I have a HDD attached to my AirPort Express through a 7-port USB

I have a HDD attached to my AirPort Express through a 7-port USB hub. How come it doesn't show in my iMac?

To add to what Tesserax said -

The USB port on the Express only supports a USB printer. You will need to connect the hub to your iMac.

    Eventhough if i connect it with the USB cable, but then i still need a wifi router to connect between Ipad and printer, am I right?

  • Can I extend my network by connecting one of my airport express devices to my airport extreme via an ethernet cable? I have CAT5 cable throughout my house but have a wireless network w/ 3 airport expresses

    Can I extend my wireless network by connecting one of my airport express devices to my airport extreme via an ethernet cable?  I have a wireless network with 3 airport expresses and 1 airport extreme functioning as the base station. I have CAT5 throughout my house.

    Welcome to the discussions, mib88!
    Can I extend the network a second time with another Airport Express...
    The short answer would be no. If you want more details, please continue to the next paragraph.
    Apple's "extend a wireless network" works just like the hub and spokes of a wheel. Your main hub is either the Time Capsule or the AirPort Extreme and the AirPort Express is at the end of a spoke. You can add more devices at the ends of other spokes, but these devices will communicate directly to the hub, not to another device at the end of a spoke.
    Apple does offer an option which is is known as a "static WDS", which can consist of a "main", "relay" and "remote" device. The problem here is that this type of setup has two huge drawbacks:
    1) All of your faster "n" devices will drop down to much slower "g" speeds
    2) The bandwidth or speed capability on the network will drop down to only 25% of the original bandwidth with a "main", "relay" and "remote" on the network.
    Don't think you want this on your network. Your best option is to connect the new AirPort Express to the "hub" using an ethernet connection. If you can't run the ethernet cable, take a look at a pair of ethernet powerline adapters to accomplish the same task by sending the ethernet signal over the AC powerline in your home.

  • Hello, I have Iphone 5 with Itunes music, airport express, 2 stereo speakers. What else do I need to hear music on the speakers?

    Hello, I have Iphone 5 with Itunes music, airport express, 2 stereo speakers. What else do I need to hear music on the speakers?

    Hello ricsch,
    It sounds like you want to setup your Airport Express to Airplay music from your iPhone 5.  I found an article with steps to help you get this setup:
    Connecting to an existing Wi-Fi network, exclusively for iTunes music
    AirPort Express used exclusively for AirPlay by setting it up in Client Mode.
    Choose this configuration if the computer containing your iTunes library may be out of direct range of the AirPort Express, but is within range of the Wi-Fi network.
    How to Set It Up
    Connect your AirPort Express to your home stereo or powered speakers.
    From your computer, join the wireless network. Use the AirPort status menu in the menu bar on a Mac. On a Windows-based computer, hold the pointer over the wireless connection icon until you see your AirPort network name (SSID), and choose it from the list if there are multiple networks available. Enter the network password, if necessary.
    Open iTunes on your computer and choose the AirPort Express(es) you wish to stream music through from the speakers pop-up menu in the lower-right corner of the iTunes window.
    I also recommend reviewing the sections titled "Some things you should know about AirPort Express with AirPlay" and "Things to consider before you begin" in the full article:

  • I can use a modem 3G in the AirPort express, put it in gate USB of the equipamentos?

    I can use a modem 3G in the AirPort express, put it in gate USB of the equipamentos?

    No. The USB port on the AirPort Express is designed to be used only for a USB printer.

  • I can see my Canon MP600 usb connected to Airport Express through Bonjour on my Windows XP. But, when installed by Bonjour, the printor time-out and can't print anything. Any idea what to do?

    I can see my Canon MP600 usb connected to Airport Express through Bonjour on my Windows XP. But, when installed by Bonjour, the printor time-out and can't print anything. Any idea what to do?

    Thanks for the quick reply.
    So am I correct in saying trying to utilise the Airport Express to access the printer over the network was a wasted effort due to the latest iOS? I had read up on the express before purchase and believed that was one of it's main purposes.
    Thanks again for the help.

  • How can i see the hdd, attached to my airport extreme, on the internet?

    I have an Airport Extreme installed with a HDD attached.
    I can see the disk and manipulate files when logged in at home.
    I want to use it as a storage for current files (and more) which I need every day.
    How can I make this visible over the internet and reach it from other places?

    In the 5.6 utility you should be able to see everything via the advanced pages.
    It will not log the name so you will need to work out from your Mac which user corresponds to which MAC address.

  • I have an Apple TV and an Airport Express, can I use these to stream all audio from either my iPhone or my MacBook Pro, including Pandora?

    I have purchased an Apple TV and an Airport Express as a gift for a loved one and was under the impression that these two would not only allow for movies, videos etc would be streamed to the TV from my MacBook Pro, but also set up Airport Express with speakers and stream music from my laptop or iPhone.  Is there a way for all music, including Pandora, to be streamed through the Airport Express?  I can only figure out how it works with iTunes, not Pandora.
    Thanks for the help!!!

    You might want to take a look at Airfoil for Mac to be able to stream any audio source on your Mac.

  • Have a blinking yellow light on airport express.  Reset... Still Blinking.  What do I do?

    Airport Express has blinking yellow light.  Reset.  Still blinking yellow.  All other apple products, Apple TV, Mac's connecting fine to Airport Extreme.
    Had to reset AE a few months ago and have not used this airport extreme since that. Suspect is a simple fix but not doing something right.  Anyone help?

    A persistent, flashing amber light indicates that any of the several potential conditions may require your attention:
    The base station has not yet been configured because it is new, or the reset switch has been set.
    You have selected a security configuration that is not recommended.
    One of several other conditions, such as a disconnected Ethernet cable or invalid IP address has been detected.
    (ref: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305101)
    If you run the AirPort Utility, it will show an amber circle on the summary page next to the area(s) causing the problem. Click on this amber circle and it should provide an explanation.

  • Can I reconfigure how my hp all-in-one is attached to an Airport Express?

    When my hp Officejet 6310 all-in-one is connected by USB cable to an Airport Express, which is connected wirelessly to my Airport Extreme, is loses scanning and other functions (printing works). The Airport Express instructions say to connect printers with USB. But can I use the Ethernet connection between the printer and Airport express? If so, do I need to change my Airport Express settings?

    If I reconfigure using WDS will I notice the print speed being half as fast due to using half the bandwidth?
    Probably not. The data transfer for a print job probably doesn't take a lot of bandwidth.
    Will it effect the speed (or anything else) of the other computers on the network?
    Yes it affects the bandwidth of the entire wireless network. So anything connected wirelessly will feel the pinch.
    Also, I already have a WDS on this network with a different, separate AX (b,g&n) extending the network's reach to other parts of the house. Does that effect what I can / should do?
    Ouch! Each WDS link cuts the available bandwidth in half. So with 2 WDS links you will only have one quarter (1/2*1/2) the available bandwidth.

  • Do you have to pay monthly for an AirPort express?

    Hi.
    I want to know if you have to pay monthly for a airport.
    Thanks in advance!

    No, there is no additional Fee.
    An AirPort express is post-modem, it routes the Internet that you've payed an ISP (comcast, at&t, surewest, etc..) for already into a Wifi signal that users can join. It also gives you the option to stream wireless audio to any system with a 3.5mm (consumer headphone jack) from iTunes or an AirPlay compatible iOS device

  • I have an iPad 2 connected to airport express so that I can play and change music whilst I am teaching ballet class. Recently, I keep losing connection and the airport express gets quite hot. I have alway used Archos but changed to Apple for reliability!

    I have an ipad 2 with airport express that I use to play and change music whilst teaching ballet class. Recently, I keep losing connection and the airport express appears to be getting quite hot. I did use Archos but changed to Apple for reliabilty! Can anyone help or should I just buy a new airport express.

    I agree that it's probably interference. Only other possibility, since you mentioned it, it overheating. Is the express situated so that it is well ventilated? That is to say, not buried under other equipment and laying on its side? What does the status light do when you lose connection?

  • I have set up apple tv and airport express but cannot get apple tv to recognize the airport express wireless. Any solutions?

    Airport Express set up a wireless network in my classroom.  Apple TV is working but only recognizes the school network.  I would like a solution other than connecting the two with a cable. That would require hanging cables since I am using apple TV to run a video projector.

    Hi there,
    I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting articles below and verifying that you have the Apple TV and Airport Express configured properly.
