• 12.3.3.17 iTunes could not connect to devices AirPlay (Airport Express)

  After the update to iTunes 12.3.3.17 I can connect is more to Apple Airport Express.

  I updated iTunes to 12.3.3.17 on both computers:

  1. Windows 7 64-bit SP1 / iTunes 12.3.3.17 64-bit

  2 Windows 10 64 - bit / iTunes 12.3.3.17 64-bit

  On the Windows 10 computer, iTunes can connect and play all three Airport Express.  An iPod Touch can also flow to each of them.

  After the upgrade to 12.3.3.17 on the Windows 7 SP1 computer, iTunes can see all three Airport Express and they are not greyed out.  But when an any of them are selected in the dialog of speaker, iTunes tries to connect and after 30 seconds results in the error "an error occurred when connecting to the device AirPlay"xxx". The network connection timed out' and the selection is then grayed out.

  The network card on this PC, the router, and all three Airport Express everything seems to work properly as I can deliver on all of them using software third 'wing' with other applications as the source.  I can also control iTunes on the PC wirelessly from iPod with the Remote app.

  I just can no longer spread to one of the Express from the airport directly from iTunes after the 12.3.3.17 update.

  Any thoughts?

  Well, problem solved (mostly) by a lot of trial and error and it turns out be a problem of WF on the UDP ports must be open for Hello.  It was a bit of a surprise, because the Airfoil program (third party utility AirPlay) uses also Hello (that works).

  The Windows Firewall has a rule entry of inbound traffic for Hello to port 5353 UDP.  Changing the rule to allow all Ports (UDP) does the job.  So I studied what UDP ports were actually necessary for the Hello and Airplay and amended the rule again, this time replacing all Ports with these specific UDP port numbers: 554 (1900), 5289 5298, 5350, 5351, 5353, 49159, 49163

  However, that did not yet work so I ended up coming back to the all Ports configuration.

  If someone uses the firewall native Windows (preferably Windows 7, but probably the same for 8 and 10), I would be interested to know what UDP ports allows your Windows Hello firewall.

  Control Panel > Windows Firewall > advanced settings > inbound rules > Hello

  I had certainly not changed firewall settings before this update to iTunes (and AirPlay worked just hours before) and know not why the update seems to have changed the Windows Firewall settings, but that helps to explain why the Windows 10 computer worked fine after the update, because she was using the McAfee Security Suite firewall.

  Thank you!

• Network error extend w / Airport Express (7.6.7)

  I see on various discussion forums that there is a problem with the firmware 7.6.7 for Airport Express, it generates an error when you try to select the device to extend a network rather than join it. Currently mine is set up for these, and I can't change it to extend the network instead. Again, forums, I have read it seems to be a bug in the firmware 7.6.7.

  I tried downgrading the firmware to one of older versions who apparently always worked to expand a network (7.6.1 and 7.6.3) but they cannot be installed on my device as it comes with 7.6.7. Any advice? Anyone else see this problem?

  The Airport Express will be only "extend" a wireless network is provided by another Apple AirPort router.  We will make sure that your 'main' router is an Apple product and confirm on what model of airport number you may have.

• Loss intermittent connectivity... Airport express router or modem problem?

  Airport express intermittent loss of connectivity?

  Not much information to go here.

  Please provide at least the following details:

  • What exact model of the AirPort Express model do you have?
  • What is an intermittent loss of connectivity? The Express, iPhone, another thing?
  • This working before and just started happening OR if this has always been a problem?
  • Did you do the upgrades of firmware or software recently, when this started to happen?
  • What have you tried so far, to solve this problem?

• Old Airport Express lost after reset of the router, the connection cannot be seen/accessed

  the train:

  -Mid 2009 Macbook Pro, OS Yosemite airport 6.3.5 10.10.5, utility

  -Existing wifi network via a former Ubiquiti AC wifi or router which gets internet radio antenna on the roof of the local ISP.

  -old (1st gen.) A1084 Airport Express used only as a customer to listen to the music of the said Macbook.

  I am a musician who has been using my old AEX to listen to the music and the recording via Airplay and Airfoil for my Roland onstage for years without problem. I don't remember how I initially put in place, but I think it's as a customer only... IE, it broadcast as its own wireless network, or extend my network wifi etc, I just use it for listening to music.

  Well, a week earlier, a disgruntled rogue ex-my local ISP hacked their radio tower and all the customer routers turned into useless bricks (and also all our wifi network names changed to a name that begins with "mother" and ends by "-ers", but that's another story).

  Local ISP technicians have managed to get my router all re - set up and working, but I had to reconfigure my wireless devices (example: wifi printer) from scratch to be able to connect again.

  The tenacious hold on is this old Airport Express.

  I try to use the instructions found online to get connected again, but nothing does.

  Yes, I tried pressing the Reset button for 10 seconds, etc... He just goes at once orange flashing or sometimes solid orange light, and don't see the Airport utility. I tried to plug its ethernet port to the router's LAN port to see if the Airport utility, would see no change, Airport utility requires no base stations found. It has no Airport icon in my menu bar and no Airplay icon in any relevant application such as iTunes.

  Remember that in past I was able to reset/reconnect after network changes, it seems to me (I don't remember how). BTW, its location is located a few feet from the router, in order to hang it up through ethernet is easy if need be.

  Once again, I only want to not to listen to the music and the tracking records of my Macbook. Roland aren't in a convenient place for an electrician. As you can tell the age of my stuff, I'm a starving musician, don't want to have to buy something new.

• Can I use Airplay with an Airport Express station and a MacBook Air without going through a WAN connection?

  I want to set up my MacBook Air and an Airport Express so I can use iTunes and AirPlay to connect wireless to the AirPort Express Terminal and connected powered speakers to listen to the music in my iTunes library. Is this possible? I don't want to connect to an existing wireless network to do this. I want that this configuration to work wherever I am regardless of the availability of an existing WiFi network. I want a direct wireless connection between the MacBook Air and the Airport Express. Can anyone help with this?

  Thanks for your help in a confusing question.

  Yes, it will work.

  You must configure the Express in router mode... the EXTENDED network of the give a static IP address and ignore the problems. You will get several questions... because the network is internet-facing. They can all be ignored... This is how it is.

  You can also use a static IP configuration. I use this on a TC, but the same configuration on an Express might work better than router. It can be a delicate touch of the installation. So after some screenshots if you are having problems.

• is connectable peripheral wps to the Airport express

  I have a wps camera and a media player that is connected to my network. I want to buy the Airport express just because airplay. can I connect my wps to airport express devices?

  Yes, you can, assuming that the AirPort Express is set up to create a wireless network. This means that it must connect to your router wirelessly existing using wired Ethernet fixed, permanent and be configured to use the same wireless network name and password as your 'main' network

  

• Problems connecting to an AirPort Express, which already extends another Express.

  Hey everybody, I just want to know if it is possible for an Airport Express to connect to an OTHER Airport Express which is already expanding an Airport Extreme.

  Post edited by: Kas1302

  It is possible for the Express to connect to another Express which is the extension of the network already... BUT... the 'last' Express will not extend the network once again, if that's what you're really asking here.

  This is because Apple doesn't allow the wireless signal to be extended only once, not two.

  It would seem that the last Exrress is the extension of the network, but it is not.  It is 'join' the wireless network, and when he "joined", it doesn't provide any additional wireless signal coverage.  However, the last Express could still work for AirPlay, or a USB printer remotely.

  Feature of "extend" Apple works as the hub and the spokes of a wheel.  The main router is the 'hub', and an Extender would be located at the end of "sticks". As such, he communicates directly to the main router.  You can have multiple devices, the expansion of the network at the end of the other rays, but each Extender must communicate directly with the main router.

• Using an Airport Express to listen to music - ethernet cable or not?

  My wife - who bought me an Airport Express 802.11n Wi - Fi for Christmas - was reassured in a certified store to which he would have a wireless connection to my existing wifi to stream spotify on my stereo, but I could not set up like that. According to Apple's Support, the Airport Express must be connected to a modem via an ethernet cable to work, which totally contradicts the advice she was given. This will not work for me - the stereo is in a completely different room for the modem.

  Who is right?

  I can't find clear indications on the web.

  Thank you very much.

  A "modem" , it's just that... a device that connects to the service of your Internet service provider to another router with a wireless Ethernet cable. "modem" does not any signal wireless... only an Ethernet signal.

  A ' modem/router ' or the 'bridge' is a device that combines the functions of a modem and router wireless in one package. It provides a signal of wireless network for other wireless devices can connect to the Internet wirelessly.  The modem/router or gateway also provides several Ethernet ports... usually 3 or 4... for devices to connect in this way as an option.

  An AirPort Express can only connect to a modem using a wired Ethernet cable connection.

  An AirPort Express can connect to a modem/router or Gateway using either a wired Ethernet connection or a wireless connection.

  Who is right?

  It all depends on if you have a modem... .or you have a modem/router, also called a gateway.

  If you do not know what you... then post back with the number of brand and model of the device that you call your modem... and we will try to find what it is you have.

• iOS 10: no airtime over to Airport express?

  I noticed that in iOS10 my iPhone looking explicitly for 'Apple TV' reflect the iPhone.

  Which seems to mean I lost only audio streaming to Airport Express, that I have a couple of in my house just for that purpose. A iOS10 made my setup Airport Express obsolete or y at - it another way other than the control center?

  Solved. You can broadcast on audio devices only in the music game open to the current song app and on the bottom there is a button of airtime. The airtime on the control center became reserved for the full iPhone mirrored.

• Netflix in WMC gives internet connection error, started yesterday, works in the browser

  Original title: WMC-Netflix's internet connection error

  I tried to use Netflix in Vista Windows Media Center (WMC) last night and got an error. The error says I need to check your internet connection.  I checked the connection and it worked.  Also in IE8 I logged into my Netflix account and released a video of my Instant queue.  This proves that my internet connection and a Netflix account working. I tried to re-login to Netflix of WMC, but once again the message on checking the internet connection appears.  I restarted the PC, but that did not fix the problem. Netflix I uninstalled and reinstalled, no not yet fixed.  Can anyone help?  I've been a happy user of WMC-Netflix for several months (so far).  Notice, 2 security patches Windows automatically installed yesterday before I tried to use Netflix.

  I just noticed that NetFlix had started working again for me with Windows Media Center. Mysteriously, as if by magic... it seems to have fixed itself after just a few weeks!

• iTunes streaming to an Airport Express on Windows 8

  Does anyone have experience with this in Windows 8?

  iTunes (10.7 or 11) streaming music wirelessly to an Airport Express Terminal

  can you check the services and see if Hello is started and running and set to
  Autostart? on the start screen, tap the word
   
  services
   
  then in the settings, see local services
   
  If you have the absolute latest version of iTunes and the foregoing is not resolved
  the issue, Apple must fix something with Hello.

• I have an Airport Express, which gives an unexpected error message when you try to connect to an existing network of WEP.  Any ideas.  Tried the factory returned. He was knocked offline when someone dug into the telco cables.

  I have an Airport Express, which gives an unexpected error message when you try to connect to a router WEP (Verizon) existing iOS9.3.2

  It flashes orange, but can not be reconnected to the router or to the title of the Setup Assistant or Airport utility.  Is there a way to reconnect to WIFI or should I bite the bullet and connect via Cat5e and be done with it.  My VPN works much better without AirPort Express connected.

  Sorry, but there is no WEP settings AirPort Utility on the iPhone or iPad, or any Mac version of AirPort Utility which was used for the last 4 years or so.

  If you have an older Mac still running AirPort 5.x utility or a PC with the AirPort for Windows utility installed on the device, the WEP settings that could be used to get the Express to connect to a WEP network there.

  As you know, WEP has not been secured for a number of years, and there are any number of free utilities available on the Internet, which is crack a WEP network in a few seconds. Thus, all those who want to be on your network will not have problems to do very quickly.

  But it's your call.
