If you're on the company network, you should ask the network administrator for help.

I have an old Airport Express I want to use to extend WiFI (which is best Airport Express or Extreme) and to have a HD for storing Itunes connected to the old Airport as well. I would also like to have the new Airport hardwired to my Mac (desktop)

I am willing to buy a new Airport Express or Extreme so I can get at least one LAN port - but only if I can use that LAN port to connect to my MAC (desktop) so it doenst have to get internet via the WiFi- AND so I can set it up as its own hot spot. I think I saw that was possible?? That way my guest network would be separate from my home Network. Just trying to get the best layout. I have cable modem to old Airport now and USB from it to printer.
Maybe a new Airport - again USB to printer and LAN to MAC(?) then old Airport elsewhere in the house to extend the signal and use USB off it to hard drive to store Itunes? Would LOVE to have it there to use for Airplay etc- Is that possible- I have read many comments and still not sure if it is possible or not.
Baxically I need a simple solution to storing all my photos- music and movies (MAC only has 500GB) AND have a great back up; Currently have a 1TB drive as Time Machine - so could use that for back up- but running out of space on MAC for all the media I am saving. THANKS!!

You are asking several different questions. If you need to store your photos, music, and movies on an external volume, you certainly can. Any externally connected hard disk drive will work, connected either directly to your Mac or to your Time Capsule as a shared volume.
You should not rely upon using that as a backup device though. Although you certainly may use it for both purposes, it is a better idea to have dedicated backup devices for a variety of reasons not limited to redundancy. You would not want to simultaneously lose all your pictures as well as your backup. If they are all on the same device, that could happen. Furthermore, a backup cannot back up the volume on which it is running.
As for adding an Extreme or Express, using its LAN port for your iMac, and then enable Internet sharing so you can effectively use the iMac as a "hotspot", you can do that too, but I am unclear on what benefit you believe this arrangement would convey for you.
An Extreme's Guest network is separate from its Main network; that is the reason for having it.

IMac (on Ethernet) Can No Longer Stream to Airport Express (on WiFi)

After years of reliable service, all of a sudden I cannot stream music from iTunes on my iMac, via my Airport Express, to my stereo system.
First, a bit about my configuration:
   * iMac connected via Ethernet to a wireless router (D-Link DIR-655).
   * iMac Airport (WiFi) is turned off.
   * D-Link sets up a wireless network, and Airport Express joins the network.
   * Airport Express does not set up its own network, it's simply a client of the existing D-Link wireless network.
   * iTunes "sees" the Airport Express, and can stream audio via AirPlay.
   * iPad also joins the wireless network, and also can stream to the Airport Express via AirPlay.
   * iMac running 10.6.8, with all software updates applied.
   * Airport Express running latest firmware (7.6.1).
Well, that was a few days ago, when "it just worked". But for some unknown reason iTunes could no longer "see" the Airport Express.
So I took my Airport Express to the Apple Store and they did a Factory Reset, but it did not solve the problem. I figured my rather old Airport Express was failing, so today I bought a new one. The symptoms have changed a bit, but even after spending an hour on the phone with AppleCare, it doesn't work properly.
Now, the only way the iMac can stream to the Airport Express is if the iMac also joins the wireless network. In fact, now with Airport turned OFF on the iMac, the Airport Utility cannot see the Airport Express. But here's another weird thing: when I use the IP address of the Airport Express, the Airport Utility CAN connect with and manage the Airport Express, even with Airport turned OFF on the iMac!
I should also mention, the iPad has no issues whatsoever connecting to the D-Link's wireless network and streaming music to the Airport Express.
This all seems like something might have changed on the D-Link wireless router. But for the life of me, I cannot figure out what setting(s) on the router might allow the iMac - over Ethernet - to stream audio to the Airport Express.
Another thing. When I have Airport turned on on the iMac, it can "see" and stream to the Airport Express, but the music has very frequent drop-outs. Could this be related to the fact that the iMac has two IP addresses (one on Ethernet, one on WiFi)?
My goal is to get things "back to normal", where I can turn off Airport on the iMac, and all LAN and WAN traffic from the iMac goes over Ethernet. I have a few questions (for now :-)
   * Since my iMac has two connections to my LAN using two IP addresses (Ethernet & WiFi), is that likely to cause any issues?
   * When two computers join the same wireless LAN, can they effectively talk directly to one another, or does the wireless router need to be involved every time one computer sends a TCP or UDP packet to the other?
   * Do routers (or the DIR-655 in particular) tend to have any firewalls or policies that control connections on the LAN between Ethernet and WiFi clients?
   * Since AirPlay uses TCP port 3689 and UDP port 5353, would the DIR-655 need any special configuration to "open these ports" so an Ethernet client can connect with a WiFi client?
So, any help would be most appreciated!
Thanks!
Jim

I am having a very similar issue. I use my Airport Express (AX) to stream music from the computers on my network to my stereo via Airplay. I have AX set up to wirelessly join my existing wireless network, which uses a D-Link DIR-655 router hooked to a Time Warner cable modem. I can succesfully connect all of my wireless devices via Airplay, through iTunes to my AX, including two laptops and an iPhone. However, my primary desktop PC, which does not have a wireless card is linked directly via ethernet cable to my D-Link router, and it is not able to see my AX. Similar to your case, I can see the Airport Express from my PC through my Airport Utility by directly typing in the IP address. Note that the AX set-up option to allow Ethernet clients is checked. I also noticed that my laptops will stop detecting AX if I directly connect them to my D-Link router via Ethernet and turn off their wireless cards. They will resume detecting AX when I turn their wireless connections back on. I have tried every conceivable setting of my D-Link router to no avail.

ITunes 10.6.3.25 on ethernet connection loses airport express speakers but iPhone 4 airplay works

Hi,
I have started experiencing a problem this past week (Aug 2012) that I see sometimes reported here. When I run iTunes 10.6.3.25 on a Win7 machine that is connected by ethernet to my router, the airport express speakers would regularly disappear. I can always connect to these airport express via airplay from my iPhone 4. In fact when the airplay speakers disappear from iTunes on the ethernet-connected machine, I can reliably make them reappear by turning on the Music app on the iPhone. But after a while the airplay speakers would disappear again. On a Win7 laptop connected via wifi to the network the same version of iTunes seems so far not to exhibit the same problem.
Has anyone discovered what the underlying problem is or found a solution?

I ran into the specific problem in another thread. There are more than 100 connections from the apple TV's to iTunes. You can do a netstat -a (windows or Mac), and verify the problem. iTunes is smart enough to stop allowing more than 100 connections but stupid to allow the ATV to create so many connections.
Now for what you really want! Set all of your ATVs to wifi only. Even setting the iTunes host to wifi might help also. I think that wifi is more unreliable, and forces connections to drop, keeping the count under 100.
I also turned off ip v6. That could help you also. I originally had problems on a Mac mini, and built a windows 7 box to try to fix the problem. The wifi trick worked on both platforms. Several of us have bug reports into apple. I have a wired house also, and am very angry to NEED to use slow wifi to overcome this problem. The ATV gen 3 has been able to keep up with 1080p over wifi, so it doesn't hurt too much. What really hurts is spending over 40 hours troubleshooting this bug.

Recently moved and installed ATT DLS - I use their wireless router and connectted my airport express - Now I'm getting the Blue ? on some images

Recently moved and installed ATT DLS - I use their wireless router and connectted my airport express - Now I'm getting the Blue ? on some images - and at times - videos don't load. I've increased / deleted Cache. Suggestions? Misconfig? Could it be possible my configuration from MacBook to router isn't correct?
Thanks!

JG,
Thanks for the info.
Couple of questions. I found an apple support document on this topic that opened with this line:
"AirPort Express and all AirPort Extreme base stations can use WDS. Earlier AirPort base stations can't."
If the TC is an airport extreme base station, why can't this work to extend the network? I think I misunderstand. Here is the full article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2044?viewlocale=en_US
If I buy a new airport extreme, set it to wireless-n only as my main router, am I correct that my existing time capsule could be used as a bridge if plugged in upstairs?
Final question (and that should do it), could I take this old airport express, plug it in upstairs using the ethernet connection, and just create a separate wireless network to use with a different name?
I'd like to keep one network if possible but just kicking around short term solutions.
Thanks again.

How to connect grace digital wifi radio receiver to airport express.

Hi,
I need to connect grace digital wifi radio receiver to airport express. The receiver works fine with belkin n150, however when connected to express as primary base station ( belkin switch off), it displays
"Default gateway.......
Port 80 not found. not connected"
The conneted type is dynamic wifi network (POE + ). The express is set in bridge mode and configured through ipad.

Hi,
Called up the apple support services on Dec 9, 2013 and was on line for almost 1 hour without a solution. However, received a call back from team in Singapore on the same day and commitment to revert on the issue within 24 hrs. Received a call within 24 hrs and the entire discussion came down to the point that I have to manually set the grace digital equipment.
I tried other options and eventually the simplest thing to do was to set the connection option to DHCP only and ignore the error.
Now its working fine..

I'm not see in my iPhone 4s in the wifi the setup airport express the only see the wifi connections and ask to join network I don't see the setup screen how I charge this in the wifi options

To administer the AirPort Express, you need to install the iOS version of the AirPort Utility. You can get it via the App Store app on your iPhone.

Yes, that's one of the things airplay is for...

Since updating ios7, my wifi still works thru airport express, but I cannot see airplay icon on my phone or iPad. Where did it go...how do I get it back?

HT1218 can I use the 7.3 firmware on my airport express?

can I use the 7.3 firmware on my airport express?
current version 6.3, but de airport express units are not "supported" by airport utility v6. seems that they like me to upgrade firmware?

Is it true that AIRPORT UTILITY V6 doesnt support this model?
Yes
However, you can use AirPort Utility 5.6 for Mac OS X Lion to configure the older Express.....and....your newer devices as well, so you might want to make that application your "go to" utility.
Keep both AirPort Utility 5.6 and 6.x on your Mac.

New iMac 5k won't connect using ethernet

I was in the process of transferring VMWare/Windows from my MacPro to my new 5k iMac. With VMWare help I started transferring a 25 GB file and noticed it was going to take quite a while wirelessly, so I connected both macs to my Actiontec modem/ router. The MacPro connected effortlessly, but the new iMac won't properly connect. In the Network box it says "Ethernet has a self assigned IP address and will not be able to connect to the internet". The connection shows a yellow dot. I tried manually assigning 192.168.1.6 (from the Actiontec log on page) and the Network page says connected (dot turns green), yet when I turn off wifi there is no connection. I've tried other options such as "using DCHP with manual address", but am unable to connect via ethernet cable.
A few days ago, when working with Apple support, I believe we did use ethernet successfully. Thoughts?

The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.
If you bought the product in the U.S. directly from Apple (not from a reseller), you have 14 days from the date of delivery in which to exchange or return it for a refund. In other countries, the return policy may be different. If you bought from a reseller, its return policy applies.

Using ethernet and wifi at same time

I just upgraded to Lion and now I can not access my WIFI print server at the same time I am connected to the ethernet using the wired cable. In Lepard it worked fine. To clarify, I use the ethernet cable for internet access and I use WIFI to print and access a network hard drive. When WIFI is off, the internet works fine, the moment I turn on the WIFI, the internet sonnections stops. Since October 2010, this connection has worked fine until Lion. I have a second IMac on Lepard and it also still works fine with both ethernet and wifi at the same time.

Try to swipe up and press play from control centre while in your game. This often works however with some games/app the developers have set to pause your music and after you swipe away control centre the music will stop.
Hope this helps!

Dell Venue Pro 11 w/Dock / Unable to concurrently use ethernet and wifi?

Does anyone know why you are unable to use the dock ethernet connection and the tablet's wifi connection at the same time?
I assume this is a limitation of the dock / tablet because if you hook a laptop up you can use the ethernet and wifi at the same time because they have different MAC addresses.
Thanks for any assistance you can provide....

Apple Mail won't save "Use Autodiscover service" with Exchange

Apple Mail is discovering the wrong servers when connecting to Exchange. I want to set it manually so I uncheck "Use Autodiscover service" and put in the correct servers. But when I quit and restart Mail, it automatically rechecks "Use Autodiscover service" and automatically picks up the wrong servers again. Can some one suggest why it won't save my setting and how to make the unchecked setting stay unchecked?

Well first, I'd recommend your IT folks configure Autodiscover to return the correct results ;-)
