Airport Express listed in Itunes, but can't connect (error -6753)

I had to reset my router (Linksys) and Airport Express yesterday. Everything is reconfigured, with one exception. I have a green light on my AE and itunes lists it in the speaker selection bar, but it can't connect. I also cannot connect to the AE using the admin tool. The admin tool lists the AE, prompts me for the password then fails. In both cases (itunes and admin tool) error -6753 is reported.
Any ideas?

I can connect directly to Airport Express and stream via itunes. When I configure the Airport to connect to my new Dlink modem/router, the Airport light goes green, I can see it in iTunes as an option to select but when I select it, the "connecting to Airport.." box appears but it doesn't connect. I don't get an error message.
I've also tried configuring with no network security on the router but this had the same effect.
I'm having the EXACT same problem as nick.
I spent some time talking with support about this and basically concluded that it was an issue with the router (D-Link DIR-625). However, I've exhausted efforts with opening ports and even put the airport in the DMZ...still nothing. I'm hoping someone has some new info on this that doesn't involve a new router or rearranging equipment throughout the house

Update Server
Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem

Airport Express with Green Light but won't connect to iTunes or Airtunes!

Hi,
I've had my Airport Express for a while and have just set it up in my new house with an Orange Broadband wireless router.
I originally got it set up to play music from my Macbook to my Hifi (that's all I use it for) and it worked fine.
I have now been on holiday for 2 weeks and switched it off.
Now when I turn it on the green light is on however the Airtunes option doesn't appear in iTunes and the Airport doesn't show up anywhere on the computer.
I have reset and set it up again and it still doesn't work.
My wireless internet is working fine and the Airport light is constant green as normal however I can't use it for the reason I need.
I normally have issues with it but nothing I try seems to work for this.
HELP!
Thanks in advance

I've solved this by resetting my wireless internet connection at the box and then setting up airport express again.
I don't know whether that will help you.....

Airport Express has green light but can't be seen in airport express

I had something odd happen with my wifi network today. I have reset everything and gotten all my Airport Expresses (AE) working again except one. This AE can not be seen in the Airport Utility (AU) no matter what I do. I have brought it into the same room as the transmitter and it would still not be seen. So I connected it to an ethernet cable and when I did the light turned green but still nothing in the AU. Each time I have changed configurations I have attempted to let the AE attempt to start on its own, I have performed a soft, hard reset and then a factory reset.
This is an older device (b/g not n as I recall) - what am I missing? It is difficult to determine if the device actually resets but the light blinking seems to match with descriptions of the process on the web. This all worked yesterday and this morning until my network went haywire (only the 2.4 GHz signal went out, I changed channels and reset and it has stayed up since). All the othe Airport devices could be reconnected by a hard reset after which they appeared in the AU and I could then reconfigure. This one AE just will not cooperate.
Any thoughts will be appreciated.

The model number is A1084 and I am using version 7.6.1 of AU.
When I attempted the hard reset the list starts off amber then after 5-10 seconds the amber light flashes rapidly and that is when I remove the paper clip I am using to push the button. Afterwards it goes solid amber for a bit then flashes amber. If the devices is not plugged into the ethernet it stays flashing amber, it it is connected to the ethernet it goes steady green
When I attempted the factory reset it is solid yellow for quite awhile then I get a rapid flashing green light at which time I remove the paper clip. It then goes back to amber for awhile then flashes amber. If the devices is not plugged into the ethernet it stays flashing amber, it it is connected to the ethernet it goes steady green.
In neither case does it appear in AU. Also FYI I am running Mountain Lion although everything has worked fine until yesterday.
Thanks for the reply

My old Airport Express wants to work but can't

So I've read a lot about Airport Express PSUs dying, but that isn't my issue here.
I bought this Express about 3 years ago. It worked great for the first 18 months as far as I can recall, we'd hold parties with Airplay streaming and everyone was really impressed.
I moved house and had no need for it so I lent it to my sister, who was in a wirless party house at the time. They could never get it to interact with their Netgear router properly so it just sat on the shelf for another 18 months. I've now moved into my sister's house and brought my Airport Extreme with me. We were hoping to live the Airport Express Airplay dream again and after some tikering and a hard rest I got the Airport up and running again and Airplay worked fine.
That was about 3 weeks ago.
2 weeks ago Airplay stopped working. It was cutting out and then it just gave up altogethor. Activating Airplay would cause the Airport Express to immediately go amber. With some tinkering I managed to have ti recover, I just had to keep Airplay running, manually go into the Airport Utility and convince the Airport to reset. By then the track tht ws playing might be about, oh, 3 minutes in. When the track changed to the next song, pfft, amber again. I maanged to recreate these situations several times.
But now, we're lucky if the thing works at all. I'm here in my bedroom on one bar of reception and my housemate Andrew has got, count em, three antennas coming out of his PCI wirless card for a single bar of reception, this is because the Airport Extreme is at the otehr end of the house. Every now and then the Airport Express splutters into action and we get something resembling a reliable connection. Unpluggin it and plugging it back in seems to do the trick. But it'll die again, solid amber.
So yeah, in summary an older Airport Express that had been reliable for years has deteriorated in 3 weeks. I don't know what to do, i can't afford a new one. Any suggestions are welcome, any requests for additional information/elaboration on parties will be answered.

Hello love4pugs...Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Most likely, you just didn't leave enough time to do a complete power recycle of your network components so that your Motorola modem can "recognize" the new device (AirPort Express) connected to it.
Try the following...
Modem/Router Power ReCycling
- Power-off the Cable modem, AirPort Router, & computer(s). (Wait at least 30 minutes. If possible, leave the modem off overnight.)
- Power-on the Cable modem; Wait at least 30 minutes.
- Power-on the AirPort Router; Wait at least 5 minutes.
- Power-on the computer(s)

Airport express works w/itunes, but not when streaming any website

My airport express works fine when using itunes. However, when I go to my favorite radio websites, my ibook g4 does not recognize that the AExpress exists. Is there a remedy?
Thanks.

Airport Express has green light but won't connect to remote speakers from Macbook or iPhone

Hi,
I have a 6-7 year old airport express that I have used frequently as remote speakers for my macbook and 2 iphones. I am currently having problems with getting this to work in my new flat. It worked for a few weeks and now he green light is on but the remote speakers time out when i try to connect to it.
Sometimes the airport is visible in itunes/iphone and sometimes it isn't. when it isn't if i unplug it and leave it a while it appears again but i cant connect but the green light is always on.
It's all set up properly so I don't know if it is just getting old and I need a new one or whether this can be solved.
I have reset this numerous times
Thanks in advance!

I've solved this by resetting my wireless internet connection at the box and then setting up airport express again.

Airport (Express) is turned on but is not connected to a network.

Hi
I am having an issue with my Airport Express set up. I have had 18 months of use of the AE for internet access (no other wireless hardware used), but have suddenly lost the wireless ability.
In my network preferences it shows the AE with an amber light (green on the actual AE) with the message "Airport is turned on but is not connected to a network". When I look at the Airport utility there is no AE showing even after multiple "rescans"
I have gone through multiple processes of turning on and off the router, AE and MBP to no avail. I have gone through soft and hard reboots to intermittent visibility in the Airport Utility. This includes direct linking MBP to AE with Ethernet cable
When the AE finally shows in the utility, i have reset all passwords etc as advised by program, but when the utility goes to restart the AE it loses it and I end up back at square one
I know the internet is working due to Ethernet directly into the MBP
I have take to a friends and they plug and play ... so know the AE works
Is there something i am not doing? Why is the AE and MBP not talking to each other?
Please someone help me !!

Hi, Kozou. Welcome to the forums!
Connect your computer to the Express's Ethernet port and open AirPort Utility. Does this allow AirPort Utility to find your Express?
If so, go through the setup process. After the Express restarts, disconnect it from the computer and connect it to your DSL, cable modem, or whatever provides your internet connection. Wait a minute or so. The light on the Express should turn green.
Now tell your MBP to join the wireless network created by the Express. You can do this using the AirPort menu or the Network pane of System Preferences.
Does this work?

Airport status at 3 bars but can't connect to internet

My 17" Powerbook is the only one of five Macs in the building that isn't able to connect to the internet with our Airport Extreme base station. The airport status icon shows 3 "bars" but will not connect. When we put the Powerbook within 15 - 20 feet of the base station, it works fine, but this is not practical.
If it matters, the other computers are a G4 MDD, an eMac, a 14"iBook and a G4 iMac "flower", all using a mix of older Airport cards and new Extreme cards. I have checked the Interference Robustness setting and it doesn't have any effect.

"When we put the Powerbook within 15 - 20 feet of the base station, it works fine"
So if I have this correct, when the powerbook is close it behaves normally, when it is moved away it still sees 3 bars, but will not connect. but other compouters have no problem.
it sounded like interference at first, but other computers ought to be similar on that point.
Can you see the other computers on the network when you can't get to the internet?
can you see the base station? (airport admin utility)
any other networks in the area?
handheld phones / microwaves nearby etc?
airport card seated properly in the powerbook?
If you restart does the connection return temporarily?
any encryption running? if so, turn it off and see if the connection returns after restart.

Thanks for the help guys... iTunes is up and running (on my PC) however when I plug in the iphone it just doesn't connect to it, so I guess it must be itunes fault, however I have restarted my computer and this hasn't helped either
The iPhone is still stuck in recovery mode?
If the iPhone is not detected you will need to try other USB ports on the PC or try other USB cables. You could also try another PC/ Mac is you have one available to see if the PC is at fault.

TS1424 downloaded itunes but can not connect to store message reads error 11222

Trying to connect to itunes store using windows 7 professional. I have downloaded and re-installed so many times and still I can not connect. The help function is saying I am not connected to the internet. Error message 11222. I can not update my iphone with new software either. It says I do not have internet connection. Unfortunately I am not very computer savvy so no idea what operating system is.

With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

(If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.)

Airport Express as a wireless bridge can't connect using the 2.4GHz band

I have an Airport Extreme with simultaneous dual-band support as well as an Airport Express serving as a wireless bridge to extend the range of my primary base station.

By the way, the 5GHz band does not penetrate very well,
That is not surprising since the higher frequency signals are not as strong as 2.4 GHz signals. Many users are finding that you almost have to have a line-of-sight situation between the computer and router for 5 GHz to work really well.
and the signal becomes weaker significantly after it penetrates through two walls.
Again, not surprising. What is surprising is that the AirPort Express was choosing the 5 GHz band to "extend", as it normally latches onto the stronger of the two signals, which almost always the 2.4 GHz signal.
You may be correct that the newer firmware has made some changes in this regard. My guess would be that most users were trying to extend the 5 GHz band and not having much success. We'll keep an eye on this.

AirPort Express update to 7.6.1 fails with error -6753

I have an AirPort Extreme acting as my primary base station, and a AirPort Express acting to extend my wireless network. The Extreme updated just fine to 7.6.1 (The update took a while, but it was fully successful.) But my AirPort Express repeatedly fails to update. I get the message "An error occured while updating software -6753".
Also note that I first did the update to OS X 10.7.3 (not yet a choice in the Operating System dropdown below this form.)
Any thoughts?

Hi Marne,
Thanks for reply. Good to hear everthing is working fine with your Express.
wifiguru wrote something interesting on a similar thread, which helped me updating the Express. In the configuration of the Airport Extreme I switched from channels automatic to channel 12 (no special reason for that number, just a try). After that I could update the Express to 7.6.1 without a problem and everthing seems to work fine now. I don't know how to reference wifiguru's tips so here is a copy:

Re: 7.6.1 Airport Extreme Update problem 02.02.2012 07:38 (in response to Vijay S)
Have you guys tried switching channels after you upgraded to make sure it's not a bad channel/interference issue ?
As for downgrading, if you launch AU and click on the AP, you will see the pop up which gives you AP details. You will see version info. on that popup. Now hold down the option key and click on Version and it will give you a drop down menu and you can downgrade to the older sw. if needed.
I recommend playing around with channels first to eliminate other environment related issues before you do this.
Now it's too late over here to test the HiFi but I'm very optimistic -> the iPhone Apps are working.
All the best

I can connect to iTunes but can't connect to app store!!!!!!

I can connect to the iTunes store on my iPad but when I try to connect to the app store it says "Cannot connect to iTunes store". I have had my iPad for about half a year, and it has work fine since then. The last app I updated I think was minecraft.

Sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>Store>Sign in and then try to update again
If that doesnt work - go to Settings>General>Date and Time - set the date ahead by a few months. Try to update again. If you get an error message of any kind - go back and change the date and time to automatic again. Then try again.

Airport is on and working, but can't connect to internet with MacBook

I have a green light on my airport Extreme, my laptop can join my network fine and get 4 bars of connectivity.
But I cannot get on the internet with my laptop. Websites don't work.
What am I doing wrong?

Were you able to copy the DNS addresses to the MacBook? Were you able to delete the incorrect ones? Did you restart the MacBook before trying to access the Internet again?
How about the IP address for the MacBook? It should be in the address range of 10.0.1.2 - 10.0.1.200. Is it? Of course I'm assuming that you did not change the default DHCP range of your AEBSn. Your iMac should also be assigned an IP in this range.
