How do I update the software on my Airport Express?

Hello everyone,
I have an Airport Extreme base station acting as WDS and an Airport Express station. I recently upgraded the security on the Airport Extreme base station from 128-WEP to WPA (Personal), but I don't know whether I have to do something to the Airport Express base station. It's green light is on. Do I need to do something? Also, how do I update the software in the Express? Whenever I open the Airport Admin Utility, the only thing that comes up on a scan is my Extreme base station. Any advice would be most appreciated.

yes you need to update your Airpost Express. I just went through this last week with two of my Airport Expresses. I updated my Base and my Remote's light was green but was unable to view it in Airport Admin Utility. So this is what I ended up doing and it works great.
First bring the Airport Express you are working on in the same room as your computer......just the ease of seeing what is going on with the Airport Express. Next you need to reset it.....take a paper clip and push in the little button next to the Audio port and hold in 10 seconds. Then unplug the unit wait 10 seconds and plug it back in. wait about 3 minutes and then you will need to use Airport Set Up Assistant. You will need to make sure you have WPA Personal on your Airport Express too.
don't forget to make sure you have the update firmware too.

    You needing to be running iOS 5 or later in order to do a Software Update from the device.  To run iOS 5 you need a 3G or 4G iPod Touch.  So if you really have a 4G iPod Touch, connect it to iTunes and you should be prompted about an update to its version of iOS.

  • I have a 2002 imac, how do i update the software?

    i have a 2002 imac, how do i update the software? i have the original software and it wont let me update itunes! help!!

    Apple seldom leaves of old versions of iTunes compatible with a 12-year old computer on the web site. What OSX version is currently on the iMac?
    If you need a newer version of itunes to support an iPad, iPod, or iPhone, your computer is too old. Full support for Apple iDevices requires Mac OS 10.6.8; a 2002 iMac is limited to no higher than 10.4.11, or maybe 10.5.8 with a hack. Still, not enough for working with current mobile devices.

  • HT4623 My ipod touch does not have the option "software update." It currently has the version4.2.1. How do I update the software?

    How do I update the software?

    Sounds like your ipod version is too old like 2nd version. Call apple to verify. 4.2.1 is a Marker as the highest older devices can go. If itunes or your computer operating system is old or not updated it can say this is current.

  • Update the firmware on my airport express from 7.4.2 to 7.5.2

    When I press update the firmware on my airport express from 7.4.2 to 7.5.2 using the airport tool says:
    This device and its network service is temporarily unavailable. will you continue?
    When I press deliberately and pressed into the code goes started to download the update, but come quickly with this message:
    Airport Utility could not find the AirPort wireless device after restarting. You may need to select your network manage network connections and try again.
    But my airport lights up green as if it works and I may well be on the net and listen wireless music.
    How do I get updated firmware?

    Chances are, the update was downloaded and installed successfully.
    Try powering down your entire network....every device.....order is not important
    Wait a few minutes
    Start the modem first and let it run for 2-3 minutes by itself
    Start the next device connected to the modem the same way
    Continue starting devices one at a time about a minute apart until everything is powered back up

  • HT1338 my mac is not connected to the internet. How can I update the software?

    I want to update the software of my mac pro but it is not and cannot be connected to the internet. Is there some way to do this?

    Sure, you can download the disc image (.dmg) and zipped (.zip) files onto your PC. Then transfer them to a FAT32 (MSDOS) formatted flash drive that you can then read and copy onto the Mac. Just do not attempt to open either type of file on the PC which can result in corrupting the files once copied onto the Mac.
    Might I ask why you cannot connect the Mac Pro to your internet connection?

  • HT4972 my iphone 3gs does not have the update software button how do i update the software

    my iphone 3gs does not have the update software button how do i update it?

    It isn't in the device pane. If you have selected your iPhone, then on the right side you should see information on what is contained on your iPhone. There should be a number of tabs towards the top, Summary, Info, Music, Photos, etc. Not necessarily in that order. On the Info tab is where you should find the tab. It should look like this.
