HT204057 How can I back up with AirPort Express? I have a flash memory.

I want to back up my Mental case 2  information. How can I do it with my AirPort Express?

Sorry, but the USB port on the AirPort Express does not support storage devices, and thus, cannot be used as a destination for backups. For Apple products you would need to use either the AirPort Extreme or Time Capsule for this purpose.

    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 can I use my old AirPort Express?

    How can I use my old AirPort Express (the one that plugs right into the wall without a power cable) to stream music to a stereo when I am using the new Airport Express?  The AirPort Utility 6.1 will not recognize the old AirPort Express.

    Apple does not make it easy for you to use an older device when they want you to buy newer devices.
    See this link for tips on how to install a version of AirPort Utility on Mountain Lion that will allow you to configure your older Express:
    http://www.macworld.com/article/1167965/mountain_lion_and_the_ancient_airport_ba se_station.html
    This is not supported by Apple, so it is your decision on whether you want to move forward with this. It works fine for me, but I cannot guarantee that it will work for you, nor offer support if you have difficulty.

  • 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".

  • How can i use my old airport express with my new imac and wireless hp print

    i just bought my first imac (intel) and a wireless hp printer. i now realize that a wireless connection between my imac and my printer needs a router.
    i have an airport express base station, which is a few years old. I can't find my documentation, so i don't know its specifications.
    how can i find out the specs of the airport express i have and whether i can use it now? it says that it is model a1084 100-240v~ 0.2a 50-60 hz.
    does that tell any knowledgeable people out there about the specs? can i search the apple website by serial number and find the specs?
    thank all of you potential responders ahead of time.

  • How can i change my old airport express password with mavericks

    I just bought a new TV and I am trying to connect to my wi-fi, which runs via an old Airport Express. The TV manufacturer says that I should try changing my password from a WEP to WPA - but it seems that I can't even access my Airport Express because it's not supported by Mavericks. Is there a work-around, or do I need to upgrade my Airport Express? It's running fine otherwise - supports multiple laptops and iPhone.

  • How to output surround sound with airport express N

    is this possible? I am streaming successfully with airport express, sounds great with no audio dropouts. I have it hardwired to my router and the AX is connected optical to my surround receiver. Music is only played through my fronts. Is there a way to output surround sound? I can't even choose different audio options through my A/V receiver.

    I Found out the problem. When I was hooking everything up, I kept the t.v. on so I can assign audio inputs with the onscreen display. If the T.V. is left on....only stereo outputted. When I turned the t.v. off and with the airport express plugged into AUX, I was able to switch between surround sound settings.
    so the moral of the story is, turn off video devices when you just want sound, especially if they are hooked up to the AVR with HDMI.

  • Will be renting a condo with an ethernet cord.  Can I plug this into Airport Express and have wifi?

    I will be renting a condo with an ethernet cord available.  Can I simply plug this into my Airport express and have wifi for computers, iphone, and printer?

    As long as the Ethernet cord leads to a router connected to the Internet, then yes, it will do all that.
    What you want to do is the reason a lot of people bring an Airport Express with them on trips. They plug it into the hotel room Ethernet port and bam, their laptops and phones have wireless Internet.
    If you don't already have a password on your Airport Express, now would be a good time to add one, especially if Internet usage is metered. Just to keep others from getting onto your network.

  • How can I manage an older airport express base station with Mountain Lion?

    This version of AirPort Utility doesn't support this base station. Use AirPort Utility 5.6 to configure or manage this base station. AirPort Utility 5.6 is available at AirPort Service and Support."
    I tried to install AirPort Utility 5.6 on my Mac OSX 10.8 Mac Book and it will not allow me to.  How do I manage my "older" airport?

    The 5.6 version can be installed but it does take an alternative route to do so. For example, you can use a utility like Pacifist to first extract the utility, and then, move it to the Utilities folder. Once "installed" by this method, it runs just fine on Mountain Lion.

  • Can I do this with airport express?

    We have a LAN (3 pc's wired connected) and a wireless router for serving an iphone and a laptop (wireless) This router (not an Apple router) is also an ADSL modem and is wired connected to our LAN providing internet.
    We have another computer with only ethernet port (not wireless) in another room. Is it possible to connect this pc to an airport express via ethernet, and make it join our network? How we can call this? Client mode, bridge mode, extend our wireless network?
    OR we must have an apple airport extreme to do this (as the main router?)

    The wireless usb adapter, can connect directly to the main wireless router...
    Yes, that's correct. You could always use the old Express for streaming AirTunes if you wanted, or connect a printer to the USB port to allow multiple devices to use the same printer over the network.
    If you travel regularly, and the hotel has an available ethernet port, you can setup your own wireless network in the room and usually connect multiple devices.
    Finally, if you don't want the Express, I would be happy to take it off your hands

  • Can't extend network with Airport Express on Sky Broadband

    Hello,
    I'm having some difficulty that's driving me bananas!
    I've recently moved house and got Sky Broadband. They sent me their Sagemcom router and the setup was easy. I thought I'd do what I always do. I'll connect my Time Machine to it via ethernet, and connect via Time Machine's network. Then I have two Airport Expresses in the house to extend the network and use Airplay etc.
    I can set up the Expresses with no problem, everything talks to everything without a problem and the lights are all green  but the network isn't getting extended with either of them. I refuse to believe they're both broken as I also borrowed an Express form my Dad's house (which extend the network without a problem) and it doesn't work with me.
    Extend my network is checked in the Manual Setup in Airport Utility but for the life of me I can't get my network extended.
    I have done tests where I replaced Time Machine and made one of the Expresses the main base station and it throws signal out easily like that but I can't extend that network with the second Express.
    I followed this thread https://discussions.apple.com/message/13171691?messageID=13171691 and have tried a few things to no avail. Currently I have configured an old Airport Extreme (just to keep testing) which works great and have set up an Express wirelessly. All lights are green and the settings seem to all be correct. I turn wifi off on my computer and connect to my computer from the Express using ethernet and nothing. Should I get a connection like this?
    Is it Sky? I have read in a few places that Sky have disabled the ability to extend their network but I'm not eve using the signal from their box.
    Any ideas or thoughts will be gratefully received.
    Thanks in advance.

    OK so I've been tying it out but unfortunately to no success. Everything looks fine and all lights are green but the network isn't getting extended - just as before.
    Click the Wireless tab
    Wireless Mode = Extend a wireless network
    Wireless Network Name = Same name as the Time Capsule network
    Check Mark next to Allow Wireless Clients
    I don't have an option to extend a network, only to join: http://flic.kr/p/a222kR
    I do get the option though if I use the guided setup, even though it doesn't work: http://flic.kr/p/a24TQQ
    I did try one other thing though. I set up the Time Capsule and it works great. Then I tried instead, to use my Airport Extreme to extend the network. The Extreme did give me an option to extend the network in the drop down menu and a checkbox to Allow Wireless Clients, unlike the Express. I do believe that this is now working. I now need to find the best place to put it to extend the range.
    My Expresses are only 802.11g so they're pretty old but as I said, it worked at my Dad's house but not here. Does it make a difference that the Airport Base Station at my Dad's house is an older UFO shaped Snow Airport? I'm becoming suspicious that seeing as I've only ever lived in small houses and apartments that maybe they never worked?? I've recently moved into a more spacious house so could this be the problem?
    One final test using iStumbler showed that it could see Apple Network XXXXxX until I configured it. Once it was configured it disappeared from iStumbler. The Airport ID number had gone from the list.
    Do I need newer n compatible Airport Expresses then? So many questions pop up now... When I turned my Express into the base station (which only throws out a g network) then surely I should be able to extend to the next Express (which is also g only)? It still didn't work. The Express are on version 6.3 by the way. Having the Extreme extend the network is a good start but I also need the others to work too. Do you think I'm correct in my assumption?
    How about WDS, could that work? Will WDS slow the network considerably?
    Sorry if this message is rather long and garbled and again, thanks for your interest and advice.

  • How can i connect my existing airport express to my new time capsule network?

    I have an older airport express for wirelessly extending my network in my apartment. I bought a new Time Capsule and my airport express flashes amber and cannot find the time capsule to connect. How do I get them connected?

    You can use the USB3 connections for USB2.  That's downward compatible.  Just runs at USB2 speed.
    Just this week apple announced a couple of TB adapters, TB-to-ethernet and TB-to-firewire.  But the FW adapter is not at the apple store as yet (at least at the time I am posting this).

  • How to setup wireless printing with AirPort Express?

    Hey, I just bought a AirPort Express today and I can't figure out how to setup the usb wireless printing. Could someone explain in detail on how to do this? Thanks-Michael
    I have a Windows 7 64-bit PC and a Hp Deskjet F380 USB printer.

    Download the install Bonjour Print Services for Windows v2.0.2
    Run the program. Hopefully, your printer will be recognized.
    If it is, "install" the printer and try to print.
    Keep in mind that if you have an All-in-One type of device, that only the print function will be supported.
    Advanced features like copy, scan, maintenance, etc are not supported. You will need to connect the All-in-One directly to your PC if you need those services.
