5.6.1 utility not working

I am trying to connect my airport express... I needed a utility update for 5.6... it would not install. I was able to get 5.6.1 installed, but when I try to open airport, it says the base station is not supported.

Which AirPort Express model do you have? If you are using an older, non-802.11n Express, AirPort Utility 6.2 cannot be used to configure it.
AirPort Utility 5.6.1 is for Snow Leopard. If you are using Lion use AirPort Utility 5.6. If you are using Mountain Lion you will also need to use AirPort Utility 5.6 but Mountain Lion will refuse to install it. If that is what you are using read the following for instructions:
You need AirPort Utility 5.6 to configure an older Express. The problem with that version is that Mountain Lion will refuse to let you install it.
This dilemma is easily solved. You simply need to extract the app from the installer package using a package extractor like Pacifist or unpkg. Pacifist is shareware, unpkg is free.
Download Pacifist here: http://www.charlessoft.com/
Download unpkg here: http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
Download AirPort Utility 5.6 here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
When the AirPort Utility .dmg file finishes downloading, open it to expand and reveal the AirPortUtility56.pkg package installer file.
Directions for Pacifist (I do not have screenshots for unpkg but the idea is similar):
Open Pacifist and from its File menu, navigate to the package and open it.
Click the "reveal triangles" until you see AirPort Utility 5.6.app:
Select it and then click Install from Pacifist's toolbar. It will then be installed in your Utilities folder, and you can quit Pacifist.
The most recent version of AirPort Utility included with Mountain Lion should be used to configure 802.11n - capable AirPort Base Stations, and should not be deleted. It and the older version (which will bear the unique name "AirPort Utility 5.6") can peacefully coexist.
If you happen to have an archived copy of the AU 5.6 app somewhere, such as a Time Machine backup or equivalent, you can simply restore it or drag the app to your Mountain Lion system's Utilities folder instead of resorting to the above procedure. It will run without complaint. It is only the package installer that is the problem.
If you have an older computer with a version of AirPort Utility earlier than 6.0, you can administer it that way as well.

  • Oracle EPM Planning 11.1.2.1 - Ziplogs utility not working on all servers

    Oracle EPM Planning 11.1.2.1 - Ziplogs utility not working on all servers
    We have Planning 11.1.2.1 distributed so that Planning web app, EAS etc. are on own webservers and Essbase is on separate cluster.
    Currently we have an issue with ziplogs utility - it seems to work on Essbase servers gathering all necessary ODL logs for over 100MBs, but on Planning Webservers ziplogs utility seems to start, but generates only empty 1kb zip file without any content.
    We haven't touched logging otherwise, everything should be pretty much in original state.
    Unfortunately I can't remember now exactly, but I have a a hunch that ziplogs utility worked prior patching Planning element on webservers to 11.1.2.1.600.
    Other servers or elements haven't been patched (although Oracle recommends also FS, EB etc. to be patched to 11.1.2.1.600). I'm wondering, could this be the reason as in a way FS and EB are on same patching level whereas Planning is not?
    Also, there seems to be a bit of limited diskspace on webservers (still waiting for extension), but I would imagine lack of diskspace for preparing any temp files etc. would results in some errors, the problem is that ziplogs doesn't give any errors, just runs very short time and then ends bringing 1kb empty file.
    Has anyone experienced anything similar and are you perhaps able to give quick guidance how to enhance or modify ziplogs batch file etc. to make it create a bit of logging of its own actions?
    Thanks in advance if anyone has ideas what could be the root cause for this or faced something similar.

    Okay, I was able to get it installed and Common Components installed correctly this time. I still can't access workspace though.
    Is there something I need to do before I can browse to http://localhost:19000/workspace/index.jsp?
    All I get is the following error:

    Anyone know what's going on?

    Hi-
    The last time I saw a similar problem to yours, he was also running Panther. I advised reinstalling the 10.3.9 combo update, and his woes were gone.
    http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosxcombinedupdate1039.html
    Another thought is to check System Preferences/CD's & DVD'S, and check your selection nuder "When you insert a blank CD" (or DVD).
    Running Disk Utility from the install disk, and repairing permissions is also another possible fix.

  • Disk utility not working when upgraded to Yosemite

    I have two MacBook pros (one is a mid 2010 13 inch and new Mid 2014 15 inch Retina), both of which disk utility stopped working when updated to OS X Yosemite from Mavericks. It says "You can't use this copy of Disk Utility with this version of OS X. Open the copy of Disk Utility located in the Utilities folder of the Applications folder of your startup disk." I was able to fix the old 13 inch by clearing the hard drive and pressing CMD+R to reinstall the OS but the new macbook I have not been able to fully clear the SSD. And for some weird reason my bootcamp partition on my 15 inch is being read as a totally separate hard drive instead as a partition.
    Any help on totally erasing the hard drives and making them one is greatly appreciated!

    If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS.* You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need the backup unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used.
    If you use FileVault 2, then before running the Installer you must launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the FileVault startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) It will be nested below another icon with the same name. Click the Unlock button in the toolbar and enter your login password when prompted. Then quit Disk Utility to be returned to the main Recovery screen.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it. The same goes for Xcode. All other data will be preserved.
    *The linked support article refers to OS X 10.10 ("Yosemite"), but the procedure is the same for OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later.

  • Early model Mac Pro's Expansion Slot Utility not working with 10.5.6 update

    I'm reading that the 10.5.6 update may have crippled the Expansion Slot Utility for early Mac Pros.
    I have a 2.66 Mac Pro, and I just installed a Kona 3 card in slot 3. Already had an ATI 1900xt in slot 1. However, the Expansion Slot Utility program detects only the ATI Card.
    However, in System Preferences - the PCI column clearly shows slots 1 & 3 are occupied and with drivers installed for the respective boards... The Kona card works for video preview (further indicating that it's installed correctly - but the Expansion Slot Utility is broken), but I understand that the Kona card is operating at the 1x speed, thus crippling it...
    Apple please fix this... Any administrators or someone in the loop care to elaborate please...
    Thanks,
    Lonnie

    So, here's the deal. Running the Expansion Slot Utility still works for our model of computer - it just doesn't register correctly within the program. This is only a cosmetic flaw. I've confirmed this with AJA and in System Prefs under PCI columns.
    Also, AJA recommends 4Lane, slot 3. There it lies. Furthermore slot 4 concerns me - too close to drive bays for proper air circulation and the propensity for over heating.
    The main issue of not sleeping has been answered by AJA. Their Kona 3 card does not support sleep.
    Guess I'll be turning my computer off instead of sleeping it after hours - no biggee...

  • Power Saver utility not working/can not uninstall

    When I trying to start Power Saver from the control panel, it writes something like:
    "Power Saver is nor running. Please first set Power Saver as a default power control scheme in power management".
    But power saver is already set as my power control scheme.
    I tryed to reinstall Power Saver (downloaded from Toshiba site), but it writes "fatal error while uninstalling previous version".
    The manual start of the uninstallation give me the same error.
    I found that I can delete deinstallation protocol of Power Saver.
    After doing so the new version was installed without problems, but still not working. The same error:
    "Power Saver is nor running. Please first set Power Saver as a default power control scheme in power management".

    I have Toshiba Satellite L100-120 laptop.
    Hello, Stefan.
    After doing as you sayed I have another problems:

  • Canon IJ Network Scanning Utility not working

    Hello,
    Since I upgraded my OS to Yosemite, the application "Canon IJ Network Scan Utility.app" is not working anymore.
    When I try to launch it, it first shows in the top menu bar and then disappears. It is located in Macintosh HD ▸ Library ▸ Printers ▸ Canon ▸ BJPrinter ▸ Utilities.
    I cannot use my scanner from the scanner itself any more which is not so convenient when you have a stack of document to scan...
    B.
    Tech. details:
    Yosemite version 10.10.1
    iMac (24-inch Mid 2007)
    Processor: 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    Memory: 4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
    Graphics: ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro 256 MB

    I have noticed the same issue you are talking about. I have found a workaround to trigger scans from the printer, but it is MUCH less convenient than it was in Mavericks.
    If you install all the latest Yosemite versions of Canon drivers and utilities from canon support site, you should have something called "Canon IJ Network Scanner Selector EX". If you run this, your printer should show as one of the options to select. Select it. There should also be a button labeled: "Scan-from-operation-panel-settings". Click that, and select your printer. If it is already selected, you may have to unselect and then re-select. At the printer, you should then see your mac in the "PC" destination selector.
    With Mavericks, I only had to set this up once, and I could then ALWAYS just go right to the printer to initiate scans. That is, it STAYED connected to my computer: as long as the computer was on, I could just go straight to the printer to start scanning. Now, it seems that the connection somehow gets broken, or the "listener program" on the Mac stops, or something, and you have to go through the above steps again to get it re-connected. It is quite annoying, and much less convenient than it was with Mavericks. I think in my case, it gets "disconnected" every time my computer goes to sleep.
    Hope that helps. If you find a way to keep it connected all the time, I'd appreciate it!

  • Airport Disk Utility not working on Intel mac...

    Ok here's a new one...
    I just got a new macBook (intel) to replace my 12inch G4. On the 12inch, Airport Disk Utility worked just fine recognizing my lacie drive hooked up to AEBS. I used a firewire cable to import settings to the intel macbook and that's when things went wrong.
    On the new laptop, Airport Disk Utility gives me an alarm chime when I open it and no matter what I do, it won't see the drive. What's more, I can't even get the icon to show up in the menu bar (even though the drive shows up when I check the base station with the airport configuration utility). Whenever I check either one of the boxes, I get an alarm chime.
    What's more the airport disk utility still works on the G4.
    I've tried resetting the network, reinstalling stuff- I don't know what else to do. I don't know much about networking, but I wonder if importing the settings from the G4 is somehow the culprit or just something to do with it being intel?

    Well I fixed this. Get the AirPortBaseStationUpdate2007001.dmg update. I had installed this, but it didn't put in a few items that it should have. Mainly a little application in Core Servies. I used Pacifist to install the Airport Disk Utility again, and then restarted. I no longer got a beep when opening AD Utility, but I had to uncheck "Automatically discover disks" then turn off file sharing on the router, wait for it to restart, then turn file sharing back on, and then open AD Utility after restart and click Auto Discover. It then saw my disks. I also changed the name of the Windows Workgroup, I don't know if that had something to do with it. Good luck!

  • Failing Drive - Disk Utility not working either

    Recently my drive started failing to the point that it was clear that I needed to do some maintenance.
    I'm backed up to an external HD, so I wasn't too worried about saving the image - just wanted to get up and running again. I started by trying to use the repair functions under the First Aid tabs. This would run for a while and error out a little less than 1/2 way through.
    Because I didn't care about saving the data, I decided I'd got through the erase and reinstall process. The erase seemed to work ok, but reinstalling would fail. I tried this process 3 times and wasn't able to install correctly.
    This morning, I decided to try and really wipe the drive using the "Zero Out" function. That process has been running for about 3 hours thus far and seems to have frozen at about 1/20 complete (that is - on the progress bar, 1/20 is blue while the rest remains white.) It hasn't moved in about 2 hours.
    Any thoughts on next steps for:
    a) What to do about this freeze
    b) Assuming I can get out of the freeze how to proceed?
    thanks
    (oh, and I'm not certain about the OS version - it's what came with the computer (15 inch G4) but I can't eject the disk as the computer thinks it's still mid-process.

    Hi there - thanks for the quick responses. Since I started looking through these post, I've been amazed at the community.
    First, I think that you may be correct and the zero out is moving, albiet glacially. I put a sticker on the screen to mark progress and it seems to have done something (although, at this point, it could be an optical illusion.) I'd guess that it's closer to 1/10 done now after 8 hours.
    My computer was exhibiting strange behavior - and the annoying (constant beachball) became the very annoying (would boot only every 3rd time, sometimes not at all) to the unusable (upon boot - PANIC! error.)
    I backed up to a LaCie external drive using the included "Silverkeeper" SW. I am not familiar with the restore procedure, but had the idea once the computer started booting into PANIC! (probably a bad idea) that I'd use the fix utility and if not just start with a clean slate and go again.
    As for the specific questions asked -
    I did not run S.M.A.R.T. (and am not sure what it is)
    I did not run a HW test.
    Thanks,
    Stephen

  • Expansion Slot Utility not working -- How to fix / Get a fresh copy?

    I want to configure my PCIe slots to 8x 8x 1x 8x...
    The reason for this is because I'm fitting an ATi X1900 with a passive cooler (Noise!), and it won't fit in the double-height slot.
    All the info suggests running 8x v. 16x will make no difference: http://www.barefeats.com/quad14.html
    However, my Expansion Slot Utility won't run. It worked fine the first time, when I looked at it, but now -- no go.
    The 'Don't Show This Utility Again' button was definitely NOT checked.
    I don't want to have to re-install the whole OS just to get a working ESU...can I download a fresh one from anywhere?

    I DID read your post:
    Hatter...you can't run it from the Utilities folder...it won't work. I tried. Only running it from the CoreServices folder worked.
    So is that now false?
    I launched the copy that I have that I put in /Utilities and confirmed that it will launch and works fine.
    Next, I checked and saw that there was an option when you launch it to "not show again" in the window.
    There must be something wrong on your end. So don't tell me I didn't read your post (or Ned's) and I did see that you had it open in back. Couldn't tab to it.
    But.... it sounded like... you tried to confirm and re-launch it again. At least that is what I would do, to test whether it can be launced, rather than to say "can't be launched except from CoreServices" which I know to be FALSE.
    No where did you say, "okay, it launches now from Utilities."
    So be clear - it ain't easy.

  • Web conference/ lenovo communications utility not working

    Web conference wont open. This has worked before so i dont know what has happened. I have tried uninstalling/reinnstalling it but the same thing occurs. It loads for a second, but does not open. I have a e531 laptop, windows 7 Any ideas?

    It is not a registry setting; it is a configuration of the camera firmware.
    What specific Lenovo system(s) are your users struggling with?
    As far as I know, camera privacy is disabled by default and the only way it could become enabled is if a user enabled it.
    Note that the easier way to enable/disable privacy is with the "Hide my video image" button on the main screen (just under the camera image) of Communications Utility.  I doubt your users are going into the advanced panel and checking the privacy box from your screenshot.  Is it possible they are clicking on "hide my video image"?

  • Possible Workaround - AirPort Extreme Disk Utility not working in Windows

    1) The only way I have managed to get Windows (in my case Vista) working with AE Disk Utility is to set it up using the "Assist Me" or "Manual Setup" with the Airport Utility with no special settings used to configure it.
    2) Update the Station & let it restart.
    3) On your Windows PC - Simply temporarily DISABLE your firewall until the next step is successfully completed. (I am using Norton 360).
    4) Use the Airport Disk Utility to log on as either a Guest or User. (You should see the drive appear under Windows Explorer & see ALL the files it contains)
    5) Re-enable the Firewall you have.
    6) This works for me everytime & I am able to stay connected to my USB drive for as long as I want or I wish to disconnect it.
    7) Repeat the above everytime you want to re-connect the drive to the Airport Extreme.
    I am able to connect successfully using my MAC Mini & my Dell Laptop at the same time without conflict.
    I know this is not an elegant solution, but until Apple get sort this out, it is failry easy to try.
    I hope it works for you !
    Enjoy :))

  • Epson Print Utility not working in 10.4

    I've had this problem for a long time, and thought posting a topic on here might get me a solution. I have a old epson C42UX. Work great with printing, but I am unable to use the Print Utility program anymore for maintenance. It just locks up... the program itself never opens. i think this has happened ever since I updated to 10.4... a long time I know. Can anyone tel me how to fix this. There appears to be no software update on the epson web site.

    What drivers are you using? My guess is that you are using the Guteprint drivers. That latest driver from Epson says that it supports OS X 10.1.3 - OS X 10.1.5, so I don't think Epson produced a driver that would work in OS X 10.4.x.
    If your printer is not supported by Epson drivers, you will not be able to use the Epson Utility.
    If you are indeed using the Gutenprint drivers, upgrade them to the latest version (5.2.2) from _http://gutenprint.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php_. There is a text based utility included on the disk image for Epson inkjet printers. It will allow you to run a nozzle check, clean the heads, and align the heads. You will not be able to get the ink levels however.

  • EOS Utility not working with Windows 10

    Hi all,   I just upgraded to Windows 10, and immediatly ran into the problem that is described in this thread about Windows 8: http://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Software/Eos-Utility-problem/td-p/1189 After reading that thread I decided to unplug the other USB devices I had in the computer at the time (Garmin Watch, USB key, smart phone) and turn off the camera.  I then turned on the camera and ran the EOS utility and it found my camera and worked correctly. Clearly this problem is still not resolved, but that simple work-around gets me downloading my pictures again.  There are a lot of other things people tried in the above thread, but I just unplugged the USB devices and was good to go.

    Well......your option works... but i found another solution, bit of searching but it works.Through the startup folder of windows the eos utility will auto start when starting windows.but if you edit the shortcut in the startup folder to start "eos utility 2" (leave the rest of the shortcut in place) it will bring up the utility apparently in a different mode (or another version of it ) that will recognize the camera as soon as you conect it (and switch it on ) have not yey found out how to start it in the system tray but will keep looking

  • IPhone Configuration Utility Not Working

    Hi Guys,
    I am getting the dreaded error:
    "iPhone Configuration Utility failed to locate 'Apple Mobile Device Support'. Please re-install iPhone Configuration Utility."
    Actions I have tried (in various combinations):
    - Reinstall iTunes (11)
    - Reinstall iPCU (3.6.1)
    - Copy various .dll files to iPCU directory (as per other suggestions, even though Im not getting a .dll error)
    This is on a x86 machine running Windows Vista.
    The devices I use get detected in iTunes just fine.
    The error message I state above shows as soon as I launch iPCU. No prior error / No error after / No GUI loads - just the above error.
    My guess, as per seeing past issues regarding iPCU is that iPCU is incompatible with my version of iTunes/AMDS.
    Any trick on getting this working other than waiting for Apple to fix up iPCU? Im tired of reading hundereds of threads of 'solutions' that get me nowhere.
    Thanks in advance...

    Hi.
    I found that most problems with IPCU startup is a some issue with DLLs and programs in the PATH environment variable. And I thinks it's Apple to blame how they load their DLLs. For me the two things prevented IPCU from working:
    Some Intel software in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\iCLS Client". I don't know what is it, probably part of drivers or other Intel software on my PC (I have Intel chipset motherboard and Intel SSD). Affected DLL was msvcr90.dll located here.
    Zend Server in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Zend\ZendServer\bin". Affected DLLs were: libxml2.dll, iconv.dll .
    I also see that it loads zlib1.dll from my "LUA for Windows" folder instead of its own but it seems that IPCU working with it.
    So, basically problem occurs because either IPCU or Apple Mobile Device Support load wrong DLLs from some of PATH folders instead of their own folders and those DLLs are incompatible. I have located and narrowed it down by looking into list of loaded DLLs in Process Explorer while IPCU is running (showing its error message box), then checking DLLS that wasn't loaded from one of Windows or Apple folders, and after this  I cut folders from PATH variable one by one until it worked, then I returned most of them back except those that affected IPCU startup.

  • Promise FastBuild Utility Not Working, or User Error? *UPDATE - 3/31*

    Currently testing the following barebones system outside of the chassis:
    MSI K9A2 Platinum - version 1 (currently using v1.4 BIOS)
    AMD 5000+ Black Edition CPU
    MSI Radeon 3870 GPU
    WD6400AAKS (Boot Drive)
    G.Skill DDR2 800 (1GB stick)
    Corsair VX550W PSU
    Logitech cordless Keyboard & Mouse
    22" Viewsonic Monitor
    Windows XP Professional 64-bit w/SP2
    -- all at factory settings; nothing overclocked; all drivers installed & updated to current versions.
    I am trying to get the BIOS to recognize a Maxtor 15K Atlas II SAS drive, which will
    be used as my boot disk. From what I know, the drive needs to be set as a JBOD RAID
    in order to be recognized by the system, but I cannot access the necessary functions
    in the Promise FastBuild Utility in order to do this.
    I started by testing a SATA boot drive to see if I could access the RAID functions.
    FastBuild Utility presents you with four parameters, accessed by number keys 1 - 4:
    View Drive Assignments........................[ 1 ]
    Define LD..................................... ........[ 2 ]
    Delete LD..................................... ........[ 3 ]
    Controller Configuration........................[ 4 ]
    Using the BIOS that shipped with the mainboard, I was unable to access any of the
    parameters except for the fourth. Typing 1, 2, or 3 did not bring up a screen at all.
    Typing 4 brought up a screen, but there were no options to select, just information.
    So, I figured perhaps it was a bug with the early BIOS, and flashed it to v1.4.
    The problem is the same. Typing 1, 2, or 3 does nothing, and typing 4 presents
    me with a screen that has no selectable options.
    Am I just missing something obvious here?
    Thanks in advance.

    Quote from: Bas on 29-March-08, 18:55:30
    Hold on!
    You are going the wrong way.
    Of course FastBuild can't do much, it's just 1 drive.
    During install, you need to hit F6 and install the proper driver, then the driver should show and can be partitioned and formatted.
    The FastBuild util doesn't do this, it can only create an array, nothing else, it can NOT format the drive(s) for Windows.
    You need to put the right driver on a FLOPPY and load it with F6, no CDrom involved at this stage, only floppy.
    So I should disconnect the sata boot drive, leave the unformatted SAS drive connected to the Promise
    controller, and do a Windows install in order to F6 the Promise driver onto the hard drive, correct?
    Also Bas -- in another thread you had linked the current Promise driver for SAS HDDs (for the K9A2 Platinum)
    but by the time I saw the thread the link was gone from your post. Would you mind reposting that so I can
    confirm I'm installing the correct one? (I believe I am, but after one gets frustrated trying for days on end
    to get something to work, one can get a bit befuddled LOL )
    Thanks for your help.
