Question

printer and iTunes with airport express

I just got back from vacation and my airport express no longer sees my printer or my iTunes connection. My internet connection works fine. How can I fix this? I left my computer off and my airport express unpluged and for the week I was gone.
Thanx

Welcome starlingphoto,

Have you tried to use Airport Setup Assistant to configure or reconfigure your Airport again?

You might have to use the Printer Setup Utility located in your Utilities folder for your printer.

Under iTunes Preferences Advance tab is the " Look for remote speakers " selected?

In Airport Admin Utility ( located in your Utilities folder ) is " Enable Airtunes on this base station " selected? If not sure open Airport Admin Utility>select your Airport Express>select configure>select the Music tab in the menu and make sure the Enable Airtunes is selected and don't forget to click Update.

I hope this helps...

When I open Airport Admin Utility and select my airport express there is no music tab. I realy don't understand this. It worked fine before I went on vacation.

After you select your airport express in the Airport Admin Utility then you need to select Configure, then in the menu on the far right there will be a Music button.

Apparently my Airport Express has somehow reset itself to an older version of firmware that does not support air tunes or the wireless printing feature (or something like that) I spoke with Apple Care support last night for over two hours trying to fix it. I had to go and help put my sons to bed so I did not get it fixed. I am going to try a couple of things tongight after work. If I update the firmware should I start with 6.0 or will installing 6.3 fix the problem?
