Airport Xpress cant find printer in Bridge mode Help!

I have a qwest modem DSL. I am trying to set up a VPN on a mini so I can tunnel into it from home.
I have a static ip address on the modem so I am putting the Airport express into bridge mode so that i can port forward to the mini. Every time I do this I lose the ability to print through the Airport. Also Im sure I lose Airtunes. Any ideas or is there another way for me to port from the modem through the Airport to the mini
Cheers
TIA
Warren

I was trying to use IPNetShareX to configure it, but I didn't find a way. I'll keep looking...

Airport Tool cant find my Express.. HELP!

Just mended an old b/g Airport Express because the power supply was broken.
I set it up so it would extend my wireless network with the Airport Extreme and everything worked just fine. Later i tried to set up Airfoil but Airfoil could never find the Express.
So i tried to update the firmware to the same as it was, I waited for it for 15 minutes but it was still saying something like "updating firmware" in the Airport Utility. So i disconnected the power and hoped I could try again. *BUT.... Now it never shows up in Airport Utility.*
What can i do?

Welcome to the discussion area, NikeNike!
I suggest that you perform a Factory Default Reset on the AirPort Express and then try to update or reconfigure it.
Power the Express off for at least 10 minutes
Hold in the reset button and while you continue to hold the reset button in, plug the Express back in to power
Keep holding the reset button until you see the amber light begin to blink more quickly, keep holding another second or two when you see this, and then release the reset button.
Temporarily, connect an ethernet cable from your computer to the AirPort Express and then open AirPort Utility to update the firmware as needed or reconfigure the device. You can disconnect the ethernet cable after you have the Express updated with new settings and then move the Express to the location where it's needed.

I have FIOS and the latest version of the Airport Extreme Basestation set up in bridge mode.

OK need some technical answers I have FIOS and am forced to use their Router. I have WiFi turned off on the FIOS router and my New version Airport Exteme Basestation set up in Bridge Mode. I have CAD 5 running to all my Mac computers and a CAD 5 up to the second floor. I have an older version Airport Extreme Basestation that I would like to connect to the CAD 5 cable on the second floor where the WiFi signal is weak as the main Airport is in the basement. How would I connect the second Airport to the Airport that is in Bridge Mode? Will this setup mess up my signal strength on either CAD 5 or WiFi? I will also have one Macbook Pro plugged into the upstairs Airport. This is mainly for the WiFi for my iPad and iPhone. Details will help. Thanks.

How would I connect the second Airport to the Airport that is in Bridge Mode?
Connect from a LAN <-> port on the Bridge Mode AirPort to the WAN "O" port on the second floor AirPort and then use AirPort Utility on a Mac or iPad to set things up.
Will this setup mess up my signal strength on either CAD 5 or WiFi?
Nothing will be messed up, and you will have a much stronger WiFi signal upstairs.
If you need more details on setup.....we need to know.....
1) What model number of AirPort Extreme will be upstairs. The model number is usually embedded in the foam base on the bottom of the device. Starts with an "A" followed by four numbers. Example.....A1143.
2) What operating system you are using on your Mac, or whether you want to use the iPad for the setup...assuming that the upstairs AirPort is compatible.

Airport utility cant find airport extreme 802.11

Bought a 802.11 today. Didnt come with a CD and so downloaded Aiport Utility 5.4.1 for windows. I am using the dang router right now since I am on the internet. Its amber light is flashing. The Airport Utility cant find any Apple wireless devices. Hmm. Help. Do I need to download something other than 5.4.1? When I put in 802.11 utility all I get back is a bunch of patches...Help.

Thanks Hackintosh. I got it going. It would be enormously helpful if Apple would list the most current software necessary for the Airport Extreme FIRST when you search for downloads. But that would be too easy.
Thanks,

We recently switched ISPs. To connect to the new ISP our Airport Extreme has to be in bridge mode. Now our Nintendo Wii won't connect to the Airport. Is it an issue with bridge mode that is causing this?

We recently switched ISPs. To connect to the new ISP our Airport Extreme has to be in bridge mode. Now our Nintendo Wii won't connect to the Airport. Is it an issue with bridge mode that is causing this? We're running two Macs wirelessly with no problems. And the Wii did connect before the switch.

Hello and thanks for the reply. I gave this a try, turned off Airport on one of the computers and tried the Wii again. Still no connection. I should say that we're also running an old G4 (wired) off the Airport as well, with no problems. I've tried many things to make the Wii to work, including power cycling the Airport, turning off the security settings in the Airport, resetting the Airport to it's default and redoing the network, resetting the network setting on the Wii (several times), moved the Airport closer to the Wii, all with no luck. The Wii "sees" the Airport but won't connect to it. I'm at a loss for anything else to try, so any help is appreciated.

AirPort utility cant find Time Capsule

I have trouble connecting to my TC. I've got the newest version of airport utility. I've connected the ethernet cable to the Wan port and plugged in the TC. The strange thing is that I'm now connected to internet but the AirPort utility cant find the Time Capsule (and the light flashes amber).

Thank you, that solved this problem for me:
Problem:
I factory reset two 3T time capsules. Now airport utility can't fid them. "No configured AirPort base stations have been found." I've performed all of the following:
Power cycled the time capsules
Restarted the Mac Mini they are attached too
Reperformed the factory reset
Configured the IPv6 in the network settings to "Link-local only"
Designated a router address manually for the ethernet port these time capsules are connected to.
FYI: I have two 3T time capsules daisy chained to a mac mini server on a company LAN. Connected by a USB-ethernet connection.
Solution:
Tuned MacMini Server's WiFi "ON"
Verified network setting IPv6 was set to "Link-Local only"
Disadvantage:
I had the MacMini Server set up as a wifi hot spot so guests could use the internet through it and access our shared server to move files. We no longer have that ability since the MacMini now has to be logged into the company wireless.

Hi , how i can print attachment from macbook , i also saved that attachments but cant find print option

hi , how i can print attachment from macbook , i also saved that attachments but cant find print option

Normally one would open the attachment in the appropriate application (e.g., MS Word for a Word document, Preview for a PDF, etc.) and use that application to do the printing.

I was doing some thing on my mac and the normal link to the applications folder from the bottom right hand corner disappeared, I cant find it anywhere, Can you help me?

Simple process. If an iPhone go to the Apple Store and not Verizon
the phone from Verizon will be a refurbished device and not new unless under the 14 day worry free guarantee
good luck

I backup to an external hdd with Time Machine, when it ran out of space it did not delete old backups, now my internal hdd says its full when before it had heaps of space. I have searched for extra files but cant find any. Can anyone help, please.

First, empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. Then reboot. That will temporarily free up some space.
To locate large files, you can use Spotlight as described here. That method may not find large folders that contain a lot of small files.
You can also use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one.
Proceed further only if the problem hasn't been solved.
ODS can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
Back up all data now.
Install ODS in the Applications folder as usual.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything while running ODS as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means.
When you're done with ODS, quit it and also quit Terminal.

Try the Boot Camp Assistant when you are in OS X and download those and follow the directions in BCA utility.
Then look up the Boot Camp forum. I suspect you thought this was MBP related forum, it is for 65 lb tower model (and well the new "nMP Late 2013 Mac Pro" http://www.apple.com/support/macpro/
Boot Camp
There is a support page too

Airport utlitiy cant find TIme Capsule

While looking for answers to my problem there are several here but none quite fit my problem. I just purchased an A1335 1tb time capsule and upon receiving it started to set it up. My macbook did not find it at first wirelessly till I hooked it up to an ethernet cable. I went through settings and tried to set it up only as wireless network for now seeing as I dont have DSL or cable internet at the moment. However after I finished it went to reset ans restart everything and then it came up with an error ans said now it cant find it all. SO I turned it off and restarted manually thinking it should at least see it. I cant get anything. and to top it off the machine is flashing some sort of error code and I have no way of telling what cause I cant find it. haha
I have even tried resetting it several times to no avail. ideas on what to do would be helpful other than mailing it back. thanks

We will try to adjust the settings on your Time Capsule first, without completely reconfiguring it, but that may be necessary if these steps do not work correctly.
Make sure that you have an Ethernet cable connected from the modem to the WAN port (circle of dots icon) on the Time Capsule
Connect your spare Ethernet cable from one of the LAN <-> ports on the Time Capsule to your Mac
Restart the modem, the Time Capsule and the Mac
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click Manual Setup
If you are able to access the settings of the Time Capsule, click the Internet icon and make sure that your settings look like this:
Connect Using = Ethernet
Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode)
Click Update at the lower right of the window and the Time Capsule will restart in 25-30 seconds
Restart the Mac and leave the Ethernet cable connected for now. See if you can use your browser to get an Internet connection.

Airport utility cant find my new airport

Hello.
I got a new airport extreme N base station, and i currently already have one in my study (i plan on extending my network).
the first time i turned the new airport on, Airport utility located it immediately. i then used the wizard to try and make it join my network (named Bluenet)
but then it said error. and since then my utility cant locate the new airport base station. even when converted back to factory settings.
can anyone help me with my problem? and possibly also give me a crash course in extending the network.
thank you.
Merry christmas

place the secondary router in bridge mode then configure your wireless. Either create or extend. The trick now is to get AU recognizing that new router. Try using an ethernet cable to re-find that new router.

Share Airport Connection to Ethernet port in BRIDGE mode?

I've been trying to do this for a while now, but I haven't been able.
I have the modem form my ISP hooked to a Airport Express configured in BRIDGE mode, thus creating a wireless network for my home with "live" IPs for all the computers (yes... I know the security risks...).
My G4 (across the room) gets Internet from it's Airport Card and I configured the Share Internet preference pane to "Share the Internet Connection from the Airport to the Ethernet Port", so I can create (...extend, really) a WIRED network from my G4's Ethernet Port.
The thing is that I want this wired network to have also "live" IPs, but the Airport Card always has the "Distribute IP Addresses" (or it's equivalent, from the Airport Admin Setup) activated, so it provides a 192.168.X.X network and I can't find a way to turn that off.
In other words, I want it to acts as a BRIDGE and not as DHCP Server.
Anyone?
TIA

I was trying to use IPNetShareX to configure it, but I didn't find a way. I'll keep looking...

No printing in bridge mode

Setting up an AEBS for use with an IMac. Using cable modem so I had to set the AEBS to bridge mode to be able to access the internet. Have an HP photoprinter/scanner hooked up that will work with a USB connection to the IMac but not when plugged into the AEBS. I've added a new printer for the HP using bonjour. The IMac seems to "see" the printer but nothing happens. Any ideas?
Would a work around be to attach the printer directly to the IMac and just allow it to be shared through the IMac?

As long as the airport is getting an IP, it should be working. Though if you had it set up in non-bridge mode before and it worked, the computer could be saving settings/information from the previous setup.
I'd check the airport utility and first make sure the airport is getting a valid IP (in the internet section). If so, check the printers section and make sure the printer is detected. Then remove and re-add the printer on the computers (in print & fax system preferences).
The work around you mentioned will also work.

Airport Extreme won't stay in Bridge Mode

I have the AE being used as a USB print server and for some reason it doesn't stay in Bridge mode. Every few days/weeks I have to run the AirPort Utility and put it back on Bridge Mode. No idea how/why it gets reset.
I am printing over the network (not wireless) from two iMacs. The AE is plugged into a router in the basement. Any other configuration options I could try?

I'm having a similar problem and I'm at wit's end. I know almost nothing about hardware.
My DSL comes in through AT&T on a Motorola MSTATEA (whatever that is) modem and goes to a single iMac. The brand new Airport Extreme handles my 802.11n network (several iMacs) without a problem.
When I change the configuration to be DSL modem > AE > wireless iMacs, there is DSL for everybody for a short period of time (seconds to minutes). Then I get a very ugly error message (I believe an exclamation mark on a red background) saying that 192.168.1.64 (the address printed on the modem) is in use by 00:1b:63:... (not the MAC ID of my Airport Extreme) Server 192.168.1.254. Airport Utility starts and tells me I must set up my AE in bridge mode. I do that successfully, restart my hardware, and the whole cycle begins again. Airport Utility keeps telling me my AE needs to be changed bridge mode, and I keep doing it. Is there a way to verify that the AE ever even accepts to the command to go to bridge mode?
