IMac not conecting with airport express

Could you help me because i have some problems with my IMac that not connecting with air port express even if wifi signal going on....

Look for the model number on your AirPort Express. It's on the side of the device in the faint print.
It will likely be either A1084 or A1088, which are older versions of the product produced up until 2007.
If you have either of these models, AirPort Utility in the Mountain Lion operating system no longer supports these older versions of the AirPort Express.
If you have another Mac there using the Leopard 10.5.x or Snow Leopard 10.6.x operating system, you can use that Mac (or a PC) to administer the old AirPort Express.
It might also be possible to use a workaround......not supported by Apple, so success cannot be guaranteed. If you want to try that, check out this thread:

Mac OS X not working with Airport Express but Win XP is ok on the same iMac

Hello everyone,
as the message says I am having troubles with Airport Express.
To say it quickly, I live in a house share in London, and everyone in the house enjoys the wifi without troubles. I do as well with my macbook from every point of the house.
The troubles are with the big iMac: with mac os the internet signal won't just work at all, pages take minutes to load with both safari and firefox, and most of the times the loading times out.
I thought it was a signal power problem, but the weirdest thing of them all is that... when I switch to Windows XP on the same iMac (and right now I am writing from that!) the internet works perfectly!
Then I switch to mac os again... and slow internet again!
Anyone has an idea of what could this be?
Many thanks for the support

Yes, I just discovered this problem on my own machine.
I just wanted to check some settings and discovered that the behaviour of the GUI of Server Admin was somewhat "erratic": First this "no services are configured" message. Some of the configured servers were marked with the usual green "up and running" bullet, others dark grey - those were normally configured and running and clicking the appropriate line seemed to force Server Admin to check the actual state and then turned also green. But sometimes configuration pages were "greyed out", or while switching through the tabs Server Admin claimed that where were "unsaved changes" which should be saved (or discarded).
And then SMB: this was light grey, as usual when a service is not running and clicking on it I browsed through the configuration tabs - everything seemed ok (all my settings were correctly shown, configured as PDC with right domain name etc.) - and I started the service. Then suddenly the configuration settings changed to the default settings - no more PDC, but a "standalone server" with workgroup name "WORKGROUP"...
Looks for me, as if Server Admin lost it's "source" file for the configuration (the file in /var/db/smb.conf says, that it is automatically generated -- does somebody were the source file is stored?)...

Imac internet not working with airport express

Hi there,
I purchased an imac for my upstairs bedroom, but the signal from the time capsule was weak, so I bought an airport express and set it up. But still I cannot connect to internet even though after running the network diagnostics say I am connected to internet. My macbook works perfectly in the bedroom with all airport bars working, but the imac still has only two bars. I've tried everything, help!!

Same issue you have except I never connected the printer directly to my Mac via the USB. Went straight to the wireless Airport Base Station and connected the printer. Printer is found in "Printer Setup Utility" and connected via "Bonjour", unsure what that is. However the *"Printer Setup Utility"* is asking me to select: *"Print Using"* and giving choices such as CANON BJC-1000 - GIMP-PRINT v5.0.0 beta2. I am unsure what to select. And the printer still doesn't print even with one of these 20 choices selected. Any ideas from anyone?

D-Link DIR-615 (Rev H1(!)) does not work with Airport Express?

Hi there,
I had my AirPlay working just fine with my Airport Express (AX) and my wireless N Router D-Link DIR-615 (Rev. B2). Now I changed my Internet provider and received a D-Link DIR-615 (Rev. H1) and I cannot find my AX anymore (I mean, it's still here, but the AirPort Utility cant find it!)
Are there known issues between those two?
(The Rev. H1/B2 is the Hardware Version of my D-Link DIR-615. The Firmware is up-to-date (8.01 I think))
The status light is a solid, beautiful green.
I already tried the following:
- restart the AX, the D-Link and my MacBook (10.7.2)
- changed from AES to TKIP (found that somewhere in the internet)
- Reseted my AX to factory settings and configured everything new. (via Ethernet)
Probably interesting:
- After resetting to factory settings and configuring everything new, the AX showed up in iTunes, but when I tried to connect with it, it kept me waiting for 1-3 Minutes and simply did not connect w/o error message. The AX disappeared after restarting iTunes.
I'm running out of solutions..
Anyone a good question/suggestion or answer for me?
greetings
squob

Only way I see out other than waiting, is to hook he Drive to a Mac, (FW preferable for speed), then get Tri-Backup...

Which can be set to trigger Backups when Shares mount.

HP PSC 1410 not printing with Airport Express

I have just purchased this printer. I'm running Tiger on a Powerbook G4.
When I set up the printer with a direct USB connection to my computer, the printer is added with the driver "HP All-in-One 3.0.1" automatically chosen. It works just fine.
When I plug in the printer to my Airport Express, the same All-in-One driver is automatically offered. I chose it, and the printer is added to my list of printers no problem. However, it just won't print. It tries to start the print job, and then the printer icon bounces in the dock with a big red exclamation mark. I try to click on start print job, and the same thing happens - it tries to start the job, but then just stops and the exclamation mark appears.
Does anyone know what might be wrong?
Thanks
Theresa

The PSC 1410 is not on the list of known compatible printers found at http://www.efelix.co.uk/tech/1013.html - which may very well explain the problem.

Can I have cable modem connected to iMac but shared with Airport Express?

I have my internet access to my iMac through a cable modem wired to the Mac. I use the Airport Express to play music from the Mac wirelessly to my stereo. Can I then share the internet access I have on the iMac through the AX without actually connecting the modem to the AX? The wiring is easier to get to the Mac than it would be to get wiring from the cable modem to the Airport Express at the stereo. I want to be able to access the internet wirelessly from a PC laptop that I also have.
Thanks

Yes, you can do that. Using the AirPort Utility, you would set the AirPort Express up to create a wireless network giving it whatever name you want. When it gives you an error message that nothing is connected over ethernet, you can click the button to ignore that message and it will perform as you are requesting.
Note that if your internet connection stops working when you do this, then you may need to change your network port priority so ethernet is higher than AirPort.

Why is my iMac not detecting my AirPort Express

I just got an AirPort Express, and my iMac won't detect it using the AirPort Utility. How do I resolve this issue?

In order for the AirPort Utility to "find" the new AirPort Express Base Station (AXn), you must first connect the iMac to the AXn's wireless network. By default, the AXn will broadcast an unsecure wireless network with a name like: Apple Network NNNNNN.

Time capsule base station not working with Airport Express

Hi...
I have a network setup using the airport base station hat is part of my (older) time capsule. I also have an older Airport Express.
My network is working fine...and looks like the first image below. When I plug in the Airport Express and reset it...I get what you see on the second image. The thing is...the airport utility is supporting the base station just fine prior to looking for the airport. I presently have airport utility 6.3.2 and my airport base station has firmware 7.6.4.
Any help would be great....thanks!

Your express is a G wireless model and not compatible with the N wireless TC.
You can use it but only by using it with ethernet and setting it up as AP.. you also need to use 5.6 utility not v6.. apple removed support for G wireless devices from v6.
LOL..
I was 2min late.

Internet connection not recognized with Airport Express

Prior to getting my first Airport Express, I'd had my broadband modem connected directly to my Mac mini. Since I hadn't an iphone or ipad back then, wireless access wasn't an issue. When that changed, I purchased a first-generation Airport Express. My setup was as simple as it gets:
a) Unplug the ethernet cable from my mini.
b) Plug the ethernet cable into the (single) ethernet port on AE.
c) Using Airport Utility, create a wireless network.
d) Join that network with each of my devices - mini, iphone & ipad - so I might access the Internet wirelessly.
That's it. I've no printer or sound system to which I need wireless access. No extended wireless or other complicated networks.
My hardware setup needs haven't changed. However, because I was having intermittent problems with the wireless connection to my mini, I thought the new AE with its dual bands might help. I bought one yesterday, thinking to use it in place of the old AE.
I figured the setup would go as easily as it did last time. I was wrong. I've spent the last six hours trying to get the new AE to work. The problem is that the Internet connection is not being recognized. First, there was a message about a "self assigned IP address." I googled that, found discussions here about it, and (seemingly) managed to get rid of that problem. But now, no matter how many times I've unplugged/factory reset/restarted the various devices (AE, modem, mini), I can't get an Internet connection. The only way I've been able to write this message is to have reconnected the broadband modem directly to my mini. So I am completely without wireless at this point.
What is wrong? How the heck can I fix this?

Well, thanks to my own stubborn tenacity, I finally got my spanking new Airport Express to work. I'd tried several factory resets, following the recommendation that one power down all devices (not just the AE), plus other fiddling about, all to no effect.
The last factory reset I did differently. I kept my broadband modem and computer still on, and only unplugged the AE then plugged it in again while depressing the reset button for ten seconds. (Those factory resets aren't easy to do when you've only two hands!)
Finally, this time when I clicked the wi-fi icon in the menu bar, I saw the AE listed there, which allowed me to follow the setup process as described here.

Xbox 360 not working with Airport Express

I have a Airport Extreme router and I just bought a airport express so I can wirelessly relay the signal and hook up my xbox 360 to the express. I put it in WDS mode and it worked fine up until the xbox 360 ran the IP address test. It didn't pass the IP and my settings were on automatic. I thought the Express acts as a extension to the Airport but I guess not. Are there any settings I can change to make this work? Please help.

BT Home Hub not working with Airport Express

We have just moved house and had BT Internet installed. It uses the very latest Home Hub but this is causing the Airport Express to fail.
On occasion it works but more often than not the connect is lost and the MacBook/Airport Utility fail to see the AE's again.
What can I do to keep my Airport network up and running all the time. I NEVER used to have this problem with my old set up at my home house.

Whenever you make a change on your network.....in this case a new router......you need to reset the AirPort Express back to factory defaults and then reconfigure it again to work in the new environment.
Power down the AirPort Express
Hold in the reset button on the AirPort Express and keep holding it in for another 8-10 seconds as you plug the Express back in to power
Release the reset button
Allow 40-45 seconds for the AirPort Exrpess to restart
Open AirPort Utility and click Continue to follow the guided setup to configure the Express to "join" your wireless network.

Photosmart C4280 not working with Airport Express

I have a Photosmart C4280 connected to an Airport Express Base Station via USB for wireless printing. I have two computers that I want to use for printing - an iMac and a Toshiba laptop running Windows XP. Printing from the Mac works perfectly and required zero configuration. On the laptop I created the printer using Bonjour. It located the printer on the network without a problem and I selected the driver for the HP 4200 Series printer. However, when I try to print, the print job sits in the qeue and eventually I receive an error message that it couldn't print.
I have disabled the Norton and Windows firewalls but that doesn't solve the problem. I have also tried some generic drivers but that didn't work. Does anybody have any additional suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

It describes a Vista/AirPortExpress/C4280 installation, but should be relevant to XP.
