Airport Utility cant find anything after upgrade to 7.3.1

After a very stressful morning getting my TC working with my Express as a remote i was then prompted to update my firmware to 7.3.1. when the TC restarted it disappeared from the Airport Utility as did the Express and I can no longer get it to see either of them. Any Ideas please

If you reboot the TC and keep an eye on the Aiport Utility, does it appear for a short time before disappearing?
If so, it sounds like you've been affected by the same issue as many of us have, which appears to be linked to the recent updates. Some people have had success by resetting their TC to default settings and reconfiguring it. There's a few posts on this on the first page which might give you some more info.

  • Airport utility cant find airport extreme 802.11

    Bought a 802.11 today.  Didnt come with a CD and so downloaded Aiport Utility 5.4.1 for windows.  I am using the dang router right now since I am on the internet.  Its amber light is flashing.  The Airport Utility cant find any Apple wireless devices.  Hmm.  Help.  Do I need to download something other than 5.4.1?  When I put in 802.11 utility all I get back is a bunch of patches...Help.

    Thanks Hackintosh.  I got it going.  It would be enormously helpful if Apple would list the most current software necessary for the Airport Extreme FIRST when you search for downloads.  But that would be too easy.
    Thanks,

  • AirPort utility cant find Time Capsule

    I have trouble connecting to my TC. I've got the newest version of airport utility. I've connected the ethernet cable to the Wan port and plugged in the TC. The strange thing is that I'm now connected to internet but the AirPort utility cant find the Time Capsule (and the light flashes amber).

    Thank you, that solved this problem for me:
    Problem:
    I factory reset two 3T time capsules. Now airport utility can't fid them. "No configured AirPort base stations have been found." I've performed all of the following:
    Power cycled the time capsules
    Restarted the Mac Mini they are attached too
    Reperformed the  factory reset
    Configured the IPv6 in the network settings to "Link-local only"
    Designated a router address manually for the ethernet port these time capsules are connected to.
    FYI: I have two 3T time capsules daisy chained to a mac mini server on a company LAN. Connected by a USB-ethernet connection.
    Solution:
    Tuned MacMini Server's WiFi "ON"
    Verified network setting IPv6 was set to "Link-Local only"
    Disadvantage:
    I had the MacMini Server set up as a wifi hot spot so guests could use the internet through it and access our shared server to move files. We no longer have that ability since the MacMini now has to be logged into the company wireless.

  • Airport utility cant find my new airport

    Hello.
    I got a new airport extreme N base station, and i currently already have one in my study (i plan on extending my network).
    the first time i turned the new airport on, Airport utility located it immediately. i then used the wizard to try and make it join my network (named Bluenet)
    but then it said error. and since then my utility cant locate the new airport base station. even when converted back to factory settings.
    can anyone help me with my problem? and possibly also give me a crash course in extending the network.
    thank you.
    Merry christmas

    place the secondary router in bridge mode then configure your wireless. Either create or extend. The trick now is to get AU recognizing that new router. Try using an ethernet cable to re-find that new router.

  • Airport Utility cant find AE during scan, but it works...

    I have my AE setup in in "bridge" mode connected to my network via ethernet that makes its connection to my d-link router via powerline adapters (the powerline adapters get over 100mbps and work very well for streaming to my BoxeeBox).
    I have 2 wireless networks in my place, the AE 2.4ghz and my D-link's 5.0ghz. My iPad and iPhone can see the AE when connected to either wireless network and play music to my stereo without a problem.
    The issue is my Win7 latop, the Airport Express utility found the AE upon initial setup but since then finds nothing when trying to scan. I have to manualy enter the IP address and password for the AE setting page to come up. The iTunes on my Win7 laptop also has touble seeing the AE. It worked on the first day when I had just finished the intial setup but now it no longer gives me the choice in the bottom right corner..
    I dont understant how the AE works perfectly with my iPad and iPhone even while connected to the Wireless network of my D-link router (meaning the powerline connecting is not causing an issue) but my Win7 laptop has trouble detecting it automaticly.
    Is there a way in iTunes to manualy enter the IP address of the AE so it can maintain a connection? And why does the Airport Utility have so much trouble finding the AE? (btw my Win7 laptop is connected to my D-link Router via ethernet when i trying to scan for the AE)
    thanks

    but when I pull up airport utility it can't seem to find the airport extreme.
    Close AirPort Utility
    Hold in the reset button on the back of the AirPort Extreme for 9-10 seconds and release.
    Allow a full minute for the AirPort Extreme to restart
    Click on the fan shaped AirPort icon at the top of the Mac's screen
    Wait a few seconds for a listing of New AirPort Base Station to appear
    Just below that, click directly on AirPort Extreme
    (The example below shows an AirPort Express)
    AirPort Setup will open automatically and walk you through the configuration
    If you want to use the iPhone......
    Hard Reset the AirPort Exteme as above
    Tap Settings on the iPhone's home screen
    Tap WiFi
    Under the heading of Set up an AirPort Base Station, tap on AirPort Extreme

Then i opened my airport utility so i can configure it but the utility wont find it, i try to reset it but it still wont work.

    Hi,
    When you say you reset it, did you do it this way - http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=108044

  • Airport Utility cant find devices

    Very bizarre.  iMac can see all devices.  yet, the APU on my MBP, which is right beside the iMac  - CANNOT FIND ANY!!
    What the heck is going on?

    Thanks Hackintosh.  I got it going.  It would be enormously helpful if Apple would list the most current software necessary for the Airport Extreme FIRST when you search for downloads.  But that would be too easy.

  • HT4587 Utility cant find the airport express, windows8

    Utility cant find the airport express, windows8

    3 common causes when this occurs:
    1) The Windows FireWall is blocking the connection attempt between AirPort Utility and the AirPort Express
    2) The PC anti-virus software is doing the same thing
    3) Microsoft Security Essentials....if installed...is doing the same thing
    Check the settings in each application to see if a "block" is occuring, so you can make an "exception" or "allow" the connection to occur.
    It might help to try a direct connection from an Ethernet port on the PC to a LAN <-> port on the AirPort Express. If you can configure the Express this way, you can disconnect the Ethernet cable once the Express has been set up.
    Although primarily used for printer communications, it is a good idea to install Bonjour for Windows, as Bonjour may help communicatons on the network.

  • Airport utility cannot find Extreme nor Express, but internet is working?

    I have an airport extreme base station and and airport express (as a wireless extender and media speakers)
    When my iMac wakes up from sleep, airport utility cannot find any devices.
    - internet works as usual
    - airplay doesn't work (via my ipod or my iphone)
    - apple TV 2 can't find the itunes library.
    - in system preferences -> network - my network seems to be all ok and when I turn off airport and on again, both devices suddenly appear in the airport utility. But when the iMac goes to sleep, same problem happens.
    - I have made ensured that my network is the preferred network but still the problem persists.
    as the internet is working, there doesn't appear to be a problem. However, when airplay and apple TV are not working properly, this is a problem!
    Grateful for any help. Thanks.

    My Airport utility cannot find my base station either, and I can't print. But I can access the Internet!
    The base station just "vanished" one day after working perfectly for about two months. I first discovered this when I was unable to print - I began troubleshooting by entering the utility, only to discover the base station was not listed.
    I finally deleted my networking settings in Vista, and then did a factory reset on the Aiport Extreme. I then set everything up from scratch again to successful resolution.
    Then again one day a short time after that, it vanished again! In frustration, I disconnected Airport and put it away. I tried setting up a new Dlink I purchased to replace the Airport, but the Dlink didn't work either!!! Dlink tech support couldn't fix the problem and suggested I get my money back. I then, as a last ditch attempt, reconnected the Airport. It automatically found the base station without me doing anything besides just hooking it back up!
    It worked for about two weeks and now it vanished again! The utility upgrade released the other day has not fixed this problem. I guess I'll delete networking connections again in Vista, and do a factory reset to Airport again.
    I guess Airport and Vista just don't play well together.

  • Airport Utility cannot find my Extreme base station but everything works!

    I must be going crazty, but I can't figure this one out. I've had my Extreme and Express configured since November of 2007. Airport Utility would always find them and let me look at the configuration. I don't believe that anything major has changed on my laptop. Today I went to run Airport Utility and it cannot find my 2 stations. Again, everything is working, I can surf the net, from various laptops throughout my house.
    I had to do a factory reset to the extreme, and thankfully I remembered the 10.0.1.1/public and was able to reload a baseconfig I had. After this I still couldn't find the extreme nor the express with Airport Utility.
    Does anyone have any suggestions? Why would Airport Utility stop finding my stations?
    Any help would be amazing.
    Thanks,
    Frank

  • Airport Utility cannot find my Airport.  It is nearby, no interference, and worked for about 9 months.  The Airport still provides wireless internet for the household, though it won't recognize the printer -- plugged in or wireless.

    Are you using the latest version (5.5.2) of the AirPort Utility to access the new 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn)? Your tagline has it that you are running OS X 10.4.6. You would need at least 10.5.7 to run the utility. I assume that you are running the latest utility on another device ... correct?
    When having difficulties accessing the AirPort thru the AirPort Utility, try the following, in order checking accessibility with the utility after each step:
    o Check the local connection. If you are trying to access the AirPort wirelessly, make sure that you are connected to its wireless network before running the AirPort Utility to administer it. If you are still unable to access it with the utility, temporarily connect your computer directly using an Ethernet cable to one of the base station's LAN ports.
    o Power cycle the base station. Remove the power adapter's plug from the power outlet, and then, wait 15 seconds before plugging it back in.
    o Perform a "factory default" reset on the base station.

  • Airport utility cannot find my Airport Express, repeated rescans, nothing, even with direct connect via Ethernet. Help!

    I use Airport Express to stream iTunes to my home stereo. This is the ONLY thing I use it for. It quit working and now Airport Utility cannot find the Airport Express unit, even after repeated re-boots of all components, resetting the Airport Express, even when connected directly to my router via Ethernet. I use a D-Link wirless router.
    I downloaded the latest Airport Utility, but it will NOT work with XP (from the Apple website, not my words).
    The Airport Express will achieve a solid green indicator after reset, but Airport Utility cannot find it. Until Utility can find and recognize the Airport Express hardware, I cannot adjust or reset any settings, etc.
    Help!

    I downloaded the latest Airport Utility, but it will NOT work with XP (from the Apple website, not my words).
    The latest version of AirPort Utility.....5.6.1.....will only run on a Windows 7 machine.
    Try AirPort Utility 5.5.3 for Windows (make sure that  you have Service Pack 3 installed on your PC, otherwise the application will not run on an XP machine).
    The Airport Express will achieve a solid green indicator after reset, but Airport Utility cannot find it.
    After a "hard reset" or "factory default reset", the light will not be green.....it will be slowly flashing amber after it restarts. See this Apple support document for more information on various resets:

  • Airport utility cannot find base station

    Hello. I upgraded to Leopard. I have normal internet access from airport extreme but airport utility cannot find my base station. How can I re-establish contact? Thanks

    Which base station do you have?
    The "AirPort Utility" is only compatible with the round 802.11b/gAirPort Extreme base station (AEBS), square 802.11b/g/n AEBS, and AirPort Express (AX).
    It is not compatible with the older graphite 802.11b AirPort base station (ABS) nor the dual-Ethernet (aka "snow") ABS.
    If you have a compatible base station, have you tried doing a reset on the base station and perhaps temporarily connect your computer via Ethernet to the base station?

  • HT1349 Airport Utility cannot find my Extreme or Express?

    Airport Utility cannot find my Extreme or Express?

    Hi, found an answer to this on web
    1) Ensure that AE is sending a signal out (ca. 45s after at reset)
    2) To see this signal first go to the wifi and connect to the net that AE send out - name: "Apple xxxxx.."
    3) Start up Airport Utility and AU will now see your AE
    Finish and configure

  • Airport Utility cannot find AX base station

    I can see that this is unfortunately a widespread problem, but I wonder if anyone has found a solution. I am running a wireless network with Airport Extreme and iMac (and several Windows laptops). Most of the time it's fine, but twice have I encountered that after shutting off modem and AX that the airport utility cannot find base station even though it is sitting right next to iMac. Also, all lights are solid green, both on modem and AX. I can find loads of other wireless networks, just not my own. No combination of resetting, restarting or reconnecting seems to do the trick and it get's very frustrating! If anyone has a solution, let me know.
    Thanks!

    Have youi tried maybe running an Ethernet cable from the AX to the Base Station to establish the connection and then removing it (or reconfiguring the wireless network) ?
