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
Dan

Download and install Airport 4.1 from:
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/airport41formacosx.html
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.

  • 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    Below is a description of my latest effort, followed by my original question, which has been archived in this discussion group.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
    6. Double-click Archive.pax.gz to unarchive the file
    7. AirPortConfig.framework is in ~/Desktop/Archive/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks
    8. Drag AirPortConfig.framework to /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/ You will be asked to authenticate.
    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.
    Computers tested: Power Mac G5, Powerbook G4 12" and 17", MacBook Pro.
    IMPORTANT: I do not know if this solution breaks anything. CAVEAT EMPTOR!"

  • 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?

    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

    change to Tiger, to Intel, or to AE card. MacStumbler
    and friends also are "blind".

  • Updated airport utility will not work on older Airport Extreme

    I have a mid-2011 Macbook Air with OS 10.9.4. So that's up-to-date. I recently updated my Airport Utility to version 6.2. I have an old Airport Extreme. The new Airport utility will not work with the old Airport Extreme. Apple will not let me download the older Airport Utility, because I have a newer one installed: classic Catch-22. Any ideas? I need to find out my SSID to connect with a new Denon AVR receiver. Is there any way to find out my SSID with Airport Utility?

    You must first uninstall AU 6.2 before you can install an older version. This may be removed by the mods so get it while you can:

  • 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).

  • ITunes 10 will not run on Windows 7, 64 bit

    I have upgraded to itunes 10 and now it will not run. In task manager the process is running but no programme. i uninstalled all itunes, quick step, bonjour and apple folders. Then tried a clean instal of itunes 10. Still didn't work. Uninstalled again and reloaded v 9.2 and it works. Tried disabling bonjour and ran the instal of 10 again and it still doesn't work. This is becoming a major pain as I am stuck on v9.2.

    Try installing the version 10 again so we can check on a few other characteristics of the problem, seeoh.
    (1) Does your QuickTime Player launch, or do you get an error message of some kind when you try to launch that?
    (2) Try (by way of experiment) disabling the BonJour Service.
    In your Start Menu, right-click Computer and select "Manage".
    Expand "Services & Applications".
    Open "Services". (Maximise the window to better see what's going on.)
    Right-click the BonJour Service and select "Properties". In the "General" tab, set Start-up type to "Disabled".
    Restart the PC, and try launching iTunes again. Does it launch this time?

  • Disk Images will not mount and Disk Utility will not runru

    I am having some major problems with Disk Utility, Disk Images, and software update. First, Disk utility will not open or run. When I double-click the application icon, nothing happens, no message, nothing. I am running OSX 10.4.11. I have deleted diskutility prefs. I am able to run Disk Utility from the Startup DVD of Tiger. On first run, it verified and repaired permissions. I run verify and repair permissions several more times from Startup DVD and everything is fine. But Disk Utility on my startup HD will not work. Similary, NONE of my disk images will mount. No matter what Disk Image i try to mount, nothing will. And I cannot use Disk utility to mount them! So, no matter what I download, no images will mount. And thirdly, when I try to run software update, it will not work. I do get a message: it says, "Could not load Software Update." Finally, i tried to download Onyx to delete log files, etc.. but again, the disk image will not mount. I was able to install a dashboard widget called "maintidget" and was successful in running the daily, weekly, and monthly maintenance tasks. Can anyone help? Everything else works fine!!! All apps! Safari, Mail, iTunes, MS Office, everything works fine. Thanks for ANY help!

    Previously, I had run verify permissions, repair permissions multiple times(from startup DVD) - no probems found. Deleted disk utility prefs. Run the maintenance taskes (daily, weekly, monthly). Nothing worked. But, I forget to check the drive for problems. So I ran disk scan. It found "invalid node" and repair disk could not do it. So, do I erase and do a fresh install or get DiskWarrior? I am running Leopard so I do not have Time Machine but I have backed up my documents, iTunes Library, iPhoto Library, etc... Another thing I found out the hardway is to sync all your bookmarks, mail settings and messages, etc... with .mac if you have an account. Any more suggetions?

    Hi. 
    I have read in these forums and am still lost.  I know my answer should be in hre somewhere, but if it is I am unable to understand it, so be patient as I may be reasking an already answered question.
    I try to be a good lil girl and follow forum rules, but am lost here.
    I bought a new laptop, a Dell 17R  It runs Win 7 I think. Lots of ROM/RAM.  I dowloaded the desktop program from bb dot com and cannot get it to work.  First it asked me to trouble shoot, and reconfigured the DT prog for Win XP.
    It then acknowledged my Torch and dld my photos.  Then it decided I didn't have space and undid whatever it did.
    NOW I cannot get the program, once it opens to recognise my phone at all! ACK!!
    I need someone who understands this gobbltygook to explain to me what to do.  I need to unload my photos, as I use my phone to take pix more than I would have thought.
    I am a photog, and it's better than my first digital this Torch 9800 is, and video quality, OMG, but the vids are too big to upload from the phone..........(IDK why cuz it did at Christmas?)
    Anyway, please help me here, as I can use a computer, e-mail, Facebook, Picassa, other than that, IDK too much about them.  (It took my YEARS to spring for this laptop)
    Thank you in advance for your patience.

    I have the same issue.  It gets to a desktop manager picture and just freezes.

  • Firefox 4.0 will not find update to 4.0.1, add-ons for 4.0.1 will not run

    30 May 2011, 18:22h UTC
    Downloaded 4.0 UK-edition on my laptop, the 4.0 US-edition on my desktop, and the 4.0 UK-edition on a 2nd laptop.
    On mine, updates to 4.0.1 are not found, some add-ons were taken off, as incompatible, that ran on the 4.0 on my desktop (and weren't on the 2nd laptop). Add-ons, now already even compatible with 4.0.1 (running on the 2nd laptop) will not run as 'incompatible' with 4.0 (though listed on the add-ons site as compatible.
    It has stopped telling me that 'something' is pretending to be an update from Firefox (whatever that 'something' be?) since setting the browser to updating manually, but asking me first what to do. All currently installed add-ons have not asked me for some time (though on other computers), and also report as fully up-t0-date.
    Ergo: Neither Firefox 4.0 nor any installed add-ons update correctly.
    Didn't crash, though it 'likes' doing that after printing (always Badly! with dreadful printing options/previews), leaving two tabs (rather than the one before), both of which only can be shut from their context menus. Crash reports have been sent with same email address, but not been answered. This browser has all the qualities of a Beta-release and needs some serious overhauls (it's also not very new or much safer!).
    Example for an add-on that won't install on 4.0, but will under 4.0.1: CookieMonster - which is desperately needed, given your browser still suffers from minimal, insufficient cookie management, incl. lists of domains that wish to set 'another' cookie when no cookies are as yet, allegedly, sitting on the computer.

    I've since updated manually to 4.0.1, but haven't yet tried the full uninstall version, because I have to export plenty of settings first (and/or manually copy them). Also means I'd have to start from scratch with many customizations in No Script.
    That said, I'll try the 'Safe Mode' option tonight, thank you :-)!
    If I have to uninstall the whole shebang, I'd be more tempted to go back to 3.6.x until a few more of 4's teething problems (e.g. the messy print dialogues, particularly preview, which regularly doesn't even work) have been tackled.
    Thanks-1M! for now - keep you posted.

  • Itunes 10 will not run

    Windows XP will not run iTunes 10.  Clean install of Windows, installed and uninstalled twice.  After agreeing to the itunes contact nothing happens.  Running AVG free and it was disabled during the second install.  What to do?

    7 september 2010
    For some reason (Firewall / Internet security programs?) the Apple iTunes installation program doesn't install all the necessary components.
    There is a way to manually unpack the installation program to it's 6 different components and install each component one by one.
    (Advantage: you don't need to uninstall or deactivate your security programs)
    Best thing to do is:
    1) Download the iTunes installation program (directly from the Apple website
    http://www.apple.com )to your desktop,
    WITHOUT INSTALLING the iTunes application.
    2) Download he WinRAR decompression/unpack utility (for example from:
    http://download.cnet.com/WinRAR-32-bit/3000-2250_4-10007677.html?tag=recommended Downloads )
    and install it on your desktop for easy use.
    3) Unpack the iTunes installation program, using WinRAR by rightclicking the
    iTunes installation program and choose 'Open with WinRAR'.
    Don't bother with the message from WinRAR about files beïng corrupt
    (these are probably the unreadable 'Apple Mac' files).
    4) You'l see that the original iTunes installation program consists of 6
    different installation programs.
    4 utility programs (necessary for iTunes to work correctly)
    - Apple Application Support (Version: 1.3.2)
    - Apple Software Update (Version: 2.1.2.120)
    - Apple Mobile Device Support (Version: 3.2.0.47)
    - Bonjour (Version: 2.0.3.0)
    and 2 main programs
    - Quicktime
    - iTunes
    Copy these 6 programs to your desktop with WinRAR,
    where they will appear unpacked.
    5) Install each program one by one IN CORRECT ORDER:
    - First the 4 utility programs, one by one.
    - Following this, install QuickTime.
    - Install iTunes as last.
    6) Check the Windows installed programs list to see if they're all installed.
    You can check the versions of te programs by clicking the information toolbar
    for each program.
    Good Luck..!

  • Extension Manager CS5 will not open in Windows XP

    I have been trying to install any extension in the EM CS5 and it will not open. I have removed it and re-installed several times with no luck. Is there an update or something I need to do to make this work? It will not run through Dreamweaver as well.
    Thanks,

    1. If "C:\Documents and Settings\<YourUserName>\Application Data\Adobe\Extension Manager CS5\Configuration\Extensions\exman_uiPreferences.mxl" exists, delete this file.
    2. Each CS product which Extension Manager supports has a file named XManConfig.xml. If Extension Manager can not find this file from a CS product, Extension Manager will not integrate this product. So in order to determine the cause, you can rename XManConfig.xml for all CS products temporarily (You can find this file under installation directory or its configuration sub-directory of each CS product), as a result, Extension Manager will not integrate any product.
    3. Try to launch Extension Manager, if it can be launched successfully, then rename XManConfig.xml back one by one and launch Extension Manager again after each rename. If Extension Manager can not launched after you rename XManConfig.xml back for a certain product, then the problem is relevant to this product, please generate log files to assist troubleshooting. You can read other threads in this forum to learn how to generate log files. Of course, if you don't need Extension Manager to manage extensions for a specific product, you don't need restore name of XManConfig.xml for that product.
    4. If Extension Manager can not be launched even if no any product is integrated,also please generate log files.
