I lost control over my Airport Express

I lost control over my Airport Express. It is still working, wireless network is alright, but the Airport Utility can not find it. I reinstalled the utility on my desktop but still the same.

That's irritating. What is the exact message provided by AirPort Utility? Is it something like "No configured AirPort base stations have been found"?
What version of AirPort Utility are you using, which AirPort Express model do you have (look on its case for a number like A1084, A1264 or A1392), and what version of OS X are you using?

  • How do I get my PC to play internet music over my Airport Express?

    Can you help please?
    I want to play music from the internet over my Airport Express rather than the PC speakers. Playing itunes music works fine.

    You will need an application like Airfoil for Windows to be able to stream any audio source on your PC to the AirPort Express.

  • HELP: My ARD 3.1 cannot control iBook on Airport Express network

    I use my ARD 3.1 on my Intel iMac OS 10.4.8 fine to control machines in my network and several out of network that are NOT using a router.
    My sister's iBook, Mac OS 10.4.8 is giving me headaches as I cannot connect to it via ARD. She has everything in the top section checked in System Preferences>Sharing>Apple Remote Desktop>Access Priviledges and her firewall in Sharing is turned off with Apple Remote Desktop checked. She does not have VNC checked.
    We have accessed her Airport Express via the Airport Admin Utility and in Port Mapping, we individually added 3283, 5900, 5988 under both public and private port and hit update and restarted the iBook. Note that she is the ONLY machine on her network that is password protected, so the end of her Private Address showed 201.
    Then in ARD, I went to Scanner, pulled down to Network Address and typed in her external IP (69.xxx.xxx.xxx) which we easily obtained via the widget iStat. I know her admin user name and password for the iBook and entered it.
    However, when I try to connect, I get an error message "Connection failed to cpe-69-xxx-xxx.xxx.nyc.res.rr.com"
    Something so little has got to be off. Help! I've done so much reading on this, but I'm stuck.
    Thanks so much!

    You kinda lost me. Her private address is static since she is the only one on her network, right?
    I have no idea what bridging is.

  • Problems syncing Airtunes over multiple Airport Express speakers

    I've recently purchased a second Airport Express to allow me to stream music over airtunes to two rooms in the house at the same time. However, the music doesn't synchronise - there is a noticeable latency between the two sets of speakers so it sounds awful when you move from one room to another.
    Is there any way to address this? I'm wondering if the issue is that one AX is brand new and the other is about two years old (so is only 602.11g, not 602.11n and is also on older firmware).

    Unfortunately, you're at the mercy of both the ieee802.11 and ethernet standards here, and without complex timing signals, there isn't much you can do. The latency can be affected by any number of issues. I have found, however, that having both AX's on the same type of networks (such as both on ethernet or wifi) does help. However, I did have my appleTV on wifi and AX on ethernet with no timing issues.

  • Setup over WAN AirPort Express

    Hi all,
    I just checked the box "Allow setup over WAN" in the AirPort Utility, now, how do I connect to the AirPort Express from my office?
    Thanks,

    Hi kevin_h,
    By checking the box "Allow setup over WAN" you can now configure the base station over the Ethernet network connected to the WAN port (Wide Area Network port) of the Airport Express.
    AirPort Utility 6.x: Give your base station or AirPort Time Capsule a name and password
    Select Allow Setup over WAN if you want to configure your wireless device over the Ethernet WAN port. This lets you make changes to settings when you’re connected over a network.
    This assumes your office is wired to the Airport Express with Ethernet.
    Once configured, you can connect to the base station wirelessly.
    See the Setup Guide here:
    manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1613/en_US/airport_express_80211n_2nd_gen _setup_guide.pdf

  • Lost internet connection to Airport express

    My Netgear DSL modem/wireless router is able to connect to the internet and my Mac book pro airport is able to communicate with it. I have Airport express base unit connected to the router by ethernet cable and I was using faster N wifi to communicate with laptop. I use G wifi to communicate with Iphones. Few days ago I lost ability to connect to the internet with Airport express. Laptop is connected to it showing all bars and during troubleshooting all part of the setup screen show green dots except IPS and further down rest is red. I can connect through Netgear using its G wifi. Troubleshooting so far did not work. I reset pasword, created new network, reset airport extreme to factory setting but I am getting error that there is nothing connected to Ethernet port. I tried 3 diferent cables, each one of 3 netgear ports and there is no change. Is it a defective ethernet port on the airport express? Is there a test I can confirm that? Thanks for your input in advance.

    Suggest that you temporarily turn off wireless on your laptop and connect it to one of the ethernet ports on the Netgear router to see if you can get an internet connection that way. If you can, check the other ethernet ports on the Netgear to makes sure they are all operating.
    However, if you can't get an internet connection with the laptop connected directly to the Netgear, then the probable trouble spot points to the ethernet ports/switch on the Netgear.
    If everything checks OK in the first paragraph, then you know that the Netgear is functioning correctly and you can look elsewhere for the issue.
    Try a factory default reset on the AirPort Express again as follows:
    Power it down for a few minutes
    Hold in the reset button and keep holding the button in as you plug the AirPort Express back in to power
    Release the reset button after 10 seconds
    After reconfiguration of the AirPort Express, if you continue to receive the "no ethernet" message after a few tries, then it's likely that there has been an internal failure within the AirPort Express. This can sometimes occur on AirPort Express devices that are a couple of years old or older.
    If that's the case, I'm afraid the AirPort Express will need to be replaced.

  • In Windows XP I have lost control over third party cookies

    I bought a refurbished computer with Windows XP. But now I have noticed there is no control over cookies in Firefox. In Windows Vista there was 'block third party cookies' there was 'state which websites to permanently block' or 'allow' and even then I was only using Firefox... Now there is nothing. On top of that none of the "cookies control" add-ons for Firefox seem to be any good at all. I don't know what to do!
    Why would Firefox change with Windows XP?? I can see with IE of course but Windows operating system has nothing to do with Firefox, if you know what I mean.

  • Had a Airport Express connected to my stereo and it was working.  I brought an Airport Extreme and suddenly it took over and Airport Express stopped working and disappeared from Airport Utility. What I am supposed to do?  ar2ro

    I have an Airport Express connected to my stereo and it was working without any problem.
    Recently I bought an Airport Extreme to use it as my Base Unit connecting it to my DSL.
    I followed the instructions of the Airport Utility, and it started working.
    Suddenly, problems started happen the Airport express that was connected to the stereo , stopped working and it disappeared from the Airport Utility area , as it did not exist in the network. I tried to reset it but it did not appear in the Airport Utility page.
    Apparently I have other problems with the private network that it created because I cannot use it because of problems with the password that was created.  I can only use the network that  I created for my guest...
    I dont know if my problem is a configuration problem or  there is problem with the equipment.
    I read that other users where having the same problem with the Airport express , using non apple equipment as their base unit , but I thought that using the Airport Extreme was going to be compatible and no problems would happen.
    What should I do?

    Common Problem. Common solution.
    Connect your Express via ethernet cable to the Mac while other network connections on the Mac are switched OFF.
    After the Express shows up, change the settings of the Express to join the existing network. Take the appr. settings.
    Unplug and reconnect your Mac to the network.
    Check if the Express shows up in Airport Utility
    Alternative solution:
    Hardreset the Express to factory settings
    (while on power push the Pin next to the audio plug with a paperclip. Plug out the Express still holding down the little button then replug the Express to power and release button)
    After that, the Express will show up in the Airport Utility.
    Make all needed settings.
    I would prefer the first solution, its easier just to plug a cat5 cable.

  • ITunes playing over 3 Airport Express basestations

    I've read that people have success now playing iTunes over multiple basestations, but wondered if this was just over 2, or if anyone had tried it with 3 basestations? Obviously its quite expensive to buy 3 and try it myself!
    Thanks

  • Lost control over my leoServer

    Hi
    after password issues with my macbook i experienced the same problems with my MacMini OS X Server (Leopard, recently updated). I wondered if it is technicly possible that someone had hacked my system - or both of my systems? I am only using the server occasinally as a file server. I have to say, that before that happened we had a short in the house and the electricity went off for a few minutes. The server was not on during this and the Macbook was running through the battery. But the VDSL-router got turned off.
    The problem: I can't access my server anymore. I tried "t"-mode to access it via firewire from my macbook and I tried to reinstall from the DVD (holding "c"). Nothings works. The log in just doesn't work.
    Any ideas? Thanks for any help.

    Hi Mike
    thanks for your reply.
    As for hacking: it was strange that both of my macs have issues at the same time. I could not access them anymore. For the MacBook (Leo) I could not assign a new password using the DVD. I mean, I could assign it and I could write a new hint which got displayed after three tries, but I could not access my Macbook. I used a time time machine backup, but even that one had the same issues. Well, in that case I could reinstall the MacBook and was than dragging stuff back by hand. The thing happened, after I wanted to install iLife 09 when the system asked me for the password. Out of the blue...
    Strange, that at the same time I had password Issues as well with my MacMini (Leo server).
    Back to your question: I am talking about the main login. Starting up the Mini. Option to change volumes doesn't work - and holding c has no effekt either.
    Hope you understand my situation now better. The funny thing is, that I "see" my server from the macbook and was able to get files from there. But there is no way to access it.
    Thanks for any further help.
    I appreciate it.

  • Lost control over sound after Lion installation.  2009 MacBook Pro.  Solutions?

    After I updated to Lion on my mid 2009 MacBook Pro, my sound is unable to be adjusted, no matter what I try.  Took it to Apple store and it started working fine, but once I got it back the sound icon is grayed out and no ability to adjust sound again.  Not a logic board issue.  The headphone jack does not turn red.  Any solutions or anyone else with this problem?

    This happened to me.  A reboot fixed it for me.
