The airport utility does not find my Airport Extreme. I tried to reset the base, but I can`t make it. What can i do?

Please perform a Factory Default Reset exactly as follows:
Pull the power plug from the back of the AirPort Extreme (AEBS)
Wait a minute
Hold in the reset button first and continue to hold it in for at least 7-8 more seconds while you simultaneously plug the power back in to the AEBS
Release the reset button after the 7-8 second hold period
Allow 30-45 seconds for the AEBS to restart
Temporarily, connect a spare Ethernet cable from your Mac to one of the LAN <-> ports on the AEBS
Open AirPort Utility to see if can now see the AEBS

    My airport utility does not find my airport express device

    In order for the AirPort Utility on your iOS device to find the Express, both need to be connected to the same Wi-Fi network. By default, the Express will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a network name of something like: Apple Network NNNNNN. Can you iOS device find this network?

  • Airport utility does not find any airport and time capsule hardware

    Hi, I have 4 airport expresses (2 for music and one for extending network) and a time capsule that also acts as my wifi router. The expresses have always appeared and disappeared from the express utility, while the TC is always listed. Now airport utility cannot find find any of them, and after many rescans, and a few "successful" hard reboots (in the sense that they were configured, but then disappeared again), still does not see them. The strange thing is that the TC has to be working because this computer is hooked up to the internet via the wifi router, and it is working fine. Any ideas? The expresses are not that big of a deal, as I can always plug an ipod to play music, but they used to work. I am on 5.4.2 on the utility, having rolled it back a few months ago when some of these problems begain. thanks

    Welcome to the discussions!
    It sounds like you are trying to scan for and configure your Apple devices using wireless. If you haven't tried this yet, I think you will have much better luck if you connect an ethernet cable directly from your computer to the device that you are trying to "see".
    If this does not work at first, it may help to power down both your computer and the device, then connect the ethernet cable and power the computer and device back up.

  • Since I've upgraded to Maverick the airpot utility does not recognise that there is a time capsule on the wireless network. I can see the TC using the air port utility on my iPhone5 and on my iPad. What am I doing wrong on my macbook?

    Since I've upgraded to Maverick on my Macbook Pro the airpot utility does not recognise that there is a time capsule on the wireless network. I can see the TC using the air port utility on my iPhone5 and on my iPad. What am I doing wrong on my macbook?

    I have over 250G backed up and I really don't want to reset everything and start again.
    Not sure what you mean here. 
    A reset will not affect any of the data on the Time Capsule hard drive.  You would have to perform a completely separate and very deliberate Erase Disk operation for that to occur.
    I'm not recommending that you perform a default reset, but it is an option if there is really nothing else to try.
    I don't know if what you are seeing is a Mavericks issue or not, since I refuse to use any new software until at least the first major update with fixes comes along.
    Another user may be able to offer more input on Mavericks.

  • Windows 7 airport utility does not recognize my airport extreme

    My iphone connects to my airport extreme and the airport utility sees it. So does my ipad and my friends laptop.
    When I use wifi or wired connection (to lan port) from Windows 7 laptop to my airport extreme. The airport utility does not "see the extreme.
    I've uninstalled/reinstalled the following:
    - bonjour
    - airport utility
    - itunes.
    I've wasted 3 hours on this.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.....

    UPDATE
    * I located the IP address and admin password of the airport extreme and was able to log into to the (File / configure other) airport extreme.
    I believe it's a W7 bonjour issue.
    As you can see in my attachments, Bonjour is installed however msconfig running services show it as stopped. I can't get it to start.
    ** How can I force bonjour to start? **
    Here are my replies to your recommended steps:
    What version extreme are you talking about? Actual model A1xxx from the base is a big help.
    - I forgot to check this
    Step 1.. Ping.. Ping is your most important tool to find things on a network.
    Open a command window and type ping 10.0.1.1 (or whatever is the current IP of the extreme).
    - Yes, I can ping it.
    Please turn off all firewalls.
    - Yes, firewall is off
    Make sure the win7 is not in homegroup.
    - done.
    Make sure win7 is set to home.. not work or public for location of the network.
    - done.
    Step 2. .. This assumes you now have ping response.
    In whatever airport utility you like, reset the extreme to use all SMB names.
    - WHERE do I make these changes?

  • This version of airport utility does not support my airport express

    I have just bought a new MAc and am trying to add my old airport express base station on to my exisiitng wireless network so that I can use it to stream music. I had set it up ages ago with my PC but didn't really use it.
    I can get the aiport utility to see it but it tells me that this version does not support my airport express.  Help!

    Unfortunately, Apple has dropped support for the older AirPort routers in their newer operating systems.
    You can still configure and administer the older AirPort Express, but you will need to have (or borrow) a Mac running Leopard or Snow Leopard, or a PC.

  • Airport Setup Utility does not find Airport Express

    I have an airport extreme connect to my iMac and today installed an airport express in another room so I can use a printer and speakers for piping iTunes to the other room.
    I connected my printer to the Airport Express and plugged the airport express into the socket to power it up. After initially showing a green light, then solid yellow, the airport express showed a blinking yellow light. The airport express is only located 10 feet from my airport extreme base station.
    The Airport Setup Utility does not find an extpress in the area and I have even done a hard restart on the express to see if this fixes the problem.
    Am I missing anything with the configuration of the airport express? Thanks for your help.

    Ahh, I have the same problem... my airport keeps stopping and starting. I then tried using the setup utility with with express and it cannot find it. I tried rescanning, but nothing.

  • HT1998 My iPAD can use the internet through my airport extreme, but the airport utility does not see it so I can't create a guest password.  What am I doing wrong?

    My iPAD can use the internet through my Airport Extreme, but the Airport Utility does not see the device so I can't set a guest password. 

    If your Mac is using the Lion operating system with recent updates, it will be necessary to download and install AirPort Utility 5.6 for Mac OS X Lion
    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility 5.6
    Select the AirPort Extreme and click Manual Setup
    Click the Wireless tab just below the row of icons
    Click the Wireless Network Options button
    Remove the check mark next to Create a closed network
    Click Done, then click Update to save the new settings and allow 25-30 seconds for the AirPort Extreme to restart

  • Airport utility does not support base station? Help!

    I cannot get base station light to turn green. Blinking amber. I upgraded to a new Verizon modem and since then the base station does not work. What can I do?

    Make sure the new Verizon Modem is not also a WiFi Router, if it is then that may be your issue.  If it is indeed just a Modem then your Ethernet Connection should work and your base station should be working.  You said "Airport Utility does not support base station".  Don't know what you meant by that.  Do you have an Airport Extreme, Airport Express or a Airport TC as a Base Station?  If yes, you should be able to set up your Network via Airport Utility.  If the Verizon Modem is only a Modem then unplug the power from your Airport Base Station, then unplug the Power from your Verizon Modem for at least 1-minute.  Plug the Modem back in and give it a moment or so, then make sure you do have an Ethernet cable going from your Verizon provided Modem to your WAN port on your Airport Base Station.  Now power up your Airport Base Station and go to your Airport Utility.  Find the Base Station and click on Edit...  Make sure your Network Name is correct, your Password is Correct, your Security method is correct (example:  WPA2 Personal).  If all correct see if your blinking Amber light is now Solid Green. 

  • Installed new harddrive and I am trying to restore from time machine external back up. I restarted the computer and held the Command key and the R and the restore utility does not appear. what can I do

    I installed new hard drive and I am trying to restore from time machine external back up. I restarted the computer and held the Command key and the R and the restore utility does not appear. what can I do

    Command + R keys are for Macbooks running Lion and Mountian Lion only. ( i could be wrong on this)
    you have a couple of options:
    Do a clean install of Snow Leopard via Install DVD.
    Clone your old hard drive to your new hard drive via Carbon Copy Cloner
    Or click on the link below to give you a better idea.
    Hope you get it sorted out.

  • My iMovie voice recording is suddenly not working. As I record, it shows the green bars; however, when I play the recording it does not play my voice over at all nor show the green bars. I was mid-way through my project when this problem occured.

    As far as I can see, it's random. Everything. Nothing makes any sense!
    A the moment, the iPhone is playing music with the SIM card, but without anything plugged into it, but it's occasionally fading in and out.
    Oh, and I doubt this is related, but about two months ago the iPhone failed to show that the battery was draining - it was stuck at 100%. This went on for a few days, it wouldn't even warn me at the 20% mark, it would just shut off. This happened for at least three full charges - I remember at one point it suddenly started working again at about the 70% mark, I'm not sure if it was alright after that or if it went glitchy on the next charge... but in any case, the problem mysteriously never reappeared after those few days.

    I have reset my iphone and made sure all updates have been done on my macbook pro and iphone. It was after updating my macpro that I plugged in my phone and went to itunes to backup phone and can't see the device anywhere! I have also done all the troubleshooting that apple.com recommended too...all except re-installing itunes!

    You don't sync the MM calendar anymore, you subscribe to it in iCal,
    iCal>Preferences>Accounts, enter the details here.
    MM should be the default calendar on all clients.
