Can i connect my hdvt to an airport express unit using an ethernet cable from the tv to the airport expree, thus joining my wireless network for movie downloads
i have a 40 pioneer kuro hdtv with ethernet jack.
i want to connect it to my local airport network. The tv has some kind of "network" capability.
Could i connect by using an airport express to the tv via an ethernet cable;
Sounds unlikely. (tv also has a usb port).
thanks for any advice.

Thanks for reply.
I mostly want to get some youtube videos and also to send some photos to this tv.
would the netgear WNCE2001 allow me then to connect the tv to the local wifi net?

I have bought a new airport express and using it with my macbook (iTunes 10.2.2). I have joined an existing wireless network for internet in my home and with that i am trying to play the music via itunes but there is audio dropouts every 60 secs or so. I am using a set of speakers from kenwood connected to the airport express. The operating system on my macbook is mac os X 10.5.8. i am sure it is not a problem of streaming music online because i have even tried playing music which are stored in my macbook.
Is there any problem with the setting in itunes or quicktime ? Kindly reply...... I am waiting for your valuable suggestion.
Thank you a lot in advance.I am shocked to have found this same AX audio dropout problem starting TODAY, every few seconds the audio just drops for a couple seconds and then resumes: Latest software versions of everything. No iPad, iPhone or Touch. Internet hardwired to D-Link DES1105 (1000baseT Switch) hardwired to new 80211N AX, AX optical to stereo, AX Wi-Fi internet to basic 1st-gen MacBook operating at 80211G, and an older 'G' AX extender at the far end of the house, away from all this. The MacBook streaming iTunes is usually 12 feet from AX. I've used this setup for years of trouble-free AirTunes / Airplay until today. Today I also found 2 very reliable fixes and 1 way to force a dropout, but first, I read some posts and tried ALL following settings one-at-a-time and restored them ALL because NONE of them helped: Turned off IPV6. Streamed to multiple speakers 'Computer' and 'AX' (restored to just AX). Turned off 'Ask to Join new (WiFi) Networks'. Turned off Bluetooth (can't live without Magic Trackpad, so glad that wasn't it). Here's my discoveries: Lo and behold, each time I click the Airport icon in the Menu (you know it shows you've got 4 bars from AX) when the status switches to 'Looking for Networks' for a second it CAUSES the AX audio to drop out for a couple seconds (it never did that before today.) iTunes still playing, streaming, AX laser still lit, but the 'PCM' light on stereo and the sound GOES OUT EVERY time I click the Airport icon in the menubar, just like the regular, annoying dropouts. So, to reduce traffic I quit Safari (3 tabs, no streaming, just Gmail, Google, and Netflix browsing). Lo and behold, the dropouts stopped altogether. No other Web apps going (not iTunes Store, Genius, Ping, nothing), so I launched Chrome to the same 3 tabs and the dropouts HAVE NOT RETURNED. That's right, not only did simply QUITTING SAFARI cure it, and Chrome doesn't contribute to it, but I can demonstrate it just by forcing my Airport to re-scan. Works for me, written using Chrome. The other reliable fix is to hardwire MacBook to the Switch. This is obviously not ideal, but Airplay audio doesn't drop out over Ethernet. Also, in all my tests, it made no difference whether iTunes did the streaming, or Airfoil did.

Multiple AirPort Express units - use more than one at a time?
If I connect three Airport Express units in three different rooms, can I use more than one at a time?
Can I choose to only use 2 out of the 3 at one time?
Thanks.Yes. With iTunes 6.0.2 or later, you can send an AirTunes stream to multiple remote AirPort Express units, provided that each AirPort Express has the latest AirPort firmware. The maximum number of remote AirPort Express units is three to six in typical conditions. The number that works for you will depend on your environmental conditions (such as building composition and local radio interference), distance to the remote AirPort Express units, and available network capacity relative to your other usage.

I have airport express but it is not recognised by either my macbook pro or my ipod on my wireless network. It does not show in airport utility. Might I not have an airport card? How would I know. Airport utility in my mac says no other devices connected.

If both your MacBook Pro and iPod are unable to "see" the Wi-Fi network provided by the AirPort Express, it is most likely NOT that you are missing an "airport card," but the Express may be the issue instead.
One quick test is to see if either device can "see" other Wi-Fi networks. If they can, then you can definately rule both of them out as the issue.
By default, the AirPort Express will broadcast an unsecured Wi-Fi network with a network name of something like: Apple Network NNNNNN. Can either device see this network? If not, then I would recommend that you perform a "factory default" reset on the Express, and then, check again. -
I have just used migration assistant to import photos (using an ethernet cable) from my PC. It has worked but they have gone into a new user on my MacPro. How can I merge them into the one user account.
How many pictures (or how many bytes) are we talking? Now that the pictures are imported one way to cross users is to use a removable drive (although large volumes of files preclude this).
The other is to login as the user where the pictures are, then copy them into the public drop box of the user where you want the picture.
The arrow is showing (in ths example) copy files from the Pictures folder for my user to the guest user accounts public dropbox. When you do this you may have to authenticate and you won't be able to see the results of the copy until you log in as the other user.
All users are in the folder "/Users/" -
I cannot access my Apple TV in WiFi mode. I have used it previously, but it keeps saying it is not connected to the network. My broadband is running. I was able to access Apple TV using an Ethernet cable. I have entered the wireless password as confirmed by my ISP without any success.
Hi,
Thanks for trying to solve my problem. It appears that the password I was inserting was incorrect. I now have access.
Thanks again. -
I've tried other routers in place of the airport and they work fine, but I really want to use the airport instead due to the wireless speaker addition.
I assumed that you have already tried using different "known good" Ethernet cables, just in case the one you have now is faulty ... correct?
Assuming the answer is "yes," the other option would be to perform a complete power recycle of your networking gear. This is something that should be performed whenever making network equipment changes.
Please try the following:
I would recommend that you do the following as a minimum:
Power-down the modem, AirPort base station, and computer(s).
While all of the devices are powered-down, perform a "factory default" reset on the base station. This will get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration and make setting it up much easier, especially if you use the "Assist me" process within the AirPort Utility. (ref: Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule)
After the base station resets, go ahead and power it back down.
Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes.
Power-up the base station; wait at least 5-10 minutes.
Power-up your computer(s).
In this basic configuration, computers connected to the base station, either by wire or wireless (as appropriate for the base station type), should now be able to access the Internet through the ISP's modem. Once Internet connectivity has been verified, you can use the AirPort Utility to configure the base station for wireless security and any other desired options. -
Can an Airport Express be used to transmit directly from a preamp to an amp
I wish to connect my stereo system to a remote amp powering ceiling speakers about 50 ft away from the main system. Is there a way to put one Airport Express on the amp for receiving the signal and another on the preamp output RCA plugs.
If your need to use the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) to extend the motorpark's wireless, then the answer (most likely) is no. This is because, unless the motorpark's Wi-Fi router is another AirPort, most non-AirPort routers are not compatible to do so.
However, if your intent is just to add the AX as a wireless client, for streaming iTunes and/or share a USB printer, then it may be possible if you know the Network Name (SSID) and encryption password (if one is used) of the router you are connecting to., -
Can I connect my HP 4200tn Printer to my iMac using an ethernet/usb adapter
Here's my situation...PLEASE HELP! I have an HP Laserjet 4200tn printer that I'm trying to hook up to my iMac. The HP printer has an ethernet port, but I can't use the iMac ethernet port directly because it's being used for my dsl. I talked to the guys at the apple store & they told me to buy a usb/ethernet adapter from them(so here's the path...HP ethernet port to usb/ethernet adapter to usb port on the iMac). What's next? I'm assuming downloading the driver from HP but then what...I'm not a computer genius but I can find my way around a keyboard...PLEASE HELP!
If the adapter works with the printer, and you can get a recent and proper
driver from the HP support or downloads page, it should be able to print.
And there may be alternative drivers from gimp-print open source.
There also are powered ethernet hubs you can get, so all things ethernet
can be run from the main port on the computer and not be underpowered.
In fact, I have one in a box I don't use just yet because I can run my Epson
printer via USB over my AirPort Express (or AirPort Extreme) base station
and then the other printer, an all-in-one HP OfficeJet something, can run by
wire; since it won't work as a Bonjour printer and isn't seen as an option.
Some are supported and others may be conditionally able to work in these
different situations; so you may have to change your plans if a powered
Ethernet bridge, or whatever, becomes a second option; or other ideas fail.
The options include using the printer as USB, ethernet, or wireless; and
the latter may include the need to choose a compatible wireless bridge
or a wired Ethernet powered hub. And then seeing if you can get the
printer setup to see the printer when configured in whatever selection
or setup you've chosen to use can be equally ufn (unfun.)
If I wanted to run the HP I have by ethernet, it could do it; but you have to
note these things get an ID like the internet, sort of, if you use Ethernet.
Some adapters work and others may not; so it could be a hit & miss trial.
And some say there are advantages to the Ethernet if used on a network.
Good luck & happy computing! -
Airport Express won't see ethernet cable and internet
I have just connected to new ISP. Airport was working perfectly before. I try to connect new modem to airport with ethernet cable and the Airport utility says nothing is connected to the ethernet WAN port and keeps telling me to plug it in but it is...I have hard reset, and rebooted everything... I am at a loss. Do I need to change IP addresses or DNS server addresses? I connect the ethernet direct to my macbook and the internet works perfectly, but I plug the ethernet into the airport and it doesn't see it. Can someone please help me, the ISP's advice is buy a router from them... but I have used airport for many years on different ISP's and they have worked. Does anyone have a suggestion besides rebooting and the paperclip?
Sorry, I am not familar with this product, but maybe some other users who have used the same product can help.
IF you have not yet performed a full Factory Default Reset on the AirPort Express, that might be a good idea, as a Hard Reset will not return the AirPort Express back to factory fresh settings.
To do this....
Power off the AirPort Express for a few minutes
Hold in the reset button first, and keep holding it for an additional 9-10 seconds while you simultaneously plug the Express back in to power
Release the reset button after the hold period and allow a full minute for the Express to restart
It is unusual for the WAN port to fail, but if you continue to see the message about no connection at the WAN port, that is likely what has happened.
If you have an Apple Store in your area, you might want to take the Express to them to let them have a look. -
i have my cisco E1000 as a router at the moment, just bought airport express for an extender.
is it possible to do it? thx guysNo, not unless you connect the two with an Ethernet cable and configure the Express as a bridge.
Consider replacing the Cisco router with the Express. The Express conveys advantages over the E1000. -
The PC keeps saying "Waiting for your Mac to Connect" and the Mac keeps saying "Looking for Computer" I have no clue what to do.
I suspect you didn't follow the Migration Assistant instructions. Please carefully look over:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4796?viewlocale=en_US
If you still cannot get it give AppleCare a call, the number is in your owner's manual. You have 90 days of free telephone support when you purchase a new Mac. They can assist on the OS X side but remember they may not speak MS Windows. -
IPhone 5s connect to airport express but when I play in iTunes no option to pick airport ?
iPhone 5s connect to airport express but when I play in iTunes no option to pick airport ?
If anyone would like to know how to fix this, I discovered the answer.
I have no idea what IPv6 is and I care not, but apparently now, all of a sudden, Apple makes iTunes talk to Airport Express units using IPv6. However, it didnt bother to make the Airport Express units expect this first, so iTunes can see the Airport Express, but it cant talk to it.
Anyway, I found that you have to manually go into your Mac settings (scary stuff if you are a non technical person like me) and turn off IPv6.
To do this, go to "Finder > Go > Utilities > Terminal"
type
networksetup -setv6off Wi-Fi (hit enter)
Then type
networksetup -setv6off Ethernet (hit enter)
and magically your iTunes will talk to your Airport Express units again.
I presume at some point we will have to undo this as technology moves on and everything uses IPv6, so when that happens go into Terminal again and type
networksetup -setv6automatic Wi-Fi (hit enter)
Then type
networksetup -setv6automatic (hit enter)
Thanks Apple for that. -
I'm trying to get on the internet and it is saying unable to connect to your server any ideas what I have to do to get on the internet I know the ethernet cable is OK.
Disconnect the ethernet cable from your mac,
disconnect the modem and the router from the power,
wait for at least 30 seconds,
connect the power to the modem, wait for at least thirty seconds,
connect the power to the D-Link, wait for at least thirty seconds,
connect the ethernet cable to the mac. -
Can this be done? Airport extreme connected wireless in extend mode to connect a wireless Mac Pro with an ethernet cable from the extended airport extreme.
This will work.....IF....you also have an Apple AirPort router configured to provide your wireless network.
In other words, you need to have two Apple AirPort routers to extend a wireless network.
When the AirPort Extreme is configured to "extend" the wireless of the "main" AirPort, it will provide more wireless coverage and the Ethernet ports are enabled, so you could connect your Mac Pro to any of the Ethernet ports and use that as a network and Internet connection.
