Cannnot access airport express from ipad2

I tried restarting just about everything. I turned everything off and on again, restarted the network settings on iPad2 but still nothing but a spinning wheel. I can access it from my Macbook just fine, everything is green, but after I login with my password on my iPad2 it seems like it's trying to access the internet but nothing happens but a never ending spinning wheel.

workaround: click file/configure other - who would-a-guessed.

How do I remove an unwanted Airport Express from my network?

I have been using a Time Capsule for several years. I am having trouble backing up to my Time Capsule. I have discovered an unknown Airport Express in my network. I've changed networks, added passwords to the network, etc. How do I remove this unwanted Airport Express from my network? I think he is wreaking havoc with my system!! Help...

Maybe this is an issue I should consult my ISP about??
No question about that. If you can "see" Travis's device, then he can likely "see" your Time Capsule.
I'm just concerned that whomever the APExpress belongs to could be changing settings on my computer or Time Capsule that would cause the issues with me not being able to backup.
Make sure that you have a Time Capsule base station password. Unless a user has that password, they might be able to "see" your Time Capsule, but they cannot access any of the data on the Time Capsule or change the settings.
Open AirPort Utility, click on the Time Capsule and click Manual Setup
Then, click the Time Capsule tab below the icons to see the device name and password for your device. Make sure that you have entered the password and confirmed. Click Update if you have made any changes.
The message I get is "The backup was not performed because an error occurred while copying files to the backup disk. The problem may be temporary. Try again later to back up. If the problem persists, use Disk Utility to repair your backup disk."
I am not sure what this error means, because I cannot duplicate it here to test.
If it were me, I would try this "fix".

Manage Airport Express from Windows computer

Is it possible to manage the Airport Express from a Windows computer?
Most of the posts here deal with connection problems from windows to the device - my problem is that I no longer have a macintosh and so I no longer have access to the airport admin utilty.
Does Apple provide a set of admin tools that run on Windows?

It does not work for the airport express. At least I have been unable to get it to work. "An error occurred while trying to access the base station" Is the error I get. iTunes has no problem playing it.
I used to be able to access my Airport Expresses with the software that came with it. But unfortunately I lost my disk and can 't find the right software to download anywhere. It's all for the airport and not the airport express.
Very disappointed with Apple's support for such an expensive device.

Bonjour won't print to my Airport Express from my Win XP pc

I loaded Bonjour onto my Windows XP pc. The load went fine -- no error messages. I ran the 'add printer' routine, it found my HP 1210xi (which is connected to my Airport Express by USB) and showed a driver in the selection list to add. I added the printer. The setup looks fine. When I try to print a test page nothing happens, it finally errors out in Windows saying there was a problem printint the document. It also creates a mess that requires stopping/restarting Windows spooler to clean out the old print job.
I had previously loaded Bonjour onto this PC and printed just fine.
I am running XP SP2 with Windows Firewall. I tried with the firewall turned off and get the same problem. I can ping the Airport Express from the PC.
I have other Mac & Windows PCs running on this network and this is the only PC with this problem, but I do remember having the problem with a Dell about a year ago.
Sorry to be so long-winded, but I wanted to put as much data in this post as possible.

Try plugging your computer directly to the HP printer via USB and installing printer. Then disconnect and try Bobjour again. It worked for me. Although you may need to reinstall Bonjour again.

I bought an Airport Express from a supplier who told me I'd need at least iOS 5.4 on my iPad. My first generation iPad is apparently up to date but the iOS is only 5.1.1. Before I unpack the device I want to know whether it will work with this earlier version.

Apple says that a minimum of iOS 5.0 is required. See the support document below. Look for Requirements on the left hand side of the page about half way down.
Requirements: Compatible with iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. Requires iOS 5.0 or later.

How can I administer a Gen1 Airport Express from, my MacPro (OS 10.9, Airport Utility 6.3.2). I can see the Express in the WiFi window but from the Airport Utility I get the following message: " This version of AirPort Utility doesn’t support this base station. Go to AirPort Service and Support for more information." Of course there's nothing of value on the support page. Any clues anyone?

Apple has dropped support in Mavericks (10.9) of the AirPort Express and AirPort Extreme models that were discontinued more than six years ago.
You can still administer the older AirPort models if you have a Mac running Leopard, Snow Leopard, or a PC.

I need help configuring the Airport express from a PC

Hi there!
I want to configure the airport express from a PC. It runs okay but the connection is open (anyone can browse on my connection)
In a PDF that I found on Apples web site, it says go to
Start-> All programs-> Airport express setup assistant, but there are no programs named Airport on my PC!
Do I have to download a utility for this purpose?
Fredrik

If all you want to do is add wireless security to an already configured Express, you'll probably want to use the Airport Admin Utility. You should be able to install it by installing this package:

If the PC isn't running at least Windows XP, I think you're out of luck.

Update the firmware on my airport express from 7.4.2 to 7.5.2

When I press update the firmware on my airport express from 7.4.2 to 7.5.2 using the airport tool says:
This device and its network service is temporarily unavailable. will you continue?
When I press deliberately and pressed into the code goes started to download the update, but come quickly with this message:
Airport Utility could not find the AirPort wireless device after restarting. You may need to select your network manage network connections and try again.
But my airport lights up green as if it works and I may well be on the net and listen wireless music.
How do I get updated firmware?

Chances are, the update was downloaded and installed successfully.
Try powering down your entire network....every device.....order is not important
Wait a few minutes
Start the modem first and let it run for 2-3 minutes by itself
Start the next device connected to the modem the same way
Continue starting devices one at a time about a minute apart until everything is powered back up
What happens?

Encryption wouldn't matter except for Wifi.
While 10.2 might help, there's not much you can do on the Internet these days with less than 10.4.11

Access Outlook Express from Firefox

How do I access Outlook Express from Firefox. I have succeeded in getting an Outlook Express link next to the HOME symbol in the upper access bar, but it only brings up the "Send" screen.

What do you mean by "access"?
Outlook Express doesn't have any direct relationship to Firefox. It is a stand-alone email program on your computer.

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.

Unable to see Airport Express from Windows Airport Utility

I am setting up an Airport Express to connect remote speakers for a friend with windows base system. The router is a TrendNet.
I have managed to add the Airport Express to the network. I can ping the router, and if I put in the IP address to Airport Utility it is found and I can configure it. Airport Utility on it's own however will not find the Airport Express.
I can currently play to the Airport speakers from multiple iPhones also on the network, so I know that part is working as well. What is not working is the Airport Express is not showing up in iTunes as an available speaker. I am guessing that as the Airport Utility also will not recognize it that is had something to do with firewall rules on the Windows 7 computer or Trendnet Router. I checked Windows 7, and there are four Bonjour entries and one iTunes entry. All seem set open for incoming requests.
At this point I'm puzzled. Any network gurus out there have new ideas?
Thanks
Gary

I just ran both the verify and repair options on both the permissions and the volume. The ~/Library permissions are repaired, but that was all. I also checked the software update, but I have all the latest installed, it seems.
Where can I check my AirTunes version? I tried spotlighting for it, but that search came up empty. I did install the version that came with the AirPort Express. It says "AirPort 4.2", so I guess that's the version installed at the moment. My iTunes version is 7.0.2. I upgraded the firmware to version 6.3.
I have very little knowledge of networking, I'm afraid, and I'm starting to think that maybe the problem could be my router being set up in such a way that it won't allow the AirPort Express to connect properly.
The reason I believe it's my network rather than the AirPort Express is because when I reset the device, I see that new network named "Apple Network xxxxx". When I connect to it, iTunes properly displays that AirTunes selection box in the lower right and I can stream music to it. With the ethernet cable plugged in, the sound does lag every now and then whenever I use an applications that needs Internet access.
The MacBook, router and AirPort Express are about one to two meters apart (that's three to six feet, I think). I'm not quite sure if the SpeedTouch router is set up properly. Luckily, a friend of mine who's a system administrator is coming over today, so I'll ask him if he could have a look at my network setup.
Thanks for all the help and the fast replies! :^)
my thumb is all sore
Bathe it in salt water
I'll try that, haha. :^)
Your English is excellent .
Thanks! :^)

How do I stream music to airport express from my iPhone

I have installed airport express on my macbook pro and can now play music on my stereo system using itunes from my laptop, but I also ant to steam music from my iphone4 to the stereo as well, I have some radio apps on my iphone four that I would like to do this with.

Which version of iOS are you running on your iPhone 4S? With the lastest versions an AirPlay icon (see image below) will appear in the Control Center when your iPhone is attached to a Wi-Fi network which an AirPlay ready device is present.
To access the AirPlay icon, swipe up from the bottom of the screen to access the Control Center.

What is the approximate range of Airport Express for iPad2?

What is the approximate range for Airport Express to use with iPad2?

Clearly the range is impacted by the walls in the transmission path. However, I was able to get about sixty feet. As this was no different than that with my Westell-7500 modem/router ("g" standard) from Verizon, I returned the Express.

Printing on a Canon Pixma MP600 via Airport Express from a Windows 2000 PC

Hi, I'm a Mac: I can print directly connected AND wirelessly to a Canon MP600 printer through Airport Express.
Hi, I'm a PC: I can only print when I'm directly connected to the printer.
Has anyone found a way to print to their Canon through Airport Express?

Try these instructions first: http://www.ifelix.co.uk/tech/1006.html
Another route is to use Bonjour for Windows to be able to access the printer attached to the AirPort base station from your PC.
In addition, not all USB printers work with AirPort base stations for sharing. The following iFelix link provides an "unofficial" list of known compatible printers...and some workarounds.
