I am trying to hook up a airport express from a work server that has a assigned ip address. the airport works but no internet

Encryption wouldn't matter except for Wifi.
While 10.2 might help, there's not much you can do on the Internet these days with less than 10.4.11

I am trying to hook my macbook pro to a sony bravia TV via DVI to HDMI cable and the TV will not recognize the signal. The same set up has worked with three other, though different televisions. Any thoughts?

I am trying to hook my MacBook Pro to a Sony Bravia TV via DVI to HDMI cable and the TV will not recognize the signal. I have used the same setup with three other TV's, each a different brand with no problem. Any ideas?

Is the TV set to take input from the HDMI connection?
On your computer, if you open the Displays preferences and do not see an Arrangement tab (or there is an Arrangement tab that shows only a single monitor) then there is something physically wrong with your connection. Try clicking Detect Displays just to see if the computer can now sense the presence of the connection. Check your connections.
If you do have an Arrangement tab, and it shows two screens, then click Gather Windows to bring the TV's Displays preferences on to your main screen if the TV is not yet showing an image. Set the proper resolution (probably 720p, 1080i, or 1080p). Set the refresh rate (probably 60Hz) if that preference is shown. You should see a picture at this point. I recommend turning off mirrored displays if it is enabled.

I just bought an airport express. i set it up and was able to be detected by my macbook, but i still cant connect wirelessly. the same goes when i tried my iphone. please help!

Bonjour won't print to my Airport Express from my Win XP pc

I loaded Bonjour onto my Windows XP pc. The load went fine -- no error messages. I ran the 'add printer' routine, it found my HP 1210xi (which is connected to my Airport Express by USB) and showed a driver in the selection list to add. I added the printer. The setup looks fine. When I try to print a test page nothing happens, it finally errors out in Windows saying there was a problem printint the document. It also creates a mess that requires stopping/restarting Windows spooler to clean out the old print job.
I had previously loaded Bonjour onto this PC and printed just fine.
I am running XP SP2 with Windows Firewall. I tried with the firewall turned off and get the same problem. I can ping the Airport Express from the PC.
I have other Mac & Windows PCs running on this network and this is the only PC with this problem, but I do remember having the problem with a Dell about a year ago.
Sorry to be so long-winded, but I wanted to put as much data in this post as possible.

Try plugging your computer directly to the HP printer via USB and installing printer. Then disconnect and try Bobjour again. It worked for me. Although you may need to reinstall Bonjour again.

Murder on the Airport Express (AE 1st Gen cannot find Wireless while plugged in in the same room as the modem, router and Time Capsule

First, the reason for my compounded frustration:
I wrote a lengthy, comprehensive post on this late last night. I submitted it and received a notice at this URL:
https://discussions.apple.com/___sbsstatic___/maintenance.html?start=0&tstart=0
It gave a message: "A yellow sticky bearaing the words, "We'll be back soon." and a typed message reading, "We are busy updating Apple Support Communities for you and will be back shortly." Needless to say, it never came back. This morning as I began trying to reconstruct the very detailed post I wrote last night, the Communities system offered me an opportunity to restore the post from last night. Sadly, it contained only a portion of the first line.
I'm going to try it again. The problem inherent in putting it all in words last night, is that I no longer remember the exact wording of the error messages.
I've never gotten this Airport Express (1st gen, purchased mid 2010) to work. I thought it was working, but working poorly. A green light on the device is, apparently, NOT an indication of connection to the wireless. It wasn't workingl.
Description of devices which use the network:
I have a Broadband network with a modem.
It is connecteed to my 2T Timecapsule (purchased mid 2010).
Connected to that is a 24 port Cisco Router.
Not connecting to that, though showing a solid green light, is my Airport Express (1st Generation, purchased mid 2010)
Connected to the router are many ethernet cables giving hard-wired access to:
Printers (HP 8600 Pro purchased 2012))
MacBook Pro (purchased mid 2010) and
IMAC (purchased mid 2010).
3 Apple TV devices (1st generation purchased early 2011)
1 Apple TV device (2nd generataion purchased August 2012)
Connecting to the Wireless Network are IOS devices (current IOS versions on all)
iPad 2nd generation (purchased the day it was available)
iPad 3rd generation (purchased the day it was available)
iPod (mid 2010)
iPhones (4S)
Description of Layout of Network/House
My home is approximately 70 feet by 25 feet.
All Networking hardware is at one end of the house, the south side.
Airport Express (1st Gen, 2010) has been placed in the middle of the house to boost the wireless access at the north end of the house.
Ethernet cables are installed under flooring with cable ends extending up through flooring, and are availble to all devices with Ethernet ports..
Description of Problem
Investigation of the wireless access dysfunction with the iPad (2nd generation, mid 2010) revealed no connection to the Wireless Network, in spite of glowing green light on Airport Express and Airport Utility screen.
Description of actions taken to correct the problem
Loaded Airport Utility on MacBook Pro.
Airport Express shows green light on screen.
Double clicked on Airport Express Icon
Message that Airport Express was unable to extend the network
Message changes suddenly to something about not finding the Airport Express
Airport Utility searches Airport Express, attempting to read its settings
Message appears: Device not found. Airiport Express was previously part of the network, and offers to let me "forget" the base station.
I exit the error message.
A yellow triangle bearing an exclamation point sits to the left of the Airport Express' Description
Airport Express shows green light (as always)
Clicking the link, "Other AirPort Base Stations" indicates no base stations can be found.
Moved Airport Express to the room at the south end of the house containing all network devices
Plugged it in with clear, completely unobstructed view of Time Capsule.
Light on Airport Express flashes yellow and then turns solid green (like always)
Bring Mac into the room at the south end of the house containing all network devices and the Airport Express with the green light
Close Airport Utility on Mac
Reboot Mac
Open Airport Utility on Mac
Airport Express still shows as it did in 1.1.7. above.
Attempts to check Airport Express' access to Wireless network:
Unplugged Airport Express HEY! THE GREEN LIGHT WENT OUT!!! ;0)
Disconnected all Ethernet cables.
Tested ALL devices for Wireless access.
All devices access the Wireless network extremely well (dot and three curved bars) EXCEPT
IOS Devices tested at the north end of the house. These devices show a blank where the wireless bars should be, and intermittently show a dot.
Followed instructions contained in a similar discussion about Airport Express not functioning:
Unplugged all Networking Hardware
Powered off all Equipment which access the Internet in any possible way.
Powered up all Networking Hardware, one at a time, in the order described in that discussion.
Powered up all Equipment which access the internet, one at a time.
Tested ethernet cablingAll equipment functioning.
Tested Wireless access:
Removed all ethernet cabling
All devices, including IOS devices, access the Wireless Network perfectly EXCEPT any placed in the north end of the house. Those perform exactly as they did in step 3.3.2.
Connected all ethernet cabling.
Plugged Airport Express into socket in the Network Hardware room at the south end of the house. I get exactlyt the same results as before. The lovely green light glows on the Airport Express. Airport Utility reports Airport Express cannot find the Wireless network and also says there are no base stations connected to the internet.
Still in Network Hardware room, I attempt to find other base stations by cabling the Airport Express to the MacBook Pro
Airport Utility shows Airport Express with a green light
I double click the Airport Express Icon
Box says connection is average and status is (green light) Extended Network.
I click Edit
I go through each tab. I note that in the Wireless tab, the Network Mode is as I had set it, "Extend a wireless network".
Under the Network tab I note that "Enable Access Control" is as it should be, NOT selected.
Under the AirPlay tab, I note that "Enable airPlay" is selected.
I click cancel and leave the Edit screens.
Curious to know if Airport Express can find the Wireless network now that the device claims to be functioning as an extended wireless network, I disconnect the ethernet cable from the Airport Express.
I watch the Airport Utility screen closely. Nothing is happening.
With bated breath, I double click on the Airport Express icon.
The popup box shows "extended wireless network"
I click on edit and we start the whole mess over again. (See 1.1-9. above)
Curious to know if cabling the Airport Express to the iMac (almost to middle of house) will offer hope and prosperity to IOS devices at north end, I unplug the Airport Express and carry its now-exhausted little body to the iMac, ethernet cable in hand.
As I unplug the iMac from its ethernet access, I'm informed by Cranky Boy that no way is he going to accept that as a reasonable solution to his problem. He will not live wireless while even one ethernet cable is poking up through a floorboard.
Cranky Boy is reassured when informed that, though the Airport Utility shows the Airport Express connected, merely double clicking on the icon produces the same result as laboriously described in 1.1-9. above.
After quieting Cranky Boy by reconnecting the iMac to the Ethernet, I return the Airport Express to the Network Hardware room.
Again, curious to know ... I reconnect the Airport Express to the MacBook Pro. I want to know if it will exrtend the Wireless network from its position one foot from the Wireless Network.
I close and reopen Airport Utility (as I always do, but forgot to write)
I click on the Airport Express icon (which bears a little green light like the other big boys).
BUT THIS TIME, when I click on the Airport Express icon, the pop-up box says my connection is Excellent, the green light status shows, "Extended Network" and clicking on "Extended Network" produces the same old `Airport Express was unable to extend the Wireless Connection.
I click on the Edit option.
I buzz through all the tabs. I cancel instead of update, leaving everything as it was (as I did the first time)
I decide to go back into edit and select "Internet Options" under the "Internet" tab.
Since I have no idea whatsoever as to what IPV6 is and what it governs, I decide to configure IPV6 to Automatically Connect and then, with a whole new set of opportunities, I leave IPV6 Mode set to "Tunnel" and then I learn that I will get to see what happens when "Enable IPV6 Connection Sharing" is enabled.
I check the other tabs to see if anything has changed in their menus
Jesus Saves and so did I.
Apple updates and so did I.
I am warned that my device and its network services will be temporarily unavailable if I continue.
It seems unaware that I am laughing uncontrollably at the suggestion that my device and its services will be TEMPORARILY AVAILABLE. What? An improvement in performance is warned?
Life continues and so do I.
I breathe deeply to decrease my adrenaline.
Airport Utility flashes a red warning next to the Airport Express Icon and then quickly rethinks the matter and decides to show it as connected.
I click on the Airport Express Icon. This time my connection is only "good".
I click on Extended Network. With a new-found consistency it informs me that my device is unable to extend the Wireless network and it chats with me about using the same Wireless password for my device that is used for the Wireless network access. I did. It is.
I change my settings back to the way they once were, I save like Jesus and Update like Apple
I decide to go back into Edit and modify the settings under the Wireless tab, changing from "Extend Wireless Network" to "Join Wireless Network".
I save.
I click on the Airport Express Icon. My connection has degraded further to "Average"
I click on edit just to see what will happen, but no further information is forthcoming. Settings are as I left them.
I wonder if the Airport Express would extend itself now that it has joined the Wireless Network.
I click the Airport Express Icon.
I click Edit
I change the Network Mode from "Join a Wireless Network" to Extend a Wireless Network. Unfortunately, there was no option for "don't forget where the Wireless Network is!"
I am still "unable to extend the Wireless network"
I disconnect the Airport Express from my MacBook Pro.
After closing and opening Airport Utility, I sit and stare at the Airport Express Icon.
It has no light or error messages
It has a yellow triangle with exclamation point
It has no light or error message
It has a yellow triangle with exclamation point
I finally decide to see what THIS error messages says. It says Device Not Found. Patti Harada's AirPort Express was previously part of your network. Check that it is still in range of your network and is plugged into a power outlet. Click Forget to remove this base station from this network."
I click "Forget". Airport Utility has forgotten the Airport Express ever existed. It has also forgotten how to find it again.
I, however, am unable to forget how much I shelled out for this POS and fear I will never recover from working this intensely and tediously on documenting something so hideously inconsistent in its test results.
I wonder if I should recable the Airport Express to my MacBook Pro
I decide I've had about enough.
I document this ad nauseum in the hopes that someone can read it THOROUGHLY and offer me a solution to my problem. What is my problem? I am so busy fighting off Alligators that I forgot I only came in to drain the swamp! Ah, but I remember now: Cranky Boy can't watch Netflix on his iPad (2nd generation) in the north end of the house.
Any solution that works will do. I'll buy another piece of whatever kind of equipment you think best.

Well, aren't you all that and a bag of chips!!!!
Oh what a relief! What a RELIEF!
That just cleaned up my life. And Cranky Boy is actually smiling!!!
Houston, we've got dots AND BARS!!!
P.S. All my firware and software are always current. If I spent as much time looking for a reset button as I spend checking for software updates, I mighta not needed to work at this!!!!
P.P.S. Airport Utility shows Cranky Boy's iPad as the Airport Express' Wireless Client!!! Who knew?
Thank you so much, m'Lord. I am in your debt. What would you have me do?

Self Assigned IP Address with Airport Extreme

I just changed my router from an Asus to AIrport Extreme.   The Airport Extreme is connected to an ATT DSL modem. I know the modem works because I can connect to the internet when I connect it directly to my IMac. However, when I try to access the internet through the airport extreme it connects temporarily and then loses the connection. It tells me that I have a self assigned IP address and cannot connect to the network. This is the case through both Ethernet and WiFi. It is also the case when I try it with other devices (e.g. IPad, MacBook).
I know there are lots and lots of threads in this forum (and others) on this topic. I have been pouring over them for days and trying everything I could find including but not limited to--
Rebooting/power cycling
Keychain clearing and repairing
Renewing DHCP lease
Turning off firewall and virus barrier
deleting and recreating network
The modem is set up based on the ATT instructions for when it is to be connected to a non ATT router, thus it is in Bridge mode and the Airport Express is set to use PPPoE.   OS and all firmware is up to date.
There is another issue which may or may not be related. It is also an issue for which there are many existing threads (but apparently no definitive solution). My Imac keeps giving me a message that the name of my computer is already in use and has been changed to.....
http://https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4207056?start=0&tstart=0
I have tried several suggested solutions (e.g. energy savings pref, using only wifi or only ethernet to connect). So far no luck.
Both of these issues seem to have started when I switched routers.
Anyone know if the two issues are related? And whether there is a solution? Seems like both issues have been around a long time.......

Was using the wrong password option in UIXperts driver. Kept thinking it was a different protection mechanism than it was. Once the password was set, all was well. Referred back to the IOXperts installation guide (RTFM) for a clue.

Manage Airport Express from Windows computer

Is it possible to manage the Airport Express from a Windows computer?
Most of the posts here deal with connection problems from windows to the device - my problem is that I no longer have a macintosh and so I no longer have access to the airport admin utilty.
Does Apple provide a set of admin tools that run on Windows?

It does not work for the airport express. At least I have been unable to get it to work. "An error occurred while trying to access the base station" Is the error I get. iTunes has no problem playing it.
I used to be able to access my Airport Expresses with the software that came with it. But unfortunately I lost my disk and can 't find the right software to download anywhere. It's all for the airport and not the airport express.
Very disappointed with Apple's support for such an expensive device.

Itunes will not stream to airport express from iMac. It will work from and HP laptop any reason why?

Problem with Itunes on the iMac. I bought airport express to setream music to my stereo. When I set it up on the iMac (using an ethernet connection) it dropped my internet connection on the router. When I use the Wifi it just times out. I tried using the airport express from my laptop, it worked just fine. I called apple for support and they have not beeen able to help, and I am now 79 dollars in the hole because they suggested I call cisco. I have also spent 6 hours on the phone. any Help would be appreciated.

I got it to work. Turns out there are a few steps that should be taken during the install of ariport express. We have 4 users on our iMac, one being the Administrator, one a guest, and 2 users. After I closed all the applications for each users and logged them off, I was able to connect sucessfully to Airport Express and stream music to my Stereo. Seams simple, but someting we did not look at in my 6 hour marathon yesterday trying to find the reason it did not work.

How do I remove an unwanted Airport Express from my network?

I have been using a Time Capsule for several years. I am having trouble backing up to my Time Capsule. I have discovered an unknown Airport Express in my network. I've changed networks, added passwords to the network, etc. How do I remove this unwanted Airport Express from my network? I think he is wreaking havoc with my system!! Help...

Maybe this is an issue I should consult my ISP about??
No question about that. If you can "see" Travis's device, then he can likely "see" your Time Capsule.
I'm just concerned that whomever the APExpress belongs to could be changing settings on my computer or Time Capsule that would cause the issues with me not being able to backup.
Make sure that you have a Time Capsule base station password. Unless a user has that password, they might be able to "see" your Time Capsule, but they cannot access any of the data on the Time Capsule or change the settings.
Open AirPort Utility, click on the Time Capsule and click Manual Setup
Then, click the Time Capsule tab below the icons to see the device name and password for your device. Make sure that you have entered the password and confirmed. Click Update if you have made any changes.
The message I get is "The backup was not performed because an error occurred while copying files to the backup disk. The problem may be temporary. Try again later to back up. If the problem persists, use Disk Utility to repair your backup disk."
I am not sure what this error means, because I cannot duplicate it here to test.
If it were me, I would try this "fix".

I have a pioneer vsx-910-k and airport express.I have a wireless network at home. What's the best arquiecture/config to do with this hardware?

I would suggest that you connect the Pioneer to the AirPort Express Base Station using an optical digital audio cable that has a TOSlink connector on one end and a 3.5 mm optical connector (Mini Plug) on the other. You can then connect the Mini Plug end into the AirPort's audio port and the TOSlink end into one of the Pioneer's optical digital audio ports.

I have a airport time capsule, an older airport extreme, and an airport express. I want to hard wire my Mac Mini to the network. What is the best arrangement of the devices? which ones should be hard wired to optimize extending the network?

I am using TM Unifi with an ASUS RT-N18U Wi-Fi router. I would like to know could I use Apple AirPort Time Capsule to extend (repeater, booster) my Wi-Fi to a part of the house where the Wi-Fi signal is poor
Yes,, if you plan to connect the AirPort Time Capsule to the ASUS router using an Ethernet cable connection that will remain fixed and permanently installed at all times.
No, if you were planning to have the AirPort Time Capsule connect wirelessly and extend the Asus WiFi signal, since it would not be compatible with another manufacturer's router for that purpose.
Another way of saying the same thing here would be that if you want to extend the network wirelessly, it will take two Apple routers to do so

You don't need to have Lightroom 3 and 4 installed on your computer to install Lightroom 5. Just install Lightroom 5 and input your serial number for 3 in the previous version box and your serial number for 5 in the upgrade box.

I am trying to hook up a airport express from a work server that has a assigned ip address. the airport works but no internet
