MacBook cant find AirPort Express

Hi all,
Now i'm not sure if i should post this one under macbook section or not but i'll give it a shot here.
My problem is that suddenly the other day my macbook lost it's connection to my airport express. It could find all the other wireless networks in my buildig but not the airport. Now i have a laptop pc at home that finds it without any problems.
I've tried to reboot the airport a couple of times and even a hard reboot realeasing all its settings but still no luck in finding it, the pc does though.
I've also tried to change the settings on my macbook also so its doesn't have any pre-selected networks or anything but nothing. It's like it totally ignores to find just this airport express.
Since i've tried to disconnect, reboot, unplug everything a couple of times and every time successfully connected to the airport from my pc i kind of narrowed it down that its something with my macbook. But what? Since i see other networks?
I'm really stuck here so any help is really appreciated.

Duck,
I had similar issues a while back, and the solution was to upgrade the firmware (which I needed to do because a new iTunes version apparently needed new firmware). This fixed it for me.
If this is not your issue, Apple - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2278 - is suggesting maybe its a firewall issue. Read the attached link and see if that helps.

    I know you have an iPod touch, but all this does is let you access it via Safari, so it should work fine.
    I hope so!

  • Help...Now Imac cant find Airport Express

    I just bought my first Imac. I am using wireless internet via 2wire modem and router. I am trying to hook up airport express only to play itunes wirelessly. I can use the internet, but the Imac will recognize the airport express only by itself not as part of the other network. I have tried to restart and reset it. It will only work by itself and now with internet. any help?

    Try doing a hard reset of the AX.
    You can also try temporarily connecting the AX via Ethernet to your computer to configure the AX.

    You will need to install an App like Print Central on the iPad to try to print to the printer. It will allow you to print to most printers. Check with their support folks if you need more info.

  • MacBook Pro can't find AirPort Express base station

    My friend gave me an AirPort Express and I've set it up as a base station before. But the other day it was having problems and I reset it. Since then I have not been able to set up a base station. When I try to set up a new base station through the AirPort Setup Assistant I get the message "The AirPort Setup Assistant was unable to find your base station." I have tried soft resets, hard resets, and even factory resets, but I can't get the base station set up. Any suggestions?
    MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    I face a similar problem - the default name of the Airport Express is shown, Internet-Access works, but no way to administrate the Station - it is "not found", although it displays the name of it before. Frustration!

  • Macbook can't find airport express?

    just got the airport express today. plugged the ethernet cord from the modem to the airport. plugged it in. on the macbook running leopard, used airport utility and it can't seem to find the airport express? am i doin something wrong?

    Did you connect to the new AirPort Express Base Station's (AX) wireless network, through the AirPort menu, before attempting to access it with the AirPort Utility? If yes, and the utility still couldn't find it, I suggest that you (temporarily) connect you computer directly, using an Ethernet cable, to the AX's Ethernet port, and then, try accessing it with the AirPort Utility again.

  • MacBook Pro can't find Airport Express

    Just unwrapped an Airport Express in order to simply stream music from my MBPro through the AP Express connected to my amp. But the lap-top refuses to find it, what straightforward step am I missing?

    Pull down the AirPort menu bar item on your MBPro and look for a network with a name like "Apple Network xxxxxx", where the x's are the last part of the "AirPort ID" of the AirPort Express.  If you see that, select it, then use AirPort Utility to configure the AirPort Express.

  • Airport Tool cant find my Express.. HELP!

    Just mended an old b/g Airport Express because the power supply was broken.
    I set it up so it would extend my wireless network with the Airport Extreme and everything worked just fine. Later i tried to set up Airfoil but Airfoil could never find the Express.
    So i tried to update the firmware to the same as it was, I waited for it for 15 minutes but it was still saying something like "updating firmware" in the Airport Utility. So i disconnected the power and hoped I could try again. *BUT.... Now it never shows up in Airport Utility.*
    What can i do?

    Welcome to the discussion area, NikeNike!
    I suggest that you perform a Factory Default Reset on the AirPort Express and then try to update or reconfigure it.
    Power the Express off for at least 10 minutes
    Hold in the reset button and while you continue to hold the reset button in, plug the Express back in to power
    Keep holding the reset button until you see the amber light begin to blink more quickly, keep holding another second or two when you see this, and then release the reset button.
    Temporarily, connect an ethernet cable from your computer to the AirPort Express and then open AirPort Utility to update the firmware as needed or reconfigure the device. You can disconnect the ethernet cable after you have the Express updated with new settings and then move the Express to the location where it's needed.

  • Macbook cannot find airport extreme to configure it

    macbook pro cannot find airport extreme to configure it to join an existing network.

    By default, the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) will be broadcasting a wireless network with a name like, Apple Network NNNNNN. Be sure that the MBP is connected to this wireless network BEFORE trying to access with the AirPort Utility.
    If this still doesn't work, try temporarily connecting the AX directly to the MBP by Ethernet, and then, try accessing it with the AirPort Utility.

  • Macbook Pro / iTunes / Airport Express MISERY!!

    Yes, life used to be good. I got a new Macbook Pro to replace my PB Ti, got all my CDs loaded, got an airport express, began streaming, YES, life was good. Always careful about software, used just mainsteam apps, repaired permissions, etc, always careful.....
    Then, iTunes 7.0 was released........
    Tunes dropout, useless, so so so so disappointed.
    How do I convert back to previous version? Should I dump Apple, buy a PC?
    All this wonderful music, no way to hear....
    APPLE? ***? APPLE?

    It seems iTunes 7 uses IPv6 to stream to AirTunes.
    We have a similar problem here.
    We think that if the hardware you have inbetween your PC and AirTunes (e.g. your wireless router or an ethernet hub/switch) doesn't support IPv6, then you're stuffed. iTunes 7 will SEE your AirTunes but can't stream to it.
    We have spent money on a new router with IPv6. When it arrives, we'll plug it in and see what happens. We'll report back here.
    Things to try: If your PC/Mac has a wireless card, it ought to connect directly to AirTunes once it has associated itself with your wireless network, so, Wireless -> Wireless should always work. You may find that if you alter AirTunes so it creates a network rather is a client to an existing one this will provide a temporary fix. Of course, then you can't use the old wireless networ to surf the net etc. The problem seems to be if you're using a hardwired machine (Ethernet) or network (some hardwired link or router somewhere between you and AirTunes) and the network hardware doesn't support IPv6

    AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) or AirPort Express (AX)?
    Since your dual G5 is connected via Ethernet, you would need to connect the AX via Ethernet temporarily to the dual G5 to configure the AX. OR you could use your MacBook to configure the AX.

  • Just cant find apple express..

    ok its probably a simple solution really,
    i recently bought an airport express second hand of a mate,
    plugged it in, with the speakers and printer that i wanted to use with it (no router)
    installed the software.
    however, ive tried searching for the device can cant find it. Have tried resetting it and searching again but i still cant even find the device?
    any ideas?
    Cheers, Rob

    Are you searching for it within the airport utility? Can you see it in the available wifi access point connection list?
    Have you done a hard reset on it? You can find more details about how to do so here:
