there is only one wireless network.
    If this doesn't explain things, please explain what you mean by "no device can see the wireless network".
    By the way, I'm not sure why you flagged your own response as a "Helpful Answer".

  • Older model Airport Express won't work with Mountain Lion Airport Utility

    just upgraded to Mountain Lion and noticed that of my network of three airport expresses connected to various stereo speaker systems throughout the house, one of the older models won't work with the supplied version of Airport Utility (v 6.1). Here is the message it gives in the utility when I attempt to select this particular Airport Express:
    "This version of AirPort Utility doesn't support this base station. Use AirPort Utility 5.6 to configure or manage this base station. AirPort Utility 5.6 is available at AirPort Service and Support."
    Well, I go to download v 5.6 and none of the versions available will install on Mountain Lion! (even the version for Lion) Catch 22.
    Any resolution to this (other than having to go out and buy a newer version Airport Express)?

  • Airport Express won't work with VPN

    Finally made it through the nightmare of setting up my Airport Express to act as a wireless print server on my existing network (Linksys WRT54G router). However once I log onto my corporate VPN, I cannot print or even see the Airport. I have checked the LAN access box on the Transport tab of my VPN software which is supposed to allow split tunneling, but no luck. Everything works fine once I log off the VPN. I bought the Airport Express specifically because an Apple rep told me it would work with my VPN. My previous wireless print server (Linksys) would not support VPN.
    Appreciate any help!

  • Airport express won't work with Extend Network, only Create Network

    My Airport Express when it is setup to extend my network while plugged into Ethernet will Create a network under settings. If I change this to Extend A Network it doesn't work properly. It keeps kicking me on and off WiFi, but the former way works with no foreseen issues. What is going on? I can't extend my guest network with the first option, I don't believe.
    I have a 5th Generation AirPort Extreme and a 1st Gen AirPort Express.
