Airport Utility 5.6.1 issue in Windows 7

Hi,
I downloaded Airport Utility v5.6.1 and installed in WIndows 7.I have Time Capsule (4th Gen). After I open the Airport Utilty Iam getting an message "Airport Utility was unable to find any Aiport Wireless Devices...blah blah" Has anyone installed Aiport Utility in Windows 7 and is it working fine? Appreciate your support.

This is common enough..
Plug the TC into the computer by ethernet.. turn off wireless and do this in full isolation from the network.. so the only thing plugged into the TC is computer.
Set all names to SMB compliant.. Apple uses default names which are difficult for windows.
Names are short.. 2-20 characters .. shorter the better.. great name for TC.. is TC.
No spaces.
Pure alphanumeric.. no apple apostrophe they love to show ownership I guess.
Fred Blog's big new Time Capsule Might look like a terrific name.. but it is truly awful.
TRY FBTC.
That includes btw, the TC name and wireless name as well as disk share name.. which by default does comply.. ie data.

  • How to Install Airport Utility in a differant language to windows

    Hi,
    I have a German Windows XP PC. How do I get the Airport Utility (For the new AirPort Extreme 802.11n) to install in a different language (English)?
    Thanks for your help,
    Adam

    The application is always going to install in whatever language you have the PC set to. The only way I can think to change this is to change your installation from German to English.

  • Airport Extreme 802.11n connectivity issues with Windows Vista

    I recently purchased the 802.11n airport exterme base station and set it up using my MacBook Pro laptop. During the configuration process I set the security to be WEP enabled since there are other computers on my network, one of which has only an 802.11b wifi card, that can only accept WEP security protocol. The set up worked great and I was surfing on the internet with my Mac in no time.
    When I go to connect to the 802.11n extreme base station with my Windows Vista desktop PC, I cannot get any type of connection. I re-entered the Network SSID to match that on the AE base station and re-entered the WEP enabled password.
    Is there a compatibility issue between the Airport Extreme Base Station and Windows Vista? I realize that the base station works on XP based PCs but not sure why it could not work on a Vista machine. Any help anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated.

    Upon further review I determined the flaw with my earlier attempts to set up the airport exterme base station with my winodws vista desktop pc. I realized that I should not use a WEP key but rather a WPA key since the wireless adpater connected to my desktop is a wireless G enabled adapter that can handles WPA and WPA2 security.
    Therefore, no issues with Vista and the airport extreme base station. Works great.

  • Where has my airport utility window gone ? when I double click on the icon all I get is an image of a globe and a base station with no options to make changes in my airport extreme.

    Where has my airport utility window gone? When I double click on the airport utility icon all I get is a picture of a globe and a base station with no further  options available to modify my airport extreme. 

    Sorry, you lost me on that last post.
    Let's start over again.
    Open AirPort Utility on your Mac
    Are you asked for a password at this point?  If yes, enter the base station or device password that you used when you originally set up the AirPort router. Depending when you did this originally, you might have been given an option to use the same password as the wireless network. If you were not, then you have a separate password for the base station.
    You need that password to be able to access the settings for the AirPort router in AirPort Utility.
    If you see a window listing basic information, click Edit in the upper right corner of the window.
    If you are asked for a password, you must enter the device password or base station password that you established when you first set up the AirPort router as explained above.
    If you forgot the password, a Soft Reset will allow you to go in and reset the base station password.  Might be a good idea to write down that password.
    If you are still stuck, then the only option that you have at this point is to perform a Hard Reset to return the settings to factory defaults and then set up the AirPort router again.
    If you prefer, you can also do a Factory Default Reset. It's the same as a Hard Reset except for the timing of holding in the reset button.

  • Error when opening Airport Utility for Windows XP

    Help! I have recently purchased and Airport extreme base station and the supplied Airport Utility software will not open. I am operating on Windows XP pro, and have installed the latest software updates to no avail. Is there an older version or perhaps an oblique solution to run the utility software?
    Thanks.

    Hello jleo325. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    Here are the links for the last two versions of the AirPort Utility for Windows:
    o AirPort Utility Setup 5.3.2 for Windows
    o AirPort Utility 5.3.1 for Windows

  • Airport Utility fails to see Airport Extreme Only an Older Base Station no longer connected

    Very weird what's happened... earlier this morning there was a power failure (none of my 2 computers were ON, and they are plugged in thru UPS with power surge/outage capabilities).
    I turned my old Macbook Pro (2007) and everythign is fine. My Mac Pro (2008) is fine but it can't connect to the internet.
    I've resetted both the modem and the Airport Extreme Base Station.
    I've restarted and resetted the PRAM on my Mac Pro.
    I've tried many times to diagnose it/change settings/create new network with Network and Airport Utility to no avail.
    When I open Airport Utility on the Macbook Pro, it shows the Airport Extreme and it all looks fine... when I open Airport Utility on the Mac Pro, it only sees an old Snow/Graphite Base Station I haven't had plugged in in a log time. It doesn't see anything else.
    I've tried trashing the Airport Utility preferences as well... but still nothing. The Wif Fi icon shows a '!'. When I click on it, the pull down menu shows an "Alert: No Internet Connection", but it still shows my network  (and the neighbours' network) and it even has the check mark next to my network... ???
    I'm running 10.8.5 and Airport Utility 6.3.1.
    Please. Help.

    Just a quick update, spent 90 minutes on the phone with apple support today.  If I boot the mac in safe mode, the airport utility can see the base station.
    In the course of trouble shooting, a test account was created, but the airport utility had the same issue.  It proved that there isn't anything wrong with any of the hardware at the very least, and points to user level configuration problems (unfortunately, I was not able to sort that out with support).

  • Airport utility problems

    My airport utility won't open, get error windows needs windows 7 with service pack 2 or higher. I have that but every time I open to set up I get this error.

    I have an Intel iMac running 10.5, and an iBook running 10.4. But both have the same problems.
    I have a very old Airport (g) which is running fine. But on either of my computers, I cannot find "Airport Setup Assistant". Only "Airport Utility", and neither computers cannot find my Airport even though it is running fine (even after several rescans). When I run "Airport Setup Assistant for Graphite and Snow" on either computer, both reported that my machines do not have an Airport Card (even though both are talking fine with my g Airport). I also have an Airport Express, and cannot use it because Airport Utility cannot see it.
    Can anyone help?
    BTW...my old (g) Airport does not work with VPN.

  • Airport Utility does not see base station

    Hello,
    I just got an Airport Extreme. I am able to connect to it from mac and pc running vista but I am not able to see the base station from the airport utility on the windows platform. I can see it from the mac. Any ideas why - am I missing something on the windows platform.
    Thanks

    Thanks for your answers. I found this answer in a different thread. Once I unchecked CheckPoint VPN software - the base stations now show up in Airport Utility.

    I had same frustrating problem.
    I was able finally to restore AirTunes.
    In Local Area Connection Status.Properties
    In the "uses the following Items" list,
    Item "Check Point SecuRemote" appears.
    This is the VPN CLient that was installed to let me log in to my office network from home.
    Uncheck SecuRemote, OK; iTunes Speakers button shows.
    Check SecuRemote, OK; iTunes Speakers button disappears.
    This looks like a bug in Checkpoint Software.
    In your case, something else may be interferring.

  • Is AirPort Utility Working Properly?

    I have a Time Capsule (3rd gen) and also an AirPort Express.  The two are linked by Ethernet cables.  Prior to installing AirPort Express the AirPort Utility showed TC with a green dot.  Once the APE was installed AirPort Utility either shows no TC with APE connected directly to the Internet, or else shows TC connected to Internet but with a yellow triangle, and the APE linked to the TC but with the green dot.  Everything seems to work ok.  Is there some problem with AirPort utility?

    I just upgraded to Yosemite.
    Ok.. there is your problem.. Apple have done it again. They introduced a new OS without clearing out a fraction of the bugs reported in the beta.. welcome to the Beta testers program.. If it is all working properly. Which I do gather is the case..

    Then ignore the Airport Utility as the great load of rubbish it is .. !!
    Use the airport utility on iOS.. or even windows.. it simply is better than this.
    The installer for Mavericks is working to install 5.6 utility into Yosemite.

    That might well work better.. heck it couldn't be worse.

  • AirPort Utility can't detect base station but my laptop's wireless utility

    Just bought an AirPort Extreme base station yesterday. I have installed the new version of AirPort Utility from the disk on my Windows XP laptop and updated it online.
    Visibility of the station from AirPort utility is very sporadic. I have gone through setup twice and done a re-set of the station once. I can see the station from my laptop's wireless utility, but can't establish an internet connection. Can't connect with AirPort Utility long enough to figure out if the configuration is ok.
    Anyone seen anything like this? Could I have a bad base station? thanks.

    I have a similar problem, only it is my MacBook that can see the Airports, and my G5 that cannot. To make it even more counter-intuitive, the G5 is *plugged in* to the Airport Extreme base station, and while it gets internet and other network devices, it cannot talk to the very router it is connected to.

  • I have an Ipad, I activated the time capsule with no issues. I added the airport Utility application without issue.  However, I do not know how to access the hard drive with either my Windows computer or the Ipad.  Does someone know how?

    On windows load the airport utility .. latest correct version as possible.. there is no windows 8 but win7 works after a fashion.
    Make sure the TC is using SMB compatible names.. short no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
    Type the name directly into windows explorer.
    \\TCname or \\TCIPaddress
    If no luck turn off all the firewalls.. internal windows plus security software plus whatever other gargyoles and other rubbish AV software you have running.
    Ensure windows is able to at least ping the TC by IP address and name..
    Use the utility in windows to set file sharing to guest account on with full read and write access.. and set workgroup to WORKGROUP.

  • Issues with external hard drive/airport utility with Windows PC

    Okay, here's my situation:
    I'm using the Airport Extreme and my network is currently laid out like this:
    1.) Macbook connected wirelessly
    2.) Windows XP SP2 PC w/ wired connection (ethernet)
    My problem is this:
    Just plugged in a brand new Western Digital hd to the usb port on the back of the Airport Extreme. My Macbook recognized it (had to use the shared disk password) and it works fine.
    But my Windows PC won't let me connect to the external hd or recognize it. Even when it asks me for the shared disk password, it tells me failed login or whatever. I installed the software (Bonjour/Airport Utility), but I'm confused on how to let my Windows PC find the hard drive or connect to it...
    I setup/configured my Airport Extreme on my Mac... am I suppose to configure my external hd's sharing abilities on my Windows PC using the Airport Utility, also?
    And when I open up the Base Station utility on my Windows PC, it continually keeps asking for my Base Station password as it tries to scan its configuration. Is that normal?
    Thanks
    PS: if you need more info regarding my problem, I'll be happy to supply it.

    I'd say bad power supply (if it has an external power supply).
    Two external enclosures have done that to me already (but one is almost certain to do it while the other just started to do it recently), if the HD I have in the enclosure is a bit older (and noisier) I can even hear the HD spin down a little and spin up again, of course that whatever I was doing explodes in the process.
    Mind you that the HD is confirmed to be working properly by connecting it inside a desktop pc.
    I have couple other power adapters I can try. I got the same enclosure for my dad. I have a brick for a LaCie drive too. (I bought the lacie drive a year ago, but the power supply buzzed loudly. I put in a support request, but ended up returning the drive, and they sent me a new power after that)

  • Are you having problems with Windows XP Pro and Airport Utility Updates?

    I was having problems with my wireless laptop setting up my Bonjour Printer. I checked to make sure I had downloaded the latest updates to Airport Utility and Bonjour. Check. After doing this I noticed I couldn't see my Airport Extreme through the Airport Utility. After much frustration and bringing my entire network crashing down around me, I got help from a knowledgeable guy from Cox Cable in San Diego. He helped me get my trusty iMac Power PC online. It saw my Airport Extreme but no answers were forthcoming in any forums about my XP issues. Here is what finally solved my problem. I uninstalled all Airport Utility and Bonjour Programs. I then went back to Airport Utility 5.3.1 for Windows. It installs Bonjour Printer services with this download. Everything is working perfectly again. I have my Canon Pixma MP500 connected to the USB port on my AEBS and Bonjour walked right through the setup process. I suggest that if this works for you, turn off all Airport Utility and AEBS firmware updates until you see that whatever issue Apple created with these updates gets fixed.

    Well... it worked! :D
    I'm pretty sure the extra 512 memory stick was the problem, that would explain why it was being inconsistent with its type of failures before. I'm going to reinstall it later and run memtest86 and try and see if i can get it to work at all somehow without causing problems, cuz 1.5 was already low enough...
    DryHeat, yeah it was with SP2 but I got it installed now so no worries
    Thanks a lot!

  • Windows 8.1 and most recent version of Airport Utility.  Error message 6722 during connection.

    New computer with Windows 8.1.  I have downloaded most recent version of the Airport Utility.  The utility finds by airport express but during connection I get error message -6722.  I suspect Windows 8.1 is not compatible with my first generation Airport Express but before I buy a new one would like to know for sure.

    More compatible than v2 of the Express which you cannot configure from windows.. all the later airport routers need v6 utility to configure them.. and this is not available for windows.
    These issues arise due to all sorts of things.. the error message is very unclear in its meaning.
    Plug the Express into the computer by ethernet. Do a factory reset on the Express and see if you can set it up by ethernet.
    Wireless products can be a problem. Set the Express to fixed channel, 11, 6, 1 in that order.. with no security and a simply name, for both the express and wireless. No spaces and pure alphanumeric.
    If the computer cannot connect under the most ideal situation nothing else will fix it.
    If you have an ipad iphone with iOS v6 or later then you can use the apple version Airport utility which is much more likely to work than windows.

  • Cannot see Timecapsule in Airport Utility on Windows XP

    Just purchased a 2T TC and can connect MBP and Macbook air ok.
    I also have a Lenovo laptop with Windows XP that uses TC for internet access that works ok. When I run Airport Utility (v5.5.3) on Windows XP it cannot see the TC. I have Bonjour Printer Services installed as well
    Main reason I want to connect to TC is to access a Canon MP800 MFP printer connected to the TC via USB.
    Appreciate any help or suggestions ( and I know I should upgrade to Windows 7 or Mac OSx however that is not an option at the moment :-).

    Hi I dont think it is a ethernet/wireless issue - wireless on XP laptop works in other networks and in fact can connect to TC router - I am just not seeing the TC when I use Airport on the Windows XP machine.
    Taking a different approach - I have been able to set up a local pinter on the XP laptop using an IP port that points to the USB printer connected to the TC and this works.
    I am still intrigued as to why Airport on XP cannot see the TC however the workaround is fine
    Thanks for the ideas LaPastenague - much appreciated
