Apple Airport Express gets warm en shut off (dead)

My 14 month old Apple Airport Express gets warm en shut off (dead) after few minutes. Have to disconnect power, wait and reconnect but the same happens again. Have re installed sw. Is it a warranty issue or just go by a new one?

Thanks but its bought online in apple store and Apple shops are rear to find in south off Norway. Before I send it back, do you know normal warranty? 12 ore 24 mounds or is it due to national rules? Normal consumer warranty in Norway are at least 24 mounts.

  • HT203987 My Apple iPad won't shut off or close down. How do I get it to shut off'

    I Have an Apple IPad tablet.it is a 32 gb. IOS 8.1.3 when I try to shut it down I know there use to be a bar that you slide to close it.but now I can't find it . I held the button down for 10 to 20 seconds but it still won't shut off. If I let it go during the nite while  I sleep I can hear it makeing  a dinging sound like I get when a notification  shows up. but it won't completely shut down . How do I get it to shut off.

    TTry a reset. Hold down on the sleep AND home buttons at the same time - for 10 seconds or so - until the Apple Logo appears on the screen. When the logo appears, let go of the buttons and let the iPd start up. After it starts up, then try to shut down again.
    BTW, I amost never shut my iPads or iPhone off. I simply let them sleep. I recharge the battery when needed but always while the iPads or phone is still powered up.

  • Apple AirPort Express - not supported by BT Home H...

    The mystery of the vanishing AirPort Express makes the above conclusion inevitable. I have two, old and new, solely for iTunes music distribution. Even when they do show on my wireless network, I get the famous AirPort Utility error 10057.
    They do work from time to time, sometimes for long periods; then resetting the Home Hub usually brings them back (or not).
    I'm so exasperated by the Home Hub that in the recycling bin it goes. I'll buy a proper wireless router.
    Wake-up BT - Apple are bigger than you!

    I thought I'd post an update on my odyssey to get an Apple AirPort Express working under Windows 7 for iTunes
    The new ASUS dual band ADSL router is nice... though network setup was not entirely painless
    More flexible firmware than the BT Home Hub is a real plus
    Getting the AirPorts configured was not Apple-easy. The AirPort Utility does not like a thing called "Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6)" - find your wireless adaptor Properties via Network and Sharing Center and uncheck the offending item. Beware, Windows 7 homegroups like it, so you may have to switch it on again later. Pro-tem, that should get your AirPort found by the utility.
    This left me with working AirPorts which disappear from the network when not used - so you have to switch them off and on every time you want to use them.
    The only solution I've come across (set Wireless Security to WPA2 Personal on AirPort and Router) hasn't worked... 

  • Apple airport express not recognised

    I have a new iMac running on Yosemite and an old(ish) first gen apple airport express which allows me to stream itunes to my nice big speaker and that works great.
    Also have an Apple TV, an iphone and an iPad and they all talk to each other fine.
    Have bought another, second hand, first gen (model number A1088) apple airport express as I want to get another nice speaker for another room so I can have music streaming throughout the house.
    However, when I plug this second apple airport express in all I get is a flashing amber light and it's not recognised on the airport utility on the mac or on my iphone.
    When I disconnect my original apple airport express and leave the 2nd one still connected I "think" my Mac detects it but it says the Airport Utility does not work with this device.
    Can anyone please help?
    I have power cycled everything (inc modem/router) and no change.
    Thanks

    Believe it or not I have got it all working.
    I ethernet connected the troublesome AE to my router, downloaded AU 5.6 and configured it to join my existing home wifi network.
    Yes my iMac's and iPhone's AU won't allow me to change any settings but they both now see it.
    If I want to make any changes I just use the AU 5.6 that I now have on my iMac. And any changes I want to make on the AE which I have been successfully using I just use the Yosemite AU.
    All good. Now off to go shopping for a nice powered speaker.

  • Apple Airport Express and PC Laptops - Wireless Network Help

    Hello all,
    I have two Wi-Fi enabled laptops running Windows XP, an Apple Airport Express unit and a Netgear DG-632 Modem/Router.
    At present the DG-632 is running in modem mode and is connected to one laptop using the ethernet connection. The Netgear DG-632 Modem/Router has one ethernet connection and one USB connection.
    My understanding is that if i run one laptop off the USB connection on the Modem/Router and connect the the DG-632 to the ethernet connection then the laptop on USB has to be turned on for the second laptop to access the wireless network.
    Assuming the above is true (i am very likely wrong), it would be nice if both laptops were able to access the internet wirelessly via the Airpot Express Unit.
    However, being a complete novice at networking, i am little confused about how to do this?
    Any help, tutorials or advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    I'm new. I have a Dell Laptop XP and my wife has a
    dell desktop XP . I have DSL with a Linksys wireless
    router. After many hours on the phone I was able to
    get the ineternet set up for me and my wife.
    After all this I found that my Airport Express system
    couldn't connect to my stereo. It seems that the
    router wireless connection pays no attention to
    Airport. Apple says that they could set up another
    wireless system to work for Itunes by using my
    wireless card in the Laptop.
    But... I can't listen to the music and surf the net
    at the same time. A linksys person has tried to allow
    Linksys to accept and proper installation to the
    router. I tried is but it didn't work.
    Dell Laptop   Windows
    XP   Wireless card and Linksys
    router
    Dell
    Laptop   Windows XP   Wireless card and
    Linksys router
    Sort of new here and to the AE, but have a Dell Desktop and Tosbiba laptop both running XPHome SP2, and on dialup
    The Linksys router is hooked to the desktop with an ethernet cable. In the office.
    The AE is in the living room and works great for surfing and ITunes.
    The only way I could get my AE to work as an access point for dialup and stream ITunes from the laptop to the home theater was to use the setup found here.
    http://rgbdream.com/?p=44
    The only problem I had with the setup was do not use the $ when entering the password. And had to use a proxy server on the desktop for sharing the dialup. LOL no hope of any broadband here.
    Hope this is some help.

  • Erro 3256 using Apple Airport Express with Windows XP Pro SP2

    I am running Windows XP Pro SP2 and am trying to stream my music to the Livng room from my PC in my office. I use an Apple Airport Express. I am running iTunes 8.0.1.11 on the computer that isn't getting the signal through. Now please read the entire message before you decide it is the version of iTunes that I am using.
    It was getting through just fine on my Denon 3300 but since I switched to a Denon 3802 the signal is not geting through from my main computer. It works fine from the computer sittng adjacent to it.
    I also have music on a 2nd computer and am running iTunes 7.6.2.9 on it. The music gets to the living room stereo just fine using the same Apple Airport Express. The signal strength on the computer that is successful in streaming the music to the Apple Airport Express is "excellent". On the computer that is not successful, the signal strenth is "low". Now these computers are adjacent to each other and the signal has to go through the same wall and
    exactly the same distance over the same network.
    How can it be "excellent" on one and "low" on the other? Is it just a matter of signal strength? How do I fix that?
    I keep getting "unknown error occurred 3256"
    Help please. Do I have to do something to the network? or???
    Remember I am a Windows user, not a Mac user. I do not have a "Configure IPv6" setting anywhere in my preferences. That must be a Mac thing.

    Got the error message 3256 after downloaded latest itunes version 8.xx.
    After days of reading logs and bullentin boards, uninstalling, hard resets,firewalls experiments, etc, I found solution for me. Following firmware upgrade to airport express solved. When you go to Apple download center and search for airport revisions only the MAc version pops up. However they do have this one for windows. Give it a try. Good luck.

  • So does the Apple Airport Express take the place of the "Charter" modem and router we already have in our house?

    We purchased the Apple Airport Express and in our home have 2 iPads, 2 iPhones, 1 iPod, 1 MacBook, and two *D* computers and a Brother printer along with Apple TV and a projector.
    1. How do we get them all to mirror the content of the various devices onto the TV or the projector?
    2. Can we now unplug the *Ch* equipment from our cable source and plug in the airport express?
    Putting all the pieces together is just a little beyond us at this moment. Maybe it will click with a little help. Thanks!
    "Stuck" in Montgomery

    I'm pretty sure you will find that the Airport Express will not work with your router unless it's an Airport Extreme Base Station.
    You can do two things with the Airport Express. You can connect it by USB or Ethernet cable to a device like a printer that does not have wireless capability and provide a wireless connection to your router provided the two devices will "talk" to each other.
    You can connect it to a Mac to provide audio streaming wirelessly.
    You may be able to use it with your projector provided it has its own wireless capability, but I don't know if an Airport Express will stream video. Same for your TV.
    In fact for your home I'm not sure the AEX would be of much use except to connect to your Mac in order to stream audio to another wireless device in your home. But only if you can get the AEX to work with your router or replace the router with an AEBS (which you could only do if your current router is a discrete device connected to your Charter cable modem.)

  • Apple Airport Express: How To Change IP Address While in Bridge Mode

    Hello, I have a Apple Airport Express router and it has been good for a few years. Just wondering how to change my public IP address. I am also in Bridge mode to a cisco router. Also I am on a Windows 8 computer and this is mainly what I want to change the ip for.

    Power cycle the cable modem.. I presume that is what the cisco router is.. your modem.. if not tell us precise model and make of the modem.
    The public IP is not changed by you.. it is changed by your ISP.. normally if you power cycle the modem on a dynamic system you will get a new IP.. if not call the ISP and request them to make a change.
    It is never really necessary unless you got banned from a site.
    I am on a Windows 8 computer and this is mainly what I want to change the ip for.
    There is no logical link to needing a new public IP to being on a windows 8 computer.
    Explain more about your problem.

  • Airport Express gets confused between two other Airports

    I had to get sure that a whole house of a friend was able to connect to the same wifi-network with apple Airport Express and Extreme.
    There are two Extreme base stations and 4 Express installed, all (but one) are getting the signal out of a Ethernetcable and create the signal itself with the same SSID and password. That works.
    The one which has no acces to a Ethernetcable is extending the signal of the other Stations. Now the problem is, this station is kinda in the middle of two Airport Express base stations, now it switches the source signal and after a while it's not available anymore. On this Express is the Soundsystem, so it's quite annoying when the sound suddenly stopps.
    How could I fix this, since I think it's not possible to fix the source on the device just the network but I want the network in the house to be the same and not having two different SSIDs. Shall I install a ironwall between one of the stations
    Hardware:
    the new Airport Express 2Generation with the latest Firmware 7.6.2
    the new Extreme base Station with latest Firmware 7.6.2
    Thanks for your imput.

  • My Apple Airport Express is blinking Amber and I cannot find it with the utility

    My Apple Airport Express is blinking Amber and I cannot find it with the utility

    Hi, had the same problem -
    1) Connected AE to Time Capsule with Ethernet cable - Configured it  - All worked fine
    2) Removed Ethernet cable between AE og TC - All worked fine
    3) Unpluged my AE from the socket outlet (power off) and pluged it inn where its supposed to be (2m from my Time Capsule)
    4) Now Airport Utility do not find me AE (after all i reconfigured through the Etheret calbe) ????
    A) Seems that Airport Utility are not able to "see" any wireless AE, only configurable by Ethernet Cable.
    B) Seems that AE are not able to reconnect to configured network after a power loss.
    This is a little bit ****** - older airport utility had none of the problems (A and B)

  • Apple AirPort Express Base Station with 802.11n - MB321LL/A. How to set it up to my new iMac

    Community:
    How do you set up an
    Apple AirPort Express Base Station with 802.11n - MB321LL/A how do you set up on Mac running on OS X 10.9.4?
    Please advise
    Fmsalazar

    Apple did say it was important.
    If the units do not show up in the airport utility then you must set it correctly to link-local.
    Steps for OS X Lion or Mountain Lion
    This can happen if IPv6 has been disabled. To enable IPv6 for your network interface:
    Choose Apple menu () > System Preferences, and then click Network.
    If a lock icon appears in the lower-left corner, click it and enter your admin name and password to unlock the pane.
    Click your network service (Wi-Fi or Ethernet) in the list, and then click Advanced.
    Click the TCP/IP tab.
    Choose Link-local only from the Configure IPv6 pop-up menu.
    Click OK.
    Click Apply.
    AirPort base station not seen or "An unexpected error occurred" appears in AirPort Utility 6.3
    Apple rep says the same.
    Re: Unexpected error when connecting Airport Express A1264 to Airport Utility 6.3.1
    I am searching as I saw it in a thread today where a person had issues. (No contribution from me in the thread but found that was the issue).
    It is kind of a fail safe.. since auto can end up with any setting.. and it will depend on the setting of ipv6 in the Airport Router if it works properly in the computer.. setting it to the correct value is one step in sorting out problems when people get in a mess.

  • About My New Apple Airport Express 802.11n Wi-Fi Router

    Yesterday on Saturday after i finshed work I Went out & Bought a New Apple Airport Express 802.11n Wi-Fi Router for My Apple iMac Computer & for My Apple iPhone 5 & Apple TV & I Set it up & everything & everything worked out well so i had a question about it, that Green Solid New Light on Apple Airport Express is it suppose to always stay on even if my Apple iMac Computer is Sleeping like other Wi-Fi Routers??? cause i'm wondering cause it looks Very Nice & White & Shiny & New & i don't really want it to Fail on me cause i do like it & it does not take up a lot of space witch is a good thing so just had to ask???
    how many years will My Apple Airport Express Wi-Fi Router will last for since it's as Big an an Apple TV, just was wondering if this thing is really strong & stuff to like hold out for years time maybe???
    will My Apple Airport Express Wi-Fi Router Software ever get Outdated like my other Wi-Fi Router??? & they stopped making that Belkin Wireless n Router that i had & they stopped Updating it's Software & then The Software became not usable at all so I Had to go out & buy an Apple Airport Express 802.11n Wi-Fi Router.

    Hi Byron,
    on the first question: take a look at your manual; I have a different router, and on it the light stays on all the time, but I don't know if the Airport works the same way. On mine, it simply means that it is on and ready in case you need it. You should worry when there is no light, LOL.
    Second question: with electronics, can't tell at all how long they will be good for. They are made to be compatible with a certain range of devices and software - and will be updated for a while when those devices and softwares are updated. After a while, too many new routers are available with too many new features that are compatible with new devices and softwares, so it's not worth updating the old ones. It's a question of money - they don't want to give you free updates forever, they want you to buy a new piece of equipment.
    Third: yes, it will at some point. Everything technology/electronics related is outdated - some very quickly: you buy a new one and the next week you see an ad for a "new, improved" one. Same principle: they want you to buy again.

  • Apple Airport Express - drops wifi connections after a day or two.....??

    Dear Users,
    Can anyone assist me, I have 2 Apple Airport Express recievers and an Apple TV2 connected to my iMac. The Apple TV is connected via ethernet and a gigabit switch via the BT Infinity Router. The 2 Apple Airport Expresses are connected via wiresles to the BT router.
    Everything works fine, music streams perfectly most of the time.
    But after 24-48 hours of being dorment the Router seems to drop the wireless connections to the Apple Airport Expresses, if you reboot the router they connect again immediatley. I have adjusted the router settings to 802.1n, instead of 802.1n/b/g, which seemed to work better for a few days and the connection never dropped and now the problem has started again.
    Frankly its not the end of the world, but it means I have to reboot the router everytime we want to use all zones for music, which when you have a wife that moans that 'my setup is too complicted and has to be rebooted everytime', it would be great to resolve this for once and all.....
    Have a I missed something simple or do I need a new router/Airport Extreme?
    Thanks in advance
    Matt

    The whole idea here is to test by first powering off your "extending" AirPort.
    Then, take a measurement with your laptop at the location of the "extending" AirPort.....to see what quality of signal that it is receiving.  Remember, it can only "extend" the quality of signal that it receives.
    You would want to see a minimum SNR of 25 at the location of your "extending" AirPort Express.  Higher would be better. If it is less than 25, you need to move the "extending" Express closer to the "main" router so that it will receive a better quality signal to extend.
    Once you have a location with a decent SNR of 25 or higher, then power the "extending" Express back up at that location.

  • Apple Airport Express  N Ethernet connection problems...

    Hello,
    I have just setup my apple airport express to connect to my belkin wireless N router F5D8636-4 v2 via Ethernet. I have turned all the wireless features off on the express as I'm only using it to send music to my DAC. It is assigned I.P by DHCP all other computers are manually asigned I.Ps so no conflicts. My computer is also wired to the router and running windows 7 64bit. It all works great apart from when I turn my P.C off.
    When I turn it back on it cannot find the airport express over LAN until I reset the apple airport express by powering it down and back on. Is this right? Surely not? OR when im finished with my hi-fi should I be turning the apple airport express off?
    Anyone got any suggestions?
    Cheers

    The Express can effectively extend the 2-Wire network if 4 conditions are met during the configuration of the Express to create a wireless network:
    1)  Same wireless network name as the 2-Wire network
    2)  Same wireless network security as the 2-Wire network
    3)  Same password as the 2-Wire network
    4)  Bridge Mode Operation
    Most users know 1) and 3), but 2) is the real key here. If the wireless security setting of the 2-Wire and Express do not match up exactly....then you will have 2 separate wireless networks instead of the seamless network that you desire.
    So, the first question....do you know the exact type of security settings that the 2-Wire router is using?  If not, it is not possible to configure the Express the way that you want without a long trial and error guesswork process.
    You may need to contact your service provider to find out how to access the settings to learn what they are.
    If you do know the exact security settings being used by the 2-Wire router, post back with that info and we can provide a step by step configuration guide if you want.
    I assume that you are using OS X 10.6.8 as your profile indicates.
