I moved my airport express and now the light is solid orange. What is wrong?

Solid amber is an indication that the AirPort Express has locked up, or that an internal electrical component has failed.
Power off the Express for a few minutes, then power it up again. If the solid amber light persists, the next step would be to perform a Factory Default Reset on the Express to see if that will clear the lockup so the Express can be re-configured.

I just replaced my airport extreme and now the amber light on my airport express is flashing and so it is not being recognized. I have been on the computer and gone to airport utility and it is simply not showing up at all. What can I do?

I just replaced my airport extreme and now the amber light on my airport express is blinking. When I go to utilities and try to find the airport express it does not show up.
What should I do?

Anytime you change networking hardware it is always a good idea to perform a complete power recycle of that hardware. Check out the following AirPort User Tip for details. Please post back your results.

In the good old days of Snow Leopard, an open Finder folder had a border along the bottom of the window which could show the number of items in that window and the total available space on the hard disk or partition that folder resides on. That bottom border is gone in Lion and those two bits of information are gone with it. Is that what you're talking about? If so, I'd like to learn how to get it back too and "Show Item Info" is not the way.

Added an AirPort express and now I have audio problems...

Hello here,
I enjoyed to have music streamed at the same time to my two AirPort Express in two different rooms until yesterday. Today I added a new Airport Express and now I have problems to stream the audio to all the three bases at the same time: sometimes the audio signal is dropped by some AirPort randomly. Here is my configuration:
1. One AirPort Extreme base station (main base)
2. Three AirPort Express
3. All the AirPort bases (4 total) are connected at the same Network through WDS (the main base is the AirPort Extreme one)
4. All the bases are updated to the latest firmware.
Any idea? Maybe the data is too much for the network to be handled? Isn't supposed to have limits, right? Theorically I could add as many AirPort Express bases I want without to have audio drops... or not?
Any help is very welcome.
Thank you in advance.
Sincerely,
Fabrizio

An 802.11g network has maximum real-world bandwidth of about 25 Mbps; most people will get less than that. Taking into consideration the 2.1 Mbps worth of audio streaming bandwidth (3 x 700 kbps) and the significant decrease in bandwidth inherent in a WDS network as complex as yours, I'm not at all surprised that you're having dropouts.
If you could run Ethernet to one or more of the Expresses from your AEBS (using an Ethernet switch if necessary), you could increase your effective wireless bandwidth to the point where your drop-outs should cease.

I have tryed to connect an AirPort Express to my wireless network. But I alwais get the errocode -4. Can anybody help. I have reset the AirPort Express and updated the software.

The ZyXEL P-2601HN-F1, as you know, is a combination DSL modem & 802.11n wireless router (or gateway device).
For your goal you will want to take a look at this Apple Support article for details on how to configure an AX for iTunes.
If you are still having difficulties with the AX joining the ZyXEL's wireless network, you can try the following:
Temporarily disable wireless encryption.
If you are hidding the SSID, disable that feature.
Change the Mode Select setting to: 802.11g Only
Change the Channel Selection from "Auto" to a set channel, like 1, 6, or 11

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
Open iTunes.
Select your Apple TV in the Source list, and then click Restore.

I cannot connect on WiFi using my Airport Express even though the light is green

Why can't I connect via WiFi even though my Airport Express shows a green light?

Hi Jose,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you can't connect to your wireless network, trying these steps first can help to isolate the issue:
Check your range to the Wi-Fi router and reduce the effect of interference.If your computer is too far from your Wi-Fi router or your environment has too much Wi-Fi interference, then your computer may not detect the Wi-Fi network properly. The easiest way to check for range limits with your Wi-Fi network is to move your computer or your Wi-Fi router closer together and make sure that there are no obstructions (such as walls, cabinets, and so forth) between the router and your computer.See Potential sources of wireless interference for more information about interference and solutions.
Try connecting to a different Wi-Fi network. If your computer works fine when connected to a different Wi-Fi network, then the issue may be related to your network router...

I cleaned my screen with methid galss and surface cleaner and now the color is off on my screen...What can I do?

Clean it again, very carefully with a cloth dampened with water only (NOT WET), if it will not come back to normal you can have the screen replaced by Apple, this will not be under warranty.
From now on just use a damp (NOT WET) cloth and a lot of care.
Never spray on the screen, always have the iMac off when cleaning with any kind of conductive fluids (water)

HT1414 my daughter has iphone 3gs and it required an update , so i connected the iphone to itunes for update and the iphone locked up, I had to reset back to factory settings and now the iphone will not activate , what can i do

My daughter has an iphone 3gs and it required an update. So i connected the iphone to itunes for the update and the iphone locked up . I had to reset the iphone back to factory settings and now the iphone will not activate , Please advise what i can do to get this working for her ?

Generally this is a sign that the iPhone had previously been
hacked/modified/jailbroken and the update relocked it to the
original wireless carrier. If this is the case, only that wireless
carrier can unlock your iPhone. You must contact them to see
if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
Where did you acquire this iPhone?
What wireless carrier did you use before this problem?
Does the app Cydia appear on your iPhone?
What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>About=>Carrier?

I changed my password on Airport Express and now can't connect in iTunes. It does not ask for password ,I just see trying to connect and it fails. How do I enter new password in iTunes when it just keeps trying to connect ?

When I select the Airport Express as Remote Speaker in Itunes I just see trying to connect and it can't connect.
I changed my password on the Airport and I don't see where I can put in the new password in Itunes.
This problem is on my Imac. On my Mac Pro a window came up asking for password to connect because it was the first time.
I can connect on the Mac Pro but not my Imac.

Update on my problem connecting in Itunes with my Airport Express. Not sure if anything I tried made a difference
but I finally got the Pop up window saying this device requires a Password. I entered the password and I can once again use the Airport Express as a remote speaker.

Airport express and flashing amber light

Decided to go wireless to take advantage of new printer with wireless capablities. ibook bought in 01 did not have airport card, so got refurb airport card (802.11g). Bought Airport express at local shop (AX?). Put in Airport card by self without problem (impressed wife). Set up AX with Airport assistant. Have DSL modem through earthlink (Netopia). First window; set up new base station. Check. Second window; identify new wireless network. Check. Third window; Choice between connection with a home router or direct connection between internet and base station with a DSL modem. Naturally, initially choose DSL modem. Next window security; 128 WEP (more compatible with older wireless) or WPA2 ( more secure). Go with WPA2. Next windows PPoE account name/passwords, etc. Set up complete. Result: Can not connect to internet. Error window: can't find server. Airport icon in menu bar displaying "looking for PPoE host" Of note, the light on the AX is solid green. Reset the AX. Try again using the 128 WEP security with same result. Reset the AX. Try again using the home router choice instead of DSL modem with WPA2 security. Same result. Reset the AX. Try again with home router choice and 128 WEP security. Result: Can connect to internet, but can not connect with printer and light on AX is now flashing amber! Wife not impressed. Why doesn't the DSL modem choice work since that is what I have and what does "looking for PPPoE host" mean? Do I have the PPPoE account name/password wrong. Why does the AX light flash amber if I am connected to the internet? Am I still secure? Why can I not print if I am indeed connected to the wireless network (the printer is on, on the printer list, etc)? Thoughts welcomed prior to spending the bucks to talk to a support tech.

I need to verify which AirPort card (the original or the Extreme) you installed in your iBook. The 2001 iBook models were AirPort ready, meaning they can only work with the original AirPort card. (ref: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107908)
or WPA2 ( more secure). Go with WPA2
WPA2 would be the best choice, except if you installed the original AirPort card which doesn't support WPA2. However, it will work with WPA if it meets certain requirements.
Airport icon in menu bar displaying "looking for PPoE host"
When using DSL service that requires PPPoE for connectivity and a wireless router, the router is the only device required to be set up for PPPoE access. All wireless Mac computers connecting to the router need to be setup for DHCP access, as follows:
System Preferences > Network > Show > Network Port Configurations
- Verify that an AirPort option exists. If it does not, click "New" to create one. - Verify that AirPort is "On" (checked)
- Verify that AirPort is at the top of the list. If it isn't, you can drag it to the top.
Systems Preferences > Network > Show > AirPort
AirPort tab
- By default, join: Automatic
TCP/IP tab
- Configure IPv4: Using DHCP
- Configure IPv6: Automatically or Off
Proxies tab
- Configure Proxies: Manually
- Select a proxy server to configure: <All proxies should be unchecked unless you specifically require a proxy for Internet access.>
- Exclude simple hostnames (unchecked)
- Bypass proxy settings for these Hosts & Domains: <leave blank>
- Use Passive FTP Mode (PASV) (checked)

I moved my iTunes Library and now the first track of most CDs is missing. Why? What can I do?

I have moved my iTunes library several times. Sometimes to free up space on the main drive, I have moved the library to an external drive. I have also moved the library when changing drives and changing computers. I find that most of the CDs I have imported into iTunes in the past are now missing the first track. It shows the sign, but I haven't been able to locate them. In many cases, I have given the CDs themselves away and so I have no easy way of re-importing the tracks. Why does iTunes do this? Is there something I can do in the future to prevent this from happening? It gets rather tedious to go through hundreds of CD and locate a single track for each one after upgrading a drive or the computer. HELP?

What process did you use for moving the library?
I have noticed iTunes on rare occasions loses files. Don't know why. Keep back ups. Before updating a backup run a script such as Dougscript List MIAs so you can make sure you aren't deleting your only copy should one get lost from your main drive.
You might want to note that it is a mistake giving away the CDs. When you no longer posess the CD you relinquish the right to keep a copy of the music. Also, as you are finding, you no longer have a backup source for the music.

I moved a html file and now the page doesn't have a background

I was trying to remove the .html tags from my web pages and followed the advice on this past post. I created a new folder in Dreamweaver's File tab, then moved the .html file over and renamed it to index.html. Unfortunatley the swf and background images are broken and can't reference them. I'm wondering what step I missed, or how can I relink them?

You have bad paths to all your external CSS and Scripts. Typically when you move a file into a folder in the Files Panel, DW will ask you if you want to update links. You should have hit YES.
To fix the problem, change all of this in your code:

My airport express is setup, the light is green but I have no Internet connection

i have setup my airport express the light is green but I get no wifi

I have a macbook pro 13'' with MAC OS X. Recently bought and installed airport express when it does not drop the WiFi conncetion it works great. Getting frustrated with the fact that I keep losing my WiFi connection, when this happens I check my iphone and I can access the internet do problem while my Macbook pro cannot? After doing some research on the problem I found out that this is not an uncommon problem specially or those who have upgraded to MAC OS X. From what I understand there is a a bug in the WiFi connection chip! Am going to the Apple store today to see what they have to say. I hope there is a fix for this!

HT4367 just bought an apple tv and updated it and now the light won't stop flashing... even after i tried to restore via itunes and all i got was a unknown error message... hey apple you guys have a fix for this?

I just got an apple tv and it dosen't work at all. I tried to use the home share feature with my iMac and both devices don't see each other, yet they are o the same network. I am not using a apple router. I tried updating the apple tv to see if that would resolve the issue but now the status light just blinks rapidly. I tried using itunes restore it but all i get is an unknown error. So with all of this said what is the fix apple?
