Access Airport Utility from Status Bar?

Hello - is there any clever way to enable access of "Airport Utility" from the WIFI Icon in my status bar (top right toolbar)?
The WIFI icon has option "open network preferences" but nothing to open Airport Utility.
If I hold the option and click the WIFI Icon, I get WIFI diagnostics, but no Airport Utility.
i would really like to remove Airport Utitlity from my dock but access with 1 click.
thankyou

Hi there LaPastenague
I have the Monitor Airport setting already as you kindly shown me. Plus the other 2 checkboxes checked. Thankyou.
LaPastenague - you likely help heaps of people - but its me again, I am opening and closing Airport Utilty alot to check connectivity as I am still experiencing the slow web page loads. I did the Iv6 link-only as you last helped me. I am the person in bridge-mode on the Time Capcule.
I have also noticed I am seeing "noresult " in my Finder/Path Finder window when I search on my HD or 2TB Time Capscule I use as an external drive. Then the results appear. So something is not right.
What i have been doing more regularly to help with my "slow page load problem", is turning off the ISP's wireless router and then wait 10min and back on. This brings town TC as its bridged.
What I have noticed, when I open up Airport Utility first, it says Internet is "disconnected". But in my WIFI Icon it shows all good. Then after a while it shows Internet connected.
when I open initially
then after a while:
What I have read, is perhaps I should remove the 4 DNS settings and back to one. The ISP gave me the 4 DSN settings and asked me to put them in, in attempt to improve slow page load speed.

Accessing Airport Disk from Windows XP

I have a new Airport Extreme with an attached USB disk. I am able to access the disk from my MAC, but when trying to access it from my windows computer I get Unknown user, incorrect password or login is disabled (error 1203). I have tried configuring the disk access with base station password, disk password and user accounts. Have also tried guest login.
I have 2 XP machines. On one I see the airport disk, on the other I don't. On neither can I access the files. The one that totally does not work has no firewall installed. T
The application I am using is Airport base station agent on the PC. The airport utility on both PC works fine. Running 7.2.1 firmware on the base station
Help apprecited.

An update (and maybe some help to someone with a similar problem). I still can't get the airport base station agent to work, but I have succeeded in mounting the disk manually. Had some problem with the syntax, but it is \\172.16.1.1\diskname where 172.16.1.1 is the address of the airport base station and the discname is what it says it is. Don't try to add the name of the base unit into the path. I set it up with disc password (don't know if his makes a difference). And obviously if you have the airport in bridged mode, this will not help, since the unit will not have an IP address

Mavericks: why can't I access Airport Utility?

I wanted to check that my network was still hidden after installing Mavericks.
However, when I go to Utilities, this is what I see.
Supposedly I have Airport 5.6. I have an Airport Express from 2005? ( I know... I need to upgrade).
Should I download one of these, if so, which one?
Thanks.
http://support.apple.com/downloads/#airport

Turns out my router, model A1084 was first introduced in June of 2004. While I could not access the AirPort Utility using my iMac that runs Mavericks, we went ahead and accessed it using my 2006 MacBook.
My MacBook runs Tiger.
I reset my AirPort router, (unplugged it from wall), then waited a few minutes, held a paperclip in the bottom hole to reset it and while holding said paperclip, plugged back into outlet.
Also unplugged Modem.
Plugged Modem back in.
Checked available networks and now it showed a generic AirPort network, unsecure.
Created a NEW wireless network and password.
Signed in from my iPad 2 to test it out. Then to the iMac. All good.
For anyone who is having problems with an older router running Mavericks, if you have an older Mac that runs Mountain Lion or lower, this should work for you if you configure your settings using your OLDER Mac.
Hope this helps someone out there with a similar problem.

Stop Airport Utility from Automatically Launching

So, i just connected an Airport Extreme in my office and started getting slammed with calls from 50 confused users wondering why a utility was asking them to set up a network.
What port does does the utility scan so I can block it except to my computer or how can I prevent this from happening? Is there setting on the WAP that I can use to turn off whatever signal it sends out? It brought production in my office to a stand-still, just for a minute, but still annoyed the bosses. Or do I literally need to run around to all client machines and un-check all the boxes in their airport utility prefs?
Thanks,
Jeff

Errormassage # 10057 when trying to access Airport Utility

I have an Airport Express working as a router to create a wireless network. I have access to internet and AE is working (green light is on). When I try to open Airport Utility and access by clicking on " continue" or the AE icon an error message 10057 is displayed saying than an error occoured when accessing to AE.
What is blocking access to AE?

I have been facing the same 10057 message and can not go on.
I'm trying to add AE (Airport ver 5.4.2) to the excisting network to stream the music to my amplifier.
I can sometimes find and connect to AE (green light) but getting them both in same network ends always to 10057 message.
I don't know if the IEv6 should be on or off but I have tried both - no help.
I have also tried to join the excisting network without any encryption but even that does not help.
I'm quite tired "hitting the head to the wall".
Is there anybody who could help?
Thank you for your support.

System is slow when I hover over Airport logo in status bar

When I have the Airport logo in the status bar and I hover over it or go to click on it it seems to slow everything down (around that area). So the menu will take a while to load, or I won't be able to move to another icon in the status bar etc.
I wondered if anyone else had this problem or knew what I could do about it?

Do you have your airport turned on? I can only assume that when you click the icon, the system does a quick check for available networks so that the list in the menu is up-to-date.
Maybe someone else can confirm this. I would say that it is nothing to worry about however, the same quirk occurs on my Powerbook and my partner's iBook.

Can Not Access Airport Utility or USB Disk Over Wireless with WEP Enabled

I have an AirPort Extreme base station, with several Windows XP (SP2) machines connected to it. I am able to access the base station through the AirPort Utility (v5.1) using the machines that are connected to the base station via ethernet cables. However, when I attempt to configure the base station using a wireless connection on my Win XP laptop, it says that no base stations can be found. It will also not connect to the USB hard drive (no hards drives appear in the AirPort Disk Utility.) I AM able to browse the web via the wireless connection however. When I turn off WEP, the laptop is able to see the base station through the AirPort Utility, so I know it has something to do with the security, but I have not been able to narrow the problem down beyond that.
Any suggestions?
Windows XP

Hi,
I'm having a similar problem. I am using the airport extreme with a MacBook and a PC running windows XP, The MacBook is the computer that I used to configure the settings in the airport utility for the base station. I set it up this way with the assistance of an Apple representative. When I view the disk tab in the airport utility, I can see the USB drive connected to the base station. I can also see the USB drive on the desktop of the Mac. On the PC however, I can't seem to locate the USB drive anywhere. I can't see it anywhere in explorer and the drive doesn't show up when I use an application and attempt to open a file. Does this sound similar to your experience and were you able to resolve the problem?

Can't access airport utility in 9.2

Hi! I’d really appreciate some help if anyone has a moment.
I use a G5, 10.4, cable connection, Airport Express. I have a G3, wireless, running 10.2 as a back-up machine. I want to install 10.4 on the G3 but it says I need a firmware update first and that the firmware download must be to OS9. I can’t get an internet connection in OS9 – I get a message saying that the airport utility does not exist or is disabled. What to do?
My problem is compounded by the fact that OS9 looks like a foreign language to me
TIA.

Hi, Alliebean -
Welcome to Apple's Discussions.
...and that the firmware download must be to OS9.
I think you have misunderstood the info on the download page for the firmware updater.
It does not state that the download must be to OS 9, only that it must be installed while the machine is booted to OS 9. 'Downloading' and 'installing' are not at all the same thing.
It is perfectly okay to download the updater in OSX - just be sure to not decompress it nor to open it while the machine is booted to OSX.
Once you have downloaded the firmware update, reboot the machine into OS 9. Then decompress the updater by double-clicking it.
You may need to drop it (the file whose name ends in .smi.bin) onto the icon for Stuffit Expander to complete the decompression of the download. the result should be a file whose nae ends in ".smi".
Note - before dropping it onto Stuffit Expander, double-click Stuffit Expander, and open its Preferences (under the File menu). Select "Disk Images" from the list on the left, then turn off (uncheck) "Mount Disk Images". Quit Stuffit Expander.
The result should be a file whose name ends in ".smi". Double-click that to mount the dsik image it contains - a new icon should appear on the right-hand side of the desktop. Then open that disk image - inside will be a readme (it's a good idea to print that out), and an installer program (G3 Firmware Updater), plus one additional file (which can be ignored). After familiarizing yourself with the contents of the readme, double-click the installer program and follow the instructions.

Hide URL from Status Bar

Hi,
Is it possible to hide the URL from the browser status bar when the mouse moves over a link AND once the link is clicked to hide the URL from the address bar as well ??
Thanks for any input,
Regards,
Brandon

More than the anal users. Many people use this information to
decide
whether they will click on the link. By hiding it, you remove
that
extremely valuable security information - for example, a link
tells you on
the screen that it is taking you to www.wachovia.com, but the
status bar
link tells you it's taking you to
www.iamahackersiteandwilldrinkyourmilkshake.cn
I don't think you want to remove that from your site, unless,
of course, you
are the webmaster for
'iamahackersiteandwilldrinkyourmilkshake.cn....

Unable to access airport utility

I have an Apple Extreme Base Station an I am no longer able to access the airport utility. the AEBS shows up in the utility but if I try to access the manual or assisted setup, it asks for a password and reverts back to the main screen.
If I try to hard reset with nothing but the power connected, nothing happens.
I've held the reset button in for 3 + minutes with no possitive result.
Before I bring it back to the store, I am asking if anyone has seen this issue before.
Thank you

Bruce,
Double clicking on the Icon pulled up a new window and the password was successful.
Thank you,
I will most likely bring it back to the store for the faulty reset button.

Impossible to access airport utility 6.1

Since upadting to 6.1, impossible to open this bloody airport utility.
Only have the dialog with Internet globe green, and underneath the wheel spinning for hours.

If 10.7.0 or later...
Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partitirion & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
If that doesn't help Reinstall the OS.

How do I access Airport Utility 5.6?

I can no longer see remote speakers on iTunes so can not play music through airplay - via airport express. I went to Airport Utility and got a message that said this version of Airport Utility doesn't support this base station. Use Airport Utility 5.6 to configure or manage this base station. My computer is a MacBook Pro running 10.7.3.

I have tried downloading airport utility 5.6, but everytime I try the installation fails. I'm running OSX 10.7.5
