Hi for some reason my Airport Express has stopped working. It just glows Amber and occasionally flashes green but goes back to amber. AU can't see it. I have a macbook and want to connect via my existing wifi to stream music, can someone help please!

Hi, title says it all. I have been doing this for years and don't know what has changed.....
Reset doesn't seem to work, this includes factory! Please help.

It certainly would not hurt to let the folks at the Apple store take a look to verify things. If the product is less than a year old, or you have AppleCare on one of your Mac, the Express may qualify for free replacement.
The Apple Store may also some some refurbished Express devices on hand at a discount if you need to buy, or they can direct you to the Apple online store for the same thing.

Google 'Perian' and 'Flip4Mac' — these are the extensions that will make QT play other file formats.
However, a simpler solution is just to abandon QT in favour of the free, open-source player VLC, which plays just about everything natively without further downloads.
Download the free VLC Player from here:

Plays just about everything, including avi & mpg, without add ons.

Airport Express has stopped working, no IP-adress

Airport Express has stopped working. In my Airport tool, I can't see the Airport Express anymore.
Under network, I can still see the Airport, but it says, that it cant find an IP-Adress.
It can see my Airport Extreme.
Thanks in advance.

Try resetting the Airport Express.
If you don't see it in Airport Utility in your Utilities folder, then you would need to reset it...
Do you have it set to "Join" the Extreme network? or something else?
See this Apple doc on how to reset your base station.

Also, you would not see it in your Network preference panel in the System Preferences.
You will only see the main network which is your Airport Extreme....
Unless you have 2 separate networks....
How many do you have?

The last several days I have not been able to access the dial pad. When I go to phone a pop up appears that says "unfortunatly contacts has stopped working." To remove the pop up you have to hit 'ok', the it goes back to the home screen. This also happens when I go to contacts.

You migh give resetting your NVRAM a try:

TS1398 Have Wi Fi at home and for some reason over the weekend it stopped working on ipad and iphone but works on blackberry and 2 x computers......help

I have Wi Fi at home, over the weekend it stopped working on our Ipad and Iphone, yet it still works on Blackberry and laptop and desktop, have tried forget this network, have tried reset network settings but looks like nothing works, The Ipad and phone show the "mushroom" bars as if connected, yet it doesn't display the family wi fi network as normal,.....help

I updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 6 tonight and initially had the same problem. I could send a text via iMessage only through cellular network; not my wifi. After fooling around with the settings for an hour or so, I THINK I solved the problem...
According to an article I read online, iOS 6 unifies your phone number and Apple ID. Therefore, if someone sends an iMessage to your phone number, you could hypothetically receive it via an iPad or Mac. In my case, I didn't have my cell number listed on my Apple ID account. Therefore, when I connected to my wifi, iMessage tried to access my number via my Apple ID. Since I didn't have my number listed, iMessage subsequently didn't work.
I logged into my Apple ID, added my mobile number. I also rest my network settings under 'settings,' 'general,' 'reset,' and 'reset network settings.' Then, I restarted my phone. Under my message settings, I selected 'send and receive' and made sure BOTH my phone number AND email address were selected. Everything SEEMS to be working fine now...
Hope this helps!

Airport Express has stopped working

Hi.
My AE has just stopped working and now can't connect to the network. I have tried a harware reset and all I get is the amber light and now and again it flashes then turns green and then back to amber. It looks to me as if the something has damaged the hardware as I cant get it to showup in my airport utility.

If you have tried a Factory Default Reset a few times, and the AirPort Express is still acting up, it is likely defective and will need to be replaced.
Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule FAQ
If it is out of warranty......and you have the patience.....and want to take a real longshot......carefully saw open the case of the Express along the center seam to open up the device and look for something obvious....like a connector that has come loose, broken wire, etc.

My airport express has stopped working as an extender.

Aloha:
I have been successfully using my my airport Express as an extender for several months when it just quit working. I now have plugged it in right next to my computer and airport Extreme to trouble shoot.
It just sits there blinking orange. I have pushed the reset button to no avail. I have unplugged it, pushed and held reset while plugging it in, still it flashes yellow.
Any good ideas?
Thanks

When you performed the reset, you returned the Express back to its original new, out of box settings. So, you have to reconfigure it again to with settings for your network. You will not see a green light until you complete this process.
Temporarily, connect a spare Ethernet cable from one of the LAN <-> ports on the AirPort Extreme to the AirPort Express
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click Manual Setup
Click the Base Station tab below the row of icons and assign a name to the Express, a device password and adjust Time Zone settings
Click the Wireless tab and adjust settings to look like this:
Wireless Mode = Extend a wireless network
Wireless Network Name = Same name as the AirPort Extreme wireless network
Enter a check mark next to "Allow wireless clients"
Wireless Security = WPA/WPA2 Personal
Wireless Password = Same password as the AirPort Extreme wirelesss network
Confirm Password
Click Update at the lower right
As soon as you see the message that the settings have been stored successfully, close AirPort Utility and disconnect the Ethernet cable
Wait 40-45 seconds for a green light. Now you can move the Express back to the desired location and plug it back in

Airport express has stopped working when college switched network to 'N'

Hi all,
My university has just switched their wireless to 'N'-band. My airport express ('G') is now upset: not only has airtunes stopped working (I previously had joined it to the dorm wireless network), but I can no longer even access my airport in the Airport Utility (5.3.2).
I've done a hard reset of my airport express and I still cannot access the device via the airport utility. When I click 'rescan', the device is never found.
I have noticed, however, the default network "Apple Network 600eab' appearing among my wireless network choices. Unfortunately, Airport never actually lets me join that network.
Does anyone have any ideas I can try?
Thanks

I've had to go back to firmware 7.4.1 and that seems to work. Anyone know what is up with 7.5.2?

My airport express has stopped working when set to 802.11 b/g

All of a sudden I have basically no signal when my Airport Extreme is set to 802.11n (802.11 b/g compatible). It works fine at 802.11a compatible, but the Playstation 3 needs the g network.

Open the Mac App Store on the other Mac and in the Quick Links sign into your account. See if the Mountain Lion purchase is among hidden apps in the iCloud area of your account info.

By chance have you tried connecting your device to your Desktop (USB Cable) & then opened up the Device Files using iTunes?

I'm trying to create a new ichat Acc because for some reason the old one is not working, so I go to Create an Apple ID and start creating a new apple ID, when I submit the Acc it tells me that my Email address is already verified for another Apple ID and thats the only email address I have... What can I do?

There is no way to consolidate iTunes accounts.
Setting up an iPhone has never required creation of a new Apple ID.
You've apparently purchased content with both Apple ID's. Sign into the device with the correct Apple ID and sync the content.

Cannot access the iCloud mail for some reason I don´t know. Worked perfect until Nov 28th, but a message with "incorrect ID/password" popped up. Contacts and iCal is accessible. Have tried from iPad, Mac, iPhone and PC. Any recommendations?

Reset your password. Be sure your new one meets the requirements for length (8) and characters (at least one upper case and one number).

I want to open a folder in a separate window by clicking on it. For some reason when I click on a folder it just replaces the one I was just in. I want them both to be open at the same time without having to go through several steps.

I want to open a folder in a separate window by clicking on it. For some reason when I click on a folder it just replaces the one I was just in. I want them both to be open at the same time without having to go through several steps. Old apple operating systems made it easy to have several folders open at one time.

Eric, thanks that works but seems like an extra added step also to do it that way. I've got to move and organize a ton of files and I'm looking for a easy way to get this done. I could also open the folder into a separate tab and then drag the tab out so it becomes an open window but thats a lot of fussing around also with extra steps. Not sure why these newer operating system seems more confusing and less user friendly than what they used to. In the past I could just click on any folder and it would open in a separate window making it really easy to copy or move files from one place to the other just by simply dragging them from one window to the other. Seems like I'm going through several extra steps now to do a simple task.
