IOS 7 and original airport express
I've just upgraded to Iphone 5S and when I access the control panel to stream my Itunes through my original airport express - I don't see the airport express option on the phone. It exists in Itunes on the Macbooks Pro and functions fine - but now seems to me missing on the Iphone. Anyone else having this problem?
Just to let everyone know. I believe my issue was with Comodo Internet Security software. Even though I had the firewall portion off, after uninstalling the airport express speakers came back. Note...I had this configuration working fine with iTunes 9, but 10 must've had some underlying changes.

I attempted to set up a new HP wireless printer. It is unstable and HP support says I have too many devices since I have a time capsule and 4 airport express either extending my network or being used for a different printer or stereos. Anyone else find that their Airport Express/Extreme interferes with a wireless printer. If so, what's the point?
I have a similar model, the HP 8500A here in the home office that I originally hooked up using wireless on an AirPort system consisting of an AirPort Extreme, Time Capsule and 2 AirPort Express devices.
The HP was originally hooked up to the "main" router using wireless as a test to see how wireless would perform. No issues with setup or performance over the first few weeks. I did eventually change the device to connect using Ethernet once I had room to move the device near the AirPort Extreme.
HP is pulling your leg with the advice about too many devices. The AirPort Extreme and Time Capsule will handle up to 50 wireless devices. In my case, I did nothing except follow the setup procedure and restart the entire network....something that I always do when I make any change to the network. -
Can't get my original airport express to connect to new network
I have an original airport express and just changed to a new comcast xfinity router. Airport utility now doesn't see the airport express. Have tried the reset button and still the new network doesn't see it. Am I gonna have to buy a new airport?
Similar situation. Want to use an existing Airport Express on a new network. I did the factory reset. Saw the 4 fast green blinks, and it's now slow-blinking gold. AirPort Utility, however, doesn't see any other Wi-Fi devices. "No remote AirPort Stations discovered." The AE is about 10 feet away from my Time Capsule. My MacBookPro is within 2 feet of the AE and connected to the Time Capsule network.

Original Airport Express & Sky Hub
I've recently changed to Sky broadband in the UK and have their Sky Hub router. With my previous ISP I used an old Netgear router which wasn't n standard wireless, just b/g. Connected to this I had two of the original Airport Expresses both only used for AirTunes. The first in my loung was connected by ethernet and played through my hi-fi. The second in the kitchen was connected wirelessly and played through the aux input of a small digital radio. The signal to this was a bit hit and miss, but worked most of the time.
Now I've changed to Sky the etherent Airport plays fine, but the wireless one will not connect. There is now a stronger wirelss signal in the kitchen and I've also tried it in the same room as the router without any luck.
Incase it was a problem with the Airport Express I swapped them around and reconfigured them, but had the same result.
Is there a setting on the router that needs changing or are the two simply not conpatible? I guess the best option would be to buy a new Airport Express, but I'd rather not pay out £80.
Thanks in advance
Colin.You will require a Mac running an older version of OS X, or a Windows PC to configure an original Express.

How can I set up a wi-fi network, using one time capsule and two airport express
how can I set up a wi-fi network, using one time capsule and two airport express ?
The time capsule is near the Mac. ok
The first Airport is on the corridor, ok, works well and the App on the iPad signals so, ok
But when I plug the next Airport on another room nearby nothing happens, and signals disconected ....
is the signal so weak that is not able to go to ono room to the other ?Well, even if you have the first express set up to extend the network, the second express can only extend from the TimeCapsule.
Maybe you got walls of sheetrook in the way, or kitchen/bathroom tiles, etc, dampening the signal rapidly. -
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.

Hello,
I have a first generation time capsule running 802.11n (b/g compatable) and the airport expresse's are the newer 5ghz models. I have 3 airport express's and I have the range that I need. I can run the time capsule using 802.11n 5ghz, but I loose the range and can't connect to all of the airport express's. My computers and mobile devices run 802.11n. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to increase the network speed. Would the new airport extreme fix the problem?
Thank youUnfortunately, you are experiencing one of the downsides to 5 GHz. That's because the higher frequency 5 GHz signals are much weaker than 2.4 GHz signals.
After all, you always have to give up something to gain something else. In the case of 5 GHz, you gain potential speed but in return, you must give up penetration power and distance capability.
In order to work well, 5 GHz signals need to almost have a line-of-sight relationship between devices. Unless you can achieve this, you will do much better to leave the Time Capsule running at the 802.11n (b/g compatible) 2.4 GHz Radio Mode and allow the Express devices to "extend" that network.
As for the location of the AirPort Express devices in an exended network, that is critical for best performance. That's because the Express can only "extend" the quality and bandwidth of the signal that it receives. Post back if you need a few more tips on how to find the best location for the AirPort Express devices.
Would the new airport extreme fix the problem?
Unfortunately, no. -
I recently (Jan 2012) acquired a MacBook Pro (MBP) running 10.7.4 and an AirPort Express. I also have an old PPC G4 tower (Digital Audio model) running 10.4.11. The OS software on both machines is totally up to date. AirPort Utility on the G4 is 5.4.2 and on 6.0 on the MBP. I bought a used AirPort card for the G4, I believe it is 802.11b compatible, and the wireless data rate is specified at 11 Mbps. Being a newbie to wireless, it took me many days to get these two machines to link up. This network is not connected to the internet, and there no other networks in the vicinity.
My last problem to solve is the very slow file transfer speeds between the two machines. The transfer time seems to vary depending on which machine I use to initiate the transfer, and which direction the transfer is going. For example: If I initiate the transfer from the G4 and send a 5.4MB file to the MBP it takes 1:32 (min:sec), while the same file going from the MBP to the G4 takes 27 seconds. On the other hand if the transfer is initiated on the MBP, going from the MBP to the G4 takes 2:56, while going from the G4 to the MBP takes 1:59. I realize that these times are not actual wireless transfer times but includes the entire transfer process.
Both machines and the AirPort Express are within a 4-foot radius. Both machines are set to radio channel 2. The AirPort Express is set for 802.11n(802.11b/g compatible) with WPA/WPA2 Personal wireless security.
Any help would be appreciated.
CEU2BDAqua,
Thanks for the response.
Apple has used the term "Digital Audio" to identify this machine. System Profiler has the following information:
Machine Name: Power Mac G4
Machine Model: PowerMac3,5
CPU Type: PowerPC G4 (2.1)
Number Of CPUs: 1
CPU Speed: 800 MHz
L2 Cache (per CPU): 256 KB
Memory: 768 MB
Bus Speed: 133 MHz
Boot ROM Version: 4.3.3f2
Serial Number: XBxxxxxMK9
Sales Order Number:
Yes, I could connect them by ethernet if all I wanted to do was transfer files, but I would like to network them so I could use wireless internet. The machines are not always so close together, I did that to simplify the testing. With the very slow transfer speeds I am reluctant to move ahead with the internet step.

Upgraded to iTunes 11.0.5 and now Airport Express doesn't work
Just installed the iTunes 11.0.5 update and now I can't get my Airport Express to work. iTunes won't play and says it can't recognize the Airport Express device. Even when re-booted at both the iMac and the Airport Express - the link is broken. iTunes won't even play the media when the Airport Express is selected -- but the Apple TV and the Computer both work well. Never had this issue before the 11.0.5 update. Any thoughts or assistance?
Thank you very much for your reply. I did find 2 previous iTune libraries but they seem to be empty.
Your advice on back up is gratefully noted ... I always assumed Time Machine would do the job.
I guess like many people I've spoken to it's time to move away from Apple ...a declinig market may be the only thing which will make them realise they need to be more responsive to and respectaful of the millions of individuals who have been their loyal customers for many years.
My business has started moving to Windows and we have been surprised how good it is and products like Office 360 are fabulous in the business environment. We have heaps of iMacs ready for the scrap heap!
I am now looking for an alternative to iTunes. Not an easy feat but clearly there is a huge market opportunity out there for someone to produce a decent product. Any suggestions gratefully accepted. -
What is the maximum distance between a time capsule and an airport express?
What is the maximum distance between a time capsule and an airport express?
You can only "extend" the signal one time, so you need to have the AirPort Express located approximately 1/2 to 2/3 of the distance from the Time Capsule to the area that needs more wireless coverage.
I doubt that this will help much since you have a very challenging setup. Wireless is really only for "same room" or "nearby rooms" around the corner.
To do this correctly you will need to use an Ethernet cable connection from the Time Capsule to the AirPort Express, which could then be located close to the xBox.
If it is not possible to run the Ethernet cable, you might look at a pair of Ethernet powerline adapters to send a "psuedo" Ethernet signal over the AC wiring in your home.
This will not be anywhere near the performance of a regular Ethernet cable, but it will likely be much better than wireless.
Since Ethernet over powerline (EOP) is somewhat unpredictable, you would want to have a very clear understanding of the store's return policy in case things don't work out as hoped. Any computer / electronics superstore will have a selection of powerline adapters to choose from. -
Can you help with D-link and two airport express stations
I currently run a Dlink 604 wireless and 1 Airport express for iTunes in my front room.
A Express is also linked to the Dlink via a cable.
All works fine - G4 dual running OS x 10.3.9
I would like help with a couple of things please:-
1. I have no current security on my Express, so anybody can use the net connection through it. How do I change this and still be able to use my tower and laptop?
2. I have a second Express from work that I would like to use upstairs. It does work but requires me to swap the network to use it for iTunes and then I have no internet.
It was formatted at work so has different ip numbers etc.
Can I make this station join my exisitng network?
As my lap top is wireless will I be able to surf through it upstairs?
Thanks
JohnO1. You need to open the Express's configuration in Airport Admin Utility and change the Wireless Security settings to WEP or, preferably, WPA or WPA2. When you attempt to connect to the network from your computers, you will be prompted for the password.
2. The easiest thing to do is to hard reset the second Express and then use the Airport Setup Assistant to configure the second Express to join and extend the first Express's network. To do a hard reset, hold down the reset button until the LED starts flashing rapidly.
BTW, I know it can work because I have the exact same setup (D-Link DI-604 and two Expresses in an extended wireless network). -
Trouble with iTune and multiple airport express
Hi,
I have a wifi network at home, a PC with windows XP and iTunes, and two airport express stations in other rooms.
I can't figure out why iTunes sometimes sees the "other speakers" (ie airport express stations), sometimes don't, and sometimes sees only one of the two.
The leds are always green on the remote stations, and they are seen in the airport administrator.
Closing iTunes and running it again usually helps (but not always)
Is that something anyone already experienced ?
Thx for help.
NicoIt has been working fine for two days nows, and this morning : no express stations on iTunes...
And they are neither seen in the Aiport Admin utility .

TimeCapsule and 2 AirPort Express (11n) - cant get WDS to work
Hopefully someone can help me - I am running out of ideas ...
Its about a Time Capsule (TC) and 2 AirPort Express 11n (Express 1 and Express2). Express1 is supposed to extend the TC's WLAN so that Express2 can join in.
My WLAN is set to 11n only - 2.4GHz, but I have tried other radio modes as well. I "allow this network to be extended". I have set up Express1 to "Extend my Wireless network". Everything fine so far. TC and Express1 are coming up with the green light.
Now I try to set up Express2 to join the WDS as a remote base station connecting to Express1. In Express2 I choose "Manual Setup":
"Base Station": assigned a name (Express2) and I set a new Password
"Wireless": "Participate in a WDS network", set the Network Name, Channel and Radio mode
"WDS": set as "WDS remote" and WDS Main correctly to the AirportID of Express1 as I want Express2 to connect with Express1
Now I click "Update" and after the reboot Express2 remains flashing amber and I cannot connect to it anymore.
I have read the help pages several times and nevertheless I dont know what went wrong.
I have done tests with choosing "Join a wireless network" but ended up the same.
Can anyone help? Has anyone set up a WLAN running like I want to do it?
1000 Thx for any hints!Can anyone give me a few pointer on how to rewire
ableton with le7.2??
The problem i have is that rewire DOES show up in the
environment page, but i just dont know where to start
from there. I always get intimmidated by that
environment thing in logic.
First, you don't need to do anything with the Environment if you don't need to send MIDI TO Live. If all you want is to get audio FROM Live, follow these instructions:
1. Create a new track in the Arrange window. You should be given the option to create a ReWire track. If so, select it. Your new track appears in the arrange.
2. In the parameters window on the left of screen, you'll see a value called "Channel". Click and hold, then select "Audio", then "Rewire", then "Ableton Live", then "Mix L/R"
3. Now launch Live. Any audio you play should be piped into Logic via the channel you created.
If you need to control Live via MIDI from Logic, all you need to do is create a Rewire object in the Environment, call it "Live", and change the "Device" parameter (again in the parameters box on the left of the screen) to "Live" and change the "Bus" parameter to whatever device you want to control within Live (or Reason, or any other Rewire slave). This is detailed on page 238-239 of the Logic Pro manual, which is available here (http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/LogicPro7_ReferenceManual.pdf).
Sorry that I'm not in front of Logic at the moment, and some of the names of things might be slightly different. But this should get you started.
