Airport express works when accesed from my Imac but fails from my MacBook

When I stream music to the AE from the Imac I can hear crystal clear sound, but when I stream music from my laptop (Black Macbook) sound is intermittent and impossible to use, no matter how close I am from the Airport Express..
Any suggestions ?
Cheers !

Airport Express, can't stream from my macbook but it works from other devic

I connected airport express to my hifi.
Want to stream my music wireless to the stereo.
It works fine with my iphone and ipad but it doesn't with my macbook.
I see the station after clicking the symbol in itunes but after a short while of searching it stopps without connection.
What do I need to do. Some setup on my macbook?

Also, the new AirPort Utility can't see the Airport Express either, and the option for multiple speakers has vanished from the bottom right corner in iTunes.

Printer connected to airport express...shows up on iMac but doesn't on my ipad 2. What am I missing, please?

AirPort express work as a wi-fi router, but can't select external speakers in ITunes to stream music

I set up my AirPort Express as a wireless router and it works great. It is plugged in to an external set of speakers, but I cannot select them in ITunes and stream music. The speaker selection box that is supposed to be in the bottom right corner is not there.

Having the same issue. Updated iTunes software yesterday and now the speaker selction box has dissappeared. I've been streaming music to my stereo for years using this method. Have tried accessing it from the remote app and the speaker selection option is gone from there too.

Airport express works for iphone, wofe's macpro, but no longer for my macpro., airport express works for iphone, wofe's macpro, but no longer for my macpro.

I have a MACPRO, LION (10.7.2).
It used to work with an airport express.
My iphone works with the express, my wfie's macpro works with it, but mine seems to have quit
recognizing it as something with which to play music, so the option to select airport express
in itunes no longer is there.

I'd first try cycling power on the AirPort Express. If that doesn't help, it might help to reset the connection settings on your Mac using these steps one at a time until the problem is resolved, recognizing that, depending on your problem, not all of these steps will make sense:
1) Use the AirPort/Wi-Fi menu bar item to turn AirPort/Wi-Fi off, then on again.
2) Try to select your Wi-Fi network from the AirPort/Wi-Fi menu.
3) In the Network panel of System Preferences delete the AirPort/Wi-Fi item from the left column, then add it back.
4) In the same panel as (3), define a new location and see if you can make that work.
5) In the same panel, select the AirPort/Wi-Fi connection item, click the "Advanced" button, select the "TCP/IP" tab, then click "Renew DHCP Lease". Note that the fix this step implements may be temporary.
6) In the folder /Library/Preferences ( _not_ <yourhomefolder>/Library/Preferences), move the folder SystemConfiguration onto the Desktop, then restart your computer. See if you can now make your AirPort connection work.
These steps may not help, but they'll only take a couple of minutes to try. Before you try these, if you have any special network settings on your Mac for things like DSL credentials, note all your network settings, because the latter steps will destroy them. If you got all the way to the last step, if things don't work any worse than before, you can trash the saved SystemConfiguration folder.

Airport Express works, but MacBook doesn't when connected directly to Modem

I have an interesting problem. I have Verizon DSL. Airport Express works, but Linksys and Netgear wifi routers don't work. Further more, if I disconnect the wifi router and directly connect a MacBook or a Windows notebook they don't work. These devices work if I enter a static IP address though. It is DHCP that doesn't work.
I have been using Verizon DSL for several years, and most recently I was using a Netgear wifi router. A few days ago it lost internet connection. Thinking that the Netgear broke, I bought a new Linksys WRT54GL to replace it. But it didn't work either. I happened to have an Airport Express lying around, so I connected that and surprisingly it worked! Then I wrote down the IP address shown by Airport Utility and typed that IP into Netgear as a static IP address and it worked too. If I remove all wifi equipment and connect a Windows PC or a MacBook directly to the DSL modem then neither works. (Note: my DSL modem doesn't use PPPoE it uses DHCP.)
So it seems that something changed with Verizon's DHCP such that only Airport Express can work. Contacting Verizon support was useless. What is so magical about Airport Express? I can't use Airport Express permanently because I have 3 wired computers to connect also, and Airport Express have ethernet ports. Airport Extreme does, so I am wondering if I should get one of those. Will the magic of Airport Express work in Extreme also?
Does anyone know what is going on? How is Airport Express work with Verizon DHCP when nothing else can?

Hello petilon. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Does anyone know what is going on? How is Airport Express work with Verizon DHCP when nothing else can?
It sounds like Verizon is keying on the MAC address of the device connected to its modem ... so either they require that you register a MAC address with them or there is a problem with the modem in that it is retaining it even though you change the device connected.
If you haven't already, be sure to perform a complete power recycle when changing out network equipment. The following should be done each time:
o Power-down, the modem, router, and computer(s); wait at least 10-15 minutes. Order is not critical. If the modem has a backup battery, it should be removed and replaced to make sure that any stored configuration information is erased.
o Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes.
o Power-up the router; wait at least 5-10 minutes.
o Power-up the computer(s).

Reboot the modem. Just pull the power for a few seconds. No settings are lost. The laptop getting through to the internet is not relevent.

This can sometimes be the result of a faulty/damaaged USB sync cable. Do you have another cable you could test it out with?

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.

Yes, check out Rogue Amoeba's AirFoil.

Airport Extreme: Internet working when directly from modem to computer, but not when using airport extreme. i have hit the reset pin and now do not know what to do.

Using Airport Extreme:
- Internet working when directly from modem to computer
- Internet NOT working when modem is connected to AE
- Internet NOT working when modem is connected to AE and AE is connected to computer
- I have hit the reset pin
Now what do I do?
(in advance - lots of love to anyone who helps out)

What sort of Internet connection do you have and who is your Internet Service Provider?
What is the make and model number of your modem?

Airport Express Works Everywhere Except One Place

I have several rooms in my house with their own stereos, and my new Airport Express works on all of them. However, I have one stereo outside, in the garage and the Airport Express does not work out there. I assume that the wireless signal doesn't reach there. Is there a way to boost the wireless signal? The garage stereo is probably about 50 feet from the wireless modem, which is in the basement of my house. This is probably a dumb question, but I don't know anything!

Soonerfunk, Welcome to the discussion area!
If the wireless signal were created by an AirPort Express (AX), an AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS), or a Time Capsule it would be possible. However it is not possible when the wireless network is created by a wireless modem.

Very basic questions about how Airport Express works

I'm using a non-Apple wireless router at home. I'd like to stream music from my iBook to my stereo. Will an Airport Express do that? Will it get confused that there's another access point? Can my iBook receive streaming radio via the non-Apple wireless router and send it to Airport Express?
Alternatively: can I simply replace my non-Aple wireless router with an Airport Express? Will an Airport Express work as a wireless router? Will it to DHCP and NAT so that multiple computers can connect to the Internet through it?
Thanks.

johnbkim, Welcome to the discussion area!

Yes
Will it get confused that there's another access point?
You would simply configure the AirPort Express (AX) to join your current wireless network.
Can my iBook receive streaming radio via the non-Apple wireless router and send it to Airport Express?
To stream non-iTunes items you will need to use Airfoil.
Alternatively: can I simply replace my non-Aple wireless router with an Airport Express?
Yes as long as you don't have any devices connected to that router via Ethernet.
Will it to DHCP and NAT so that multiple computers can connect to the Internet through it?
Yes it is a router.

Does The Airport Express Work with Any Router?

Hi Forum,
i have an old Linksys router G Wifi speeds, does the Airport Express work with this?

The AirPort Express or other Apple routers will not wirelessly extend the signal from your Linksys router, if that is what you are asking here.
If yes, use another Linksys product to insure compatibility between devices.

Does airport express work with PC

Does airport express work with a dell laptop?
Can one setup an airport express for the very first time using a dell laptop?

Yes on both. FWIW, I currently have a Dell laptop that has no issues connecting to my AirPort network. I also have AirPort Utility for Windows installed on this laptop when I need to administer the base station. In my case the laptop is running Windows 7.

Will Airport Express work for this?

Hi. I've got multiple Macs, but only my 2 laptops are wireless. I've currently got an Airport Express hooked up to my router which supplies the laptops with their connection. I would like to stream my iTunes - which resides on an external drive connected to my 17" FP iMac - to my stereo system in a different room.
Now...if I pick up another Airport Express, will the fact that the iMac that the iTunes is set up is not wireless and instead basically physically connected to the main Epress cause a problem with it being recognised? I can see that one in Airport Utilitiy as it stands now. Or would I also have to get an Airport card for the iMac for it to see the second Express? I don't feel like paying $100 to find out that it won't work or this setup and all I've really done is extend the range of my network, which is not a problem.

No it will not cause a problem.
