May 9, 2014 10:35 AM in response to Vernarellaby Druce,I think the lack of any communication is the answer. The Apple stopped supporting the older Airport Express units a while ago. Even the configuration utility no longer supports Mavericks. I believe that the security change needed in IOS 7.1 made it incompatible with the older Airport Express, and Apple has no desire to post a firmware fix to resolve this problem.
In short, anybody that was using the early generation of Airport Express for Airplay alone will now find that these units are basically paperweights. I sold mine on craigslist, as they are still nice portable APs, and reluctantly purchased new Airport Expresses because I wasn't quite ready to go the Sonos route. Speaking as an Apple Fanboy, this experience was very disappointing.
