"Printer firmware update is necessary for AirPrint function. Certain exception may apply. AirPrint functionality requires an iPad, iPhone 3GS or later, or iPod touch 3rd generation or later device running iOS 4.2 or later, and an AirPrint-enabled printer connected to the same network as your iOS device.  A printer connected to the USB port of your Mac, PC, AirPort Base Station, or Time Capsule is not supported."

  • Xbox 360 wireless adapter wont connect to Airport Express/cant find ip

    i have a time warner modem with the ethernet cable plugged into my airport express to create a wireless network in my house. my macbook and dell connect with no prob.
    the xb recognizes the airport express, shows it as connected with green bars, but when i try to log into xbox online, it says that there is no connection.
    i can plug in the ethernet cable from the xb to the airport ex and there is no problem. only when trying to use the wireless adapter.
    how can i stop this? also, how can i find my IP address?
    since the xb wouldnt connect and find my ip automatically, i tried to do it manually. when i go to terminal on my macbook and enter "ipconfig e0", i dont see an IP address.
    i have seen a lot of info on this but it mainly deals with airport extreme or those who are trying to connect to airport express with an ethernet cable.
    so if you can help me troubleshoot the wireless connection between my xb and my airport ex OR explain how i can find my IP address, i would be very grateful.
    FYI---the airport express was purchased in april, so i believe it is the new "n" model.
    thanks for all your help.

    Gary Sanborn, please share your tricks. I'm curious to know how you got it to work. I used to have the old Express and that worked just fine. The new version (n) doesn't seem to connect to xbox live. As previously stated, mine also shows "connected" and a strong green bar signal on the xbox but the text can't get passed "connected to live"... if I'm not mistaken.
    I heard about holding down the option button white selected the type of wireless connection and connecting to wireless b only. I would want to avoid this option. I don't want my express to run that slow. Please advice. Thanks in advance.
    By the way, I haven't tried it since recently upgrading to OS X 10.5.3. I wasn't sure if that affected airport's connectivity with xbox 360.

  • Why does my Windows 8.1 drop connection to AirPort Express?

    Since Windows 8.1 my Wi-fi connection to AirPort Express does this drop out every 1-4 hours all day long. It suddenly says "Limited Connectivity". My workaround is to connect to another network (my gateway for instance) and then connect to the AirPort Express again. Full connection!
    Issue: The connection will suddenly, and completely unprovoked, stop working for both internet and AirPlay over the Airport Express.
    Setup: AirPort Express with newest firmware (checked 23-03-2014), wired cable connection to gateway: Thomson TG789vn driver version 10.4.0.O.
    Connected Laptop: Asus N56VM with network adapter Intel(R) Centrino(R) Wireless-N 2230 with newest driver: 15.10.5.1 ( driver date: 31-10-2013)
    My laptop connects perfectly to all other networks and my airport express works well with my iphone, so i think it is a conflict between apple and microsoft. Please help me fix this issue.

    Apple has not offered an update for Windows since June 2012.  I think the message is clear.......Apple does not really care about Windows......but my opinion may be wrong.
    Your best bet would be to contact Apple Support and ask them about possible updates for 8.1.

  • Why would you need to connect an AirPort Express to a printer to print wirelessly when you could just use AirPrint?

    What is the point of connecting an AirPort Express to a printer when you could just use AirPrint from an iPhone?

    All you guys are mistaking the Airprint system. Wireless printing is a Misnomer. Nothing prints wirelessly. Both the printer and the computer, or i or android device have to be all connected to the same LAN. They can be connected by a wire or a WiFi signal but they all must be on the same LAN.
    Airprint is a Driverless printing system where No Specific Printer drivers have to be installed on the computer or other device. Even with the Airprint system both the printer and the device you are printing from have to be on the same LAN.

  • How to get windows 7 pc to access a printer connected to airport express

    Hi,
    I have connected an airport express to my BT home hub and created a new Wi-Fi network. I have also connected a Canon MP550 series printer to the express which I can access to print from my macboon pro. However I am unable to print from my Windows 7 SP1 laptop even if I connect using the same Wi-Fi network. Have used Bonjour and it installs the printer but still cannot print from my Win7 laptop. Any suggestions why is it happening?
    Thank you.

  • Can not stay connected to Airport express

    I have an airport exress that is less then 9 months old.  I have my internet provide wirlessely so my macbook pro picks up the signal and i share it with the airport exress.  With the AE set to bridge mode.  This was all working fine for the last 3 months, but now for some reason I can not stay connected with any of my devices wirelessly with the AE.  I try to connect with my Iphone 4s and when i click on the network to connect i never recieve a check mark on the left all it does is give me the moving circle.  I try to search the web on the phone and it will work for a second then not work for who know how long then work for a second ect.... i have hard rebooted the AE, reset network settings in my phone, reset smc and pram.  when i access the ae through airport utility on my mac the internet shows green and the AE show amber becuase it says it does not have a valid ip address.  I access the AE from my phone and the AE shows the same and the internet will go from green to amber and back.  Also it will not stay connected to the AE i try to change setting on the AE through my phone and as long as i do it quickly it works fine, but if i wait anylonger then 10-30 seconds the phone drops the AE and i have to start over even though it will pick it up again with in  a second or two.  this is the same for ipad, three iphones, dell computer, and a android phone. 

    Simply reconfigure your Airport Express to either use for airtunes only or to extend the range of the existing network. This effectively connects the Airport Express to your main wireless router as a basic access node rather than a separate router creating its own network.
    If you consult the User Guide that came with your Airport Express you'll find additional information on how to setup an Express to simply extend a local wireless network rather than function independently.

  • Recently moved and installed ATT DLS - I use their wireless router and connectted my airport express - Now I'm getting the Blue ? on some images

    Recently moved and installed ATT DLS - I use their wireless router and connectted my airport express - Now I'm getting the Blue ? on some images - and at times - videos don't load.  I've increased / deleted Cache.  Suggestions? Misconfig?  Could it be possible my configuration from MacBook to router isn't correct?
    Thanks!

    JG,
    Thanks for the info.
    Couple of questions. I found an apple support document on this topic that opened with this line:
    "AirPort Express and all AirPort Extreme base stations can use WDS. Earlier AirPort base stations can't."
    If the TC is an airport extreme base station, why can't this work to extend the network? I think I misunderstand. Here is the full article:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2044?viewlocale=en_US
    If I buy a new airport extreme, set it to wireless-n only as my main router, am I correct that my existing time capsule could be used as a bridge if plugged in upstairs?
    Final question (and that should do it), could I take this old airport express, plug it in upstairs using the ethernet connection, and just create a separate wireless network to use with a different name?
    I'd like to keep one network if possible but just kicking around short term solutions.
    Thanks again.

  • How can I print from my IPAD3 to a printer connected to Airport Express?

    How can I print from my IPAD3 to a printer connected to Airport Express? I have a HP printer and I can print from all my Windows PC and iMAC in the house. How can I print from my IPaD?

    You cannot.
    The USB port on the AirPort Express allow sharing a printer with Windows and Mac OS X, not with iOS:
    "Wireless printing over USB requires a compatible printer and OS X v10.2.7 or later, Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Windows 7":
    http://www.apple.com/airportexpress/#wireless-printing
    "AirPrint-enabled printers  connected using Bluetooth or shared through a USB port of a Mac, PC, AirPort Base Station, or Time Capsule are not supported":
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
    The HP ePrint app also does not provide such functionality:
    Can I print from the HP ePrint mobile app using USB or Bluetooth?
    No. You can only print directly to supported HP printers on a local wireless network.

  • After upgrading to OS 10.8.1 I can no longer scan from my Canon MP240 printer when it is connected to Airport Express.

    I can no longer scan from printer (Canon Pixma MP240) when it is connected to Airport Express, although printing is no affected. However, when connected directly to MBP scanning works fine. I have tried all the standard remedies; reinstalling drivers, resetting printer system, selecting sharing options, but no luck. Previous to Mountain Lion this function worked fine. Any ideas how to regain this capability?
    Thanks,
    J.

    I'm almost completely certain that the scanning feature worked before the update. Having said that though, I don't scan a great deal and it may be the case that when I have done, the printer was directly connected to the MBP. However, since I have a laptop it's far more logical that I would have had the printer connected to Airport Express for reasons of portability so I can't really see that I would have had the printer connected directly to the laptop. Besides this, I have no memory of having this problem previously. Therefore, I don't think my memory is to blame although of course, if it were I'd have no way of knowing!

  • Itunes starts/stops when connecting to Airport Express

    When I try and play songs via my wireless laptop, the music will stop/start as if it is trying to connect to my airport express. But, if I play the music from my desktop that is connected directly to my wireless router, it will play just fine (no pauses).
    I have a Linksys 4-port Wireless G Router (model WRT54G).
    Need some advice on how to get my laptop to play music without starting or stopping

    It appears iTunes is indeed looking for speakers connected via airport express, but, as your router isn't an airport product, it doesn't succeed.
    Try turning off the airtunes function in the iTunes preferences.

  • HP Laserjet 1020 connected to Airport Express - Can't Print from Windows XP

    Hi,
    I have been using Airport Express for almost a year now, and it works fine with my old LaserJet 1200 connected to it, meaning that BOTH my ThinkPad(WinXP) and PowerBook(OSX 10.3) prints off the printer nicely. Last week I bought a LaserJet 1020 to replace the old printer. Now I can only print off my Mac, and not the ThinkPad.
    Here are some additional information:
    - Airport Express has been updated with latest updates.
    - Using newest printer driver available from the HP website.
    - New printer works when connected to ThinkPad via USB.
    - New printer works when connected to Airport Express and printing performed using my PowerBook.
    Therefore, My conclusion is that Airport Express and Printer is working just fine, and that it's just my ThinkPad not being configured correctly. (Although at the back of my head I am guessing that just MAYBE it's the Airport Express not accepting a different printer)
    This is what I did to install the printer from my ThinkPad to work with Airport Express (which is not working):
    1. Add a printer
    2. Local printer attached to computer (no auto detect)
    3. Selected existing TCP/IP port 10.0.1.1
    4. Selected my new printer driver
    5. Finish
    I also tried a few things like:
    - Deleting the TCP/IP port and creating it again before installing the new printer again.
    - Off both airport express and printer and on again after about 10sec.Airport was on first, and after the LED turn green, printer was turned on and USB plugged into airport.
    - Restarting my ThinkPad.
    I have tried everything that I can think of, and nothing worked... hence this posting to get professional help.

    Hi,
    You might want to download and install bonjour for windows to your Thinkpad it is how I got my roomates XP laptop to print on AX.

  • Printer connected to Airport Express USB port won't come online after firmware 7.6 upgrade. I've tried backing up to 7.5.2, but it still shows offline. It is a Canon iP4600 printer and I'm running OS 10.6.8. I've powered everything down and still no go.

    Printer connected to Airport Express USB port won't come online after firmware 7.6 upgrade. I've tried backing up to 7.5.2, but it still shows offline. It is a Canon iP4600 printer and I'm running OS 10.6.8. I've powered everything down and still no go. I've connected the printer directly to my MacBook's USB port and it works fine. Any suggestions?

    I have an iP4500, which I assume is quite similar to your model.
    I had to reset the printing system to get things printing again. Only takes a few minutes and no problems at all since I did it a week ago or so.
    Plug the printer into the USB port on the Express and restart the printer.
    Open System Preferences (gear icon on the dock) and then open Print and Fax
    Right-Click in the printer area on the left and select Reset Printing System
    Then click the + (plus) button at the bottom of the printer list to install the printer again.

  • Can I connect the Airport Express to a TV and watch the screen of my Mac on the TV?

    Could I know if I can connect the Airport Express to the TV and watch the screen of my Mac or iPad or iPhone... On the TV?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    That's not possible with an AirPort Express. However, what you can do is to use an Apple TV if you want to mirror your iPhone, iPad and Mac onto the TV, being all of them connected to the AirPort Express. Read > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5209?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
