Airport utility 5.6.1 download

I just bought an Airport Express 802.11n andd I can not download Airport Utility 5.6.1, what is the way ?

Are you saying that you cannot download AirPort Utility 5.6.1.....or.....that you cannot install it on your computer?
AirPort Utility 5.6.1 can only be installed on a Mac running Leopard (10.5.x), Snow Leopard (10.6.x) or a PC.
What operating system are you using on your computer at the present time?

  • How do I download AirPort Utility 1.3.3

    I have and iPad running iOS 6.1.3 and I just bought an AirPort Express.
    I went to the support page and it has a link to the 1.3.3 version, but clicking
    on the link takes me to the ITunes store which has 1.3.4.  How do I get
    1.3.3?

    It won't run because I have iOS 6.1.3 on my iPad.
    I have iOS 6.1.3 on my iPad because Apple stopped supporting
    sync and backup with my computer with iOS 7 so upgrading
    to iOS 7 is a non-starter.
    AirPort 1.3.3 is the version supported on iOS 6.
    Apple's support page has a link to AirPort 1.3.3 at
    AirPort Utility software and firmware downloads - Apple Support
    but it doesn't do what it says, it only points to 1.3.4.
    So once again the subject question....

  • Loaded Mountain Lion and time capsule no longer works, airport utility can't be configured, back ups have stopped, sparse bundle in use errors occur, what a mess!!!!

    Should Airport Utility now be defunct for my time capsule because I have upgraded OS to Mountain Lion? I have tried every fix I can think of but AU will not set up. I'm also getting repeated time machine back up failures and now I have a new "sparsebundleinuse" error which is totally useless to me, I have no idea what a sparse bundle is, I have no idea what it's suddenly being used by and there's no information to say what to do about it. Apple is killing me here!!!

    I've tried to but on the install for Airport Utility 6, after the download I get through the introduction then the license then I get "airport utility can't be installed on this disk. The version of Mac OS X on this volume is not supported" and that's it, no more options!?

  • Can't install Airport Utility 5.6 in OSX 10.7.5

    I have a 2005 Airport Extreme that I manage using an iMac running Mac OSX 10.7.5. I recently tried to access my airport to check the IP address. Airport Utility could not access the Airport and told me that I needed to install Airport Utility 5.6 to access the Airport. I installed AU 5.6 and tried to access the Airport, but this time was told that this version of AU does not work with Mac OSX 10.7.5. So I downloaded AU 6.2. On this third attempt to access my Airport, I was told that this version of AU does not work with this Airport  and I need to install version 5.6. I'm stuck. Does anyone have any suggestions (other than buying a new Airport, that is).
    Thanks for the help,
    Paul

    Make sure you download it from this URL
    AirPort Utility 5.6 for Mac OS X Lion
    It should install without any difficulty.
    AU 5.6.1 is for the latest AirPort Base Stations for systems running Snow Leopard.
    NB from the following
    AirPort Base Station: How to set up and configure an 802.11g AirPort Extreme Base Station or AirPort Express in OS X Lion
    If you are using OS X Lion and wish to set up or configure an older 802.11g AirPort Extreme Base Station, or 802.11g AirPort Express, manually download and install AirPort Utility 5.6. AirPort Utility 5.6 can be used to configure earlier 802.11g AirPort Extreme Base Station, and AirPort Express; it can also be used for 802.11n AirPort base stations.
    To obtain and use AirPort Utility 5.6:
    Go to http://support.apple.com/downloads/.
    Search for AirPort Utility 5.6 and download it.
    Allow AirPort Utility 5.6 to install.
    Open AirPort Utility from the /Applications/Utilities folder.
    Note: If you are configuring or setting up a newer AirPort Base Stations that support 802.11n, you should use AirPort Utility 1.0 for iOS or AirPort Utility 6.0 for OS X Lion, or later.
    You can have both AirPort Utility 6.0 and 5.6 in the /Applications/Utilities folder.
    AirPort Utility 5.6 will appear in the /Applications/Utility folder as "AirPort Utility 5.6"
    AirPort Utility 6.0 will appear as "AirPort Utility"

  • Installing Airport Utility 5.6.1 in order to configure older Airport Extreme/g model doesn't work as it won't install with OS 10.8.5 Mountain Lion. Solution?

    I need to configure Airport Extreme Base Station 802.11b/g but Airport Utility 6.3.1 will not work. 
    I found this page:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5022
    it recommends installing Airport Utility 5.6 which downloads as 5.6.1
    but it will not install on Mountain Lion OS 10.8.5
    so what to do?

    AirPort Utility 5.6.1 is for Snow Leopard. Use 5.6 for Lion or Mountain Lion.
    You can use the following workaround to install AirPort Utility 5.6 on a Lion or Mountain Lion Mac:
    Be sure to read the caveats at the end.
    Lion / Mountain Lion's package installer will refuse to install superseded versions of AirPort Utility. Instead you will need to use a package extractor such as Pacifist or unpkg. Pacifist is shareware, unpkg is free.
    Download Pacifist here: http://www.charlessoft.com/
    Download unpkg here: http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
    Download AirPort Utility 5.6 here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
    When the AirPort Utility .dmg file finishes downloading, open it to expand and reveal the AirPortUtility56.pkg package installer file.
    Directions for Pacifist (I do not have screenshots for unpkg but the idea is similar):
    Open Pacifist and from its File menu, navigate to the package and open it.
    Click the "reveal triangles" until you see AirPort Utility 5.6.app:
    Select it and then click Install from Pacifist's toolbar. It will then be installed in your Utilities folder, and you can quit Pacifist.
    The most recent version of AirPort Utility included with Mountain Lion should be used to configure 802.11n - capable AirPort Base Stations. Make no attempt to delete it. It and the older version (which will bear the unique name "AirPort Utility 5.6") can peacefully coexist. Use the older version only as necessary for older AirPort Base Stations that cannot be administered any other way.
    If you happen to have an archived copy of the AU 5.6 app somewhere, such as a Time Machine backup or equivalent, you can simply restore it or drag the app to your Mountain Lion system's Utilities folder instead of resorting to the above procedure. It will run without complaint. It is only the package installer that is the problem.
    Keep in mind that Apple's decision to abandon support for the original AirPort Express and AEBS was for reasons known only to them. Remember that you are using obsolete equipment, should some future OS X feature not work for you.

  • Lost connection to one of my Airport express units. Serial number 44500WQV0. Message in Airport Utility is to use Version 5.6 to configure base station. I have version 6.3.1. Both airport express units bought at same time few years ago.

    Hello all.
    Lost my connection to one of two airport express units. Both purchased few years ago. Use them to stream music to house speakers via WiFi. I have v6.3.1 of Airport Utility. Message says to use v5.6 to reconfigure this base station.
    How do I do that, please?

  • 5.4.2 of utility: "A newer version of AirPort Utility is required."

    The Airport Utility for osx 5.4.2 pops up this warning when I try to configure the base station.
    "A newer version of AirPort Utility is required.
    This version of AirPort Utility doesn't support this Apple wireless device and might improperly configure the device if you continue to use it. Use the version of AirPort Utility that came on the CD with your Apple wireless device. Check www.apple.com/support/airport for the latest version of AirPort Utility."
    Maybe I'm tripping but I believe 5.4.2 is the latest version?

    +So what do we do when someone has the newest Time Capsule (late 2009) but cannot find the install disc?+
    You would need to call Apple customer support. Apple has not posted AirPort Utility 5.5 for download because...according to a "genius" at the Apple store....Version 5.5 is not fully compatible with earlier versions of the AirPort Extreme, Time Capsule and AirPort Express.

  • Airport Utility for OSX 10.10.2?

    Hello.
    I have Airport Utility for Windows...
    I have a Mac Book Pro and would rather use Airport Utility here. I downloaded AU latest version and it says it's not compatible with my OS version.
    Is there a proper version for Yosemite, or do I need to use a Windows machine to manage my Apple hardware?
    Help!
    R

    You already have the most up to date version of AirPort Utility installed on your Mac using Yosemite (10.10.2)

  • HT4259 KB article is out of date--how do you "allow this network to be extended" on AirPort Utility 6.x?

    The current KB article about extending wireless networks is out of date--how do you "allow this network to be extended" on AirPort Utility 6.x? These instructions describe v. 5.x.

    In my case, the option was required, so the problem was that it wasn't available. When I used v6.2 to extend the network on the secondary AP Express, it gave an error saying the network couldn't be extended.
    Once I booted Snow Leopard from an external drive, I was able to follow the instructions in HT4259 with v5. Once I checked the "allow this network to be extended" on the primary AP Express, the secondary AP Express started extending the network as it should.
    While v5 of the AirPort Utility is available for download, it won't work on Mountain Lion, so this solution wouldn't work for most people, who don't keep old operating systems lying around.

  • Cannot install Airport Utility 5.6 update.

    Cannot install Airport Utility 5.6 update.
    Trying to install my Airport extreme.  Macbook is running OSX lion 10.7.5  (Does anyone know why or have had a similar problem) ? Please Help

    AirPort Utility for Lion is for OS X version 10.7.2 only. It won't install on 10.7.5. It won't work for the newest 802.11ac AirPort Extreme either, so if you have one of them use the newest version of AirPort Utility.

  • Airport Utility and Firmware Q

    Having just downloaded Airport Utility (5.3.2), I noticed the menu Base Station > Upload Firmware gives me the option of uploading firmware versions 5.5.1, 5.6, 5.7, or "other".
    Does this really mean what it says? I am running firmware 5.5.1 due to the problems I've heard of with subsequent versions, and want the option of going back to it if necessary.
    From what source would the firmware originate? Is it already contained in Airport Utility or does AU download it from a server somewhere?
    Do 5.6 or 5.7 offer any advantages over 5.5.1 anyway?

    This is my concern:
    From what source would the firmware originate? Is it already contained in Airport Utility or does AU download it from a server somewhere?
    I want to know that if 5.7 gives me heartburn, I can go back down to 5.5.1...

  • Attempted to install AirPort Utility 6.0 on my new mac mini. Install failed and now the previous version 5.5.3 won't open. I downloaded and tried to instal 6.0 without software update, which failed, and my old 5.5.3 AirPort Utility still won't open? Help.

    Now the previous version won't open. I downloaded and tried to instal 6.0 without software update, which failed, and my old 5.5.3 Airport Utility still won't open.
    iTunes no longer recognizes my airport express.
    Error Message:
    None of the selected updates could be installed.
    An unexpected error occurred.
    Can't delete Airport Utility and reinstal from scratch as it is, “AirPort Utility” can’t be modified or deleted because it’s required by Mac OS X.
    Any sugestions?

    I reinstalled AirPort 5.5.3 which worked, but the app still won't launch but iTunes now recognizes my AirPort Express, I just hope I don't want to change its settings.

  • Downloaded iOS 7 on my iPhone 4S and cant connect to airport utility.  speakers still work wirelessly from computer so i know it isnt the wiifii connection.  shows everything is connected but when i play a song on itunes the icon doesnt show up for airpor

    I downloaded ios 7 on my iphone 4s and cant play itunes from my iphone to my speakers through airport utility.  it shows im connected thro wifii.  i can play the speakers wirelessly from itunes on my computer so i know its my phone since ios 7 downloaded.  even the icons on the song that turn on the speakers are missing.  what do i have to do to get it back?  Ive deleted airport utility and reinstalled it.  i shutdown my phone and the airport base and wifii and restarted everything.  nothing seems to b helping.

    I just encountered this problem for the first time and stumbled upon this forum to find a solution.  I played around with it a bit and it seems that if you slide your finger from the bottom up, you will come upon that new screen that will allow you to do various functions with your phone (put it in airport mode, lock, etc.), you can select your Airport from this screen and play your music wirelessly from your phone; at least this was my experience. Hope this helps!

  • I have a linksys WRT54G router that we use as a base. I want to use Airplay using Airport Express and hook up my stereo to it. How can i set up my Airport express without a PC/laptop? I just downloaded Airport utility on my iphone and ipad,will that work?

    I have a linksys WRT54G router that we use as a base. I want to use Airplay using Airport Express and hook up my stereo to it. How can i set up my Airport express without a PC/laptop? I just downloaded Airport utility on my iphone and ipad,will that work? And one more thing about the setup, the linksys router shich acts as a base is in a different room as the airport express which i wanted to use for airplay. So I'm hoping to hook up the Airport express via wireless signal. If i can set it up, can someone pls help me out by posting detailed instructions. Thanks so much!

    The first message that AirPort Utility will display during the auto setup will be that the Express will be confgured to "extend" the network. When AirPort Utility analyzes the network further, and sees that the Express cannot "extend" the 3rd party network, the next message will indicate that the Express is being configured to "join" the wireless network.
    Once the Express is configured, if you later go into AirPort Utility to check the settings under the Wireless tab, you will see that the Wireless Mode is indeed "Join a wireless network".
