Can I iTunes to Airport Express while surfing internet from Base Station

I am new to Macs and Networking. I have DSL ethernet plugged into Airport Extreme Base Station and Express into my stero. I have set up a network pointing to each but when I choose the Express network for streaming music, I cannot connect to the internet which is on my Base station. Is there a network configuration that will do both. Working w/a new Powerbook G4. Mac OS 10.4. Thanks for any help.

OW, Welcome to the discussion area!

2nd Airport Express wont show up in Base Station Chooser, iTunes

Hi, I have 2 Airport Express units on the same network. One is showing up, the other is not. Both were working perfectly. I recently upgraded my router to a Linksys BEFSR41. When I run the Base Station Chooser, one shows up the other does not. The same happens in iTunes. I can address the Airport Express by chooser Other from Base Station Chooser, then entering its IP address. I updated firmware in both units to 6.3. Both units are configured identically. If I access the hidden airport express from a wireless PC it shows up fine but the other one does not

Thank you for your post, but I do not understand why you are giving me a link to the generic airport express site. The configuration I have was working fine before I upgraded my router.

Can you use 2 Aiport Express's; one as a base station & one to extend range

I have 2 Express units. Would like to use one as base station and one as a booster to extend the signal. Can this be done, or do you have to have an Extreme? I have 2 expresses as want to be able to use airtunes on 2 seperate stereos (not necessarily at same time). My cofig would be have cable modem ethernetted to the 1st Express, and have it also hooked to cable; computer in same room. 2nd Express is downstairs, near anohter stereo. Would like the one computer to send airtunes to both stereos ultimately.
Have tried using airport admin utility ap in the Utilities folder, but did not seem to help; no doubt I may have not done properly.
Thank you to the genius who can help me w/ this. Tim

I have 2 Express units. Would like to use one as base
station and one as a booster to extend the signal.
Can this be done
Yes.
Configure one Airport Express (AX) as a normal base station.
Hard reset the second and reconfigure using the assistant to extend the network of the first, this will automatically configure both AXs correctly.

Can I use a airport express to get internet connection to a Mac Mini that doesn't have wireless by adding it to my existing wireless network?

I bought a first gen Mac Mini for our daughter and it doesn't have internal airport adapter and was wondering if I got a airport express can I plug it in my daughters room and use it as a local router and just use the eithernet connect from it. Or would a airport extreme work better for this job. I have a wireless cable modem that we connect to. I also have a second question I have a iMac G4 that picks up the wireless signal but will not connect to it does it have to be a Apple airport for it to work or should it be able to connect to any broadcasted signal. Thanks for the help.

I'm not sure I quite understand. Do you wish to use the AEX to provide a wireless connection for a device that has an Ethernet port but no wireless capability of its own? You wish to use it in place of a wireless card that isn't internally installed? If so, the answer is, "Yes." It will work as a wireless access point. But you must have an extant wireless network because the AEX won't have an Internet connection when used in this way.
If you have an existing wireless network with a wireless router connected to your cable/DSL model or your modem is a wireless router as well, then the AEX may connect to it in bridge mode. Note that AEXs don't always play nice with non-Apple routers. Some work; others don't.

Airport Express Model A1264 - No configured base stations found

Hello,
I've searched the forums for an answer but without luck. Here is the background. An electrical storm this summer blew out my old modem and so got a new Actiontec C1000A modem to use with my Century Link service. It has the WPS button on the front. I have the Airport Express Model A1264 1st Gen n-model that I use for streaming music. It sits in my living room and is connected to my receiver so I can stream items from my iPhone or iPad when the receiver is in "Dock" mode.
With the new modem I can't resolve the flashing amber light. I have reset it numerous times with a paper clip but with no luck. The Airport Utility (6.3.1) simply gives me a "No configured Airport base stations have been found. Airport Utility will continue searching" message. The Airport Utility shows I'm connected to the internet with a router address and DNS server numbers. In the Base Station drop down menu in the Airport Utility, all of the options are grey.
I'm running Mac OS X 10.7.5.
Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.

Are you holding down the reset button on the AirPort Express for 10 seconds, then allowing a full minute for the Express to restart?
Once the Express has been reset, it will not simply "appear" in AirPort Utility....if that is what you are expecting it to do......you have to initiate the setup process.
Click on the AirPort icon at the top of the Mac's screen and wait a few seconds for a listing of New AirPort Base Station to appear.
Just below that, click directly on AirPort Express
AirPort Setup will open up automatically and suggest that you configure the Express to "extend" a wireless network. That probably will not work, so click on Other Options and select the Add to a Network option to get the process started.
Assuming that the Actiontec modem/router is using compatible settings, the AirPort will be setup to "join" the Actiontec wireless network

AirPort Express getting a leak from FM station

Hey people, I's sure this is a no brainer but I would like to confirm.
I am using express to itunes and airfoil for other programs, but I am geting a leak from a radio station. I have a phone filter that I thought would help but that did not. i created a closed network and that did not work.Can anyone point out filters or somtething that might get rid of the extra sound coming from speakers. Any help would be great.

I'm assuming you're connecting via analog to your speakers and not optically. My guess is a ground loop. Radio Shack sells ground loop isolators that might help; it plugs inline with the audio cable. If it doesn't work, Radio Shack has a reasonable return policy.

Streaming Itunes to Airport Express

I am able to stream itunes on Airport Express while also using my computer to access the internet via an Airport Extreme Network. I am also able to do the same at a vacation home which uses a Linksys network. However, when using the office network (small private office) with secured wireless access, which I have he access to, the itunes will only work on the wireless network if selected network is chosen on the banner bar at top of the desktop. The system sees both wireless networks (the Airport Express & the office wireless network). I was actually surprised that I could stream music to the express and still maintain a separate connection for internet simulteanously. I would like to be able to have the sam capability for the office as I do at home and the vacation home, any advice??

you can only stream music to an airport express if you have selected that network from your list under the airport icon at the top of your screen... so if you have selected your itunes network then you obviously can't also be part of another wireless network to use the internet. The only way to do this is to make your itunes network a part of the network which is used to access the web. Airport express has profiles which enable you to setup multiple settings so when you take your airport into the office, reconfigure the airport using airport admin and have it 'join' your office network and make sure you give it the same network name as your office one. Then from your airport network list select the name and you will be able to both listen to music and surf.

Can't even select AirPort Express in iTunes

For whatever reason, the remote speakers are listed in my iTunes, but I can't even select it. It won't connect and it won't even let me choose to try to connect to them... but they are shown as an option. What gives? You can select and play through my other Mac computers, but not this one. Does anyone have any thoughts as to what is going on?
Thank you in advance...

Welcome Albert.Pang,
Have you tried to power cycle your Airport Express? Unplugged it from its power source and wait 10 seconds and plug it back in and wait 3 minutes and try Airport Admin Utility again.
or
Have you tried to reset your Airport Express? While plugged in to its power source take a paper clip and push the little button next to the Audio Port and hold it in for 10 seconds. Unplugged the Airport Express from its power source and wait 10 seconds and plug it back in. Now you will have to use Airport Setup Assistant again.
I hope this helps....

If you're on the company network, you should ask the network administrator for help.

Audio stream from airport express while watching a music video on laptop

Hello,
Can anyone help with instructions to have the audio portion of an itunes purchased video stream across the airport express while the video plays on the macbook. It seems to work fine with all of the music files but in trying to watch a video i purchased the audio will only play through the macbook. Any help is appreciated

Hello ehende2. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Sorry, but you won't be able to do this as this is a limitation of iTunes/AirTunes.

Error message when I try to stream iTunes over Airport Express

When I try to stream iTunes over Airport Express, I get an error message: An unknown error (-15006) occurring while connecting to the remote speaker. This just started happening since I upgraded to iTunes 9. Is there a fix?

Can I use an Airport Express to extend a network using a Bwrg500 router?

Can I use my Airport Express to extend my wireless network while using a Bountiful BWRG500 wireless router? The Bountiful wireless router has the WDS abilities.
http://www.bountifulwifi.com/Products/BountifulRouter500G/Overview.aspx
Thank you for looking.

It is in fact possible to extend your network using WDS. I say this under the assumption that your statement regarding the WDS capabilities of the Bwrg router is correct. However, keep in mind that you cannot use a WPA or WPA2 password with a WDS extended network. You must either use no encryption or use WEP. Unfortunately some routers require WEP passwords that use either 10 or 26 digits ONLY while the express uses a 13 digit password.
This can be a troubling problem considering that most people need a wifi password to ensure safe and secure browsing.

Can stream music to Airport express from Mac, but not windows

I set up an Airport express for music streaming from a pc at my uncle's, and he used it without issue for 1-2 years. It suddenly stopped working for him, and was flashing amber. I was unable to configure wirelessly, but finally configured it with my Mac and an Ethernet cable.
We are able to stream music to it now, wirelessly, from my Mac. But neither his windows 7 pc, nor his windows 8 pc can stream to it. The airport does not show up on iTunes on either computer. Also, airport utility on the pc does not see the device.
I have tried everything I can think of: different settings on the airport, disabling firewalls on the pc, etc.
Is there a way to get this working for him again?

Bump again.
I'm also running into this problem. I have an Actiontec MI424WR and an Airport Extpress A1084.
When using WPA or WPA2, the AE can't seem to connect to the Actiontec. Has anyone found a solution to this?
Side note, I had been using a Netgear WNDR3800 as a wireless access point plugged into the (wifi disabled) Actiontec. In this configuration the AEs connected fine, but my network performance was pretty awful. In trying to troubleshoot, I'm removing the Netgear device from the picture to simplify. Now that I've enabled the wifi on the Actiontec, all my other devices (iphones, ipads, computers) connect fine, just not the AE's.
Thanks for any advice.

Can i use my Airport Express (2nd generation) instead of a Sonos Connect

I have an Airport Epress (2nd generation) and want to use it instead of buying another Sonos Connect At the moment my Sonos Connect is hooked up to my Bose Solo as part of my Sonos audio system around the house. i want to move the Solo to the dining room but keep the Connect in the living room hooked up to my CD player. Instead of buying another Connect for the Bose can i use the Airport Express that i have spare and config it to use like the Connect.
Can anyone help??
Barry

Yes, and no. You can connect the Bose speaker to the AirPort Express, and then, stream iTunes via AirPlay to the Express.
I believe Sonos uses a different audio streaming protocol than AirPlay. You cannot directly stream from a Sonos server to the Express. For that you will need one of the Sonos solutions.
