I can't configure my Airport Express after updating to iOS7

Since updating to iOS7 and after changing the name and password on my Airport Extreme I can't configure my Airport Express via my iPad (neither in the Airport App, nor under Wi-Fi in the control panel App). Please advise!

Try the "protected setup" method of configuring that adapter. According to the electronic book "Take Control of Your 802.11n AirPort Network", that involves selecting the AirPort Utility menu option Base Station > Add Wireless Clients. TiVo may have more information on how to do that.

Unable to open configuration for Airport Express after update 5.3.1

I can still reconfigure my Airport Express unit using the old version of the Airport Admin Utility.app version 4.2 under OS 10.4.11 that remained after the update. But the new AirPort Base Station 2008-001 update version 5.3.1 for Tiger will not allow me to access the configuration. It comes back with an error even though the Airport Express unit is recognized by the new software. The message reads: "An error occurred while reading the configuration".
Why won't the new version work? I tried rebooting the Airport Express unit and even unplugged it for 60 seconds. This did not help.
About 6 months ago, I had to revert to an older version of the firmware to stabilize the system to version 6.1.1.
Airport has really been touchy. And each update of the OS does not seem to help.

Hi,
My old Saucer Expresses work with Firmware 5.6, though it wants to update them to 5.7.
Does it ask for the Password/Keychain usage? If not, might trash that Keychain... or Factory reset it too.
Might just try the latest...

Can't connect to Airport Express after updating software

I ran Software Update today on my Intel Mini which updated iTunes to 7.3 and apparently included a security patch that I did not take note of. Since then I cannot connect to my Airport Express which is hooked up to my stereo system. The AE works fine when I connect to it from a PC in my home. Any ideas? Thanks!

Thank you for the suggestion Juan. I did a hard reset and reconfigured the AX. I was able to stream music to it from iTunes, but a few minutes later I noticed that my internet connection was stalled, as was my connection to email. So I rebooted the Mini and the internet and email are now working, but once again it won't connect to the Airport Express through iTunes...? It is almost as if it can no longer connect to the internet and stream music simultaneously. I don't know if it matters, but after the hard reset I set up the AX to "join my existing network", which is a Netgear wireless router. I assumed that the Mini's internet connection is thru the Netgear device, and by setting up the AX the way I did it would only be used for the stereo system. Should I have done something different?

I can not configure my airport express

Hi everyone, I'm currently in China and I bought and Airport express just to have a bit more signal in my dorm, however it's been 2 days and I can not configure my airport express everything seems find until the point that I choose join to an existing network and then choose my college and it get stuck for almost 20 min and after it says something about an error, then I switch off and it no longer recognized the airport it keeps looking for and airport base. Please what should I do?

The AirPort Express cannot wirelessly "extend" or "repeat" the wireless signal from another router.....unless that other router is an Apple product.
It is highly unliklely...but possible.....that the dorm would be using another Apple router to provide the wireless service.
The Express is really designed to connect to an Ethernet wall port using a short Ethernet cable connection. When you do it this way, the Express can be set up to provide your own private wireless network in the room.

Can't configure old Airport express

Hi There,
I can't configure an Airport Express because Airport Utility was upgraded. I've found several posts on how to get around this but in each case, the software or automator script download links are either broken or the software/script no longer works.
I already own 4x Apple Wireless devices and am not interested in owning another one!
Is there a way to configure this device on a newer mac (10.7.5)?
Cheers
Ben

You must install the older utility.
Try this one and tell us which thing doesn't work.. later versions of lion use the same method as Mountain Lion.. Apple actually blocked it from working.. amazing people!!
How to load 5.6 into ML.
1. Download 5.6 for Lion.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
Click to open the dmg but do not attempt to install the pkg.. it won't work anyway.
Leave the package open on the desktop so you can see the file. AirportUtility56.pkg
2. Download and install unpkg.
http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
Run unpkg on the desktop.. If your Mac refuses to run the software, because it wasn’t downloaded from the Apple store, go to security in preferences and allow other software to work.. this is limitation of trade methinks. You can set back later if you like.
Now drag the AirPortUtility56.pkg file over to unpkg.. and it will create a new directory of the same name on the desktop.. in finder, open the new directory, drill down.. applications, utilities .. there lo and behold is Airport utility 5.6 .. drag it to your main utilities directory or just run it from current location.
You cannot uninstall version 6 (now 6.3 if you updated) so don't try.. and you cannot or should not run them both at the same time.. although I have had no problems when doing so.

HT5022 How can I configure an AirPort Express 802.11g on Mac OSX 10.8.5?

I can't configure an Airport Express 802.11g using a MacBook Air with MacOS X 10.8.5 installed.
AirPort Utility 5.6.1 cannot be installed on a computer running OS 10.8.5...
Help!

As you know you cannot administer the older 802.11g AirPorts from Macs running the latest OS X versions or from an iOS device.
You still have a few options to do so:
Use a Mac running OS X Lion 10.7.2 or lower.
Use a Windows PC running Windows 7 or lower.

How can I configure an airport express to connect extra speakers to those on my Apple TV?

Hi,
I'm using a net gear router to play music on speakers connected to my tv via Apple TV. I want to set up another set of speakers upstairs mot play the same music throat the house. Can I connect another set of speakers to the airport express and have all speakers running in harmony? any advice gratefully received!
Cheers, Dean

You can connect (up to five practically) AirPlay Speakers and stream to them simultaneously from a single iTunes host. Your Apple TV would be one of those AirPlay Speakers.
Each additional AirPlay Speaker would be configured to join the existing wireless network. For additional details on configuring an AirPort Express for AirPlay, please see the following Apple Support article.

Can't Configure/Find Airport Express

On Wednesday night, my Airport Express was working just fine as a client on my Airport Snow network. I just use it for Airtunes. My network is closed. Last night, iTunes announced it couldn't find my Express. Attempting just to do a soft reboot of it, I apparently did a hard one, because it suddenly showed up as Apple Network 6bd5d3. So, I went to the Airport Setup Assistant and started trying to configure it. First did 'Set up a new'. It finds the Apple Network, I say continue, and it connects to Apple Network, then after a few moments says it can't find my base station. When I try 'Set up an existing' it doesn't show the Apple Network at all. Nor does Airport Admin Utility. At this point, I'm baffled. Thinking it might work like my base stations, I tried connecting it directly to the computer with an ethernet cable, but that seemed to work even worse. I just don't understand why it would show up as a network under my Airport menu, and allow me to connect to it (although of course since it's not connected to the internet, I can't be online connected to it), and then have it not show up for Airport Admin Utility. Any help appreciated. Thanks!

Hello jvreagan. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
To set up the AirPort Express Base Station (AX), temporarily connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then, using the AirPort Admin Utility (located in the \Applications\Utilities folder), to change settings.

Amber Light keeps flashing - can't configure my AirPort Express

Here is my setup: Dell XPS M1530 running Windows Vista. I have my cable modem directly plugged into my AirPort Express. I have no other wireless network or router.
I'm able to connect to the AirPort Express through my wireless card and establish a connection and surf the net but the Airport Utility Software won't let me configure the device and the light keeps flashing amber. It never turns to green. I've tried every combination of resetting my AirPort Express, cable modem and computer.
I can see the AirPort Express Base Station icon on the left hand side of the AirPort utility software , when I click "manual setup" or "continue" it try to detect a wireless device but it always comes back with a the message: "An error occurred while trying to access the Apple wireless device. Make sure your network connection is valid and try again. error -4"
Am I missing something?

Temporarily, disconnect the ethernet cable from the Express that is coming from the modem.
Connect an ethernet cable from your computer to the AirPort Express, turn off wireless on the computer, and see if AirPort Utility can access the settings that way. If so, go ahead and set it up.
If you are able to configure the device, then you will get an error message that you do not have an internet connection...because the Express is not connected to the modem.
When you re-connect the ethernet cable from the modem to the Express and restart both the modem and Express, you should get the green light.
Depending on the type of modem you have, some additional configuration may be needed. The important thing at this point is to get AirPort Utility to access the settings on the Express so that you can configure it.
You may need to do the factory reset again on the Express. If AirPort Utility still cannot access the settings on the Express after this, try another computer, Mac if possible, to see if that might be the issue.
Sometimes, an internal component fails within the Express. When this occurs, AirPort Utility cannot access the device no matter what, and there are really no other options except to replace the device.
Please post back on your progress.

Printer configuration in airport express after reset

Hi, I've recently resetted my airport express base (because it didn't work anymore), then I've reshape the settings on my mac and on another pc that is linked to the network... The internet connection started to work immediately, but I can't use my printer (that is linked to the airport base) with my mac, while I can use it with the pc . I saw in airport utility that to use the printer with bonjour, first I've to give a global host name to the airport base: what's that? Moreover, the first time I installed the network when I bought airport express I didn't have to do all this things... someone can help me?

Thanks to everyone for the help...

Airport Express After update won't work

After updating my desktop Mac to Leopard and updating my AirPort Express to firmware to v6.3, the Express refused to restart. I've tried resetting it and have left it unplugged for a few days. The latest Airport utility can't find it, and it just flashes yellow. I've been using this hub for the last two years without a problem. Fortunately it does not supply my wireless network with the Internet. I am using this hub for AirTunes. What can I do?

just do a hard reset (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=108044 ) of the airport express and the airport administration utility will recognize it again. However, you will lose the configuration of the airport express. I hope that helps.

After updating to IOS7.0.3 I can't send or receive iMessages, After updating to IOS7.0.3 I can't send or receive iMessages

I updated my phone yesterday to IOS7.0.3 and now I cannot send or receive iMessages. My phone is also now very slow at responding. It's annoying because I red that they created this update to solve the same problem that people had when they updated the last time. But my phone was fine before yesterday,extremely frustrating.

Update to the current version of iOS.
Ensure that your iMessage is set to receive messages at your phone number or whatever address it was previously set to.
Also, ensure your iMessage is actually activated. My partner had a similar issue earlier this week where iMessage unexplainably disabled itself and then when re-activating it did not actually reactivate. Once the device was switched to a working data connection (other Internet connectivity issues were occurring at the time) iMessage activated fine.

I have bought an airport express after being assured that I will be able to print from my IPad. I have installed airport utility on my Hp laptop and it is configured correctly but the printer I have is showing neither on laptop nor on IPad. Can u tell how

I bought an airport express after being assured that I will be able to AirPrint from my IPad. I have set up airport utility on my Hp laptop and configured it properly with the express. But still I'm not able to detect the printer attached to the USB port of airport express, neither on my laptop nor on my IPad. Can someone tell me if and how it can be done?

Who assured you that an AirPort Express would allow you to use AirPrint from an iPad. They were incorrect.
AirPrint from iPads and other iOS devices is only supported on a select few wireless network printers that expressly advertise that feature. An AirPort Express will not add that feature to a printer that does not support AirPrint. Also, for printers that do support AirPrint a wireless access point is not required since the printer needs to support wireless networks connections internally.
The HP laptop should however be able to print to the printer connected to the AirPort Express. Try also installing the Bonjour Print Services for Windows. It will make printer discovery a lot easier when using Bonjour enable devices like an AirPort Express.
