Can't connect from iphone to airport express

Plugged airport express into wall outlet. Blinking yellow light. Tried to connect to airport express through iphone. Iphone says "cannot be set up by this"

If it's an older 802.11b/g router you can't use the AirPort Utility on iPhone to configure it. Use the AirPort utility for Mac or Windows. You have many more configuration options using the desktop software as well. The utility on the iPhone is very basic.

  • Can i transmit music from iphone to airport express without being connected to internet?

    can i transmit music from iphone to airport express without being connected to internet? just from phone to express via local network or whatever it's called.

    Do you mean Lan cable? Can this be done wirelessly from itunes to airport express without the internet connections?  I can't connect to an airport express that's not connected to the internet.

  • Can't connect (wireless) to my Airport Express anymore with iBook, iPad or iPhone.

    Can't connect (wireless) to my Airport Express anymore with iBook, iPad or iPhone. It still recognizes the printer on the iBook (bonjour), but not on my Windows notebook (work). The only device that still connects via wireless is the PlayStation 3.

    The latest firmupdate solved the issue.

  • Can I connect an A1084 model Airport Express using current version of Airport Utility

    Can I connect an A1084 model Airport Express using current version of Airport Utility?

    You will need an older 5.x version of AirPort Utility to be able to administer the older AirPort Express.  That would mean that you need to have....or be able to borrow for 10-15 minutes......a Mac running Leopard (10.5.x), Snow Leopard (10.6.x), or a PC with AirPort Utility installed on the device.

  • Can't stream music from iPhone to airport express when connected to internet

    I have an issue with my airport express. When the unit is used solely for streaming music from my IPhone to connected stereo speakers without an Ethernet cable attached it works fine.  When I attach an Ethernet cable to the airport express and connect to the Internet on my iPhone, the airport express will no longer stream music from the iPhone. This is a recent problem, previously I was able to access the Internet on my iPhone from the airport express, whilst simultaneously streaming music from the iPhone back to the airport express.

    Do you mean Lan cable? Can this be done wirelessly from itunes to airport express without the internet connections?  I can't connect to an airport express that's not connected to the internet.

  • Can't connect to an extended Airport Express?

    My network is set up in the following way (see photo) 1 Time Capsule + 2 Airport Express to extend the network.
    No computers or devices can connect to the Airport Express named "AE02"? They all ONLY connect to the middle Airport Express called "AE01" even though they are like 20 cm from AE02??
    What am I doing wrong? Anyone else has this problem?
    Thanks

    Thanks, Huge bummer... How come the Airport Expresses connect that way if not allowed?! 
    I found the answer just like 'Tesserax' pointed out.

  • Can't connect to internet through Airport Express anymore

    Suddenly, my PowerBook can't connect to the internet through Airport Express. Monday late afternoon--everything was fine. Put it in sleep, come back a few hours later, can't connect.
    Thing is, Airport/wireless is working. Can stream audio to my home stereo.
    And the DSL/modem are working. If I connect the machine via ethernet directly, I'm online.
    Saw that some other users began having problems with USB/printer connections Monday. Could my problem be related?
    What gives?
    Any ideas?

    Hello mnkyby. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    It sounds like your AirPort Express Base Station (AX) in not getting a proper IP address from your modem.
    Try this ...
    o Connect to the AX's wireless network, and then, run the AirPort Admin Utility.
    o Go to the Internet tab.
    o Note the value for IP address. (Note: Do not list it here on the forum, just note what it is.)
    o Is the IP address what you would expect from your ISP or is it something like: 196.254.x.x?
    If the latter, try the following ...
    Modem/Router Power Recycling - Quick
    o Power-off the DSL/Cable modem, AX, & computer(s); Wait at least 5 minutes.
    o Power-on the DSL/Cable modem; Wait at least 5 minutes.
    o Power-on the AX; Wait at least 5 minutes.
    o Power-on the computer(s)
    If this fails to get the modem to "recognize" the Internet router, then try the "Full" version.
    Modem/Router Power ReCycling - Full
    o Power-off the DSL/Cable modem, AX, & computer(s). (Wait at least 30 minutes. If possible, leave the modem off overnight.)
    o Power-on the DSL/Cable modem; Wait at least 15 minutes.
    o Power-on the AX; Wait at least 5 minutes.
    o Power-on the computer(s)

  • Airplay from iPhone to Airport Express - no sound?

    We have two of the new Mac Minis, one new Airport Express and 4 iPhones in the house - and we can use Airplay from both PC´s to the Airport Express hooked up to the stereo - works fine!
    And we can se the Airplaybutton on the iPhones and the name of the Airport Express - but we don´t get any sound when we push the button and it turns blue?
    We have rebooted alle the devices, made restores, reconnected - but no sound? I just don´t get it?

    Same here:
    - iPhone 4 with iOS4.2;
    - Airport Express with latest firmware;
    - Airplay on iTunes 10.1 with Macbook Pro works fine on my home stereo equipment;
    - installation of iOS4.2 went fine;
    - rebooted already both iPhone and Airport Express;
    - Apple support told me to restore original settings on my iPhone, which I didn´t do but very much doubt would help anyway (the lady working for Apple Support didn't even know what "Airplay" was).
    I think we are facing a bug and must wait for an Airport Express (or even iOS4.2) software update.

  • Can't connect HP laptop with Airport Express

    My gov't agency has just allowed employees to connect to its intranet through wireless connections.  I have an Airport Express which I use for my MacBook Pro, iPhone and iPad.  No problems.  The work computer is an HP laptop running Windows.  I contacted our tech support and they didn't know what to do and suggested that it may be an Apple problem and that the AirPort will not connect to non-Apple devices.  Is this true?  Do I need to buy a new wireless router?  Anyone with any suggestions on what I can do to get the AirPort to work? 
    Thanks in advance.

    All wireless routers must adhere to the same standards for wireless networks, so there is nothing unique about the wireless network that the AirPort Express is creating. Visiting relatives have no trouble connecting their PCs to the Apple wireless network here at the house.
    Chances are, the Windows Firewall or anti-virus applicaton on the HP may be blocking the attempted connection as a security measure.
    As a last resort, you could also try reducing the security level on the AirPort Express in case the HP is not able to connect to the most secure wireless networks.
    To do this from your MacBook.....
    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utiltiies > AirPort Utility
    Click Manual Setup
    Click the Wireless tab located below the row of icons
    Change the Security setting to WPA/WPA2 Personal
    Click Update at the lower right and wait 40-45 seconds for the Express to restart

  • How do I print from iPhone using Airport Express to a regular printer over enet

    I am trying to figure out how to print from my iPhone or iPad to a regular printer that is on my wired ethernet network. I purchased Airport Express and my iPhone recognizes the Airport Express. I connected the USB port to the USB port on printer. The printer recognizes the Airport Express. But my iPhone does not recognize the printer. Any ideas?

    See this article about AirPrint: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4356
    Note the next-to-last bullet in "Notes" near the bottom:
    AirPrint printers connected to the USB port of the Apple AirPort Base Station or Time Capsules are not supported with AirPrint.
    I do not believe you can use AirPrint to print to a wired printer, period.  Very likely, you cannot use even a printer manufacturer's app to print to such a printer.  You would need a wireless printer.

  • ITunes can't connect to my new Airport Express even when light is green and see it with Airport utility. Please help!

    Hi,
    I'm using iTunes with my iMac and like listen the my music collection in my Hi-Fi which is 20 m far from the Mac. Because of the distance in my flat and other obstacles I'm using a power line. I installed the Airport Express through the Utility and no problems: Airport light is green and configured. iTunes air see it but it can't connect to it.
    I made several resets, plugged and unplugged the power and no change, but Airport light is always green, see it in iTunes and the Utility.
    This is driving my crazy!
    Any ideas ?
    Thanks

    Hi Jim,
    Thanks for reacting to my question.
    Yes, I did reboot the router, unplugged and replugged the Airport Express with ro result .... iTunes cannot connect to the Airport Express. I'm using power line to carry Ethernet because between my Mac and AE there are about 20 meters, but problems started since I updated AE version to version 3 ...
    It is also non sense because the Utility sees it and then suddenly disappears ! but light remians green ...
    I think there might be something wrong with the new firmware versions ...

  • Stream music from iPhone to AirPort Express without network possible?

    For an event I want to send music directly to my Aiport Express with AirTunes which of course is plugged into an amplifier/mixer connected to the speakers.
    This way I can roam and control the music.  Is this possible without a network created by a router?  Can one effectively make a direct connection from an iOS device to the Aiport Express; and ad-hoc connection perhaps?

    Thanks for the update - I am only familiar with networks and this is actually an iPhone/iTunes question so I would suggest that you re-word your question and re-submit it on the appropriate forum - that being said, if you can do what you want to do with an Express attached to the internet then you can do it this way - however keep in mind that the only audio output on Express is for a regular audio cable or an optical cable - I hope this helps.

  • Streaming directly from iPhone to Airport Express would'nt be great ?

    streaming music directly from my iPhone 3GS to any Airport Express, without iTunes and without a Mac ... presuming the iPhone can access the WiFi network !
    it would be a dream go true !
    do you know an iPhone app doing that ?
    or an Apple project in that way ?
    Eric, FRANCE

    thank you "neuroanatomist", thank you "roaminggnome"
    but...
    I would like this feature for some reasons :
    1- coming home, I would like to listen to my music or audiobooks without turning on my Mac for this elementary task ;
    2- I would like to listen to an audiobook when I'm not at home, on my iPhone, and, of course go on listening from the last point when coming home ; so the AB file must be on the iPhone, for these 2 reasons ;
    3- when I'm not at home, I would be please to play my friends some music or AB, using their Airport network ;
    4- streaming from the iPhone drains its battery but really not a problem : autonomy is good and we can recharge nearly everywhere using USB ;
    5- last but not least : currently iTunes has a bug preventing normal playing of long m4b files that play correctly on the iPhone ; but this is another story !
    But my request is perhaps unrealizable for 2 reasons :
    A- a technical question : is the Airtunes technology able to run without a Mac and iTunes ? in anorther word : to witch level is Airtunes implemented in the Express device ? Or : is it possible to setup an iPhone app able to use the Airtunes technology ?
    B- I've never tried to run 2 or more instances of iTunes on the same network, but what happens if I try to stream from each one to the same Airtport Express ? How are managed multiple sources ? Consider an iPhone barging in an Airtunes network and trying to stream to an Express already in use : managable ?
    still some uncertainty ...
    any help ?
    thanks
    Eric
    I'm a little frenchy, excuse me for my english mistakes !

  • Problem streaming music from iPhone to airport express

    Hi
    I use a Airport express connected to my stereo to stream music from my iMac and iPhone. It works brilliantly and seamisily from my iMac but when i try to listen to music from my iPhone it connects up but then plays the music but it keeps dropping out and you hear the music but it seams to keep loosing the connection.
    the imac and iPhone are connected to the same wifi network as the airport express. If i lay the iphone near the wifi router it still drops the signal and drops the connection to the airport express
    ive got an iPhone 4s running Iso 5  and lion on my Mac
    just a note ive had this problem with my previous iPhone 3gs running the old iso and the new iso 5 when i updated it the other month
    I have also updated the Firmware on the airport express
    any suggestions or solutions would be greatuly recieved.
    Thanks in advance

    thanks for your replies.
    It's because I have one router for internet (that I share with my neighbors) and another with my Airport Express hooked to it.
    But I would like to stream my music when I go to my friends.
    I'll write to Apple

  • I can't connect Slingbox Solo to Airport Express

    my slingbox solo is unable to connect to my airport express. I have the following hardware:
    *Airport Extreme Base Station (in my office)
    *Airport Express (in my living room) that i'm using to extend my network-- I currently have my stereo connected to this device, so I can play through itunes, and it works perfectly fine
    *Slingbox Solo
    I'm trying connect my slingbox solo to my airport express, through the ethernet port, but it won't recognize the network. Is there additional set up required with regards to the network to make this functional?
    Would appreciate any direction....

    The wireless security setting that the Actiontec modem/router is using may be different...and not compatible....than the setting that the Comcast product was using.
    If you think that might the case, and you have the time to troubleshoot......
    Temporarily, turn off the wireless security on the Actiontec modem/router
    Reset an AirPort Express back to default settings, then see if it will connect using no security and allow an Internet connection when you do the Ethernet port test in the post above again.
    If the AirPort Express cannot connect correctly using no security on the wireless network.....then it is a no brainer to know that it will never connect when security is enabled.  So, if the AirPort will not connect using no security, you may have an incompatibility issue between the Actiontec and Apple products.
    However, if the AirPort Express connects OK with no security, then this tells you that you will need to use a different setting for security on the Actiontec...the same that the Comcast router was using before.....so the Express will have a better chance of connecting.
    That setting would be something like WPA/WPA2 Personal, or the same setting stated another way would be WPA-PSK-TKIP.
