HT4437 My airport express worked over the past year since it was purchased. Recently it keeps dropping off my iPhone 4, my brand new 5s and my iPad. It does NOT drop off my windows based laptop. It does not lose wifi connection. Help?

Can anyone help with this? It is not wifi dropping the airport express. Wifi is connected. Music plays for 5 minutes or so and then goes silent. It is as if the Apple iPhone and iPad is no longer recognizing the airport express. I need to open up the menu and. Lick on the airport express on iPhone and iPad to get it going again. Then it will drop over and over every 5 minutes or so. No problem with Apple TV. Also no problem with my windows laptop as all work s fine with no drops. Crazy.

What does any of this have to do with the Apple TV?

When I switched computers my songs now cut off and don't play out. How can I get my songs back to play fully that I purchased from ITunes over the past years?

Other people have been having similar problems with songs over the last few days, I assume that there has been a problem with Apple's servers.
Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting those tracks from your iTunes library and redownload them via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if they re-download in the same state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find those songs and use the 'Report a Problem' link.

My music files etc were all located on my old laptop which was stolen. I have just plugged my iphone in to my new computer and it has deleted all my files. Has anybody got any ideas on how to retrieve the files?

WINDOWS?
Connect the iPod to your PC. If iTunes starts syncing (ie erasing) your music automatically, hit the X in the upper right hand corner of iTunes display, to the left of the search box, to stop it.
In Control Panel, Portable Media Devices, double-click your iPod.
In the Tools menu -> Options, in the View Tab, check "Show hidden files and folders."
Navigate to the Music folder. On my 'pod, the full path is
Portable Media Devices\NAME of IPOD (F:)\iPod_Control\Music
Select all the music folders, and drag and drop them into a folder on your hard drive, or directly into iTunes.
And you're done! The iPod music folder structure is strange and inexplicable, but once you move your files into iTunes you can set it to automatically organize your folder by artist and album to clean that up. (To do this, in iTunes Edit menu, choose Preferences and in the Advanced tab, check "Keep iTunes Music Folder organized."
might be out of date worth a try

You have a one-year hardware warranty & 90 days of free phone support. Take advantage of it, make an appointment at an Apple store or call AppleCare.

Hi Jo,
Each router is a little different but here are the basics: login to the router using the administrator account, should have that info from the installer, and then you should find something like security settings, or it may be advanced security. There will be a setting to the effect of limiting access, or it may say allow Mac address authentication, or admit the Mac addresses in the table...if that is switched on, you can just switch it off and that will allow any wireless device to attach. If you want to keep it on, then you have to enter the Mac address for the device you want to use for access. In the case of the iPad, go to Settings > General > About > WiFi Address (another way of saying Mac address). Enter that very long sequence in the router's Mac address acceptance table and that should take care of things.
Using the Mac address does not change any of the email settings, just limits attaching to the router in the first place.
If you are already getting email, you must be attaching already so this should not be an issue. If you are having email issues, such as receive but not send, you may not have the outgoing server set correctly: Settings > Mail > Account > Outgoing server name (usually an SMTP server) and you may have to go to the advanced settings to enter the outgoing password (normally the same as the account/incoming password) and then check to see if SSL is ON or OFF...most common email services say to set to OFF.

Why won't my airport express work with the latest iTunes, the airport shows green but there is no icon in iTunes any longer, what has gone wrong, desperate!!

Airport Express used to work with iTunes v11 but now with v12 there is no sign of the little icon that used to appear over the volume button. The Airport is finding the network, nothing has changed bar the version of iTunes, what should I do??

A friend has helped me solve this problem, in my case it was nothing to do with Windows firewalls as some have suggested but it was simply a matter of resetting both the router and the Airport, the Airport is fairly obvious but not the router at least this was the first time I recall HAVING to reset it.

Will the Airport Express work with the iPhone minus a PC/mac? If so how??

I no longer have my mac mini but have a new PC. I also have a 2nd gen iphone with the 3.0 software. I just bought a airport express and thought I could, via bluetooth, use my iphone in leau of a computer to control my itunes thru the living room stereo system. In other words, use my iphone as both the itunes library and the controller for the living room setup. Can this work? Or do I have to still run it thru my PC? Someone with expierence with this please help!! My email address is [email protected] thanks, Bill.

I just bought a airport express and thought I could, via bluetooth, use my iphone in leau of a computer to control my itunes thru the living room stereo system.
No that is not possible. The iPhone connects to the AirPort Express (AX) via 802.11b/g not Bluetooth.
In other words, use my iphone as both the itunes library and the controller for the living room setup. Can this work?
No. There is no way to stream music wirelessly from the iPhone to the AX.
Or do I have to still run it thru my PC?
Yes

I have a VOIP with LINGO (Primus). Will Airport Express work with the VOIP modem??

I have been told how to set up with a regular LINKSYS wireless but can I use my VOIP modem with the AIRPORT EXPRESS?

I have one base station connected to my modem and another base station (AX) downstairs which is used as an extender. can i plug my voip phone into that one
Yes, that sounds plausible. However, with an the extra overhead required to maintain an extended network, you may not have sufficient bandwidth for VoIP and voice quality may become an issue. Although it is worth trying out I would think.

Why won't my airport express work as a network extender since upgrading to iOS 6?

I have the AirPort Extreme as my. Network and the airport express set up as my network extender. However, since I upgrade everything to IOS6 my airport express is no longer acting as the network extender. How can I fix this issue?

I have an iMac, iPad, Apple TV and Panasonic tv on my network. The apple tech when I first bought the extreme 2 months ago had me set up the extreme as the main network and the. Airport express in a different part of my home as the extender to my network so we could use the wifi outside to my entertainment area and now to get wifi outside since upgrading my devices I can only get wifi outside if to stand next to the back door.

I'm using Mac OS 10.6.8 with Firefox 7.0.1. In the past hour or so my fonts on nearly all webpages have turn to a bold san serif font and I can't figure out how to change them back to a thinner font. Can anyone help?

This just happened without reason. Not sure what other information I can provide.

Hi! It sounds like you might have accidentally changed the default font. You should take a look at the Knowledge Base article [[Changing fonts and colors#os=mac&browser=fx7]]. It should give you all the steps you need to change it back. Another possible scenario is that you accidentally increased the font size. This might give the appearance that all the text is in bold. You can find the details in [[How do I use Zoom?]] Since this can be done through a keyboard shortcut, it might be worth a look. I know I've accidentally changed the font size myself a few times.
Hopefully this helps!

Airport express working for macbook pro but not iphone 5s. Airport utility on the phone shows a blinking orange light. AU on the macbook shows green light. The airport express shows green light itself. Anyone know what's going on?

My airport express works on my MBPro 17 w/ 10.5.8 but not my MBAir11". The MBAir says that this version of Airport utility doesn't support this base station. Is ther any chance I can use this with my MBAir?

Is this an older "round" version of the AirPort Extreme? If yes, it is true that AirPort Utility 6.x no longer supports the older AirPort Extreme and AirPort Express models.
A model number......located on the bottom of the Extreme or on the side of the Express would be helpful to confirm what you have.
Apple probably does want you to buy a new AirPort Extreme.
The workaround might be to use a Mac or PC running a 5.x version of AirPort Utility.
A more complicated workaround would be to install AirPort Utility 5.6 on Mountain Lion. This is not supported by Apple......it does work for me.....but may not work for you. See this article for more details:

Does Airport Express work with Airport Base Station (not Airport Extreme)?

I'm needing to extend the range of my Airport base station. I purchased an Airport Extreme to funcion as a repeater, but it's not working. Will Airport Express work with a (white) Airport base station. If not, how can I extend the range besides moving the base station?

Can someone actually tell me how to set-up the Airport Express (with my Airport) so that it will act like a repeater. Once again, this is an Airport and not an Airport Extreme.

HT4437 My airport express worked over the past year since it was purchased. Recently it keeps dropping off my iPhone 4, my brand new 5s and my iPad. It does NOT drop off my windows based laptop. It does not lose wifi connection. Help?
