All my express base stations have stopped working
I have 4 express stations set up (all model A1088) connected to various speakers throughout the house. They have all worked flawlessly for years and now suddenly now are are not working. ALl have green lights but non are availabe to pick to direct speakers to. I've tired resetting them and configuring them again and it all goes fine until the express restarts (has green light) but I get an error saing that airport utility was unable to find your airport wireless device after retarting. This has occured with all 4 express' so it seems very unlikely that the individual espress' would all break at the same time.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Ok it has all of a sudden came back to life!! and 50 emails came through as proof! grr!!

Suddenly all of my Office-programs have stopped working and will not launch on my MacBook. They were all already installed when I bought the computer. Could anyone give an amateur from Norway a hint of what may cause the problem? (And I can not find the installation-disc for the Office Programs...Super!)

Airport express base station a1264 was working great.
Hi
I have airport express base station a1264 and it was working great. Updated to Maverick and the utility now is 6.3.2. It seems now itunes drops occassionally.
I only want this AX to be a remote Stereo connection for my itunes. NO INTERNET
Connection goes as follows: Mac Mini Wifi to AX ---> Toslink to Cambridge Magic Dac100 to RCA to Pre-AMp. All was great for a couple of years.
Now it drops - annoyingly so!
I tried to update the firmware and then tried to re-configure but I can't seem to get it to ignore INTERNET connection.
It seems to work - but the MAC MINI has the exclamation over the WIFI icon - says no internet connection - which I don't want. Why is it looking for internet. I set up a new network and set the SSID as STEREO WIFI which itunes will connect to....
Do I care about the exclmation point? Never saw it - ...
THanks
Merry Christmas

This was working a week ago. I unplugged it for a move and now I get nothing. No light - it's like it's not connected to the power.
Locate the reset button, which is a small, circular gray, flush button near the connectors. (See the diagram on page 7 of this manual: http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/AirPort_Express_SetupGuide.pdf .)
Press in on that button while you plug it in. Continue to press for maybe 20 seconds. If you don't see any sign of the status light flashing during that time, then your Express may be dead. -
I deleted Bonjour since I don't need it for remote printing. Now on start-up I get the message: "Airport Base Station Agent has stopped working" and also message: "can't find APAgent.exe.: Do I need AP Agent?? What to do?? Thanks.
The APAgent monitors your AirPort base station and informs you if there are things like firmware updates available. This utility relies on Bonjour, but is not required for base station operation. However, Bonjour makes it easier for your PC to "find" the base station via the AirPort Utility and I would recommend that you keep it installed. If you don't want the APAgent, you can just use the Apple Updater utility (that was also installed when the AirPort Utility was installed) to remove it.

All Google and Twitter apps have stopped working on iPhone 6
I've had a new iPhone 6 for about a month now and suddenly on the same day last week, all google/twitter related apps have completely stopped working, like they can't access my network connection.
Google Maps, Hangouts, and Gmail are all showing the same issue, they say there is no network connection even though there is.
Twitter won't even let me sign in because it says it can't locate the server when I enter my login credentials (and I've tried multiple accounts, all with correct information). Most odd is that even 3rd party twitter apps like Tweetbot don't seem to work either, as they won't let me login. When I try to login using the Twitter section of iPhone settings, it tells me my login info is incorrect even though I have checked multiple times and it is.
I've tried deleting all of these apps and re installing, to no avail.
Anyone?settings - general - reset - reset network settings -
you will have to reconnect to any saved wifi

I am lookin to plug in an older model a-1084 next to my playstation for a dedicated access point to avoid dropping so many connections since I am at the furthest point of my wifi coverage. Will it work or not? It would be connecting through a AirPort Extreme bought in 2011 -2012.
This will work if you plan to connect the AirPort Express using a wired Ethernet connection back to the AirPort Extreme.
But, it won't work if you plan to connect the Express using wireless only. That's because your older version of the Expess does not have a setting to "extend a wireless network", so it's not possible to "extend" the wireless signal using wireless only.
If you added a "new" AirPort Express, that version does have the capability to "extend a wireless network" from the AirPort Extreme using wireless only.
Keep in mind that to "extend" using wireless, the Express will need to be located where it can receive a strong signal from the AirPort Extreme, since the Express can only "extend" the quality of signal that it receives. In other words, the Express can make the signal go further, but it cannot make the signal go faster. -
any ideas of what i can try?
Please authorize ADE 3 with same credentials that you used with older version of ADE

Difference between Extreme Base Station vs. Express Base Station ?
I use an Ibook with an Airport Extreme Card. I use it wirelessly to my Phone Companies (Windstream here in New Mexico) wireless modem with antenna they provided for me. My question is...I am unable to pick up a good signal on the other end of our house...Do I need a base station or an Airport Express or Extreme Base station to help with a longer distance between my Ibook and the wireless modem? Not sure what the difference is? We have a guest house that is rented on weekends to tourists...I want them to pick up a frequency from my wireless modem that is over at our place. Does it matter which base station I get? In order for the signal to get stronger between homes. And does one base station eliminate the need to have my wireless modem? Thanks in advance- Jeff
Do I need a base station or an Airport Express or Extreme Base station to help with a longer distance between my Ibook and the wireless modem?
Unfortunately, very few non-AirPort wireless routers will work with AirPort base stations to extend the wireless network in a Wireless Distribution System (WDS). However, if your wireless modem (which sounds like a gateway) also provides wired LAN ports, you could connect an AirPort base station to it and then extend the network, wirelessly, with additional ones. You can create a WDS with all AirPort Extreme Base Stations (AEBS), all AirPort Express Base Stations (AX) or a mix of both. (Note: The new AEBS, to be available in February, does not appear to have WDS functionality.)
Does it matter which base station I get? In order for the signal to get stronger between homes.
No. However, it's important to understand that a WDS does not "boost" a signal, only re-transmits it at the same throughput as it receives it.
And does one base station eliminate the need to have my wireless modem?
Unfortunately, no. The AirPort base stations do not incorporate a DSL or cable modem. -
Why have all 3 airport express base stations stopped working, other users are on ipads and BT have checked and improved line but I still have an intermittent/no connection?
You must tell us the whole setup.. what is the main router?? How are the express connected to each other?
On ipad it works ok?? But you are on a computer?? MBP early 2011 running Lion?? That doesn't work.. even if you are right next to the main router??
Plugged in by ethernet does it work??
Have you installed a wireless diagnostic program.. ?? Actually Lion has one installed but hidden I believe.
Later version bought it to the surface.
About Wireless Diagnostics
If you do run Lion please install the 5.6 airport utility as it will give you loads more info on how the units are connected.. and link speeds for extend wireless.
How to load 5.6 into later Lion & ML
1. Download 5.6 for Lion.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
Click to open the dmg but do not attempt to install the pkg.. it won't work anyway.
Leave the package open on the desktop so you can see the file. AirportUtility56.pkg
2. Download and install unpkg.
http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
Run unpkg on the desktop.. If your Mac refuses to run the software, because it wasn’t downloaded from the Apple store, go to security in preferences and allow other software to work.. this is limitation of trade methinks. You can set back later if you like.
Now drag the AirPortUtility56.pkg file over to unpkg.. and it will create a new directory of the same name on the desktop.. in finder, open the new directory, drill down.. applications, utilities .. there lo and behold is Airport utility 5.6 .. drag it to your main utilities directory or just run it from current location.
You cannot uninstall version 6 (now 6.3 if you updated) so don't try.. and you cannot or should not run them both at the same time.. although I have had no problems when doing so. -
Airtunes with Airport Express Base Station stopped working for no reason
Hello,
I used to play music through AirTunes with no problem. I have an Airport Express Base Station and I'm connected to it with an Airport Extreme Card built-in my iBook G4. When I came home after day at work (with the iBook, which is connected in there to wireless access point but not Apple), Airtunes is not working. Also I can not see my (not closed network) Base Station in Airport Admin Utility, internet connection is still working fine. If I connect to the Base Station by pressing button Other, manually type IP of Base Station I can connect to it and administrate it. Airtunes is allowed there, in iTunes too but it is just not working, I don't know about anything that could has been changed. I think nothing has. AppleTalk is runnig only on Airport card. Thank anyone for any advice. I tried to update firmware in the Base Station today and no software update is available.
I created log /var/log/all.log (.), when I reconnect to the network I can see this there:

iBook G4 12" Mac OS X (10.4.6)Please perform a "factory default" reset on your AirPort Express. Note you may need to do this a few times to make sure it "sticks." Once completed successfully, the status light should flash amber NOT green.
This type of reset will reconfigure the Express to its factory settings. That is, it will broadcast an unsecured Wi-Fi network with a network name (aka SSID) of something like: Apple Network NNNNNN
Can your Win7 computer find and connect to this network now? If it can, then do so and the AirPort Utility on the PC should now be able to find the Express. -
I have 2 Airport Base stations that I am trying to use to extend my WiFi but I cant get them to work. I downloade Airport Utility to windows 7 and it doesnt recognize any devices. I have them plugged in and they have a solid yellow light. Does anyone know what I need to do to get them to work. Your help would be appreciated.
Thanks for providing the model information.
I would recommend that you start by performing a "factory default" reset on all of your AirPort base stations. Once completed power them all down. While powered-down, temporarily connect both Express base stations to an open LAN port on the Extreme using separate Ethernet cables.
Once connected, power up the Extreme; wait five minutes, and then, power up each of the Express base stations. Which you power-up first doesn't matter.
Now start up the AirPort Utility on the PC. It should now "see" all three base stations. If so, go ahead and configure your extended network.
Please post back your results. -
Both my Airport Express have stopped working with OSX 10.7.5 Lion.
I'm going off my head! Both AE's 802.11n have stopped working, and no longer appear in the Airport Utility
I installed the Airport Utility 5.6 but still no luck. I reset the AE's with a 'hard reset' and also tried plugging in an Ethernet Cable, still no joy as both AE's have become 'invisible' to the config utility
Running 10.7.5 (11G63)
Anyone managed to get these re-appear?UPDATE
By accident I have solved this. I previously had two WiFi networks running, the 'prime' one is from a Sky router and the second one from an Apple Time Capsule. To try and fix poor Sky broadband performance, I switched off the Time Machine to negate any potential issues of DNS clashes. During this 'no Time Machine' period I plugged in the old Airport Express's one by one, did a hard reset by pressing the reset button with a paperclip on the AE whilst plugged in. The Airport Express after flashing yellow quickly, then turned a steady yellow for around 2 minutes before started yellow slow flash. Only then did it appear in the Airport Utility window (I used ver 6.1 without any issue on a Mac running 10.7.5) BE PATIENT - THE AIRPORT EXPRESS TAKES A WHILE TO APPEAR AND YOU NEED TO RE-SCAN
When the yellow flash starts, re-scan for 'other Airport Base Stations' using the grey button top right of the utility window.
I configured one with an ethernet cable, and one over WiFi, both working and the whole job took maybe 10mins each
I'm using old Airport Express devices 802.11n.
Have not switched on the Time Machine yet - fingers crossed it does not all fall in a heap again !!! -
After downloading firmware for airport utility last night, airport express base station was deleted from airport utility and only Time Capsule remains. When I plug in the base station, an amber light blinks without being able to verify the cause. Any suggestions to remedy this problem?
There are only a couple of things you can do to resuscitate a nonresponsive Express:
"Hard reset":
Press and hold the reset button with a pen or pencil until you see the status light (LED) start to flash amber rapidly, which should occur after about five seconds.
If that does not work,
"Factory defaults reset":
Unplug the Express from power.
Press and hold the reset button with a pen or pencil, then plug the Express back in while continuing to hold the button until you see the light (LED) flash rapidly. This should happen after a few seconds.
Release the button.
In either case you will have to reconfigure the Express as a new device. A moment or two after it has been reset, the LED should be blinking slowly. It must then appear in your Wi-Fi menu like this:
Earlier versions of OS X will report it as "Apple Network nnnnnn".
In either case, select it, and then launch AirPort Utility.
If it does no appear in your Wi-Fi menu after it has been reset using one of the two techniques above, it is defective. Other than attempting another reset, there is nothing you can do. -
I have epson printer, will this workwith the airport express base station. At present it works on a wireless set up from my windows pc.
Regards GrahamI maybe worded my question wrongly so I'll try again. I have an Epson Stylus SX525WD printer which at present works wireless through my router and windows pc. I also have an ipad which I cannot print with through present wireless set up.
If I was too purchase a apple airport express base station would I be able to print from ipad and pc on a wireless set up. Hope thats a bit clearer
