My computer can not find my new airport express?

I have my airport express connected via the ethernet, downloaded the utility folder but the light continues to flash amber and when I open the airprot utility it cannot find the airport. It is plugged in and right beside me so it is not a range issue. I have never had problems with past airports. Is it faulty?
Thanks

  • Computer can not find the wifi internet

    Goodmorning,
    I have a mac book pro (with lion) and wifi internet at home. All of a sudden my computer can not find my network although it is available and working as an i pad and a mobile are working via this wifi network.
    I tried 'create a network' and 'join other network' but it looks like the computer can not find the wifi network. My computer has internet access via cable, but just by plugging in the cable wihtout changing the settings (switching off the wifi).
    Any idea what to do ?
    Thanks

    The Mac on cable uses Ethernet. Wi-Fi uses AirPort. Try and delete your Airport setting and re-enter your configurations again.

    You do have iTunes installed right?

    Hi, ImTiffanyA. 
    The most common cause for this issue would be media present that is purchased with another Apple ID.  The article below will walk you through the process of verifying if that is the case or correcting the issue if not.

  • HT203167 i tried downloading an album - my itunes locked up, in purchases on itunes online it says it downloaded - how do i re-download to the same computer - can not find an option to do that?

    Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the corrupt tracks from the music section of your iTunes library, close & then reopen iTunes, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
    While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unchecked. This seems to help with partial downloads...
    If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the "Report a problem" links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

  • Using my Actiontec modem's wifi, it doesn't find my new airport express.  When I use the new airport express network I created error message says ip address is wrong.  Help setting this new airport express up

    Using my Actiontec modem's wifi, it doesn't find my new airport express.  Using the new airport express network I just set up it says the ip address is invalid.  What can I do to overcome this blinking amber light and error messages?

    You need to begin by configuring the AEX to Join an existing network (Bridge Mode.) You can then connect to it using Wi-Fi, but the AEX will not extend your existing network.
    If you can connect the AEX to your existing router using Ethernet, then you could use it to Create a new network. Otherwise, if you want to extend your existing network you will need to get a Wireless Access Point - WAP - from a non-Apple product like D-Link.

  • Can not connect to old airport express

    I can not connect to old airport express with new mountian lion and airport utility?

    You will need to install AirPort Utility 5.6 on Mountain Lion.  This article will tell you how:

  • I have the airport express as router can I buy the new airport express and use my old airport to extend my net?

    I have the airport express as router can I buy the new airport express and extend my net?

    Things can get confusing pretty quickly since there are 3 different versions of the AirPort Express.
    If by "old", you mean you have Model No A1084 or A1088 AirPort Express (look at the label on the side of the device for the Model No), it cannot be used with the "Extend a wireless network" feature of other newer Apple routers.
    If your AirPort Extreme is "square" shaped with rounded corners, then the "old" AirPort Express will not work with your AirPort Extreme using the "Extend a wireless network" settings.
    You could use a "previous version" AirPort Express, Model No A1264 to "Extend", or the "new" AirPort Express, Model No A1392, for that purpose.
    If your AirPort Extreme is a simultaneous dual band product, then the "new" Express would be able to "extend" both bands.  The "previous" AirPort Express (Model A1264) would be able to extend only one band, since it is not a dual band device.

  • Airport Utility can not see my 2 airport express.

    It does see my airport extreme but it has stopped seeing the 2 express stations.  I have had this set up for years and play iTunes to stereo systems in 2 different rooms in the house.  But it just crashed and lost the connections to all three base stations.  I have been able to reset the Airport Extreme but Airport utility now will not find the 2 Airport Express units that I have.  These units are 802.11g capatible.

    I have been able to reset the Airport Extreme but Airport utility now will not find the 2 Airport Express units that I have.
    Suggest that you perform a Factory Default Reset on each AirPort Express (AX) and then reconfigure them to "join" the wireless network that is being provided by the AirPort Extreme.
    Power down the AX for a moment
    Hold in the reset button and keep holding the reset button in while you plug the AX back in to power
    Release the reset button 8-10 seconds after you plug the AX in to power
    Allow 40-45 seconds for the AX to restart back to a slow, blinking amber light
    At this point, the AX is providing a wireless signal with a name like Apple Network xxxxxx. You must log on and connect to this network (no password is required) first, then open AirPort Utility, select the AX and click Continue to follow the guided setup.
    You also have the option of configuring using Ethernet by temporarily connecting an Ethernet cable from your PC to the AirPort Express if you do not want to configure it using wireless.

  • My computer can not find the airport device

    I think I have tried everything, but my computer does not find the device in utilitys. The problem I have is that I-tunes does not find the speaker that is connected hvis mye airport express. But sometimes it works...
    I have connected express to broadband and it is lighting green (my Zeppelin is working just fine with it). But when I start utilitys, does it not find the device.
    What options do I have, what can I do different?
    Thanks for all help I can get :-)
    Mads

    Hello
    We still have the same problem...
    Is there anyone out there who can help?
    Thanks

  • Computer can not find 6310 scanner on network

    6310 all in one working fine both printing and scanning then all of a sudden Photo smart can not find the scanner on the network. The printer continues to work fine. How can I get both of my network computers to fing the scanner ?

    Sorry for not getting back. I tried all the suggestions and could not see the server. It was not showing up in the ipconfig /all except when I queried at the server. I could not get a successful ping from the client either.
    However, a little digging, and some conversations with prior admins of the domain, I have determined there was no real domain. The 2003 server was there in name only, the client pc's were just doing their own thing and just using shared folders in the server.
    The domain controller was a Qwest (telephone company internet) modem and still is because the guy who programed it will not give me the password until we can meet and he can see what I am trying to do --  go figure that one.
    However, all that being said I was able to change one client pc's hosts file and add the server static ip and name and then like magic the "//server2012/connect" worked just as advertised. So I connect that pc, a user for it and the server
    is acting just as it should for that pc, the old server and itself under the right domain name.
    I still can not get to the outside world with remote web connect as the Qwest Modem is blocking the connection; my guess is the right ports are not forwarded. My solution seems to be getting access to the modem and transferring the DNS, and probably the
    DHCP, control from it to the server 2012.
    So I appreciate the help so far, but I feel I can not really ask for more help until I get control of the whole network and perform some more diagnostics. Should I close this question and open a new one in the future when I have one?
    Thanks for all the input so far, though, Ed

  • Airport utility not reading my new airport express

    Hopefully someone out there can guide me...
    I purchased an airport express yesterday. I want to extend my network I have an AEBS.
    My airport utility, when it scans can not find my express so I can not configure it. I reset everything multiple times.
    Also I purchased the express because I wanted to extend my network, and then use a hardline ethernet cable from the express to give internet service to my powerbook g4. is this possible? the sales guys at the apple store could not give me a hard answer has anyone tried it?
    thanks

    Same problem : the Airport Utility did not show the AX after installing Leopard.
    It is weekend: I figured it out
    Actually I got 2 Airport extremes( one old, one new) and two AX base stations (one old, one new):
    I disconnected the router and the two basestations Extreme.
    I did a reset on the AX: , waited for one hour, recommended less
    I connected only my new AX , restarted my Mac Book Pro, started AirportUtilty and the AX showed up suddenly.
    Then I connected router and my both extremes and they showed also up in Airport Utilty
    I followed the instructions:
    I selected my ax : chose continue, chose :join existing network: then I put the name of my existing extreme network and password, WEP 2 etc:
    Then it said : waiting to intialize the ax:
    (this failed many times in former attempts!!!)
    This time it worked. no flashing amber anymore: but a green light
    Later I did not have problems doing the same for my 5 year old other AX.
    What did the trick? I don't know
    Posibilities : Waiting for one hour, shut off everything: router ,mac, extremes?
    Why did my AX suddenly show up? Starting first with only the AX plugged in ?
    All my personal guesses and answers reading posts that it had to do with Leopard, Firewall settings or putting a $ sign before typing password , or WEP2 seem to be irrelevant.
    Waiting a while after a reset is recommended by many people: I don´t know if it is necessary or not: maybe not!?
    Tell me if this works for you

  • AirPort Express - Can not connect to "extended" AirPort Express

    Two trips to the Genius Bar tell me that I should be able to Extend my network from a new AirPort Express (n/g/b) to an older AirPort Express (b/g) using the "extend network feature". The two devices are communicating (both lights are green and the wireless channel will change on the remote device if I change it at the base station), but my MBP Core Duo 15" seems to only be connecting to the AirPort Express Base Station (n/g/b) and not to the Remote "extended" AirPort Express (b/g).
    This forum seems to indicate that you can only use WDS between the newer AEX (n) and the older AEX (b/g) but the folks at the Apple Store have told me twice now not to use WDS. They said that as long as the two devices have green lights that it is working, but when I click on the Airport Symbol up in the menu bar w/the Option key it tells me the MAC address of the base station only - and when I get very far from the base station, the signal drops out even though the remote AEX is near by.
    I did try setting it up using WDS and that works fine, just very slow.
    Anyone know if there's a way to be sure that my MBP connects to the remote (extended) AirPort Express?

    This forum seems to indicate that you can only use WDS between the newer AEX (n) and the older AEX (b/g)
    This is correct....since the older b/g Express does not even have a setting to "extend a wireless network".
    If you require confirmation, open AirPort Utility, select the b/g Express, click Manual Setup
    Click the Wireless tab below the row of icons
    Now look at the available settings for Wireless Mode.
    "Extend a wireless network" is not there.
    but the folks at the Apple Store have told me twice now not to use WDS.
    They are likely telling you not to use it because the performance on your network will drop dramatically if you do use WDS. Or, they mean well, but they are just wrong on this subject. Here's why:
    The only way that you can use an older "g" and newer "n" device together to provide more wireless coverage is to configure both devices for WDS. It's a Catch 22.
    WDS operates only at "g" wireless levels. So when you configure the newer "n" Express to operate as part of the WDS (which you must), it becomes a "g" wireless device. You lose any "n" capability on the network
    Worse still, every "remote" or "relay" in a WDS setup cuts the bandwidth of the entire network in half...50%. That's huge. In effect, with WDS, you may have a bit more wireless coverage, but you will have a "g" wireless network that operates at half speed.
    but when I click on the Airport Symbol w/the Option key it tells me the MAC address of the base station only - and when I get very far from the base station, the signal drops out even though the remote AEX is near by.
    The remote AX is not providing any additional wireless coverage.
    They said that as long as the two devices have green lights that it is working
    Nope, as you can tell by the fact that your "remote" is not providing any additonal wireless coverage.
    Anyone know if there's a way to be sure that my MBP connects to the remote (extended) AirPort Express?
    Your only option, (unless you add more hardware):
    Configure both AX devices to "Participate in a WDS network" setting one up as a "main" and the other a "remote" . The big downside, as mentioned previously,  is that you will have a "g" wireless network running at half speed.

  • Can't set up new Airport Express

    My old Airport Express dies so I buy a new one. I use the Airport just for connecting to my stereo for itunes etc. Plug it in right by the computer and get the flashing amber light. Go to the set up assistant and choose 'Set up a new Airport Base Station' and get the message 'No new Airport networks were found'.
    I also have a separate Netgear network to connect with my laptop. This set up is connected to the cable box then to the computer via ethernet. No problem with this.
    The problem seems to be that the old and/or new Airport Express station does not connect with the Airport Extreme card in the computer. At least it seems the computer doesn't see the Airport Express even though it is right in front of the computer. When airport is on the icon shows strong broadcast signal.
    Anyone have a clue?

    Thanks for suggestion - but. Connecting direct via ethernet gives exactly the same results. Computer doesn't see Express therefore there is nothing to configure. I am at a total loss and about to give up. Maybe there is another product that would be compatible with Mac that I could try. I guess it is also possible that the new unit is also bad.
    I have a love/hate relationship with computers and right now the hate side is taking over. I hate it when things don't work.

  • Can't configure a new Airport Express or my old one

    Hi,
    I just purchased a new Airport Extreme today and I cannot get it set up.  I keep getting an error message that states "An Error Occured While Reading The Configuration"(Make sure your Apple Wi-Fi base station is plugged in and in range of your computer or connected via Ethernet and try again. -5).  It also gives me the same error message when I try to re-configure my old Airport Express.  I've tried numerous re-sets and have tried connecting it to my Airport Extreme Base Station(802.11n) via ethernet to no avail.  I also tried to install a firmware update on my new Airport Express but that failed shortly after the download.  I was hoping the firmware update might fix the configuration error.  I use the Airport Express's to extend my network and have successfully set these up before so I don't know what the problem is.  I'm using an iMac 3.06, on OS 10.7.1, which is connected to my AEBS via ethernet.
    Thanks!
