Why can't iTunes for Windows see airport express 1st Gen

I have a 1st Generation Airport Express that was working prior to the most recent update of iTunes for Windows 7-64bit. The device is located on an access point router. My PC is conneced to a 2nd Access Point Router. I have tried multiple configurations of the AE with no success. I even tried installing on the the same access point as the PC with no luck. I have also tried connecting with the Firewall disabled and added itunes.exe to the list of programs ignored by my security software.
The Airport Utility can find the AE and I use Airfoil to stream to the AE for other applications and it works just fine. Even with iTunes. I'm listening to iTunes using Airfoil to the AE as I type this.
The more I use iTunes the more I hate it. My iPad and iPhone cannot use the Remote app to connect to iTunes either so I am sure its all related.
Any suggestions would be appreciated:
Below is a more detailed explanation of my network.
Primary Internet rounter/modem is for uVerse.
3 secondary routers configured as access points - 1 Linksys WNDR3700, 1 Cisco AE4200, and 1 Cisco AE4500 (all on different floors).
The AE4500 is connected to the uVerse Router
The AE4200 and WNDR3700 ares connected to the AE4500
The Airport Express is connected via ethernet with no wireless to the AE4500.
I need a network genius to figure this out!

Seems to be working now.

Why can't iTunes for Windows burn two discs at once?

Is there a way to get around this? I have many playlists I want to burn for car listening and only using one drive with one burn at a time is time consuming. I've heard that the Mac version can burn two discs at once and I wonder why the Windows version has been neglected in that capability. Any help or insight would be appreciated.

I have never heard that the Mac version can burn two discs at once. The Windows version definitely cannot. If you would like to make a suggestion to Apple you can use this link: http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html However, I assume you are aware that the iTunes burning capability has not been enhanced in years.

Thank you for you answer, but it isn't heart of the problem. The problem is that I don't have choose iTunes version manually, it's happens automatically, and start downloading iTunes for Windows 32-bit.

Airport Express 1st Gen dropping Time Capsule 4th Gen when being used to extend signal

I have an older Airport Express 1st Gen and recently purchased a Time Capsule 4th Gen. The firmware for both products is updated to the latest version. When I set up the Airport Express to extend the signal for the Time Capsule, it works great at first, connects and the status light turns green. But after a while, the AE drops the "extension" and the light goes amber. I have also heard this is a problem from a Macintosh expert at the Genius Bar. Has anyone solved this problem?

Try using a wireless name that is short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric on the TC.. I would even set different names for 2.4ghz and 5ghz..
So for example.. TC24ghz and TC5ghz meet our requirement.
Use WPA2 Personal security not wpa-wpa2 as that leads to issues.
Use password that is 10-20 characters pure alphanumeric.. can be mixed upper and lower case plus numerials.
Fix the wireless channel of the TC..
Now see if it makes a stable extend..
Always remember the Express must not be so far away the signal is poor.. it should get good signal itself so it can repeat to the other clients.

Apple TV 3rd Gen no longer sees Airport Express 1st gen in Airplay after update

Apple TV 3rd gen was connected to AirPort Express 1st gen via WiFi, drove a video device via HDMI
and sent audio to the AirPort using Airplay and selecting the AirPort Express under Speakers.
I could adjust the volume with the AppleTV remote.
Apple TV was stored unused for a while.
After powering on yesterday, I ran the update.
Now Apple TV is connected to the Airport Express via WiFi
but Airport Express doesn't show in AirPlay settings.
I can still use AirPlay from my MacBook running Snow Leopard.
There are no updates available for the AirPort

Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
Restart your mobile device.

Setup airport express 1st gen

Hello there,
I have the first Airport Express, 1st generation and since 10.8 I needed to use the old version of airport utility (ver 5.6) to configure it, since the Airport Utility version 6.3.2 doesn't suport it (shame).
But now, after upgrading to Mavericks not even the 5.6 is working anymore.
How do I access and configure my perfectly functional Airport Express then?
Is it only me with the feeling that Macs nowdays looks more and more like Windows??

Apple sold a version of the AirPort Express long before they introduced what is known as a 1st Generation model, so as you might imagine, there is a great deal of confusion about which version of the Express is which.
Please look on the side of the AirPort Express that you have and post back with the Model No that you see there so we will know exactly what you have.
In order to configure the Expess to "extend" the wireless network provided by the TG582n device that you have, you will need to know 3 things about the wireless network that the TG582n device provides.
1) Wireless network name
2) Wireless network password
3) Exact settings for wireless security
Most users know 1) and 2) regarding their wireless network, but you will also need to know 3) to be able to configure the Expess to work correctly with your network. If you do not know exactly what type of wireless security the TB582n is using, it will not be possible to configure the Express with the correct settings.
In that case, you will need to be able to access the settings of the TB582n to find out what exact setting that it is using for the wireless security on the network.
What version of AirPort Utility will you be using to configure the Express? If you are not sure, open AirPort Utility and click on the AirPort Utility menu at the upper left corner of the screen and then click About AirPort Utility. Post back with that version number.

Windows 7 - iTunes doesn't see AirPort Express but AirPort Utility does..

iTunes 10.1.1.4 running on Windows 7 can not detect my AirPort Express with 7.5.2 firmware. My iPod Touch running on the same wireless router detects and will play music through the AirPort Express.
iTunes preferences are set to detect remotes (iPod Remote works to control iTunes) and the AirPort Express. Also verified that the Windows 7 firewall is set to all Bonjour to pass all UDP ports on home networks.
Need some help getting iTunes 10 to detect the AirPort Express...

I have since done a reset to factory condition and tried again and it seems to be working now. I unplugged it from the power held down the reset button and plugged it back in continuing to hold down the reset. I think you have to hold it down for nearly 10 seconds until the light flashes green 4 times and then release the button. Then try scanning for it again. It still took a little longer than I expected for it to find it after that but once it did I have not had any more problems.
At least with it; my sister is on windows and that is another story!

ITunes does not see airport express speakers but airfoil does

iTunes 6.0.2 and AE 6.3
iTunes does not see the AE speakers but Airfoil does.
Have restarted AE to no avail.

Having a similar problem. iTunes 6.0.2 "sees" the Airport Express but cannot select the speakers associated with the Airport. iTunes 6.0.1 works on a Mac Mini with the same Express. Tried to re-load the system from the CDs but iTunes 6.0.2 still on

Why can't I connect to my airport extreme(4th gen.) after reseting the password

Please perform a Factory Default Reset to clear the old, and possibly corrupted settings on the AirPort Extreme to get it back to original settings. Then, reconfigure the device again using the passwords of your choice.

Why Can't iphone 4 print to airport express connected printer?

And it won't be available in IOS 4.3 by the looks of it.. Iam I the only one thinks this is redonkulus?

the way printers connected to airport express works is that the computer install a special driver for the printer connected on the usb of the express
this not being an option on iso devices
apple made airprint so devices which supported the std would be able to print from any ios device
it's an open std which as far as I know apple don't charge anybody for supporting
the alternative is apple adding drivers to all known printers from osx to ios and that is not plausible for storage space and testing of the drivers

Can I use Airport Express (1st gen.) as a wired access point to my wifi Network

Guys
I'm using 10.8.4 with the older 6.3 airport utility. I have a Airport Express A1084 (1st. Gen).
I'm trying to use it, connected to my wireless network, but have a wired ethernet cable from the Airport Express connected to a device. I tried connecting via wire to another laptop to access the web and it doesn't work.
Any ideas if I can even do this, or do I just buy a new Express Airport. I just want to extend the network using my wireless to a wired device, but don't want to run a cable, because of the distance.
Thank you
John

Bob, I hope you can help me too. I have 4th generation (? - the flat, square model that was recently replaced) Time Capsule/Airport that I bought to extend my Verizon DSL dry loop modem/wireless signal througout the house and to the guest house. I now know that it cannot be achieved due to Apple negligence in informing customers that the capsule will only extend from another apple airport product.
My question:
Should I connect it via ethernet to my DSL modem and create a new network, but use the SAME network name, passcodes, etc? Will that Strengthen my existing wireless signal or will both machines butt heads and duke it out, so to speak?
B/C, I did have two separate networks going for about a year, different names for each network, and suddenly, the wireless part of the Verizon DSL modem died, and Verizon replaced the entire modem with the Actiontec modem. So I am concerned that reconnecting the Time Capsule/Airport may damage teh Verizon modem, if that is why just the wireless part of the previous modem failed.
Suffice it to say, am very disappointed in the Time Capsule/Airport. It replaced an older, bigger Western Digital external hard drive that was so easy to use and reliable; am still using it, but it has no wireless signal boost capability, so I purchased the Time Capsule/Airport.
Thank you for your help.

Airport Express 1st gen A1264 can't be seen in Airport Utility 6.3.2 in OS X 10.10.2

I have acquired a 1st gen 802.11n airport express base station and I am trying to set it up through Airport utility but no matter what I try It won't recognize the device. I am using a 2014 MBP w retina display, 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7, won't be get picked up on my iPad Air 2 either.

Power up the AirPort Express for a few minutes
Hold in the reset button on the Express for 10 seconds, then release
Allow a full minute for the Express to restart to a slow, blinking amber light status
On your MBP, click the WiFi icon at the top of the screen
Look for a listing of New AirPort Base Station
Click on AirPort Express to start the setup wizard
If you are using an iPad, tap Settings on the Home Screen
Tap WiFi
Look for a setting of Setup a New Base Station
Tap on AirPort Express to start the setup wizard
If you have already tried this a few times, and the AirPort Express does not appear, then the AirPort Express is defective.

Setup airport express (1st gen) as range extender wired

So here's the situation.
I have a 1st gen airport express, and I want to use it as a range extender for my wireless network (uses a technicolor TG582n).
I am planning on connecting the airport express with ethernet cable to the remote location where I would like it to be a range extender.
I also want it to be an airplay speaker for the computer connected to the router.
I know I can only configure this device with an old version of Airport Utility, but aside from that I cannot get this to work.
Does anyone know if it is possible, and how I would go about doing it?
Many thanks

Airport Express (1st gen) and BT Infinity

I've just upgraded to BT Infinity and am trying to connect my 1st generation Airport Express to the Openreach modem in place of the BT HomeHub 3.
I'm connecting over PPPoE using username: [email protected], and a space for the password and I've entered the primary and secondary DNS server details from the BT HomeHub. However, the AE won't connect to the internet and reports a PPPoE error.
I've connected my MacBook Pro directly to the modem and these settings work fine. Likewise, I've tried this with the latest generation Airport Express and it works fine too. However, because of where the modem connections are in my apartment I would really like to use the 1st generation AE plugged directly into the wall (it's just a lot tidier).
Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong? Or is the 1st generation Airport Express incompatible?

These are the settings in my AE, you may just want to check they are all set...
Airport Utility/Select Device/Edit
Internet Tab
PPPoE
Account Name [email protected]
one blank space (tap spacebar!) for password
Service Name - Your choice
Disconnect if Idle - Never
Primary DNS - leave blank for BT DNS Servers or enter others manually (OpenDNS, Google DNS etc)
Secondary DNS - same as above
Wireless - If using Wireless, ensure you use WPA2 Personal (others can effect security/speed)
NetworkRouter Mode - DHCP and NAT
Tick Enable NAT Port Mapping Protocol

Problem with Airport Express (1st gen) and Mavericks?

Hello,
I still have an older 1st gen Airport Express (model A1264) and now with Mavericks it isn't working at all. The Airport Utility app on my Mac can't even find or connect with it. The same with the iOS app. It worked fine before. I can't even update the firmware (either no download available or other available downloads are too old and won't install). Is there a solution or do I need to update my whole device?
Thanks,
Paul

As a last resort, try a factory default reset on the AirPort Express as follows:
Power off the AirPort Express
Wait a minute
Hold in the reset button first, and keep holding it in for another 8-10 seconds while you simultaneously plug the Express back in to power
Release the reset button after the hold period and allow a full minute for the Express to restart to a slow, blinking amber light status
On an iPhone or iPad home screen....
Tap Settings
Tap WiFi
Look for a heading of Setup a New AirPort Base Station. If it appears.....
Tap on AirPort Express just below the heading to start the configuration process on the Express again
If you try several factory default resets, and the AirPort Express does not appear under the heading of Setup a New AirPort Base Station, the Express most likely is defective and will need to be replaced.
