Airport extreme icon not showing up in my devices

the whole thing was working just fine last week .i dont really want to restart it all from scrach .my wireless internet is working fine being routed through it but when i look in my hard drive and under devices i cant make the icon show up along with the external hard drives that i have connected to it.

I am having similar problems...My time capsule stopped receiving power for some reason, I was using it for wireless Internet as well. I removed it and went to hook up my Airport extreme....dsl modem is working fine, I plug the ether into the AE, plug in the AE so it has power, I get the flashing amber light. Open airport utilitiy and it cannot find the AE! My main problem is AIRPORT UTILITY IS NOT PICKING UP THE AIRPORT EXTREME. I have tried updating, resetting the AE..nothing is working....arrrgggg.

Airport Extreme will not show USB drive installed Solved!

Airport Extreme will not show USB drive installed Solved... At least for me!
Here's what I had to do to make it work with the newest 7.3.1 firmware.
Ready for this? No Joke Really!
1. Connect your USB drive to the Airport Extreme.
2. Turn it on.
3. Open the Airport Utility.
4. Go to Manual Setup.
5. Choose Disks and File Sharing.
Yep, we are going to set file sharing before we even see the disk we want to share!
You (I) had to set File Sharing on and Share Disks over Ethernet checked as well as set the Work Group (In my case). THEN restart the Airport Extreme.
After it re-started... My USB Drive was now present and ready for use.
I also dis-allowed Guest access. I re-started ALL computers in my network, both Windows and MAC. The USB drive held and works GREAT!
I know... Most of you thought this was a joke, It's not!
I tried everything to get the USB drive to work and failed every time just like most other people. Doing it this way worked like a charm.
Go Figure huh!
Hope this helps someone with this issue.

How was the usb hard drive formatted? Was it NTFS, FAT32, or HFS+?

Existing files on drive connected to latest Airport Extreme do not show up, however files copied over the air to the drive do. Any ideas?

I have the latest Airport Extreme with a Seagate drive connected. I copied files to the drive while it was connected to my MacBook Pro. The files do not show up when connected to the AE, but they appear when connected to the Macbook, Files copied over the network to the drive appear. The drive is formatted HFS+.

After playing with this for the last few days, I found a solution. Under the "Disks" tab in Airport Utility, the "Secure Shared Disks" drop down needs to be set to "With device password". Mine was set to "With acounts", which even after correct authentication, none of the files would appear.
Another interesting note: The files that I could see, the ones I copied over the network, do not appear now. I can copy over new files, and they show up, but the ones copied prior to changing the "Secure Shared Disks" option, do not.

Airport Extreme still not showing up in Airport Utility

So after my own router wasn't working, a family member passed their Airport Extreme down to me and cited Apple's extremely easy set-up. Plug in the power, plug in the ethernet cable, then we should be good to go.
The green light is on (not flashing) but when I create a new network, the IP shows up but it says that it cannot connect with the internet. Then I tried to see if it would be found using Airport Utility. It's been 15 minutes and it's still not found. Internet in the house is working just fine (using roommate's connection now) but I'd like to get this set up ASAP.
What are the problems here and how can they be solved?
If it helps any, I'm using last year's Macbook Pro model and the Airport Extreme gen 5.

If AirPort Utility looks like the following, click the button at the upper left - the one labeled "Other Wi-Fi Devices". Determine if it appears in a dropdown menu:

PC file sharing over Airport Extreme does not show up on Mac

I have two PCs and a new Macbook Pro with a new Airport Extreme (AE) base station. All 3 computers can access the Internet through the wireless AE. Hooray! But file sharing that is turned 'on' on the PCs does not show up on the Mac. For that matter, neither PC sees the other PC's shared files, either.
Now here's the really weird part... When I network through an Ethernet router/hub and don't use the AE, then all 3 computers see all the shared files and directories. I suppose I have something configured incorrectly on the AE network, but I haven't a clue what. Can you help?

What to do once you know them, assuming the first 3 numbers are the same for the PCs and Mac... from the Mac, use Go>Connect to Server, then type in smb://, then the actual IP of a PC... let us know the results.

AirPort Extreme does not show in list

I have tried rescan, reset etc but my new AirPort does not appear on the list in the AirPort utility and flashes amber. My 2 other base stations are fine. Is it faulty or am I doing something stupid?

derek61, Welcome to the discussion area!
Verify that you are using "AirPort Utility"... not the older "AirPort Admin Utility".
Try temporarily connecting to the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) with Ethernet. Configure the AEBS so that it is using a channel between 1 and 11.

Airport Extreme will not show IP address after new cable provider install

I got a call from Comcast that he is unable to get my Airport to give a Wifi signal after he installed their service and modem. Has been working fine with the Sprint 4G modem. I'm between Mac's, running a PC with Linux Ubuntu, so unsure how I can reset the modem, and set it's setting without OSX or Windows. Puzzled why it all of the sudden is giving issues. The tech states he can connect to the Comcast modem via Ethernet and get internet with no problem, just the Airport isn't broadcasting it's IP/Wifi.

I have the connections made correctly. The odd thing is it isn't feeding the ethernet ports on the router itself. I think the technician wiped my settings, and with Linux, no way to reconfigure without the Airport software, there is one software available, but I could never get it working.
I made an appointment at the Genius Bar to have it checked out.
In the mean time, I bought a Netgear N300, works flawlessly with Linux.
Wish the Airport was configurable by IP.

Airport Extreme doesn't show up in Airport Utility.

Just got a new Mac Mini and a new Airport Extreme.
When I tried to set up Airport Extreme today, ran into some problems.
1) Light is flashing amber
2) Airport Extreme does not show up in Airport Utility
3) I have DSL and ethernet cable is plugged into WAN port on Airport Extreme.
4) Both units are sitting side by side and yet there's no connection detected.
5) Airport Utility keeps telling me to rescan as it cannot detect any wireless devices.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

If you are trying to connect using wireless, make sure that you are connected to the default wireless network that the AirPort Extreme provides for setup purposes. The network that you are looking for will have a name like Apple Network xxxxxx. There is no security, so a password is not required. It usually also helps to restart both the computer and the AirPort Extreme.
You can also temporarily connect an ethernet cable from your computer to one of the LAN <-> ports on the AirPort Extreme. Restart both the computer and the AirPort Extreme when you do this.

The USB port on my 4th generation Airport Extreme does not recognize any peripheral devices whatsoever. In other words, it does not function at all. What can I do?

I have had my Airport Extreme for almost a year now. I have not been able to get it to work. It has never worked. I have tried everything in the apple manuals, my peripheral device manuals, and online help. My Airport Extreme Base Station has a completely dead USB port. The USB connector does have voltage and ground. Apparently there is no data transfer. I do not know how to test the data pinouts. I don't know if it is a software or driver problem, or if it is a hardware or wiring problem. My computer is a mid-2009 13" MacBook Pro. All of my external devices work well with the MacBook Pro. The USB functionality on the MacBook Pro has always performed without a glitch. It seems the problem with the Airport Extreme must either be a network communication problem or a hardware/hardwire problem. I bought the Airport Extreme to build a home inTRAnet network. I have a seperate 3rd party router for inTERnet. Contrary to what the manuals declare, the initial setup of my Airport Extreme requires inTERnet setup during the process. Even when the choice is made to limit the network access to LAN only, when I reach the end of the setup process, a prompts reads that the Airport Extreme may not function because I have not set it up for inTERnet with the WAN. Well, Dah... during the intial stages of the setup I told the machine to configure an inTRAnet only LAN setup. So... I went ahead and set it up for inTERnet and WAN. Either way, the USB port is not working. Then I set it up for the whole package, WAN, LAN, and everything. Still... no function out of the USB port. Any ideas?
P.S. The Ethernet works and so does the 802.11 tranceiver. The USB port is the only problem, but a major, major one for my needs. There is no peripheral functionality.

Okay so I figured it out. I inherited the Configurator already set up so I didn't realize that our former administrator was brilliant and set things up a little differently. To anyone else who finds themselves in this spot try this:
After you plug the iPad in and open Configurator instead of trying to 'Prepare' the device click 'Assign'
There should be groups of Users listed on the left hand side of the screen.
Select the group you want the ipad to be a part of, or make a new group. ***Note a group can be one person so this is a good feature for teachers to have individual app assignements for students.
After you select the user group click the little plus ( + ) button on the bottom of the screen under the second column of info where names and device serial numbers should appear.
Type the name of the person, group, whatever you want to identify that assignment by into the blank that pops up after you hit the plus ( + )
Then select the assignment you just made and tohe 'Check Our' button at the bottom. At this point a box will pop up with a window at the top listing all devices supervised by Configurator. There is a tiny down arrow button that opens a scroll down menu to the right of this box. Click that, then select the device connected by USB as the one to assign.
The name of the assignment you gave it will show on the lock screen now and you can assign apps and profiles to the device like you would any other device in your Configurator inventory.
Good Luck.

Set the Airport Extreme to not broadcast the SSID

Set the Airport Extreme to not broadcast the SSID

"Hiding" the SSID will do nothing to protect you from hackers.....and anyone else who wants to see your network, since there a numerous free utilities on the Internet that will reveal your network in seconds.
On the other hand, it might keep a few honest neighbors from seeing the name of your wireless network.
iOS devices often have trouble connecting to a "hidden" network, so you may need to display the network if your iPhone, iPad, etc have trouble connecting to the network.
Your call on this.
Assuming that you have Lion, Mountain Lion or Mavericks on your MacBook Pro.....
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click on the AirPort Extreme icon, then click Edit in the smaller window
Click the Wireless tab at the top of the next window
Click Wireless Options at the bottom of the window
Enter a check mark in the box next to Create Hidden Network
Click Save, then click Update and allow a full minute for the AirPort Extreme to restart

Connects to Airport extreme but not to internet

Whenever I close my laptop and reopen, I lose internet connection thru the airport extreme and I won't get it back. It seems that I will have connection to the Airport Extreme, but not the internet.
Sometimes what fixes it is turning the airport off and then on again (sometimes multiple times). Usually restarting the computer fixes it (but not always).
What happens is this (viewing Sysprefs/network/airport/network status and "internet connect"): the internet connect will report connecting...then will announce "connected", but show no "time elapsed" at the same time the Net status will read "airport is connected to ..network...with it's own IP address and may or may not be connected to the internet" And I won't be.
Then, when it starts working again (after the abovementioned turning off/on) it will start counting time elapsed, then in Net Status it will say "airport connected to ..network. you are connected to the internet via airport."
Also, whenever I use "internet connect" to turn the airport off, when I turn it back on again I will not have internet access, just the messages I list above. The "strenth meter" will say my signal is good (which it should be) and it says I am connected but doesn't show "elapsed time" nor will I have actual internet access.
Again, restarting the computer will usually work (less often, logging out then back in).
Another strange symptom-- When I hit the "disconnect" button under the airport section of "internet connect" it disconnects, then reconnects immediately. When I hit the disconnect button w/ in the Sysprefs/network/airport...etc, it does nothing but bring to the front window the "internet connect" window. So the only way to "disconnect" is to turn off the airport (which results in the above problem).
Side note--I am in the habit of turning off the airport (not the base, but from the computer) when I don't plan on using it for security-- am I being excessively paranoid? I do have my firewall in operation. Should I just leave it (being the airport) on all the time (in your humble opinion?
Sorry if this makes no sense or rambles, it is now 5:30 am and She Who Must Be Obeyed will be getting up in about an hour wanting to know if I fixed the computer yet. I'm tired.
Thank you in advance.

My airport extreme will not connect to the Internet

My airport extreme will not connect to my toshiba router. I connected it to my office internet this morning but when I hooked it up at home it simply will not connect. I have tried resetting all the settings and have had no luck. It did work once upon a time. I currently have my airport express hooked up so I know there is connectivity.

I could never figure it out after trying everything I could and going to the genius bar I ended up just purchasing another extreme. The really funny thing is that I can set up a network between the two and it works fine. I am using it at work now with out any problems so I guess there is really no loss :-?

Airport extreme can not be recognized?, Airport extreme can not be recognized?, Airport extreme can not be recognized?

My Airport Extreme Station (4th Generation) is all of a sudden not recogized by the Airport Utility Software. I rebooted the Airport Extreme device a few times, disconnected it completely, and did it set it back to the factory default setting. No recognition. I tried configurating it with all my devices; IPhone 4S, IPad, MacBookPro and new iMac. Always the same message, even though I have internet access through the Airport default Wifi-ID. So the the Airport device works properly. Just no access for configuration, Does anyone has an advice to get back into the Airport Set-up through the Airport Utility program? Thank you.

Hello loving-truth,
I understand that your Airport Extreme is not being recognized in AirPort Utility, however you are able to access the internet via the Wi-Fi signal. We can give the steps in the following article a shot:
AirPort base station not seen or "An unexpected error occurred" appears in AirPort Utility 6.3
