HT4587 My airport express and wireless airplay speaker are connected to wife, but airplay and homesharing are not working...what to do?

My airport express and wireless airplay speaker are connected to WIFI, but airplay and homesharing are not working...what to do? Everything was working fine until about two weeks ago, all of the sudden airplay has disappeared from the iphone, itunes on the laptop, and the apple remote for iphone. I have restarted the router many times, re-setup the airplay speaker and the airport express and booth are showing as being properly connected to the router when I log into the router IP address. I was on the phone with Apple support for 30 minutes they blames verizon, got on the phone with verizon and they stated the settings were all correct and compatible with apple, got back on the phone with apple and they again are blaming verizon and trying to get me to get an airport extreme because that would fix the problem...any suggestions, please!

There are three Airport resets, soft, hard and factory default. It would probably be beneficial if you tried each one in sequence. Actually, you could jump to the factory default reset if you don't mind reconfiguring from scratch.

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

Airport Express seems to prevent iPads from connected to AppleTV via AirPlay

I posted this in the AppleTV forum before narrowing the problem down to my Airport Expresses. (iPad won't connect to AppleTV)
Here are highlights:
Airport Extreme extended by two Airport Expresses both connected via Ethernet
Two ATV3, one wireless, the other Ethernet. AirServer running on 2008 Mac Pro
iPhone 6 and iPhone 5S can easily stream video via Airplay to any ATV
iPad Air and iPad Mini Retina don't see ATVs in AirPlay menu but do see AXP.
If AXPs are unplugged from power, AXP still shows up in AirPlay menu until iPad is either restarted or the wi-fi turned off then on.
Once the AXP "disconnects" from AirPlay menu (when AXP is powered down) all ATVs in the house show up in AirPlay menu.
Any ideas?
Took the iPad to Genius bar and it worked fine. When at office, I see all ATVs. At home, no ATVs when AXP are live. Been dealing with this for two months!
Thanks.

... It is very possible that you may have some form of Wi-Fi interference that has been introduced recently in the immediate area that is preventing your AX from getting a good clean signal from the AEBS.
I suggest you perform a simple site survey, using utilities like MacStumbler, iStumbler, or AirRadar to determine potential areas of interference, and then, try to either eliminate or significantly reduce them where possible.

Got an airport express....all is well with wifi now..and

not to mention that now I can blast my iPhone music through my stereo....think about it.....I can lay on the couch with iphone and as I select a song it plays through my big dog speakers......wow

Airport Express model A1084 won't stay connected to wifi network more that 2 - 5 minutes

I have an old Airport Express (lets call it AE1), probably one of the originals, model no. A1084 that I have networked to an AT&T wifi network. I am running Airport Utility 5.6 for Lion to configure it to my 27" iMac running Lion. I reset the device and configured it and it connected to the network fine. It showed up with a green dot in the AU5.6 utility software, it even shows up on the new Airport Utility software on Lion, but for some reason the device will not continue to show up on the device list on the AU5.6 software. If I unplug the device and plug it back in, it shows up in the software for about 2 -5 minutes then disappears again. The light remains green on the device the whole time. AE1 is configured to "join the existing network" and to be used for a USB printer or for playing music. It is not configured to "extend the network" or to "create a new network". I have a second Airport Express (AE2) on the same network (configured the same way as AE1) that I use for attaching my Soundsticks to, to play music and that Airport Express works fine. Is there a problem with having two Airport Express units connected to the same network? The base station wireless modem from AT&T is in the same room as AE2, and AE1 is in a room two floors above. I have also tried to connect AE1 to a room below the AT&T modem and had the same problem in that location. I have run Software Update to see if AE1 needs to be updated but there is no indication from software update that one is required. I have reset and reconfigured AE1 many times and it doesn't help. Unplugging AE2 from the network and running AE1 by itself in the network does not solve the problem. Is there something wrong with AE1?

Have you tried temporarily replacing the audio cable with a pair of stereo headphones? If so, do you still get the audio drop-outs? How about with an optical digital connection?

I have a 2nd generation iPod touch and it shows to be connected to WiFi but will not access the internet, please tell me what i can do, because i use this device for work and it make things difficult that it will not work now. Please help, thank you!

I really need help, my ipod shows to connect to the WiFi but then it will not let me use the interent it says no connection but according to my screen i have WiFi connection, i am very confused an i would really appriciate it if someone could help me sort out this problem so i can start using my iPod for work again.

Even though the iPod shows as been connected, it might not have actually received a valid IP address via DHCP from your Wi-Fi access point or router. Head to Settings -> Wi-Fi and tap the > next to the network you are connected. If 169.xxx.xxx.xxx is listed for an IP Address, then your iPod did not receive a valid IP address. To correct this you can reboot your router by unplugging it from power for about 30 seconds.
It wouldn't hurt to also reset your iPod. To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

Ipad is showing connected to wifi but it is saying its not connected to internet. I have reset all settings, tried to change IP address and subnet mask and nothing is working.

My ipad mini 3 is not showing that it is connected to the wifi, but it is saying it is not connected to the internet. I have reset network settings and then reset all settings and it has not worked. I have tried to change it to static and change the IP address and the subnet mask and that is not working either. I have also tried to use the wifi in different places and that doesn't work either. Please help!!!! iPad is useless without the internet.

1. Set router back to Auto DHCP.
2. Turn off router for 30 seconds and on again.
3. Re-boot iPad.

HT3500 my laptop, iPad and iPhone suddenly do not connect to my printer. All of these Apple product and my HP printer are connected to wifi, but now I cannot get anything to print from computer, iPad or phone. suggestions?

All of my Apple product have suddenly been unable to find my HP printer. All are working/connected to wifi and were printing just fine yesterday. Suggestions?

Hello Faith25
Check out the articles below to get your notebook and iOS devices to print again. Check to see if there is anything that could be preventing it from being print to like a jam in the printer or a print queue that may be stuck. Another think to check, if you can get it to show up on your notebook. is to see if the printer has the latest firmware.

The VI of I2C driver for reading and writing registers was functional in 6.1 but that same VI is not working for 7.0 & 7.1 version. WinIO is also used in generating the dll as OS is Windows2000. What could be the problem?

THIS IS THE CPP FOR READ. sIMILAR vi WAS MADE FOR WRITE

HI,
I'm not familiary wiht the WinIO functio that you are using here but there are a couple of thisngs to watch out for when doing low-level access.
The most common problem with low level IO functions is that if they were created for Win9x, they will not work under Win NT/2000/XP. NT based OSes require you to have kernel access to do any low level communication. Make sure that the WinIO library that you are using is aupported under Win2K.
Since you have the code for the dll available, you could attach LabVIEW as an external process in your C compiler and debug the dll; this can helps you track down the exact function that is failing.
Just my 2 cents.

I have a Mac notebook and it says it's connected to wifi, but when I try to connect to any search engine it does not. What is causing it to not actually connect. My pc connects no problem.

It seems that all apple products used in my house at times will not connect to our wifi. It's hit and miss. It says I am connected, but when you try to connect to any search engine it does not. I have disconnected and reconnected the power to the dsl provider and to our wifi units. I have rebooted the computers. I have reentered the password. Still no connection. We do not have connectivity issues with our PC products. Anyone have any answers for me?

Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Airport Express - need to run multiple internet connections from it.

My systems:
iMac
Airport Extreme
Airport Express
Currently, I use my airport express to wirelessly "feed" an internet connection to my Vudu box (movie download box). Right next to that box I would like to connect my Wii and DirecTV boxes to the internet using the airport express. The problem is that the airport Express has only one LAN line.
How can I share this one port with all three devices? I don't want to keep adding Airport Express boxes nor do I want to add an Airport Extreme at that location as I use airtunes on my stereo and Airport Extreme doesn't offer that. As you can tell I am not very computer literate so go gentle on me
any help is much appreciated.

Ok I need everyone's help. I just bought the AirPort Express I am running Windows XP Service pack 3 I have the ethernet connected to the airport express from our wireless router at the same time my computer is connected to the internet the same way. My computer has Internet just fine. After installing AirPort utility it is saying it is unable to find any Apple wirelss device. I am wanting to use my AirPort express with my IPhone when I travel Internationally. I know it works because fellow employess have done this. I have tried unplugging my Airport Expess and the light keeps blinking amber. How do I get to to flash green and how do I get the Utility to detect the Express so I can set everything up?

Airport express joins wireless (green flash on) but airplay doesn't work? Why oh Why?

Airport express joins wireless (green flash on) but airplay doesn't work? I have turn off the firewall on the router, but still I cannot connct wireless to the airport express.

Please check out the following Apple Support article to see what the minimum requirements are for AirPlay to work.
Also the following Apple Support article talks about the specifics on how to use an AirPort Express Base Station for AirPlay.

Can't find Airport Express via wireless or wired connection.

I've run across this topic in this forum and a lot of others and nothing I've found has helped resolve the issue. It seems like the one definitive answer I found was to return it to the store, but I'm hoping to avoid that so I figured I'd try once more.
Running Windows XP and using a linksys Wireless-G network card. When I first got the Airport Express I was able to connect to it but then I had some issues with my cable network connection and had to reset everything. Since then I haven't been able to connect to it, and currently I can't find it using the Base Station. Tried resetting it to factory defaults about 10x and I'm still stuck on blinking yellow. I tried connecting it directly with a network cable and even then my computer can't seem to find it.
I tried turning off my firewall, reinstalling the Airport Utility, connecting to the IP address 10.0.1.1 using the "Configure Other..." box and no luck.
Any suggestions?
Thanks much.

The issue is within the network configuration of the Airport Express. As you mentioned, all hardwired devices can use AirPlay but all wireless devices can't.
Normally, the Airport Express will wirelessly join your existing network, and Airplay will work with all devices. Any reason why you have your Airport Express connected to your router via ethernet?
