My airport express and utility won't connect....

I'm receiving errors when trying to connect either Airfoil or Aiport Utility.
Airfoil keeps telling me that I need to turn it on.
Aiport Utility recognizes that the express it there but yet won't connect in order for me to configure. It gives me the error message "Make Sure your Apple Wi-Fi base station is plugged in and in range of your computer or connected via Ethernet and try again. (-6753)"
I've restarted the Express, I've hard reset it. I've reinstalled the Airport Utility and still no luck. I've even tried connecting through itunes and it won't connect. Itunes recognizes that my express is there it just won't connect.
I've upgraded the aiport utility to 5.5.3 and the Airport Express to 7.6.
Is anyone experiencing this problem and if so, have you resolved it? After doing extensive searches online it doesn't seem that anyone has figured this out and possibly a problem with the firmware!
Let me know please!

My airport express 802.11g won't connect to my mac mini

Hi
I have recently purchased an Airport Express 802.11g and I can't get it to connect to my Mac mini. It shows up in the wifi menu at the top of the screen but when I click on it it says
This version of AirPort Utility doesn’t support this base station. Go to AirPort Service and Support for more information.
Can anyone help?

Have you tried restarting the system? Many times that will resolve the issue?
If you are still having problems do you have a USB mouse that you can use to open the Bluetooth preferences and then either reconnect to the mouse, or delete the pairing, then reconnect to the mouse?

I am on my 2nd airport express. It won't connect to the internet anymore. How long do they typically last?

I have an airport express. It hasn't been used in almost a year. It was working perfectly then. I tried to connect it to the internet and it won't connect. I've done a reset. This is my 2nd one. It seems that every time I move, i have to get another one. Anyone else have this problem?

Hi Melissa518,
If you are continuing to have issues with your Airport Express after a reset, you may want to try a Factory Default Reset as outlined in the following article:
Apple Support: Resetting an AirPort Base Station or AirPort Time Capsule FAQ

ITunes 7 - Airport Express not visible, won't connect to remote speakers

I upgraded to iTunes 7, and now my Aiport Express does not show up when I open either the Aiport Admin Utility, or the Airport Express Assistant. The remote speakers I have do not show up in iTunes. Evenything worked perfectly on the previous version of iTunes. Anyone have any idea?
My wireless LAN (which is enabled through the Airport Express) is still working fine.
Thanks!

hmmmmm.
i'm not trying to get rid of you here, but it might be worth also checking-in/reposting over at the Airport for Windows forum. when Airtunes things get sticky, i generally defer to iFelix or RJ in WI, and they spend a lot more time over there than they do here.
(traffic is so heavy in here at the moment that this thread might be buried out of sight before an AirTunes guru gets to see you.)
here's a link through to the Airport for Windows forum:

Can see Airport Express, but iTunes won't connect and more..

I'm running Mac OSX 10.4.2 on an Aluminium PowerBook G4, connected to an Airport Extreme Base Station - which can use the internet etc easily. I have an Airport Express, which can be seen & changed in Airport Admin, and can be seen in iTunes - but can not be connected to in iTunes - it tries for about 30 seconds, and then gives up, not even an error message? I'm not sure if it's a related issue, buit an old iBook running OSX 10.3.9, connects to the same Airport Express, no problems. But the PowerBook, whilst it can see the iBook, won't connect to the iBook via Airport - it tells me it is not operational, or something.
Can anyone think of anything that may fix the problem?
Thanks in advance.

Is this a new problem on this Powerbook - or has it never worked? While there are many (and some very obscure) causes for this problem, one of the more common causes is firewall software of some sort. This also includes applications designed to monitor outgoing network data (like spyware) on a Mac, like "Little Snitch".

I have a 3g hspa dongle.I want to know that my dongle can be used with Apple Airport Express utility.I want to connect my dongle into Apple Airport Express utility and share the internet with my ipad,ipod and iphone.I want to know how to do this?

Hi Bob, just wondering if i use a Ethernet USB adapter, connect USB end to the 3G dongle and the ethernet end, with a small ethernet cable to the WAN port of the airport express, is it still possible to use the internet in the dongle through airport express?

Can't find Airport Express via wireless or wired connection.

I've run across this topic in this forum and a lot of others and nothing I've found has helped resolve the issue. It seems like the one definitive answer I found was to return it to the store, but I'm hoping to avoid that so I figured I'd try once more.
Running Windows XP and using a linksys Wireless-G network card. When I first got the Airport Express I was able to connect to it but then I had some issues with my cable network connection and had to reset everything. Since then I haven't been able to connect to it, and currently I can't find it using the Base Station. Tried resetting it to factory defaults about 10x and I'm still stuck on blinking yellow. I tried connecting it directly with a network cable and even then my computer can't seem to find it.
I tried turning off my firewall, reinstalling the Airport Utility, connecting to the IP address 10.0.1.1 using the "Configure Other..." box and no luck.
Any suggestions?
Thanks much.

The issue is within the network configuration of the Airport Express. As you mentioned, all hardwired devices can use AirPlay but all wireless devices can't.
Normally, the Airport Express will wirelessly join your existing network, and Airplay will work with all devices. Any reason why you have your Airport Express connected to your router via ethernet?

My airport express 802.11n won't restart?

I bought an apple airport express from best buy last week. When I tried to set it up, my macbook pro couldn't find it. It was open box and didn't come with a cd for the airport utility, but I just got the macbook about two or three weeks ago and it came with already installed. I hit rescan a few times, and still nothing. I looked up how to reset it and I did a hard reset. The computer found it. I set it up to join my existing network. It successfully updated and said that it was restarting. An error occurred and thats where I am stuck. Since then I have reset it multiple times, hard reset and factory. On top of it, I can't even connect to my network without it now! Someone please help!

Actually what I would recommend at this point is to return it to Best Buy for a replacement or refund. Then get yourself a new one directly from Apple.

My Apple Airport express loses connection

We have a 3-4 months old Apple airport express. When it works, it works really well.
We use it for streaming shows etc on the television via Apple tv and obviously to go on the internet.
We have 1 iphone 5s and 1 iphone 6, 2 iPad Air, 1 MB Air and 1 MB pro Retina so all our devices are pretty much Apple.
The express router is connected straight to the internet cable from the wall, so there is no router in between or anything. I can always connect with the router, but internet is not always pooring through. In other words, im always logged on the wifi, but it seems as something is often blocking the internet. It definitely has something to do with the router because I can be on the internet via the router on the macbook air while both iPads won't work.
I often solve the problem by opening network preference - assist me - continue - log on the net again - type in my password for the computer and then it works again. But this is obviously not a sustainable solution. And this is also not an option on the iPads, so when it doesnt work on the iPads it just doenst work... :-/
What is the issue?

No one?

Erro 3256 using Apple Airport Express with Windows XP Pro SP2

I am running Windows XP Pro SP2 and am trying to stream my music to the Livng room from my PC in my office. I use an Apple Airport Express. I am running iTunes 8.0.1.11 on the computer that isn't getting the signal through. Now please read the entire message before you decide it is the version of iTunes that I am using.
It was getting through just fine on my Denon 3300 but since I switched to a Denon 3802 the signal is not geting through from my main computer. It works fine from the computer sittng adjacent to it.
I also have music on a 2nd computer and am running iTunes 7.6.2.9 on it. The music gets to the living room stereo just fine using the same Apple Airport Express. The signal strength on the computer that is successful in streaming the music to the Apple Airport Express is "excellent". On the computer that is not successful, the signal strenth is "low". Now these computers are adjacent to each other and the signal has to go through the same wall and
exactly the same distance over the same network.
How can it be "excellent" on one and "low" on the other? Is it just a matter of signal strength? How do I fix that?
I keep getting "unknown error occurred 3256"
Help please. Do I have to do something to the network? or???
Remember I am a Windows user, not a Mac user. I do not have a "Configure IPv6" setting anywhere in my preferences. That must be a Mac thing.

Got the error message 3256 after downloaded latest itunes version 8.xx.
After days of reading logs and bullentin boards, uninstalling, hard resets,firewalls experiments, etc, I found solution for me. Following firmware upgrade to airport express solved. When you go to Apple download center and search for airport revisions only the MAc version pops up. However they do have this one for windows. Give it a try. Good luck.

Whats the range of apple airport express

whats the range of apple airport express.

The effective range is about 150 feet or approximately 50 meters when there are no obstructions in the signal path between the AirPort Express and the wireless device receiving the signal.
But, walls, ceilings and other obstructions absorb a great deal of the signal in a home, so it is not possible to predict how the AirPort Express might perform in your home until you try it out in your home.
In general, you would not want the signal to have to negotiate moving through more than a few walls. A ceiling, because it is much thicker than a wall, will absorb a good deal more of the signal.

Apple AirPort Express Base Station with 802.11n - MB321LL/A. How to set it up to my new iMac

Community:
How do you set up an
Apple AirPort Express Base Station with 802.11n - MB321LL/A how do you set up on Mac running on OS X 10.9.4?
Please advise
Fmsalazar

Apple did say it was important.
If the units do not show up in the airport utility then you must set it correctly to link-local.
Steps for OS X Lion or Mountain Lion
This can happen if IPv6 has been disabled. To enable IPv6 for your network interface:
Choose Apple menu () > System Preferences, and then click Network.
If a lock icon appears in the lower-left corner, click it and enter your admin name and password to unlock the pane.
Click your network service (Wi-Fi or Ethernet) in the list, and then click Advanced.
Click the TCP/IP tab.
Choose Link-local only from the Configure IPv6 pop-up menu.
Click OK.
Click Apply.
AirPort base station not seen or "An unexpected error occurred" appears in AirPort Utility 6.3
Apple rep says the same.
Re: Unexpected error when connecting Airport Express A1264 to Airport Utility 6.3.1
I am searching as I saw it in a thread today where a person had issues. (No contribution from me in the thread but found that was the issue).
It is kind of a fail safe.. since auto can end up with any setting.. and it will depend on the setting of ipv6 in the Airport Router if it works properly in the computer.. setting it to the correct value is one step in sorting out problems when people get in a mess.

About My New Apple Airport Express 802.11n Wi-Fi Router

Yesterday on Saturday after i finshed work I Went out & Bought a New Apple Airport Express 802.11n Wi-Fi Router for My Apple iMac Computer & for My Apple iPhone 5 & Apple TV & I Set it up & everything & everything worked out well so i had a question about it, that Green Solid New Light on Apple Airport Express is it suppose to always stay on even if my Apple iMac Computer is Sleeping like other Wi-Fi Routers??? cause i'm wondering cause it looks Very Nice & White & Shiny & New & i don't really want it to Fail on me cause i do like it & it does not take up a lot of space witch is a good thing so just had to ask???
how many years will My Apple Airport Express Wi-Fi Router will last for since it's as Big an an Apple TV, just was wondering if this thing is really strong & stuff to like hold out for years time maybe???
will My Apple Airport Express Wi-Fi Router Software ever get Outdated like my other Wi-Fi Router??? & they stopped making that Belkin Wireless n Router that i had & they stopped Updating it's Software & then The Software became not usable at all so I Had to go out & buy an Apple Airport Express 802.11n Wi-Fi Router.

Hi Byron,
on the first question: take a look at your manual; I have a different router, and on it the light stays on all the time, but I don't know if the Airport works the same way. On mine, it simply means that it is on and ready in case you need it. You should worry when there is no light, LOL.
Second question: with electronics, can't tell at all how long they will be good for. They are made to be compatible with a certain range of devices and software - and will be updated for a while when those devices and softwares are updated. After a while, too many new routers are available with too many new features that are compatible with new devices and softwares, so it's not worth updating the old ones. It's a question of money - they don't want to give you free updates forever, they want you to buy a new piece of equipment.
Third: yes, it will at some point. Everything technology/electronics related is outdated - some very quickly: you buy a new one and the next week you see an ad for a "new, improved" one. Same principle: they want you to buy again.
