How to set up iHM79 speakers with airport express?

I've got the green light on the express.. i can see it fine in airport utility. I've told iTunes to play thru the express. But the express does not seem to realize it has speakers attached to it. All i did was plug the speakers into teh express. I notice that in airport utility, it wants to know the name of the speakers. Well, near as i can tell, the speakers don't have a name, and there are very few directions that came with them, so i am lost.
How do i tell the express that it's got speakers attached so that i can play music thru them wirelessly?

You can use AirPort Utility (in the Music panel) to give the speakers a name. That can be useful if you have more than one set of speakers attached to separate AirPort Express units so that you can distinguish between them in iTunes.
I can't find a way to name the speakers.. it just asks me what the name of the speakers i want to use is.

Can you see the speakers in iTunes? One thing you may have forgotten to do is to check "Enable AirTunes" in that same Music panel of AirPort Utility.
I had that done, but it didn't matter. I could see the express in iTunes, but not the speakers specifically.
However, i have gotten it all to work by starting over. I ran across a tutorial here, telling me to plug the speakers into the express and THEN plugging the express into the wall, and then setting the express up with airport utility. So i restored it to default factory settings at that point and started from scratch. Voila! I still don't see names for the speakers, but they play music, so i'm not arguing.
Now I've left my daughter to figure out where to find the app for her iPod Touch to remotely control things.

Problems setting up remote speakers with Airport Express

I have an airport express hooked up with powered speakers via a mini pin stereo connector/rca connectors. I have checked "Enable Airplay" in the Airport Utility configuration for this AE, which is my ONLY wifi device and functions as my router as well. In iTunes, there is NO speaker selection tab on the bottom right of the iTunes window. I am using iTunes 10, latest version, and the Airport Utility software is up to date. The base station is an 802.11g. I believe I have tried everything. Correct answer anyone?

Temporarily, try plugging a pair of headphones into the audio jack on the Express to simulate speakers.
Restart the entire network.
Same error message when you try this?

Bose companion 2 speakers with airport express?

Will these speakers work with airport express? Do I need any additional wires?

Either the Bose or JBL will work fine and both are supplied with the audio cables that you will need to connect to the AirPort Express.

How to Set Up Time Capsule With Airport Extreme and Airport Express

Just got a new 1TB Time Capsule. I want it to be the main base station for my network. I already have a network set up with an older Airport Extreme base station and an Airport Express to extend it. I am thinking that rather than setting up the Time Capsule to "join" the old network, the best approach is to disconnect the Airport Extreme and Airport Express and reset them. Then set up the Time Capsule as a brand new network and bring the reset Aiport Extreme and Express onto the new network as if my original network never existed.
Is that the right approach or am I complicating it? Can I just join the Time Capsule to the existing network and still make it the main base station for the network?

I'd first use AirPort Utility to "Save a Copy As" of your AirPort Extreme settings. Then disconnect it, connect the Time Capsule in its place, and use AirPort Utility's "Import" function to read those settings. (Both of those functions are under AirPort Utility's "File" menu.) You may have to adjust a few settings. Once you have the Time Capsule working as you want, you can reconfigure your AirPort Extreme unit as you wish.

HT4587 How to set up an older version Airport Express on the 6.2 Utility

I have a older version of Aiport Express (M9470LL/A model A1084) and I get the following message when I try to set it up with the Airport Utility Version 6.2 on my iMac with Snow Leopard 10.8.2. -
"This version of AirPort Utility doesn’t support this base station. Go to AirPort Service and Support for more information."
Any advice on how to set it up ?

Mountain Lion no longer supports the older A1084 AirPort Express that you have.
If you want to try a workaround.....not supported by Apple.....see this article to find out how to add another version of AirPort Utility that will work with Mountain Lion and hopefully allow you to configure the AirPort Express that you have.

How to connect to multiple speakers using Airport Express

Hi -- I have two AP Express modules setup and working in my household. I have no problems using either from my iBook G4.
How do I use them both at the same time? I cannot find an appropriate way to set this up?

Welcome to Apple Discussions
Since you are at 10.4.7, I'm assuming iTunes is at least 6.0.2. If not, upgrade the app via Software Update or Apple's iTunes site to the latest v 6.0.5.
Since both units work individually, I'd say the problem lies in how the 2 units are configured. Are you using the latest 6.3 firmware for Airport express? To determine your version, download the firmware, select install. The ensuing panel will tell you the latest version for your units. Upgrade if you are using an earlier version of the firmware.
Post back with results.

How do I extend my WiFi with Airport Express? I have Ethernet in the house and an Wifi that do not cover the whole house. I do not get it to work.

I have Ethernet in the house and an Wifi that do not cover the whole house. I do not get it to work. I have tried to get it into my network and it get connected via the WiFi but not the Ethernet. Also when it gives a green light I cannot see that it is giving any signals to my devices (iPhone etc).

You need to pay attention to something, while extending your network with the latest AirPort Express upgrade, your devices will be connected to it except your iPhone, you'll see your iPhone always connected to the capsule instead, even if you're at 1 foot from the AirPort Express.
You need to change the radio settings from automatic to 802.11a - 802.11b/g on your capsule, then I put it back to the default settings...
Now in the AirPort utility you should see your iPhone connected to the AirPort

Multiple Speakers with Airport Express

Since the release of iTunes sometime back in feb/mar, I'm so happy to be able to stream music through multiple speakers in different rooms in my house. However, since I installed the latest iTunesSetup dated 2006-06-28 release v6.05, I am unable to play to more than 1 set of speakers, sometimes even only limited to "My Computer". The error message was something like 'could not access the speaker'.
I've also doublechecked latest firmware and there was none released after http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/airportexpressfirmwareupdate63forwindows. html
I don't see anyone here with similar problems since there seems to be none posted after Jun 28 on this issue.
Can any expert help?

# Click the Firewall tab.
# Click the Advanced button.
# Make sure that the option to "Block UDP Traffic" is not selected.
Thks so much for the reply! My PCs are behind the router and the firewall is not on in this case. I do use the zonealarm normally for other PCs.
As far as I know, on XPProSP2 we can unblock UDP traffic and normally need to specify which ports though, not universal unblock.
Any other clues?

How do i use my time capsule and extend the network with airport express

I have a new iMac and Time Capsule, how do i extend the network with airport express. My time capsule does have a guest net work, and logins and passwords? I am no computer person. So for me it would have to be spelled out.

Use the search as this has been done to death ..
Bob Timmons is the expert on this.. look at his answers here.

This has been automated in the v6 utility. I am used to doing it manually in v5 utility which is also fairly easy.
Apple doco is also good to read.

Note.
You cannot extend the guest network unless everything is up to date 7.6.3 firmware. And that is only with the TC as the main router in the network.
All apple routers can be configured as the main wireless or as the extend wireless.. so don't worry if a post uses express or extreme or TC.. they are for wireless, the same thing.

Trying to set up wireless network on PC with Airport Express

I'm helping a friend set up his network with AirPort Express. He's got a modem attached to his PC, and currently has a router that sends a wireless signal to a receiver on the PC in the other room. Now he's added a Mac, and the old router/receiver doesn't work with Mac. So he bought an Airport Express.
I've turned on the Airport, and first I connected the ethernet cable from the modem to the AirPort. Per the AirPort utility I put on the PC, it couldn't find it (got the flashing amber light). So then I took out that ethernet, and I hooked up the ethernet directly from the CPU to the AirPort. Suddenly, it was found, and it took me step by step through the set up. It asked for password info from our internet provider (??why would I have that info??), so we just hit "enter". Then it couldn't set up the network, and said to check the "manage network settings". I've tried everything. Not only can I NOT manage to create a network, but now NEITHER ethernet cable will cause any recognition in the AirPort. All I get is the blinking amber light. I'm about to throw all the computers out the window...it really should not be this difficult. I've set up networks in my own home, before, with both PC and Mac, and never had these problems. So, now, I've had to relink up the old router/receiver in order to send out this call for help. Can anyone suggest anything else to try before I use these computers for target practice?
Thanks in advance,
Jennifer
P.S. The main PC w/modem is on Vista with service pack 2.0...since I can't even get that one working with AirPort, I hardly think it matters what the other computers are...

I had some initial problems too. Make sure that you have the latest Airport Utility in the utilities folder. I used that to correct the problems I had when I first got Time Machine. I recommend resetting everything through there to get it working right.
Mine is not set up to run an n network because my macs are all g and b compatible. Does the airport utility see the time machine? And if so, does it have a green light in the utility?

Outdoor Speakers and Airport Express

Hi everyone,
I'm looking at rock speakers to put in my backyard and connect to airport express, these ones especially:
http://www.outdoorspeakerdepot.com/hf5.html
Can anyone give me a rundown on how to use these speakers with airport express and what kind of things I'll need besides them to get them to work with Airport Express?
Any instructions would be greatly appreciated, I've looked all around and can't find any help so far.

This may be possible. The AirPort Express is an AirPlay capable device. If your current wireless speakers are also AirPlay capable, then you should be able to stream to both these wireless speakers and to speakers connected to the Express via an analog/digital audio cable simultaneously or separately.
