I have an older Airport Extreme (disc shaped) that we use with my wife's PowerBook (OS 10.5.8) and my MacBook Pro (OS 10.9.4). We currently only have Airport Utility on her Mac, but I want to upgrade the utility so I can use it on mine.
I have an older Airport Extreme (disc shaped) that we use with my wife's PowerBook (OS 10.5.8) and my MacBook Pro (OS 10.9.4). We currently only have Airport Utility on her Mac, but I want to upgrade the utility so I can use it on mine. Which version of the utility will work on my MacBook, and still control the older Airport Extreme?
if I update the Airport to the latest version, and "control" it with my MacBook Pro, will the older G4 still be able to use the signal from the new Airport?
Yes. Your G4 shouldn't have any difficulty connecting to a Wi-Fi network provided by the latest 802.11ac AirPorts as they support the earlier radio modes that the G4 uses.

I am using os x 10.4.11 on a 2.4 ghz intel core 2 duo. I don't believe I can install lion on this system but was wondering what is the highest version I can use?
Here are the requirements for Lion:
http://osxdaily.com/2011/06/07/mac-os-x-10-7-lion-system-requirements/
In order to install Lion you have to have Snow Leopard and then update to 10.6.8:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
Personally I suggest that you stop at Snow Leopard. It still is the most efficient OS that Apple has devised and it still works great. Go to the Lions only if there are feature that you really need. There may be a price to pay in slower performance though.

HI, I have a IMac and a MacBook Pro plus my IPhone...I only receive all my mail on the IMac...the MacBook Pro only receives maybe 1 or 2 emails and the same for the IPhone...Anyone know what I can do?
ThanksThere's an Apple help page on the DNS problem - at http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3408
The first thing to try is changing your DNS settings - and for that you need to open System Preferences, then the
Network section.
In Network - click on Advanced - then the DNS tab
under DNS servers - use the + button to enter two extra lines
either these, from google dns
8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4
or from OpenDNS
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
then click OK & then 'Apply'
You would need to do that seperately for the Cable (Ethernet) settings and Wireless (Airport) -
My husband"s icloud account is set up on my mac but I want to set up mine to view my photo stream from my ipad
In order to use Photo Stream with your own iCloud account it must be the 'primary account', signed into in System Preferences>iCloud. Presumably that's where your husband's account is signed in, so you will need to sign out, and then sign in your own account.
You can then sign your husband's account in in System Preferences>Mail, Contacts and Calendars so that his data appears alongside yours in Contacts, Calendars and so on. You won't be able to receive his photo stream unless he creates 'shared Photo Streams'. -
My 8 year old wants a touch, but i want to lock the internet so he can't use it. Is that possible?
My 8 year old wants a IPod Touch, but I want to be able to disable the internet on it for him. Is that possible, so he can't just surf the web.
As others have mentioned on this thread, it is possible to turn off the default browser and setup an alternate safe browser app to allow your family to access the Internet safely and securely. You will need to:
- Enable the Restrictions feature (Settings > General > Restrictions > Enable Restrictions)
- Turn off Safari and YouTube
- Turn off Installing Apps (after you install the apps you need)
- Download and setup a safe browser (like Mobicip)
Follow the step-by-step instructions in one of these tutorials to proceed.

I don't want to upgrade to ios7 on iPhone 4. But instead want to upgrade to ios6. How can I do that?
I have an iPhone 4 with iOS 5.1. I want to upgrade it to iOS 6. How can I do that when iOS 7 is available in the market. I fear upgrading to ios 7 will make my phone pretty slow. Gene I want to upgrade to iOS 6. Pls advise
You cannot. As long as your device is qualified to run the most recent iOS, that's the iOS that will be installed on your device. If you are currently at iOS 5.1, the update that will be installed is iOS 7.0.3. The update process will skip iOS 6.x.x since it is no longer valid for your device.

I recently upgraded to OX Lion and have an ipod, ipad, iphone and other apple mac computer on the network besides my macbook pro.
Since the upgrade I am having issues with my ip address. I have edited this number under renew lease, taken it to a manual edit and on any of these occassions found an address which allows the computer to go on wi fi.
However everytime I use my computer it starts off without wi fi and I have to manually go back to ip address and either adjust to manual or renew lease.
Any ideas?While we all have MacBooks in this forum most of us don’t have Lion. There's a Lion Support Community where everybody has Lion. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer. https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/mac_os_x_v10.7_lion

My iPhone 4s will not connect with my home WiFi network. I have ios6 on my iPhone. The connection was working perfectly before I updated my IMac and my MacBook Pro to ios 10.8.2. I have had ios6 since I purchased the phone a couple of months ago. It searches for a network and finds them, but when it asks for my password, it will not accept the password. Have never had this happen before.
Hello krosebear,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
If you are having difficulties connecting your iPhone to a Wi-Fi network, the following article should provide troubleshooting that should help you resolve the issue.

My airport express works on my MBPro 17 w/ 10.5.8 but not my MBAir11". The MBAir says that this version of Airport utility doesn't support this base station. Is ther any chance I can use this with my MBAir?
Is this an older "round" version of the AirPort Extreme? If yes, it is true that AirPort Utility 6.x no longer supports the older AirPort Extreme and AirPort Express models.
A model number......located on the bottom of the Extreme or on the side of the Express would be helpful to confirm what you have.
Apple probably does want you to buy a new AirPort Extreme.
The workaround might be to use a Mac or PC running a 5.x version of AirPort Utility.
A more complicated workaround would be to install AirPort Utility 5.6 on Mountain Lion. This is not supported by Apple......it does work for me.....but may not work for you. See this article for more details:

I want to upgrade the software (currently I have Mac OS X 10.6.4) but when the mac is downloading the new version i get an error message and is not possible get the most updated software: Mac OS X 10.6.8 or either the most recent itunes why?!?!?!
Then you either have a network problem or a hardware problem or a corrupted hard drive. You might try:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
You can also try downloading from another computer on a different network connection. -
I have an old PowerPC running 10.4.11 and a Macbook Pro running 10.6.7 sitting side by side. Both are using AirPort to connect to the internet wirelessly to the same wireless router. The old Mac connects with full bars but the MBP struggles with only 2 bars. Pls help, thanks!
BDAqua,
Thanks for the response.
Apple has used the term "Digital Audio" to identify this machine. System Profiler has the following information:
Machine Name: Power Mac G4
Machine Model: PowerMac3,5
CPU Type: PowerPC G4 (2.1)
Number Of CPUs: 1
CPU Speed: 800 MHz
L2 Cache (per CPU): 256 KB
Memory: 768 MB
Bus Speed: 133 MHz
Boot ROM Version: 4.3.3f2
Serial Number: XBxxxxxMK9
Sales Order Number:
Yes, I could connect them by ethernet if all I wanted to do was transfer files, but I would like to network them so I could use wireless internet. The machines are not always so close together, I did that to simplify the testing. With the very slow transfer speeds I am reluctant to move ahead with the internet step.

I have a 2008 airport extreme, will I get greater range with the new version?
I have a 2008 airport extreme, will I get greater range with the new version of the airport extreme?
I have had both models, and frankly notice little if any difference in range, likely because the broadcast power of wireless routers is set by law, and just about every router is running at 100%.
The dual band feature of the newer model will allow devices that are in close proximity to connect using the 5 GHz band, which runs 2-3 times faster than the 2.4 GHz band.
If you need greater range, you will likely do better by adding something like an AirPort Express to "extend" the wireless signal for greater reach.....rather than simply replacing one AirPort Extreme with another.
Another option....if you opt for the new AirPort Extreme....would be to use it as your "main" base station and use the older Extreme to "extend" the wireless signal. -

I do not have a Mac but I want to give a software program for a Mac as a gift. I am not able to access the Mac store. Do I just get an iTunes card?
"Gift Card" is sometimes called a tacky gift, but if it allows the other person to get whatever they want it works.
Besides, anything purchased through App Store is usually "All Sales Final", so I think iTunes card is a good idea.
