Not sure what I need to do to set up my Airport Express

I want to print wirelessly using airport express. I have done it in the past but can't seem to set things up correctly since we moved house.
The airport express is from about 2005 or 6 I think. I have a MacBook running snowleopard. I have plugged the airport express into the plug socket but when I open airport utility it says Airport Utility was unable to find any wireless devices. The airport express is showing a flashing orange light. In case it is relevant I have a BT home hub for my wireless internet.
Please can someone help as I seem to be getting nowhere fast!

I suggest that you first perform a "factory default" reset on your 802.11b/g AirPort Express Base Station (AX). This will get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration and make it easier to set up for your network.
After it resets, it should be broadcasting its own wireless network with a name of something like: Apple Network NNNNNN. First, be sure to connect to this wireless network, and then,try accessing it with the AirPort Utility.
Once you can access it with the utility, you will want to configure it to "Join a wireless network." In this case, it would be the network created by the BT router.

In Safari, control-click the link and choose Download Linked File. Alternatively, click on the address bar when it's displaying the MP3's URL and press the Option and Return keys simultaneously.

After logging into my schools website the pop up message displays '''OverLIB 4.10 or later is required for CSS style plug in'''. After clicking on the ok button it displays the website that I want. Then anytime I go into another area within that same website the pop message displays.

This could be caused by a problem with a file in Firefox's cache. To clear cached files:
orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Offline Storage : "Clear Now"
Then reload the page. If the message is gone, try a few additional pages to confirm that the problem is resolved before posting back.
Any luck?

It sounds like it's gone into recovery mode. How were you trying to update it, directly on it of via your computer's iTunes ? If directly on it then have you tried conencting it to your computer's iTunes ?

After restoring to factory settings/new iPod you will then have to restore from backup
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

My Airport wireless is working for my two MacBook Pros and my daughter's iPod, but our iPad, Iphone and other iPod all say they need to set up an Airport Base Station but do not have the proper software. I'm not sure what to do to remedy this situation.

This might sound like a silly question, but are you sure the iOS devices (iPhone, iPad, iPod touch etc.) are still trying to connect to the same network from your own Airport router, as the MacBook Pros are? If you tap Settings on them, is the network name next to where it says Wi-Fi, the right one?
I've got a weird feeling that either in the past couple of days, a neighbour got an Airport device and hasn't set it up yet (causing your iOS devices to try to help), or that perhaps there's an issue with your Airport router and they're noticing it and trying to help out, while for whatever reason, Airport Utility isn't opening itself on the MacBook Pros like it normally should if there's a problem.
If you open Airport Utility on one of the MacBook Pros, does it report any problems with your Airport device, and can you view/edit the settings on it?

Use Lion Recovery to repair the startup disk if necessary, or reinstall the Mac OS X.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If you haven't done so already you need to migrate your mail account to iCloud first and do so IMMEDIATELY at the website Move
Then
Delete your mail account from Mail preferences and set it up again using the Mail Server Information.
Some users have apparently encountered issues using this information in pre-Lion set ups (I haven't), Roger Wilmut has kindly provided instructions for those who find themselves with this problem.

I am not sure what year my Macbook Pro is but it has System Version: Mac OS X 10.6.8 (10K549), will I be able to download Mountain Lion or will I need to upgrade first?

Not sure what drivers I need.

Not sure what drivers I need.5 I have what I believe to be a Sound Blaster X-Fi MB card, and I'm not sure what drivers I need to install. The reason I believe it to be an X-Fi MB is because ) I am running Sound Blaster's X-Fi software package by default and have not changed anything on the computer, and 2) it is obviously built into the motherboard since it does not have its own card slot. However, when I go into device manger, the only thing that regesters under audio devices is ATI HDMI audio (I have an ATI Radeon HD 4850 that came with my Gateway FX6800) and Realtek High Definition Audio. I don't know why my actual sound card doesn't register as what it is to my computer, but it is a model with six 3.5 mm audio jacks, and it is in the rear of the computer, while every non-MB version I've ever seen has only 5 or less. This is confusing the holy crap out of me, since I don't know what drivers I should download. Is this something that Gateway has to update itself, or do I have to download the drivers for the audio card seperately? I'm very confused here, and I sure hope someone can [email protected]

Umm... yeah. The link you provided is pretty much useless to me. A 30 day trial for software I already have? All there is to that that I would actually want is the files for the drivers. The rest of what's on that page doesn't adress my current situation. Let me clarify WHAT I need. I need the DRIVERS. Not the updated software in a trial version. Also, if you were referring to the driver below it... that's a no-go either. I did mention this is a legacy (motherboard) sound card, did I not? And that it came with the FX6800? If you would've done your research, you'd realize that the link you gave me is truly useless, since I cannot reinstall the X-Fi MB software, it was pre-installed WITH the computer. But is there anyway to just download the driver only and somehow reinitialize the software with just a reboot? If not, then this link is rubbish. I should, perhaps, also clarify WHY I want the updated drivers. I am an avid fan of Sony ACID, and I have an official copy that I paid for. And whenever I use ACID, the drum kits never work properly. They'll sound like an organ, or a piano, or whatever, but they won't sound like drums. What can I do to fix this? Will updating to newer drivers solve this problem at all? I would assume that the only part of the computer that can adress this issue IS the sound card, and that's why I want an updated driver set. So to be frank, what I really need is a solution to this problem; if you could give me an answer, I would be eternally gratefull to [email protected]
