Instructions for iPhone/AirPort Express

Has anyone come upon instructions for setting up an iPhone to stream to the AirPort Express?
Thanks,
Alex

Current Airport Express units should populate automatically in Airplay. Choose the unit you want to stream directly to.

  • I have a cable modem for my Time Capsule.  Do I need a separate cable modem for my airport express?

    I have a cable modem for my Time Capsule.  Do I need a separate cable modem for my Airport Express?  (I'm using it to "extend" my network and also for Air Play.)

    No, you connect to your Time Capsule wirelessly to "Extend" the network..

  • Where can I purchase a replacement CD for the Airport Express Base station A1264?

    Where can I purchase a replacement CD for the Airport Express Base station A1264?
    I'd like to sell my Airport Base Station, but I believe I need a CD with the software on it for the new owner. Anyone know where I can find one?
    Thanks!
    Meredith

    I doubt it is available.. and since a new Mac doesn't even have an optical drive.. there is no need whatsoever today for the cd.. it is all available in the OS or download. In fact the stuff on the cd will now be totally out of date.

  • Airport Utility 6.0.0 breaks support for my Airport Express

    Computer updated to Airport Utility 6.0 but that breaks support for my Airport Express.  When I try to access the Airport Express it tells me I have to download Airport Utility 5.6 - but I can't find that anywhere on the Apple sites to download! 

    My catch-all list of Airport 6.0 & Firmware 7.6.1 problems:
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    I've compiled a catch-all list of problems and changes with Airport Utility version 6.0 and FW 7.6.1. Some of the items may be relevant to this thread.
    THE PROBLEMS WITH AIRPORT UTILITY 6 AND FIRMWARE 7.6.1:
    Introduction: If you find AirPort Utility v6.0 too limiting or strange, you can ALSO install AirPort Utility v5.6, released alongside v6.0, to maintain all your previous capabilities. It works fine with both Airport g and n devices.
    PLEASE NOTE: According to Apple you must FIRST install Airport Utility v6.0 in order to access and install Firmware upgrade 7.6.1. Do that first. THEN install Airport Utility v5.6 and use it instead if you prefer. HOWEVER: Another user has informed me that they were able to use Airport Utility v5.6 to install Firmware v7.6.1 without any problems! This would mean anyone can avoid Airport Utility 6.0 entirely if they chose.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    1) According to Apple's documentation, Airport Utility version 6.0 is ONLY for Mac OS X 10.7 Lion. It is NOT for 10.6 Snow Leopard. If you accidentally installed v6, you'll have to dig around in Apple - Support - Downloads for the previous relevant version for your devices and OS version. Here is the relevant page:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1483
    2) The HELP for Airport Utility has been updated. When you first access it you may well be looking at the old Help. It is supposed to update itself spontaneously over the Internet. It took a couple minutes in my case. Be sure you are looking at the NEW Help before you start using it. One way to tell is that the list of help topics essentially doubles from what there used to be. Also, the very first topic in the NEW Help should read:
    "Set up an AirPort device > Set up a new AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule"
    3) The HELP has some WRONG information. Here we go:
    3a) There is NO "Enable Guest Network" setting. You CANNOT create a guest network or name it or give it any settings. Why this is still listed in Help, I have no idea. Why the setting is gone: This is most likely because the technology behind guest networks, WPS, has been thoroughly CRACKED in the wild. Google "WPS cracked" for lots of documentation of the situation. It won't be resolved soon.
    3b) I can't find any 'Setup Assistant". Everything is now manual. This is not to say that there isn't a setup assistant that appears when you FIRST set up your Airport device. I don't know.
    4) After installing Airport Utility v6.0, there is no indication of the accompanying firmware update until you decide to run the new version. Even then, you have to click on the big icon of your Airport device and notice an 'Update' button about halfway down the popup window. You then have to assume that this button is telling you to update your firmware.
    5) After you update your Airport device's firmware, you may well discover an ERROR subwindow popping up inside Airport Utility that says:
    "An error occurred while updating the firmware. -6721"
    Don't panic! All you need to do is go into your Wi-Fi settings, either in your menubar or the Network preferences, and turn OFF Wi-Fi, then turn ON Wi-Fi again. This is part of a long standing bug in Lion's Wi-Fi with which I bet you are already familiar, certainly up through Lion version 10.7.2.
    6) Miscellaneous changes in Airport Utility 6:
    6a) The keyboard command to manually change your Airport devices settings is GONE. You have to click the little 'Edit' button after clicking on the big icon for your device.
    6b) There is no longer any summary window for your Airport device. You have to instead click on the big "Internet" icon for related data, then click on the big icon for your Airport device for local settings data.
    6c) There is no longer any HELP advising users to EXPORT their settings. (The Help only talks about Import of settings). BE SURE TO EXPORT YOUR NEW SETTINGS! I did this immediately after both updates.
    6d) MAC address filtering for Airport devices is GONE.
    6e) All references to IPV6 anywhere are GONE. I have to assume the IPV6 settings are now entirely working and entirely automatic. Let's hope so.
    6f) Signal and Noise data and graphs are GONE. Use Apple's Wi-Fi Diagnostics app instead. Apple have hidden it here in Lion:
    /System/Library/CoreServices/W-Fi Diagnostics
    6g) In order to access the menu items in Airport Utility, you have to first click on the big icon for your Airport device.
    --> No doubt there are other changes, oddities or bugs related to these changes. But this is what I came up with during a cursory strafing of the software.

  • I have to pay per month for using airport express?

    I have to pay per month for using airport express?

    You would need to investigate which Internet Service Providers (ISPs) are available in your area. You can then contact them about pricing for their services. Typically, you pay more for faster Internet upload/download speeds.
    Most ISPs will provide you with a modem and get the service established at your home. From there, you would connect the AirPort Express to this modem to provide a wireless network.

  • HT1515 which version of Airport Utility is needed for my Airport Express A1084????

    How can I find out which version of Airport Utility is needed for my Airport Express A1084????

    I have this issue, too. The problem with the advice from Saito_Chickara is that Mavericks (I'm on 10.9.2) does not allow you to run AirPort Utility 5.x. So for those of us on Mavericks, what can we do? I have yet to find a solution. This is really frustrating.

  • Case for 2012 airport express

    I plan to use my airport express as a travel router.  Does anyone know if any manufacturers make a case/bag to carry it in ?

    There's a bag designed for the Apple TV and related accessories that would work since it's nearly identical in size as the Airport Express. It's the SF Bags "Apple TV Case"
    http://www.sfbags.com/products/apple-tv-case/apple-tv-case.php
    Otherwise, 3rd party bags for external hard drives and/or portable optical drives are options to investigate. Of course there may be a camera bag that is well suited, but the SF Bags case is the closest I've found to a dedicated bag intended for the Airport Express/Apple TV.

  • Preventing outside access for my Airport Express A1264 wireless hub

    I am new to Mac and to the Airport Express model A1264 wireless hub?. How do I set it up so that I am protected from other people accessing my computer?
    thanks!
    David

    Hello David Carey1. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    The #1 way to prevent "uninvited" guests from accessing your wireless network is to employ wireless encryption. I suggest using the strongest available for your AirPort Express Base Station (AX), which is "WPA2 Personal." Also use a strong password - a password that contains both characters, numbers & symbols and cannot easily be found in a dictionary.

  • What is the range for an Airport Express?

    What is the range (physical distance) for an Airport Express?
    What is the range (physical distance) for an Airport Extreme?

    The range of the AirPort Express is about 150 feet or 50 meters. But, this measurement is taken in free air, with no obstructions like walls or ceilings in the signal path, and no other networks in operation that might interfere with the wireless signal.
    In the real world, in a real home, once the signal passes through 3-4 walls, it is about gone. A ceiling will absorb more of the signal than a wall, because it is thicker. So, as much as possible, you want wireless devices to have line-of-sight with the wireless router for best performance.
    Bottom line....it is not possible to predict wireless performance in advance of any installation since there are so many variables involved.

  • HT4262 I have optimum cable and internet included. Do i need to have my optimum internet inorder for my Airport Express to function?

    I have optimum cable and internet included. Do i need to have my optimum internet inorder for my Airport Express to function?

    The AirPort Express requires a modem with an Internet connection if you want it to be able to access the Internet.
    So, if Optimum is providing Internet service, but you do not have a modem.....you will need to ask Optimum to provide you with one.

  • Can I set up a 2 (or 3) room audio system? I have iphone 3, iphone 4 and ipad 2 and need to know what hardware, if any, I need for this (airport express?, apple TV?) Also, would I use icloud or home sharing?

    I need to know what hardware, if any, I need to do this (airport express?, apple TV?)
    I simply want to send music from my itunes to 2 different rooms at the same time. Is it possible? I have iphone3, iphone4 and ipad2 if that helps.
    Also, would I use icloud or home sharing? Sorry for the noob question, any help is appreciated.
    Thanks!

    The answer is not if you use iTunes.
    The TC is NOT an iTunes server.. it is not a media device at all. It is a backup location for Time Machine.
    You need a computer in the network which stores the iTunes library and you can then play it via the ipad.
    A mini with a large USB drive plugged in will work fine.. it doesn't need to be new.. a couple of years old mini will work just as well.
    As an extention to this, can we use multiple Airport expresses plugged into mutiple sound systems to simultaneously access different music from the same time capsule?
    I am not sure.. there will be network limitations to this.
    Look up how to use itunes in a network.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4620
    You would do better perhaps posting the question in iTunes section.. if as I guess you are actually using iTunes.

  • What are the ideal/optimum settings for the Airport Express for WiFi... ?

    I currently have my MacPro plus my MacBook Pro running from my Airport Express and they work perfectly... but my new iPhone 4 won't see the network... does anyone know why this could be and is it something to do with security or other setting I have on my Airport Express.... I have been onto iPhone 4 support and they are all about restore and resets... it's gotta be something small I'm doing wrong.
    Any suggestions or advice most welcome.

    Hi Bob and Sijnon...
    Cheers for your replies and comments... I don't really know hat a closed network is... I do have it password protected and I'm using the WPA2 Personal security protocol... the one thing I can say is that it is broadcasting in the 5GHz band as I had it set to the 2.4GHz and I couldn't pick up the signal in my kitchen so I switched recently to the 5GHz band and my MacPro now works fine all over the house. I was told by a colleague that the iPhone 4 supported the 5GHz band..?
    Is this the problem... is this reason why it won't join the network..?

  • I use my ps3 online gaming, is the airport extreme or the airport express be compatible with ps3? Is it going to be a better connection compair to other router? Which one is a better choice for me, airport express or airport extreme??

    I bought linksys EA3500 router. Its still in the box and before I open it I want to learn more about the apple airport router, is the apple going to work with my online games with ps3? I have iPad, 2 iPhones, apple tv and Mac mini.  If the airport express or airport extreme is a lot better and will work for ps3 which one should I get?

    Airport will work with PS3.  From what you've stated, the Extreme is more than you need.  Buy the Express.

  • Iphone & airport express

    me and my iphone were out of town last week, and i found myself in a hotel room with free wired internet and for-pay wireless. being too cheap to pay data roaming fees and/or hotel wireless fees, i wished that i could just connect to the perfectly good wired connection in my room.
    the perfect item would seem to be my handy little airport express (which i had left at home, of course). it has the necessary wired to wifi access point, so it would be the right thing to bring along next time.
    but that's not the question. my question is about the usb port on the airport express. i've tried it, and it DOES NOT charge my iphone 3GS (v. 3.1). i've tried using two known-good usb cables that both work with my official apple a/c adapter as well as a nice 3rd party adapter.
    has anybody gotten the airport express to charge their iphone 3G? does the printer port need to be turned on, or is there a magic charging cable required? (there is a 3rd party device that claims to solve all usb port-related charging issues, but does it work?)
    not only am i too cheap to pay for wireless internet, i'm also too lazy to carry extra gear, if i don't need to.

    Just tried one of my AEXs for the heck of it with my iPhone 3G with 3.1. No message and it is charging.
    Is your firmware up-to-date on your AEX and how is it configured?
    but did you leave it on for more than a few seconds?
    when i tried it, it started charging for about a minute, then beeped and put up a message that this accessory was not made for the iphone and it cannot continue charging.
    i'm using an iphone 3GS (firmware 3.1), the apple usb cable that came with it (6 weeks ago), and an airport express (firmware 7.4.2), not the airport extreme.
    there are very few options to configure on the airport express regarding the printer port; obviously, the usb port is active or it wouldn't have beeped and started charging.

  • ITunes 11 Airplay works for one Airport express, can't see the other

    I have two Airport Express units in my house - both working, both with speakers hooked up to them. My iPhone can send music to both of them, but iTunes 11 only shows one of them. Any ideas?

    oops - screen shot didn't upload for some reason, but it just shows my iTunes airplay window only showing "computer" and "Core Station-Upstairs" - not "Sunroom"
