Can I plug Air Port Express into 110 extension cord

can I plug Air Port Express into extension cord or a power strip?

Yes, just be sure that the AirPort Express is not buried down behind a desk or cabinet where its signal will be compromised.

Sure.
I live in central Florida, lightning captial of the US, and wouldn't plug anything electronic into the wall directly.
My Airport Extreme (and external HD attached to it, and cable modem) are plugged-in to one; my iMac, external HD, and answering machine to a second; and my cable box and TV into a third.

HT1515 Can I use Air Port express as a signal extender for SKY Broadband router in UK?

Can I use Air Port express as a signal extender for SKY Broadband router in UK?

You are going to have to turn OFF Wifi on the Sky router device so its just a modem.
String an Ethernet cable off of the Sky router to an Apple Airport/Time Capsule device and have that create a stable WiFi network.
Using WDS protocols you can now add additional Apple Airport expresses as needs be to extend the Wifi signal area.
In theory you should able to extend an existing network however inter-operability between differing manufacturers is flaky at best.
Caveat using extenders Will degrade the performance of your network.
So its going to be more expensive - Need Two Airport devices and you my need support in creating the network (you may have to log in to the Sky provided routers advanced settings in the Java Control Panel and from a web browser to turn off features such as Wifi and IP addressing)
You may be better contacting Sky as they may actually have a compatible network extender (BT certainly do for their Home Broadband routers) available.

Can I plug the airport express into 220v?

I want to buy the airport express to use in Manila which has 220v standard. Can I plug the airport express directly or should I use a power transformer?
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Toni

It is a worldwide capable, auto-ranging 100 ~ 240v device - you just need the right cable/adapter. Apple sells a travel adapter kit if you need one.

Can i use an air port express on the road when im travelling

Hi
I am going away on hoiladays and wondering if my apple air port express will work if i just plug

It can, but only very slowly since the iPhone power adapter doesn't put out as much current. If you only have room for one adapter, take the iPad adapter.

If you are running OS X 10.7.2 then you will be able to use AirPort Utility 5.6.
Leopard, Snow Leopard: AirPort Utility 5.5.3.
Tiger: AirPort Utility 5.3.2
Panther: AirPort 4.2

Air port express can not been accessed

My OSX has been upgraded to 10.7.4, and use Air port express as my AP, my iPhone and iPad(even non-Apple product) can access the AP, but my Mac book pro can not access it, even airport utility can not find it. But the AP is shown on the menu bar on the top screen and can not be selected.
Sometime a dialog box displayed to ask for password. But I keyed in correct password and it shows connection timeout.

"Pulling" a folder refers to basically moving (or renaming) a folder that holds preference data that the OS will recreate if it can't find it. For instance, anything in the ~/Library/Preferences folder. It's useful when trying to isolate software issues because often these problems are just as a result of corrupted preference files.
When dealing with network preferences, the stuff you want is in /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration. That is to say, the ROOT library, accessed by going Finder>Go>Computer>Mac HD.
If you rename this whole folder to SystemConfiguration.old and then restart, the OS will create a fresh folder, which often resolves OS-related networking issues. From that point, you can either delete the SystemConfiguration.old folder, or name it back and then delete the new one if you want to start trying to individually isolate what went wrong.
If nothing changes at all when you rename or move the SystemConfiguration folder, then you're likely looking at some nasty interference issues. Try changing the channel on your Airport Express.

Air Port Express and Comcast

I have been trying with no success to get a connection with my Air Port Express and my comcast DSL internet. I am able to connect with a direct ethernet connection however, I don't want to be using my computer in my bed room all the time and would like the freedom. Does anyone know how to help me out. I spoke with Comcast they won't help as it is not their product...please anyone...

Unplug the modem from the power. Reset the AX to its factory defaults and reconfigure the base station using the AirPort Admin Utility. Your connection is via Ethernet and DHCP (your Comcast service is cable, not dsl, is it not?). If it is dsl, the connection method should be PPPoE. Tell the base station to distribute IP addresses using DHCP. Make sure your computer System Preferences>Network has PPPoE DISABLED. Plug the modem into the ethernet port of the AX. Now power up the modem. Can you connect?

Air port express and ipad, iphone, apple tv

i have my audio speakers plgged into my 3 air port express for 3 rooms in my house. when i use my old apple tv, i can play my music on all 3. however, on my ipad, itouch and mac computers, i can only do one at a time. Why?

The iPod Touch does not have the "Multiple" speakers function.
You only get one choice.
I have 3 Airport Express units and this is just the way Apple has it setup for the iPod Touch.
You should be able to choose all 3 on your Mac.
Look at the bottom right of your iTunes window and you should be able to choose multiple speakers.

I bought a Air Port Express device from Apple yesterday. We decided to set the Air port device in a room near the router to use as a wifi extender to areas of the house where the signal is weak. In our discussion with Josh, the Apple Rep. he explained how it can either be connector to the router or use in another room relying on the existing wifi signal to extend it further into the house. We have verizon DSL. Our town is very small...no cable provided so we are lucky to have what we have...some areas of our town can't even get what we have. We, didn't want to connect it directly to the Verizon device (router)....we followed the directions from Josh as well as the explicit directions provided by Apple support...it didn't work. We keep getting an error message. Does anyone have any advice ? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Please speak in "Laymen's terms" I am not technically savy....but..am determined to get this set up. Thanks to anyone, in advance!

In our discussion with Josh, the Apple Rep. he explained how it can either be connector to the router or use in another room relying on the existing wifi signal to extend it further into the house.
Unfortunately, it appears that Josh was not aware that the AirPort Express can only "extend" a wireless signal from another Apple router.
From Apple's literature:
Extend an existing Wi-Fi network’s range.
If you already have a wireless network in your home and want to extend its range, AirPort Express can help. Just place it in range of your primary base station — an AirPort Extreme, Time Capsule, or another AirPort Express — and near the area where you want your wireless connection. Launch the easy-to-use AirPort Utility app on your iOS device or Mac, and you’re mere minutes away from long-range Wi-Fi enjoyment.
The AirPort Express is not compatible with a Verizon product for this purpose.
Your might want to have another conversation with Josh to ask his advice on how best to proceed at this point.
If you do decide to keep the AirPort Express, it will be necessary to connect it to your Verizon router using a wired Ethernet cable connection if you want the Express to provide more wireless signal coverage.

Air Port Express Audio drop Out Problem

Hi I have just brought an Air Port Express home and spent the evening setting it up which went relatively smoothly, but once tested using the Optical out into an Musical Fidelity V3 X Dac (Digital to Analog Converter) the sound persistently jitters making music unlistenable,using conventional 3.5mm stereo jack output works fine it only seems to be on the optical.
Have read as much as I can find of use on the net but it seems either the optical out is faulty or incompatible with this DAC or some people have mentioned it might be the latest version of I tunes all my soft-wear is up to date.
Does anyone have a solution or should I return it or will anyone at Apple no what I`m talking about in the shop I got the impression they didn`t know anything about the Optical out.
Any Help greatfully recieved.

You will need to try several different optical cables as they vary tremendously in their signal integrity. It is not unusual to see two identical cables from the same manufacturer perform very differently. Check out the store's return policy and try several different cables to see if you can find the right combination.

Air Port Express Power

I have an Air Port Express and it does not seem to turn on anymore. I have it plugged into a surge protector. I plugged into a wall socket and it still does not turn on. Any Ideas?

You should bring it into an Apple store to be looked at.

Air Port Express Admin Utility - Wanted!

Hello all,
My Air Port Express has been running OK since I bought it about three weeks ago. It's connected to my hi-fi amp and the connection has worked (apart from some nasty harmonic distortion which I'm still trying to get rid of, but that's another issue).
However, the amber light on my AirPort is now flashing continuously and I cannot connect, even when I plugged the unit in right next to the PC. Now, here's a Catch-22: to find out more information about the error I need to consult the AirPort software. But.....I could not install the software from the CD as it doesn't run under Windows 2000, which is what I have.
The AirPort Express spec page says that to run the software under Windows 2000 I need to install the Air Port Admin utility, version 4.0 or later.
I have searched the Apple site for this and then the rest of the net but i CANNOT find anywhere I can download this software from.
Can anybody help me?
I must emphasise that I am specifically looking for the AirPort Express Admin Utility V4.0 or later (apparently) to run under Windows 2000, not the actual AirPort software as that will not install under Win 2000.
Thanks in advance
Andy

Thanks very much for your reply.
If you go to the AirPort spec page:
http://www.apple.com/airportexpress/specs.html
..and read footnote (1), it says:
"AirPort Express Assistant is not compatible with Windows 2000. To setup AirPort Express from a Windows 2000 computer, you must use AirPort Admin Utility for Windows version 4.0 or later."
This is the software I am looking for, but this is the ONLY reference to it I can find anywhere.
Regarding the CD that came with my AirPort, the whole point is that it will not install under Win 2000, only XP. I therefore have no AirPort software installed on my PC. You don't need the AirPort software to use Airport; you really only need it to configure the unit and troubleshoot when you have problems. Which is what I have now!
In case the above footnote has the version number wrong, can you give me a link to the 3.2 version?
Many thanks
Andy

You may have no need for additional but Apple does. They don't want your iTunes account to be hacked and then go complaining to them that their security procedures are not up to standards.

Its really absurd to even ask this in light of the information that you have been given already. The "old fashioned" way is gone. It's Apple's store, Apples's rules and IMO - its a wise decision on Apple's part.
You do not have to comply at all, but you will not be able to purchase from iTunes anymore, but nobody is going to force you to do something that you do not want to do.
