Airport Extreme and Express not working with Leopard

Both Exreme and Express appeared on Disk Utilty as "green" and worked with Tiger, after I installed new OS Leopard neither appears and cannot connect wirelessly.
What's up? TOM

Although the Upgrade path is touted as the "simplest" if may be the most troublesome if your Mac had a lot of third-party applications running on it prior to upgrading. Unfortunately, it's too early to offer much advise on what may have gone wrong with your AirPort connectivity. My guess, at this time, is that you may have some corrupted AirPort configuration files in your System folder.
Do you, by chance, have a clone backup of your previous disk? If so, it might be worth the trouble to return your Mac to its previous configuration, and then, try upgrading using the "Archive and Install" method. This will ensure a "clean" copy of Leopard, and just transition your user settings as appropriate. You may also want to post in the new Leopard Discussions area as well.

  • Airport Extreme and Express not working well together

    I recently got a new Airport Extreme, but still want to use my Airport Express'es to play music throughout my house via airtunes. The problem is that it seems that I can't see the Express anymore - they aren't showing up in the airport utility at all. (Using the recent updated Version 5.1 (510.18)). Anyone with any ideas?
    MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    Had the same issue. The AirPort Express is still looking for the old base station and it's network. (I'm assuming that you upgraded from an old base station). The way I remedied the situation was to do a hard rest on the AirPort Express and run the setup assistant included in the new AirPort software. When I just tries the setup assistant without resetting the AP Express I got nowhere.
    give it a try.

  • Airport extreme and express not acting as i would expect

    i have a virgin media super hub which won't transmit my wireless all around my house so i have set this to modem only mode and have connected it to a 4th gen extreme via a cable and connected 1 desktop pc to the extreme also via a cable.  All works perfectly and i get the full 60mb broadband that i pay for and all wireless devices also connected to the extreme achieve this speed. Unfo although better it still isn't enough to transmit through the whole house.
    To rectify this i have bought a new express and connected it all up which as expected was a doddle, the problem is that when i connect to the express i get a speed of between 2 and 12mb but never any more. When i spoke to the guy in store i was told that i would get the same speed from the express as i got at the extreme so is this not the case or have i got a setting wrong?

    1. EOP (Ethernet over Power) Sometimes called Homeplug. When you don't know stuff.. google it.

    They are readily available from any of the big computer stores.. in every brand under the sun. Including ones you have heard of and some probably not.. internally they are all about the same.
    2. The old roaming instructions are the last apple produced.

    Here is my take on it.. with lots of screenshots.
    Problems with Airport Extreme Ethernet roaming setup
    Here is a joint effort from users here.
    Setting Up Roaming - New AirPort Extremes and Utility
    Main things to notice.. This is simple. Follow the instruction in my thread above.. and it works.. but I find the airport utility might need a bit of a kick now and then to get the right setup.
    3. Make it easy on yourself. You are trying to do too many things at once.
    Reset the express.
    Plug it into the Extreme by a patch ethernet cable.
    Do the setup.. as per..
    Problems with Airport Extreme Ethernet roaming setup
    Once you complete the setup.. take the express upstairs and plug it into the EOP adapter.
    If it fails.. plug a computer by ethernet into the EOP adapter and see if you are connected.. you might be blaming the wrong thing.

  • HT3546 Does the Airport Extreme Base Station not work with the OS X Lion?

    Ever since updated to OSX Lion can't get our airport station to work.  Is it too old and won't work with this upgrade so do we need a newer airport?

    Suggest that you download and install AirPort Utility 5.6 for Mac OS X Lion which should work with your older AirPort Extreme.
    You can keep both AirPort Utility 6.1 and 5.6 on your Mac and use the one that you want or need at the time.

  • Airport extreme and express not connecting

    I just purchased a new airport extreme tower. Now my extreme no longer extends the network. I have replugged the express, pressed the reboot button and can see the device in Airport utility but when it tries to configure the express, I get an "Unexpected error--try again". Can anyone help?

    Do you have an iPhone or iPad to try the setup of the Express?
    If not, are you perhaps running Mavericks (10.9.x) on your Mac, as we see this error in Mavericks at times?

  • Does airport extreme 802.11a/c work with airport express 802.11n

    does airport extreme 802.11a/c work with airport express 802.11n

    "You can use the AirPort Express to extend the signal provided by the new AirPort, but the Express will not extend "ac" wireless since it does not have that capability. The Express will extend an "n" wireless signal if that helps."
    This is what I am trying to understand.
    So AXTRM w/ sep SSID for 2.4 (b/g/n) - call it SSID1 - and 5GHz (ac) call it SSID2 - WiFi Explorer confirms AC mode on 5G.
    Using an AXPRESS to extend - I have the option of SSID1 b/g/n *and* the 5GHz ac SSID2 in the pulldown (it sees both?) --> if I select SSID1, it also extends this same SSID in 5GHz (both showing b/g/n) >> so I now have 3 signals on SSID1 (XTRM 2.4G, XPRS 2.4G and XPRS 5G) b/g/n and one signal on SSID2 (XTRM 5G AC) ac
    If I select the 5Ghz ac SSID2 to extend - it prompts me "do you also want to extend (the 2.4GHz SSID1)?" --> select yes and I now have 2 signals for SSID (XTRM 2.4G & XPRS 2.4G) b/g/n and 2 signals on SSID2 (XTRM 5G 802.11ac & XPRS 5G 802.11 a//n)
    Is the 5G SSID2 actually being extended from the Airport Extreme to the Express?
    The reason I bring this up is I am having a lot of issues since iOS8 came out (especially on iPhone 6). Everything I am reading is pointing to when people have 2 AP's set to use the same SSID. When you walk to a part of the house where 5G 802.11 ac signal marginalizes, the phone does not immediately hand over to the 5G 802.11 a/n Airport Express.
    My thought was separate the SSID's but to me, if the Express can't extend 5Ghz from the Extreme, it's taking a step backwards. I am better off getting a more powerful router like an ASUS and going with one AP, drop the WiFi roaming altogether
    Any thoughts?

  • Airport extreme and express & apple TV

    I have an airport extreme and express & apple TV. I'd like to do the following:
    1) Extend the network via the express
    2) Enable the express to stream music to the stereo from the apple TV
    I am sure someone has figured this out but I can't find the answer...
    Thank you

    Firstly, the easiest bit (although I don't believe you need to do this):
    I would try "downgrading" the Extreme station's network type to only b/g (excluding n entirely), but I don't see that option in the radio settings anymore
    You will get additional settings if you hold down the option key while browsing the radio settings drop down menu.
    Moving on: Unfortunately a dropped connections seems to be a problem with umpteen causes and not only is it difficult to troubleshoot with someone in a forum it can also be made even more difficult because many problems are associated with network settings on a router that the person who is trying to help is unfamiliar with.
    However you seem to be convinced your problems arise when your express is running which may narrow things down a little if correct, if not it may actually lead us away from the answer to your issue.
    Is it the kind of security I'm running? Should I try WEP or... none at all?
    I use WPA and have no problems (password = 8 Characters)
    Should I attach it a different way? Perhaps manually set it to "participate in a WDS network" or "extend a wireless network?
    I have my expresses set to participate in a WDS network, but that's because I use them for other things other than itunes, I would have thought 'join a network' would be fine.
    You could check that all your devices are using independent IP addresses and all are using the same subnet. You could also check that no two devices have the same mac address, I've been told a million times this can't happen, but I've seen it. You may be wise to check these things before and after your devices have been 'kicked off the network", you may even want to write them down to see if any are changing.

  • FCP not working with Leopard

    Every time I try and launch FCP5 Studio 2 it gives me the "This application Final Cut Pro quit unexpectedly." Anyone have a solution to this? Anyone else experienced this?
    Do I just have to wait for an update?

    Having same problem with FCP v 6.0.1 and tried the FCP Rescue 6..... Also does not work with Leopard.
    I am just about to try this proceedure.
    Delete the User Preferences
    You can resolve many issues by restoring Final Cut Pro back to its original settings. This will not impact your project files, but you should verify your Scratch Disk location setting after doing this. To reset your Final Cut Pro user preference settings to their original state, do the following:
    In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Preferences—the tilde (~) represents your Home folder.
    Remove the “com.apple.finalcutpro.plist” file from the Preferences folder.
    Remove the “Final Cut Pro User Data” folder from the Preferences folder.
    Will report shortly.

  • I have an airport extreme and express, if I use the extreme as a base station connected to my old router can I use the express to extend the signal while also creating a new network that only I can use?

    I have an airport extreme and express, if I use the extreme as a base station connected to my old router can I use the express to extend the signal while also creating a new network that only I can use? Essentially having two wifi connection off the same network? If so how do I set this up?

    Extending using a wireless connection always results in a performance compromise.
    If the Express is going to extend using a wireless connection, then the Express will need to be located about half way between the AirPort Extreme and the general area where you need more wireless coverage. The more that you have line-of-sight between the Extreme and Express, the better the network will operate.
    Remember......the Express can only "extend" the quality and signal speed that it receives, so it needs to be located where it can get a very good signal from the Extreme. Although Apple cleverly uses the term "extend", a more accurate term for the Express would be "repeater".
    If the Express will extend by connecting to the Extreme using a permanent, wired Ethernet cable connection......highly recommended for best performance.....then the Express can be located exactly where you need more wireless coverage. There is no signal loss at all through the Ethernet cable, so the Express gets a full speed signal no matter where it might be located.
    Post back to let us know which way to you want to go.

  • Iphone and ipad not working with USB3?

    for some 3 months now, when I connect my iphone or ipad to the pc nothing happens.
    I tried to look it up in the device manager and it said: Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is an older USB device and might not work with USB3.0
    Plug the device into an available USB2.0 port and click next. Otherwise, click cancel.
    Anyone had the same problem? Any solution that doesn't require being a computer engineer?
    Thanks

    nothing else connected,
    I used to simply plug the iphone or ipad and a folder will open giving me choices of what to do (open the device, copy pictures...) nothing happens anymore on both ipad iphone, I can't access them to copy the pictures, videos...

  • Will the airport devices and time capsule work with telstras mobile hotspot (Sierra Wireless AirCard 753S Mobile Hotspot)??

    will the airport devices and time capsule work with telstras mobile hotspot (Sierra Wireless AirCard® 753S Mobile Hotspot)??

    Yes. There are 2 ways you could use these devices:
    Wirelessly 'join' the network. This would be slower and doesn't offer extending functionality.
    Use an Ethernet cable (through Powerline if you can't run a cable). This is faster and offers extending functionality. I would recommend using Bridge Mode if possible.
