Airport Express not working after update

I can no longer connect to my network through my Airport Express.
This afternoon I started up the software updated program in my MacBook Air and through my fully functioning network a whole bunch of updates were downloaded and installed.
But when everything was done I could no longer connect to my network through my Airport Express!
Unfortunately I didn't really notice what kind of updates I was installing.
There were seven in total. I think one was a firmware for my MacBook Air.
I also think there was one for my Airport Express because the last update was about it somehow and it needed to close down the network in order to finish the update. But when it was supposed to reconnect nothing worked.
I've turned off my modem, my airport express and my air but there's been no improvement.
My Win PC can't access the network any more either.
I've also tried to put the network cable straight in my PC and it works fine, so there's nothing wrong with the modem or the cable.
It must be my Airport Express...
The Airport Utility program can't find my Airport Express.
I can find other networks in the area but not my own.
What to do?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Tommy

Airport express not working after updating to 7.6.3

Hi all,
I bought my airport express about 6 months ago. It's been working perfectly. Then this morning, I woke up to the blinking amber lights, not good.
I restarted the modem, and checked the connection (by hooking up my mbp directly to the modem) and everything is fine. I plugged in the ethernet cable to airport express, powered down then up, no luck. Airport utility popped up (on my mbp) asking me to update firmware to 7.6.3 (I had 7.6.2). So I reconnected my mbp to the modem and updated the firmware, connected the ethernet cable back to airport express, powered down/up, still no luck. I grew desperate and did a hard reset, still nothing!
I am not sure what happened here, or if anything had changed, since it was working fine as I went to bed last night.
anyone else seen this before? i checked with Apple, it seems that my airport express is out of the free-repair period.
pls help
thanks a lot

Worked on it some more and finally realized that I've plug the ethernet cable in the LAN port instead of WAN port. So, internet is back. Still don't know what happened (when it died), but owell.

This is where you restore the backup you made prior to the update.

Airport Express not working after power blip

Hello,
I have been here before and gotten a lot of great advice from participants here, but I forgot my user name so I'm starting fresh. Anyway, I have a feeling I'm in for some bad news but I thought I would post just in case...
I have an Airport Express plugged directly into the wall behind my iMac in my house, and it has worked great for about 20 months. The computer where I installed and maintained the Airport Express is an iMac running OSX 10.7.5, if that matters.
Two nights ago our power went out for approximately 5 seconds.
I immediately discovered our WiFi was out. I checked the AirPort Express and it was flashing very fast yellow.
I first restarted the cable modem and verified that it was still working. The ethernet cord worked. I got out the manual and tried following all the instructions for resetting the Airport. The Airport device never showed up in the airport utility. At one point after using the reset button on the Airport, the light mysteriously changed to solid green and I thought I had a chance, but the device still didn't show up in the utility and after I unplugged the device again it just started the fast yellow light flashing again.
I have gone through other recent threads on this topic and I keep thinking I'm missing something. In the whole life of this device it's only gone down once before and it was a long confusing frustrating struggle to get it to work again, but I did. At that time the device was doing the same thing (flashing yellow) and wasn't showing up in the Airport Utility but somehow I got it working again. So I'm hoping maybe, just maybe, there's a procedure I haven't tried.
I understand people say you should protect your equipment with surge protectors and we actually do have everything else plugged into one. But the manual of the Airport Express makes such a big deal about obstructions and cords and other electronic equipment and shows a picture of the device plugged directly into the wall, so that's what I did. If it got fried in that power blip and I have to buy a new one, should I just plug it into the surge protector anyway?
If it's dead for good, I'm annoyed that I got less than 2 years of use out of it. I read in a thread here that they die on a lot of people because they run really hot and 2 years is average life. Seriously?
If I take it to the "genius" bar, will they be able to determine if it's dead or not before I buy a new one? Should I buy something else more reliable...ie, non-Apple possibly? If I had known this device had reliability problems, I would have shopped around more, but I always buy Apple.
Thank you for reading this and any reccommendations would be appreciated.
sincerely,
susan

A rapidly flashing LED is unusual, and strongly indicates a problem that can't be fixed.
I read in a thread here that they die on a lot of people because they run really hot and 2 years is average life. Seriously?
I doubt it; I have never had any of them fail and the oldest is about six years old. I don't pay any particular attention to cooling requirements. There were a rash of power-supply related failures due to defective components a long time ago, but it has been many years now. It affected many manufacturers of electronic equipment, not just Apple.
will they be able to determine if it's dead or not before I buy a new one?
Yes, absolutely. They will "hard reset" it, which you can do yourself before you go. See below. That is the extent of Apple's AirPort Express troubleshooting ability.
The damage it sustained may not have been related to power anomalies at all. In fact, if the power supply was damaged you probably wouldn't get any LED activity at all. I suspect the damage may have involved to your cable company's equipment. Improper lightning protection or surge suppression is very common, and can affect everything connected to your cable company's equipment. You should consider contacting them to determine if their equipment is properly installed. They're going to say their liability is limited to their equipment, and anything beyond their cable modem is your problem, so make sure they did their work properly.
To "hard reset" an AirPort Base Station: make sure it's powered up, then press and hold its tiny reset button and keep it depressed for five to ten seconds, long enough for its LED to flash amber rapidly. Release the reset button. Then, the LED will glow amber steadily for about a minute. Then, it will flash amber, slowly, about once every second or two, waiting for you to configure it with AirPort Utility.

Printer connected to Airport will not work after update

I recently updated my airport express firmware to the 7.6.1. The printer was working just fine before I did this. It is connected to the airport base station via USB. The error message is " USB write error: Unable to send 1024 bytes of data"
As I said before everything was fine until I updated the firmware. Any suggestions? What can I do?

Suggest that you try the following:
Open System Preferences (gear icon on the dock)
Open Print & Scan
Click on the installed printer to highlight it
Click the -- (minus) button at the bottom of the list to delete the device
Close the Print and Scan box
Power down and restart your Mac
Make sure that the printer is plugged into the USB port and powered up
Open Sysem Preferences
Open Print & Scan
Click the + (plus) button at the bottom of the printer list area
Hopefully, your printer family will appear in the next window that opens
If yes, click the printer name to highlight it
Click Add
Try to print. Be sure to select the correct printer since it may also be installed on your Mac.
Power down and retart the printer if needed

Iphone 4 personal Hotspot not working after update to IOS 7.1 India BSNL cellular

Iphone 4 personal Hotspot not working after update to IOS 7.1 India BSNL cellular

BSNL is not a supported carrier. Personal Hotspot requires carrier support and provisioning of the account to enable it. iOS 7.1 disabled the ability to manually configure Personal Hotspot on unsupported carriers.

HT1688 My Hot Spot does not work after update to 6.0.1. Service is with ATT. Apple says problem is with ATT, ATT says problem is with Apple. Anyone else having this problem?

My Hot Spot does not work after update to 6.0.1. Any suggestions?

Ok, I had the same issue, my phone is unlocked(iphone 5 with 6.1.3). So I went to the apple store and had it replaced. it worked good for a day and started doing the same thing. When the apple tech replaced my phone, he transfered my screen protector to the new one.
so I thought it was my sim card, I put in my sisters sim card from a different carrier and it did the same, so then I was like let me take off the screen protector, and that was it.
so guys, if you have a screen protector on your phone and it's doing "low signal", "No Service", "Searching", "Full bars cycle" then take off the screen protector. so far my phone is working normal.

This sounds more like a hardware issue.
Have you checked that the dock connector port is not dirty?

3G is not working after updating to iOS 6.1

My 3G connection is not working after updating to iOS 6.1. I have tried all possible solutions like resetting the network, restarting the phone etc.
With this kind of bugs in every update, Apple will no more be THE Apple.
There are bugs which have not been fixed even in the subsequent updates. SMSs going blank being one of them.
Miss you Sir Jobs.....

I have since managed to sort mine out - when the phone was updated it wiped out the network settings.
I was able to reset them by manually putting the information in:
Settings - General - Cellular - Cellular Data Network and then I put in the correct details for APN, username and Password in the relevant sections and now it works OK.
Hopefully it will work for others too

Problem with new version 4.3.2 apps not working " after update to the new version "

Problem with new version 4.3.2 apps not working " after update to the new version "
i was in 4.3.1 then i do the update , but now after update i face this problem , so what i Supposed to do ?!!

Hi There
Had the same problem as you. App would terminate when launched.
Solution to working You Tube app:
-Go to playstore
- Uninstall app (it doesn't remove the app, only removes the update)
- "Et Voila", working again.
This doesn't correct the problem, it's just a workaround for you to be able to use youtube app again.
Hope it helped.
Best Regards

Anyone else's iPhone 4s speaker not working after update to iOS 6.1?

My speaker does not work after updating the software to iOS 6.1. No sound for incoming calls or texts, no speakerphone, no siri, no music or any sounds played from apps. Headphones still work as does anything plugged into the headphone jack. I've check all my settings - everything is correct. I've rebooted and restored settings several times, I've docked it - nothing works.
Anyone else having this problem? Did anyone have this problem and were able to fix it? Does anyone know if Apple is aware and will be sending another update to fix it? I really don't think it's a hardware problem. Phone is in immaculate condition and never dropped or spilled on.

As stated...
Sorry... But...
