Hello bryon Jimenez. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Most likely your AirPort Express Base Station (AX) came with the older version (4.x) of the AirPort Utilities on the provided CD. However, your new MacBook should already have the new AirPort Utility installed in the \Applications\Utilities folder. Just use this version instead to set up your AX.

  • 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.

  • Airport Express wont connect

    Brand new out of the box and plugged in. Amber light just keeps flashing and is not reconized by my desktop or my laptop. Software was installed on both and I have a Extreme base station. HELP

    Try temporarily connecting your computer to the AirPort Express (AX) via Ethernet.
    Then configure the AX using the directions in KB 302153, AirPort Express: How to join an existing wireless network in client mode.

  • Airport Express wont setup to two different networks

    AirPort Utility was unable to find your AirPort wireless device after restarting. I have tried to setup two different Airport Expresses with two different home networks with the same result.  It simply wont restart to join the network.  I have setup others with luck but these two and not restarting.  This router is Netgear, but the other netwrok was Airport Extreme.

    I won't try to help you with that Netgear router, but are both the AirPort Express and the AirPort Extreme 802.11n-capable?  Is the AirPort Extreme configured to "Allow this network to be extended"?  How did you try to configure the AirPort Express?

  • 2nd Airport Express wont show up in  Base Station Chooser, iTunes

    Hi, I have 2 Airport Express units on the same network. One is showing up, the other is not. Both were working perfectly. I recently upgraded my router to a Linksys BEFSR41. When I run the Base Station Chooser, one shows up the other does not. The same happens in iTunes. I can address the Airport Express by chooser Other from Base Station Chooser, then entering its IP address. I updated firmware in both units to 6.3. Both units are configured identically. If I access the hidden airport express from a wireless PC it shows up fine but the other one does not

    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.

  • Airport Express wont reset

    Was using airport express to play itunes remotely. It stopped working a week ago and I have tried both regular and hard reset.
    But configuring again the admin utility asks me for the password for the base station- which I don't have and then comes up with the following error. Bad param Error (-4).
    Help

    Have you tried factory reset? Unplug the apx, push the pin in the reset button hole, keep it pushed while plugging the apx back in the socket and wait for a few blinks. Release.

  • Airport express wont connect anything but my macbook pro

    Hello!
    I've searched but cannot find an answer to this question so here goes:
    Today I purchased an AirPort Express and was able to configure my MacBook Pro to connect to it problem free.  I've created the network using airport utility but none of the other devices in my household can connect to the network: iPhone 4s, iPhone 5, AppleTV, & iPad Mini.  They all discover the device but none will connect.
    Help me please!!!!
    Thanks!!!!

    Very simple solution: I was in Bridge Mode and switched it over to DHCP and NAT.  Boom....problem solved.

  • Airport express wont hold

    Airport express won't hold the change to extend a network. I have restarted many times and still flashes amber.
    Please assist. thanks

    Try connecting your airport express directly to your computer through ethernet. Plug it in and wait a minute or so for it to boot. The airport utility should discover it. There could be something in your router that is blocking access to the airport express. Connecting it directly to your computer should obviate this. To set it up, select your router's wireless SSID, enter the password for the SSID, then select extend a wireless network. It should reboot and give you a green light. Then you can unplug the ethernet cable and put it whever you like. It does take a minute or so to restablish a green light when you plug it back in. 

  • Airport express wont play through all 5 speakers in my system

    I currently have an aiprport express an its completely updated and everything but when i try to stream using airplay from my computer it will cut out on 2 of my 5 speakers. Any ideas?

    If you are missing a channel when you plug in the headphones, there is either an internal problem with the jack itself, or some other internal issue on the AirPort Express.
    Try a factory default reset if you have not tried that before.
    Power down the Express at least 15-20 minutes
    Hold in the reset button
    Continue holding the reset button while you plug the Express back in to power
    Keep holding the reset button until you see the amber light being to blink more quickly and then release the reset button
    Try the configuration again. If no luck after a few tries, I'm afraid that the evidence points to a defective AirPort Express that will need to be replaced.
    If it's out of warranty and you are handy with tools and electronic repairs, it might be worth a try to carefully saw the case open along the center seam on all sides and then look for a loose or broken internal connection. It's a real long shot.

  • Airport Express wont connect with iTunes Win XP

    I have had two airport express devices to stream music from my XP machine through iTunes to two rooms in my house. My wireless network was unsecured so I wanted to secure it and then reconfigure all my devices. When I went to reconfigure the airport devices, I reset them, connected an internet cable to them, went through the Airport Utility routine, entered the right network name and password keys, and got the big green check mark at the end. The light on the Airport turned green, I unplugged the internet cable, it stayed green. Opened iTunes and saw my new device in the itunes window. But when I clicked on it, iTunes couldnt stream any music to it and finally gave up. Opening up airport utility it says it cant find any devices on the network even thought the light is green.
    Any help please. I have spent all day trying to figure out what the deal is. I have been a user for multiple years and now cant even configure back to an unsecured network as before. I do run Msft Live One Care but the firewall doesnt seem to matter.
    Thanks,

    It seems the issue is with the ActionTec PK5000 modem/router. ActionTec confirms an issue with the units ability to stream music/media via wireless. No answer as to when this will be fixed.

  • Airport express wont connect to internet

    i cant get my airport express to connect to the internet

    I would recommend that you do the following as a minimum:
    Power-down the modem, AirPort base station, and computer(s).
    Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes to allow it adequate time to initialize.
    Power-up the AirPort base station; wait at least 5-10 minutes. Note: The AirPort's status light may continue to flash amber after it has intialized. That is because, there may be some additional configuration items necessary, like setting up wireless security, before the overall setup is completed to get a green status.
    Power-up your computer(s).
    If the above steps do not solve the problem, start over with step 1 above, but then perform the next steps between steps 1 & 2. above.
    Disconnect the AirPort base station from the Internet broadband modem.
    While all of the devices are powered-down, perform a "factory default" reset on the base station. This will get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration and make setting it up much easier, especially if you use the "Assist me" process within the AirPort Utility. (ref: Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule)
    After the base station resets, go ahead and power it back down.
    Reconnect the AirPort base station to the Internet broadband modem. For the Extreme and Time Capsule, be sure to connect the cable to the base station's WAN (circle-of-dots) port.
    Continue with step 2 in the first set of steps.
    In this basic configuration, the AirPort base station will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a Network Name (SSID) of Apple Network NNNNNN. Network clients, connected to the base station either by wire or wireless, should now be able to access the Internet through the ISP's modem. Once Internet connectivity has been verified, you can use the AirPort Utility to configure the base station for wireless security and any other desired options. Please post back your results.

  • Airport Express Is Installed But Cannot connect to the Internet

    I thought I connected it o.k. and it gavde me a strong signal icon and recognized my server address on my computer but I notice that the Airporter is blinking an amber light now (haven't moved it since it was initialized) and it also won't let me wirelessly connect to the internet which is why I purchased it. What gives and how can I correct it. I am a brand new Mac user.
    Thanks!
    Ruth

    A flashing amber light indicates that the AirPort Express (AX) is not connected to either a network or the Internet.
    How is your AX connected physically?
    Is it: DSL/Cable modem > (Ethernet cable) > AX > (wireless) > Mac?
    Did you run the AirPort Setup Assistant?

  • Final Cut express wont instal on mac book pro

    I bought a Mac book pro last night and today I attempted loading the FCE 2.0 and then using the upgrade version FCE HD4 and It told me my HD 4 version had an invalid serial number (it works fine on my imac 24 in) And so I figured I would just look at the FCE 2.0 and open it up. It wont open and it gives me a error message RGP ERROR. You do not have a graphics card or sufficient software to run this program....
    Have no clue Tried rebooting.. I will call apple in the AM. I told the guys at the store that I was using FCE 2.0 and no one said that It wouldn't work...
    Any similar issues with anyone else?
    Thanks
    TIM

    There is no need to install FCE2.
    Just install the FCE4 upgrade as it is actually a Full Retail version with one tiny difference ....... you will have to input both the old and the new serial numbers.
    Make sure you get the numbers exactly right or they won't work.
    Before reinstalling you should remove every trace of the existing installations by deleting the files listed here:-

  • CCP Express wont install on 2821 router

    Hello everyone,
    I am trying to install Cisco Configuration Professional 2.4 Express on my 2821 router. During the installation process, I get notified there is 0 bytes available of routers flash memory. When I run a "show flash:" command, I receive the following error:
    %Error show flash: (No device available)
    The output of the "show version" (edited) command is:

    After some reading on Cisco site, I saw that 2800 routers do not support internal flash, but only CF cards. What I would like to know is how can I install CCP Express on CF card?
    Thank you in advance.
