Re-installing Airport Express Assistant.

Hi all,
I've got an Airport wireless network with one Airport Express used to extend the range. Everything is working fine. However, due to a repair to my PowerBook my hard drive was wiped and I reinstalled the Airport Admin utility instead of the Express Assistant.
I've now got another Express and want to set it up in the extension so I can stream music to my Hi-Fi. So I thought I'd install the Express Assistant from the CD again (the CD is called Airport Express / iTunes CD version 4).
The trouble is the installer won't let me reinstall again as I've used software update to upgrade the Airport componants and they are of a later version than those on the CD. But I want the Express Assistant!!!
I've removed all the Airport related icons but the install still thinks it's there. What other files must I remove to get the thing to install?
Cheers
Stuart

You cannot have "reinstalled the Airport Admin utility instead of the Express Assistant" - both get installed at the same time. You must have inadvertently deleted the application.
What MacOS version is running on this Mac?

  • Can't install AirPort Express Assistant because I already have Utilities

    Just having some annoying trouble here.
    I have a MacBook Pro that came installed with AirPort Utilities, and it has the latest version.
    I bought an AirPort Express so I could stream music to my speakers with AirTunes. I'm not hooking an ethernet cable to the airport, because my wireless already works fine in my house.
    I need to install AirPort Express Assistant in order to set up the network between the express and my computer, but I can't even use the CD it came with because once I get to the part to select where I want to save it, it says "this computer already has a more recent version of AirPort on it etc..." However, I only have Utilities, not the assistant.
    With the Express plugged in, I go to Utilities and it doesn't pick anything up, which makes sense. So basically, what can I do?
    I tried deleting Utilities off my computer so I could just install the whole CD but even that did nothing.
    Thanks.

    Your version of Snow Leopard already had the latest version of AirPort Utility 5.5.1, which is the version that you should use to configure the AirPort Express.
    The disk which came with the AirPort Express was produced some time ago and the version of AirPort Utility on the disk is out of date.
    Not sure what you mean by Assistant. There is a guided setup process in AirPort Utility that is initiated when you click the Continue button. That may be what you are thinking of.
    You made a mistake by deleting AirPort Utility 5.5.1 from your computer. You should download AirPort Utility 5.5.1 and install it so that you can configure your AirPort Express.

  • I have installed airport express and it lights steady green. But when I use the airport tool, nothing can be found.

    I have installed airport express on my Window 7 and had problem to find the airport express.
    I solved the problem by turning off my AVG firewall and  the airport tool found the airport express and it went steady green.
    I then turned on the AVG firewall again and it continues ok.
    But when I turn off and restarted my laptop I have to follow the same procedure.
    The AVG firewall is set to All Allowed for the airport express.
    Is there anybody out there that can give assistance to solve this problem?

    Hi,
    I solved the problem myself by updating the Wi-fi driver.
    Now it works perfect.

  • Where is the Airport Express Assistant?

    I have successfully installed a first airport express as base. Now i want to add 3 more extensions ... but i cant find the assistant that allows me to the extension. I have looked in Applic/Utilities, but its not there. I think i am update in basic software -- 10.4.3 and Tunes 6.01.3.
    I have tried to reinstall the Express CD ...but the system sys refuses ... saying that I already have the software.
    I have looked in the support section of Apple to get a download and it does not exist alone ...only in the full airport software...that my machine refuses.
    Help please!
    Many thanks in advance!

    The Airport Express Assistant is an obsolete application referred to in some of the older product documentation for the Airport Express. You should use the Airport Setup Assistant, which is found in the /Applications/Utilities folder of your Mac - unless you trashed it by mistake!

  • HT1515 Just installed Airport Express on Mac 10.6.8  Can't see base station.  Hard Reset the Airport.  Rebooted machine.  How can I tell if this is a Mac problem or Airport Express Problem?

    I have a Mac 10.6.8.  Just installed Airport Express.  I can't see any base stations.  I did a hard reset on the Airport Express, turned off all devices,  turned them back on.   I see plenty of Airport networks in the neighborhood.  How can I tell if I have a Mac problem or an Airport Express problem?  Airport Express blinks Amber. 

    Obviously,  I'm still using ethernet to be able to reply to this.
    Alright, use the same ethernet cable to plug directly into the airport express. This will FORCE the airport utility to now see it regardless of weak signals & interference. You can set it up that way.
    BTW, what is the original intent on the express?

    How can i install Airport Express A 1264 on os x 10.9.2

    Hello chawich
    All you should need is Airport Utility that is located in the Utilities folder that sits in the Application folder. If you have an iOS device, you can also set it up with that device with Airport Utility or in Wi-Fi section in Settings.

    Since you indicated that you were using OS X (10.6.8)......
    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Click on AirPort Express, then click Manual Setup
    Click the Wireless tab located under the row of icons
    Edit the Wireless Network Name as you wish
    Click Update to save the new changes
    Allow a full minute for the AirPort Express to restart

  • Installing Airport Express

    I can't install Airport Express on my Mac. It says "you cannot install Airport on this volume. The Version of Mac OSX on this volume is not supported" The Airport disc says 10.4 or higher is required and I'm running 10.5.6.

    Mac OS X 10.5.6 includes the software for it. You don't need to and shouldn't install anything.

    If the AX is working properly, it should not show up in your list of available networks (since it is "joined" to your router). Have you unplugged and replugged your AX? Unplugged and, after a minute, replugged your router? Do you have MAC address filtering enabled on your router? (if so, disable it to see if the AX works ... it will broadcast its MAC address to the router, and you can add it.) Is your firewall turned on? Turn it off and see if you can access Airtunes. You will have to open a port in your firewall if that is the case.
    The AX should have the same network name as your router the wireless tab. When it shows up, what name is it broadcasting?

  • Can't install AirPort Express, and unit is flashing amber

    Hi,
    I've just bought an Airport Express unit, with the aim of playing iTunes remotely (I have a separate wireless connection to the net). I have two problems:
    1) When I try to install the Airport Express software provided, the setup tells me that I have a later version of iTunes and cannot install Airport Express. Does that mean iTunes v7.0 (which I am using) already contains Airport Express?
    2)My Airport Express unit is flashing amber. Resetting the unit makes no difference. I suspect this is due to the problem of 1) but am really stuck on how to progress!
    many thanks in advance!

    Duane,
    Thank you for your speedy response!!!!
    When I open the AirPort Utility.app, a window opens called AirPort Utility, the twirly/stopwatch icon goes into motion next to the words"Discovering Base Stations." After this happens for some seconds, these words appear...
    "AirPort Utility was unable to find any AirPort base stations. Please make sure the AirPort base station you want to set up is plugged in and in range of your computer, and then click rescan to try again."
    My express is plugged in five feet from my computer. What to do....?
    Many thanks!

  • Can't install AirPort Express Software

    Help!
    Trying to install AirPort Express Software in my computer. It's an iMac 1.25 GHz PowerPC G4. It was installed with OS X 10.3 with updates through 10.3.9. I recently installed Leopard 10.5 and it is now updated to version 10.5.1. But, when I try to install the software for my new AirPort Express, it says "you cannot install AirPort on this volume. The version of Mac OS X on this volume is not supported." Huh? AirPort express says it can be used by computers working on OS X 10.4 or later. What might be my problem? THANKS!

  • Airport Express Assistant Sofware Download??

    I have a new macbook pro with tiger and bought an airport express because I want to stream music to my speakers. I cannot get my computer to recognize the airport express. Do I need to download the assistant? If so, where can I download this?
    Thanks

    Hello Brandon Tussy. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    I have a new macbook pro with tiger and bought an airport express because I want to stream music to my speakers. I cannot get my computer to recognize the airport express. Do I need to download the assistant? If so, where can I download this?
    The necessary AirPort utilities should already be installed on your new MacBook Pro. Did you check the /Applications/Utilities folder? If they're not there, you can install them from the CD that came with the AirPort Express Base Station (AX). (Note: Your new MacBook Pro should have the latest version of the AirPort Utility, version 5.x. I suggest you verify it's existence before trying the install from the CD...as this would attempt to install the earlier, version 4.x. The subtle difference between the two is that version 5.x is called the AirPort Utility; whereas the 4.x version is called the AirPort Admin Utility. The newer version incorporates all the capabilities of version 4.x plus it replaces the AirPort Setup Assistant.)

  • Airport Express Assistant

    im trying to instal a another Airport. All goes well but then the assistant comes with error -4 something. I've tried to install the program again, but always the same, can anybody please help me,
    thanks.

    Hi,
    I'm a reluctant Windows user as my Mac has just gone belly up. Can I ask where you got your copy of Aiport Express Assistant from? I have three airport express units I wish to set-up but can't find the assistant software anywhere. I've tried all the disks that cam with the units but none of them install the assistant, only an 'admin utility'. Any ideas?
