I did set up my Airport Express to extend my existing network. It did ok but I can't see the name assigned to the Airport Express name in my available networks. Is that normal?

If the AirPort Express is extending your network it is using the same wireless network name as your "main" router.
Your main router and the Express act like one "big" network now.
Your computer will connect to either the main router or the Express automatically....depending on where it sees the best signal.

have an airplay enabled AV Receiver - how do i set up Airplay
I have a Yamaha RX-V673 which is Airplay enabled, but i can't get Airplay to work either on my Mac book or my iphone. The receiver is connected to my network and i can control it using the iphone App and via the web browser option.
Do I need Apple TV or to change some settings somewhere?
Any help would be greatly appreciated

You are making some progress with setup of wireless network. Apparently there is reliability problem with the wireless connection. Perhaps you want to refer to following Apple support documents and start tweaking parameters in the router to improve the reliability. I used to have third-party routers such as Belkin and Netgear but switched to Apple Airport routers (Time Capsule then Airport Extreme for now) because of incompatibility issues whenever Apple upgrade Mac OS X. But since Apple develops Airplay protocol as alternative to Bluetooth for wireless audio/video streaming (with much better bandwidth) and must be deployed in any wireless network, there is no reason third-party routers not working for Airplay protocol.

Windows 7 can't see USB disk (WD Passport) on Airport Extreme

I am needing some help. I just bought an Airport Extreme and everything is working but I can't see my files on the USB external drive from the Airport Extreme. I can see the drive inside of the Airport Utility but not over the network on my laptop.
My laptop is Windows 7.
I read somewhere that I may need to reformat my WD Passport but how do I do that in windows 7 and will I lose my files on the drive if I do this?
THANK YOU SO MUCH for helping me!

There are a number of posts related to issues between Windows 7 and AirPort Disks. Two potential solutions being forwarded are: 1) Changing the LAN Manager authentication level, and/or 2) Disabling the Windows Search feature.
To change the LAN Manager authentication level:
o From the Vista desktop, click Start
o Search for: security
o Click 'Local Security Policy'
o Goto Local Policies > Security Options
o Under Policy, double-click 'Network security: LAN Manager authentication level'
o Change level to: Send LM & NTLM responses
o Under Policy, double-click 'Network security: Minimum session security for NTLM SSP based (including RPC) clients'
o De-select 'Require 128-bit encryption'
o Click OK
To disable Windows Search:
o Start > Control Panel > Programs > Programs & Features
o On the right-hand side, click "Turn Windows features on/off"
o Scroll down, and de-select "Windows Search".
o Press OK, close all windows and restart.
A third "solution," that has worked for me, is verify that both the AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) and the Win7 PC are using the exact same Workgroup Name. In my case, I use "WORKGROUP" (without the quote marks) for this name.
On the AEBS, you would enter this value on the Disks > File Sharing tab.
On Win7, Start > Control Panel > System and Security > System > Change Settings > Change > Workgroup

So I just bout a new iPhone, but I can't see my application that I have previously on the iTunes, so they can be synced to my phone

so I just bout a new iPhone, but I can't see my application that I have previously on the iTunes, so they can be synced to my phone
How can I get them back?

There is no such thing as a "sub-account." Also, you probably mean iTunes library, when you say "account." Your "account" in iTunes is your Apple ID, which is what you use to sign in to the iTunes Store to make purchases. iPods are associated with an iTunes library, not with an Apple ID (iTunes Store account). You'll need to clarify...
So, this is what I think you are saying. You previously shared an iTunes library on a computer with your friend. Your old iPod was synced to that iTunes library.
You got an iPhone, and at that time, you set up your own iTunes library. Is that on a different computer? How does the iPhone affect your question about the iPod?

Can't see directories on HDD connected to Airport Timecapsule from inside apps.

I've set up an Airport Timecapsule 2Tb and connected an Hitachi external HDD to it. Everything was working fine and mostly still is. I can see the files on the HDD from all my Macbooks and iMacs on the wifi network if I use Finder. However, if I use a finder embedded within an app (e.g. Excel or Word) I can see the HDD but when I click on it the directories aren't visible. This was working the other day, but all of a sudden has stopped working. Finder on its own still works fine, I can see all my directories. I'm running Mavericks.
Also, if in Excel for example, I click on Save As or something, the finder window pops open, I click on the HDD but I can't see the directories. However, if I select a previously visited directory from my histories list the directory is displayed and the files and sub-directories within it are all there.
Something seems to have gone wrong in the configs. Can anyone help as at the moment I have to Save As files to a random directory in my history, then open finder and move the file to where I actually wanted it on the HDD?
Thanks in advance.

Hi, Abril_Perez17.
This may be related to a new feature embedded in iOS7 that shows all purchased music by default. Go to Settings > Music, then turn off Show All Music. See if the issue ceases once the feature has been disabled. This information is located on page 63 of the user guide below.

Did you actually link it to your iTunes account?
It doesn't do it automatically.

"How do I connect my iTunes Account?
You can connect your Disney Movies Anywhere account with your iTunes account within your Disney Movies Anywhere Settings. Select Account and then Connect Accounts. Here, select iTunes to begin. You will be guided to iTunes in order to complete the process. Once completed, you can return to Disney Movies Anywhere and visit the Connect Accounts section to confirm that your accounts are connected.
You are able to connect one iTunes account to your Disney Movies Anywhere account. You can disconnect and connect the account at any time, but you will not be able to connect to a different account for 180 days.
Connecting your iTunes account syncs all your eligible Disney, Pixar, and Marvel movies between both services. The movies in your iTunes account are subject to the terms and conditions of the iTunes service. View more details on accessing movies from your iTunes account."

Thank you for your reply. After a lot of fruitless searches, I hit on a page that offered the same wisdom you did. I feel like rather a fool for not knowing that. Grr. I really appreciate your answer, and that you didn't end it with "dummy." Cheers to you. Hope someone does something kind for you today.
