My iphone 4 can't see my new Airport express

I got a new Airport Express this morning because my old wireless router died. I had no problems setting it up and getting my MacBook Pro and iPad to it, but my iPhone 4 cannot see it atall. Any suggestions?

Not sure what happened, but this issue resolved itself after I looked at all the settings in the Airport Utility on my MacBook Pro and reviewing the network System Preferences, but making no changes. Working great now.

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.

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!

HT4260 Can I use a new airport express to extend a network?

If I am using an AirPort Extreme as my main wifi, but it is in bridge mode because I already have another router setup in dhcp on my network, can I use an airport express to extend my network, but use it hard wired?

can I use an airport express to extend my network, but use it hard wired?
Yes, assuming that you are asking about a new Express, or the 802.11n version.
This is very easy to do with the Mountain Lion operating system that you have.
(The "roaming network" link above assumes that you are using the Leopard or Snow Leopard operating system...although the general information there is good).
Connect an Ethernet cable from one of the LAN <-> ports on the AirPort Extreme to the WAN "O" port on the AirPort Express.
Power up the AirPort Express and wait a full minute
Click the fan shaped AirPort icon at the top of the Mac's screen and look for the heading of New AirPort Base Station. Just below that, click directly on AirPort Express there
AirPort Setup will open automatically and take a minute to analyze your network and then announce that the Express will be setup to "extend" your AirPort Extreme network
Enter a device name for the Express and click Next
AirPort Setup will take another minute to configure the Express
When you see the message of Setup Complete, click Done
That's it.

Can't see my two Airport Express in the Admin Utility

I have a 12" PB and two Airport Extreme.
I am unable to see the two Airport Extreme stations through the Airport Admin Utility - but (here comes the strange part) - I see them both in my router's DHCP Active IP Table (freshly updated too).
Both base stations show a green light.
iTunes does not see any of them either...
Any idea what could be the problem? Do I have to 'free' some ports in the router for them to work?
Any hints appreciated!
Mario

I just tried something - in the Airport Admin Utility, instead of waiting for the base stations to show up, I clicked on 'Other' and entered the IP address. Well, I can edit/modify/reset both of them! This is driving me nuts. They seem to identify themselves fine on the network, but none seems to do the right thing! (I use one as my AirTunes, the other as my wireless printer connector).

Can't see my older AirPort Express anymore with iOS7 on iPad2

Just updated my iPad2 to iOS7 and cannot see my AirPort Express (2 of them) 802.11g with firmware 6.3 anymore. Any solution to that?

None at this time. The AirPort Utility that comes with or can be downloaded from Apple for iOS devices does NOT support 802.11g AirPort base stations. You will need to either use a Mac or PC to administer it or replace the 802.11g AirPort for either a 802.11n or 802.11ac model.

My computer cannot see my new airport express (Blinking Yellow)

OK, Ive been sitting here for an hour and this thing keeps blinking yellow..lol
I reset it twice but it will not appear in the airport setup utility.I am trying to extend my network from my Airport extreme in the basement.
Im sitting 2 feet away from it on my macbook pro
what gives?

I hope you are sitting 2 feet away from the Airport Extreme with the Airport Express plugged in near it along with your MacBook.
If not, you should do this all in the same room to begin with..
Next, it sounds like you need to reset the new Express.
Unplug it, push a clip into the reset button and while holding the reset button in, plug the Express back in and keep holding the clip in for at least 10 seconds.
Now, wait a minute or two and see if the Express shows back up in the Airport Utility window.
If it does, set it up again the way you want.

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 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

Help with new airport express on older MAC

How can I use a new airport express on an older MAC? I am not able to install the new airport utility software because the MAC software is too old. Can I install the airport software on my newer PC. Will the older MAC be able to fist it and use it with AirPlay?

You can run Airport Express on v10.4 or later.
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB321LL/A/AirPort-Express-AirTunes?mco=MTY3ODQ 5OTY
I use mine with two older laptops, one running Tiger, one running Leopard, as well as newer Macs running Snow Leopard.
Try installing the software from the CD. If there's a problem, you should see a dialog box.

My wireless iBookG4 sees my new Airport Express, but my PowerMac G5 won't!

My wireless iBookG4 sees my new Airport Express, but my PowerMac G5 won't!
I find this really strange. I have a cable modem coming in. There is an Airport Express hooked up to it. I use this to allow free movement about the house for my iBook, bhile my PowerMac g5 stays wired via ethernet.
Now I have purchased a second Airport Express for the living room, hooked up to BOSE speakers. The iBook sees the new Airport Express and can brpadcast iTues to it, no problem. The problem IS, I can't get the PowerMac to see the new Airport Express AT ALL--- it only sees the original one (the one that has the ethernet connected to it) PLUS--- the new Airport Express LCD flashes amber, not green... what is going on???

The new Express is not really on your network but is able to communicate with the laptop using Bonjour. Here's Apple's explanation for the 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.
Does your PowerMac G5 have an Airport card? If it does then it isn't associated with the new Airport. Both should be listed under the Airport menu but only one has a checkmark. If it doesn't have a card it won't be able to see the new Airport until you configure the new Airport as an extension of the first wireless network, called WDS or Wireless Distribution System.

I have just bought a new Airport express

I have just bought a new Airport express and I what to connect it to an exicting router. The router is not any Apple device. How can I expand my internet signals? My Mac can not find the new Airport express.

The AirPort Express cannot wirelessly extend the signal of a 3rd party router, if that is what you are asking about here.
If you can connect the AirPort Exrpress to a LAN <-> port on your router using a permanent wired Ethernet cable connection, the Express can be configured to provide additional wireless signal coverage that way.
Please clarify on what you are trying to accomplish. It would help if we knew what operating system your Mac was using as well.

My old Time capsule was not working well. I replaced it with a new Airport Extreme. Now I can see the other airport express stations. I tried resetting them, but it did not work. What do I do?

I replaced my old time capsule with a new airport extreme. I have 3 airport express stations that I have all around the house. (2 1st generation, 1 second generation). I can't see them with airport utility. I tried resetting, but no luck. Any suggestions?

Bring all the express to the same room as the mac you are using to setup the network..
One by one, plug them in and do full factory reset on them.. they should then show up in the Airport utility as Other Wi-Fi devices (1) and you can select them and continue the setup.
If that fails try using the airport utility on ipad or iphone as they are far less problematic than Yosemite in particular.
