Does it cost money to run airport express?

i am thinking about buying airport express, and the main reason is to use the airplay and I am in love with apple and everybody in my family has apple products and i would like to use airplay but I don't know if it will cost money to run it...

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You only have to pay for the Internet connection you have. Then, AirPlay is free. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4437?viewlocale=en_US

  • Can u run Airport Express and a wireless modem together?

    Can u run Airport Express and a wireless modem together at the same time?
    I'm using AE purely for music distribution and have just bought a wireless modem for the internet (not a AE). However I can now only select either the AE network, OR the wireless internet network (it's BT HomeHub). Hence I can either play music or use the internet, but not together!
    Any ideas anyone..??
    Thanx

    You should configure your AirPort Express (AX) to join the wireless network provided by the modem. The instructions are in KB 302153, AirPort Express: How to join an existing wireless network in client mode.

    1. No. You can switch to another browser, such as Firefox, instead.
    2. If your computer supports Yosemite, no. If it doesn’t but supports Lion, yes. If it doesn’t support either of them, it isn’t possible to upgrade.

  • HT1731 How does one configure a NEW (unconfigured) AirPort Express to join a WiFi network that has a non-broadcasted SSID?

    The following KB article assumes that the user has a configured AirPort Express:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1731
    I reset my AirPort Express, because the SSID of the WiFi network changed and its name is not broadcast for security reasons.
    When using the "AirPort Utility" ( not the "AirPort Admin Utility" – which is the wrong name of the application in the article! ) the application found the unconfigured AirPort Express, connected to the LAN via ethernet; However, when selected, the configuration "wizard" assumes that the user wants to configure the AirPort Express as a WiFi base station.
    I selected the option to have the AirPort Express join a WiFi network; However, the AirPort Utility sent back an error, saying that a "Base station" ( WiFi network?! ) could not be found. Well, guess what? That's because the SSID of the network I want the AirPort Express to join.
    UGH! 
    ...and the best part is that there is no other solution, but to run with the AirPort Utility's assumptions, configure the AirPort Express as a WiFi Base station, then follow the KB article's instructions ( which are not accurate ) to re-configure the AirPort Express as a WiFi client.
    This is a really bad user experience, Apple.
    Please try following your own instructions to see how fantastically they fail..then, re-write your KB articles.
    Thanks,
    PS — If anyone knows of any easier methodologies, do tell. (That's the "question" part of this inquiry )
    PPS — My Mac Pro, which I used to configure the AirPort Express, does not have WiFi.
    PPPS — Why do all the articles that match searches for "AirPort Express" return articles that refer to "AirPort Base Stations"?!  Please, for the love of UX, be consistent!

    Here are the basic steps:
    Run the AirPort Utility
    Select the AirPort Express
    Click on Manual Setup
    Click on the AirPort icon
    Click on the Wireless tab
    For Wireless Mode, select the "Join a wireless network" option
    In the Wireless Network Name field, enter the SSID of the hidden wireless network you want the Express to join.
    Select the approrpriate wireless security type in the Wireless Security window.
    Enter the appropriate wireless security password for the hidden network.
    Click on Update.

  • How can i run AirPort Express for both a Mac and Windows 2000 SP2?

    I have my AirPort Express set up for my iMac and it runs fine. We have a house guest who has a laptop running Windows 2000 SP2. Can I set up Airport so that both computers can access internet wirelessly?

    Just did a quick check of the Unofficial Averatec Support Forum. Several posters there upgraded the driver for the wireless card to support WPA on the 5110.
    They used drivers from other computer manufacturers and indicated that Averatec has not provided updated drivers.
    They were running XP SP2.
    Many Averatec models have weak wifi cards. Mine included. Sorry I am unable to be of more help.
    Good luck

    I purchased the Apple airport express that connects
    multiple
    wireless-networked PCs to a usb printer.
    is there a driver that can make this work?. I configured
    the printer
    according to the manual, received a test page and so on, but now it
    takes ages to start printing and printing never gets to 100%
    completion but to 99%. I am not able to cancel printing jobs and this
    is a whole mess.

  • Does it cost money to sell your own music that you produced on the iTunes store?

    I have a couple songs of my own that I would like to sell on iTunes. I was looking into it on the iTunes store and it wanted my credit card information. I don't know if this was for the money that I could make to go on, or if it was going to cost me something to put my music on there.

  • Does it cost money to use Safari on the Touch?

    Hey guys, I went to the apple store and played wit the touch for a little bit and i tried out the Safari feature and it was awesome, i was able to go to any site i wanted to without a problem, it just seems like its too easy, i kno the wifi is free but does the Safari cost money when u use it, is it like a phone that charges u for bytes transfered or w.e?

    Some access points do charge. Apple Stores provide free wireless internet. Some public places do as well. Some (e.g. Starbucks, many large hotel chains) charge for internet access. There is no charge to use Safari +per se+. In some cases (Starbucks is like this) you can connect to the wireless access point (i.e. your IPT or laptop will show you as connected) but you need to open a browser for a page to pop up so you can pay for access.
    There is a lising of free wifi access points here:

  • My computer does not connect anymore to my airport express

    i have an airport express for years and since a few days my computer manages less and less to connect to it. it sees it in the available networks but it does not connect to it automatically and when i try to join it with my password it fails to connect as well. when i go to the airport utility and scan for available devices it does not find it. i can connect through a direct ethernet cable to my cable modem so it's not my internet provider the problem. when i turn on the computer it sometimes gives me the signal that the airport device is on (the little fan) but as soon as i open a browser it greys with a little exclamation mark.
    any thoughts on what i could do? would a factory settings restore solve the problem (last resort as i would have to remember all the right settings that have to do with my internet provider plus passwords for station and joining networks, grrr)?

    If you unplug the AirPort Express, wait a short time, then plug it back in, does it work better (at least for a while)?
    would a factory settings restore solve the problem
    If you can get AirPort Utility to recognize it at all, use the menu option File -> Export Configuration File to save the configuration settings. Then you can do a factory reset followed by File - Import Configuration File to reload those settings.
    There's a chance that it would help to reset the connection settings on your Mac using these steps one at a time until it works again, recognizing that, depending on your problem, not all of these steps will make sense:
    1) Use the AirPort menu bar item to turn AirPort off, then on again.
    2) Try to select your Wi-Fi network from the AirPort menu.
    3) In the Network panel of System Preferences delete the AirPort item from the left column, then add it back.
    4) In the same panel as (3), define a new location and see if you can make that work.
    5) In the same panel, select the AirPort connection item, click the "Advanced" button, select the "TCP/IP" tab, then click "Renew DHCP Lease".
    6) In the folder /Library/Preferences ( not <yourhomefolder>/Library/Preferences), move the folder SystemConfiguration onto the Desktop, then restart your computer. See if you can now make your AirPort connection work.
    They may not help, but they'll only take a couple of minutes to try. Before you try these, if you have any special network settings on your Mac for things like DSL credentials, note all your network settings, because the latter steps will destroy them. If you got all the way to the last step, if things don't work any worse than before, you can trash the saved SystemConfiguration folder.

  • I got a new imac and the airport utility does not work with my older airport express. What can I do???

    How can I get my new iMac to see my old Airport Express so I can play my music to a remote speaker?

    Move the Mountain Lion version of Airport Utility to the Trash. Airport Utility is located in the Utilities folder.
    Kappy, you cannot move AirPort Utility in Mountain Lion to the trash in a normal way. Apple will not let you do this.....It is part of the Mountain Lion operating system....and cannot be modified or trashed.

  • AirPort Extreme does not see printer, hard drive, AirPort Express!

    I just got an AirPort Extreme (802.11n), to replace my AirPort Express. I have a Brother 665CW wireless all-in-one printer, which had worked perfectly but now I cannot find it. I have also hooked my USB hard drive into the Extreme. I can see the hard drive in the AirPort Utility, but I don't know how to find it from my iBook. I'd also like to put the Express in another room to use the AirTunes feature. Unfortunately, almost nothing is working!
    Here is how it's set up:
    Den:
    AirPort Extreme - hardwired to:
    - DSL modem
    - hard drive (via USB)
    Brother 665CW (wireless)
    Living Room:
    AirPort Express
    Advice would be appreciated. I'm usually able to troubleshoot my problems, but documentation on this Extreme is really bad! Thanks!

    I had problems adding Airport expresses using Airport Utility. However I found it worked fine if I used the manual set-up option and not the Assist me option.
    Reset the airport express then, in manual set-up, set the express to 'join an airport network' add the airport network password and see if that works
