ITunes can not find my airport express

Hi I'm having a lot of issues trying to setup my airport express.
It's wired to my 3com router, on my computer, using airport utility 5.6.1 for windows, I can manually access to the airport express configuration, but the automatic scan can't find it. I put it on bridge mode.
With the computer I can connect wiressly to the airport express or the router (on both cases I can use the ip of the airport expess to access it).
Itunes refuses to find it. On the airport express I enabled the airplay check and on itunes the " allow itunes audio control from remote speakers".
What else do I need to do to listen to my itunes music from the speakers connected to my airtunes express?
Thanks.

I was able to fix it, the problem was that I used a VM and the virtual ethernet connected to the airport was not the same as the one mapped to the wireless connection.

Airport utility can not find my airport express...

Airport utility can not find my airport express...
I was trying to connect a PC (Windows XP) laptop to my wireless network via the airport express.
I have a Mac with an airport that I use to get internet in my other room. I am trying to get internet on the laptop too.
I somehow manage to erase my network & now my airport utilities won't even scan/recognize my airport??
ANY help would be appreciated, mac helpline wanted $59 to help & I live in a small northern community where they do not have anyone that will address a Mac issue!!
Thanks for your time.

Thank you SO MUCH Tesserax for taking the time to help!
I powered everything down, slowly powered everything else up from the modem to the airport then the computer. I then reset the airport & rescaned it through utilities. I set up a new network & voila! wireless up & running again.
I am going to try to connect the laptop to the network now.....well, mabey tomorrow night, I've had enough for 1 evening!
I will update....or possibly be begging for more help...we'll see!
Thanks again for your time!

My airport utility does not find my airport express device

My airport utility does not find my airport express device

In order for the AirPort Utility on your iOS device to find the Express, both need to be connected to the same Wi-Fi network. By default, the Express will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a network name of something like: Apple Network NNNNNN. Can you iOS device find this network?

My airport express is still providing a link to my wifi network but I can't find my airport express on my macbook and i can't link to my bose speakers through it ... any bright ideas?

I'm not sure what you mean. You can't find the express to set it up.. or you can't find the network created by the express?

IBook not finding my Airport Express

I'm hoping someone can please help me. I have an Intel iBook and I had a power failure at my house the other day and for some unknown reason it no longer finds my Network. It finds others in the units around me but not mine. I know AX is working because my G5 iMac has no problems finding my network. Can anyone help?

Both my intel based Macbooks seem to 'lose' AE, sometimes what I do is get a direct ethernet cable from the AE to the offending MB then go through the Airport Utility in Applications/Utilities just to make sure the AE is working properly and then go trough the settings.
is it on the correct password type etc.
Then have a look at system preferences/Network and make sure you have the same corresponding settings as the Airport Utility by selecting Advanced button the near bottom right.
Some people are saying that you should run a Hex Password but I'm not certain it makes any real difference as I did that and my MBP still managed to lose AE yesterday. People are also suggesting soft resets and hard resets downgrading the AE firmware, giving sacrifices to the local Gods and Deities etc..
If you do a hard reset (unplug press the grey button in, plug back in still holding the grey button until you get fast orange flashes), it does work, that is until you put your personal security back, then it will mysteriously play hard to get again.
What I have found is that you can spend hours & hours trying to find your AE to no avail, or you can unplug it and come back to it the next day and all is fine as I have today. I have learned the hard way that patience pays off, if your iBook can't find your Airport Express simply unplug your AE unit & come back to it tomorrow, it is likely to find it again. Let me know if it doesn't and I'll endeavour to take you through the more involved methods described before (excluding sacrifices of course)
Good luck!

I can not configure my airport express

Hi everyone, I'm currently in China and I bought and Airport express just to have a bit more signal in my dorm, however it's been 2 days and I can not configure my airport express everything seems find until the point that I choose join to an existing network and then choose my college and it get stuck for almost 20 min and after it says something about an error, then I switch off and it no longer recognized the airport it keeps looking for and airport base. Please what should I do?

The AirPort Express cannot wirelessly "extend" or "repeat" the wireless signal from another router.....unless that other router is an Apple product.
It is highly unliklely...but possible.....that the dorm would be using another Apple router to provide the wireless service.
The Express is really designed to connect to an Ethernet wall port using a short Ethernet cable connection. When you do it this way, the Express can be set up to provide your own private wireless network in the room.

My iPhoto has crashed and will not load up my picture and iTunes can not find my photos. Why?

My iPhoto has creashed and will not load up my pictures and iTunes can not find my picture either. Why?

Tell us more please - so it is hard to guess what might have happened.
What is your iPhoto version and your MacOS X version?
What happened directly, before you could no longer open your iPhoto library?
Did you install or upgrade software?
Did you import new photos to your iPhoto library?
Are other programs also behaving buggie?
Did you move your iPhoto library to a new harddisk?
Did you run other programs, that might have changes the iPhoto library?
How full is your harddrisk? Could it be, that you are running out of disk space?
Anything at all, that could give us a clue ...

Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
In AirPort Utility how is your AirPort Extreme configured in the AirPort panel, Wireless tab, Radio Mode list? If it's set to 802.11n only the AirPort card in your G5 probably doesn't support that.

Disconnect the device, and unplug all USB devices from your computer.
Shut your computer down, then power it back on.
Reconnect your device, testing each USB port for approximately 30 seconds to see if your device is recognized.
Test with an alternate, known-good 30-pin to USB cable or Lightning Connector to USB cable if available.
If you have an external USB 2.0 hub available, connect the hub to your PC, and then connect the iOS device to the hub.
If your device shows up in iTunes, try disconnecting the external USB 2.0 hub and connecting the iOS device directly to your PC. If the issue returns, you may need to use the external USB 2.0 hub as a temporary workaround. Then, consult your computer manufacturer for any updates for your USB chipset.
If "Unknown Device" appears when connecting your device to more than 1 known-good computer, with more than 1 known-good USB cable, your device might need service. Learn more about your service options.
If the device is not recognized while in Recovery Mode
Your device might not be recognized while in recovery mode. This can happen during an update or restore of your device. Typically, when your device is in recovery mode, it will show the "Connect to iTunes" logo on its display. If iTunes does not recognize the device when in this state:
Windows Vista or Windows 7:
Click Start.
In the dialog, type devmgmt.msc.
Press Return.
If Windows needs your permission to continue, click "Continue".
Click the disclosure triangle () (for Windows 7 and 8) next to Imaging Devices, Other Devices, Portable Devices, and Universal Serial Bus Controllers to expand these sections.
Check these sections for one or more entries called Apple Mobile Device (Recovery Mode). These entries might or might not have exclamation marks on them.
If you see only one "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver" entry that has no errors on it:
Find out if the computer has USB 3.0 ports. Within Universal Serial Bus Controllers, locate any entries containing "USB 3.0" or "SuperSpeed USB" in the title. If these are listed, you have USB 3.0.If you have USB 3.0:
Try to connect the device to a different USB port. Try each port until the device is recognized. Some computers will have dedicated USB 2.0 and 3.0 ports. If so, a USB 2.0 port might resolve the issue.
Refer to your computer manufacturer for updates to the USB 3.0 chipset drivers.
If the issue persists, continue to "Check for third-party software conflicts."
If you do not have USB 3.0
Continue to "Check for third-party software conflicts."
If you see two "Apple Mobile Device (Recovery Mode)" entries with exclamation marks on them:
Open the Device Manager and connect your device.
Click the View menu.
Select "Devices by connection."
Locate the erroneous "Apple Mobile Device (Recovery Mode)" entries. You might need to expand all sections of the Device Manager to see them.
Directly above these entries will be a USB Composite Device entry.

Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8:
Right-click the parent USB Composite Device entry.
Choose Update Driver Software from the shortcut menu.
Click "Browse my computer for driver software".
Click "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer".
Click the Have Disk button.
In the "Install from Disk" dialog, click the Browse button.

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers.
Double-click the "usbaapl" file. (This file will be called "usbaapl64" if you have a 64-bit version of Windows. If you don't see "usbaapl64" here, or if there is no Drivers folder, look in C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers. instead).
Click OK in the "Install from Disk" dialog.
Click Next and finish the driver-installation steps.
Open iTunes to verify that the device is recognized properly, and continue restoring your device.
Check for third-party software conflicts
Certain phone and cellular device connectivity software from vendors such as Samsung, Nokia, Bora, Novatel, Sony, Android, LG, Sierra, Huawei, Pantech, or Motorola might cause your device not to be recognized. If you have such software on your computer:
Uninstall the phone or cellular connectivity software temporarily, and test. Contact the manufacturer of this software for assistance in doing this. If you use the third-party phone or cellular device for your Internet connection, try connecting to an alternate network using Wi-Fi or Ethernet.
Remove iTunes and all related Apple software.
Remove and reinstall iTunes and related software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
After reinstalling iTunes, test the device.
If you still need your third-party phone or cellular connectivity software that was removed, reinstall this software and test your device to ensure it still functions with iTunes. Contact the vendor of your phone connectivity software if the issue returns.
Also, third-party security software might conflict with iOS devices connecting to iTunes. Follow this article to troubleshoot issues that might be caused by your security software. After resolving any issues that you might have with your security software, you might need to try the steps in this article again.
I hope this information helps ....
