AirPort Utility doesn't support my version of AirPort Express  802.11n

I have OS X Yoesmite installed and now my AirPort Utility doesn't support the version of AirPort Express  802.11n . Any advice?

AirPort Utility 6.3.4 in Yosemite does support both versions of the  802.11n AirPort Express.
What is the model number of your AirPort Express?  If you are not sure, look on the side or bottom of the Express. The model number starts with an "A" followed by four numbers.
Hard to see the model number.....you may need a magnifying glass and good lighting.

    I am trying to hook up my Airport Express to my current network and AirPort Extreme but keep getting the same error message: "This version of AirPort Utility doesn’t support this base station. Go to AirPort Service and Support for more information." Any thoughts?

    This sounds as if you have an older AirPort Express that is no longer supported by the newer Mavericks operating system.
    To check and see if  that might be the case, locate the model number on the side of the AirPort Express. It will start with an "A" followed by four numbers. Hard to see in the faint print.....so you may need reading glasses or a magnifying class to see the model number clearly.
    Model numbers A1084 and A1088 of the AirPort Express are no longer supported by AirPort Utility in Mavericks.
    You will need to use a Mac running Leopard, Snow Leopard, or a PC to be able to administer the older AirPort Express.

    Is this an older "round" version of the AirPort Extreme? If yes, it is true that AirPort Utility 6.x no longer supports the older AirPort Extreme and AirPort Express models.
    A model number......located on the bottom of the Extreme or on the side of the Express would be helpful to confirm what you have.
    Apple probably does want you to buy a new AirPort Extreme.
    The workaround might be to use a Mac or PC running a 5.x version of AirPort Utility.
    A more complicated workaround would be to install AirPort Utility 5.6 on Mountain Lion.  This is not supported by Apple......it does work for me.....but may not work for you. See this article for more details:

    How can I administer a Gen1 Airport Express from, my MacPro (OS 10.9, Airport Utility 6.3.2). I can see the Express in the WiFi window but from the Airport Utility I get the following message: " This version of AirPort Utility doesn’t support this base station. Go to AirPort Service and Support for more information." Of course there's nothing of value on the support page. Any clues anyone?

    Apple has dropped support in Mavericks (10.9) of the AirPort Express and AirPort Extreme models that were discontinued more than six years ago.
    You can still administer the older AirPort models if you have a Mac running Leopard, Snow Leopard, or a PC.

    Per chance is your AirPort Express an 802.11g model? If so, you will need to use AirPort Utility v5.6 to administer it. However, this version will not install under OS X Mountain Lion without a workaround.
    The following is one of those workarounds:
    Here are the basic steps to install version 5.6 under Mountain Lion using CharlesSoft's Pacifist:
    If you haven't already download the AirPort Utility disk image file directly from Apple Support Download
    Place the resultant AirPortUtility56.dmg file onto your Mac's Desktop.
    Run Pacifist.
    Click on the Open Package option. Find the disk image file that you just placed on your desktop, and then, click on Open.
    The utility is located as follows: Contents of AirPortUtility56.dmg > Contents of AirPortUtility56.pkg > Contents of AirPortUtility56Lion.pkg > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility 5.6.app
    Drag AirPort Utility 5.6.app to your Mac's /Applications/Utilities folder.
    You can now run the AirPort Utility from the Utilities folder.

    This is the message I have recieved in installing my AirPort Utility... Can anyone help me?

    Old AirPort base stations and Time Capsules aren't compatible with AirPort Utility 6.2, so you have to use AirPort Utility 5.6. As you have already updated, you can't install AirPort Utility 5.6 by the normal way.

    In my Airport Utility a read the following message:

    I assume that your MacBook Pro is running OS X Mountain Lion ... correct? If so, version 5.6 can run just fine on this version of OS X; it just can't be installed in the traditional way.
    Here are the basic steps to install version 5.6 under Mountain Lion using CharlesSoft's Pacifist:
    If you haven't already download the AirPort Utility disk image file directly from Apple Support Download

  • Airport utility doesn't support my airport express

    I just noticed my Airport Express isn't showing up in the Airport Utility, i mean, it shows up but there's no light on, not green or orange, just no light at all. When i click on the icon in the Airport Utility, it says this version of Airport Utility (v.3.6.1) doesn't support this base station.  The Airport Express is quite old, i've had it for many years, not sure how long, probably first or second generation. It says it's model A1084, 2005.
    The Airport Express has always worked fine with my previous computer, MacBook, currently OS 10.6.8, and with my new computer MBP OS 10.8.5. I used it with AirTunes to play music through external speakers on the old computer.  With the new OS, it was using Air Play. The old Airport Express worked fine.  I got the new computer in November.  I was using a very old Airport Extreme as the router.  In late December, i got a new Time Capsule.  Software update was run and after the Time Capsule was installed, the Airport Express still played music. The green light lit up in Airport Utility.  I played music through the external speakers as recently as a couple of weeks ago, both in iTunes and on You Tube.
    I don't know why music is not playing through the external speakers now. The device shows up in Airport Utility but it appears dead and i get that message saying the the version of Airport Utility doesn't support the base station.  The green light is on, on the Airport Express. i have not updated the Airport Utility since late December when the Time Capsulre was installed. 
    The only thing that has happened recently, though i don't know why it would make any difference, is that a few days ago for the first time, i did a backup of my hard drive to the Time Capsule, using Time Machine. I had not done this before since i got the Time Capsule, it was the first time. Other than that, i haven't installed any new software and haven't done anything differently that i know of, although a few days ago, i clicked OK on a box in You Tube and my You Tube account now no longer has any of my favorites or playlists. It's the same account as far as i can tell, i didn't log out, it was still logged in when this happened. While that is a disaster, it doesn't seem related to my external speakers not playing all of a sudden.
    Is there anything i can try in order to fix this?  thanks

    The Airport Express is quite old, i've had it for many years, not sure how long, probably first or second generation. It says it's model A1084, 2005.
    This would be an 802.11g AirPort Express base station. There is only one generation of this version.
    When i click on the icon in the Airport Utility, it says this version of Airport Utility (v.3.6.1) doesn't support this base station.
    I'm not aware that Apple produced a v3.6.1. Did you mean v5.6.1 instead? If so this version is meant to administer these older 802.11g AirPorts on Macs running OS X Leopard or Snow Leopard. More precisely for versions 10.5.7 thru 10.6.8 ... so your MacBook should be able to run this version of the AirPort Utility.
    I played music through the external speakers as recently as a couple of weeks ago, both in iTunes and on You Tube.
    If you are streaming from YouTube, then you must be using a third-party solution like Rogue Amoeba's Airfoil. Is this correct?
    The only thing that has happened recently, though i don't know why it would make any difference, is that a few days ago for the first time, i did a backup of my hard drive to the Time Capsule, using Time Machine.
    You're right. That should have not made any difference as far as streaming goes.

  • The AirPort utility doesn't support my AirPort Express, now what?

    The Airport untility set up my new AirPort Express just fine, however, when I try locate my older AirPort Express to extend my network, it says the AirPort Utility doesn't support the older AirPort Express. It's there in the WiFi drop down menu and, trying to confgure it from the existing utility menu bar is fruitless. What now?

    Is this another example of Apple's policy of planned obsolesce?

    I have a WiFi system in the house that uses the Airport Extreme for a hub and an older Express for sending music from my Mac to my sound system. Everything worked great till yesterday.

    This sounds as if you have an older AirPort Express that is no longer supported by the newer Mavericks operating system.
    To check and see if  that might be the case, locate the model number on the side of the AirPort Express. It will start with an "A" followed by four numbers. Hard to see in the faint print.....so you may need reading glasses or a magnifying class to see the model number clearly.

  • AirPort Utility does not support base station

    "This version of AirPort Utility doesn’t support this base station. Go to AirPort Service and Support for more information." What?

    Support for any older, 802.11b-g only AirPort Base Stations is gone in Mavericks.
    The last of them has been discontinued for over six years.

  • Airport Express 802.11n problem

    I have an Airport Express 802.11n.
    I use it to send iTunes from my mac on my stereo system in the adjacent room, via my wireless network. I don't use it all that often. It has worked fine over the two or so years I've had it
    A couple of weeks ago I had a new BT Home Hub 5 installed, this may be just a coincidence but I tried to use my Airport Express 802.11n yesterday with no luck. All I get is an amber flashing light. I've plugged the Airport Express 802 into the mains right next to my imac but that has not helped. My Airport Utility doesn't find or show my Airport Express.
    What do I do? Can anyone help?
    Hopefully
    Rob

    Here's an update:-
    By re-setting my Airport Express 802 and updating the firmware, I can now get it to work when connected with an ethernet cable and changing my settings from DHCP to Bridge.
    However, I still can't get it to work wirelessly.
    Is this a known problem with the BT Home Hub 5 and BT Infinity?
