Airport utility 6.3.2 not showing airport express

Hello
Ive just updated to OSX Mavricks on MBP 13" (early 2011) and i noticed a problem. in Airport Utility 6.3.2 it is not showing my Airport Express
on my ipad i can see and access my AE but not on my mackbook. the internet works but normally where there is the AE is just a spinning wheel.
Ive tried everything i can think of and googled and searched the forum here. i cant even find the version it say i have to reinstall the app to see if maybe
that works. ive repaired permissions etc.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Jay C

Hi,
exactly the same with me. On MacBook Pro AU (version 6.3.2) is unable to find the AirPort Extreme (firmware 7.6.4). My iPhone 4S, however, shows the base station as expected. Googled, reset, unplugged, I tried everything I could but without any luck... The strangest thing is that it was working fine for a while, but not anymore. WiFi connection works seamleaslly. I'm indeed a bit dissatisfied.
Should anyone point us to a direction, I would pay a beer for him/her

HT4259 Airport Utility 6.1 does note show "extend wireless network" option. How do I find the feature

I have an airport extreme and the utility is 6.1. I also have an airport express. I'd like to use the airport express to extend the WiFi. The "extend the wireless network" option does not show up in the Airport Utility 6.1. How do I go about finding that option? Is it something that doesn't need to be checked in Airport Utility 6.1?

I'm having the same issuse, the only work around I have found is by using an older version of airport utility

Windows forms application not showing in express 2012 windows 8.

I downloaded Visual Studio Express 2012 for windows 8. I am trying something in Visual Basic and need to select Windows Forms Application. Visual Basic and Windows Store are available on the left side of the window.
Windows Forms Application Template is not in the New Project dialog box. How is this? What can be done?

You downloaded the wrong edition if you want the Windows Forms template.
VSE 2012 for Win 8 supports Windows Store app development.
You want the VSE 2012 for Windows
Desktop edition.
Better still, you could get the new, free, Visual studio 2013 Community Edition, which supports Windows Desktop, Windows Store, and web application development:

Can't Get new Airport Express 802.11g to stop blinking on initial setup

Hoping someone here might be able to give me some guidance on this.
A few weeks ago I purchashed an Airport Express with Airtunes g (new, but marked down) - I tried and successfully connected it one afternoon to remote speakers from my Intel Mac Mini 2.0. I didn't have the time then to complete the install, and I was having difficulty with the printer (Epson 530) so I thought I wouuld work on it more later when I had time.
This time when I went to plug in the Airport it won't stop blinking. Furthermore, when I attempt to connect, the Mac will show the network, but then it will "disappear" about 10 seconds later, and the reappear 30 seconds after again on scan. I followed what I thought were the reset instructions, but when I use Airport utility it will either not show my base station, or if it does, and I click to connect, after a period of time I receive an error message that it was unable to connect and to close out the window and try again. One time earlier this evening I was able to "set up" a network, but when it went to the final setup, something screwed up and it lost connection to the base station. Ever since then the Mac either doesn't see the Base station, or it will see it for a few seconds and then disappear. Also it's never stopped blinking (from what I can tell - I have the unit plugged in another room from the Mac when setting it up).
I want to use the Airport Express for Airtunes and to share a printer wirelessly but NOT to connect to the internet via ethernet (don't have high speed at this location) - and also to access my iTunes files from my netbook in the other room - additionally, I'd like to be able to use my ipod touch as a wireless remote to iTunes. If and when high speed becomes possible I'll use it for that also, but for now, I only want it set up for a network between my computers for iTunes.
Anyone have any ideas? Other than to smash this box against the wall? They make it look so easy on the commercial.....
Respectfully submitted

Hello and thank you for replying. I was attempting to set up the airport express in the another room from the Mac Mini (the printer and other computers are in the back office) - and it wouldn't recognize. So I reset the express, then plugged it in directly underneath the mac, and I was able to set up a wireless system that way. I then went and plugged it back in to the back, and having it locate the signal from up front was a bit dodgy at first (I think there is a lot of metal in the wall the signal is going through - additionally the Mac mini is underneath the counter up front)
But I was finally able to get it to work by putting the airport express on an extention cord, and repositoining it about halfway up the wall on a makeshift shelf. Now my iPod touch "sees" the wireless network, so I'm able to control iTunes from the back room. Additionally, my windows netbook (Acer aspire One) sees my itunes library, although that only wo Wr ks some of the time. Not quite sure why it performs sometimes and not others.
I haven't tried connecting the printer yet, as I need to get an extention USB in order to do so.
It's my hope that eventually we will get a high speeed connection here at my workplace and I'll be able to take full advantage of the express.
Again, thanks for your suggestions - it is still blinking amber, but everything else seems to be working that I have attempted.

Toshiba Store.e Canvio 1TB not showing up on Macbook Pro Retina

Hello,
I'm having trouble with my external hard rive, it's a Toshiba Store.e Canvio 1TB, HDTC610EW3B1.
It has been working fine on my old Macbook running Mavericks but now on my new one, a retina Macbook Pro running on Yosemite, it won't show up anywhere.
I have checked with disk utility and it's not showing up, also not showing up on the USB in system preferences.
As I said, it works fine on Mavericks
Any ideas on what's happening here, please?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Don't have either of them to try.
I have spent two hours with Apple technicians and so far nothing we've tried has worked. I now have to speak to a senior Apple technician and see what they say.
A WD My Passport works well but this Toshiba won't work on Macbook Pro Retina with Yosemite...a bit annoying

Have 2 airport extreme base stations connected in chain. Airport utility shows slave unit without power. However, power is on slave unit, but status lights do not show up at all. Small green lights at each back port blink. Anyone have any ideas?

Unfortunately, you are describing the symptoms of an AirPort Extreme with a failing (or failed) internal power supply.
As a last resort, try a Factory Default Reset on the AirPort Extreme as follows:
Power off the AirPort by pulling the power cord
Wait a minute or two
Hold in the reset button first, and keep holding it in for an additional 8-10 seconds while you simultaneously plug the power back into the AirPort
Release the reset button and allow a full minute for the AirPort to restart
Now try to configure the AirPort again. If you continue to see the same symptoms as before, the AirPort will need to be replaced.

I would recommend setting the wireless encryption on the AirPort Express BEFORE configuring it for the AirPort Extreme in this case. This issue also comes up often when configuring AirPorts into a WDS.
If setting up security in my recommend order does not work, temporarily connect the Express by Ethernet to the Extreme; make the security changes, and then, move the Express back to the desired location.

How to setup a guest network when the dialogue boxes do not show up in AirPort Utility 6.1

How do I setup a guest network when the dialogue boxes do not show up in AirPort Utility 6.1?
I see screenshots where there are boxes to 'enable' guest network but these simply do not apear on the Wireless tab in AirPort Utility

I now have a guest account, thanks to you!
I did the factory reset and was able to set up the guest account.
There were 3 problems, all of which I was able to solve.
The first problem was connect to Ethernet, which I selected by WAN port, as shown in the first screen shot. This page used to read just Ethernet and the Bridge Mode.
The second problem was whether to share a range of addresses or share a public IP address. I selected share a public IP address as shown in the first screen shot. I had tried the range of IP addresses in my earlier attempts, the ones that failed. Hopefully this will have no effect.
I have forgotten what the third problem was - only excuse is a few too many flavored drinks. I didn't have any problems solving it though.
What is really weird is I can log on to Guest and use on my iPad (first generation), my wife's iPod Touch (third generation), and my wife's 2011 MacBook Pro. I can't log onto Guest on my 2008 iMac, even after a restart. I get the image below.
Since I don't lug my iMac around a lot and it is connected by Ethernet, while my little make it right brain says figure this out, I am not going to worry about it.
Thank you again for your time and patience in helping me solve this.

USB Drive not showing in Airport Utility

I have a USB HD formatted with Mac OS Extended (journaled) which I plugged in to my Airport Extreme and it does not show in Airport Utility. Any ideas?
Thanks,

Power off the entire network
Wait a few moments
Start the modem first and continue starting devices one at time until everything is powered back up
If the drive still does not show up.....and you are not using a powered USB hub....that may be needed
Other stuff....verify that the USB cable is working correctly

AE does not show up in Airport Utility

Hello,
As a disclaimer, I know next to nothing about wireless networks. Here is what I have: 2 G5 towers and MBP. Tower is NOT wireless. Cable comes in and goes to modem > modem to Airport Base Station > to D-Link Router. All computers have a direct connection to the D-Link providing 10/100/1000 connection. I also have an Airport Express that is connected to our stereo system to stream iTunes... at some point, and I am not sure when, the AE quit working. I can connect from the laptop upstairs to the Base Station downstairs... but when I open the Airport Admin utility, the Express simply doesn't show up? I have a blinking amber light on the Express. I did a hard reset on all units (AB, AE, and router); but nothing. At one point, this configuration worked just fine. My wife went to use it today and that is when we found out that it doesn't work anymore. What am I doing wrong??
Mike

If you are using AirPort Utility 6.x, or AirPort Utility for iOS devices, printers do not "show up" in the application at all.
This has no bearing on whether or not the printer will function as long as you have installed the printer using Print and Fax on your Mac.
If you are trying to print from an iOS device, you will not be able to accomplish this unless you add additional software to the iOS device.

Airport Disk Utility does not show up as icon on menu bar

Since I upgraded to Leopard, the icon for Airport Disk Utility which used to appear in the menu bar at the top of the screen has gone away. Any ideas please? Perhaps it's a coincidence but after the install of Leopard, the Airport Disk Utility application disappeared! I reinstalled it from the Airport Express Base Station SW and it has appeared in Applications again. I can start it up, select 'Show Airport Disks in the Menu Bar' but they don't appear ...
Any ideas please?

I believe the disk Utility is now incorporated under FINDER/ SHARED / Airport network name. There should be an ejection/mount arrow beside the disk name. In my case I have two USB disks attached 1: "My Book" [NSTF format, 2: G-DRIVE [MAC format]. The "My Book" always mounted automatically but the"G-DRIVE" would not.
The work around was to
1. Connect the G-DRIVE with a wire directly to your computer [I used the firewire]. It will mount and give you an icon under FINDER/DEVICES. The hard drive was actively working on something for about 2 minutes (you could hear it).
2. After the G-DRIVE hard drive stopped making noise. I Ejected it with the arrow beside the Disk name in the DEVICES Section.
3. Then I plugged the G-DRIVE back into the Hub connected to the single Airport Extreme USB connection.
4. Now both Hard Drives showed up under SHARED /Network name With the Eject arrow beside them.
5. I verified there use by transferring a file and using Backup 3.1.2 (ver374) to backup my documents to the G-DRIVE hard drive.
Note: I had to go this once when I installed Leopard 10.5 and had to do it again when IK upgraded to 10.5.1
Hope this helps

Wired AirPort Express not showing in AirPort Utility or iTunes

So I was using my two AirPort Express's to wirelessly play iTunes throughout the house. Recently I wired the house with Cat6 and decided to wire in the AXs for more reliability. My AXs are 1st gen and are running 7.6.1. The problem is, when I turned the wireless off on them, they no longer show up in AirPort Utility or iTunes. I can get them to show in utility by selecting "Configure Other" then manually entering their IP address and password, but that's the only way and they never show in iTunes and disappear from Utility once I "Update". They are wired to a Gigabit switch which is wired to a Netgear router.
Some additional Info:
Green light is on and solid
I can ping them and connect manually
"Connect using ethernet" is set
Connection sharing "Off (Bridge Mode)" is set
I also want to extend my wireless range with them, so I've mirrored my wireless settings and used "Create a wireless network" (tried without doing this as well without luck)
Enable AirPlay is checked
Netgear WNDR3700v2 Router Firmware version 1.0.0.36
Keebox SGE08 Gigabit Ethernet Switch
Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 x64
Any idea why I can't see or use them in iTunes and AirPort Utility?
Thanks!

I wish that I could help you. I'm having a similar problem, but wireless.
A couple months ago, my two Airport Expresses and my Apple TV disappeared from iTunes AirPlay. When I ran the Airport Utility, the Airports and Apple TV could not be located. Interestingly, the Airports displayed a green light and all iDevices (iPod Touches and iPads) could connect to the Airports via AirPlay. Like wise, Airport Utility on the iDevices located the Airports. So I connected an Airport to the router via a Ethernet cable. Once connected via wire and after a hard reset (with an orange light displayed) the Airport Utility found the wire-connected Airport. I ran the utility to set up the Airport and a green light came on. Then the wire-connected Airport was visible on iTunes AirPlay. So I unplugged the Airplay and returned it to the stereo. The green light came on, but now neither iTunes not the computer based Airport Utility could find it, even though the iDevices could. I repeated this process expecting a different outcome enough times to be certified insane.
So as I sit my computer based (Windows Vista) Airport Utility and computer based iTunes (the new version) cannot locate the Airport Expresses even though the iDevices readily see them. And their green lights display a connection to the network.
I even tried a forced connection by pasting the Airport's IP address (obtained using Airport Utility on iPad) into the manual configuration of the Airport Utility on the computer. Oddly, once the IP address was entered, the computer based Airport Utility could see the specs of the Airport Express. But when I tried to save or conclude the Computer based Airport Utility configuration, I got an error.
Another odd thing is that the Remote App on my iDevices no longer works either. I can no longer connect to my iTunes library. The remote simply can't find my Library at all. (I confirmed that Home Sharing is on). But I noted that in iTunes is indicated that four devices work connected or linked to the Library. So I had iTunes "forget" the devices "connected" for Remote and tried to reconnect. I got the number could on the iDevise but the devise never appeared in iTunes Devises for selection.
So whatever problem is preventing iTunes from locating my Airport, is also blocking my iDevises from connecting to iTunes. Meanwhile, my iDevises can sync with iTunes (while wired - I never tried a wireless sync) and can connect via AirPlay to all Airports.
I've researched this for months and found nothing to work. I'm frustrated to the point of doing something drastic like dumping iTunes and finding some other player to manage my music and stream to my stereos. I'd rather not but the vast majority of my Library can't be played over my stereo.

Is it normal for airport express not to show up in utility when extending a network?

Hi, with the help of this community, I think I successfully extended my wifi network by using airport expresses, connected to my time capsule, via my houses electrical system (via powerline adaptors), which ultimately connect via an RJ45 cable to the airport express. I tried to do it all with the same netwrok, so I do not need to switch to different networks when I move about the house.
I think it works because my signal strenght is much stronger than before I added the powerline adaptors. So, why am I back here?, two things. First is I want to make sure I did this all correctly, as I am adding a few more of these powerline adapters as they have really changed my wireless experiences.
What should the internet setting be on the time capsule and airport expresses. I have it set the "connection" to off (bridge mode) on the TC and the express units. But the express units blink yellow and says there is a NAT/DHCP error. something about the time capsule rejecting the sharing? so I chnage the TC to share a public address and the express to off (bridge mode), and I think this works.
But when I do this, none of the express units show up in the utility anymore. Should I just take it as a blessing that it seems to be working, and not mess with it?
What should all the setting be? I am sure that I should be able to see all the units in the utility.
Thanks if this makes any sense to you.

But when I do this, none of the express units show up in the utility anymore. Should I just take it as a blessing that it seems to be working, and not mess with it?
Did you power cycle the entire network to get things in proper sequence?
If not, power off everything....all devices....order is not important
Wait a few minutes
Power up the modem first and let it run a moment or two
Power up the Time Capsule the same way
Power up the powerline devices
Power up each Express one at a time
Power up other devices one at at time
What should the internet setting be on the time capsule and airport expresses.
The setting on the Time Capsule will depend on the type of modem that you have connected. It sounds like the "Share a public IP address" would be correct for the Time Capsule. Everything else must be in "Bridge Mode"
Each of the AirPort Express devices must be configured to "Create a wireless network" using the same wireless network name, security setting and password as the Time Capsule network. Set the Channels as "Automatic" and double check as the last configuration step to make sure that they are set for Bridge Mode.
Then restart the entire network as outlined above and you are in business.
The Express devices should definitely show up in AirPort Utility when you have everything set up.

Airport utility 6.2 not showing airport

why in the world is this stupid app not showing what it is supposed to show. it only shows the internet globe but no other airport on my network. The network works fine ... inthe utility it simply spinns this round thing looking for something but it is hopeless.
Can this be reset or do a new scan or something?
thanks
