Airport express error 10057.  Also shuts down my entire wifi network when connected

Tried hard reset.  In the airport utlility I can see it but can't get into the settings to configure it, It's connected to my router via ethernet. The weird part, is when I have it connected to my router my entire wifi is shut down in my house, no devices can get online.  As soon as I disconnect it, my wifi is back to working.  Any ideas what's going on?

Sounds like you're using the same radio channel in both of your WiFi systems.  Either you should not be using the Airport or you should turn off the radio in the other router.  Then...
Configuration is simple if you start from a factory default condition.  Then connect the Airport to AC power and finally to your modem/router.  Open Airport Utility on your Mac or other computer and accept all of the recommendations.  After confirming that it works, insert your desired administrative and WiFi passwords.
Do not expect the Airport to respond instantly to the configuration commands.  BE PATIENT!

    I'm not sure what you mean. You can't find the express to set it up.. or you can't find the network created by the express?

  • Is Airport Express the best way to extend Time Capsule wifi network?

    I have a Time Capsule which I use for wifi as well as backups. I would like to extend its wifi range. Is an Airport Express the best way to do this? Or would an Airport Extreme get better range? Thanks.

    Welcome to the discussions!
    You did not mention whether you are trying to extend using wireless only, but we'l assume that this is the case.
    The AirPort Express and the AirPort Extreme have the same range, so there would be no difference in performance between the two devices.
    If you have a newer dual band Time Capsule, a dual band AirPort Extreme would extend both bands...IF....the AirPort Extreme is positioned where it can receive a strong signal from the Time Capsule. The AirPort Extreme would also provide you with 3 ethernet ports if you needed to connect any ethernet devices.
    The AirPort Express will extend one band, as it is a single band device, but that may be all you need. Since the AirPort Express can plug directly into an AC outlet, it is usually somewhat easier to place the device where it will be needed.
    A good location for an extending device is a point that is about 1/2 to 2/3 the distance from the Time Capsule to the area that will need more wireless coverage, assuming there no major obstructions in the signal path. The idea situation would have the extending device placed where it has close to a line-of-sight relationship with the main router.
    Post back if you need configuration details on the extending device, or if you need more information.

  • AirPort Time Capsule Model A1470 Shuts Down

    Hello!
    I purchased an AirPort Time Capsule last week for more than $300 to replace Model A1409, which suddenly shut down and never came on again. 
    The new AirPort Time Capsule (Model A1470) shuts down at least 4 times a day every day.  I unplug it and plug it back in and it reconnects.  This happens at random times when I'm using the computer and when I'm not.  Sometimes it happens when we're watching a movie on the TV and after I get it up and running again I need to enter all of the password infromation on the television again. 
    This is a 2TB Model A1470.
    Having reliable wifi is a must because I am a work-at-home online educator and have 40-hours per week of office hours with continuous IM access to my students. 
    Should I return it or is there something I missed? 

    When you say shuts down.. what does that actually mean??
    The new AirPort Time Capsule (Model A1470) shuts down at least 4 times a day every day.
    Does the LED in the TC turn off??
    Does it blink amber??
    Can you connect a computer to it by ethernet and still get internet??
    The requirement to re-enter info like password on the TV seems rather strange.
    If the TC just stays Green and the effects are in the network and not apparently on the TC itself.. please try a full factory reset of the TC.
    Please rename it.. Call the base station TCgen5.
    Please set a different wireless name to both bands.. TC24ghz and TC5ghz.
    Even set fixed channel for 2.4ghz and you can also try 5ghz although I doubt it will accept the value.
    Make sure you use WPA2 Personal security with a suitable password, 8-20 characters pure alphanumeric.
    If you get no improvement then yes you should return it as it seems to be faulty.

  • I recently (Jan 2012) acquired a MacBook Pro (MBP) running 10.7.4 and an AirPort Express.  I also have an old PPC G4 tower (Digital Audio model) running 10.4.11.  The OS software on both machines is totally up to date.  AirPort Utility on the G4 is 5.4.2

    I recently (Jan 2012) acquired a MacBook Pro (MBP) running 10.7.4 and an AirPort Express.  I also have an old PPC G4 tower (Digital Audio model) running 10.4.11.  The OS software on both machines is totally up to date.  AirPort Utility on the G4 is 5.4.2 and on 6.0 on the MBP.  I bought a used AirPort card for the G4, I believe it is 802.11b compatible, and the wireless data rate is specified at 11 Mbps.  Being a newbie to wireless, it took me many days to get these two machines to link up.  This network is not connected to the internet, and there no other networks in the vicinity.
    My last problem to solve is the very slow file transfer speeds between the two machines. The transfer time seems to vary depending on which machine I use to initiate the transfer, and which direction the transfer is going.  For example: If I initiate the transfer from the G4 and send a 5.4MB file to the MBP it takes 1:32 (min:sec), while the same file going from the MBP to the G4 takes 27 seconds.  On the other hand if the transfer is initiated on the MBP, going from the MBP to the G4 takes 2:56, while going from the G4 to the MBP takes 1:59.  I realize that these times are not actual wireless transfer times but includes the entire transfer process.
    Both machines and the AirPort Express are within a 4-foot radius.  Both machines are set to radio channel 2.  The AirPort Express is set for 802.11n(802.11b/g compatible) with WPA/WPA2 Personal wireless security.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    BDAqua,
    Thanks for the response.
    Apple has used the term "Digital Audio" to identify this machine.  System Profiler has the following information:
    Machine Name:          Power Mac G4
      Machine Model:          PowerMac3,5
      CPU Type:          PowerPC G4  (2.1)
      Number Of CPUs:          1
      CPU Speed:          800 MHz
      L2 Cache (per CPU):          256 KB
      Memory:          768 MB
      Bus Speed:          133 MHz
      Boot ROM Version:          4.3.3f2
      Serial Number:          XBxxxxxMK9
      Sales Order Number:
    Yes, I could connect them by ethernet if all I wanted to do was transfer files, but I would like to network them so I could use wireless internet.  The machines are not always so close together, I did that to simplify the testing.  With the very slow transfer speeds I am reluctant to move ahead with the internet step.

  • I receive an error and iTunes shuts down every time I try to sync my iPhone

    Every time I try to sync my iPhone, I receive an error and iTunes shuts down. I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes at least 3 different times and still no luck. Any suggestions please.

    Thanks for the answer. The sync process goes well until the last step,(5th) when iTunes try to syncing pictures. At that point I got an error message telling me that iTunes doesen’t work properly. “Windows tries to find a solution to the problem” ...and then the program shuts down. I remember that I tried to include videos in the Photo tab just before it all happend, so I think that is the issue here.
    The problem is that i dont know how to uncheck include videos option since the program stops working. Is it something i can do without having my iPhone connected? I Saw that some have installed older versions of iTunes to go around the problem and if that solves it all, at least for now... where can I download it?
    Thanx in advance. M

  • My iPhone 5 battery has recently been draining very quickly. Also shuts down at random times.

    Has this been happening to anyone else? I use my phone just as much as anyone else, and l'll admit sometimes it's a little more but this only recently started happening. Around the same time my battery started draining all the time my phone would also shut down out of now where. It usually happens around 30 percent. I use my phone to text, go on Instagram, and tumblr. Occasionally I'll play a game or watch a video or do some web browsing but never an excessive amount. This started happening out of no where. I've had my phone for about a year now and this has only recently become a problem. Before it would be good from 5am to about 6pm before hitting the less than 30 percent mark. But now I can't make it to 3 hours without losing almost half of it. I've already drained it to zero then charged it but that was a temporary fix. I'm looking for a permanent solution. I've also done a lot of the power saving tips like closing background apps, turned off location services, turned off auto updates, parallax, I don't use the moving backgrounds, background app refresh is off. Yet the battery still goes fast. I charged it to 100 without using while it was charging, then I was using it just to check if it was fixed but it wasn't. It went from 93 to 83 percent in less than a minute and I wasn't even using it. Like I also said before it also shuts down out of nowhere. Any help or advice is appreciated.
    Ps; sorry for the wall of text, I just wanted to give as much info as possible.

  • I want to listen to my music through my airport express but I also have a wireless internet connection!

    I want to listen to my music through my airport express but I also have a wireless internet connection!
    I think I might have been sold a jelly - I want to listen to my music wirelessly which is why I bought the Airport Express, but I also have a wireless internet connection - can I do both?

    Do you mean to say you already have a wireless network setup and thought by buying the Airport Express you just could use it for wireless music alone?
    The Airport Express is chiefly a wireless router first, with the wireless music and printing as extra's.
    It can be used for streaming music alone, but I think it needs to talk to network time servers and thus it gets screwed up over time not being on the internet. Also by your using your computers wifi for music streaming, no internet with your other router.
    So it's a all Airport Express or back to a stereo mini cable.

    Error 999 is shutting down my yahoo mail, someone suggested I "upgrade my Adobe"will this help and whaat should I do?

    Your suggestion of breaking up the export to pdf into sections of pages was excellent. I don't know why I didn't think of it...maybe because I was in panic mode.
    For anyone else who experiences this problem, I exported 50-page sections to pdf with no problem. I now have 7 hi-res pdfs, but that's no problem. The printer should have no problem dealing with it. No error messages came up.
    The only thing I can think of is that InDesign couldn't export that many documents (148) in the book palette to hi-res pdf, and it has no error message available to explain the cause—either outside ID's ability to process or out of memory, even though I have 16G of RAM.
    Thanks again for your help!

  • When I try to photomerge there is an error and photoshop shuts down

    when I try to photomerge there is an error and photoshop shuts down

    I'm flabbergasted by this, as I've found just he opposite - that Photomerge in Photoshop CS6 does the job better and more reliably than any prior version.
    I'm using PC.  I wonder if it could be a platform-specific problem.
    Just for fun while typing this I just stitched a 26221 x 4777 pixel pano of a marina directly from raw files (something I could not do reliably from Photoshop CS5 - I always had to convert the files first).  Such an image is particularly challenging as the surface of the water changes completely from shot to shot.  It finished successfully in just a couple of minutes.

    Well, after some thought, I did a 'safe boot', did a disk verify and repair in Disk Utility, repaired permissions in DU and had the same problem I'd mentioned in post.
    SO, I went back in (safe boot.........that is, hold down start button, then 'shift') and went to applications and removed or uninstalled any apps that I thought might be interferring with the re-boot or, specifically, with my being unable to sign in with my p/w.........(at the first key stroke, it would crash and give the 'error' message)....I had both Webroot and Dashlane installed that I thought could interfere with password recognition (Webroot protects from viruses, et all and Dashlane is a password codifying appl.) I took out whatever else I thought might not be friendly and, guess what ?? When I signed out of 'safe' mode, and rebooted normally, it worked.........and has been working properly for 3-4 hrs now, so guess it's good-to-go..........seems like it...........hope this helps anyone with the same problem I'd had...........no need to visit "genius bar" some 55 miles from here............guess us mid-seventies guys ain't too old for learnin'...........G'Day, Mates !!

  • Continually getting airport express error message

    I keep getting an "unexpected error" when setting up my new airport express.  The set-up seems to go smoothly but when the express needs to reboot, it always ends in error. I have tried it with both my new comp (mountain lion) and old (leopard).  Does anyone have a helpful tidbit?

  • Apple Airport Express gets warm en shut off (dead)

    My 14 month old Apple Airport Express gets warm en shut off (dead) after few minutes. Have to disconnect power, wait and reconnect but the same happens again. Have re installed sw. Is it a warranty issue or just go by a new one?

    Thanks but its bought online in apple store and Apple shops are rear to find in south off Norway. Before I send it back, do you know normal warranty? 12 ore 24 mounds or is it due to national rules? Normal consumer warranty in Norway are at least 24 mounts.
