Airport Express Utility Shows Up Every time computer is turned on

Recently every time I turn my macbook on the airport utility shows up. It never used to do this and I tried changing the preferences but it doesn't work. Is there anyway to make this stop coming up every time I power on the computer.
Thanks.

There are two possible reasons it would open whenever you log in:
1. You have it set as a login item.
2. One of your base stations is reporting an error.
I think it's the latter. Do any of your base stations have a flashing amber light instead of a solid green one?

  • Airport Express not showing up in my Airport Utility

    So my network is based on an Airport Extreme, which I just bought. The network works fine. I've had an Airport Express until now, which I want to use to play music off of my Bose system. I've done a hard reset to reset all of the settings so that I could set it up as an extension of my new network. However, when I go into the Airport utility, only my Extreme shows up. I've reset the Express over 5 times, but it doesn't seem to want to pick up. Any ideas on what I should do?
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    First my apologies, I'm not so good at English.
    I've the same problem. I've discovered the problem shows up every time I close the Macbook Pro (goes in sleep-mode).
    Network configuration :
    Airport Extreme with 2 airdisks, Aiport Express, iMac intel, Macbook Pro, Mac mini intel, separated wired router. The 2 airdisks are used in 'bridged' mode.
    All the network devices are configured manually (manual IP address, not DHCP)
    Every time i close the upper case of my Macbook Pro, the Airport Express disappears, I can't see him in the Airport config. program, and the airtunes doesn't work anymore.
    But an IP ping is ok, there is no packet loss, so he is still active in the network.
    The only way to get it back at work is resetting the Airport express or pull it out of the wall-outlet and back in, AND rebooting my Macbook Pro.
    So this is very strange, isn't it?
    A few months ago there was a simular bug : closing the Macbook Pro causes some problems with the airdisks, they disappear also from the network. This problem is solved now.

  • Airport express keeps loosing connection to Time Capsule

    For several years I have had no issue with mt Airport Express staying connected to my Time Capsule/router. Now 2 of my Airport Expresses keep loosing the connection and flashing yellow. I have done the resets where I press in the little button on the bottom while plugging the AE back into the power source and reconnecting through Airport Utility and that will do the trick but after a short time the flashing yellow lights will go back on.
    Would it help to turn off the router, rest all the AEs? It is so frustrating to keep loosing the connection and nothing else has changed; e.g. the AEs are all in the same place. 

    Same thing here! I didnt have the problem with airport express until I update the os from 10.6.2 to 10.6.6. I have been calling the apple support and they couldnt help (or thou sounded like they knew for that particular problem). I got from my work MacBookPro and same thing happen. I hope that apple will read this and just want to tell them that this is my 10 computer made by apple and God knows the last one! First of all they made the the fireware with the bad chipsets so I have to but extra cards and then airport. I cant connect at all to any wifi and have to put the cables on the floor from the wifi router to the ethernet input which is more than 10 metres. Apple sort this asap!!!!!!!!!!

  • Airport Express not showing up as a selectable network

    I have a new airport express and airport extreme base station (latest firmware installed). I've set up my base station in my home, which is working fine. When I plugged in my airport express, the default name showed up in my available networks on my iPhone. But once I configured it to extend my base station range, it doesn't show up. If I restore the airport express to factory defaults, it shows up again in my iPhone. I can't seem to get the "set up" airport express to show up as available. Any suggestions?

    i assume your airport extreme base station (AEBS) is you main router and you want the airport express (AX) join the network provided by the AEBS.
    you could try this:
    unplug and re-plug the airport express (AX), then click on the airport icon in your menu bar. you should see something like "Apple network bj1234567" or similar (it may take a little while for it to show up). in order to set up the express, you will have to temporarily join its network ! you will get a message asking +do you really want to switch networks ?+ and you do want to do that.
    launch airport utility (AU). you should see the AX on the left. click on the icon of the AX once to highlight it and click continue. follow onscreen instructions and, when prompted, choose to +join an existing network+ and enter the required information for your network.
    any help ?

  • Airport Express stopped showing up on the wireless network

    Airport Express stopped showing up on the wireless network, and now I can't stream music from my iMac or iPhone through the AE as I used to. I now have a new adsl modem, but it doesn't help. The AE has a wireless connection to the modem. I've used Airport Utility to setup the AE again, no help. I also updated to Maverick but it didn't help. Any ideas?

    By "I can't reset it" do you mean you tried both the "hard" and "factory default" resets on your AirPort Express Base Station (AX) and still were not able to see it from iTunes? ...and if so, were you able to connect to it directly, using an Ethernet cable, to configure it using the AirPort Admin Utility?

  • Airport Express not showing name given

    Hello Community,
    I have the latest Airport Extreme and Airport Express. I am also using the latest Airport Utility, 6.0.
    I am using the Airport Express to extend my network. However, under my Wi-Fi icon (upper right icon), I can not see the name given to my Airport Express. Therefore I can not manually select it. I can see it's name in iTunes, if I want to remotely play music and under "Network>Advanced" I can see it has the "same" name as my Extreme, but with an "AE" after the Extreme's name. Im sure that means Airport Express. Also, of course I can see the AE and the name given to it using Airport Utility.
    Question, why is the name given to the Airport Express not showing up under my Wi-Fi ? I could have sworn when I first configured it, it showed up under the Wi-Fi drop down menu under "Other Devices", I believe it read.
    I am running Lion, 10.7.3
    Any help please ? Thank you in advance !

    By the way, I set up the Airport Express wirelessly. Should I have connected it with an Ethernet to my Extreme to set the Express as an Extended network device ? Thanks !

  • Airport disk utility can't read time capsule after a relocation

    airport disk utility can't read time capsule after a relocation. Wether I connect ethernet or wifi, airport doesn't read it. Even after reset.

    Do a full factory reset.. and you will need to reconfigure it.. that is the usual process when you move networks.
    You can do a fully manual setup though. The new v6 utility is just lousy at locating the TC.. if you still have a computer.. even a PC running windows it will do fine on v5 as long as the TC is not the latest model..
    Or use iOS version airport utility.. it also seems to have less issues than the mac version.

  • Airport express wont show up in utilities wireless or wired

    some times my airport express wont show up in airport utilities on both mine and my wifes macbooks but my i pads and phones keep connection to internet but the books wont. i run ethernet cable to the macbook and sometime it reads the express and some times it wont not quite sure whats wrong.

    Thank you for your post, but I do not understand why you are giving me a link to the generic airport express site. The configuration I have was working fine before I upgraded my router.

  • I had the problem of the Apple Sync Notifer.exe showing up every time I signed in.  I finally found it and deleted it and it is in my recycle bin but I am a bit nervous about totally deleting it.   Does anyone know if it is ok to completely delete??

    I had a problem with the Apple Sync Notifer.exe showing up every time I signed in.  I finally found a location and
    deleted it and it went into my recycle bin.  I was going to clean out the recycle bin and it asked if I really wanted to

  • Lion 10.7.2 On both mac book pro and iMac, both with Lion 10.7.2, obtain repeated iCal event notifications from calendar or address book.  Cannot turn these off.  They repeat several times per session and every time computer is used.  How to diagnose this

    Lion 10.7.2 On both mac book pro and iMac, both with Lion 10.7.2, obtain repeated iCal event notifications from calendar or address book.  Cannot turn these off.  They repeat several times per session and every time computer is used.  How to diagnose this?

    First, uninstall "SuperTV" (whatever that is) according to the developer's instructions. It isn't working and it's filling the log with noise.
    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
    Launch the Console application.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
    Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time when you had the problem. Post the messages logged before the boot, while the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract.
    Post the log text, please, not a screenshot. If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message. When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    PLEASE DO NOT INDISCRIMINATELY DUMP THOUSANDS OF LINES FROM THE LOG INTO A MESSAGE. If you do that, I will not respond.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.
    Step 2
    Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

  • HT4587 I downloaded Airport Express Utility 5.6 to get my Airport Express to work with the latest Mac OSX 10.7.4, but when I install and run it, it still says my Airport Express is out-of-date and needs the 5.6 utility.

    I downloaded and installed Airport Express Utility 5.6 to get my old Airport Express to work with the latest Mac OSX 10.7.4, but when I install and run it, it still says my Airport Express is out-of-date and needs the 5.6 utility. What's up?

    It is likely that you downloaded AirPort Utility 5.6.1.  If you checked the requirements, this only runs on Leopard or Snow Leopard Macs.
    You have Lion, so you need AirPort Utility 5.6 for Mac OS X Lion

  • RAID 1 disks resync every time computer is starting

    Hi All,
    My PC is running windows 8.1 ( i3 intel processor,
    4GB RAM ).    
    I have got on this machine two RAID 1 mirrored volumes,
    one for Operating System (boot volume) and a second one for data.
    Mirroring is software controlled  and it has been made using native win8 disk management tools.
    Both mirrored volumes resync quite every time computer is starting.
    Even if I have just finished to resync mirrors and resynching
    completed well (100 %), next time I boot my PC resynch starts again, often but not always on both couples of disks.
    Resynching  lasts several hours and it is not possible to have it running every day on a home PC, which is used for not more than one-two hours a day.
    My PC is very slow and also I often see a black screen for several seconds at boot and at every change of account.
    Is it normal to have Resynching running quite every day on windows 8 system ?
    May it be Resynching the reason for black screen I often experiment at boot?
    Thanks for your help

    Hi Andy, All
    As soon as I
    completed a new
    resynching, I tried to shutdown (by software) and restart the machine a couple of minutes later,
    without switching off the power supply.  The result was that both mirrors were resynching another time.
    Even if I was precise to wait for complete shutdown to restart the PC, I have found in the event log the following
    error:
    Origine:       Microsoft-Windows-Kernel-Power
    Category: (63)    
    Level:       Critical
    Description:
    Riavvio del sistema senza un regolare arresto. Questo errore può essere causato da un'interruzione, un arresto anomalo o un'interruzione dell'alimentazione imprevista del
    sistema.
    (Translation:
    Reboot without regular stop. This error may be caused by anomalous power interruption …)
    I have found tens of events like this in the last monthes.
    I have also found the following error in the eventlog:
    Origin:       Microsoft-Windows-Kernel-Boot
    Category: None             
    Level:       Error
    Description:
    Avvio rapido di Windows non riuscito con stato di errore 0xC00000D4
    (Fast boot not successful with error 0xC00000D4 ).
    This error also occurred multiple times.
    Thanks again for your help

  • White keyboard needs to toggle power every time computer is started

    I need to toggle power every time computer is started. OSX doesn't 'see' the keyboard when restarting or starting.
    ALSO
    When running XP in bootcamp, I can get XP to 'see' the keyboard, but I can't get it to work at all.
    Please help.

    Hello tak:
    I am assuming your Bluetooth module is built-in.
    There is no software setting to address what you describe. The KB may have a problem. However...
    Instead of switching the device on and off, try tapping a key or two.
    Try installing new batteries and/or removing and reinstalling them.
    I do not run Windows (and never plan to do so) so I have no feedback on the XP issue.

  • HT4145 I want to add airport express.  I now have time capsule and I am confuse.  Do I setup the express and then time capsule to the express?

    I want to add airport express.  I now have time capsule and I am confuse.  Do I setup the express and then time capsule to the express?

    Setup the Express to wirelessly extend the Time Capsule, or vice versa depending on which one is already set up. Or you could use bridge mode which involves using an Ethernet cable or Powerline plugs.

  • HT5022 Is it true that Airport Express Utility 5.6 is not compatible with OS 10.8.2, even though the Airport Express Utility 6.2 that I have is said to be incompatible with my Express?

    I've been having a problem with needing to reset my older Airport Express once or twice a week, and I thought that I'd check my settlings and possibly get any updates available.  I'm told when I try to use my current version of Airport Express Utility (6.2) that I need to unstall the older Airport Expess Utility 5.6.  But when I tried to install Utility 5.6, I was told that it was not compatible with my operating system.  Is it possible that under 10.8.2, I no longer have an usable Airport Utility program available?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    Although OS X Mountain Lion comes with AirPort Utility 6, AirPort Utility 5.6 is perfectly compatible. Follow these steps:
    1. Download AirPort Utility 5.6 > http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482 if you have downloaded it yet, ignore this step.
    2. Open Terminal and type:
    cd ~/Downloads && pkgutil --expand ./AirPortUtility56.pkg ~/Downloads/AirPortUtility56 && gunzip -c<./AirPortUtility56/AirPortUtility56Lion.pkg/Payload | sudo tar -C / -xvf - "./Applications/Utilities/AirPort Utility 5.6.app"
    3. Open Finder, go to Utilities folder and open “AirPort Utility 5.6” to set up the AirPort Express
