My Apple Airport Express is blinking Amber and I cannot find it with the utility

Hi, had the same problem -
1) Connected AE to Time Capsule with Ethernet cable - Configured it - All worked fine
2) Removed Ethernet cable between AE og TC - All worked fine
3) Unpluged my AE from the socket outlet (power off) and pluged it inn where its supposed to be (2m from my Time Capsule)
4) Now Airport Utility do not find me AE (after all i reconfigured through the Etheret calbe) ????
A) Seems that Airport Utility are not able to "see" any wireless AE, only configurable by Ethernet Cable.
B) Seems that AE are not able to reconnect to configured network after a power loss.
This is a little bit ****** - older airport utility had none of the problems (A and B)

Printer working but airport express is blinking amber

Hi. I configured my computer to print using the airport express and it is printing. However, the airport express is blinking amber. Does anyone know why and how to fix it so it is green?
Thanks!!!

I have read other posts that say to go to airport admin utility and check what the issue is (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305101). the post says to install software that came with airport extreme - i don't have the airport extreme base station, only the airport express. so i'm not sure how to resolve the blinking amber light.
any help would be greatly appreciated!

Apple Airport Express Base Station 10/100BASE-T Ethernet WAN port with AirT

Hello fellow mac users, I am currently interested in getting the Apple Airport Express Base Station 10/100BASE-T Ethernet WAN port with AirTunes. However I already have a Linksys Wireless G with SpeedBooster router. Will the Airport Express with iTunes work with my router? Or will it work with any router? Thanks!
P.S. I want to get the Apple Airport Express Base Station 10/100BASE-T Ethernet WAN port with AirTunes

Yes, it should be possible. Since your iMac is connected via Ethernet to another router, you would have to reconfigure which Network Service you will be using on the iMac to switch between streaming and connecting to the Internet.
For example, I am assuming that the Built-in Ethernet service is currently at the top of the Port Configurations 0list within System Preferences > Network > Show = Network Port Configurations when your iMac is connected to the other router by Ethernet. You would then need to drag the AirPort item to the top of the list, and then, connect to the AirPort Express to stream.
The other option to avoid this is to configure the AirPort Express to join the wireless network created by the 2Wire router.

Use the Report a Problem link in the iTunes email receipt you received. Also in-app purchases can be made without the password if you bought the app within the last 15min. You should enable the in-app restriction in Settings.

I have 3 airport express units, an Ipod and a PC. I used the PC to set up an airTunes and the AirUtility can see all three of the airexpresses. The Ipod displays all of the airexpresses and I can pick any one to stream music to. PC won't - any ideas?

I have 3 airport express units, an Ipod and a Windows 7 PC. I used the PC to set up an iTunes/airTunes and the AirUtility can see all three of the expresses. The Ipod displays all of the expresses and I can pick any one to stream music to. The PC won't - any ideas? AirUtility tells me the 7.5.2 version of the firmware is the latest for the expresses and ITunes is also reporting that there are no upgrades available. I get an error code -15000 when I try to connect from the PC to one of the expresses.

How do I configure the AX to connect to the hub's wireless network? It will only scan one base station Airport Express at a time in the Airport Utility. I think what I am trying to do is use the hub as a router to the two AX's. Is there a specific way to set this up?
To set up the AX to join a wireless network as a "Wireless Client," using the AirPort Utility, either connect to the AX's wireless network or temporarily connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then, try these settings:
Launch the AirPort Utility.
Select the AX.
If not already connected to the AX's wireless network, go ahead and switch to it when prompted.
AirPort Utility > Select the AX > Manual Setup > AirPort > Wireless
Wireless Mode: Join a wireless network
Network Name: <type in the network name/SSID of the wireless network that you want to join or select it from the pop-up menu>
Wireless Security: None OR, if you are using security on your wireless network:
Wireless Security: <Select the appropriate level of security for the existing wireless network: WPA/WPA2 Personal | WPA2 Personal>
Password: <enter your wireless network security password>
Verify Password: <re-enter the same security password>
Click Update to write the new settings to the AX.

Airport Express is blinking amber

I just purchaed an AE to be able to put my printer on my network for printing from the numerous wireless devices we have (laptop, iPad, etc.) and after I connected the USB cable to it and plugged it in, it runs through setup and then flashes amber. I have reset the device, but it still is not showing up in airport utility. This is my first AE and I could use any and all help/suggestions with getting it set up.
I have an Airport Extreme base station that supplies wi-fi to the house, but it is all that shows up in Airport Utility.

Flashing amber
Startup is complete, but AirPort Express didn't get an IP connection. Depending on your setup, it may mean AirPort Express is out of network range, unplugged from Ethernet, lacks a path to the Internet (or local router), or that there's an issue with your Internet service provider.Note: If AirPort Express is set up as a wireless client and the network it's joining is protected by anaccess control list, AirPort Express must be in the ACL to get an IP connection.

My Airport Express is Blinking Amber (PLEASE HELP ME)

My airport express has been blinking amber for 3 days now. I am unable to connect to my wireless internet. For some reason i can still connect to my wireless internet via Xbox Live, and my internet works when i hook it directly into my computer. I am unable to "discover my wireless device", nor connect wirelessly. When i open up the airport utility i try to reconfigure my airport but it wont even let me connect to my own base station settings! i had my wireless internet hooked up previously and it worked great, but all of a sudden nothing is working! can you please give me any ideas you may have on how to fix this problem with the blinking amber light? ive tried reseting it numerous times and that does nothing. I read that if u hold the reset button while plugging the airport into the outlet it will reset. problem is that my airport wont reset!!!!!!please help im in college and i really need this wireless internet to start working again!

I am having almost exactly the same problem. I've tried the "factory reset" and was able to access and reconfigure the AirPort while it was connected directly to my MacBook Pro directly via an Ethernet cable, but once it reset itself it returned to the blinking amber light and stubbornly refuses to start up properly. AirPort Utility can't find the base station at all unless I do a factory reset and connect to the darn thing via Ethernet, and this isn't helping me at all since what I'm trying to do is share my internet connection via the AirPort with my other two Macs (a MacBook, and an iMac) so that both my office and my studio have internet connections, and the music collection on the iMac can be played over the house speakers via AirTunes.
I'm at the end of my rope here. Please help!

Is it possible to use Airport Express as a repeater and as an airplay device at the same time?

Hi,
I am using airplay with airport express stations in combination with conventional speakers for my home entertainment. Works great. Only thing is that I have a massive block of concrete in my flat. Is it possible to use one of my express stations as a repeater and at the same time as a streaming device for airplay? Thanks!

Sure it works only with apple routers? Cause than I could stop trying.
Yes, it's proprietary like everything else Apple. You could look at this:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B006BBYXPA/?tag=hydra0b-21&hvadid=9550946469&ref=asc_ df_B006BBYXPA
I have had great success installing these for BT Home Hubs and VM Superhubs.
@JoeMY - If it is "joined" to the FritzBox then it won't work, it only works with Apple routers connected via Ethernet or as the main router.

HT4628 Intermittent reception when streaming music via Airport Extreme and Airport Express to powered speakers. Is this a problem with the Extreme?

i get intermittent reception when I stream music from I Tunes via Airport Extreme and Airport Express to powered speakers. I Tunes continues to play uninterupted on the Mac. The problem does not lie with the Express as it occurs on both of my 2 Express at the same time. is this a problem with the Extreme?

Well, repying to my own post... Might have found the solution: I tried to do the same with a Macbook Pro 2010 using the very same setup. And it worked perfectly! No freeze, no nothing.
One explanation I see:
my iMac is dating back to May 2007, a Core 2 Duo 2,16Ghz with 2 Go of RAM.
So the computer's characteristics (or the Wifi component or the combination of all of this) might be not robust enough to allow streaming to those 2 devices...
Anyone's got anything to add?

I was chardged 100.00 on my itunes account and i cannot find out what the charge is for

help how can i find out why i was charged 100.00 on itunes

If you log into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option, you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it - if you click on that you should get a list of your purchases with the most recent above the list. I'm not sure if that list shows auto-renewing subscriptions (I don't have any so I can't check).
If you don't recognise the charge or can't find it then you can contact iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption.
If it doesn't appear on your iTunes account then you should also contact your card issuer.

When I click the restore down button the webpage is suddenly too wide and I cannot adjust it with the black arrows.

Two hours ago it was fine but now it won't let me adjust the width when I restore down pages. The width is currently half the screen, which is too large for what I'm doing. The black double-headed arrow appears, but it won't let me make the webpage thinner. I can make it wider, though, but that's not what I need.

There is a minimum width. Users have reported different values ranging from 374 to about 400 pixels. If you need a window smaller than the minimum width, please see these threads for how to override the built-in minimum with a smaller one:

Apple Airport Express is not recognized

I bought an Apple Airport Express to help boost and/ or extend my Wi-Fi. Prior to this, I was using a combination modem/ router that my ISP provided. Anyway, I attached an Ethernet cable from my router to the WAN port on the back of my Airport Express. As I understand, it should then appear in Airport Utility, but nothing shows up. The device just blinks amber green. The error message in Airport Utility says, “No Configured Airport Base Stations have been found.” My Internet is otherwise working fine, but Airport Utility fails to recognize it. What could be wrong?

Power up the Express for a few minutes
Hold in the reset button on the Express firmly for 10 seconds
Allow a full minute for the Express to restart
If Mavericks or the iOS devices cannot see the Express, you have a defective Express.
Note....the Express will not "boost" or "extend" the signal from your wireless router wirelessly....unless you have another Apple router.
