Airport express firmware 7.5.2, where to find?

HI there,
Im just trying to set up my "old" AX that I havent been using for a while. Its about 2-3 years old. After resetting it to factory defaults it finds it in tha AX Utility but after all settings has been changed in order to join my wireless network its not able to restart, yellow light is blinking. What Im wondering is, now that I checked which version my AX has (currently v. 6.3) is where do I find the firmware 7.5.2? and should I update the AX utility as well?
I am soon upgrading to Snow Leopard. Maybe the upgrade brings the AX to the latest stand?
I guess the only thing to upgrade is my AX?
Cheers

you won't !
6.3 is the current firmware for an AX.
7.5.2 is for certain time capsules and airport extremes.

  • Clicking sound originating from Airport Express firmware 7.5.2 and later

    Hello,
    I have submitted a bug report through Apple Developer Connection (I am a registered developer). By posting this here I want to get support for our case: Make Apple fix the Airport Express firmware.
    Summary:
    The Airport Express device has a bug which appeared first in version 7.5.2. It produces a "clicking" sound when using AirPlay to transport music from an iPhone or a Mac, when certain frequencies are being played. This is not depending on the attached amplifier or headphones, digital or analog output, network settings (network created by Airport Express or not), Mac or iPhone used, audio cable or power supply involved or due to bad quality of the sound file played. The problems are not there when audio is played directly from a Mac or an iPhone through headphones or optical out. We and my colleagues (developers and audophiles) have ruled out all the other options. The problem boils down to a change in the Airports firmware starting with 7.5.2. In 7.4.2 the clicking sound is not there.
    Steps to Reproduce:
    Play the following song via AirPlay on an Airport Express device having firmware 7.5.2 or higher. The Airport Express being used in our tests is the model produced from March 2008 – June 2012. Attach high fidelity headphones (like Bowers & Wilkins P5, which we used) to Airport Express. Alternatively use a very good amplifier/loundspeaker setup. We also reproduced the bug for example on an Onkyo A-9070 amplifier with both optical and analog connection - there is no difference there. The loudspeakers we used are passive Dynaudio X12.
    Play track no. 6 from the "Songs without words" album: http://itunes.apple.com/de/album/lieder-ohne-worte-op.-67-no.-2/id209380163?i=20 9381206
    Listen to this solo piano piece carefully for at least 40 seconds. You will notice a clicking sound with high frequencies. This clicking is *not* there in firmwares 7.4.2 and earlier.
    Expected Results:
    Perfect audio quality as in firmware 7.4.2 and earlier.
    Actual Results:
    Reproducible clicking sounds in high frequencies.
    Regression:
    This problem appeared first in Airport Express firmware 7.5.2 and has not been fixed yet. It can also be observed in the current version of Apple TV (as of September 16th).
    Notes:
    This issue, while not being recognized by the casual listener, makes AirPlay unusable for critical listening - at least when using any firmware after 7.4.2. I would love to use the current firmware (which produces a much more stable connection), but I (and other audiophile AIrplay users) would love to see this issue fixed first.
    Here is a thread that concludes - as we did - that Airport firmware 7.5.2 and later is the source of the problem. It is not the hardware, neither Apple's, nor the connected devices:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/17296916#17296916
    Hope this helps!

    I'm having the exact same problem. As a classical music lover, this is driving me nuts. It's especially noticable in soft passages in the music, when the volume is turned up high. When the dynamics increase, the little pops/clicks appear (they sound a bit like static noise, as someone stated earlier in this thread). It happens at irregular intervals. When you play pop music, the clicks will disappear (drown) in the music. But for true audiophiles who listen mainly to jazz and classical music this is a severe problem.
    I have checked everything and it's definitely an airplay issue. My apple lossless files are 100% okay and play without any problem, except when streamed via airplay. Also, it makes no difference whether you use the analogue or the optical ouptut from the airport express.
    I've created a sine frequency sweep myself in Adobe Audition, from 20 Hz up to 20000 Hz with a duration of 25 seconds and a level of -6 dB. 
    When played through airplay, the clicks always start to appear after 4 seconds in the sweep, only to disappear at 23 seconds.
    The clicks manifest themselves at different volume levels. To my ears, they make the same sound as when you change the volume in iTunes when streaming music through airplay. Only when you set the volume in iTunes extremely low, the clicks will disappear.
    Apple engineers should use a frequency sweep to recreate the problem, as this is very revealing.
    PS: file format isn't an issue here. I've converted the Apple Lossless file to MP3, and it makes no difference at all.

  • X-Modem CE / Airport Express Firmware 6.3

    Apple have released a new update to the Airport Express Firmware
    http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/airportexpressfirmwareupdate63formacosx.h tml
    The New updated v6.3 has corrected a bug introduced with v6.2 that prevented the Express from talking to the X-Modem CE properly. X-Modem users who have updated to 6.2 are advised to update to 6.3 and anyone who went back to 6.11 can now safely update to 6.3.

    I can vouch for this (see my earlier post) and everything working fine with the X-Modem CE.
    Thanks also to ADSL Nation for keeping us posted on these boards for the problems with the previous update.

  • My Apple Airport Express is blinking Amber and I cannot find it with the utility

    My Apple Airport Express is blinking Amber and I cannot find it with the utility

    Hi, had the same problem -
    1) Connected AE to Time Capsule with Ethernet cable - Configured it  - All worked fine
    2) Removed Ethernet cable between AE og TC - All worked fine
    3) Unpluged my AE from the socket outlet (power off) and pluged it inn where its supposed to be (2m from my Time Capsule)
    4) Now Airport Utility do not find me AE (after all i reconfigured through the Etheret calbe) ????
    A) Seems that Airport Utility are not able to "see" any wireless AE, only configurable by Ethernet Cable.
    B) Seems that AE are not able to reconnect to configured network after a power loss.
    This is a little bit ****** - older airport utility had none of the problems (A and B)

  • Problem after 6.3 Airport Express Firmware Update

    I recently purchased Airport Express to serve strictly as an audio conduit. It was working well, when received a notice while installing software that there was an update available (6.3). I downloaded the update and install it wirelessly to my Airport Express. After doing so an rebooting, my iBook could not find it. I uninstalled and reinstalled software and the result was the same.
    Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
    G4 iBook   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    Same problem here! It's exasperating because now iTunes 8 has stopped all flow of music to my speakers forcing an upgrade of firmware for AE to 6.3, but the firmware upgrade crashes... so... we're screwed.
    Thought I'd chime in so we can maybe get some attention on this issue. Just release a raw upgrade and we'll do it ourselves?
    Something?
    This is so annoying. All of this music and iTunes has it all hijacked.

  • How to reinstall Airport Express firmware?

    I'm experiencing airplay issues with an Airport Express, but not with an Apple TV on the same network (using Airport Extreme as the router). I thought initially it started due to the Yosemite upgrade but now I'm seeing my iPhone lose airplay connection too for no apparent reason. I've tried resetting the Express but nothing changed, so now I'd like to try reinstalling the firmware. Is there any way to do this? The Express is 4 months old so the latest version I believe.
    Thanks.

    I would be surprised if reinstalling the firmware would help at all, but if you have the time.......
    Open AirPort Utility
    Hold down the option key on your Mac while you click on the actual number next to Version
    A drop down list of available firmware will appear
    Click on 7.6.4
    Click Continue
    What might help would be to install a more stable version of firmware....in my opinion....which would be 7.6.1 if you have that option.

  • Can't configure Airport Express after firmware upgrade 6.2.

    I have an Airport Extreme (V5.6) and I recently upgraded my Aiport Express to firmware 6.2. I was using the Express to extend my range and attach to my stereo for iTunes. I went out of town and took the Airport Express with me to use in my hotel rooms. Everything was fine. When I returned and I re-attached the Airport Express to the system at home, it said there was a firmware upgrade, so I went ahead and did the upgrade. Since that time, iTunes has not been able to recognize the Express. It tries, but cannot find it. I then tried to reconfigure the Aiport Express but i get an error message "An error occurred while attempting to communicate with the AirPort Express. (-8)". Does anybody have a solution. I'm afraid to update the Base Station firmware for fear that I might run into the same problem. I'm running an aluminum Powerbook G4(1.25 ghz).

    Hi,
    I don't really know the solution, but the Airport Express firmware is now at 6.3. Maybe you should use this latest one to see what's happen...

  • How do I update the firmware on the airport express

    how do I update airport express firmware?

    Launch AirPort Utility. It will automatically inform you if a firmware update is available.

  • Where do I find the "key" number to set up airport express wi-fi to my direct TV?

    I'm trying to set up my airport express so that my direct TV remote finds it and it says I need a special key number.  Where do I get it?  The password I entered for the wi-fi isn't what it's looking for.

    DirecTV will not work if there are any special characters....like an apostrophe, asterisk, dollar sign, etc in the name of your wireless network or password.
    In other words, if your wireless network name is something like
    kakhi's network
    You need to remove the apostrophe so that it reads
    kakhis network
    The same applies for your password
    Do not exceed a total of 20 characters, including spaces, in the network name and password.
    If you are using WPA2 Personal security settings on your wireless, try using WPA/WPA2 Personal, which is a more compatible setting with other manufacturers.

  • IMac G5 (Rev. A) can't connect to AirPort Express

    We have 2 Macintosh computers at home; one Mac mini G4 1.42GHz (model M9687LL/B) with built in AirPort Extreme card; and one iMac G5 (Rev. A) 1.6 GHz (model M9363LL/A) also with an AirPort Extreme card.
    The mini was bought new, while the iMac was used when we bought it. When we bought it, the company (who were selling old Macitosh computers previously rented to other companies) installed and additional 512 MB of RAM (on top of the 256MB already in it) as well as the AirPort Extreme card. We then upgraded the OS from 10.3.9 Panther to 10.4.4 Tiger. Then we used a FireWire cable to copy the harddrive of my dads work computer (iMac G4) to the new one. We then took it home.
    At home we had a linksys wireless router (model BEFW11S4) which we used to connect to the internet. Connected to this wireless network was an AirPort Express unit which we used to stream music to the downstairs stereo. However, the linksys router caused many problems, one of them being that everytime we started a computer, the router needed to be restarted to be able to send a signal so we could connect to the internet.
    Eventually, we got feed up with this, and took the AirPort Express unit upstairs and replaced the linksys with it. We installed it, and it worked fine. Upstairs (location of Mac mini, the signal strength was always 4 or 3 (the little icon in the menu bar), but downstairs (where the iMac's located), the signal stayed at about 3, or sometimes 2.
    After about a week, the downstairs signaled started to be more 2 than 3, but this made no real difference to us, since it still worked. Then, yesterday, it went down to 1, but still worked. Then, today, it stayed at 1, then totally disconnected. When we click the symbol in the menu bar, we can press on the wireless network to tell the computer to connect to it, but it only comes up with a box saying that the computer could not connect to it.
    We have tried more or less everything to get it to work. Turning on and off the AirPort Extreme card in the computer, updating the AirPort Express firmware, restarted computers, the whole lot! But it still wont work!
    My dad has borrowed an old iBook with a G3 800MHz processor running 10.3.9 Panther. The iBook has an AirPort card in it (not AirPort Extreme), but even downstairs, it gets full (or sometimes 3) connection. I even tried the basement, and it still works!
    So my question is, why won't the iMac even connect to the network? Any help is greatly appreciated!
    iMac G5, 1.6GHz, 768MB, AirPort Express   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    I'm having a very similar problem with my iMac. I moved the airport down to the basement last week. Reception was at 3, but droped quickly to 2 and 1 and eventually the iMac lost the connection to the airport.
    I brought the airport back to the office where the iMac is located and where the airport used to be, but I was unable to join the network again, even though the signal was received by the computer. I downloaded a widget for the dashboard that showed full strength of the signal.
    While having these problems with the iMac, I don't have any problems connecting with my iBook to the network. Since I was able to connect to the airport via the iBook, I changed some of the settings, but nothing really helped except disabling wireless security. Agter that I was able to connect to the network via the iMac again, but only for a couple of minutes until the network disappeared again.
    I'm reading about lots of other people having problems with the airport recently. So I suspect that this has to do with the recent OS X update. Hopefully somebody at Apple is looking at this problem right now!

  • Error in Configuring Airport Express

    I recently upgraded my main computer to an iMac. When I opened the new Airport Utility, it had me do a firmware update on my Airport Extreme Base Station (801.11g) (AEBS). I also use an Airport Express (AE) (801.22g) to play iTunes remotely over my stereo. This setup was working fine until the Leopard and firmware update. Now my AE no longer joins the network, which is otherwise fine as far as my computers are concerned.
    I've tried factory default resets on the AE, but the configuration fails at the final step where the Airport Utility waits for the AE unit to restart.
    How do I get the Airport Express unit back on the network?

    OK. We're up and running after a number of changes. I don't know which or what combination made things work, but here's what I did.
    1. Airport Express Firmware Update 6.3
    http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/airportexpressfirmwareupdate63formacosx.h tml
    I don't know if I had ever done this, nor am I sure that firmware update remain when one does a "factory default" reset, but I did this after a factory default reset using the AX default network.
    2. Did a "factory default" reset. Connected AX to the AEBS via Ethernet LAN. Did a Manual configuration.
    3. Configured AX, noting the problems listed in Summary. Two were noted. One recommended that the Connection Sharing be turned off (bridge mode). The other indicated Default settings were in operation.
    4. Restarted AX. Same result with error in reading the configuration after restart.
    5. Changed AEBS Wireless<Wireless Mode to "Create a Wireless Network." Previously this had been set to "Participate in a WDS Network."
    #5 seems to have done the trick, though I can't rule out that #1-4 weren't necessary parts of the solution. I've tried to document the many attempts and changes I made so perhaps someone can sort this out for anyone else who might have this problem. iTunes is back on the stereo!

  • Airport Express with Time machine vs. Time Capsule?

    I'm looking at replacing my backup system. I like the idea of Time Capsule with Time Machine, but I'd like to know if Airport Express with an External drive really works as reported with the March '08 firmware update. I can't find a single place where Apple confirms this.
    Also, I look at time capsule and think it's cool, but with $179 (AEBS) + ~$200 (USB 1TB drive) = $379
    and 1TB TC running $499, why would I buy TC? The AEBS system gives me the ability to easily swap the drive if it fails and I could buy a drive with a 3-5 year warranty vs. the 1 year on a Time Capsule?
    Comments?

    I assume that this is a new AirPort Express and you have not tried to configure it previously.
    Locate the AirPort Express in the general area where you would like to have more wireless signal coverage.
    Connect the Ethernet cable to the WAN "O" port on the back of the AirPort Express
    Power up the AirPort Express and let it run a few minutes. The amber light will be blinking slowly at this point.
    Click the AirPort icon at the top of your Mac's screen and wait a few seconds for a listing of New AirPort Base Station to appear. Just below that, click directly on AirPort Express.
    AirPort Setup will open up automatically on your Mac, take a minute to analyze the network, then announce that the AirPort Express will be configured to extend the Time Capsule network.
    Enter a device name that you want to use for the AirPort Express and click Next
    Wait a minute while AirPort Setup configures everything for you. When you see the indication of Setup Complete, click Done.
    You should be all set.

  • Samsung SCX 4500 and Airport Express incompatibility?

    Hi,
    I have bought the Samsung SCX 4500 printer two days ago...
    Since then I tried out to get the printer working properly with my Airport Express.
    Before I had a Canon IP 5300 and everything worked out great - no problems with printing.
    But so far I have only made the SCX 4500 print once with the Airport Express and this
    was right after I connected it via Bonjour to my Airport Express Printer Sharing...
    Afterwards the printer refused to print anything more.
    A scanner is part of the multifunction printer as well - the scanning is only support if you connect the printer via usb cable to the computer.
    But at least this fairly "handsome" printer should print wirelessly...
    If you have any suggestions how I can solve the problem, let me know...
    Cheers, Felix
    Mac OS 10.5.5 installed on a Macbook Pro 2.Gen.
    Installed all the newest software from the following Samsung Support site:
    http://www.samsung.com/at/support/download/supportDown.do?group=Drucker%20%26amp %3Bamp%3B%20Multifunktionsger%3Fte&type=Drucker%20%26amp%3Bamp%3B%20Multifunktio nsger%C3%A4te&subtype=Laser%20MFP&modelnm=SCX-4500W%2FSEE&disp_nm=SCX-4500W&language=&cate_type=all&dType=D&mType=DR&vT ype=L&prd_iacd=06010300
    Airport Express Firmware: 6.3

    For me this solution always worked for my Samsung SCX-4500 printer:
    1) renaming the printer in AirportExpress (AE) to "samsung" (important: spaces in the name seems to cause the problem - so do not ever use spaces in AEutility in name for the printer!)
    2) adding the printer through CUPS like described here (using HP Jet Direct Socket): http://osr600doc.sco.com/en/PR_gimpprint/x456.html
    HINT: when CUPS is asking for socket during the setup wizard use the following:
    socket://((ip-of-your-airport-express-here)):9100
    For example with my own AE IP, where printer is attached over USB:
    socket://192.168.178.25:9100
    3) that's it - printing should work now!
    If you still have any problems simply reboot AE to factory defaults, reconfigure it and go to the above steps. Good luck!
