HT4259 when i plug in the airport express i can't find it in the aiport utilities
I need help setting up the Airport Exress as an extender of my Airport Extreme. I am folowing all the instructions and I still cannot find it in the utilities when I open it.
Move the AX to the same room or area as the AirPort Extreme
Please perform a Factory Default Reset of the AirPort Express (AX) as follows:
Power the AX down and wait a few minutes
Hold in the reset button on the AX and keep holding it for 9-10 seconds while you simultaneously plug the AX back in to power
Release the reset button after the hold period and allow 40-45 seconds for the AX to display a slow, blinking amber light
Open AirPort Utility and look at the tab in the upper right corner of the screen and you should see.....
Other AirPort Base Stations (1)
Click on this tab, then click on AirPort Express xxxxxx
AirPort Utility will take a few minutes to analyze your network and suggest that the AX be configured to extend your network
Accept this choice and wait another few minutes for the configuration
You should receive a message that the AX has been configured and see a green light
Unplug the AX and move it to a location that is approximately half the distance from the AirPort Extreme to the area that needs more wireless coverage.

Updated iTunes to 11.0.3 and now when I try to use Airport Express I get a message in iTunes that states, "an unknown error has occured (-15000.) I gave the Airport a hard re-start, so I don't think that is the issue. Using Windows 7 Ultimate
Looks like I fixed it., thanks to another post I read. I went into my Norton Security. Under Settings. Chose Firewall. Program rules. changed the itunes setting from "auto" to "allow" This also fixed my error (-3212) which would not allow me to connect to the iTunes store.

I have just bought apple tv which allows me to play music through airport express but when chose to watch a movie the audio comes from the tv and does not give option listen through other speakers served through airport express. Can you help me ?
No, you cannot seperate the audio and video stream.
You can use optical audio to a sound system (I use sony sound bar) and play the audio via that.

I need an ethernet cable connection to a non-wireless device that isn't near my current airport express. Can I buy an extra one to plug in near the non wireless device to receive the wireless data and put the signal out in ethernet form?
Yes, you can.
This is a special feature of the AirPort Express 802.11n. You will have to set it up "manually" to "enable Ethernet clients".
If your "main" AirPort Express is an 802.11n version, it is also possible to setup the second Express to "extend a wireless network" to provide additional wireless coverage in addtion to enabling the Ethernet port.
If you need the steps, post back to let us know what operating system you are using on the Mac or PC that will be used for the setup of the new AirPort Express. -
When playing my i-tunes library through my hi-fi via Airport Express, how can I get i-Tunes to play a single album and then stop, without continuing on through my entire library? It's a problem that doesn't occur when listening on my i-pod.
Hey everyone in Apple world!
I figured out how to fix the flashing yellow screen problem that I've been having on my MBP! Yessssss!!!
I found this super handy website with the golden answer: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
I followed the instructions on this page and here's what I did:
Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
I went through the 6 steps above twice, just to make sure I got rid of whatever stuff was holding up my bootup process. Since I did that, my MBP boots up just like normal. No flashing yellow screen anymore!!
(Note that I arrived at this solution when I first saw this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570?viewlocale=en_US)
Let me know if this works for you!

I can no longer scan from printer (Canon Pixma MP240) when it is connected to Airport Express, although printing is no affected. However, when connected directly to MBP scanning works fine. I have tried all the standard remedies; reinstalling drivers, resetting printer system, selecting sharing options, but no luck. Previous to Mountain Lion this function worked fine. Any ideas how to regain this capability?
Thanks,
J.I'm almost completely certain that the scanning feature worked before the update. Having said that though, I don't scan a great deal and it may be the case that when I have done, the printer was directly connected to the MBP. However, since I have a laptop it's far more logical that I would have had the printer connected to Airport Express for reasons of portability so I can't really see that I would have had the printer connected directly to the laptop. Besides this, I have no memory of having this problem previously. Therefore, I don't think my memory is to blame although of course, if it were I'd have no way of knowing!

ITunes shows time out error when trying to play on Airport Express.
Time out error when trying to play on Airport Express. This started with an iTunes update, problems has to be with iTunes, Airport Express appears to be communicating fine, even shows when speakers are not connected.
Same here, though on XP. Have tried cleaning registry, reinstalling, deleting preferences. Created a new user with no library and I have the problem there, too, so it's not the library.
Is there no one to call about this?? -
I'm getting poor performance from my apple TV, will plugging in my airport express via ethernet to apple tv increase its performance (poor wi-fi signal)
Yes, though it is less ideal than what I suggested earlier. You would need to place your AirPort Express in a location approximately midway between your AirPort Extreme Base Station and the TV. Then, using AirPort Utility, configure it to "extend a wireless network".
It may help. Bear in mind the signal thus "extended" by the Express can only be as good as the signal it can receive from the Extreme. That is the reason for selecting its appoximate midway location.
Read about it here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4145
Scroll down to "Wirelessly Extended Network (802.11n)" for a picture.
This solution requires an all-Apple wireless network. No third party stuff.
You mentioned using Ethernet. That would be a better idea. Scroll down to "Roaming Network (Ethernet-connected Wi-Fi base stations)" for a picture. In your case, the longer the Ethernet cable - hence the closer you can move the Express to the TV - the better -
My iPhone 5 with iOS 6.1.3 keeps crashing at 45%!when my iPhone nears 45% from a full charge it suddenly says the phone is 20% then 10% then 1% and then it goes dead.when I plug in the charger instead of waitin a few minutes for it to turn on,it instantly turns on and says the battery is 45%!this is OK at home where I can keep the charger plugged in but what about when im on the go?PLEASE HELP!!!
This is most likely faulty battery. Make Genius reservation or set up service and take or send to Apple for resolution under Warranty.

So even if I just ask to pay them to replace the lock button they won't because my screens are third-party?
Apple does not repair devices beyond replacing the screen on some models or a battery replacement. They replace the ENTIRE device.
For the Out of Warranty replacement cost, you could have gotten a fully functional replacement device. Instead you chose to spend less to get only the screen replaced and continue to live with additional issues.
Apple will not touch the device now. They will know that it was opened elsewhere and that the replacement screen is not original. -
Ever since updating to new OS, my iphone won't sync to itunes. When I plug in the phone to the PC, dialog box says I need to update itunes to 10.6.3 or later. I did that update, but still get the same error message.
Can anyone offer suggestions?
Thanks!Since it told me to update, I updated to 10.7.
Then when I plugged in the phone again, it gave the same message that I need to update itunes. -

I dont know why it happens. I clos my mac, it goes to sleep and when it is already sleeping if i plug the charger then it wakes up, or at least the fans and the white led light near to the infrared thing turns on. And this also happens if it is sleeping with the charger plugged and whenever i want to quit the plug cause its already charged it turns on. All this happens with the lid (top cover) closed and only when it is sleeping and I unplug when it is pluged, or plug if it is not. I have some more Macbook pro olders 2010, and 2009-8 with 10.9.2, and this thing does not happen to them. Please if someone knows tell me??? If it is not clear is the Macbook Pro 13 with 3.0 usb, disk drive, the latest that apple announced with the disk drive, so i think it is late 2012 or 2013
There are two distinct sets of settings for Energy-Saver items -- one for Battery, one for Power Adapter.
When you plug in the adapter, it needs to wake up and change over to the other settings -- sort of like the hospital waking you up to be sure you get your sleeping pill.
The later versions of Power Management are more sophisticated than older versions, so they are more likely to do this "correctly" -- to wake up and change over. -
I just got a new ipod 5 and when I plugged in the charging cord that came with it, it says it is not supported, and may not charge. It worked the first few times, but now it won't charge at all.
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. The cable as well as the iPod, is covered by the warranty.

I have bought an ipad, and when i go to reset it, it needs the restrictions password which i dont know. When i plug it into itunes, it asks to turn find my iphone off, which needs the password of the old owners itunes.What should i do?
If you're able to contact the person who set the lock, send them this link and tell them to follow its instructions.
If not, you can't use the device but may be able to get it refunded. Apple won't remove the lock for anyone other than the original owner(assuming they're alive.)
