Airport express malfunction

My Airport Express is driving me crazy. The amber light continues to blink even after a hard reset and "successful" reconfiguration. My iMac ( 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo/4 GB RAM/Lion 10.7.3) tells me everything is great, I'm connected to the internet, but the amber light blinks away and I can't get online. I have noticed that after reconfiguring the unit the software keeps "searching" for networks.
Any thoughts?

Not sure what you mean. Unplug the Express. Use a pen or paper clip to push and hold the reset button. Plug in the Express. When the amber light flashes rapidly, release the reset button.
Reconfigure the Express when finished (green lamp on solid).

Malfunction of airport express passwords

I just bought a MacBook Pro 10,7.4 Lion , my wifi is activated, but it is not connected to my network . My WPA2 pass word from my old Macbook does not seem to work. What are my options? Thank you

Somebody, please answer this question!!!! I had the exact same problem today! I have been using my iBook G4 with my base station no problem for a week, and it never prompted me for my password each time I woke it up and connected thru Safari. Actually, I have been concerned that I'm not password protected at all, even though I did set up a password when I first got the Airport express. (I had no idea which type of security level to choose so I chose WPA. Does it matter?). Anyway today my base station was inadvertantly unplugged. I just stuck it back in the wall, waited for it to turn green and then tried to access Safari. That's when it started asking me for my Network and Password. I am 100% sure I kept entering the correct information but it refused to accept them! Then all of a sudden for no reason I could discern, boom, I'm in. Aack!

Macbook Pro can't find properly working Airport Express network

I have an Airport Express that's set up and working properly, and my Mac Mini and my iPhone both find the airport network, but not my MacBook Pro. The MacBook pro is even closer to the Express than the Mini is, and it finds many available airport networks (from the neighbors), but not my own network that the other units find without a problem - my own network just isn't listed among the others on the MacBook Pro, and Airport Utility on the MBP can't find the Express either. I've obviously tried restarting everything, as well as resetting the Express and setting it up again (which works just fine from the other two units), and I've tried creating a new user account on the MBP and check from there, but no go. The MBP runs the latest version of Snow Leopard and works just fine with other Airport Networks (at work, or one of the neighbors networks even), so it shouldn't be faulty hardware. At some point it's time for a Lion update for the MBP and then we'll see if it's some weird system software error that gets resolved in the process. But until that happens … what else could I try?
I'm thinking maybe this is some 802.11 b/g/n malfunction? The Express is an old g, the iPhone is g only, and the Mini is an old g as well, but the MacBook Pro is newer and supports n … but it should of course still be able to switch down to g and find the **** network (or the Express when running Airport Utility).
Anyone?

Well, I can't delete the wireless connection since it doesn't really exist (on the MacBook Pro). Had the Express in my office, but brought it home, and reset it there and created a new network using the Mac Mini, so the MacBook Pro had never been connected to that newly created airport network. But I did delete a lot of old saved connections, some of which were from when the Express was used in my office. This was however, before I read your reply here, so I didn't also erase the passwords from the keychain, however. But still no go; the MacBook just wouldn't list the new network among the available ones, or list the Express in the Airport Utility.
But then … last night, for no apparent reason whatsoever, suddenly everything just works.
In trying to wrap my head around this, and learning from it. Is it even possible for an old network used on an Airport device to interfere with a new network created by the same device? What I mean is, does the computer identify the airport by some sort of serial number or something, regardless of the network created by the airport? So that when a computer should be looking for a new and current network on an airport device it instead looks for an old network it has previously been connected to on that same airport device? Assuming the old network should still exist on that same device, and therefore skipping to look for a new network on the same device? I mean that would suck, but if that's the case then at least I'd know to always erase all traces of any old connections for a specific device in a case like this. ;-)
Thanks for your input!
Cheers!

Airport Express 801.11b/g and the neverending, unconfigurable blinking amber light

Gather round and let me tell you a tale. Once upon a time I bought an airport express 801.11b/g and I was very happy to use it for airtunes, extending a wi-fi network and the wireless printing capabilities. One day, it beagn flashing a scaaaary amber light. The base station stopped showing up in my airport utility 5.6 as well. The only way to get it to show up, was to hard reset it, and lose all the configurations I once enjoyed happily. After the hard reset, It would show up in the utility, and I would reconfigure it to do all its cool things it once did, and it would restart. But sadly, after restarting the blinking amber light came on a again. It would also not show up in the utility unless I hard reset it again, and the same thing happened over and over and over until I felt like pulling my hair out.
I decided to get another airport express a few months later, ultimately deciding that the unit must have just been defective. Bad luck. But - the second unit literally went through the SAME EXACT THING. Worked for a while, then onto the blinking amber light- hard reset- reconfigure-blinking amber light thing. Over and over and over. Just like the first one. The end.
So - either Im missing something totally fundamental or I had the misfortune of getting two defective units in a row. Both were bought used from different places, and worked "fine" for previous owners. Am I corrupting these things or what?
I have spent literally hours trying all the resets, configuring "workarounds" and nothing works. For both of them.
What do I do with these two devices? I don't need two shiny white paperweights.
Please advise,
Thanks.

Yes. It seems an integral part of the set up process though, you don't have to seperately configure the airport do you?
My wireless security is WPA/WPA2 Personal. When I go through the standard network set up, it automatically enters my wireless security settings. So it doesn't really seem to give an option to specifically set that option on the airport if that makes sense?
I did go through maunual mode to try that with the same result:
If I'm using the airports own network and connect to the wifi, no security, then I'm getting airtunes from my macbook. Of course this means it's plugged into my router via ethernet which isn't any use to me as I want it in my kitchen, and would rather not limit my apple devices to b/g when I have a decent N router, and would also mean running a huge ethernet cable across my house!
The seller has said it worked for him but he's not up to scratch on his tech, so if I'm sure it's malfunctioning he'll refund. Obviously this is great news and he seems like a very nice guy so I want to be certain it's not me malfunctioning before I send it back!
So in summary I have it functioning on it's OWN network:
Wireless mode: Create a wireless network
Wireless network name: Apple Network XXXXXX
etc
Once 'wireless mode' is switched from 'create a wireless network' to 'join a wireless network' I select my current WiFi, security and password, checked the TCP/IP settings all good. Select 'Update'. Get the warning that device and network will be temporarily unavailable am I sure I want to continue. Then it goes through the same as before, says it's succesful, restarts to flashing amber with no way of accessing it unless I hard reset.
Thanks for the help so far...

Airport Express no longer works in "Enterprise Arrangement" Long

This is going to be somewhat long, so bear with me as I will try to be as detailed and complete as possible. I just was hung up on by Apple Technical Support after Michael waited until 6:01pm PDT so I could not call back, so any help would be appreciated.
I have three airport express base-stations that are arranged as follows:
1. Living Room - connects to my cable modem and iTunes to send music to the stereo.
2. Kitchen - extends the airport signal so that it covers the back yard and is connected to a USB printer.
3. Den - extends the airport signal to cover the bedrooms and is connected to iTunes for the den stereo.
The three units are connected via WDS in a very simple setup that took about five minutes to complete via Setup Assistant and some minor alterations in Airport Utility. The entire system functioned perfectly for over eight months until today when the Kitchen unit was no longer communicating to the printer and could not be accessed using Airport Utility. It would only "flash amber" after attempting numerous resets and even factory default resets. So, what to do -- thinking that the Airport unit had given up the ghost (I had one fail some time ago), I called apple support under my AppleCare plan.
The first representative (Chris) was very helpful and worked with me to try to reset the unit. When he could make no progress, I was passed along to a "product specialist," Michael, who tried very dilligently to explain from the beginning that my arrangement was far too complicated for basic support and that I had to buy an enterprise service contract in order to solve my problem. We spoke briefly and I assured him that I would accept whatever help that he could provide, as I felt that the particular base station had some malfunction.
We spent the better part of ninety minutes resetting the problematic (Kitchen)base-station to no avail. Finally he offered the following solution: "if all you want is to use it as a print server, we can set it up on it's own network." I said that that was not what I wanted, but thought we could try it as a possible workaround solution. After a few minutes of tinkering he had me set up a new network that only served as a print server. No longer did I get the range-expansion of my previous arrangement, and I have to switch the entire network from the airport menu in order to print. I can no longer print and surf the net or print and listen to music. He felt that this was an acceptable solution and tried to tell me that he and I "agreed to disagree" about this being a solution.
I explained to Michael that this was very "un-apple-like" in it's application and that there had to be something wrong with the base-station as it continues to "flash amber" rather than going to solid green. He reiterated his "agree to disagree" statement and said that my setup was too complicated for basic support. I offered to turn off the Den base-station to bring about an "acceptable level of support complexity." To this, Michael became very testy and proceeded to spend a minute or so explaining why I could not be helped and then hung up on me.
After being disconnected at 6:01pm PDT I then unplugged the Den base-station and simplified the system to what apple will support and still the problem persists: the Kitchen base-station will not join an existing network and run the USB printer at the same time. It can do one or the other, but when setup to do both, it consistently "flashes amber" and is inaccessible to Airport Utility - attempts to connect to the Kitchen base station through Airport Utility are met with the Spinning Beach Ball of Death and eventually with an error message : Airport Utility is unable to recognize the network.
I would appreciate any help or suggestions, but I'm afraid that I have an Airport Express paperweight.
I'll try again with Apple in the morning, also, but would like to solve this tonight if possible.
Thanks in advance,

I called AppleCare this morning and Sean helped me out in a huge way. In all of my attempts, I had not done a factory-default reset on the main base station and apparently some sort of endless loop had occurred between those two stations. Sean was very helpful and patient with me, but now the system is working as promised. Moral of this story is if a factory default rest doesn't help on the "problem" base station, try resetting all of the units.

Time Capsule vs Airport Express & Sky Broadband

Hi,
I currently have a MacBook Pro 13'' 4GB i5. I also have a wifi 16GB iPad 3rd Gen, an iPhone 6, and an iPhone 5S and 5 in my household.
I have never back up my MacBook which I am concerned about as a friend of mine just lost their entire hard drive to a malfunction, I know this is rare but I don't want to take the chance of losing everything.
Also my Internet with Sky, more the router, is having trouble giving a a good signal to my flat, mainly the living room. It is a basement flat with very thick walls, which I guess is the problem. My Sky router is currently in the office, the other end of the flat, going through 2 brick walls and a partition wall. I was wondering whether a Time Capsule (2GB) would help me with signal issues, or would I have to get an Airport Express and place this closer to the living room?
Also do I have to use the ethernet cable to connect the Time Capsule? Or can I set it up wirelessly, negating the need for an Airport Express as I can place the Time Capsule closer to the living room?
Cheers
Huw118

If possible, I would recommend that you connect the Time Capsule directly to the Sky router using an Ethernet connection, then use an AirPort Extreme or AirPort Express to extend the Time Capsule wireless signal.
Performance wise, it is much better to "extend" by connecting the AirPort Extreme or Express to the Time Capsule using a wired Ethernet connection if at all possible, since wireless extension will always result in a drop of about half of the potential speed on the entire network.
Try to keep the Time Capsule at least 6-8 feet or a few meters away from the Sky router to help minimize the chances of wireless interference occurring between the two devices. Later on, if you discover that having two wireless access points is creating interference issues, you will need to look at turning off the wireless function on either the Sky router or Time Capsule.

Airport Express refuses to be administered!

I have an Airport Express unit which refuses to be administered.
Relevant specifications:
Powerbook G3, OS X 10.2.8 with all current updates
Airport Admin Utility says version 3.1.1
Airport Express has version 6.3 firmware
Whenever I try to connect with the Airport Admin Utility, either wired or wireless, I see the Airport Express in Airport Admin, but it has IP 254.128.0.0 instead of 10.0.1.1, like it should. Also it asks for a password, and since I have performed several factory resets, I try public and nothing happens, aside from the error that "it can't read the selected base station configuration".
The wireless card is a Sonnet Aria PC card, with the Broadcom chipset, so it is treated by the OS as an Apple supplied Airport card, shows up in Network System Preferences that way. No sign of malfunction. Anyway the inability to connect also happens while wired to the back of the Airport, so strictly speaking this isn't really about the wireless functions of the Airport Express so much as why I'm unable to adminsiter it.
Powerbook G3 Mac OS X (10.2.x)
Powermac G4 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

According to Apple you need to be running 10.3 to configure an Airport Express.

Airtunes, Airport express: left channel dead / noisy.

I'm using two Airport expresses in my house, to stream music. One of them has been out of use for a couple of weeks. Now, one of the channels of that device is not working when sound is streaming - no music or sound, just an "electric current" buzz.
It's the same no matter what amplifier or speaker system I use, and the other Airport express sends music through both channels on all equipment as it's supposed to. The same goes for headphones directly into the sound out line from the Airport express.
I've reset the device to factory settings several times.
Hardware malfunction I guess - or is there a way to fix this?

No real "user service" repair options on these devices. Based on your description, either the internal DAC or the analog portion of the audio jack may be faulty. To verify either, you could try using the Express' optical digital portion of the port, if you have an audio receiver that accepts this format by connecting the appropriate TOSlink cable. If the sound issues do not disappear, then the problem may be the power circuit in the unit.

My Airport Express just died??

I've had this Express station for almost 4 years. Tonight it just seemed to conk out. It has no light at all and a soft reset didn't restart it. It shows in System Prefs that Airport is turned on but not connected to a network. I went to connect to my usual network and it has completely vanished from the network name list. Do the Express stations expire after a certain time, and if so, would it have deleted my network info? I am online via Ethernet now so there is no problem with my internet server.

Hello katsu 2. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Do the Express stations expire after a certain time, and if so, would it have deleted my network info?
Like any piece of electronic hardware, the AirPort Express can malfunction and it is possible, based on your description, that yours has. If it isn't powering on, then most likely it will not broadcast a wireless network and why you are not seeing it from your computer.
One thing you can try, is to perform a "factory default" reset to see if this helps. You may have to perform it a few times just to be sure. If after doing so, if you are still not getting any status light indications, and the unit feels cool to the touch after being plugged in for 10-15 minutes, then there is a good chance that it's power circuitry has failed.

TS1398 Airport Express - Airplay issue

While trying to connect to my airport expess from my computer I got an unknown error (-15000) does anyone know how to solve?

Try temporarily connecting a pair of stereo headphones to the audio port on the AirPort Express Base Station (AX). Do you still just get static? If so, then it may be possible that the AX's internal audio circuitry or audio port itself has malfunctioned. If not, then it could be the cable or your audio receiver/speakers that may be the issue.

HT4628 Airport express airplay function

Just hooked up brand new today Airport Express to function as airplay device to second room stereo. Have AppleTV for main stero/TV room and Airport Extreme as main wifi both are new (less than a month old). iTunes will play from fairly new (6mos) and completely up to date OS Lion Airbook to AppleTV fine & it "sees Express" on airplay button in iTunes, but does not show up in Multiple Speakers or do airplay.

Airport express low sound volume

I've had an airport express for a few months now and have been happily using it with my external stereo system to stream music. However, recently the volume coming from the airport express has basically disappeared - there is almost no signal at all. I have to turn up the volume on my amplifier all the way to hear any sound, and at that level the sound is covered with static and is gross.
I've seen another post about a similar situation with an existing airport user, and it looks like I have a similar problem. Note that I did not change anything with the configuration between the amp and the airport express, i have the "disable itunes volume with remote speakers" option on. I've tried the airport with multiple other amplifiers and nothing works. I'm convinced that the airport is malfunctioning, perhaps its internal preamp is blown?
Does anyone have any experience with this?

Thank you Totem ; )
But unfortunately, I don't think we are talking about the same thing... Effectively, I've noticed a loss between iTunes 6.0.1 and iTunes 6.0.4 when I downgrade, but my problem, our problem here, is that the sound hasn't a 33% loss but really a 80/90% !!! I've got to push up the volume so much that if I plug my ipod with the same cable at the same place, my ears bleed (quite ; ) )...
Of course,
- I've checked the "disable itunes volume with remote speakers" and my ipod is at its maximum...
- I've tried airfoil (with RealPlayer and VLC) and this is the same, a very low/weak sound...
- I've downgrade the Airport Express firmware to 6.1.1
I've got a party at home tomorrow... :_(
Do I have to consider the airport express as broken ?

Constantly losing and rebooting airport express

Hi, I have an aiport express station that serves two g4 laptops, a printer, itunes and an intel desktop. When it works, it works fine, but I constantly (sometimes twice in one hour, often at least 3 times a day) lose my connection (disappears from the wireless network list on all computers) and I have to unplug and plug back in the airport express. That fixes it, but it's a pain.
Is this an ISP problem? Is something expiring too often and is there a way to fix it?
My airport is plugged into a linksys cable modem (have RCN service).

heya dave,
haven't checked in on this for a bit... but seems like i came back just in time. maybe pour yourself a cup of coffee, and settle in for a read - i'll share a story with you.
i am on Rogers. when the problem started (the day i updated the firmware) i was using a Webstar high speed modem made by Scientific Atlanta. it had just been released by Rogers about a month or so before the problem started... the old modem worked fine, the Webstar worked right up until the firmware update - so i wouldn't be incline to buy into any line that it's the modem... it seems perfectly clear to me that it is/was the firmware.
i have recently changed over to the Portable Internet modem put out recently by Rogers. i am thinking it is also Scientific Atlanta, but i am too content with my connection/position on the sofa right now to check it...
i am using a MacBook Intel Core 2 - when i got it, i went a bit accessory crazy and went on several buying sprees for it. loved the idea of no longer being tied to the back rooms (where my cable comes in) so very quickly got an airport network set up. and loved the idea of Airtunes too - yup, both the express and the base station running. all worked great at first... don't remember when the Airtunes started doing the disappearing tunes trix, but from this forum i gather that was also after a firmware upgrade.
trying to putz around with that was a real treat. at one point the Express just seemed to decide it had had enough and took a couple of weeks vacation of malfunction - despite being told that the *factory settings hard reset* was infallible, for two weeks it absolutely refused to reset, despite my tring a couple of times every day. would have taken it back, but it conicided with a rush at my day-job... after downloading and printing (the base station still worked great at this point) enough paper for several first novels and hours going through it all - and coming to the same *do a facotry reset* option - i read a two- or three-paragraph reply in this forum (i think... it may have been one of the other discussion groups) that solved that one - i printed it out as well, and have amazed/amused friends: i tell them the story, show them the stax of sheets that i waded through with no answer, and then the one page sheet that actually solved that issue - by connecting the express directly to the MacBook through ethernet.
so the Express came back to life, but not without residual issues - at this point i will tell you, i have always (for 20+ years working various frontend typography systems and then into the Macs) personified the hardware... ascribing personalities and names to them. my Express is called Patrick, while the Base is named Blanche. some people think i do it to try to humanize technology, but really i do it because i like the look in people's eyes when i'm talking about them... it gives me a sort of crazy-cat-lady cachet.
anyway, when Patrick returned from the near-dead, suddenly i started having issues with the Base - i couldn't figure it out for about a week. did resets, changed channels, relocated phones, waded started to wade through the paperwork again.. found out with some admin utility or other that within range of my living room sofa there are about a dozen wireless networks all humming away. after about a week of that i found out that since coming back to life, the Express (Patrick) had decided he was the base station and kept seizing control over the network - despite not being hooked into the modem. many resets later, he seemed to learn his place again and once again began to function as an add-on acessory instead of the boss.
and then there's the printers story... i have two, a simple b/w laser for type and (at that time) an 8-colour inkjet for photo, both USB. i guess you see where that story goes. i tried to cheat and finagle, but no dice, the base was quite firm with the rule - only one USB printer allowed. i realized my options were to buy another express to service the inkjet, move the inkjet into the middle of my living room - yuk - or replace my trusty photoprinter.
got a Bluetooth inkjet, the Pixma 6600D - great, problem solved... not quite. all is good if i am in the back office, or in the hallway between the office and the front room... past the hallway, about 10-12 feet away from the office, and the Printer is out of range. but i do have a workaround... if i am in the front room, i e-mail any images i want printed to my Blackberry, and use it to send to the printer - the Blackberry took the suggested range of 33 ft. to heart.
and my Airport network... that i loved so much at for all of its modernity and convenience. Patrick the Express sits beside the stero, his green light quite happy. it is too frustrating to try to play music only to have it start gapping and evenutally grind to a halt... the Base Station Blanche remains perched high above the office on a race of metro shelving - her sole purpose in life now to relay my files to the b/w laser - although every couple of days she seems to lose the printer and i have to shut them both down and restart before she finds it again.
i actually took it into my head just after Christmas to fire it all up again - there'd been something updated or something... and i decided to try changing the channels again. Airport Admin couldn't read the configurations for either part of my Airport Network, couldn't make any adjustments to them, and in fact they both disappeared for a couple of hours after i tried.
i am thinking in the new year to see if i can install the original Airport software that came with the base station, back when it all worked and was glorious... and until i hear that an upgrade, either software or firmware is in fact an improvement, they will (knock wood) continue on that way.
for now, i am can be quite happy with Roger's portable modem. by default, i am tethered to a 12 ft. radius to it, but that's not such a hardship...

Airport Express Connection Randomly Dropping Out

I've got a rather bizarre situation here. I'm using an AirPort Express with a 1.33 GHz PowerPC G4 laptop running on OS X 10.4.5. I've had it for slightly more than half a year, and it's always worked perfectly. Yesterday, without any apparent provocation of any kind, it randomly started malfunctioning. AirPort would find it and connect me to it, but then the AirPort menu icon (the four bars showing the strength of the connection) would randomly start flashing on and off at a very quick speed.
I've tried all of the different reset flavors (soft reset, factory default reset, and the one in between), and all of them have been equally ineffective. After one of the two more powerful resets, the signal will stay consistent for a couple of minutes and then begin to rapidly fade in and out again. I've tried to figure out if there are any new sources of interference in my room (going as far as to move the AE from the power strip with the other appliances to its own outlet across the room), but haven't been able to think of any. I haven't installed any new hardware for a couple of months, so I don't believe it's a hardware problem; the same goes for software. AirPort itself seems to be working fine, as does my ethernet cable; I really think that there's something going on with the AE itself. The bizarre thing is that even though the connection is rapidly flickering in and out, the unit's light remains a steady green all the way through.
If anyone has any insights or further questions about this predicament, please let me know.
Many thanks,
Matt

If you connection signal strength bars start "flashing" it appears as if the AE may be going bad.
Do you have any issues connecting to other wireless networks? If not, it appears as if it's your AE.
Sorry I don't have better news for you.

Airport Express - No Sound with Airplay

I'm at my witts end
Set Up:
Very Simple - Airport Express connected to comcast modem.
No problem with wi-fi connection to internet.
Problem Statement:
No sound out of speakers using Airplay.
Facts:
1) In iTunes I can select my speakers (connected to Airport Express).
2) When I select my speakers, the music will stop playing from my device, but no sound comes out of the speakers themselves.
3) No sound when plugging in ear buds to the airport express.
4) Speakers work when plugged into the device.
5) All software/firmware is up to date.
Misc Questions:
1) I have tried nearly every configuration I can think of in the airport utility...and I simply get nothing. Are there certain settings necessary?
2) Is IvP6 a signficant factor?
3) Is it possible my audio jack on the airport express is malfunctioning?
4) Is there anyway to test it?
I've exhausted the threads on this issue, so any fresh feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks for your time.

1) I have tried nearly every configuration I can think of in the airport utility...and I simply get nothing. Are there certain settings necessary?
None that I can think of. It appears that you have everything configured properly.
2) Is IvP6 a signficant factor?
I only found IPv6 to be an issue when used in conjuction with Bonjour on Windows-based PCs. On Macs I found that it doesn't matter if this networking protocol is enabled or not ... as far as AirPlay is concerned.
3) Is it possible my audio jack on the airport express is malfunctioning?
Yes, or the audio circuitry, specifically the DAC built-in the Express. When substituting a pair of stereo headphones (or earbuds) you are only testing the analog audio output of this port.
4) Is there anyway to test it?
You've already tested the analog part of the audio port. To test the digital side, you would need to connect a optical digital connector/cable to the port. One simple test is to verify that the other end of the optical cable has a bright light appearing from it. Better still, connect it to an audio receiver that has the appropriate optical digital audio input port to verify that sound is present.
