New Macbook does not recognise Airport Express

Hello -
My new Macbook doesn't seem to see my Airport express despite rebooting and resetting the Airport Extreme and Express hardware.
Can anyone advise me what might be going wrong please?
Many thanks..

Thank you. I have finally got Airport Utility to recognise the Airport Express.
In the next step (when i select the Airport Express station) it asks me if i want to switch wireless networks and issues the following warning:
Setting up this Apple wireless device requires switching wireless networks. Switching wireless networks may interrupt your connection to the Internet.
What do I do? I still want Airport Extreme to work. I just want Express to work with it.
I'd be very grateful if you could offer any advice.
Thanks...

  • MacBook does not see Airport Express

    My Macbook does not find my AX when I scan for it using Setup Manager. I used it fine about 3 mos ago just for iTunes, but now I need to use it as a real router and I can't even find it.
    I have reset, and reset while plugging in. Still nothing.
    Please help me get my AX working!
    Thanks
    Trevor
    ...ps I am good at giving stars etc

    So, I finally tried unplugging and resetting everything. I reset my cable modem, and unplugged my AX, and shut down my computer. Then I did everything fresh from the beginning, making sure that things were plugged in appropriately and it worked! Good news.
    But the place where I finally got it working wasn't where I wanted it. Yesterday after it had been working for about a week, I decided to move it to a more central location. ...now I am back where I was when I wrote the first question.
    I tried setting it up using the Airport Admin Utility and it responded while I was connected with the ethernet cable, but as when I moved the other end of the cable to the cable modem from my computer, nothing. So, I reset soft and hard. Nothing. Now it just flashes.
    Any other ideas? Once it is set, do I just move the ethernet cable like I did, or did I mess that part of it up?
    Thanks so much!

  • My new Macbook does not have a DVD slot. How do I install my Kodak printer now?

    I can't install my Kodak printer because my new Macbook does not have a DVD slot, as my old Macbook had.  How do I install the printer without a DVD?  My Kodak printer is not listed anywhere.

    Kodak printer model number?

  • ITunes 10 does not see Airport Express because port 3689 is unavailable

    I never had problems with iTunes 9 and Airport Express, but since iTunes 10 the following problem occurs regularly: iTunes starts, but does not "see" Airport Express (AE) as an external speaker. Sometimes it also loses connection after Windows hibernate mode, but that might be another issue.
    What I found out is that it is NOT a firewall issue, otherwise it would not work once in a while. What I saw, though, is that TCP port 3689 is sometimes stolen by other apps like Mozilla Thunderbird (TB). I.e. if Thunderbird is started BEFORE iTunes, it might use 3689 as a listening socket. iTunes then cannot see AE until I shut down TB and restart iTunes. This is very annoying and I only found out after many weeks when watching TCP live connections in my personal firewall software.
    Two questions arise:
    1) If listening port 3689 is unavailable, why does iTunes not show any error message? There is absolutely no indication as to why it does not find the external AE loudspeaker. BTW, the AE config programm can connect to the hardware easily.
    2) Even if port 3689 is blocked by another application, Airfoil for Windows works flawlessly with my AE. I can even tunnel iTunes through Airfoil and then listen to music in my living room, even though iTunes does not see AE. Why can a 3rd party program do something which iTunes can't?
    There must be a way to smarten up iTunes and fix this annoying bug.

  • Airfoil does not see airport express

    I am running 10.6.8  and airfoil does not see airport express liek it used to.  I am using an older version of airfoil.  Any one have any suggestions so I can get my music to work through my home speakers again?
    thanks

    Having a similar problem. iTunes 6.0.2 "sees" the Airport Express but cannot select the speakers associated with the Airport. iTunes 6.0.1 works on a Mac Mini with the same Express. Tried to re-load the system from the CDs but iTunes 6.0.2 still on

  • New macbook does not "see" my network, old macbook pro and iphones do...

    Yesterday I installed an upgrade to my airport extreme base station, now my macbook pro and the 2 iphones in the household see the wifi network but the other macbook does not. It does see the neighbors wifi networks and will see it when I connect via a cable to the base station by no wireless connection... help!

    I am having a similar problem. I have 19 iBooks in a classroom and, suddenly, none of them can see the AirPort Express network when they log on. Instead, the iBooks try to connect to a Windows-based school network. I have designated the AEBS network as the only preferred network but the iBooks NEVER try to connect to it first. However, if you click on the AirPort icon in the menu bar, the AEBS network is clearly visible and clicking on it immediately connects you to the AEBS network.
    When I originally set up the network in January, everything worked just fine. After the upgrade to AE Firmware 5.7 and various OS X 10.4.5 updates, everything has gone downhill. I had the dropped signal problem that so many have reported. I downgraded to AE Firmware 5.5.1 and followed J. Exby's procedure to upgrade the AEBS framework. That solved the dropped signal problem. But now my iBooks cannot find the AEBS network when they log in.
    I have set the AirPort Network Preferences to connect Automatically or to Preferred Networks with the same result. I have also set the option to "Keep looking for recent networks" and it never finds our AEBS network. Yet, the network can be accessed manually through the AirPort icon.
    BTW, I use one of the iBooks myself and it works perfectly and finds my preferred network in 2 other locations with non-AEBS networks. But it cannot see its own preferred network in school.
    This is really bugging my students--and me! Any suggestions? THANKS!

  • Verizon FIOS Network does not see Airport Express

    I recently upgraded to Verizon FIOs and they replaced my Airport Extreme Base Station an Actiontek wireless router. The new Router does not see my 2 Airport express wireless stations that I use for ITunes broadcasting. I tried a hard reset of the basestations with no luck.
    I also tried to connect the old Airport Express into the ActionTek. It sees the Express stations but will not connect to the internet (Although I set up for a DHCP connection, it dtill serches for a PPPoE host)
    The Verizon FIOs tech support is of no help.
    Please help!!!!!!!

    You will need to reconfigure your 2 AirPort Express (AX) to join the wireless network provided by the ActionTek.
    OR... If you want to replace the ActionTek with your AX, it appears that you will need to ask Verizon to change to the Ethernet MAC address from the MAC address of the ActionTek. Several people have reported that this is necessary.

  • New Macbook does not recognize Time Capsule backup from old macbook

    I just purchased a late 2013 13" macbook pro. I have a mid 2009 macbook pro running Mavericks. The new macbook will not recognize the time capsule backup from my old macbook. I am trying to migrate all data over, but the new mac does not ever acknowledge the external drive that contains the backup. I've tried two different external drives with the same result each time. Both computers are running Mavericks.

    Do you see the drive in Disk Utility?
    If yes, run Repair Permissions then restart the drive.
    1. Open Disk Utility in your Applications/Utility folder.
    2. Click on the First Aid tab and select Repair Permissions
    3. Click on the icon for your boot volume.
    4. Click the repair permissions button.
    In System Preferences > Time Machine can you select the old Time Machine with Select Disk?

  • NEW MACBOOK DOES NOT SUPPORT FINAL CUT EXPRESS!!!

    I just got my new MacBook 13" and tranferred all my files/applications from my older iMac (purchased 2004). When i try and open Final Cut Express, i receive the messege 'needs AGP graphics card'
    I dont have access to the internet and so cannot receive an upgrade on my F.C.E.... and i bought the laptop specifically to do my editing on the move!!!
    Its rediculous, why didnt the guy who i bought it from tell me, even tho he asked what i'd use it for and i told him!
    has anyone got any suggestions? anything at all!!
    (and ps: can you BUY such a card? if so, how much am i looking at? I seriously cannot afford anything after buying this laptop!)
    Im despairing and freaking out!
    Help!
    Thanks

    Lara,
    I don't use Final Cut Express, however, based on the information that you've provided, you're attempting to use a Power PC Based version of FCE, not Universal. Your iMac was most likely a G5? Your new MacBook is an Intel. Different processors.
    In order to use Final Cut Express on your MacBook, most likely you're going to need to upgrade FCE.
    To answer your last question, there's no option for purchasing a graphics card for the MacBook.

  • New Time Capsule does not see Airport express

    Hi
    We purchased A new Time Capsule but are not able to get the existing Airport Expresses to work with it. I tried looking for the AE with AIrport Utility and cant see them.
    Any idea how to get these to work with our new Time Capsule 3 TB? My Airpot Utility is Version 6.2
    Thanks
    Jenny

    I've reset one of them.  no luck
    Suggest that you try the following if you have not already done so.
    Power down the AirPort Express (AX) for a few moments
    Hold in the reset button and keep holding it in for 10-12 seconds while you plug the AX back in to power
    Release the reset button and allow 40-45 seconds for the AX to restart to a slow, blinking amber light
    Move the AX near your Time Capsule and computer
    Temporarily, connect a spare Ethernet cable from your computer to the AX
    Open AirPort Utility to configure the AX
    If you do not have a spare Ethernet cable handy, the AX is broadcasting a wireless signal with a name like Apple Network xxxxxx. You must first connect to this network from your computer.
    Then, open AirPort Utility. You may be asked to "switch" networks so that AirPort Utility can connect
    If you use the recommended Ethernet cable method, you can disconnect the Ethernet cable once the AX has been Updated. Then, move the AX to the desired location.
    Configure the second AX like you did the first.
    If you have the older "b/g" version of the Express devices, unfortunately you will need to configure the Time Capsule and Express devices to Participate in a WDS network if you need to enable the Ethernet ports on the AX devices.
    This will result in the Time Capsule being changed to a "g" wireless router, since WDS will only operate at "g" wireless speeds.

  • NEW MACBOOK AIR WONT RECOGNISE AIRPORT

    I have a new MacBook Air - have spent 7 hours trying to get it to recognise and link to my AIRPORT and still no joy . I have my old MACBOOK PRO linked up, no problems ,and I have mirrored all the settings but  the new one  still cant find the AIRPORT and on the odd occasion that it does , it eventually times out .
    Have re-set the AIRPORT and done everything that the Apple Tech Man advised but nothing doing - feel like throwing the stupid thing out of the window .
    Also, it wont recognise my external hard drive so all the back ups that I have made, cant be transferred to my new machine.
    The whole point of having two machines was to make sure I was never left in a position like I was the other week with a broken hard drive and no way of runnimg my business but I have been unable to do any work for over two weeks - Apple Support non existant .
    So any ideas would be very welcome . Thanks

    As no one replied I would just say that I now know that you dont need McAfee security on a MAC - if you do , AIRPORT and your MacBook wont connect using AIRPORT TIME CAPSULE so dont let the store you buy your MAC from sell you MCAFEE  - its not needed

  • Airport network form time capsule does not see airport express

    Hello,
    I'm rather new, bought my first apple few days ago, it's great. Have been throwing away years by using the blue screen machines
    I now have mac mini, today i bought time capsule and an airport express.
    time capsule to make my network and the airport express to connect my stereo.
    Important: I have no internet connection yet, it will be installed in 10 days.
    for now i use a mobile phone connection on the mac mini.
    I installed time capsule. time machine works and airport is in the air.
    With airport utility i can see the time capsule, but nothing else.
    it has been there for a short time, but then time capsule was gone.
    i can not find the utility to start installing airport express all over. Maybe i gave the wrong WPA2 password with the first install, but can not find the software to try again.
    I placed the a.expr within 1 meter of time capsule for this test.
    led of time capsule is green, led of a.expr is amber blinking.
    I did a reset of the a.express, no response.
    I downloaded the latest a.express client, no difference.
    airport is still on. it does not see the a.express.
    how to proceed?
    Is it only possible ONCE to setup a.express the right way? I remember answering questions which i can not find anymore.
    Sorry for the long story,
    hope you can help,
    Rik

    oh oh oh oh........ :O
    Found it.... before i connected the a.express with time capsule by a wire....does not help!
    Solution is to make this wire connection between a.express and mac, then it's possible to reconfigure.
    After this wire everything worked in 5 minutes.
    Anyway.... thanks for reading...

  • Windows xp does not see airport express

    I run an airport express as a base station in my apartment which works fine both for my iMac and my Palm pda. But a friend is visiting me presently, and her windows laptop, running XP, does not see my wifi station, although it sees others in the area. I tried removing security but that made no difference.
    Is there perhaps was something that had to be ticked in the airport base station setup to enable Windows laptops to see Apple wifi? As for example when I send attachments in Apple Mail I have to tick a box to make them Windows-friendly.

    I use Airport Express... two Macs and another laptop running Win XP and couldn't get the Win to see the network until I changed to a different card, a D-Link Airplus. I think it was all of $19.95 and works like a charm...
    Also, in Airport Admin Utility/Network, make sure you have:
    Distribute IP addresses checked and where it says; Share a single IP address using DHCP and NAT, click the pop up menu and select: Use 10.0.1.1 addressing.
    Also, her Win might be picking up interference your iMac or Palm doesn't... try a different channel:
    By default, the AirPort software automatically selects the best available channel when the base station is plugged in. If your base station is experiencing interference, try changing the channel it uses.
    To select a different channel:
    Open AirPort Admin Utility, located in Applications/Utilities.
    Select your base station and click Configure.
    Enter the base station password if necessary.
    Click AirPort, and then choose a new channel from the Channel pop-up menu.

  • Powerbook Would Connect To Internet, New Macbook Will Not Using Airport....

    I purchased a new macbook yesterday and i am having problems connecting to the internet using airport and my belkin wireless router. Whenever i try and connect to the router I get a message saying it is not possible.
    My old Powerbook G4 still connects using the same router and airport but the new macbook will only connect via an ethernet cable, I have tried ringing belkin support who do not seem able to help me.
    Does anyone have any ideas to help me please?
    Thanks in advance for your help........

    I had the exact same problem yesterday, and I called Apple support. I had to download a software update (security and OS), and after that, it worked. Some people have suggested trying putting a $ sign before the Belkin password. It didn't work for me, but it might be worth a try. My macbook arrived yesterday and I've had problems with this and the keychain thing (I'm totally new to the Mac), and am still having problems with that. So I'll probably be calling support again today unless I can find a solution to that problem here on the forum.
    Good luck with yours, I hope you get it fixed

  • My New MacBook does not charge the battery at all

    Initially, it stayed at 65% with the exteranl power connected all the time. Then it stayed at 0% after I used it without external power. Now it definitly does not start if no external power attached, and sometimes does not start even with exteranl power attached - I can only get it started by taking out the battery, putting it back and plugging in the exteranl power. And the cutomer service ***** - I am retuning it for sure, wasted too much of my time.
    MacBook   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Well, I did want to exchange it initially, but the process of getting Apple to admoit there is something wrong with this BRAND NEW system was too painful for me. I never had a similar experience before. Yesterday, after spending almst half day on the phone, I finally got a technitian to admit that the bettery was bad, but the customer return department already closed. (I called both of them a number of times and experienced serveral transfering back and forth, and cutting off). What really pi**ed me off completely is that this morning when I called the custermer return again, the guy STILL transfered me to the tech support WITHOUT listening to me and WITHOUT my permission. Maybe the Apple product IS really that great and worth being abused and treated badly for, but I have never had such a bad experience in my life before, and I do not want to spend a premium price for a system comes brocken and needs half a month to get it "repaired", not mentioning wasting my warrenty on it. So I am going to stay away from Apple's product till they really know how to treat their customers. Before then, I will just return everything they sent me and let my credit company, American Express, a company really stands behand their customers, to deal with them and get my money back.
    Ironically, I am the lead quality and reliability engineer who qulified the Intel GMCH for Apple...
