Step 1: Turn on the Cricut Expression 2 machine. Ensure that the machine is
connected to a wireless network.

Step 2: On the Cricut Expression 2 LCD screen, click to view the setting menu.

Step 3: Scroll until you find the CCR Login button. Click the button.

Step 4: Input your CCR username in the field. Click save.

Step 5: Login to Cricut Craft Room on your computer. Your computer must be
connected to the same wireless network as your Expression 2 machine.

Step 6: Design a project and click Cut.

Step 7: Select the Expression 2.

Note: Even after disconnecting your machine from your wireless network, your
Expression 2 will appear in the Select Device list for about a week.

This has been available since probably since September but only a few knew about it as PC was not ready to make it known that it was already available but their hands were sort of pushed to reveal it before they were to reveal it so that could explain why the person you spoke with at C.S. did not know.

What is the error message that you are getting?

You are the second person that have that error as I sent her post to pd. Did you try following the steps is this thread?

I just walked thru the steps again to be sure I did everything correctly ... I got the same error message

Thanks and hopefully we will hear from product development.

Did you try Debbie G's suggestion? I did hear from product development but I had to do a follow up question. Have you heard from pc?

Do you have the wifi adapter connected to the E2 and do you have the last update? If so, scroll down in the settings and it should be there. What is your E2's firmware numbers?

You need 65:17:240 firmware and if you have that firmware, then click the settings icon on the E2 , scroll down until you find a circle with CCR inside the circle I think as that is reported by other members.

Your daughter being able to access your iMac wirelessly <spelling> is a great sign. This means that you most likely do not have multicast blocked or at-least have her as a trusted system. Doesn't mean there isn't something blocking the specific ports which are required for operation. Meaning you can allow another computer to ping your computer but they will not be allowed to browse the shared file-systems, etc..

I'm assuming that the "super duper modem" from Comcast is the cable modem. However, on my provided Comcast cable modem there is only one connection on the back for Ethernet. Which I have connected to a Netgear router for WiFi service. So, since we cannot be specific on what Comcast provides as a modem in your area. It would be hard to speculate what you have. I have to assume that your daughter can browse the net and that your Expression 2 AE has successfully connected to the WiFi network in the first place.

Since, I don't have a Ethernet Adapter for my E2, I can't describe what you need to see on it to validate a connection. Mine just has the wave bars with a exclamation mark :)

There should be an ip address assigned to your E2, it's possible that it could be ping'able. Wish I had an Ethernet adapter in my E2 to really help troubleshoot the problem. I'm sure your frustrated especially with the holiday weekend here.

I would advise not to load CCR on your daughter's laptop though. You are only allowed 2 computers and I don't think you want to compete with her need to update Facebook and your need to send a cut :) I will upload a picture of my network and it's elements if it helps identify things you may have.

We have another Mac user that has Comcast having the same issues so I gave her this link so perhaps something Debbie has posted might help her as well.

Mine says the same thing. My version number is 1.01 (0043:0017:0240). I saw in another post that the front number listed as 0065 instead of 0043? Is that the problem and how do I fix it?

Firmware 43 allowed you to use your wifi adapter and firmware 65 allowed you to cut wirelessly from CCR. Many had issues with firmware 43 not allowing the adapter to be used without changing their settings or calling their ISP.

STW is correct as even though you could not update wirelessly, you can cut wirelessly and I am not sure if firmware 65 fixed the issue or not. Therefore, after you have updated with firmware 65, try to update wirelessly in which you should get a message that you are up to date which tells us that firmware 65 fixed the problem and not just the CCR driver. Then try cutting from CCR wirelessly. Please let us know the outcome.

The CCR icon only will appear after you have firmware 63 and the adapter connected to the E2. If you are not seeing the icon, check your firmware to be sure you have firmware 65.

PS - Mercy, what settings do we change for the adapter? I just re-read the first paragraph of your last post. Also, I cannot cut wirelessly either due to the challenges that I'm having with my cartridges not linking......

Yay!!! So glad for you....now if I could only make it work for me...lol! Dumb question, but where is the Cricut Sync? I've read about trying that - but cannot find where in the world it is!

How did you get your Cricut to build 43? Did it come that way? Did you ever connect your E2 to your computer?
