Airport Express has disappeared completely

I got back from the Holidays and found that my Airport Express no longer works. I've checked with my cable provider and there are no problems with the Modem or connection. When I go to the Airport Utility, the device is no longer showing up. I tried to do a hard reset and that isn't working, either. I'm just getting the amber light. Any thoughts?

Hey crkirkham,

    I'm running Mavericks on a 24-inch 2007 mac, 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM, OS X 10.9.3 (13D65). The Airport Express is model A1264. I connect to it via an Airport Extreme with 7.6.4.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Airport Express has very weak signal even to the next room

    I am wondering why my airport express has a weak signal. The signal to the next room(about 4 or 5 meters away), is so weak that you can only see one or 2 lines from the graphic at the internet connect. My base station has the last firmware from apple. Has anybody else experiencing this problem or knows what could be wrong?
    Mac mini G4 1.25, iMac G5 2.0, MacBook 2.0, iPod 20Gb, iPod nano 4Gb, iPod 30Gb   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    I have tried changing channels, I have tried using interference robustness but nothing seems to work. Isn't it so wierd thought that in the same room within 1 meter distance, the signal becomes from strong to weak, to zero?? The funny part also is that when i change channel for a few seconds the signal is very strong until it drops to zero. When i try another wireless device doesn't seem to have this problem but only with airport express base.

  • Airport Express has stopped working, no IP-adress

    Airport Express has stopped working. In my Airport tool, I can't see the Airport Express anymore.
    Under network, I can still see the Airport, but it says, that it cant find an IP-Adress.
    It can see my Airport Extreme.
    Thanks in advance.

    Try resetting the Airport Express.
    If you don't see it in Airport Utility in your Utilities folder, then you would need to reset it...
    Do you have it set to "Join" the Extreme network? or something else?
    See this Apple doc on how to reset your base station.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3728
    Also, you would not see it in your Network preference panel in the System Preferences.
    You will only see the main network which is your Airport Extreme....
    Unless you have 2 separate networks....
    How many do you have?

  • My batch feature in bridge has disappeared completely after update, I uninstalled everything adobe CC using the cleaner tool

    My batch feature in bridge has disappeared completely after update, I uninstalled everything adobe CC using the cleaner tool.
    I sue the batch feature for my job everyday to batch multiple images with a custom action, I need this feature back ASAP
    Iam on a new 27 IMAC OSX 10.9.4
    Adobe CC 2014 newest version completely up to date.

    The cleaner tool doesn't touch presets, templates or other user data. All it does is flush the installer database to remove blockages. The last time it actualyl deleted any files and folders was with CS3. so whatever you did, you may have hit the wrong button. And while I underrstand your frustration, the download pages states that you are advised to backup your data, regardless...

  • My Airport Express has a weak signal 50-75 feet from base.  Any solutions?

    My AirPort Express has a very weak signal 50-75 feet away from the base.  Any suggestions?

    ideas
    buy one (or two) of those newer md031 airport extreme base stations as they have a higher power output.
    ur post is implying 'join a wireless network' so i dont think limiting to 2.4ghz or 802.11b or 802.11g would help..
    using 2.4 or 802.11b would help over distances, if ur creating a network and joining it then thats not an option
    the airport has a couple settings like power output (make sure its set to 100%) or multicast rate that might be worth trying out. multicast set to low helps with clients joining at longer distances and multicast set to high kicks off clients at distances
    put the aiprort express up high on the wall so it has a better chance of not being obstructed ?? and not on the bottom of the baseboard??

  • Why my airport express has a yellow light

    why my airport express has a yellow light (not blinking)

    Before doing a reset try the Airport Utility via Finder > Applications > Utilities ... this might give you a reason for the flashing light.   It could be something simple like the software needs updating.

  • Will the 10.8.3 combo restore my Mail application which has disappeared completely from my IMac

    Will the 10.8.3 combo restore my Mail application which has disappeared completely from my IMac?
    Is there any way that my Mail application can be restored?

    If you are using OS X Mountain Lion, the 10.8.3 Combo is the first step you have to take in order to recover Mail in the computer. Theoretically, it should work, but it's possible that it doesn't. If, after installing the Combo, you haven't recovered Mail, reinstall OS X, holding Command and R keys while your computer is starting and following the steps to reinstall Mountain Lion. You won't lose anything doing it

  • AirPort Express has weak signal while playing music from Iphone, intermittent play

    AirPort Express has weak signal while playing music from Iphone, intermittent play

    I'm having the same problem, even more:
    - Watching movies over AppleTV: switches off every 20min (sleep mode).
    - Listening to iTunes music ofer AirPlay: the same.
    - A whole confusion with switching airplay destinations (AppleTV, AirportExpress) over iPhone remote app. Sometimes remote cannot find my library anymore
    - Before, I was able to multitask: stream a DVD to AppleTV, using airplay mirroring, and simultaneously stream music from iTunes on the same computer, over the iTunes airplay selector, to loudspeakers connected to AirportExpress. No longer possible.
    I've grown a big Apple fan in short time, proudly living  what for others is the future (your media stored anyhwere, controlled from anywhere, played anywhere, stop thinking in terms of devices). And, I've learnt to savour the  moments when you can look your Microsoft friends deep in the eyes and say: "The big difference with Apple  - it just works"...
    At the moment, I'm trying not to invite my friends.

  • AirPort card has disappeared how to recover on mac os x 10.5.5

    Hi all,
    suddenly my Airport card has disappeared.... how can I get it back? I tried to restart the mac with opt command R-P but nothing... can some one please help this desperate mac user?? thank you so much.

    In addition to running Hardware Test as suggested by Jolly Giant, have you tried reinstalling the 10.5.5 combo update?
    As a side issue, is there a particular reason that you have not upgraded to 10.5.8? This might be a good time to do so.

    I bought a Mac Mini w/ Iworks.. Pages has disappeared completely.. how can I re-download with out paying for it again

    The iWorks prebundled with Mac Minis is a demo release, and not fully featured.  Unless you mean you downloaded iWorks from the Mac App Store at a later time, it really can't be freely re-downloaded as fully featured. 
    Use this link if you got it from the Mac App Store and can't find get it to redownload normally: http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/

  • Multiple AirPort Express speakers disappear and/or stop working on iTunes

    I have three AirPort Express with iTunes boxes. They are wired to my LAN (using the ethernet port). Not to long ago I noticed that there was an update for them and I updated them to V6.3.
    Things seemed to be fine. In the meantime, I just happened to notice that the latest iTunes allows me to multicast to multiple remote speakers. So, I started using this multicast (I assume it's multicast) feature to hook up to a couple of remote speakers. Everthing worked fine and has worked fine for several days.
    Then this morning, I noticed that two of the remote speakers didn't show up and the third airport showed up, but had a greyed exclamation point after it and I also noticed that the speakers weren't working on that remote airport. When I unchecked the remote speaker in iTunes, it completely disappeared.
    The three airport express boxes seem to be working (they're all solid green), but the remote speakers don't work. I realize that just having a solid green doesn't necesarily mean they're working, but well, that was the extent of my investigation. Anyway....
    I brought up the airport admin tool and didn't really know how to reset the airport without changing something so I changed the text in the location field and updated the airport. Once I did this the remote speaker showed up in iTunes, so I reset all of the airports and this seemed to get the remote speakers to showup again. I'm sure a power cycle would work as well, but I was too lazy to walk all over the house and power cycle them.
    Does anyone know if this is a known problem or is there something that I've got configured wrong?
    Mac mini & Power Mac G5   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    The three most common problems encountered with mutiple AX's:
    Itunes software (need 6.02 or better)
    AX firmware (need 6.3)
    Firewall (you must ALLOW UDP traffic)
    If all these items are met then usually what remains is configuration and/or a range problem. Since it sounds as though it works singularly, range is not the issue. Check the three most common and if they are right you are left with re-configuring the network or possibly (but unlikely based on the post) a bad unit.

  • AirPort Express has suddenly lost Power?

    I just got back from 6 weeks overseas and I left my AirPort Express plugged into the power with a USB printer connected and the Ethernet Broadband cable connected. When I got back, my AirPort had no power lights on at all, but the printer and modem were still powered through same plug socket. I have unplugged all cables from AirPort and tried this in various other power sockets around the house but no amber light comes on at all, it has completely lost all power. I've tried the Factory Reset but still no joy, any advice would be most welcome. Cheers

    Is the power circuit repairable or do I now have a £100 paperweight?
    I guess that would depend on how resourceful you are. Here are a couple of articles worth looking at:
