Trouble airport express mavericks

Hello,
Since I installed OS 10.9, my Airport Express v 7.6.4 lost the connection with AIrport Extreme v 7.6.4. I'm using Airport Utility 6.3.2.
I had the same trouble when Airport Utilitity upgraded to 6.3 few months ago. The only soluce was to reinstall utility 5.6, but actually 5.6 is not compatible with oS 10.9.
Did someone meet the same trouble? Any soluce? (I'm waiting for your comments before reinstalling utility 6.1 or 6.2).
Thanks!

Same problem for me.
Unfortunately, it would seem Apple has figured out a way to get more $$ out of a perfectly working Airport Express.
Utility 5.6 does not work with Mavericks and I have the older Airport Express model A1264 that only works with this utility. Unless there is a fix I cannot find, it looks like we are SOL.

Is the Airport Express first Generation compatible with Mavericks?

I've an Airport Express first generation, and since upgrading to Mavericks, it doesn't show anymore in Airport Utility, and the light on it keeps blinking.
The Airport Extreme works fine.
Any help is welcome.
Thanks.

The second row in this article discusses AIrPort Utility 6.3.2, which is the current version that runs under Mavericks.
It says the first generation AirPort Express is compatible.

Using 1st gen airport express with mavericks

When I upgraded to Mavericks, the updated Airport Utility dosen't support my version of airport express 1st generation. The old version of airport utility is not supported by mavericks. There is a version on the website that appears it may work, but I can't install it because their is a new version already installed. I cannot delete the new version, because the sytem blocks it with a message that it is necessary for the operating system.

Mavericks certainly will support a 1st Gen version of the AirPort Express, so chances are......you do not have a 1st Gen Express.
Please check the model number on the side of your Express. It starts with an "A" followed by four numbers.
A 1st Gen version is A1264. I imagine that you have A1084 or A1088, which are much older versions than the 1st Gen "n" Express,which was introduced in 2008.
Witht the A1084 or A1088, you will need to use another Mac running Leopard, Snow Leopard, or another PC to be able to administer the older AirPorts.

Mavericks mirroring with airport express audio

I am using a Macbook running Mavericks to mirror my desktop. I am sending it to a projector connected to an AppleTv. Currently the audio comes out only on the tiny projector speaker.
Can I stream the audio to a speaker connected to an Airport Express?
I have tried this but can not get the audio to work except when I play music in itunes.

This is exactly what I would like to do as well. I have found a quasi work around through the use of the app 'beamer' on my macbook. It allows me to play movies from my macbook, sent to my projector via ATV, which then sends the audio to my AE.
However I cannot get it to work with desktop mirroring. It seems like a bug/oversight on Apple's part rather than any big issue that requires complex solutions though....
would be great if they could solve this.. *hint hint*....

Connection to a 2007 Airport Express impossible with OS X Mavericks

Hi there,
My WiFi network already has an Airport Extreme base and Airport Express (latest generation) extension, both working well. I'd like to extend the range further by adding another Airport Express, manufactured in 2007 (model 1088).
Unfortunately, I have OS X Mavericks and its version of Airport Utility doesn't manage to connect to that station. It sees it fine, but gives an error message upon trying to connect to set it up ('This version of Airport Utility can't connect to this station.'). I tried downloading a previous version of Airport Utility, but OS X Mavericks prevents me from opening it.
Any idea how this could be worked around? Upgrading the base station's firmware? But then how, since it won't speak to my Mac?
Thanks a lot in advance, folks.

Not sure how much it will help you, but check out this link to run the 5.6 util in Mavericks: http://coreyjmahler.com/2013/10/24/airport-utility-5-6-1-on-os-x-10-9-mavericks/
The util works fine for me, and hopefully it will help you.

I am having trouble connecting to wifi network via airport express on my windows xp pc, but I know it is working because I can connect on my macbook, does anyone know what the problem is?

Tell us more about the problem, I can think up 100&1 different reasons, but don't have time to go through all the possibilities. So.. what happens?

Printer Troubles: Powerbooks, Airport Express and Epson C86

We have two Powerbooks, and we have an Epson C86 connected to an Airport Express. We are having trouble printing to the C86. My wife can not print at all and I can print only when I restart the AE, then as soon as my laptop is put to sleep and woken up again I can not print at all. I have to restart the AE.
I've tried resetting the printers and the printer utilities, but that again works once then not at all.
Is the issue the OS, the AE or the printer? Are there Epson printers that work smoothly with the latest OS and AE?
Thanks.

Actually, the problem is still persisting! In order to print I have to do the following:
1 Go to the back room with the printer
2 Restart the printer
3 Restart the Airport Express
4 Restart the Powerbook
Everytime! I am so ****** about this. The printer used to work just fine on the network. Sometimes I feel like technology takes one step forward and two steps back! Just give me a pen and paper!

Airport Utility 5.6 is not supported in Mavericks. How do I access my old Airport Express?

I have an old Airport Express streaming iTunes to a Bose Wave Radio. I wanted to change the name, but it requires Airport Utility 5.6 and that isn't supported by Mavericks. How do I access my old airport express with a computer on OSX 9?

Yes, if you are running Tiger 10.4.x and have AirPort Utility 5.4.2 installed.
AirPort Utility 5.4.2 for Mac - Support - Apple

I want to install an old airport express, the ones which are directly plugged into the socket - but it does not work with Maverick or Snow Leopard - can I configure it with a windows pc?

The Mac running Snow Leopard should be able to configure virtually any version of the AirPort Express.
Tell us what steps that you are taking to configure the Express and what happens after each step.

Having trouble with my Airport Utility not supporting either of my Airports Expresses or Basestation. Do i have to update Firmware of airports or is the issue with my version of Utility which i believe is the latest. Thank you.

AirPort Utility in Mountain Lion will not support the older versions of the AirPort Express.....model numbers A1084 and A1088. Check on the side of the Express for the model number.
In addition, AirPort Utility in Mountain Lion will not support the older "round" or "dome" shaped versions of the AirPort Extreme.
Can you check to see how your devices might be affected?

HT1515 Mavericks does not anymore support former versions of Airport Express Setup tool. Any suggestion ?

Maverick's Airport Express setup tool (>= v6) is no longer supporting old versions of Airport Express device.
I could not notice this limitation before moving to Mavericks, and so far, I have no other alternative than buying a more recent version of Airport Express to be able to reconfigure it to fit in my new home wifi configuration.
Is anyone facing the same issue ?
Such an obsolescence planning is unacceptable from Apple. They shoud solve this mistake through a new release of the Airport Express configuration tool, but at this point I'm not really sure they will do it one day...
Is anyone also frustrated or upset with this ?
Thanks,
Philippe.

There are literally hundreds of posts on this topic that offer a number of solutions. You may want to search the Discussions forum to access them ... and yes, there are a number of frustrated users due to this.
Basically you have the following choices:
Use a Mac running an earlier OS X version that supports v5.6 of the AirPort Utility.
Run a virtual machine on your Mac that is running an earlier OS X version.
Use a Windows-based PC.
Update to a newer base station.
There are also a couple of other solutions / "hacks" that involve Terminal edits or using script files that are not supported by Apple.

Airport Express doesn't play music after iOS7 / Maverick Upgrade

I have speakers connected through Airport Express so that I can stream music wirelessly through my Macbook / iPhone / iPad.
After upgrade to iOS7 / Maverick, the Airplay does not work. Through all the devices, airplay connects with a really short sound of music initially and then goes blank where all the devices still show Airplay is connected.
Did anyone else face this problem or have a suggested solution?
Thanks for help, much appreciated.
Cheers!

I had the same problem, iPod-app crashes, iPod-app didn't play any music in my car (MINI with USB-Audio interface).
I tried restoring with iOS4 and restored from the recent backup. Same problem.
My last try was to restore the iPhone with iOS4 without restoring a backup (= fresh iPhone 3G with iOS 4.0). Afterwards i've installed some apps and put some music on it. I've tried it in my car: no iPod crashes, works like it should, no problems so far...
The only thing I have to try is Audiobooks. With iPhone OS 3.x I had the problem that sometimes the Audiobooks wont resume the position and played from beginning, hope the fresh install also solves this problem as well.
I'm an iPhone user since the beginning, I've started with the original iPhone with iPhone OS 1.1. During all the OS releases and all device upgrades/replaces I've allways migrated my content, so I suggest that there are some settings from older OS versions that screw up the system. One complete reset is okay for me. It's a bit of work to do (backing up data in each app), but it's worth it.

Airport Express 802.11b under Mavericks?

How can I configure my airport Express 802.11b?
Used to be I had an old version of Airport Utility (5.6) I could run to configure the airport express I have attached to my stereo. Now under mavericks (10.9) I can't launch that app on my MB Pro.

There are a number of posts offering potential workarounds for this. However, it is important to understand that some of these are fairly technical and require using the Terminal to make changes ... however, I would caution that these are not approved by Apple and you may end up impairing you OS X Mavericks operating system.
The "safest" option is to use an earlier OS X equipped Mac or a Windows PC to administer the older 802.11b or 802.11g AirPorts OR upgrading your AirPort to either an 802.11n or 802.11ac model.

Airport Express/Time Capsule Wi-Fi Troubles

Hi everybody,
I'm having some troubles setting up my new AirPort environment (all the products are 1-2 generation, I call it "new" because I had to modify the position of all the modems and I can't get them to work).
I have a Time Capsule connected to my ADSL modem. When I'm next to it the download speed is 1MB (megabyte) and the upload is 500KB (kilobytes). I have a smaller "house" on the other side of the garden that we use as entertainment space, it has just two rooms, a bathroom and a big living room.
I can connect to the Time Capsule (and then to the Internet) at 800KB when I'm in the bathroom, but when I move away from it, towards the living room, the signal drops. I get a "connection timeout" error if i try to connect, and if I keep moving the Wi-Fi doesn't connect at all.
I controlled if there was some kind of interference, but the walls are thin. So I took my AirPort Express in here, I attached it in the bathroom, and if I stay there (not in the living room) the signal is ok and I can configure the Express to extend my Time Capsule network.
It doesn't work. I followed the Utility AirPort step-by-step and it said that everything was ok and the Express light turned green, it worked decently (~500KB) and it spread out all over the living room, but when I got up the next morning to check if everything was fine, even if I saw the green light of the Express it was like it didn't work at all.
Carlo
P.s.
Right now Utility Airport is working this way (the Express doesn't extend the signal), but when I got it working the AirPort Express was connected directly to the Time Capsule

The following illustrates the problem:
Depending on the Extreme's firmware version, you may find an option to configure the Extreme to not "allow this network to be extended". That will limit the Express's available connection options to the Time Capsule.
Try that. If you are unable to find that checkbox in AirPort Utility then it's not an option. Apple removed it in a recent firmware update (it's always on by default). You might find it by reverting to an earlier firmware release, but I don't necessarily recommend that.

Trouble with keeping connection with Airport express

Hi,
I've got 5-6 year old airport express which gives me some troubles. It has worked for months but recently it just disappeared from Airfoil and when I looked up the settings it said that it wasn't installed.
I tried to reinstall it several times without success. When I used old versions of the program it worked for a few days. And then the same thing happened, it disappeared from airfoil and I had to reinstall it again.
Could it be so that this old model of airport express is in conflict with my Mac Os Leopard system so it keeps forcing my airport settings to go off? Is there a solution to it so I don't have to reinstall it every now and then?
Thanks for your help
Regards Henrik

I need to share a wireless connection to a old powermac that does not have a wifi card. I have an airport express that is connected "join wireless network" mode, and I have run an ethernet cable from the express to the G5. However, I am not getting a internet connection on the G5 (the rest of the wireless network works fine).
If you launch AirPort Utility, put your AirPort Express into "manual setup" mode, then view the AirPort panel, Wireless tab, have you checked "Allow Ethernet clients"?
I am wondering if I should have the express set up in one of the other "wireless mode" options such as, "participate in a WDS network"? What exactly is a WDS network anyway?
WDS is for pre-802.11n equipment. You don't want to use it unless you have to.
If I click on "internet" in Airport Utility, go to the airport express, I see that "connection sharing is set to, "Off (bridge mode)" and grayed out.
What exactly is "bridge mode".
"Bridge mode" delegates control to the "upstream" router. In your case that's what you want.
