Airport in OS X10.2.8
I have an old Lombard that I am trying to get on line using 'airport'.It is running 10.2.8.The modem/router is a Zoom X6.I have no problem connecting using ethernet, but I cannot get it to connect wirelessly.It seems to be me not putting the correct infomation in the 'boxes',but I cannot seem to figure out what information goes in which set up box in 10.2.Can anyone be of assisstance?

Since you both seem to be advocates of the Dock vs the Sidebar...I wonder if either or both of you could suggest a way to be rid of the sidebar (keeping in mind this is in column view) and to be able to have the Desktop as a Dock item?

I have a older Airport Express unit that requires Airport Utility 5.6. When I try to install 5.8 on my OS X10.8 iMac, I get the message "Airport Utility can't be installed on this disk. The version of Mac OS X on this volume in not Supported"
Why should I have to spend money to solve this problem? Many others have the same concern, Airport Utility 6 does not support older Airport Express units. This is Apple's problem. I've tried many solutions proposed on the net but none worked. I'm still trying for a work around.

I've done several of the special reset techniques for air port as suggested in the airport discussiions and now am asking for somebody who has had experience with restoring OS X to its original state and what, if anything am I missing. Thank you in advance, lee242.

Can't re-install the OS X10.2.8 or OS X 10.4.3
I am using a iMac-G4, the original system was OS X10.2.8, then I upgraded to OS X10.4.3 Tiger. Now my G4 is experiencing a preblem: after start-up, when the apple logo and the blue loading-bar disapeared in the screen, the Log-in Box DID NOT SHOW UP, so I can not log-in the computer.
I have tried the following:
1)re-start the G4 by holding down 4 keys and enter command
'reset-vnram' and 'reset-all'. Didn't work.
2)using the Hardware Test disc, the test report shows all passed without error.
I also tried to re-install the OS X10.2.8, or the OS X10.4.3, but both failed---the spinning sign stops moving while the CD or DVD being read by the G4---before the installation instruction shown up. I tried the AppleCare ToolTech Deluxe CD too, same problem as re-installation.
Anyone can give me a help? Thanks.

Let's reset the power manager chip and the startup parameters and check two other things at the same time. Reset the PMU by unplugging the system, removing the bottom access panel, and pressing the PMU reset botton. If you orient the system so the ram slot is to the left, the PMU reset button is on the bottom right of the rectangular exposed area on the logic board, probably under a plastic shield. You don't need to move the shield to press the button. Press the button once only, then wait 10 seconds.
While you have the access panel off, check that your RAM is seated correctly and looks OK. Do the same for the Airport card, if your system has one installed.
Close the access panel and power up your computer. As you boot, hold Option-Apple-P-R (all 4 keys simultaneously) until you hear the startup chime a second time.
With luck, your system will be alive and well. Let us know.
Good luck,

Using AirPort Utility 5.3.1 or later to make a copy of the Time Capsule disk
Can I use AirPort Utility 5.3.1 or later to make a copies of specific folders within the Time Capsule disk?
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1281
I see this link that explains how you can make an archive of TC files directly to an external USB (greatly increasing the speed), but I would like to:
1) Chose only specific folders and
2) If possible, have it do this daily.
I am trying to avoid dragging files directly through my Mac. I want specific files (instead of entire drive) to go from the TC > External USBThe archive ability which is available in all versions of the airport utility except the early v6, where it was dropped for a time, is designed to do a full backup of the TC. It cannot do what you want.
It cannot incrementally backup. Each time you press archive it will do the whole disk.
you cannot select folders to be included or excluded. The airport utility is an extremely limited functionality tool.
I am trying to avoid dragging files directly through my Mac. I want specific files (instead of entire drive) to go from the TC > External USB
A TC is a dumb as a board hard disk in a router. It has no controls like a real NAS would have, like backup with a auto controls and ability to deselect items or do incrementals.
So you have no choice whatsoever on a TC except for the files to be processed via the Mac.
Carbon Copy Cloner is one backup utility that can do the job. But it will be extremely slow if the material it is backing up has to be copied to the USB on the TC. Still if your changes are not great, it can be set to automatically do incremental backups on a daily basis.
It is much faster btw to have the USB plugged into the computer, so files do not have to be transferred back to the USB.. and this is x10 if you are using wireless. -
Can't connect to Airport Express - "Connection timeout" error msg
Two weeks ago my wireless internet connection failed abruptly. Since then I have spent time troubleshooting this problem at the Genius Bar of local Apple Store where the problem cannot be replicated with the same equipment (my Airport Express and MacBk Pro). I have since traded out my old Airport Express for a new one and had the same problem after bringing it home and attempting a setup of the new device. I went back to Genius Bar and setup new Airport Express only to bring it back home and have the same issue. Both the modem and the Airport Express have been reset in previous attempts to connect wirelessly. Equipment is as follows:
2011 MacBook Pro, OS X10.6.8
2011 Airport Express
Cable Modem: Motorola SURFboard, model SB5120
ISP: Comcast
The Airport Express is hardwired to Motorola modem and there is no other network running in my apartment.
Any suggestions?Did you ever get this problem fixed? I have a very similar issue going on...

Internet sharing to (Android) phone via Airport in my iMac
Can I share my internet via Airport (wireless) thru my iMac so i can use it on my Android phone?
Can it be done?
I dont have a wireless modem, but i shared internet so far but i cant make it to work for ma Xperia X10
Help...
Anybody?Did you set up Internet Sharing to share from WiFi to Bluetooth PAN?
Does the phone use Bluetooth PAN?
If you've done all that and can't get internet, try adding a Domain Name Server to your phone, such as OpenDNS or Google. The addresses are:
OpenDNS:
208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220
Google:
8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4
I don't have any other ideas. -
AirPort Extreme 802.11n - disappointing connection speeds in Windows
I have just set up a brand new AirPort Extreme and, with my MacBook Pro running OS X10.6.5 I am getting excellent reception and a full 300 Mbits/s connection speed throughout the house. When I boot the MBP into Windows 7, though the reception is still very good, I only get 130 Mbits/s maximum speed. Is there any good reason why performance is so much poorer in 7 than in OS X using the same hardware? All drivers are up to date as far as I can tell.
It seems my initial 300 Mbits/s connection speed was just a short lived phenomenon and now my connection seems to have settled at 130 Mbits/s for both OS X and 7. I also logged my iMac on to the wireless network (though it is usually hard wired) and that initially declared a speed 270 Mbits/s, then briefly 300, but quickly reduced to 130 Mbits/s despite being right next to the AirPort unit. Is there anything I can do to try to restore the higher speeds?

"Confirguration Error" in Airport Admin Utility
When I start up the Airport Admin Utility, an error shows: "Configuration Error: This version of Airport Admin Utility does not support this base station. You can't update the software for this base station...."
My system basics:
Airport Admin Utility v420.31
Airport Extreme (UFO) v4.0.9
I cannot upgrade the Airport firmware due to the above error. I searched in the Apple support site and cannot find the later version of Admin Utility for download.
Please help!!!!Since I am using Mac OS X10.3.9, I cannot use "Airport Utility".
Actually, I try "Airport Admin Utility for Graphite and Snow" but another error message prompted up. That is :"Airport Admin Utility does not support this base statin. Use Airport Utility, located in the Utility folder...."
So frustrated!!
I try:
Airport Admin Utility --> Failed
Airport Admin Utility v4.25 --> Failed
Airport Utility v5.x --> Failed not support in OS X10.3.9

Airport can no longer read or write the configuration of Time Capsule
I have a MacBook Pro running OSX 10.8.3 and maintained with all available patches. I have also a Time Capsule with version 7.6.3 of the firmware. I use AirPort 6.2. So everything seems to be updated with the latest versions.
This has really been a good setup for nearly a year now, but earlier this month Time Machine suddenly stopped to work and could no longer do backups to the Time Capsule. I have tried to factory reset the Time Capsule several times, but I still get problems when writing the configuration to the Time Capsule. I get an error message saying "An error occurred while updating the configuration".
Airport is furthermore not able to detect the Time Capsule correctly anymore, so I have to configure it by entering the IP address. But after setting up WLAN, disks, etc. and enhanching the security, I just receive the error message when I try to write the config. The Internet connection works perfectly anyway, both via cable and wireless.
Anyone got any tips?Do the setup by ethernet in full isolation from the network.
Start from a full factory reset.
I would recommend you take the firmware back to 7.6.1 or even earlier if the TC is older than 12months. 7.5.2 was very reliable. All these bugs started with 7.6 and the change to Lion.
I would also recommend installing 5.6 utility.
How to load 5.6 into ML.
1. Download 5.6 for Lion.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
Click to open the dmg but do not attempt to install the pkg.. it won't work anyway.
2. Download and install unpkg.
http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
Run unpkg on the desktop.. it is very simple.. drag the AirPortUtility56.pkg file over to unpkg.. and it will create a new directory of the same name on the desktop.. drill down.. applications utilities .. there lo and behold is Airport utility 5.6 .. drag it to your main utilities directory or just run it from current location.
You cannot uninstall 6.1 (now 6.2 if you updated) so don't try.. and you cannot or should not run them both at the same time.. so just ignore the toyland version.. the plastic hammer.. and start using 5.6.. a real tool.

A few days ago i bought the macbook pro in a Providence. In late Summer i will come back to my Country - Ukraine. I would like to know about a tax for my
laptop. Can i return tax? Through the TAX FREE or return in airport? What should i do?You need to talk with the tax authorities in the countries to which you traveled and that of your home country. We are all end-users liek you and not Apple agents.

How do I use my airport extreme with my FIOS router?
How do I use my AirPort Extreme base station with my FIOS Router to extend my network? I have hard disks connected to my AirPort Extreme and would lik to access them.
Probably can't answer all your questions - but.... I use a Linksys (wired and wireless) router as my primary entry point for FIOS. I use a Time Capsule and an Airport Express as a common wireless connection. So I have two visibile wireless networks and use them both depending on where I am in the house. Both the TC and AEx can be seen either wirelessly or wired from the entire network. Note - the Linksys provides all the DHCP - you set the apple routers as "bridge mode."

Forgot password to access my Airport Time Capsule, can't restore Time Machine backup
It is stupid, I know, but after the first time I setup Time Machine in my Airport Time Capsule (6 months ago) i never had to use the password because it stayed stored in my Keychain.
Anyway, couple days ago I had to format the hard drive of my MacBook Pro and I did it thinking that I had a complete data backup stored in my Airport Time Capsule (encrypted data). It was late when I realized that I did not have the password written/stored anywhere. Nothing to do about it, just move on and start all over again.
I need to clean up my Airport Time Capsule and set it to factory default. I already accepted that I will lose all my data and it is okay. So far all I found was how to reset the wifi user/password but nothing about deleting stored data or reset to factory default without having the encrypted password. Can you please help me? Thanks in advance!The encrypted data is not related to the Time Capsule.. that is purely Time Machine.
Very sorry for you.. it is one big danger when you encrypt.
Reset to factory.
Factory reset universal
Power off the TC.. ie pull the power cord or power off at the wall.. wait 10sec.. hold in the reset button.. be gentle.. power on again still holding in reset.. and keep holding it in for another 10sec. You may need some help as it is hard to both hold in reset and apply power. It will show success by rapidly blinking the front led. Release the reset.. and wait a couple of min for the TC to reset and come back with factory settings. If the front LED doesn’t blink rapidly you missed it and simply try again. The reset is fairly fragile in these.. press it so you feel it just click and no more.. I have seen people bend the lever or even break it. I use a toothpick as tool.
N.B. None of your files on the hard disk of the TC are deleted.. this simply clears out the router settings of the TC.
Wipe the hard disk. Open the airport utility go to the disk tab. Click on erase disk.
Select just quick erase.. it just deletes the file table and is not secure but fine for your purposes. -
New Airport Extreme restarts/disconnects/boots all devices if specific MacBook joins wirelessly...?
Preface:
This is my second new AEBS in two weeks. They've both had this issue (which seems unique from the other disconnect postings I've found), so it's not AEBS hardware. I've also had a perfectly functioning Airport Express in the exact same configuration (sans dual-band of course) for the last two years, so interference and the like (for which I did test and troubleshoot) also seems unlikely. I have a 2008 Macbook, a mid 2009 Macbook Pro, a Windows 7 PC, an iPhone 4, and iPhone 4s, and an iPad on the network.
Issue:
After setting up my AEBS, I kept getting knocked off at random, frequent intervals. It would disappear from all my devices simultaneously--no network connections and nothing showing in Airport Utility. I tweaked every setting imaginable five times over. No luck. Looked into networks around me and fiddled with channels etc. No luck. At first, I would have to go unplug and replug the AEBS to get it to show back up. Eventually I managed to get it to where it would just "reset" more or less and come back on in about 30-45 seconds. The light on the router will blink green once, and then two seconds later go solid amber for about 10-15 seconds, and then blink amber for another 10 or so. Then it's back like nothing happened.
I think that I finally narrowed it down today to what is triggering it more or less. I noticed it was fine with everything connected WITHOUT any security. When I added the WPA2 security back on, it was doing it soon after the older Macbook connected, right after "Installed unicast CCMP key for supplicant 3c:d0:f8:8e:31:b5". I could connect the Macbook through ethernet and be fine. If it did connect without the issue, it would do it soon after when the router would run that "Installed unicast CCMP" process again in a mere matter of minutes.
I decided that maybe having old OSX Leopard wasn't working well, so I finally upgraded it to Snow Leopard to see if maybe it would help. No luck. Exact same issue. I disabled Airport on it, and since then I'm going on 5 hours of no issues, but why is this computer causing the AEBS to freak out when it worked 100% with my Airport Express for years???

I have roughly the same issue. I have a new 5th Generation (I had a 4th Generation that seemed to do the same thing) that will reboot for no apparant reason. I have a 1st Generation Time Capsule as the main wireless access point, then a 2nd generation Extreme extending, and the 5th generation as another extension. I also have an Express extending to the top floor. All my other devices work great, but the new 5th generation will just reboot over and over. Seems to be every 5 - 10 minutes. I have it setup in the middle of my house, with some devices connected to it via ethernet cable. I used to have the Express in that location connected to a switch for my devices, and never had any issues. My log looks similar, basically nothing useful. -
New Airport Extreme802.11n &Very Odd Network&Computer Issues
Hi,
We Replaced a D-Link DGL4300 802.11G and a Airport Express M9470LL/A with the most current Airport Extreme Base Station 802.11N 2.4Ghz and 5.0Ghz Dual Band and a Airport Express 802.11N (to use with a Shared USB HP1022 Laser Jet Printer. I have contacted Apple Tech Support once regarding setup and mentioned this other ? strange issue(s)
We have broadband cable that goes to a Motorola SB5101(meets ISP specs) then Ethernet cable
from Cable Modem to Wan Port on Airport Extreme. We have multiple computers all with wireless capability 1) Imac 800mhz 874 mb ram 802.11bAirport Card 2) eMac 1.0 Ghz 1gb ram Airport Extreme 802.11bWireless Card
3) eMac 1.25 Ghz 1.0gb ram and a Airport Extreme 802.11bWireless Card* all running OSX Panther 10.3.9 *and each with 802.11B wireless cards 4) Macbook Pro bought Dec 2009 running Snow Leopard 4gb ram and 250gb HDand 802.11n wireless card 5) HP Tower xw4550 running Win XP Pro SP3 4gb ram 500GB HD and a 802.11G wireless card 6) Dell Mini Net Book running Win XP Home SP3 1ghz 1gb ram 150 GB HD and a
802.11n wireless card.
At first tried setting up the Airport Extreme with the Dell Mini as it met specs and (as of Yesterday) the Mac Book Pro is with one of our children at college but was able to set up setting up the Airport Utility and Hardware for both Peripheral Devices with the Mac Book Pro.
Then things got odd. All the computers were online (as well as two wireless "Live" capable gaming systems XBox360 and Sony PS3 , I did not check my eMac until the next day
and when I woke it from sleep (or started it) I got "You need to restart your computer"
? Kernel Panic , I ran Disk Utility, Tech Tool Deluxe, Apple Hardware Test and even Applejack. no change and while permissions were repaired Tech Tool Deluxe and The Apple Hardware Test showed no faults with anything, Tried PRAM. restart etc, then we had the other eMac 1.0ghz which has been unused since the Mac Book Pro arrived as a gift, Plugged it in , started it up, and got online, no black screen, even checked and responded to email, then restarted the (2nd eMac 1.0ghz) and the "You need to restart your computer screen came up!) once seems oh maybe, possibly its crashed, or dying out
but two side by side, No Way! , so we then isolated electrical outlets, to the extent with a 100 foot extension cord outside on our back breezeway, same thing. We even went and bought a new battery and tried it in both , no change, * Was able to shut off the airport card in safe mode, restarted and it functioned as a normal computer with airport extreme card off
*same with the 1.0ghz emac airport card off and restart and functions as a computer but no online access. We then moved one close to the Airport Extreme and hooked up by ethernet and changed the settings and Bingo no Kernel Panic Like screen and can get online, tried the other same thing! So currently the two eMacs sit side by side and we bought a long ethernet cord and it works on the table where it originally was,
I did mention this to the Apple Technician that called from Apple regarding a setup issue (as have 90 days telephone support) and he said *That there have been reports of where there are with a Guest Network (we had one set up and He had us remove it as He asked if we really needed it and I said no AND also with networks with computers with wireless cards 802.11b
and 802.11g computers on a network with the802.11n computers and a 802.11n Airport Extreme, he could not explain it any further, he suggested a possible 3rd party software incompatibilty : recent download (but have not done any on the 1.25ghz eMac and the 1.0ghz has been shut
off since Dec 2009. I am baffled , my Wife and I were seriously considering buying a new Imac to replace the 1.25ghz after the Black screen showed up, but when the other one did the same, and did the trouble shooting and then the ethernet connect we saved ourselves a lot of money (t would be nice to have a new Imac but $$ is not there)
and in the past week now (could be our ISP) our Internet connection has dropped off 4 times usually for 30-45 minutes but Friday 8-20-10 it was over 3 hours (yet our Cable TV came in) I will contact our ISP who handles both the broadband about the outages
and our cable TV has been fuzzy -grainy at times, I called Them Friday and their were no outages in our area (system wide) Now though (except with Win XP) that is our access to the Airport Extreme and Utility (it blinks orange off and on when the internet is down) the Airport Express has stayed green each time. I will contact Apple also as ?
is it the Airport Extreme (but its intermittent) channels are set to automatically if thats helpful data rather than set to a specific channel, its fairly rural where we live
I thought of buying Tiger but saw the extreme prices and I called Apple per a recent Apple Thread they did not have Tiger Retail(nor did I expect then to) but after discussing
the Emacs they said why pay so much for Tiger (and a lot are used) they said and went over both eMacs specs and I checked in detail online and called them back as it was in a "card hold" and bought Leopard 10.5.6 (as min of 512 ram, DVD drive (have a combo -drive) and a Power PCG4 which both are and I am now getting unused (non System) data off the eMac and backing it up as well and its job will be to be able to access the Airport Utility (Apple OSX Leopard 10.5.6 was $129.00 plus tax free shipping and it arrived yesterday so if settings need changed can do that (with Win XP the Airport Utility
was so different and after about 4 hours and no progress I stopped and switched to he Laptop the next day!
Has anyone experienced anything like this, I read up on both peripherals before buying and called as well to the Apple Online Store to make sure we could 1) set it up and 2) all computers specs were met to be able to a)use the network for online use and b)as well as shared printing from any and all computers and they do meet the specifications
* one last item , my Wife's Imac is also on via Ethernet, It asked for a WEP password and that was not a option in the Airport Utility set up ,only WPA-WPA2 Personal password-Security configuration
so She is not on wirelessly (though I know She has been as in the past, Her Imac was on a desk in the foyer ) That may have been with the 802.11b Apple Airport white dome and not the D-Link 802.11G router of which we had a lot of configuration issues
*I could be wrong and will read up on her specs via the Mac Tracker application or online
Many Thanks, Its so odd I did not want to leave out data etc but its a *long post and I apologize for that, I hope some one can send some light on this. On a positive avoided buying a new computer!
but makes no sense (at least to us)!

Motorola docsis 2 Surfboard Cable Modem SB5101I too have a MacBook Pro (running OS X 10.6.6) and a PowerBook G4 (1.67 GHz, OS X 10.4.11) and an AirPort Extreme 802.11n. I configured the new AirPort Extreme Base Station N last week using the MacBook Pro and the PowerBook can no longer operate with AirPort on (Restart Computer message). A rep at the Genius Bar indicated that WPA2 encryption might interfere with the G4?? He recommended setting up WEP encryption, this is no longer an option using the AirPort setup assistant.
It would be very helpful to know how this original post was resolved. The G4 SHOULD be able to work with the AirPort Extreme 802.11n in theory, right??
