On that page, the first issue listed as being resolved by the update is "Resolves issue with Audio dropout when playing to AirPort Express with AirTunes". So I downloaded the firmware update,and opened it, but it can't find any Airport Express to update. Robert

The updater has an "Other" box, and when I click on there, it asks for an IP address and password of the device to be updated, and I don't know what the IP address and password are. Robert
