Airport utility 6.2 not showing airport

why in the world is this stupid app not showing what it is supposed to show. it only shows the internet globe but no other airport on my network. The network works fine ... inthe utility it simply spinns this round thing looking for something but it is hopeless.
Can this be reset or do a new scan or something?
thanks

Hi,
exactly the same with me. On MacBook Pro AU (version 6.3.2) is unable to find the AirPort Extreme (firmware 7.6.4). My iPhone 4S, however, shows the base station as expected. Googled, reset, unplugged, I tried everything I could but without any luck... The strangest thing is that it was working fine for a while, but not anymore. WiFi connection works seamleaslly. I'm indeed a bit dissatisfied.
Should anyone point us to a direction, I would pay a beer for him/her

    my mac disk utility option is not showing drive where to install

    Sadly, it sounds like the drive has died if it isn't  showing there, but on the off chance it's just really messed up...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."

  • How do I access an external hard drive that shows up in Disk Utility but will not show up in finder or on my desktop?

    I have an external hard drive that just stopped showing up one day. Is there a solution to this problem that allows me to secure the data on the drive before reformatting?

    I'm having the same problem bpay14, but with a CalDigit VR2 6TB RAID0 external hard drive.
    One day it was showing on my desktop, the other it wasn't. And I still didn't update my Mavericks to 10.9.3 (still with the 10.9.2).
    It shows up in the disk utility, and I can even Verify the disk and Repair it (but I don't wanna start repairing
    something that probably doesn't need to be repaired, so I haven't clicked the Repaid button, only the Verify button) and it says its working just fine.
    But it doesn't show in the Finder or the desktop for that matter.
    And even if I force disconnect the cable, I get the usual "this disk was not ejected properly" notification
    presumingly the disk was mounted on the desktop and I forced eject by unppluging it...
    I found a way to force open the disk, through Disk Utility that's by clicking with the right mouse button
    on the disk icon, and chosing OPEN "CalDigit AFRICA 6TB"... (see picture 1)
    But... after that, it open a Finder window showing all my internal and external drives, but that drive's
    name is in washed grey, like if it was unmounted (see picture 2).
    When selected, I can see everything and work normally on the harddrive, even opening FCPROX projects or Libraries, copying from it and writing documents into it... just normal... (see picture 3)
    BUT IT DOES NOT SHOW IN THE DESKTOP...
    that's my problem...
    I even did a Command+i for Info on the hard drive. (see picture 4)
    Can anyone shed some light on this issue?
    I would be eternally grateful!
    Thanks in advance!!!
    Cheers!

  • Disk Utility Permissions repair not showing details

    I have a brand new imac 24. When I run repair Permissions, I get this
    Repairing permissions for “Macintosh HD”
    Permissions repair complete
    It says "Estimated time less than 1 minute" which actua;ly takes a lot longer, seems to hang up at first.
    However it is not going through the usual gobbldeegook you see in Tiger or Panther, Like thos pesky colorsync profiles etc.
    Is this a system corruption or a bug in Leopards new Disk Utility? I used the Migration Utility to transfer some files from my G4.
    I'm having serious issues with fonts not showing up in my APPS so I'm trying to resolve a huge problem thinking maybe Permissions are the reason.

    SparkyJ,
    I was having that same issue with Repair Permissions, until I just started the process and let it go. It hung for several minutes before the process bar began to show activity. I have no idea why this is now happening, but Permissions are eventually getting repaired.

  • WD My Book 4TB opens in disk utility but does not show in finder/desktop?

    I am able to see my drive and open it from within the Disk Utility but it has disappeared from my desktop/finder. Verify and repair show NO issues. When I open it from the Disk Utility all information is intact.
    Thank you in advance!

    Back up all data.

  • Airport express is green - but not showing up in AirportUtility or AirTunes

    Hello everyone
    I have an Airport Extreme as my main base station upstairs. I have recently plugged in a Dlink615 using an ethernet cable to give me wireless signal in over my kitchen downstairs. This has worked well and we can all use our laptops etc. in the Kitchen now.
    However - I have an Airport Express plugged in - in the kitchen, and have configured it to join the wireless network being pumped out by the Dlink - all seems to be well - the Airport Express appears to connect fine and go green - but following this, the Airport Express can not be found by the Airport Utility and does not show up in AirTunes.
    Can any one offer any advice?
    Thanks very much.

    Hi Carolyn
    Thanks for your reply. I'm running 10.6.4.
    Unfortunately - no luck with that solution. The Kitchen Airport Express also does not show up in the air tunes on my Apple TV.
    I have had no problems with getting airport expresses to show up in air tunes before adding this Dlink to my set up - I think it is something to do with the fact that the DLink is plugged into my Airport extreme. (I have tried DHCP off and on).
    Thanks

  • My Macbook Pro mid 2012 is not reading/connecting to my (working)external hard disk(also not showing in disk utility)

    I connected my 500GB Storjet external hard drive to my mac(Mountain Lion) http://in.transcend-info.com/products/Catlist.asp?modno=325 but it is not connecting to it. Disk Utility is also not showing it. and the hard disk is working... My PS3, My Sony TV and my other laptop(win7) is detecting it... Also whenever it gets connected a blue light blinks, but It doesnt for mac. I have tried reformatting to both FAT32 and NTFS... Please help..
    Also I sorta screwed my Mac so I had to do the internet recovery thing and only after that such problems occured, it was working fine before. So it installed Lion first and then Mountain Lion. It wasn't working on any of the OS.

    Power down the Mac, Full power off. Connect the drive using the Y cable and then turn the Mac back on.
    If it still doesn't show in at least Disk Utility then start checking your USB ports to see if both are working properly. Just plug in a USB thumb drive and that should show in both Finder and Disk Utility. If one of the ports isn't seeing the thumb drive then that port is bad and the system needs to be services by Apple.

  • Disk Utility does not show any result....

    Dear Apple Community,
    on my mid 2012 Mac Book Air the disk utility test does not show any result. The test just stops at some point and can be restarted again, but does not show weather the SSD is damaged or not.
    Does anyone know what this means?
    Thanks a lot for your advice!

    I think this happens to everyone (who uses "Live Verification") in Mavericks.   Occasionally the output from the test shows correctly, but usually not.  I guess this will get fixed someday. 
    Apple - Mac OS X - Feedback
    For now, probably you will get best results from using command-r at startup to get into "recovery mode", then run disk utility from there.

  • Hard Drive Not Showing in Terminal

    My Mac Pro started running slow even after clearing cookies and deleting unnecessary data including pics, documents, trash and history. So I recently upgraded to Macbook OSX Maverick (version 10.9.3) and uninstalled Mackeeper and all files associated with it according to the instructions here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=efnXbn1nC4E. Then I repaired disk permissions. I also tried to repair ACLs according to the instructions here pondini.org/OSX/Password.html. All was going well until I reached the reset password window. I was instructed to select the volume containing the user account but there was nothing at all in the volume box. Macintosh HD is not showing up there. I can still see it and the files in my finder though. Weird. I do not know what to do. Everytime I try to access the web I get the message "connection was reset." The tab reads "problem loading page." After reading I realize that the home file needs permissions reset but is there a way to get the HD to show up in the terminal so I can reset home folder permissions and ACLs? Is there a Sudo command for this? This is too time consuming for me to keep researching this. I need help please. I just want my laptop functioning again. I am so frustrated. Uggghhh!!!

    I have also run into the problem of my Mac running slow and learned about the repair utility that can be reached upon rebooting and holding down the cmd key and R then running the terminal and putting in resetpassword which brings up the reset utility and the last instruction is to reset home folder and ACLs.  When I did all this my reset utility was empty not showing my hard drive or any users.  But once I turned off the FileVault both the hard drive and users showed up and was able to do the reset.  For me it took many hours to decrypt the hard drive and it appears that it is going to take twice as long to encrypt it again.

  • Have 2 airport extreme base stations connected in chain.  Airport utility shows slave unit without power. However, power is on slave unit, but status lights do not show up at all. Small green lights at each back port blink.  Anyone have any ideas?

    Unfortunately, you are describing the symptoms of an AirPort Extreme with a failing (or failed) internal power supply.
    As a last resort, try a Factory Default Reset on the AirPort Extreme as follows:
    Power off the AirPort by pulling the power cord
    Wait a minute or two
    Hold in the reset button first, and keep holding it in for an additional 8-10 seconds while you simultaneously plug the power back into the AirPort
    Release the reset button and allow a full minute for the AirPort to restart
    Now try to configure the AirPort again.  If you continue to see the same symptoms as before, the AirPort will need to be replaced.

    trying to reconnect airport express to time machine but express not showing up in base station.  unfortunately clicked forgot in airport utility and express no longer shows up.  how to reconnect?

    I would recommend setting the wireless encryption on the AirPort Express BEFORE configuring it for the AirPort Extreme in this case. This issue also comes up often when configuring AirPorts into a WDS.
    If setting up security in my recommend order does not work, temporarily connect the Express by Ethernet to the Extreme; make the security changes, and then, move the Express back to the desired location.

  • How to setup a guest network when the dialogue boxes do not show up in AirPort Utility 6.1

    How do I setup a guest network when the dialogue boxes do not show up in AirPort Utility 6.1?
    I see screenshots where there are boxes to 'enable' guest network but these simply do not apear on the Wireless tab in AirPort Utility

    I now have a guest account, thanks to you!
    I did the factory reset and was able to set up the guest account.
    There were 3 problems, all of which I was able to solve.
    The first problem was connect to Ethernet, which I selected by WAN port, as shown in the first screen shot. This page used to read just Ethernet and the Bridge Mode.
    The second problem was whether to share a range of addresses or share a public IP address. I selected share a public IP address as shown in the first screen shot. I had tried the range of IP addresses in my earlier attempts, the ones that failed. Hopefully this will have no effect.
    I have forgotten what the third problem was - only excuse is a few too many flavored drinks. I didn't have any problems solving it though.
    What is really weird is I can log on to Guest and use on my iPad (first generation), my wife's iPod Touch (third generation), and my wife's 2011 MacBook Pro. I can't log onto Guest on my 2008 iMac, even after a restart. I get the image below.
    Since I don't lug my iMac around a lot and it is connected by Ethernet, while my little make it right brain says figure this out, I am not going to worry about it.
    Thank you again for your time and patience in helping me solve this.

  • USB Drive not showing in Airport Utility

    I have a USB HD formatted with Mac OS Extended (journaled) which I plugged in to my Airport Extreme and it does not show in Airport Utility.  Any ideas?
    Thanks,

    Power off the entire network
    Wait a few moments
    Start the modem first and continue starting devices one at time until everything is powered back up
    If the drive still does not show up.....and you are not using a powered USB hub....that may be needed
    Other stuff....verify that the USB cable is working correctly

  • AE does not show up in Airport Utility

    Hello,
    As a disclaimer, I know next to nothing about wireless networks. Here is what I have: 2 G5 towers and MBP. Tower is NOT wireless. Cable comes in and goes to modem > modem to Airport Base Station > to D-Link Router. All computers have a direct connection to the D-Link providing 10/100/1000 connection. I also have an Airport Express that is connected to our stereo system to stream iTunes... at some point, and I am not sure when, the AE quit working. I can connect from the laptop upstairs to the Base Station downstairs... but when I open the Airport Admin utility, the Express simply doesn't show up? I have a blinking amber light on the Express. I did a hard reset on all units (AB, AE, and router); but nothing. At one point, this configuration worked just fine. My wife went to use it today and that is when we found out that it doesn't work anymore. What am I doing wrong??
    Mike

    If you are using AirPort Utility 6.x, or AirPort Utility for iOS devices,  printers do not "show up" in the application at all.
    This has no bearing on whether or not the printer will function as long as you have installed the printer using Print and Fax on your Mac.
    If you are trying to print from an iOS device, you will not be able to accomplish this unless you add additional software to the iOS device.
