Airport Utility for iOS on iPad

Although my Airport Extreme and two bridged AP Expresses are oerating properly, Airport Utility for iOS on any network connected iPads cannot locate any of the Airport devices. The same version of Airport Utility works properly on any iPhones on the network and the Mac version also works.
I've tried removing, downloading, and re-installing the utility from the iTunes App Store, but the iPads still cannot locate any of the three devices. All it can find is "Internet". I've tried on iPad 2, iPad Mini, iPad Mini 3 and none of them can see the Airport devices. On the other hand, I've tried the utility on iPhone 4s, iPhone 5, iPhone 5s, and iPhone 6 (all iOS devices running iOS 8.2), and the iPhones can all see the Airport devices
The symptoms are pretty consistent and reproducible. In the past 4 to 6 months, Airport Utiity did work properly on iPad. I'm not certain which version of the app and iOS were current when it worked, because I don't frequently use the app, unless I have network revisions done on my Mac and need to check results later. Tonight, I did use it because I have a malfunctioning IP camera. I scanned the network with a third party network scanner/sniffer on iPad and it confirms that the network is intact.
Basically, it's not iPad specifically, but it appears to be the Airport Utility running on iPad only, that has a problem locating the Airport devices. It seems to be a bug in the Airport Utility for iOS, as used with iPad. Has anyone else observed this?

I have never seen it either.. I have no problem with the ipad to discover any airports in my network.. and there are loads of them.. nor seen people reporting it as an issue.. but you have sure got something interesting happening.. what version Extreme is it?? Do you have something unusual in the setup?
If you are really brave or foolhardy.. save the existing setup.. and reset the main extreme to factory and redo the setup from the ipad.. I am pretty sure it will work as long as it gets first bite at the apple. (no pun intended).
Keep all names short, no spaces and pure alphanumerics.. same for passwords but can be longer.. ie names <10 is good.. passwords 8-20 characters. Mixed case and numbers.
I do notice that Airport Utility in ipad does behave differently (only slightly but it is there) cf the iphone. Some functions are missing in the phone version.. so I guess with the bigger screen the utility adjusts to how it works.

  • Airport Utility for iOS exposes Time Capsule passwords, and KEEPS them exposed!

    The new iOS version of Airport Utility is nice, but there is one troubling issue.
    The first time you attempt to gain information on a given network it requires you to enter the Time Capsule's password.  Once you have done this, you can drill down and it will show the devices various passwords in plain text -- the network, guest network, and the base station's passwords.
    While it could be helpful to be able to recover the passwords stored in the Time Capsule device, the problem is that once I have entered the Time Capsule's password into iOS's Airport Utility, it seem to remember it forever.  That means that someone could later run the Airport Utility on my iPad and view the Time Capsule's passwords.  That's a major security issue in my book.
    So, I think, if I delete the Airport Utility from the iPad and re-download it, it should have deleted all its data and no longer remember the Time Capsule's password, and so should not be able to expose the device's internal passwords.  But no -- I re-install the iOS Airport Utility and when it accesses the original network, it no longer asks for the Time Capsule's password and will still expose the devices passwords.
    Questions:
    1) Where is it storing the Time Capsule device's password?
    2) How do I remove that password from iOS so the security hole goes away?

    Yes, clearly a problem.  I'm in a situation where I have restricted access to my kids to certain hours.  They're not idiots and have found the way to re-enable access via the iMac in the house in the past.  Since this discovering, I have place password security on the AEBS.  What appeared to be the solution until the iOS version now exposes the passwords.  Fortunately they haven't bothered to identify this app on our iPad and/or haven't bothered to drill down into the details to see the 'show passwords' feature.  Simply put, whenever this app starts, enforce credentials for the AEBS like they do on the iMac.

  • Pppoe management via airport utility for ios?

    My isp requires that i 'disconnect' from my ppppoe login before just powering off my router else it wont reconnect for a few hours until the session on the server refreshes.

  • Airport Utility for iOS

    Can you change profiles of an airport express from iPad?  I have 2 profiles setup on my AE.  One for home use and one for travel.  How can I change to the travel profile from my iPad2?

    I'm struggling with this one too.

  • I can't find an airport utility for windows 8 or 8.1 to download.

    I have a desktop computer with windows 8.1 and an Airport Extreme base station. I need to install the Airport utility to set up the Airport Extreme base station and I can't find at apple support an Airport utility for my operating system to download..

    If you have an iPhone or iPad handy, the setup is much easier on those devices than it is compared to a PC.
    If you have an iOS device, download and install AirPort Utility on the App Store on iTunes - Apple

  • Airport utility for iPhone question...

    Hi,
    The airport utility for my iPhone does not show the client list, the utility on the iPad does show the
    Client list... Am I holding it wrong?
    Jerry

    Access to the DHCP or Wireless client lists do not seem to be an available options with the iPhone/iPod Touch version of the AirPort Utility.

  • Since I upgraded to Lion 10.7.2, my external HD is no longer visible in AirPort utility (in the AirPort disks tab). I also installed the AirPort utility for iOS5, it reported a disk problem, but running Disk Utility on the Mac showed no issues. Help!

    To expand on the question, I have performed the following steps:
    1 - Unplugged external drive (1TB WD MyBook) from the Time Capsule
    2 - Reconnected it. At this point, AirPort utility for iOS5 reported a problem with the disk (Time Capsule light was blinking Orange)
    3 - Unplugged external drive, connected it to MacBook Pro, ran Disk Utility. It found no problems (disk visible straight away on the MacBook Pro).
    4 - Reconnected to Time Capsule - still doesn't show up under the "Disks" option under Air Port utility. Or rather, the hardware is visible (i.e the physical disk) but not the volume.
    5 - I tried another external hard drive, and the volume also doesn't appear in the Disk section under the AirPort utility.
    The WD disk is formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
    This is a big problem for me, as the drive houses my iTunes library.
    Anyone else had a similar problem? It all worked flawlessly until last week.

    I love computers.
    Have managed to fix this already. Been working the issue for a few days now, and a few minutes after writing the above post I decided to reset the Time Capsule to factory default settings.
    After entering all my details again (used same network names, passwords etc) the Time Capsule was rebooted. When it came back on line - guess what? Yep, the MyBook WD drive is now visibile. I can connect via the network from my other machines to the drive, and iTunes is back.
    So - thought I would post my resolution in case it helps others.

  • 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.

  • For iOS the ipad version shows the folio that has been published, but the iPhone app is not.

    I am responsible for handling the apps and not at all involved with or know how the folio creation process works.
    When I build the app for iOS the iPad version shows the folio that has been published, but the iPhone app is not showing the folio.
    Is this something related to the build process or how the folio was created?
    The folio also shows up in the Android app (at least the phone I have tested with).
    Thanks,

    "Android and iOS viewers have different requirements for displaying folios. Any folio size you create can appear in an Android viewer. The articles are scaled and letterboxed as needed. However, on the iPad, the viewer displays only folios with a 4:3 aspect ratio. The iPhone viewer displays only folios with a 3:2 or 16:9 (1136x640) aspect ratio."

  • Airport Utility for Windows fails during install

    I downloaded the latest driver for the airport utility for Windows 7.   Ran the exec and during the install had a failure on some file that didn't get installed.
    Have all firewalls down.  Utility comes up but doesn't find my airport extreme.

    Thanks.  Tried the hard wire approach and the utility didn't find it.   Did the config other and it was found.  So the unit is there but the utility can find it which is what I need in order to connect the shared drive to my windows 7 system.
    The airport base station agent is running and configured but I never get a prompt to enter the disk password.
    Nice clue about using the IP to connect.
    I did this via WIFI. Used my iMac to get the IP address.
    The time machine is in bridge mode and connecting through another router to the internet.

  • Airport Express Install help needed as Airport utility for PC seems to sort of work?

    Hope someone can help.
    Just bought the Airport Extreme 802.11n Wi-Fi
    It is connected to my cable modem, and i have my ps3 hard wired to it.
    It is on and sending a signal because this computer is using the internet connect on it right now.
    Problem is it is still unsecured as the Airport Utility can find it but then when I click continue to set-it up it gives me the following message.
    An error occured while trying to access the apple wireless device. Make sure your network connection is valid and try again.
    Error 10057.
    Any help would be great. I'm on a PC running Windows 7.

    Thanks for the reply.
    All we have is the cable internet modem....it provides our phone and internet signals....tons of lights on it the front that are solid green or flashing green when in use.
    I have connected a cable from the modem to the airport express (WAN spot). Plugged in the device (power) and then downloaded Airport Utility for windows from apples website (no disk came in the box).
    I have have two wired connections running to the extreme as well, one is to my PS3 downstairs and the other I use when I'm at my desk with my office laptop. These shouldn't be affecting anything and I can get internet on my PS3 wired connecton so I know the router is functioning.
    I installed Airport Utility and have rebooted my PC running windows 7, I click and opne the Utility. It finds the base station but when I click on the options to continue or manual I get the error message noted in my first post. I have alos noted that the router goes green light to yellow to flashing yellow. It does nothing but flash amber right now.
    Hope this helps for solutions?
