I have FIOS. I linked my FIOS router via ethernet cable to an Airport Extreme. I want to extend the range using an Airport Express wirelessly; however when I plug in the Express, the network does not find it.
Any help is appreciated.
Make sure the ethernet cord is plugged into the WAN port on the Aiport (the port with a circle of dots above it) and do a hard reset (hold the reset button until the light blinks rapidly.) It will not automatically appear in the Airport Utiltiy. You are looking for the airport under the wifi menu after a few minutes or in Settings>Wifi on an iOS device that you can click to join and continue to setup.

My internet 3rd party access point in in the basement and the speakers I want to stream music to wirelessly are upstairs. Does Airport Express need to be connected to my 3rd party router via ethernet cable or will it stream music wirelessly?
Wirelessly
Just select the option to make your AirPort Express join an existing network in the setup process -
Does it mean that your airport express is bad when you plug it in and the light stays a steady(not bliinking) amber and my computer is unable to find it?
Thanks Bob for the respose. This is a unit that I have had and used for about a year. It was working perfectly, and then while being used, the green light all of a sudden went to solid amber and I haven't been able to get it green since. It does go green however for just a spilt second when plugged in and then returns right back to amber after it has been plugged in for a few moments. I have a feeling that it is history and is malfunctioning. I have tried a factory reset many times with no luck.

I have a 16GB iPhone 3GS. Tried synching my phone through iTunes (11.0.1 I think... on a 2009 Macbook Pro). Now when I connect to iTunes, it says it does not recognise the content on my phone. Is this because my phone (and laptop) are too old?
Also, when I tried to Restore the settings, an Error Message pops up that says " The iPhone software update server could not be contacted. The requested resource was not found.
I'm trying to free up space on my phone by removing [literally] thousands of old photos which were originally synched to the phone, because I had forgotten to uncheck the photos button when I synched it ages ago.
I have also tried synching it on my 24" iMac (running OSX Snow Leopard). But again, when I try restoring the phone through itunes, it says the file is corrupted. It sggests unplugging the device, and then plugging it in again. I have done this numerous times with no success.
I'm guessing it must be because my phone (and versions of iTunes, and OSX) are all too old.
Please can anybody help.
Cheers,

I made a purchase of an album on iTunes...somehow I deleted the whole album from my iMac and now when I go back to my purchases it does not give me the option to download the whole album again, instead it gives me the option of plaing them...please help!!
Where are you looking to download them from ? You might be able to redownload them via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your Mac's iTunes. If that album shows there but doesn't have the cloud symbol against it for redownloading then that implies that it's still in your iTunes library

Did the Firefox installation finish without problems?
You can check:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser_will_not_start_up
A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

I have iCloud on my iMac, macbook and iPhone. However, when I update my contacts on one, it does not update on any of the other devices. The calendar seems to be working. Any suggestions?
On the iMac and MacBook open System Preferences > iCloud
Deselect the box next to Contacts, then reselect it then restart the Macs.
On the iPhone tap Settings > iCloud
Switch Contacts off then back on then restart the iPhone.
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button down until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPhone. To turn iPhone back on, press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears. -
I have bought an ipad, and when i go to reset it, it needs the restrictions password which i dont know. When i plug it into itunes, it asks to turn find my iphone off, which needs the password of the old owners itunes.What should i do?
If you're able to contact the person who set the lock, send them this link and tell them to follow its instructions.
If not, you can't use the device but may be able to get it refunded. Apple won't remove the lock for anyone other than the original owner(assuming they're alive.)

Any photos in your camera roll, not previously imported to your computer, you will lose. You should be regularly importing these photos, as the iPhone's camera roll is not designed as a storage device.
Had you been regularly syncing/backing up, you wouldn't lose anything. Now you know, don't backup your data, and you will eventually lose it all, guaranteed. -
Every time my imac sleeps or restarts it loses the wireless connection with my airport express (used for streaming music). I then have to disconnect the airport express from my stereo, bring it to my router, connect it to my router with ethernet cable and reset the wireless connection. Even with my airport express in the same room as my router Airport Utility cannot find it until i plug in an ethernet cable, so i do not think this is an issue with my wireless network. Router is a newer netgear.

When I plug my iPod Touch 4g into my computer I get a pop-up that says "This iPod cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not started." And when I plug in my iTouch the name of the iTouch does not come up on my iTunes. How do I start the Apple Mobile Device? How do I fix this?
I'd start with the following document with that one:

Express to Broadband router via ethernet cable
I need to confirm something. I would like to purchase an Express 802.11n to set up a faster internet connection for my wife's MacBook, it can use the enabler. I have a fast FIOS internet connection (20/10). Can I connect the Express to my broadband router via an ethernet cable and will my wife see the speed difference? I have done a few speed checks and the 802.11g Airport network peaks out at about 7 mps. I expect to see her machine peak at about 15 mps if configured as a 802.11n only network. Is this about right? I would still have to suffer with the slower network, but us men do crazy things for love.
MarkIf your wife's MacBook is connected directly via Ethernet to the FiOS router does it show a connection faster than 7 Mbps? If not, changing the wireless interface isn't going to help anything.
If she does get the full 20 Mbps via Ethernet then switching to 802.11n might getter her a faster wireless data transfer. -

I am using an older AirPort Extreme as my base station and I want to extend the range by using a recently purchased AirPort Express. When I try to find either device using the AirPort Utilities function on either my new IPad 4 or my older MacBook Pro neither device is detected. However the utility is seeing that we are connected to the Internet which is through the Extreme. What am I doing wrong?
For now, leave the AirPort Express powered off.
Power off the entire network....all devices.....in any order that you want
Wait a few minutes
Power up the modem first, and let it run 2-3 minutes by itself
Power up the AirPort Extreme next, and let it run a full minute
Keep powering up devices one at a time about a minute apart until everything is powered up (leave the Express off for now)
Open AirPort Utility and check to see if the AirPort Extreme is visible.
If it's not, click the AirPort Utility menu at the upper left of the screen, then click About AirPort Utility. Post back with the version number of AirPort Utility that you see there....which should be AirPort Utility 5.6.1.
Post back on your progress.
