AE doesn't show up in Airport Admin or Setup

Since upgrading to Airport 4.2 and firmware update 6.2, I cannot see my AE base station in Airport Admin or Airport Setup. I've done hard and factory resets and still no dice on either one. In Airport Admin, I can have it look for an 'other' airport, type in the IP address of the base station and the password, and it loads up the configuration fine. After the hard reset, Airport Setup Assistant saw the default wireless SSID but could not find the base station.
I tried rolling back the firmware but still no dice. How do I roll back Airport 4.2 to 4.1? The only receipt in my Library I see is "AirportConfigApps.pkg". Is this the receipt I need to rename so the iBook thinks I don't have it so I can install Airport 4.1?

Have you recently upgraded to 10.4.2 as well?? I had this problem (along with no speakers appearing in iTunes).
You have a couple of options:
- you can connect directly to the base station by selecting "Other" in the admin utility and using the ip address of the base station (try 10.0.1.1 if you don't know it).
- you can connect your mac to the base station by ethernet cable. This fixed my problem, and when I moved the base station back to it's original location it then worked correctly in wireless mode. The problem is if you change the config wirelessly, it will go back to not working.
- downgrade your OS to 10.4.1 or earlier
- wait until 10.4.3 comes out and hope that it fixes some of these problems!

Old PBG4 17 with new logic board doesn't show "built-in" AirPort

I just replaced the logic board in my summer 2003 PowerBook G4 17" which should have standard built-in AirPort. But when I go to Network, AirPort doesn't exist.
Does anyone know what the problem/cause may be? Did I miss re-connecting something? Or is the AirPort built into the logic board and the new one just didn't have one???
Please tell me before I take it a part again...
Thanks in Advance!
Dan

I've tried to reset all of them and now only the Extreme shows up in the Airport utility.
But I can find the Expresses as Wireless Clients. Somehow the Extreme doesn't recognise them as Airports.
With my PC I can access them all through Airport utility and they are well whithin range and respond to changes I make to the settings.
It must be the settings of the Extreme that's I've messed up.
I'll try another reset and start from scratch, again...

Extreme not showing up in airport admin

Sorry in advance for the long post.
long story short: neither my airport extreme nor my airport express appear in my airport admin utility after resetting both. I'm still able to connect wirelessly to the internet, though. I can't do maintenance on my network or name the base stations now. Any ideas?
long story long: i use an airport extreme to create a wireless network in my home. My TiVo is also connected to my network. I use an airport express fror Airtunes.
A few weeks ago, the network no longer worked - the problem was with my ISP, and now is fine (I can connect wirelessly to the net again). Problem is, now I can't get either the extreme or the express to show up in my airport admin. I'm connected to the 'net via my now 'unnamed' ("Apple Airport ed2B..) wireless network. Unfortunately, i can't do anything else, like name my base station, enable my express to connect to this unnamed network, connect TiVo wirelessly, etc.
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Suggest that you restart the entire network by powering everything off...order is not important...and starting the modem first, then AirPort Extreme, then each device one at a time.
Temporarily, connect a spare Ethernet cable from your Mac to one of the LAN <-> ports on the Time Capsule.
Check to see if AirPort Utility can see the AirPort Extreme
If this works, when you have completed checks or adjustments on the AirPort Extreme, you can disconnect the Ethernet cable.

Airport Express flashing amber, but shows normal in airport admin utility

I just replaced a Microsoft wireless router with an Airport Extreme base station. I've had 2 airport express stations on the old wireless network working fine with solid green lights - 1 streams airtunes and the other is a print server. I installed the extreme base station and now the 2 airport express stations appear as normal / working in the airport admin utility but have flashing amber lights. the print server actually works - I can print. The airtunes streams, but it cuts out every 5-10 seconds. Can't figure out how to get rid of the flashing amber and can't find the error since the airport admin shows them as green and working normal.
Any ideas??

Hi ...... I am having the same problem but am having difficulties finding out why.
How did you solve it ?
Many thanks in advance

Airport Extreme doesn't show up in Airport Utility.

Just got a new Mac Mini and a new Airport Extreme.
When I tried to set up Airport Extreme today, ran into some problems.
1) Light is flashing amber
2) Airport Extreme does not show up in Airport Utility
3) I have DSL and ethernet cable is plugged into WAN port on Airport Extreme.
4) Both units are sitting side by side and yet there's no connection detected.
5) Airport Utility keeps telling me to rescan as it cannot detect any wireless devices.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

If you are trying to connect using wireless, make sure that you are connected to the default wireless network that the AirPort Extreme provides for setup purposes. The network that you are looking for will have a name like Apple Network xxxxxx. There is no security, so a password is not required. It usually also helps to restart both the computer and the AirPort Extreme.
You can also temporarily connect an ethernet cable from your computer to one of the LAN <-> ports on the AirPort Extreme. Restart both the computer and the AirPort Extreme when you do this.

Airport Express Works but doesn't show up in Airport Utility

I have a network hard wired to each floor in the house. On the second floor I have connected an Airport Express and sucessfully established a wireless signal (my iphone and dell connect to it), however I can't see this express in Airport Utility. Any suggestions as to why not? Its a pretty old AE. My desire is to have a non wireless laser printer connected by USB to the AE and therefore be visible to computers on different floors of the house.
Alastair

A USB printer connected to the Airport Express USB port is shareable with other computers on the network.
If your AE is pretty old, make sure that you've upgraded it to the latest firmware.
Try connecting the Express directly to a computer via an ethernet port and use the airport utility to confirm that it is configured correctly and then moving it to it's final location.

Hi sathyaav,
Based on your code, I suggest you debug your code step by step to see to check whether the variables are valid.
Also, I suggest you check if you have actived web application feature in Central Administartion ->"Manage Web Applications"->select web application and click manage feature in ribbon->Active your timer job.
Here is a detailed code demo for your reference:

Airport Admin Utility Doesn't Show Basestation

I just moved, and neither my Airport Extreme or Airport Express show up in the Airport Admin Utility even though they both appear under the Airport menu bar pull-down menu. I've done hard resets for both with to no effect.

Well MY base station doesn't show up at all no matter what I do...
I had my network running just fine and then one day it jsut stopped working. Try as I might, I couldn't connect to the Base Station to change or even see what was wrong.
I thought that it was my base station since it was old and had a lot of hours on it, so I got another one.
Now, out of the box it still won't show up on either Airport Admin or Setup Assistant. The Network is there, but the base station doesn't come up. I've done a soft restart a number of times, unplugged it and let it sit before trying again and even restarted my computer as well with no luck. My computer works fine wirelessly and I can connect to networks without a problem.
What's Up?!

Airport Admin utility doesn't find basestation

Hi. I'm having a problem where the Airport Admin Utility doesn't list my basestation on my PowerMac G5. The Admin Utility on the PowerMac G4 displays it fine.
However, I can access the basestation from the G5 in Airport Admin Utility by clicking "other" and manually entering the ip address of the basestation. And I have no problem accessing the internet or the network from either machine.
I'm using a 802.11b card in the G4 and I have the newer "g" card in the G5.
Any ideas?

This doesn't completely answer my question. It only mentions that Airport Setup Assistant no longer supports legacy basestations under OS X tiger 10.4.
It doesn't mention about the Airport Admin utility. Which is what doesn't show/display/list the basestation in the select basestation window. Yet I have no problem using the internet.
I can't believe Apple would completely abandon Airport Snow & Graphite basestation users. Is this true? Although My "Snow" basestation is about 4 years old it still chugs along adequately for my needs.
Any other ideas?
BTW... All my Macs are running 10.4.6 (the latest) so I would think my results should be the same on all Macs.

AirPort Express doesn't show in AirPort Utility any more/won't connect to network

I have an older airport express that I use wirelessly with an AirPort Extreme to extend my network and stream music via AirPlay. Within the last couple of days it has been unable to join the network. It has always worked just fine until now.
The Airport Express powers up, flashes green once, then goes to amber flashing and stays that way forever. The Airport Express does not show up in AirPort Utility at all.
I have tried soft, hard, and factory resets to no avail.
The Airport Express info:
Model A1084
Can't check firmware version beasue it doesn't show up in Airport Utility
The Airport Extreme Info (which is working perfectly fine):
Model A1143
Version 7.6.4
Any further suggestions?
Thanks,
Dawn

Mavericks (Apple) will not let you run an older version of AirPort Utility on Mavericks.
So I've just discovered. Unfortunately I don't think booting from my older OS is going to work either, as it appears that 6.3.2 is also what I have installed there.
Doesn't make sense to me still, though, as I upgraded to Mavericks on day 1, but the Airport Expressed worked fine until yeterday.
I have a roomie with a PC. Will see if we can configure it on his computer.

Not Showing Connection to Airport Extreme

We have been using the AirPort Express for a few months now, and everything has been going extremely smoothly, every once in awhile it would seem to be getting very slow, but other than that, me and my family of four could easily use it with no issues what so ever. But, about two days ago, it stopped working all together. On a mac lap top when you would try to connect to the wifi, there would be a exlimation mark over the full bars of wifi. Therefor, I called my internet provided, and was on the phone with them for about three hours yesturday, and at the end of it, we got a new modem to see if that would work.
They gave me a ARRIS, and hooked it up to the AirPort Express. Comcast tooled me to wait about thirtee minutes for it to start working. And, nothing happened. I was on the phone with Comcast again today, and it seemed like we litterly got no where. But, I have identified that it is the AirPort that is the issue. I am currently using my laptop pluged in using an ethernet cable to the modem, and it works fine. But now, it doesn't show that the AirPort is even up, therefor I can not connect to the settings, like I could have before. The light is currently blinking on the AirPort Express, and that is about it. The only things I have tried are hitting the reset, than doing a facotry reset, none which have worked.
If anyone knows why this is happening, it would be greatly apricated,
Connor

Ok,
I have done this, and nothing worked. Therefor I went to the Apple Genius bar to see if they could to a quick fix for me. They did something to it, renamed it test, and thats as far as I got with them over there. But, when I plug it in now, I can see the network. I was apple to get into it, but there is still no internet, and a exlimation mark over where it would show your connnection.
On the app, it is currently giving me two error messages. The first being Internet Connection, " Your AirPort base station does not have a valid IP address. Make sure your AirPort base station is connected to your broadband modem or local network, verify your settings, and try again. If you still can't connect, contact your Internet sercer provider". And the second being No DNS Servers, "This AirPort base station doesn't have any DNS server addresses and might have trouble connecting to the internet."
Thanks you for the responce again,
Connor

Airport express not listed in Airport admin utility, no music

I had my stereo connected to my airport express to stream music from my imac.
Its been working great for a year. About 2 days ago I did some updates and now
the light is blinking orange and no music.
I have tried to reset the AE with a paperclip but its still not showing in the Airport Admin Utility NOR the Airport Setup Assistant.
Not sure where to go from here....
thanks Laura Drew

When I open the Airport Admin Utility, even when the AX is connected via ethernet, it is still not listed there. I hit rescan and it never surfaces. If I hit OTHER I get a screen that says 10.0.0.1 (if I remember correctly) then I put in the pw public.
10.0.0.1 would be the correct default LAN IP address for the AirPort Base Stations.
The screen says its rebooting the AX. The light turns green for apx. 2 seconds then turns back to blinking orange.
If I unplug it from the ethernet, I am able to see it under the airport icon.
And this would be normal when the AX is not connected to a network. I have assumed that your are using a Cable/DSL modem for your Internet connectivity and that you had not replaced the Ethernet cable between the modem and the AX just yet. So a blinking amber (orange) status light would be correct.
I choose it, plug the AX into the stereo but the light never turns green, and itunes says it can't find the AX.
Connecting the AX to a stereo would not change the status light. Again, remember a green status light indicates a valid network connection.
Maybe I will need to do it thru my router?? could my airport card have gone bad? but it seems I can connect to other networks (my neighbors)??
You can certainly set up the AX while it's connected to a router. I agree with you that it shouldn't be a problem with your AirPort Card.
So now I have to admit, I'm a bit baffled about your current network configuration. My confusion is, whether or not, you are using an Internet router, in addition to the AX.
Would you please confirm for me which of the following two network configurations, 1 or 2, that you currently desire...
1) DSL/Cable modem > (Ethernet cable) > [WAN port] Internet router [LAN port] > (Ethernet cable) > [Ethernet port] AX [Audio port] > (audio cable) > stereo, or
2) DSL/Cable modem > (Ethernet cable) > [Ethernet port] AX [Audio port] > (audio cable) > stereo
...or something else?
In other words, are you using the AX for both your Internet connectivity/iTunes streaming or another router for the Internet and just using the AX for streaming iTunes?

AirPort Admin Utility Current Version?

I currently have AirPort Admin and Setup Utilities V4.2 and AirPort Utility 4.1.1. I tried to install AirPort Base Station Update 2007001 but was told it would update AirPort Utility to V 5.7 only if I have V5.0 already installed. I have looked for V5.0 on the Apple sites but can't find it. My AEBS is 802.11 b/g, if that matters.
What am I missing here?
Thanks, in advance, for any help.
Mac G4, iBook and Airport Extreme Base Station Mac OS X (10.4.8)

If you do not have an AIrport Extreme 802.11n that means you don't have Airport Utility 5.1. The Airport Utility comes on the disk that comes with the new 802.11n which I think is version 5.0 then will be updated by the Apple Update Program.
Therefore you use Airport Admin Utility to administer your system which I think is V4.2.5 and the old 802.11g Extreme.

Windows not recognizing my time capsle - I just purchased a new computer that runs windows 8 and it doesn't want to recognize the time capsule as an external hard drive (ie doesn't show up under my compter). I've downloaded airport utility...

I just purchased a new computer that runs windows 8 and it doesn't want to recognize the time capsule as an external hard drive (ie doesn't show up under my compter). I've downloaded and run airport utility, but it seems to have a hard time finding the time capsule...maybe one out of 10 times it will find it.
What's more, when I look under network infrastructure under the control panel, it shows my Broadcom ADSL centurylink Router...so I'm wondering if my modem/router combo is overriding the router function on my timecapsule and the time capsule is not being used as a router...
Any help much appreciated!

In this case the TC should be in bridge mode.
Win8 is still problematic. Try using ethernet instead of wireless. I think the drivers are poor still and it is well worth having a try via ethernet if you haven't already.
Otherwise you will need to wait for apple to release bonjour for windows 8 and airport utility.. which is not out yet.
Also make sure the windows is set to home, not work or public.. even turn off the firewall.
Open windows explorer and type the TC ip address into the address bar.. (none of which is perhaps the same.. I gave away windows at vista.. shudder)
