pls help me.
Thanks

i have an airport express version 6.3 which i can not configure with my airport utility software nor update.
Philly_Phan has good advice for you as far as keeping things simple, but if your current operating system on your Mac will not support the older Express model that you have.....as I suspect is the case here.....it is going to take more than simplicity to solve your issue.
You did not tell us what operating system you are running on your Mac, but a guess would be Mountain Lion. Can you confirm on that?
If you do not know what operating system you are using on your Mac, click the Apple icon at the upper left corner of the screen and then click on About This Mac. Post back with the OS X version number that you see there.

Airport utility can not find my airport express...
I was trying to connect a PC (Windows XP) laptop to my wireless network via the airport express.
I have a Mac with an airport that I use to get internet in my other room. I am trying to get internet on the laptop too.
I somehow manage to erase my network & now my airport utilities won't even scan/recognize my airport??
ANY help would be appreciated, mac helpline wanted $59 to help & I live in a small northern community where they do not have anyone that will address a Mac issue!!
Thanks for your time.

Thank you SO MUCH Tesserax for taking the time to help!
I powered everything down, slowly powered everything else up from the modem to the airport then the computer. I then reset the airport & rescaned it through utilities. I set up a new network & voila! wireless up & running again.
I am going to try to connect the laptop to the network now.....well, mabey tomorrow night, I've had enough for 1 evening!
I will update....or possibly be begging for more help...we'll see!
Thanks again for your time!

I can not configure my airport express

Hi everyone, I'm currently in China and I bought and Airport express just to have a bit more signal in my dorm, however it's been 2 days and I can not configure my airport express everything seems find until the point that I choose join to an existing network and then choose my college and it get stuck for almost 20 min and after it says something about an error, then I switch off and it no longer recognized the airport it keeps looking for and airport base. Please what should I do?

The AirPort Express cannot wirelessly "extend" or "repeat" the wireless signal from another router.....unless that other router is an Apple product.
It is highly unliklely...but possible.....that the dorm would be using another Apple router to provide the wireless service.
The Express is really designed to connect to an Ethernet wall port using a short Ethernet cable connection. When you do it this way, the Express can be set up to provide your own private wireless network in the room.

Since upgrading to Yosemite I can not run my airport express' without having to reset each of them every time I wish to use them. Does anyone know what the problem is?

I am running a 7 year old MacBook Pro 15. Since upgrading to Yosemite I can not run my airport express' without having to reset each of them every time I wish to use them. I did not have this problem with Mavericks OSX. Does anyone know what the problem is and is there a fix?

I can not update my installed apps from the App Store Update page. I can individually update from the App Store Purchased page. I tried a soft reset but still unable. Any suggestions?

You are doing all that you cn do right now other than to update the apps in iTunes on your computer and sync them to the iPad.
There has been a problem with the App Store updates tab for a few days now and we are all waiting for Apple to fix it.
Look at all of the discussions on the iPad forum that are talking about this right now.

Itunes will not stream to airport express from iMac. It will work from and HP laptop any reason why?

Problem with Itunes on the iMac. I bought airport express to setream music to my stereo. When I set it up on the iMac (using an ethernet connection) it dropped my internet connection on the router. When I use the Wifi it just times out. I tried using the airport express from my laptop, it worked just fine. I called apple for support and they have not beeen able to help, and I am now 79 dollars in the hole because they suggested I call cisco. I have also spent 6 hours on the phone. any Help would be appreciated.

I got it to work. Turns out there are a few steps that should be taken during the install of ariport express. We have 4 users on our iMac, one being the Administrator, one a guest, and 2 users. After I closed all the applications for each users and logged them off, I was able to connect sucessfully to Airport Express and stream music to my Stereo. Seams simple, but someting we did not look at in my 6 hour marathon yesterday trying to find the reason it did not work.

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.

I am trying to find out if I can upgrade my old airport express from WEP to WPA2? If so, how do I do that?

I am trying to find out if my old Airport Express can be upgraded from WEP to WPA2? If so, does anyone know how to do this? I have a new PC for work reasons and I cannot get online with my WEP password. I realize now this is why my family and friends who bring PC's into the house cannot connect - I need WPA2 for PC, and besides, I should upgrade anyway as this is more secure than WEP. Thanks for any help!

Clone your system.
Install the 10.6.8 Java update.
Clone back from your clone you made before installing the update when finished.

ITunes can not find my airport express

Hi I'm having a lot of issues trying to setup my airport express.
It's wired to my 3com router, on my computer, using airport utility 5.6.1 for windows, I can manually access to the airport express configuration, but the automatic scan can't find it. I put it on bridge mode.
With the computer I can connect wiressly to the airport express or the router (on both cases I can use the ip of the airport expess to access it).
Itunes refuses to find it. On the airport express I enabled the airplay check and on itunes the " allow itunes audio control from remote speakers".
What else do I need to do to listen to my itunes music from the speakers connected to my airtunes express?
Thanks.

I was able to fix it, the problem was that I used a VM and the virtual ethernet connected to the airport was not the same as the one mapped to the wireless connection.

Can I update my airport express station so I can connect to it with the newest airport utility?

the airport express worked with my old computer which had snow leopard. I just recently upgraded and got a new MacBook with mavericks and it won't let me connect to the airport. Any solutions to this problem without buying a new airport?

Unfortunately, updating the older Express that you have would require that you literally change all of the hardware on the device. Even if the parts were available....Apple does not offer them......it would likely cost more to "update" your old Express than buy a new Express.
You can use....or borrow for a few minutes....another Mac running Leopard or Snow Leopard, or a PC with AirPort Utility installed on the device to administer the older AirPort.

Airplay not working on Airport Express N in Extended Network

Hi
I have a setup as in the diagram below. Internet Router connected to my Airport Express N which creates a N-class network. Then I have an Time Capsule in another room that extends this network. My iMac is connected to this Time Capsule using Ethernet (WiFi is turned off completely).
iTunes is 10.6.1 (7)
Airport Express and Time Capsule have the latest firmware (v7.6.1)
Internet, sharing and other functions are working fine, just Airplay from the iMac doesn't work anymore to the Airport Express. I've tried lots of solutions, and this just seems to be broken. I've submitted to Apple feedback as well explaining the situation and that this doesn't work.
If I add/remove a password or enable/disable airplay on the Express, it does reflect in iTunes. It also shows that the Airplay is locked/unlocked (see image) and also shows it as a visible audio destination. But when you activate it from iTunes, it doesn't ask for any password (if enabled), but it just displays the "connecting" dialog for about 1 minute and then closes the window without any error and just does nothing. It's like iTunes cannot communicate to the Airport Express, although at the same time I can connect to it's internal configuration (edit) and also connect to the internet, my router's config using a browser, etc. without any problems. Also, if I'm using my iPad and iPhone, I can easily use the Airport Express from those devices, but NOT from the iMac.
I'm thinking Apple broke Airplay in this type of scenario.
Anyone with any ideas. I have a big hot paperweight called an Airport Express plugged into the wall in my bedroom now.

My problem is similar but not always the same. I have a Time Capsule extended by an Airport Express which in turn is connected to my hifi. My Imac is connected to the TC by Ethernet alone - no wifi. The connection from the TC to my AE is done by a mains wiring ethernet connection which works superbly for TV streaming etc. However, sometimes when I try to connect to the AE for music, I get an error message whicg says that is not possible to connect to the Airplay device. If I restart the Imac, it connects immediately and without problem and will run for as long as I want. Once stopped, I then get the error messge again until I restart.

.local indicates local activity by the computer host Williams-macbook-pro.local=hostname@domain . The UID of 501 is the standard UID of a local computer administrator.
Copy and paste this little script in your terminal:
if [ "SSH_CONNECTION ]; then
echo I am remote
else
echo I am local
fi
A return of "i am local" ensures there is no remote connection to your machine (through SSH).
In the future, to avoid remote entry, I would recommend not posting your IP address though.
