Re: Reconfiguring AirPort Express?

2017-12-28 Thread Clark Martin 
I have two Airport Utilities, "AirPort Utility” & "AirPort Admin Utility for 
Graphite and Snow”.  Each is for a specific set of Airport models with, AFAIK, 
no overlap between them.  Each utility only “sees” it’s set of Airports.  You 
may need the other utility.

I've connected it to the Mini via an ethernet cable and it is not showing 
up in either AirPort Utility or Network settings that I can see. Grrr.

Never mind the last reply I made, I think I'm on the right track...for now.

The Airport Express I used had an Ethernet port on it you should be able to 
connect a cable directly from that to a computer and access that way.

Reconfiguring AirPort Express?

2017-12-28 Thread William Spencer 
Hi there: This is the kind of thing that drives me batty. I decided I wanted to 
stream iTunes (version 12.7.2.58) over the home stereo via our (pre-existing) 
FiOS wifi network, so I picked up an A1264 AirPort Express on eBay. It still 
has the prior owner’s network running on it, so I tried using a straightened 
paperclip to push the reset button (I held the button in while plugging the 
unit in, like the book says). The unit is flashing amber, the old network is 
still showing up, and AirPort Utility is not seeing the unit at all.

Did I tell you that I hate dealing with networking issues?

I found a PDF of the setup guide, but I cannot find the AirPort Setup Assistant 
it mentions. All I want to do is get the thing to join the existing home 
network so I can stream iTunes to the home stereo.

Did I tell you that I hate dealing with networking issues?

I am very sorry to be so dense, and I appreciate all offers of assistance (as 
well as of a nice Scotch). Thank you very much!
