Configure airport express with mac book air

I am trying to configure airport express with a Mac Book Air, without success; the program is installed, but then, nothing appears to configure Airpor Express...
Can I get any help? Thank you
António

Hello!
I´m sorry it took so long to reply, but I´m new to these blogs; and I´ve been travelling a lot... Anyway, I was able to configure Airport Express, but I was told I could use it to expand my wireless network inside my house; which I found it´s not possible.
So, I´m returning my Airport Express to the store tomorrow and try to figure out a way to extend my wireless in any other way.
Any sugestion? Big houses are a problem...
Best regards, and once again thank you!
Antonio

    I can't configure airport express with laptop after 10.5.6 update
    the airport express is seen but can't access configuration screen, I get the spinning wheel forever.
    Other computer gets to the configuration screen without problem.
    And the airport utility describes the airport express like this: syAP.802.11format

    I downloaded the airport utility and re-installed
    and the problem was solved

  • Auto Restart Issue with Mac Book AIR

    Have been using a Macbook PRO for sometime, no problem with Parallel installed. Due to frequent traveling, light and compact is my priority now, so I bought another AIR (11" i7 chip w/ Parallel installed as well). It was working flawlessly for few weeks, used it to download a couple of updates when I was in China (approx. 4Mbit/sec line speed) still no issues. UNTIL when I get back to my office and using WIFI updated another few stuffs, the AIR started to behave strangely with "your computer needs to restart due to problem ..."  the last few days it happened at least 10 times daily, so I did what I know with the usual Mac way,  reset PRAM, repair permissions blah blah blah ..problems persists so I called the service centre and the technician I talked to suggested the issue could be from 'your moderate internet speed causing incomplete system updated files.' ;  half convinced but I followed / reinstalled ...with no CD, it has to press option to select  to reinstall -- only then I realized a big problem, originally it states requires 27 hours to reinstall a fresh LION in my AIR but finally it completed and restated in still about MASSIVE 7-1/2 hours time. 
    As I have bought a USB network connector now (a convenient gadget when stays at hotels with different levels of facilities offered), this is not so troublesome and I think fellow users should consider using network and avoid using WIFI for this purpose. I notice once the left USB once was used (without turning off the WIFI)  it keeps breaking the connections, as I read some articles from this forum the left USB could has some stability issues.  After all the time spent, the computer freezes at times and auto restarts again. What the heck has this causes the AIR to behave this way ?
    NEXT, I also read on the Power issues, I bought it without realizing one of the technical highlight is on high performance battery management but you can chop my head off and sit on mine if the AIR can last 3 hours (probably the suggested time is with computer power on but without using it at all). I don't want to sound un-nice as I have been using Mac for many many years:  1) if AIR is entirely basing on internet (VERY HIGH SPEED) for support is not a really very friendly method for users if there is reliability issues via internet line support, says what if we are caught in remote area with 30k/sec line speed then we are totally dead ... ; 2)  the recent scare makes me dare not using the software updates now, as technician suggested, write down what is required to update, find it from apple and do it manually ...Goohs, my Mac Book Pro using side by side doesn't has this issue.   Since when was the last time I have to suffer maintaining a Mac myself ? ...  @%#&@*!(!
    Anyone has clue to these or simply return to service centre to handle for me ?
    Thanks in advance (first time user in this community).

  • What is the necessity of the AC power cord (with Mac Book Air)? When should it be used with the power adapter?

    what is the necessity of the AC power cord (with the Mac book Air)? when should it be used?

    Gary, you wouldn't believe some of the questions people ask on this site.
    Why are both cords necessary?
    They are not.
    Other than the two reasons dominic23 sited are there any other reasons to use the AC power cord rather than the power adapter cord alone?
    No.

  • Can I link rapoo e6500 bluetooth key with mac book air

    You may not be able to pair a third party (non Apple) keyboard. Most likely incompatible with your Mac.

  • Battery issues with MAC Book Air (late 2010)

    Since I updated my MAC Book Air (late 2010) to the latest OS X 10.6.8. the battery is empty after 2.5 hours. Before it worked for approx. 6 hours. Whats your experience?

    I have been having the same issues as well. I downloaded Coconut battery to see the status of my battery, but it just clocks down very quickly still. I have disabled flash on Safari as well, and still I am charging my machine 2-3 times a day during the day.

  • Airport express with mac and windows

    No problems at all with mac and airport express but I have a vaio with window xp sp2 and a pc with vista home premium and even if they connect to the wireless network they cannot receive an ip address. How can I solve this problem? ( As always, we have to waste a lot of time when we work with microsoft operating systems... ;-)) )
    Thanks

    Thank you for providing me with the exact model of your PowerBook. This model was available with either an optional or built-in AirPort Card. This card is only able to connect to 802.11b wireless networks with a maximum bandwidth of 11 Mbps. This card is also capable of connecting to wireless networks that use the TKIP encryption protocol. This protocol is used in either the WEP or WPA standard. The card is NOT capable of connecting to wireless networks that use the AES/CCMP encryption protocol that is part of the WPA2 standard.
    However, some of the earliest versions of the AirPort Card did not work with WPA's TKIP implementation ... so it is possible that you may not be able to connect to an AirPort Express Base Station (AX) configured for "WPA/WPA2 Personal." It may also be problematic to connect to the same AX if it is configured to use one of the 802.11n modes that offer compatibility to 802.11b/g clients. This latter item does not sound like an issue as you are connecting, but wireless security does.
    WEP introduces its own set of "problems." Not to mention, that is it completely un-secure. The following Apple Support article may be helpful in getting all of your wireless clients connected when using WEP: Joining an encrypted WEP or WPA Wi-Fi network 

  • Configuring Airport Express with PC

    I'm trying to configure an Airport Express using the Airpot Admin Utility for Windows. I performed a hard reset on the Airport Express and the utility sees the Airport as confirmed by the name showing up as "Base Station xxxxxx" with the x's being the last 6 digits of the Airport MAC address. However, when I try to log in, it does not accept what I understand to be the default password after reset - "public". Any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    According to Apple a "soft" reset is all you need to reset the base station administration password back to the default of "public." (ref: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107451)
    Also, make sure you have the latest firmware for you AEBS. (ref: http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/airportextremefirmwareupdate57formacosx.h tml)

  • Using Airport Express with Mac OS X 10.5

    Hi you all,
    can anybody help me. I just got my first mac (with Leopard) as well as Airport Express. somehow during the installation process my harddrive is not accepted as connectivity??? Did I do something wrong or does it have to do with Leopard and the compatibility of the Airport Express software?
    Thanks for helping me.
    Brommy

    Brommy, Welcome to the discussion area!
    Don't try to use the software on the disc that came with the AirPort Express (AX).
    Instead use AirPort software already installed in the /Applications/Utilities directory.

  • I am having problems configuring airport express with time capsule

    Hi,
    I am having problems setting up airport express (old version) with time capsule. It was working perfectly fine with my old router, Airport Extreme (b/g).
    I have tried to reset the Airport Express, and now I am having problems finding it in my personal networks. Not too sure what exactly is going on, other than it was working less than a day ago, and now I can't even locate it on the network to configure.
    Anyone have any suggestions? I have already tried a hard reset, and no luck so far.

    There are 3 types of resets.
    1. Soft
    2. Hard
    3. Factory
    Try a factory reset.

  • What is the best configuration with Mac Book air, time capsule and external hard drive?

    Hi, I just bought a MacBook Air with the new Time Capsule and I was wondering what is the best set up:
    Option 1: use the time capsule as my main drive and back it up onto an external drive plugged at the back of it
    or Option 2: use the external drive as the main drive and use the time capsule as the back up? in that case, would the ext drive need to be plugged to the MacBook Air?
    Many thanks

    Option 2 is far superior.. and actually the only one that works.
    That is without killing yourself or having continual issues accessing your files.
    You do need to plug the external disk into the MBA.

  • Airport utility is not working on Windows. I can configure Airport Expresses with the Macbook but multiple computers with Windows and the latest Airport Utility time out after trying to connect to the router for setup.

    I have been trying to setup Airpot Expresses (both old and new models) for a while now with the Airpot Utility 5.6.1 for Windows without any luck. I have tried this on multiple windows machines, factory reseted the devices if I needed to, but I have not had any success since this software arrived. I see the routers on the Airport Utility UI, I click on it then try to connect to set it up. At this point, it gets stuck with a long progress bar trying to connect to the device without any success. I also have a Macbook Pro, and this device & software has had no trouble setting up the routers. The problem is, we are shipping these small routers out to customers who use Windows machines and it is vital that the user can modify the settings using Airpot Utility. I am at a loss for what to do and if we can't find any solutions, we are going to move on to a different company for the routers we ship out.

    Thanks a lot i followed the instructions for safe mode (i found out that i was pressing the C button after restarting) i did whats written there but the repair couldn't be performed so in addition i needed to re-formate the HD so i erased the volume and then repaired the disk--> quite disk utilities --> start the installation from the installation DVD.
    Thanks really appreciating your help
