Airport express software for mac air

how can i get the sofwate for airport ´xpress on my computer

The AirPort Utility should already be installed on your MacBook Air as part of the OS X load. However, if for some reason it is missing, you can download a copy directly from Apple Support here.

Airport Express Password for mac and windows

i have airport express in my office and i have both windows laptops and mac's, i tried to setup a password for the airport and it succeed but the problem when i try to access the airport from windows it ask for password and i use my correct password but unable to connect on it. i am using 12 digital # for the password.
now i have removed the password and all the machines able to connect even the other companies are sharing my internet
is there any way to encrypt the airport? and i want each machine to be asked for the password.
thanks

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
One of the advantages of OS X is it has it's own password manager called Keychain Access. Unfortunately Windows doesn't have an equivalent so you have to rely on third parts applications like Roboform. To locate Keychain Access simply click Command-Spacebar and type Keychain Access and Spotlight will locate it.
There is another tool you can try that has gotten pretty good reviews, it is:

I'm not aware of any third parts apps that work on both Windows and OS X so you may be forced to use two solutions.

Airport Express Software for Leopard

Hi, the installation disk for my new Airport Express device says, that it wouldn't run due to my OS, which is 10.5/Leopard.
The software lists don't give any clou, where to find a valid version for Leopard.
Does anyone know how to succeed in using the airport?

It sounds like you may have bought an 802.11b/g AirPort Express (AX).
Ignore the software on the disc. Go to /Applications/Utilities and use "AirPort Utility" to configure the AX.

A1084 airport express software for Maverick

Hi,
I would like to locate a copy of the utiity software that will work with this model airport and Maverick. I have looked but cannot seem to find it. If you can point me in the right direction I will say thanks in advance.

This worked for me with the last OS update and I assume it will work with this update. Let me know if you have success.
Here are the basic steps to install version 5.6 under Mountain Lion using CharlesSoft's Pacifist (www.charlessoft.com):
If you haven't already download the AirPort Utility disk image file directly from Apple Support Download
Place the resultant AirPortUtility56.dmg file onto your Mac's Desktop.
Run Pacifist.
Click on the Open Package option. Find the disk image file that you just placed on your desktop, and then, click on Open.
The utility is located as follows: Contents of AirPortUtility56.dmg > Contents of AirPortUtility56.pkg > Contents of AirPortUtility56Lion.pkg > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility 5.6.app
Drag AirPort Utility 5.6.app to your Mac's /Applications/Utilities folder.
You can now run the AirPort Utility from the Utilities folder.

I installed an airport express, on my mac book i can use the airplay using iTunes, but on my iPhone en ipad the icon for airplay not appears on the screan when i start the music player.

Chances are, you have already tried this and already know the answer.
But, if not....sorry, but no......since your printer is not AirPrint compatible, you must use the extra software workaround in the Mac.
A newer AirPrint printer would allow you to do what you want.

Can't find AirPort 4.2 for Mac OS X 10.4.x software for Intel Mac Book

I have an Intel Mac Book and recently picked up a graphite AirPort on eBay without software. I installed the Installer updaters and Mac OSX 1.4.9 Combo update. I can not install AirPort software 2.0 - the error says I can not install on this machine. I went on the Apple site to find AirPort 4.2 for Mac OS X 10.4.x and can not locate the download. Any ideas?

Hi Duane!
Thank you for welcoming me and yur information. I now see that I have the software, but I'm still having issues. I can't get the airport to see the internet. It knows there is an internet connection in the Network Assistant, but fails on the diagnostic. Further, after a restart, the Admin Utility does not list the IP address I the window.
I wondered if this was because of the software version update becausse it said it fixes an issue with Comcast (my ISP).
I wanted to use the Admin Utility to configure the Airport from scratch, but how can I if the base station is not in the list?

What is the preferred anti-virus/malware software for MacBook Air

What is the preferred anti-virusmalware software for MacBook Air?

None is required.
Helpful Links Regarding Malware Protection
An excellent link to read is Tom Reed's Mac Malware Guide.
Also, visit The XLab FAQs and read Detecting and avoiding malware and spyware.
See these Apple articles:
          Mac OS X Snow Leopard and malware detection
          OS X Lion- Protect your Mac from malware
          OS X Mountain Lion- Protect your Mac from malware
          About file quarantine in OS X
If you require anti-virus protection I recommend using VirusBarrier Express 1.1.6 or Dr.Web Light both from the App Store. They're both free, and since they're from the App Store, they won't destabilize the system. (Thank you to Thomas Reed for these recommendations.)
From user Joe Bailey comes this equally useful advice:
The facts are:
1. There is no anti-malware software that can detect 100% of the malware out there.
2. There is no anti-malware that can detect anything targeting the Mac because there
     is no Mac malware in the wild, and therefore, no "signatures" to detect.
3. The very best way to prevent the most attacks is for you as the user to be aware that
     the most successful malware attacks rely on very sophisticated social engineering
     techniques preying on human avarice, ****, and fear.
4. Internet popups saying the FBI, NSA, Microsoft, your ISP has detected malware on
    your computer is intended to entice you to install their malware thinking it is a
    protection against malware.
5. Some of the anti-malware products on the market are worse than the malware
    from which they purport to protect you.
6. Be cautious where you go on the internet.
7. Only download anything from sites you know are safe.
8. Avoid links you receive in email, always be suspicious even if you get something
    you think is from a friend, but you were not expecting.
9. If there is any question in your mind, then assume it is malware.

Best itunes HD format on airport extreme wireless for macbook air unibody

Hi,
I am setting up a system for a disabled person and just bought a new airport extreme and the new mac book air unibody to begin set up of a varied collection of ripping CDs, downloading mp3s/podcasts, video and various other sources that will rise over 100 gigs. Here are several particulars about optimizing hard drives for wireless itunes to outline needs and concerns.
1. Is it practical or economical to use the airport extreme Gigabit Ethernet? If so, please recommend some drives/devices. The drobo fs is out of my price range for $600+ without hard drives.
http://www.drobo.com/products/drobo-fs.php
2. Will I have lag or performance issues using the usb 2.0 port with a usb2.0 hub and a usb 2.0 drive?
3. Is a a fast RAID 0 (striped) array WD hooked up to usb 2.0 worth price and trouble?
http://www.macworld.com/reviews/product/405266/review/mybook_studio_edition1tb.html
4. Will itunes run better if it has a dedicated drive? We also need to store other large media files on this wireless hard drive setup.
Thanks

Don,
I keep my iTunes library on a separate drive and I've never had a problem sharing media from it via Airport Express with other macs in my wireless netwrok. The drive I use is a Wester Digital "My Book" - it is a raid 1 set-up connected to my imac via Firewire connection. I can't remember but I think I picked it up at NewEgg or Amazon over a year ago for around $200. You can probably find better, bigger and faster drives now for the same price or less at these places or at One World Computing as well. Hope that answered your question.

Can't install AirPort Express Software

Help!
Trying to install AirPort Express Software in my computer. It's an iMac 1.25 GHz PowerPC G4. It was installed with OS X 10.3 with updates through 10.3.9. I recently installed Leopard 10.5 and it is now updated to version 10.5.1. But, when I try to install the software for my new AirPort Express, it says "you cannot install AirPort on this volume. The version of Mac OS X on this volume is not supported." Huh? AirPort express says it can be used by computers working on OS X 10.4 or later. What might be my problem? THANKS!
Terry

Duane,
Thank you for your speedy response!!!!
When I open the AirPort Utility.app, a window opens called AirPort Utility, the twirly/stopwatch icon goes into motion next to the words"Discovering Base Stations." After this happens for some seconds, these words appear...
"AirPort Utility was unable to find any AirPort base stations. Please make sure the AirPort base station you want to set up is plugged in and in range of your computer, and then click rescan to try again."
My express is plugged in five feet from my computer. What to do....?
Many thanks!
Terry

AIRPORT EXPRESS SOFTWARE WONT INSTALL

Hello All,
Anyone know a reason why I can't install the Airport Express software on my Mac Book Pro?
When I place the disk in the drive the icon comes up on the desktop. I open the icon and click on the installer to begin the installation process. Once, I get through all the legal mumbo jumbo and to the destination drive screen, the installer tells me that the version of OS X I have isn't supported. Is 10.5.1 compatible with the software? If not, where I can I get a copy of "compatible" software?
Thanks
Calvin

calgenjon, Welcome to the discussion area!
Don't worry about that software. Instead use "AirPort Utility" which you will find in the /Applications/Utilities directory.

Express works for mac but not for pc's

my airport express works for my mac and iphone, but it won't work with my wife's and friends' pc's. the password works for me, but when they attempt to enter the password their computers ask for a network key instead of the password. please help!

I had successfully set up my Powerbook and PC to use Airport Express on a closed network. Been working fine for 5 weeks until tonight when neither machine could find the network. I reconnected the Mac but I can't get the PC hooked up again. Any ideas?

Best financial software for mac

What is the best personal financial software for mac? I am currently using Quicken 2007 but keep losing data.
Thanks,

This is a bash on Quicken reply. I have struggled with Quicken (currently Q07) for many, many years (back into the 90's). I counted 13 different sets of Quicken datasets which have been left hanging on my various hard drives over these years as I found out through different support calls that I would have to discard a corrupted database and start over.
Last year, I was told by Quicken support during a call I paid for that I had too many accounts and the database was too large. (This has been a common tech support comment for me) I've only tried to use Quicken for personal finance tracking, no securities tracking and the heavier features (thank goodness). The call ended with an all too familiar bottom line which was that the backups were all bad so they didn't help. The support person couldn't figure out how I could utlize the backup data so in the end, I re-entered the previous year so that I could get my taxes done and search for another program. I've researched enough to know I was lucky to not move to Quicken Express as was once advised. Apparently that software doesn't allow an export in the event you would find a different software.
The good news is that I just upgraded to Mountain Lion. As you may know, Quicken in any version does not work with this OS. I've finally found a perfect reason staring me in the face to never struggle to use Quicken again. Now to find a better option. Money has many features that seem like what I need for handling 5 or 6 bank accounts and credit cards. Has anyone experienced SEE software? It too seems to have decent features.
I don't know the background of this link but it may be a place to start:
http://personal-finance-software-review.toptenreviews.com/mac-personal-finance-s oftware/
MacWorld also has a review on financial software for the Mac 2013
Best of luck to us all. Deciding on MtnLion and Mac vs. Quicken pppfffft no question which gets dumped!

Best Screen Recording Software for Mac?

Looking for recommendations on a good computer screen recording program, as I'm trying to make a tutorial video, and need to be able to record what I am doing on my computer screen.
Would prefer free, but don't mind paying a bit - quality is most important. Any advice would be appreciated - thanks!

2nd vote:
without doubt - Screenflow
why ?
because, it is not only a 'grabber', but it includes an 'editor', drop-dead-simple as iMovie, which includes many features ESPECIALLY made for tutorials - e.g. you can zoom-in after recording without quality-loss, you can change cursor-size, highlite, 'print' pressed keys on screen, add a pic-in-pic (if you like your face in your tuts ) ..
side-note: screen-grabs are off the standards, iM or FinalCut/express support! so, a built-in editor is a ++ ! (the exports/uploads from a SF-project are superb!)
not cheap, but worth every cent!

Since updating to Yosemite my airport express (used for airplay) connects for a short period then drops, the error message "An error occurred while connecting to the AirPlay device "Kitchen". The host cannot be reached." Has anyone else had this?

I'm having the same issue. Haven't found a workaround. I use a main TimeCapsule as my main router, also have another TimeCapsule that extends the network, three Airport Express and an AppleTV. For whatever reason, the two AirportExpress that I have in a different rooms cut out. I only have 600 square foot apartment so it's not that big, the signal should be strong enough. Airport Utilitiy reports the signal strength to be strong on all devices.
I'm using all new equipment, a new MacPro for my music, new TimeCapsules, new Airport Express, new everything with the latest Yosemite software. Very frustrating. My Airplay used to work very nice and now I'm constantly having issues and restarting my network. I did a fresh install of all my software on my MacPro when I got it in January so it's not as if it's an old machine with old software, everything is new within the last 6 months.
The only workaround I found so far is to unplug the devices and to plug them back in. Since upgrading to Yosemite, I'm restarting my Airport Express at least twice a week. Very annoying.

WINDOWS SUPPORT SOFTWARE FOR MACBOOK AIR 2014

Does anyone know if there is a windows support software for MacBook Air 13 inches 2014 version?
I do need it desperately

Again, what do you mean by a Windows Support Software?
Bootcamp will allow you to install Windows on a Mac. Beyond that what else do you need?
The instructions don't mention anything about Support Software.
How to install Windows using Boot Camp - Apple Support
For All intents and purposes Bootcamp is the software that supports Windows installations.
