Pandora through iPhone or MacBook to Airport Express

Does anyone know if it is possible to stream music wirelessly from the Pandora web site or iPhone to my Airport Express. I currently have it set up with my Airport Extreme so that I can stream music from iTunes, but don't know how to do it without iTunes.

You cannot do it from the iPhone.

ATV2 + iPhone 4 + MacBook Pro + Airport Express

Hi,
I have ATV2, an iPhone 4 (iOS 4.2.1), a MacBook Pro and Airport Express. I have no internet access (dsl or the like) at home.
How can I connect my iPhone 4 to ATV2 and stream videos etc. using Air Play? Do I have to set up a home network first (using my MacBook and Airport Express), and if yes how I can I do that without having internet access?
Please help, I am getting desparate...
Thank you, Nick

You don't need an internet connection to create a wifi network using your AirPort Express and the AirPort Utility (Applications/Utilities/AirPort Utility). Once it's setup, devices that have joined that network will see each other and work with AirPlay but won't be able to access the internet, at least not through wifi.

How can i print my files from mi iphone 5 throught the airport express?

How can i print my files from mi iphone 5 throught the airport express?? i have the last iOS version installed and also the last firmware version of the printer. the printer is already connected to the USB airport express and when i look for printers in airprinter there is no printer found. i have an HP LASERJET P1606dn(i think that is supported by the airprinter).

In order to function with AirPrint, a printer must connect to the network wirelessly.
Even if you have an AirPrint compatible printer, iOS devices will not be able to print to the printer when it is connected via USB.
So, you have two options:
1) Reconfigure the printer to connect to the network using wireless only and the iOS devices should be able to print that way....assuming that you have up to date drivers for the printer installed.
2) Leave the printer connected via USB and then use a third party App like Printopia installed on your Mac as a "workaround" to (hopefully) allow the iOS to device to be able to print. If you want to give this a try, there is a free trial for Printopia, so you will know if it will work before you buy. You must have a Mac running on the network in order for Printopia to function correctly.

When playing my i-tunes library through my hi-fi via Airport Express, how can I get i-tunes to play a single album and then stop, without continuing on through my entire library. It's a problem that doesn't occur when I'm listening through my i-pod.

Hey everyone in Apple world!
I figured out how to fix the flashing yellow screen problem that I've been having on my MBP! Yessssss!!!
I found this super handy website with the golden answer: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
I followed the instructions on this page and here's what I did:
Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
I went through the 6 steps above twice, just to make sure I got rid of whatever stuff was holding up my bootup process. Since I did that, my MBP boots up just like normal. No flashing yellow screen anymore!!
(Note that I arrived at this solution when I first saw this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570?viewlocale=en_US)
Let me know if this works for you!

Can I play ipad / iphone etc direct to airport express without router or internet?

Can I play ipad / iphone etc direct to airport express without router or internet?

Something must produce a wireless signal to do what you want.
The AirPort Express is a router.
Is it possible to configure the AirPort Express to "create a wireless network" and then ignore the messages informing you that you do not have an Ethernet cable plugged into the Express,and do not have an Internet connection / DNS service.

IPhone 5s connect to airport express but when I play in iTunes no option to pick airport ?

iPhone 5s connect to airport express but when I play in iTunes no option to pick airport ?

If anyone would like to know how to fix this, I discovered the answer.
I have no idea what IPv6 is and I care not, but apparently now, all of a sudden, Apple makes iTunes talk to Airport Express units using IPv6. However, it didnt bother to make the Airport Express units expect this first, so iTunes can see the Airport Express, but it cant talk to it.
Anyway, I found that you have to manually go into your Mac settings (scary stuff if you are a non technical person like me) and turn off IPv6.
To do this, go to "Finder > Go > Utilities > Terminal"
type
networksetup -setv6off Wi-Fi (hit enter)
Then type
networksetup -setv6off Ethernet (hit enter)
and magically your iTunes will talk to your Airport Express units again.
I presume at some point we will have to undo this as technology moves on and everything uses IPv6, so when that happens go into Terminal again and type
networksetup -setv6automatic Wi-Fi (hit enter)
Then type
networksetup -setv6automatic (hit enter)
Thanks Apple for that.

My two iMacs frequently go offline when I have our iPad and two iPhones-5 connected with Airport Express (2nd edition). If I disable WiFi on my three "i" devices no problem. Any thoughts on this?

.....doesn't that seems to suggest the modem?
That is what I have suggested....twice now. From posts above:
My opinion would be that it is likely not the ISP, unless you have complete loss of Internet service for all devices at the same time......it is the Comtrend device....
and
I believe that the problem lies with the modem, and not the ISP signal.
Your ISP will likely have a different opinion, though. Please keep us posted on your progress.

Want to rebroadcast a login access network through my macbook to airport express

How do i log in to the website based wireless network at my marina on my macbook
then rebroadcast the network via airport express through ethernet?

On your MacBook, open System Preferences on the dock and open Sharing
Click on Internet Sharing...but do not put a check mark in the box yet.
You would want to Share your connection from AirPort
To Computers using Ethernet
Enter a check mark next to Internet Sharing and Turn On Internet Sharing
Configure the Express to create a wireless network in Bridge Mode
50/50 chance at any given time that this will work, but it is worth a try

When playing iTunes from 2006 MacBook via Airport Express remote stereo speakers, the music keeps dropping in and out

I've tried hours and a trip to the Apple Store to resolve this problem, and no luck so far.
We have two Airport Expresses -- one is an older "g" version (from 2006), one is a newer "n" version (a couple of years old).
We have one older MacBook (from June 2006) (so it can only use "g" wireless and also cannot be upgraded to OS X 10.7 "Lion").
We have one MacBook Air and an iMac (both less than a year old), an iPad (about 2 months old), and a recently acquired AppleTV (in the past few weeks).
We also have two iPhones that do use our local wireless network on occassion.
We have stereo speakers that are currently connected into one of the Airport Expresses.
For years (until the past few weeks) I played music from iTunes on my first generation MacBook to the speakers with no problems (using the older "g" Airport Express). Recently, however, when playing music remotely over the speakers we have gotten fairly regular (though at random intervals) drops of the music in and out (drops are for a second or two each). So far, here's what we've tried to do:
(1)     Went to the Apple Store, where they thought the problem might be compatability between the g and n equipment in our house. They suggested that we get an Airport Extreme and use that as the base so that 2.5 GHz and 5 GHz networks could each be set up, allowing the two systems to play nicely. Spent a couple of hours setting everything up. No dice.
(2)     The skipping happens even when (a) I turn off the Apple TV; and/or (b) turn off the older Airport Express and just use the Extreme and the "n" Express (with the "n" Express as the connection to the stereo).
(3)      When I have the wireless network drop-down menu selected on my MacBook, the skipping occurs immediately after the computer is "looking for networks" (as shown at the top of the menu). The computer does this at random intervals on a regular basis. The skipping, however, will occur even if the menu is not selected.
(4)     Here's the weirdest part. The skipping has even occured when playing iTunes from our newish iMac, with the older MacBook shut down, with the older Airport Express shut down. In this case, the skipping only appears to occur when we have the wireless network drop-down menu selected and again, it occurs when the computer is "looking for networks" which occurs at random intervals. In this situation, the skipping only seems to occur when the menu is selected.
At this point, if I can't find another solution, I'm going to return the Airport Extreme, and just give up playing music over our stereo speakers from the MacBook (and instead transfer music to the iMac and play from it). But I thought I'd try a last-ditch effort to ask for help to see if anyone could figure out what might be causing the problem. I would chalk it up to the problems of using my old "g" network MacBook on a newer "n" system (though I'm not about to spend $1K+ to upgrade my laptop just for this), but for (4) above, which seems to indicate something else is going on.
Any help would be most appreciated!

Unfortunately, your description of the problem and the placement of both your main and AirPort Express routers does lend itself to believe the problem is most likely Wi-Fi interference. If it isn't the microwave or portable phones, it could be obstacles like walls between the routers that may be preventing the stream from consistently reaching the Express.
In your configuration, the stream will first travel to the main router, and then, from the main router to the AirPort Express. If, for example, you started the stream in the same room as the Express, that stream would have to travel across several rooms at least twice.

How to configure traveling MacBook and airport express

Here is the probelm I am interested in getting help with
I frequently travel with my family with Mac Books and an airport express. When we are at a hotel we dont want to pay for 5 internet connections at the daily rate. So if the hotel has an ethernet wire its easy, I plug in the ethernet wire to the airport express and build my own network. This typically works. The problem comes when the hotel has a wireless network. How can I configure the airport express so that I can create a new wireless network routing the traffic through the single wireless connection that the hotel gives me? If this cant be done with an airport express is there another router it can be done with?
Thanks for any help/advice.

You can setup your Airport Express (AX) as a wireless client connecting to the hotel wireless network. Connect the ethernet port on the AX to your Mac's ethernet port for internet access. Go to System Preferences/Sharing tab, enable internet sharing after configuring "Share your connection from Ethernet" and "To computers using AirPort". Your laptop will act as an access point for your other computers. You may not get blazing speed from the internet since you are splitting the bandwidth, however, this is the lowest cost solution for your dilemma. Remember to set your wireless security before you start sharing your connection or you may have other "guests" connecting to your mini network.

Backup of MacBook using Airport Express and File Sharing

I have an iMac backed up (500GB internal drive) using Time Machine to a Western Digital external drive (1TB) via Firewire; I also have second external drive (500GB) for FCE and Photoshop use. I'm about to buy a MacBook (160GB drive) for my wife, and an Airport Express (connected via cable modem) to give her wireless access to the internet and wireless access to our printer. My first thought was to get the Airport Extreme and try wireless backups for both the iMac and MacBook using Time Machine and connecting the backup drive as an Airdisk. However, I've also been reading about the slow performance and iffy future Apple support for this arrangement.
Well, that's the windup -- here's the question. Is it feasible for me to just use filesharing in my iMac to have the MacBook work files (and folders) saved directly in the iMac public folder? The rationale is that I would change nothing in my current IMac/backup drive configuration. The iMac acts as a wireless network fileserver for the MacBook. The MacBook work files would then automatically get backed up as part of the iMac backups. There would be minimal network use for file use and storage between the two computers because only work files from the MacBook will get saved on the iMac.
Do I have this right, or am I missing something?

Well, that's the windup -- here's the question. Is it feasible for me to just use filesharing in my iMac to have the MacBook work files (and folders) saved directly in the iMac public folder?
Sure. This is not supported by Time Machine but you could open/save the files directly from the Finder or application in use.
OR you could use Time Machine to make a backup of the MacBook to the 1 TB external drive connected to the iMac. That is the scenario I use with my iBook and iMac.

Problem iPhone WiFi Connection to Airport Express with static IP addresses

We have our Airport Express configured on the LAN with a fixed IP. It is not distributing IP addresses, or providing DHCP services; it simply links the WiFi to the LAN.
To connect via WiFi you set a static IP for the wireless device and enter all IP information by hand (IP/Router/Mask/DHCP etc). Laptops can connect fine, and use the network.
The iPhone connects to the wireless network ok (we tried with security on and off), however, it seems to be unable to successfully use the network. Any attempt to browse a web page using a numeric IP address, or regular IP address, fails.
Has anyone successfully used the iPhone on a WiFi network with static IP addresses, and a Wireless access point that also uses a static IP address?

The problem with static IP on iPhone was caused by the IP address being blocked by over-zealous network manager...

Choppy YouTube Playback with MacBook and AirPort Express

I recently purchased a brand new 2.1 Ghz Intel Macbook (white) with extra memory and immediately connected it to the internet using the AirPort Express 802.11n. I have experienced no problems thus far except for extremely poor internet streaming video playback. YouTube videos stop to load every few seconds. I didn't have this problem with my old PowerBook G4, and like I said, everything else seems fine - pages load normally and downloads are very quick. I have installed a new version of Flash and done a couple of other suggested tricks but nothing seems to help. Any suggestions?

Time Capsule, MacBook Air, Airport Express, and my stereo: where the twain shall meet?

The MBA is wonderful, but, as we all know, not very capacious. My compromise is to store my iTunes media folder on an external hard drive, meaning that I can't play music unless the external is plugged in. When I want to play music on my stereo, I plug the stereo into my MBA, which is itself plugged into the external. Not very elegant!
I've thought of a potential solution, but not sure whether it's feasible.
Would I be able to use the Time Capsule as an external HDD—leave all my whole iTunes library on there and stream it wirelessly to my MBA without incident?
If so, could I then "re-stream" the music to an Airport Express, which would be plugged into the stereo?
I actually have the Express already, but it's plugged into the modem, which is not in the same room as the stereo. So, in theory, all I'd have to do is buy a Time Capsule, transfer my music to it, point iTunes to the new media library, plug the TC into my modem, set the Express to extend the TC's network, plug the TC into my stereo, and. . . voila, I can bring my MBA anywhere and still play any of my music through my stereo. And I'd also have a nifty 2 TB wireless external, certain to last me a very long time.
That's the theory anyway! Would it actually work? Is there a better solution? Thanks!

Yes you could use your TC HD for doing this however if you are already using the drive as a backup for Time Machine then doing so would be pretty foolish. All HD's eventually fail, so if you store any data on the TC's HD and also using it for Time Machine and the drive crashes then you will have lost not only your data but it's backup which totally defeats the idea of backing up. IMHO store your music (photo & movie) libraries on another physical EHD and yes a wireless one would be fine.

New Time Capsule, new MacBook, old Airport Express and Airtunes

I intend to buy a new MacBook and a Time Capsule, and I still have an old Airport Express, without 802.11n. I intend to use this Airport Express just for Airtunes, maybe to connect to a printer as well.
Now I was wondering, even though the Time Capsule is capable of using the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands simultaneously, the MacBook is only capable of using one band, right? So if I use Airtunes to stream music to my Airport Express, my MacBook would be forced to use the 2.4GHz band, thus slower Time Machine backups etcetera. Is this assumption correct?
Or will my MacBook send the Airtunes signal over the 5GHz band to the Time Capsule, which will send the signal over the 2.4GHz band to the Airport Express, thus not slowing down any Time Machine backups?

Yes I think this is correct. At least it seems to me that this is the purpose of having simultaneous dual-band. The time Capsule can send or receive on both bands at the same time, or receive on one band and then send on the other.
