Airport Utility for my iPad only shows graphics.

How do I get it to show me the settings for the Airport Extreme?

Hi bob wild,
Thanks for the suggestion, but alas I've tried that and all that happens is that the graphic gets larger or smaller.
Peace, David

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    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.

  • Does the Wish List for iPhone/iPad/iPod show price drops?

    Does the Wish List for iPhone/iPad/iPod show price drops? I assume it would show the new price in the Wish List but does it inform you if the price drops?

    The apps which show on the file sharing section on your iPad when connected to your computer's iTunes, you have exactly the same apps installed on your iPhone - they are not separate iPad and iPhone apps that you have installed on your iPad/iPhone, and only the iPad version supports file sharing ?
    For iBooks, that won't show, it doesn't support file sharing. You can add ibooks / epubs / PDFs to your computer's iTunes library (the iBooks app if you are using a Mac with OS X Mavericks on it) via File > Add To Library, and you sync them to a device via its Books tab :
    If you want to copy them off the device to your computer's iTunes (to the iBooks app on Mavericks) then File > Devices > Transfer Purchases will copy them over (that will copy PDFs and epubs from the iBooks app on your device, not just ibooks).

  • HT3728 I do not need another wireless network but want to use the airport express for printer access only.  Can this be done and how?

    I do not need another wireless network but want to use the airport express for printer access only.  Can this be done and how?

    You can configure the AirPort Expess to "Join a wireless network" and enable the Ethernet port so that Ethernet devices will be able to connect.
    In order to print from the iOS devices, you will need to have an application like Printopia installed on your Mac. The Mac must be active when you want to print.
    More details here: Printopia - AirPrint to Any Printer - Print from iPad - Print from iPhone ...
    There is a free trial available for Printopia, so make sure that it will work before you buy the AirPort Express.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • Airport Utility for OSX 10.10.2?

    Hello.
    I have Airport Utility for Windows...
    I have a Mac Book Pro and would rather use Airport Utility here. I downloaded AU latest version and it says it's not compatible with my OS version.
    Is there a proper version for Yosemite, or do I need to use a Windows machine to manage my Apple hardware?
    Help!

    You already have the most up to date version of AirPort Utility installed on your Mac using Yosemite (10.10.2)

  • 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.
