Q: resetting AirPort Express
I am changing network connections in my home. So far, so good... with a few wrinkle.
I am having trouble resetting my Airport Express.
Current set-up:
iMac mid 2007 running 10.10.1
ethernet connection to 2TB Time Capsule (v 7.6.4). The Time Capsule is NOT internet connected (by choice)
Airport Express 69e693
When I run AirPort Utility (v 6.3.4)it finds my WiFi internet connection and identifies my Time Capsule. Green lights for both.
When I reset my AirPort Express, AirPort Utility discovers it in the "Other Wi-Fi Devices (1)" in the upper left of the Utility screen
When I select the AirPort Express from this menu it cycles through a "reading previous settings" screen, then ends with:
"An unexpected error occurred. Try Again."
The AirPort express is only used to stream music to a stereo system. It was previously working with the same iMac and Time Capsule under the old configuration (the TimeCapsule as connected to a Cable Modem/router by ethernet, and to the iMac via Wireless.)
Thoughts? I'm guessing that by changing the settings on the Time Capsule to separate it from the WiFi network I have somehow affected the AirPort express?
