Problems streaming Destinos videos once Airport Express installed

I just added an Airport Express and an Apple TV to my home iMac. (The Airport Express is my only "router".)
Everything works great except one problem.
I can no longer watch a series of 30-minutes lanuage videos (Destinos: http://learner.org/series/destinos/watch/index.html?ep6 ) on my iMac without restarting each video every 5 minutes and them jumping to the point it last froze to continue viewing the remainder of the video. Suggestions? It feels like some kind of buffering problem.

i have an airport express that was working fine
wirelessly with the green light sustained and
everything was fine until i had to put a password on
my wireless router to keep unauthorized users from
slowing down my connection. i am using a linksys
wireless-G router and once i installed a password the
airport express isn't recognized by the computer and
there is a yellow light blinking instead of a
sustained green light. how do i fix this problem?
Did you add a WEP password, if possible use a WPA password instead.
One of the problems with WEP is that the actual standard relies on a 10 character HEX key for 40bit WEP and a 26 character HEX key for 128bit WEP.
In order to make things easier for people, vendors use certain algorithms to convert simple alphanumeric passwords (or passphrases) into HEX keys, thus enabling people to use simple memorable WEP password rather than lengthy HEX keys.
The problem is that different vendors use different algorithms to generate the HEX key and therefore a ASCII password on an AEBS will be hashed differently on a Netgear client and vice versa.
One thing is a 13 character 128 bit WEP password will be hashed by all vendors in the same way (if you use 40bit WEP then a 5 character password is required).
Though sometimes not even that works and the HEX key must be used regardless.

  • Can i stream safari to my airport express?

    Can I stream safari to my airport express?
    3rd party software like airfoil is a posibility but I think its a bit odd that I, using a mac omputer and a mac airport extreme, need to buy software to connect these two. So is there an other way to fix this?

    Can I stream safari to my airport express?
    I assume that you mean: Can I stream web-based audio files to the AirPort Express Base Station? That is, audio files not originating from iTunes ... correct?
    If so, then (as far as your iMac is concerned) you already answered your own question with Rogue Amoeba's Airfoil. For iOS devices, you can use AirPlay with audio sources other than iTunes.

  • Connection problems when I use multiple Airport Expresses

    I have one Mac that I use to stream music to multiple Airport Express's. Its seems that when I connect to 3 expresses things work fine. If I connect to 4 the sound cuts out on all speakers.
    Is 3 the limit or am I doing something wrong?

    Yes you can but....
    With the apex in the ceiling you may get a signal loss from your main wireless system. To be able to do what you want in a whole home sound system they all need to be on the main wireless system. You also have to plug them in to a wall outlet which may be an issue with your fire regulations with them inside the walls/ceiling. With airplay you have some limitation also. If she has an ios device and likes say pandora she can only do it to one set of speakers/APex. Only itunes from a computer can do multiple/house party sound. I have 2 APex in my house and love them all. If your main wifi is out of range for some of the new APex's you can run 1 cat5/6 (APex is 10/100)  and make a new network and bridge the rest to it. As long as your new wire is connected to your main network you will stay on the same network.
    So now you get sound and a roaming wifi through out the house. (that's what I did but not in the ceiling.)
    Sonus are good but $$$. by then rewire!

  • I am having some problems setting up my new Airport Express! Can anyone help?

    I am having some problems setting up my new Airport Express.  I have registered it online, and downloaded all the new software, but for some reason it still doesn't work, and now my computer cannot find it! Anyone know what to do?

    Reset it and start again, use airport utility to find it (after the reset) and follow the instructions in the setup wizard.

  • AppleTV2 can't stream audio to my airport express

    Dear Apple Support,
    I just bought a brand new AppleTV2 (2nd generation) today and wanted to get my Apple setup just perfect - but AppleTV2 second generation dissapointed REALLY! You should definitely stick with AppleTV 1st generation.
    AppleTV2 can't stream audio wirelessly from to for example you hifi-system. This is REALLY a downgrade!
    I really hope that Apple's amazing development team will fix this as soon as possible via a software update.
    The baseline of this comment is:
    AppleTV 1st Generation can stream wireless audio to Airport Express.
    AppleTV 2nd Generation can not stream wireless audio to Airport Express - which is a MAJOR DOWNGRADE!
    Best regards,

  • Wireless Connectivity problem between BT HomeHub and AirPort Express

    Hi Guys,
    I'm new here, and have just bought my 1st Apple product!
    I'm afraid I haven't had a very good start though, and would really appreciate some assistance please.
    My problem is with connecting my Apple AirPort Express ("APX") to my BT HomeHub ("BTHH") wirelessly, whilst also being able to use the internet. I can only get the internet to work, whilst also streaming music from itunes to APX, by connecting the APX to the BTHH via an Ethernet cable. Perhaps I should state my equipment:
    *Room #1*
    Computer: Laptop
    Operating System: Windows XP, Service Pack 2
    Modem: BT Homehub (the curved version with blue lights)
    Above Connection Method: Wireless.
    *Room #2*
    Hi-Fi (Linn)
    Apple AirPort Express
    Above Connection Method: Digital (mini to regular toslink).
    *What I Want:*
    - To be able to wirelessly connect to the internet (PC to BTHH)
    - To be able to wirelessly stream music to the APX from iTunes
    - to be able to do both of the above simultaneously.
    Problem:
    Once my laptop has found the APX network, as soon as I then connect to it, my BTHH internet connection disappears. or the APX disappears and I have to do a factory restet before my computer can discover it again. (It leaves me having access to only one network or the other). Hence, I cannot stream music to the AirPort and use the internet simultaneously. One or the other. I am trying to "Join an Existing Network" via the AirTunes software.
    Very depressed as I don't know much about networking and had hoped it would just configure automatically. I have fiddled but it always loses the presence of the AirPort altogether until I do a factory reset for it to reappear as an available wireless network again.
    Please please help a struggling newby - anybody got an idiot's, step-by-step guide to the perfect settings? thank you to anybody who can assist.

  • Can I stream AirTunes to my Airport Express and my windows media center?

    Hello all, I am just about to install a windows media center in my lounge room and I would like to know how I can stream from my office mac to not only my airport express in the dining room, but my new windows box in the lounge.
    I have iTunes installed and a wireless card on the PC and speakers attached, so just wondering how I can stream from the iMac in the office to both devices? Any advice and tips? I love streaming from my iMac to the dining room, just want to be able to get the media center in on the action now
    Surely this is possible?
    Thanks,
    Matt

    To the best of my knowledge, there isn't an easy way to stream iTunes from a Mac to a PC in the manner you desire, with the PC essentially emulating an Airport Express.
    What you want to do is supported by the third party utility Airfoil (see http://www.rogueamoeba.com/airfoil/mac/ ) if the sending and receiving computers are both Macs, but I don't think the Windows version of this utility supports this feature.
    I suppose you could use third party software to set up your Mac so that it streams music over your network, in a manner that your PC and (for example) Windows media player could receive - but that is a solution beyond the scope of this discussion forum.

  • Streaming music over old airport express frequently hangs

    Ever since i upgraded to IT8 i keep having frequent interruption when i stream my music to my airport express whether they are tracks in my library or internet radio station.

    Lots of people are seeing it unfortunately.

  • Streaming from iMac to airport express

    I'm sure this has been beaten to death, but I just bought an airport express for the purposes of streaming music from my iMac to speakers in another room. What I'm wondering is how to set up the Express to facilitate this without having to buy a wireless router. I get the impression from posts I've read elsewhere that it can be done, but I haven't been able to find out how. My iMac is brand new, so it came with an airport card pre-installed, and it is connected to the internet directly from my cable modem (no wireless network to speak of).
    Any help offered will greatly appreciated!

    Nevermind, it's been solved

  • Request for advice - problem networking mac mini without airport express

    Hi - grateful for any help on this one.
    I've just upgraded from an original (May '05) mac mini to a new 20" G5 (intel dual core) which I've set up on a wireless (airport express) network. The new machine and network are working fine but I've been trying to set up the old mac mini in a different room as a second machine for work and have been having problems.
    The mac mini is the basic version without airport/bluetooth. After some mix up at the Apple Store over retro fitting an airport express the genius I spoke to recommended getting a D-link USB wireless adapter. I bought a D-link DWL-122 installed it (and after a crash course in the difference between WPA and WEP) got it running okay on the network. Unfortunately the D-link driver software appeared to wipe out the Spotlight index and stopped my HP printer being recognised. A couple of bulletin boards I googled suggested this was a common problem but I haven't been able to find any with a solution. In the end I had to wipe the hard drive and re-install from scratch to get the printer and spotlight working again.
    So I have two questions: is there a way to make the D-link work (the d-link website has no faqs, update drivers or other info about Mac bugs) or, if not, then what should I buy instead to access my wireless network reliably? Would I be better getting something that plugged straight into the mac mini's ethernet port? If so, what? And grateful for any recommendations about which products and their software are most reliable.
    Any advice gratefully received.
    Thank you!
    Chris

    Hi,
    You should of been able to use the Airport Express to solve the issue you are having. The Airport Express (small white brick shaped) is designed to work as a stand alone router or as a wireless extension to an existing wireless network.
    So the setup would be from the mini as follows:
    Mac Mini ---> Airport Express (AirPort Express Extends wireless connectivity) ---> Wireless Router (Airport Extreme, etc) ----> Cable/DSL Modem.
    Hope that helps.

  • Airport Express Install help needed as Airport utility for PC seems to sort of work?

    Hope someone can help.
    Just bought the Airport Extreme 802.11n Wi-Fi
    It is connected to my cable modem, and i have my ps3 hard wired to it.
    It is on and sending a signal because this computer is using the internet connect on it right now.
    Problem is it is still unsecured as the Airport Utility can find it but then when I click continue to set-it up it gives me the following message.
    An error occured while trying to access the apple wireless device. Make sure your network connection is valid and try again.
    Error 10057.
    Any help would be great. I'm on a PC running Windows 7.

    Thanks for the reply.
    All we have is the cable internet modem....it provides our phone and internet signals....tons of lights on it the front that are solid green or flashing green when in use.
    I have connected a cable from the modem to the airport express (WAN spot). Plugged in the device (power) and then downloaded Airport Utility for windows from apples website (no disk came in the box).
    I have have two wired connections running to the extreme as well, one is to my PS3 downstairs and the other I use when I'm at my desk with my office laptop. These shouldn't be affecting anything and I can get internet on my PS3 wired connecton so I know the router is functioning.
    I installed Airport Utility and have rebooted my PC running windows 7, I click and opne the Utility. It finds the base station but when I click on the options to continue or manual I get the error message noted in my first post. I have alos noted that the router goes green light to yellow to flashing yellow. It does nothing but flash amber right now.
    Hope this helps for solutions?

  • Trouble with Airport Express install

    Hi Everyone,
    I just received my airport express and followed the guide to attach the eithernet/internet cable. I have a Powerbook G-4 with updated OSX 10.4 and aiport card installed. I have attached to my Motorola cable modem to a Linksys eitherfast 10/100 5 port workgroup switch router to distribute the eithernet connection to my pc computer by direct eithernet line in, and the second output goes to the airport express. The airport express is clearly being seen by my powerbook, with full power, but it is not receiving the internet signal from the airport express. But my pc is getting full internet function, just one port away on the same hub. I've also taken the eithernet cable that was working fine in my pc and connected it to the airport express, then rebooted everything, including a reset on the airport express. Still don't get an internet connection. Does anyone know what might be wrong?

    The problem is that the Ethernet hub is not the proper device to use for sharing an Internet connection. You need to replace the hub with an inexpensive router.
    Your ISP is giving you a single public IP address. The PC is winning the race and getting that IP address. You need a router to use that single public IP address and then create multiple local IP addresses for your devices.
    The AirPort Express (AX) is a router but (since it only has a single Ethernet port) can not support Ethernet clients.

  • Problems connecting Canon MP780 to Airport Express

    I am at a complete loss.
    Here is my problem ; my Airport Express turns down everytime I connect my MP780 printer to its USB port.
    I am working on a Imac G5, running OS X Tiger 10.4.3, I am connecting to internet via an Ethernet modem via PPPoE and Airport Express (Airport 4.2)
    1/Cannot set up the Airport Express as long as the printer is connected to the USB port : the Airport Admin Utility freezes.
    2/I can set up the Airport Express and connect to Internet as long as the USB port is free, but as soon as I connect the printer to the USB port, Airport Express shuts down, restarts & gets reinitialized all by itself.
    Does any have an idea of what is going on?

    Thought that fellow Canon MP780 users would find this reply from Canon just as frustrating as I did. Time for a manufacturer change.....
    Canon E-mail Reply:
    Thank you for writing to us about your PIXMA MP780. We value you as a
    Canon customer and appreciate the opportunity to assist you.
    Canon does not directly support sharing or networking the printer using
    Apple's Airport base station or access point for wireless printing.
    You
    should refer to the setup information and directions provided with the
    Airport. The printer should generally be set to print to Rendezvous
    which handles communication with the Airport and printer.
    With this said, many Mac users share and successfully print with their
    Canon printers using the Airport, but it should be noted that Canon
    does
    not support printing unless the printer is directly connected to a
    native
    USB port on the Mac. If you are having an issue printing when using
    the
    Airport, you should retry printing with the printer directly connected
    to the USB port on the Mac.
    Please let us know if we can be of any further assistance with your
    PIXMA MP780.
    Thank you for choosing Canon.

  • Problems syncing Airtunes over multiple Airport Express speakers

    I've recently purchased a second Airport Express to allow me to stream music over airtunes to two rooms in the house at the same time. However, the music doesn't synchronise - there is a noticeable latency between the two sets of speakers so it sounds awful when you move from one room to another.
    Is there any way to address this? I'm wondering if the issue is that one AX is brand new and the other is about two years old (so is only 602.11g, not 602.11n and is also on older firmware).

    Unfortunately, you're at the mercy of both the ieee802.11 and ethernet standards here, and without complex timing signals, there isn't much you can do. The latency can be affected by any number of issues. I have found, however, that having both AX's on the same type of networks (such as both on ethernet or wifi) does help. However, I did have my appleTV on wifi and AX on ethernet with no timing issues.

  • Problem with Macbook pro and Airport Express!!!

    I'm having the same problem I have seen others with right now with my macbook pro and my airport express. I have set up and reconfigured the A.Express 3 times now. I have the green light, i have the Ethernet configured, I have full bars of reception but I cannot access the signal. meaning I can not go online even though everything is set up correctly and says that it's good to go. Anybody have any advice?
    Is it an issue with having to re access the network I created with the Airport utility?
    It worked the first time I configured the A. Express with my macbook pro no problem. Then suddenly my computer was just not getting internet. Even though all the settings were ok and I was even getting full bars reception from the device on my comp. So I reset the A.Express and have been having the problem mentioned above since that point. Please help me if you have any advice. Thanks so much in advance.

    I had the same problem, and to test if I was connected launched Safari and Safari after a few seconds of not connecting, it shows you a dialog box, with options to follow up, I follow the dialog box and like magic I am connected to the Internet.
