Connected to the Airport Express' Network but Can't Find Express

I've recently been having some trouble with my network, which contains a modem connected to an Airport Express, with my iMac connecting wirelessly to that. My internet connection is getting dropped, and when I open up Airport Utility I can't see my Express. However, from the wireless indicator at the top-right of my screen, I am still connected to the Express' network. When I turn my iMac's Airport on and off, it reconnects to the Express' network (which is constantly at full-strength). I also can't ping the Express.
So, I'm connecting to the Express' network but I can't do anything. After a variable amount of time (5 seconds to half-an-hour), the Express will appear in my Airport Utilities once again and I can surf the net. Does anyone have any thoughts? Is there a way to ping any of the protected wireless-networks that are available, just to see if it's a problem on my iMac's end? Could my Express still be broadcasting its SSID but has shut-down it's networking capability because of an overheating issue?
Thanks.
- Matt
PS. My Airport Express is the 802.11n model.

You may need to re set the AE to factory specs and start all over. Read the manual on a factory re set. Start on page 41 and go through page 42.

    i connect on the wi-fi network but i can't connect in internet

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

    The iPhone is working, as designed and advertised.  In this case, the user failed to educate themselves properly, either by proper research or asking the right questions, before purchasing the device.
    I understand that the OP failed to do research. But then, I wasn't replying to the OP. I was replying to Chris. I have Verizon. I can talk and use data at the same time with my Droid Maxx. Therefore, the problem is not just with the network. It would be technically possible for an iPhone to do that on Verizon/Sprint if Apple had chosen to use a different chip, such as the kind other phone manufacturers have elected to use.
    Of course, this is probably all irrelevant to the OP's issue. It was merely a point of clarification, especially for those people who are used to being able to use both voice and data at the same time on Verizon. When they switch to an iPhone, they are often surprized at the limitation.
    Best of luck.

  • HT4437 I have followed all relevant steps, my iPhone5 and apple TV are connected to the same wireless network, but I still cannot use airplay. When I choose the airplay option on my phone, the only option I get is "iPhone"

    Welcome to the Apple Community Willy.
    Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
    Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
    Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
    Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
    Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
    Restart your mobile device.

  • HT3867 I am connected to the hotel wifi network, but the login screen does not appear.

    Hi,
    I am connected to my hotel wifi network, but the login screen does not appear. I am able to access the login page on my PC, but on the iPhone it does not appear and just tries to connect to the webpage (e.g. google.co.uk), and eventually gives up. I've tried opening pages in Safari and Chrome, but none cause the login screen to appear. I have also tried trying to log into the login page that the PC opens when connected to the wifi, but the same thing happens. I am using a iPhone 3G with the latest iOS version 6.0.1.
    Is there a way to make the iPhone try to open the login page?
    Ben.

    I have the exact same problem as the original poster and I tried many times already the solution proposed by trstark66 and it's still not working. It's not working for both my iPad and iPhone 5. I'm using the latest iOS version available all the time. I have my iPad since 3 years and my iPhone since 1 years and I always had that problem. I'm an airline pilot so I'm always in hotels. I asked my colleagues who also have iPhones and iPads and they all have the same problems from time to time. And when I go in an apple store they all say that it's the first time they hear about that problem. I never have that problem with my PCs, my previous phone and my BB playbook. Only with my iPhone and iPad....since now 3 years...Always the same problem. I'm connected to the Hotel Network, I have an IP address but nothing popup to register with a user name, password or just to access the "I have read and accept the condition.../connect". And when I go in Safari or other Browsers, I am not redirected to a login page. All I have is a message saying cannot access the webpage because I'm not connected to Internet. I tried already hard resets, on/off Wi-Fi, automatic connexion off, forget this network, reset network setting...
    My solution for now is to use my Boingo account. I connect to the hotel Network and then I use the Boingo app to connect to Internet.
    But, sometimes it works the first time or suddenly for no reason.
    Very funny, I was using Boingo on my ipad to write this message in my Hotel room because I was unable to use my free connection as usual. When I tried to press "Add Reply" it failed and I had the message "An error occured while trying to submit your post, please try again". The reason was that boingo was disconnected since I was taking too long to write this message. So I wasn't connected to Internet anymore. I opened a second tab in Safari and what did I see!... the login page to access the free connection from the hotel. This is crazy. Apple, you really suck with hotel/coffee hotspots... I tried for hours and nothing, now hours later I just open a new tab and it works. But tomorrow I know I will try the same and it will not work again. It shouldn't be that complicated.

  • The pictures are there, but can't find the library

    My primary HD for photos is external, and an iphoto library is there. Took my laptop out of town and loaded photos on it. It created a new library. I cannot figure out, however, where this puppy is stored. It is not in the usr/pictures folder, and neither Finder nor Spotlight turn up albumdata.xml, or library6 etc files. There is no iphoto folder, or original folder found by either spotlight or finder.
    iphoto loads fine and all the new photos are there, imovie finds the photos, iweb finds the photos. I, however, can't find the 1.3 Gig of photos so that I can merge the libraries.
    I have tried the apple-option start up and rebuilt the library. I have repaired the permissions on the HD. I loaded a number of new photos this morning, and then searched on Finder to see where the file was modified. No luck and I am out of ideas.
    Yes I have exported to a temporary folder on the external drive, but I don't want to lose 1.3 gigs of HD space having duplicate pictures. If I re-direct the library to the external drive, without knowing where the new library is, I won't be able to delete the duplicate library. I don't know how to turn on a view for hidden folders, if that is the issue. There is only one user account on this computer, so that is not an issue.
    Any thoughts out there? Thanks.

    Select a photo in the iPhoto window and right click (or control-click) and select show file.
    A Finder window will open with the file selected. If you switch to Column view you'll be able to see where the file is located easily.

  • I backed up my iPad to the cloud and then had to wipe and restore it. Most of the tings are there but can't find all my photos that I had put into albums. Can anyone help. Only a few of my pics came back on my photo stream.

    Can any one help me find my photos and albums???

    Photo stream photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days, even though your last 1000 photos will remain on your device until you delete them.  When you reconnect to photo stream you only get back photos from the last 30 days.  Only camera roll photos are included in the backup.  To save your photo stream photos be sure to save them to your camera roll so they are backed up.
    Photo albums will only be restored if they contain photos from the camera roll.  If they were folders synced to your device from your computer that will not be restored, but will be recreated when you sync with iTunes.  If they were albums that only contained photo stream photos they would also not be restored.

  • Publish the site to MobileMe But Can't Find the URL of Where It Is

    I remember purchasing iWeb 08 and MobileMe. It showed me the files where the site was published. So I can have domain forwarding turned on.
    Now with iWeb '11 (no difference in the options) and MobileMe. I can not locate the files or see the URL of where the files were published. and web.me.com/<mobileme name> does not work.
    What is the Personal Domain URL from mobileme? I tried to add a domain name and it redirected me to the non-mobileme site that I setup already. I want to forward the mobileme URL to my domain name.
    I published two separate sites to see them each to each individual URL.
    This is what I am expecting: http://web.me.com/MobileMeAccount_Name/SiteName
    Is this still valid?
    Message was edited by: Manley M Collins

    By url's, do you mean iWeb url's? They should work if you have named your sites differently. If you have not, then they will override each other. Look at your sites - http://web.me.com/username/sitename.
    If you mean domain names linked to your MobileMe account, then how many do you have and how are they forwarded? You can only have one CNAME per MMe account and all the rest must be forwarded using web forwarding with or without masking.
    A little more info would be helpful.

    You would need to get the IP address of your printer then manually add a network print queue.
    To get the IP address, on the control panel of your printer, press on Setup > Network Setup > TCP/IP > View/Set IP address.
