Airport Management Utility on Intel Mac

I followed the diedctions in post
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2565266&#2565266
but it quits unexpectidly. Any way to get it working on 10.5.2?

May I ask why you want to use an OS 10.4, Tiger utility in a OS 10.5.2 environment?
Have you applied the OS 10.5, AirPort 5.3.1 Utility and the 802.11n Firmware upgrade 7.3.1?

Aiport Management Utility on Intel Macs

I just downloaded the Airport Management Utility on to my Mac Book Pro. While it runs OK on an iBook G4, it refuses to run on the Mac Book Pro, giveing a message that it needs Airport 3.4 or higher. Also The accompanying Airport client monitor works fine.
The MacBook is running OS X 10.4.6 and there S/W update states the computer is up to date.
Is this a known problem and will and update be available soon ?

Intel Macbook and Airport management Utility

I am trying to set up airport management utility on my new Intel Macbook Pro. I have downloaded the utility and attempted to open it and get an error stating that it requires Airport 3.4. The update doesn't work and I believe I must have the latest Airport update. Might this be an Intel Mac issue?

PowerBook Can't Run Airport Management Utility

I'm still trying to find out why my PowerBook can't run Airport Management Utility, even though all of my other Airport software is up to date. When I try to launch the utility, it gives the message that it "requires Airport 3.4 or later", which I do already have.
Below is a description of my latest effort, followed by my original question, which has been archived in this discussion group.
I created and logged in via a new user account, but I still got the same 'requires Airport 3.4 or later' message from Airport Management Utility. I took it from this that the problem was not related to user preferences.
I then used Spotlight to search the Library folder. The only airport pref I found there was com.apple.airport.preferences.plist, located in this path: Macintosh HD/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration.
The computer would not let me move this to the desktop, but copied it instead. I can open that copy in TextEdit, but if I double click on it, it actually launches in OmniOutlner. A check via "Get Info" shows that it is set to "Open with: OmniOutliner" from the drop down menu in the Get Info box.
If you open this plist in OmiOutliner, you find the information I've listed below. It appears to show that the file does know the Airport software version is "5" and not less than 3.4:
• Disconnect on logout 0
• AllowEnable 0
▶ Default 802.1X Configurations
• InterferenceRobustness 0
• Require Admin for network 0
change
• JoinMode 1
• Always remember new networks 1
▶ List of known networks
• Version 5
• Require Admin for IBSS creation 1
• Fallback Preference 0
The only other items in the Library folder with "airport" in the name are both in the Receipts folder: AirportTI2005-001.pkg and AirportConfigApps.pkg.
I'd welcome your thoughts on this.
My original posting was:
I have the newest PowerBook G4 , purchased this fall with Mac OS X 10.4.3 and AirPort Update 2005-001 installed.
When I try to run Airport Management utility I get the message : " "The Airport Management Utility requires Airport 3.4 or later. Click Update to check for newer software." While Airport Management Utility will not run on my PowerBook, it does run on my iMac with 10.3.9.
I've tried:
-installing "AirPort Update 2005-001" but it didn't solve the problem.
-installing "AirPort 4.2 for Mac OS X 10.4.2", thinking that if it were not needed, the installer would not run. It did install, but that did not solve the problem.
-re-installing "AirPort Update 2005-001", which did install a second time, but did not solve the problem. (I thought perhaps the installer for this update wouldn't run a second time.)
Does anyone know of a solution, or does Apple need to update Airport Management Utility?
(I've cross-posted this in the Airport discussion area, but I also wanted to check with others who recently bought the same PowerBook.)
Thanks for your help.

"OK, I've been following this thread since February and I think I got this thing figured out. Joseph Jordan pointed to the right direction and I did some more digging.
I had the same problem as most posters here:
- ALL 10.3 machines had AirPort Management Utility working but,
- NOT ALL 10.4 machines had AirPort Management Utility working.
In my case, no 10.4 computer had AMU working (updated from 10.3 or fresh install of 10.4, Intel or PowerPC, even brand new MacBook Pro and PowerBook G4 out of the box), EXCEPT one xserve that was updated from 10.3.
As I said before, Joseph Jordan pointed to the right direction, the file/folder AirPortConfig.framework in /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/ is missing.
It seems that AirPortConfig.framework was installed when AirPort 4.1 was installed. AirPort 4.2 installs Apple80211.framework only. I think...
In some cases, AirPortConfig.framework is there (updated machines), but the file AirPortConfig is missing in AirPortConfig.framework/Versions/A/
as well as the symbolic links to it and to other folders.
Solution:
The easiest way is to copy the whole AirPortConfig.framework to /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/
If you already have AirPortConfig.framework and AMU is not working, move it to the trash or somewhere else.
I found AirPortConfig.framework in the "AirPort Extreme Software Installation" CD (CD version 4.1 2Z691-5219-A):
1. Open the CD
2. Control-click "AirPort for Mac OX X v10.3" and select Show original
3. Control-click "AirPortSW.pkg" and select Show Package Contents
4. Open Contents
5. Drag Archive.pax.gz to the Desktop

AMU should work at this point.
Alternatively, download "AirPort 4.1 Update.dmg" from
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/airport41formacosx.html
and follow from step 3. above.
This solution seems to work on both Intel and PowerPC machines.

Airport Management Utility on new MacBook Pro does not see base station

I have an old "flying saucer" Airport base station. I
recently started using a new MacBook Pro. Airport
connection is fine, Airport Admin Utility works normally,
but Airport Client Monitor 1.0 shows blank graphs and
Airport Management Utility 1.0 does not "see" the
base station. I don't know if the problem is the
change to Tiger, to Intel, or to AE card. MacStumbler
and friends also are "blind".

Try rebooting the airport, then going to airport utilities and go thru the set up proceedure following the prompts. Also go to system prefernces in location select automatic.

Airport Management Utility

Is there any way to assign a Client Name to the MAC Address Airport Management Utility displays?
Is there any way to determine if a Client is connected 802.11B vs 802.11G?
Thanks
iBook G4, iMac FP 800mhz, iMac DV SE Mac OS X (10.4.5) Airport Extreme/Express

And better yet, a way to turn individual clients on or off. There's no way to do that is there?
No
You can enable the 'access list' feature and list the allowed clients. But this is easily fooled by MAC address cloning.

Airport Management Utility will not run

After having setup a new system computer for a while I have been updating some of my favorite utilities. One of them being the Airport Management Utility (not the admin utility). After finally finding the disk image for the Airport utlities on Apple's site I downloaded and installed. When I try to run the Airport Management Utility I get an error message saying "The Airport Management Utility requires Airport 3.4 or later. Click Update to check for newer software."
When I click update it says that I am up do date. I am running Mac OS X 10.3.9 with all software update recommended updates. I'm trying to figure out what is wrong and it's driving me crazy. This is pretty much a default install of OS X 10.3 and Office 2004
Any help is appreciated
Thanks

Download and install Airport 4.1 from:

There is also an Airport 4.2 update, which I recommend you do not install since it adds little additional functionality, at the risk of causing serious problems with your Mac's Airport interface.

Can't use Airport Management Utility

I can't get the Airport Management Utility to work on my new MBP. It works fine on the G4 desktop, but when I try and run it on the MBP, I get an error message.
"The Airport Management Utility requires Airport 3.4 or later. Click update to check for newer software." There are two buttons in the window, Update and OK. I've clicked update and nothing appears in Software update.
To hedge my bets I've tried installing the version that I have on the G4 desktop with the same error. I've also searched Apple's knowledge base and discussion boards to see if there are reports of similar problems, but I can't find any.
I've also updated the firmware on the Airport Express to the newest version. I don't know how to update the firmware for the airport express card in my MBP. Here's the data from that from System Profiler.
Wireless Card Type: AirPort Extreme (0x168C, 0x86)
Wireless Card Locale: USA
Wireless Card Firmware Version: 0.1.27
Current Wireless Network: 301 Network
Wireless Channel: 1
Any thoughts?

AirPort Management Utility doesn't support "n" Extremes?

Whenever I try to add a new Apple AirPort to the AirPort Management Utility (not the AirPort Utility for configuration) the application quits. I use it to manage losts of AirPorts and need this to work.
Any idea if there will be an update to this software to support the new AirPorts?
AirPort Extreme

As previous poster correctly stated, you must use the new Airport Utility which is (currently at least) available only on the CD that came with your AEBS(n). Note that there is an update to this software available after you have installed Airport Utility. You CANNOT install the update without first having installed the initial version of Airport Utility.
I doubt Airport Admin Utility will ever be updated; it will be replaced by Airport Utility at some time. Airport Utility works with all the older ABS antecedents and Airport Express as well as the newer AEBS(n).

What operating system do you need to run AirPort Management Utility v1 ?

Not sure what's not working for you with the AirPort Management Utility, but the following Apple article describes some missing functionality with OS X 10.2.x clients. (ref: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107940)

Need an audio routing utility for intel mac

hi
i would like to know if there is a utility for intel macs which will allow me to specify which audio output is used by specific applications. to be more specific i would like itunes, DVD player, Eye TV applications output to go via the digital output on my Mac Pro which is linked to my Hifi, and everything else (system sound effects, iChat, etc) to go via the analog output which is linked to small PC speakers.
I am aware of the 'Detour' plugin, which sadly doesn't work on intel Macs, and basically am looking for a similar application for intel Macs
thanks
nick

I might have an answer. After trying every audio routing program I could find, I poked around in Nicecast. I found a deeply buried menu for an output choice of default or 1/2. It was on default so I chose 1 for left and 2 for right and this accomplished what I need. Until I quit the programs. Then I was back to square 1. I disabled Detour and tried a currently supported program, Jack. jack would not even load the currently running programs to be able to route them. So I went back to Detour and had to add Nicecast to it's list. All is well, I hope
In fact I tried another application at the same time and Detour did what it was supposed to, so it looks like my problem might have been with Nicecast all along, but I set the output back to default and it still worked. Maybe after some updates I just need to reset all the preferences? But Detour has not been supported since 2005 and Jack seems useless.

AirPort Management Utility and AirPort Admin Utility

Is there a difference between AirPort Management Utility and Airport Admin Utility? I see that the Airport Management Utility has not been updated for a while while the Airport Admin Utility is more recent. Does the latter replace the former?
Thanks!

Is there a difference between AirPort Management Utility and Airport Admin Utility?
Yes, the Management Utility gives you the ability to monitor some aspects of your Apple base station.
The AirPort Admin Utility allows you configure and control the Apple base station.
Does the latter replace the former?
No

Project Manager working on intel mac??

I recently upgraded to Logic Pro from Express.It's working well except for project manager. It seems not to recognize
Logic song files. I have a folder called projects with my Logic songs and audio files.When I scan it the audio files are found but the songs aren't.As result if I choose select unused audio files all my audio files are selected. So far I've deleted the PM folder,repaired,permissions,uninstalled
logic express and uninstalled/reinstalled Logic and still the problem persist.
I'm wondering if anyone on an intel mac has it working?

I'm suffering the same problems with PM since I moved my system to a new Mac Pro and copied my projects from an old external firewire disk to the new 500 Gb internal disk.
Logic song files are not longer recognized by the Project Manager...
Please keep me informed about your discoveries on this matter. I will.

Reimaging issue with Disk Utility on Intel mac

My department recently acquire 2 intel iMacs (24")
I have a bootable PPC firewire drive on which I keep .dmgs of each machines for redo/updates. With the new machines I partitioned out a firewire drive to GUID and made it a bootable intel OS disk. I am able to create a backup of the first iMac I have configured but unable to use this image to restore the 2nd iMac's hard drive.
I have tried both manually erasing and unmounting the drive but I continually get a Restore Error: Could not open connection to helper tool.
Any ideas?

So you created an image of one iMac onto the FWHD and can't restore it to the second iMac. If you're booting with the second iMac, then you cannot restore the image to a booted volume. You need a separate bootable volume to do that. Easiest thing to do is first restore the configured iMac's HD to the FWHD, then creatte the image. Now you should be able to boot the second iMac with the FWHD, mount the image, and restore it. Or, dispense with the image and just restore the FWHD to the second one.

Apple AirPort Management Tool

After switching from my older ibook to this new Macbook I am unable to use Apple AirPort Management Tools.
This has to be one of the most used applications on my mac at work. Does anyone know if they are updating it because when I try to run it on the new macbook it says “The Airport Management Utitiy requires airport 3.4 or later” So it brings me to software updates and find no updates..
Is there a work around so I can use this or I will need to start caring around two laptops?
