Can't seem to make my Airport Express function

I have a rather old Airport Express that I normally use to stream music. Every now and then I have to reset it but it works quite well. I brought it with me on a trip to South America but I can't get it to work.
The AX flashes Amber, Airport Utility doesn't detect a wireless device. Someone suggested connecting an ethernet cable from the computer to the device but that didn't help.
I reset it by holding the reset button ten seconds, no help; I reset it holding the reset button and plugging it in and releasing the button after 10 seconds - nothing.
I connect to the Internet using a cable modem. The ISP won't let you connect more than one computer. I have to disconect the modem before reconnecting another computer. Could that be my problem?
Any suggestions?
Thank you

Welcome to the discussion area!
Sometimes repeated resets will temporarily lock up the AirPort Express (AX). Try powering it off for 30-45 minutes or so. Then hold in the reset button +and keep holding it in+ as you plug the AX back in to power. Release the reset button after 8-10 seconds. This is known as a Factory Default Reset.
Try connecting the ethernet cable again between your computer and the AX to help AirPort Utility "see" the AX so that you can reconfigure it.
If you try the Factory Default Reset a few more times and AirPort Utility still cannot "see" the AX, I'm afraid that this is an indication that something has failed within the AX and it will need to be replaced.

Can't seem to print via Airport Express & Xerox Printer

For some reason I cannot make this happen. I have an Airport Express plugged in. The USB cable is linked between my Xerox 6280n and the Express.
What now?
I hit print, then click the Xerox under nearby printers, it says there is new software from Apple, so I click "download and install" then it says the software is "currently unavailable". I can print directly from the computer no problem, I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
I download the firmware update from Xerox and it asks me to "set the IP address for printer"
I printed out the test copy and it listed the IP as 0.0.0.0 that has to be wrong, I have no idea at this point.

I have a Cisco wireless router. Can I buy an Airport Express plug in booster for a distant part of my house or do I need an Airport Extreme base station instead to make the Airport Express plug in booster work?

Can I buy an Airport Express plug-in wifi signal booster to connect to a Cisco wireless router, or do I have to buy an Airport Extreme base station to make the Airport Express plug-in work?

You would need either an AirPort Extreme or an AirPort Express connected to the Cisco router, with a permanent Ethernet cable connection.
Configure the Extreme or Express that is connected to the Cisco router to "create a wireless network".
Then, you could add an AirPort Express to "extend a wireless network" to provide more wireless coverage for the network that the Extreme or Express would be creating.
Remember that the Express can only "extend" the quality of signal that it receives, so it must be located where it can receive a strong signal from the "main" AirPort.
If you don't need the Cisco wireless signal, you could turn it off.....or use that network for guests or something similar.
The bottom line here......you always need two Apple routers if you want to extend the network wirelessly.

HT1515 can I make the Airport Express secured so no one else can use it?

Can I make the Airport Express secured so no one else can use it?

Choose a security protocol, WPA2 personal suggested. Then choose and install a strong password. Only users who are cognizant of your password will be able to connect to your wifi network. Of course, you'll need to do this via your Airport Utility application.

How can I set up an older airport express using the newest airport utilities?

How can I set up an older airport express using the newest airport utilities? Seems like there isn't an option to set this up. Normally you could add/set up this in the airport setup assistant- but that doesn't exsist any longer.
Thanks for any suggestions

How can I set up an older airport express using the newest airport utilities?
Unfortunately you can't, since Apple dropped support of the older AirPorts with AirPort Utility 6.x.
Using some workarounds....not supported by Apple.....you might be able to download and install an older version of AirPort Utility that would allow you to administer the older AirPort.

Can I strem audio to my airport express? but not only iTunes

Can I stream audio to my airport express? but not only iTunes. where can I suggest to Apple make some about it?

Hello keer. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Can I stream audio to my airport express? but not only iTunes.
Yes. To stream audio, other than from an iTunes source, to an AirPort Express Base Station (AX) you will need a third-party product, like Rogue Amoeba's Airfoil.
where can I suggest to Apple make some about it?
You can submit suggestions to Apple at the following link: Apple Product Feedback

I have tried restting it, but the airport utiliity 632.3 dies bit support my airport express. ah....

Part of your message seems to be missing. Please re-post including the model number of Express that you have.
Look on the side of the device for the model number. It starts with an "A" followed by four numbers.

I have a problem with Safari in IOS 8 on my iPad 3. The bookmarks take up a third of the screen and I can't seem to make the bookmarks disappear until I need them. The useful part of the screen is therefore very small. Any suggestions gratefully appr

I have a problem with Safari in IOS 8 on my iPad 3. The bookmarks take up a third of the screen and I can't seem to make the bookmarks disappear until I need them. The useful part of the screen is therefore very small. Any suggestions gratefully appreciated.

OK, it now sort of works. A couple of problems here:
After updating IOS, Safari iCloud was "automatically" switched off
Switching it on had no effect
resetting my iPad automatically switched off safari iCloud again
after switching it back on, it said "turning off safari data"
switched it off and on again, now it said : "turning on safari data" and the sync worked
On IOS 7 no problems
The bookmarks not being displayed was because after pressing the book icon, it defaulted to showing the history and I had to press "Back" to get to the other options

Did you update to iOS 7? If yes you need to update iTunes on your computer to iTunes 11.1
If you are using iTunes 11.0 and iOS 6.x then show the left sidebar in iTunes.
When in iTunes on your computer use the View menu to View Sidebar. The device should show up there when connected.

On the left side of the music playing screen under the scrubber bar is the shuffle control icon. It is the arrowed racetrack. Tap the icon until it is white. See chapter 4 of the users guide;

Can i stream safari to my airport express?

Can I stream safari to my airport express?
3rd party software like airfoil is a posibility but I think its a bit odd that I, using a mac omputer and a mac airport extreme, need to buy software to connect these two. So is there an other way to fix this?

Can I stream safari to my airport express?
I assume that you mean: Can I stream web-based audio files to the AirPort Express Base Station? That is, audio files not originating from iTunes ... correct?
If so, then (as far as your iMac is concerned) you already answered your own question with Rogue Amoeba's Airfoil. For iOS devices, you can use AirPlay with audio sources other than iTunes.

I'd like to remove a thin line that is part of the page design in one of Aperture's photo books. I can't seem to make it happen. Any suggestions?

The mouse that came with my Mac does not have a right click feature. When I try to highlight and click, it just opens the link I don't want anymore. What I want to do is remove unwanted links from the top bar. For example, I no longer use GoodSearch or myEarthLink, but I can't delete them. There are also some links that never should have found their way up there, and I don't know how they ended up there, and I can't remove them either. I've read through a ton of questions and answers, and I can't find one that addresses the problem. With my Safari browser, all I have to do to remove an unwanted link is to click and drag it to the trash. It doesn't appear to work that way with Firefox, to my chagrin. I hope this better explains my question. Maybe that will give you a better insight into a solution.

Even after adding the country code i can't seem to make any international calls.im not sure if this is relevant but apparently, the option dial assist is not to be found on my setting.pls direct me...thank you.and my phone moddle is 5s(A1457)gold

Hi, Thilina66. You say you have entered the country code but still cannot make international calls. I suppose you are adding the international access code before the country code. This internaltional access code (011 in the US, 00 in Europe, etc.) can be substituted by adding a + sign before the country code.
For example, to call a number in the UK from the US you have to dial:
011 44 7540 267898
or
+44 7540 267898
To call a number in the US from the UK you have to dial:
00 1 212 456 1470
or
+1 212 456 1470
Please check that the contact number in your address book is correctly written if you are dialing directly from the address book or that you enter the correct numbers in the keyboard if you are dialing from the keyboard.

I can't seem to make n actual phone call from my phone. I dial the number, and at the other end it rings, and the person knows it is me trying to call... but on my end of the phone is nothing at all. Why is that?

I can't seem to make an actual phone call from my iPhone 4S. I dial the number, and the phone at the other end rings. But at my end there is nothing. No ringing. No person trying to talk to me. What is causing this problem? I have got all of the current updates loaded to my phone.

My brother had a similar problem and he went to the Apple store and they gave him a new one under warrenty...she said something about the arial, I would give it a go.
