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".

  • How Do I Set Up My Airport Express From My iPad 2?

    I just got an Airport Express and found that I can only set it up from a Mac or PC. Am I missing something? How can I set it up from my iPad 2? I plan on using it for traveling, but don't want to lug a laptop along, only take my iPad. It seems that it would be necessary at times to change configurations on the Airport Express at times when traveling. There are always unexpected things to have to account for. Having an Airport Express setup utility app on the iPad would seem to be a necessity. Could someone provided guidance for an iPad only solution? Can someone from Apple please weigh in? Thanks.

    While I am not from Apple, there was a leaked screen shot showing a possible Airport configuration utility in the upcoming iOS5.  As suggested, give feedback to Apple to help ensure that the utility does make it to the final version.
    Until then, or if the utility never makes it, then you can get "travel routers" that use web page based configuration just like the typical home routers from Linksys and others.  I have this model from D-Link, which has been replaced by an 802.11n version.  They're small, although the newer one is larger, but still quite portable.

  • 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.

  • How do I remove my HP DeskJet 3510 from my network?

    I recently had to get a new router. I am now connecting my printer (HP DeskJet 3510). I have it connected successfully to my laptop, but a problem appeared after doing so. If I look at my "network connections" at the bottom right of my screen, it shows that my printer is its own unsecured wireless connection. This never happened before with the old router. What did I do wrong and how can I remove the printer from the network? Any help an assistance in this problem will be greatly appreciated!!!

    HI @sparkyIN74 ,
    I see that you are trying to setup the printer on the new router, but right now the printer isn't showing any secured wireless connection. I can help you.
    Most likely it is connected to the Wireless Direct and not your network.
    Restore the printer defaults. Go to Setup, Wireless Menu, Restore Defaults.
    Connect the USB cable from the printer to the computer. This is just temporarily to configure the wireless.
    I have provided a document with the steps for setting up the printer over the network.
    Installing the Printer Software for a Wireless Network Connection.
    Select your operating system, then start at step 4 and in part c, select Convert a USB connected printer to wireless.
    What operating system are you using? How to Find the Windows Edition and Version on Your Computer.
    If you need further assistance, just let me know.
    Have a great day!
    Thank You.

  • How do you remove an unwanted Steam icon from Launchpad?

    I found an answer to this question online after some extensive searching. The answer isn't on the Support Forums, so I thought I'd post a link to the page (to credit the author) and copy / paste the wording below. 
    You don't have to download any dirty third party apps to do this...thanks to Joe!
    FORCE REMOVING ICOMS FROM LAUNCHPAD
    http://joegardiner.co.uk/removing-icons-from-launchpad/
    The standard method for removing app icons from the Lion Launchpad is to hold the left mouse button [or old the Option / Alt key] over the app icon, wait for the cross to appear in the corner of the app icon, and then click it!
    In some cases however app icons can become orphaned, for example if you use on Steam on Mac, deleting local content to uninstall a game will not remove the game icon from Launchpad. This leaves you with an unusable orphaned icon that seems invincible and does not appear in the Application folder along with the rest of your apps.
    The solution is as follows…
    1. Open Launchpad, find the offending icon(s) and drag them to your normal dock.
    2. Right click on the icon that you dragged to your dock and choose ‘Show in Finder’.
    3. Now drag the icon(s) from the Finder windows that opens up into the Trash.
    4. Finally right click on the dock item(s) that you dragged originally and choose ‘Remove from dock’.
    Voila, the icons have disappeared from Launchpad and the annoying orphaned icons that seemed invincible have been thwarted.

  • HT5622 how do I remove an unwanted apple id from my app store updates

    My app store has added a new app to update, unfortunately the ID required is not mine.
    I  dont have this app installed.
    Can anyone show me how to remove this update from my app store

    App store menu > Store > Sign out to remove the apple ID.
    However the program itself may trigger the update notification. You need to uninstall the program corresponding to the update.
    That should stop it.

  • HT1998 How can I administer a Gen 1 Airport Express from Airport Utility 6.3.2 (OS 10.9). I can see the base station but get the message: "This version of AirPort Utility doesn't support this base station. Go to AirPort Service and Support for more inform

    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.

    How can I set up mhy Airport Express to extend my Time Capsule wifi wirelessly
    Assuming that you have the model A1264 or A1392 version of the Express, it must be located where it can receive a strong wireless signal from the Time Capsule to be able to extend it correctly.
    A good general location would be a point that is about half way between the Time Capsule and other area that needs more wireless coverage.
    You will use AirPort Utility on your computer to configure the Express. An iPhone or iPad could be used as well.
    We can provide more help....if you need it....but we'll need to know what version of AirPort Utility that you are using on your computer....or whether you want to use an iPhone or iPad to setup the Express.

  • How do I remove an unwanted toolbar?  I added a radio station to my ibook and it set up its own toolbar so when I go to Safari I have to use it.  It involves using Bing for everything as well.  It's very annoying and I want to remove it.

    How do I remove an unwanted toolbar?  I added a radio station to my ibook and it set up its own toolbar so when I go to Safari I have to use it.  It involves using Bing for everything as well.  It's very annoying and I want to remove it.  I can't just type in a URL and have it go to the site.  It takes me to all of Bing's choices.  Also, when it anticipates what I'm typing (incorrectly) and I have to delete it's guesses all the time.  Can anyone help?

    Have you looked at Safari's menu bar > view> toolbars to see if it can be unchecked from there,also see if there is a button to collapse the toolbar on the bar itself.

  • I have a linksys WRT54G router that we use as a base. I want to use Airplay using Airport Express and hook up my stereo to it. How can i set up my Airport express without a PC/laptop? I just downloaded Airport utility on my iphone and ipad,will that work?

    I have a linksys WRT54G router that we use as a base. I want to use Airplay using Airport Express and hook up my stereo to it. How can i set up my Airport express without a PC/laptop? I just downloaded Airport utility on my iphone and ipad,will that work? And one more thing about the setup, the linksys router shich acts as a base is in a different room as the airport express which i wanted to use for airplay. So I'm hoping to hook up the Airport express via wireless signal. If i can set it up, can someone pls help me out by posting detailed instructions. Thanks so much!

    The first message that AirPort Utility will display during the auto setup will be that the Express will be confgured to "extend" the network. When AirPort Utility analyzes the network further, and sees that the Express cannot "extend" the 3rd party network, the next message will indicate that the Express is being configured to "join" the wireless network.
    Once the Express is configured, if you later go into AirPort Utility to check the settings under the Wireless tab, you will see that the Wireless Mode is indeed "Join a wireless network".

    Take a look at this page for general windows info regarding airport express:

    Assuming your computer connects to the network you want to allow your girlfriend to access you will find the password you require in your keychain.

  • How many people can simultaneously share airport express network?

    How many people can simultaneously share airport express network?  I want to set up a wireless network in my classroom and need to accommodate about 25 devices.

    The AirPort Express will only handle 10 wireless connections.
    You will need to consider an AirPort Extreme....which will handle up to 50 wireless connections.

  • HT1515 How do i get my old AirPort Express (7years old) to work with my new Time Capsule?

    How do i get my old AirPort Express (7years old) to work with my new Time Capsule?

    Does anyone at Apple have help for this sort of question - I too have an old printer (HP LaserJet 5MP) that I would like to keep using on my Mac. (Mac OSX 10.6.8).
    I got it working by getting a USB cord that connects to it - but every once in a while it just stops working for weeks. The mac 'sees' it and it sends the data because the printer lights start blinking but then it just doesn't do anything. Is there no one who can tell me (and raterada) how to get some new life into these old printers. I would rather not add this (and a new toner cart) to the landfill just yet. . .
