Airport Utility `install failed' error with both 6.0 and 6.1

Hi folks
I am running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4 (11E53) and cannot get the Airport Utility to run at all. [5.5.3] The application icon flickers as though it is about to launch and then nothing happens.
I have tried other 5.x downloads and they all fail because I am running OS X Lion 10.7.4.
Doing a standard Software Update or using a download of 6.x from the Apple Support site, the installer comes up with an `install failed' error with both 6.0 and 6.1, having gotten through the complete process and looking like they were `successful'.
It's the only time in two years and many updates later that i have come across this issue, so I am unsure how to start to tackle it.
Any ideas or suggestions please?
Thanks in advance.

Welcome to Apple Communities
Backup your files and try this:
1. Reboot from recovery partition (or as in my case USB recovery drive)
2. Select Re-install Mac OS X
3. Allow the process to run through multiple restarts
4. When reinstall process is complete run software update (side note, my software update would not launch as long as my USB recovery stick was plugged in, weird)
5. Run all updates saving the Airport Utility 6.0 until last.
6. Install the airport utility from software update.

  • HT3728 I only show airport extreme when I open airport utility it used to show both with a green dot somehow only extreme is showing with the green dot

    can not figure out why when opening airport utility the green dot with the airport express picture is gone I only see the green dot next to extreme I did not change anything I only clicked on the dot and it was gone

    There are three Airport resets, soft, hard and factory default.  It would probably be beneficial if you tried each one in sequence.  Actually, you could jump to the factory default reset if you don't mind reconfiguring from scratch.

  • Airport utility scans fail.

    After airport extreme 7.6 firmware upgrade, airport utility scans fail and can't see my airport extreme or airport express. Both of these airports are working, have green lights, have internet access and also iTunes streaming. I'm willing to to downgrade to 7.5.2 but installer also does not see either airport.

    I have had the same kind of problem.
    My main connection to Internet is through my Time Capsule, I also have an Airport Extreme which is used to extend my wireless network to have better coverage, and to have a printer connected.
    It seems that the Airport Extreme goes into sleep mode and thus cannot be seen from Airport Tools - the only way for me was to power off power on and then wait for it to turn up in Airport tools.
    The reason for going into sleep ?? But I only used it wireless, and the with a printer on a network port. I then connected my Mac Mini by cable to one port and that seemed to do the trick :-) meaning som traffic on the ethernet ports - a connected printer does nothing, just sits waiting for print....
    Also found that there is something spooky with the NTP service from time.apple.com - not properly responding when pinged - changed to other NTP service.
    Apple - go fix! 7.6.1 is dearly wanted

  • I have an Airport Extreme Base Station and have recently upgraded to Mountain Lion. Now airport utility won't work with my base station so I bought a Time Capsule. For the life of me I can't make the substitution work and only see a blinking amber light.

    I have an Airport Extreme Base Station and have recently upgraded to Mountain Lion. Now airport utility won't work with my base station so I bought a Time Capsule. For the life of me I can't make the substitution work and only see a blinking amber light. Can anyone who has made this change offer some advice?

    The Utility transferred all of the AE's settings, so I still have to change the password, which leaves me with only 2 other questions, I think:
    1)  I assume it's just a matter of using the Utility, entering a stronger password and checking for it to be remembered in Keychain Access.  But do I have to  change the password for each individual unit-- the TC, the Extreme and both Expresses-- or will changing it just for the TC alone work for the entire network?
    Resetting the password you will need to do for each device... the utility cannot even see those old units.
    So you will have to do it for each one.. think it through.. because as you change passwords the others will lose connection.. so start from the express which are wireless extending .. change those first.. and go back up the chain.. as each one changes it will drop off the network.. until you reach extreme and change that. Then you might need to reboot the whole network to get everything talking again. If something goes wrong.. just pluck that one out of the mix and plug in ethernet.. reset and redo the setup. That is my preferred method anyway.. do everything in isolation one by one. By ethernet and then nothing goes wrong.
    2)  Who's the treasonous SOB who spilled the beans to you about the ICBM in my back yard?!?
    N.Korean hackers.
    [Edit] Whoops-- one more question:  I want to partition the TC's disk, but Disk Utility doesn't see it.  What do I need to do?
    You cannot partition a network disk. And apple provided no tools for it in the TC itself. You can pull the disk out and partition it but that voids your warranty. (although done with care who is to know).
    Look at Q3 here.

    Mixing TM and data on the TC is worth planning carefully. They don't necessarily sit happily together.

  • QuickTime Install Failed Error Code -3 - At Wits End Ready to Return IPOD

    I have been trying to install QuickTime with Windows XP for the past 8 hours. First, I receive the message Install Failed Error Code -3. Then I uninstall software and download and get Error 1722 and the Error 1603 Fatal Error. I'm in a vicious loop of installing/uninstalling. Called Apple technical support and they walked me through the same steps I've been going through all day and I still have the same results. I'm ready to return my daugheter's iPod. I have looked at all the technical help available and have completed every recommended solution with no success. What am I missing? Suicidal in Chocolatetown, USA.

    switch off antivirus and antispyware applications
    Download Quicktime 7.0.3 Standalone Installer
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/standalone.html
    Run the install from your hard drive, not over the internet
    That should fix you up.

  • Installation error Install Failed: Error Domain=PKInstallErrorDomain Code=112

    Trying to install an application or "whatever", from a mounted dmg image installer gives this error:
    Install Failed: Error Domain=PKInstallErrorDomain Code=112.
    A developer I contacted suggested a workaround by disabling/enabling checkmark of "Ignore ownership on this volume".
    Is there anyone knowing the reason for this issue and final solution?
    PS I already have verified/repaired permissions on boot disk.

    Steps to do
    1) /etc/hosts now reads:
    127.0.0.1     localhost
    192.168.56.101 demo.us.oracle.com oracle-pc
    2) updated java in path /usr/java from 1.5 to the latest version (1.6.0_27) by rpm-deinstalling the old version first and
    then rpm-installing the new version.
    3) Don't do a simple install.
    Instead u installed WebLogic Server 10.3.5 first, than do the Repository creation with RCU, followed by the BI Server software only install
    and finally the BI Server configuration.
    Marks as correct if helpful or let me know the updates?

  • Airport Utility won't work with Aiport Express A1084

    I have an older Airport Express, model A1084. I'm running OS 10.9.2 and Airport Utilty 6.3.2  The Airport Utilty I have will not allow me to control the Airport Express I have so I cannot change wifi channels to improve interference problems from other wifi sources from neighbors. Older versions that should work cannot be installed because they aren't compatible with my current version OS 10.9.2. What can I do to fix this? Is Apple going to make available a new version of Airport Utilty that fixes this lock out problem?

    Is Apple going to make available a new version of Airport Utilty that fixes this lock out problem?
    We are all users here.....just like you....so no one here will be able to tell you what Apple may or may not do.
    If you want an opinion.....AirPort Utility 6.x versions were introduced two years ago, and Apple has yet to change the utility to support older AirPorts....so my opinion would be that Apple will not ever change this.
    The easiest solution is to use....or borrow for 10 minutes....another Mac that is running the Leopard or Snow Leopard operating system...or...a PC with AirPort Utility installed to administer the older AirPort.

  • AirPort Extreme not visible in the airport utility installed on my Imac

    My AirPort Extreme is suddenly not visible in the airport utility installed on my Imac. After numerous rescans I am bordering to give up as the connection seems to be working fine when I connect it to the Imac through the ethernet cable. Any advices further than restarting the devices?

    For the app Airport Utility you have to be connected to the AE wifi.
    If you are not talking about the AU App, but the Airport Antenna you can do following:
    disconnect AE form power, wait 10-15 seconds, turn off the Airport Antenna in your mac. Then connect the AE to power, wait till it is fully started, then turn the Airport Antenna to on again.

    Sometimes bios recovery is a long shot .
    But the award bios v.6 is supposed to be able to do it if the bootblock is still intact.
    Best way seems to be to strip it down to minimal configuration , disconnect all drives except floppy , one ram module , perhaps without video card also .

  • Office 2010 fail - WARNING: Install failed, error = 0x80070663

    Hello,
    I can't seem to get SP2 for Office 2010 pushed out to a selection of Win 7 PCs, they get this error code:
    WARNING: Install failed, error = 0x80070663
    Has anyone seen this before?
    Thanks

    Can verbose logging get turned on?  We are just using the c:\windows\windowsupdate.log file.
    We are just testing against a group of Windows 7 PCs that are a common build within our company.  It seems most need around 1.5GBs of updates!
    We approved all over the required updates (yeah I know, we don't have time to check/test all) and most of the PCs needed several reboots and most
    said failed and had to roll back, but it seems it did do most updates of many days.   I'm not sure why they were failing, is it because they are so out of date and some of the approved updates are pre-requisites?
    We are new to WSUS, I think I ready another post uses a readiness tool, would that help?
    Thanks

  • Can I use my iPod with BOTH a Mac and PC???

    Might be an odd question and forgive me if it is an obvious answer. I just got a 30 gigger and connnected it up and charged it with my Mac mini at home last night. I have lots of music on my iTunes on my home Mac mini and I have some music on my work Dell Laptop(with iTunes). What would be the best way to sync up my two iTunes libraries (one on my Mac, the other on the Dell lapper) to the iPod, or is it even possible to use it interchangeably with both the Mac and PC??

    Yes, you can.
    Read through the following article, and make sure your iPod is Windows-formatted using the iPod Updater utility on Windows.

  • Can I use accounts in the Airport Utility to keep backup from multiple macs separate and separate?

    Can I use accounts in the Airport Utility to keep backup from multiple macs separate and separate?

    Backups from multiple Macs are always kept separate. Each Mac TM will create its own sparsebundle and will not interfere with others.
    Using the accounts in AU will simply make each sparsebundle only accessible to that user.. ie it is a purely a security measure.. that is so weak as to be useless .. anyone can bypass it by pressing the reset for 1sec.
    And what it will do is cut off everyone from their existing backups.. you will be warned when you set it up that what is about to happen may not be 100% goodness.. pay attention.. it is not.

  • Creating BusinessPartner with both mail to and bill to address

    Hi,
    I am having problem creating a business partner with both mail to and bill to address. I want to create two instances (lines) in BPAddresses; one with mial to address and another with bioll to address. But I still get the error code -5002 with the message "Address is empty [OCRD: CardCode} line:1"
    Below is my code in C#:
    SAPbobsCOM.BusinessPartners bp = (SAPbobsCOM.BusinessPartners) conn.InternalConnection.GetBusinessObject(SAPbobsCOM.BoObjectTypes.oBusinessPartners);
                   bp.CardName = "Test Tester";
                   bp.CardType = SAPbobsCOM.BoCardTypes.cCustomer;
                   bp.CardCode = "TEST29";
                   bp.Address = "1305 Blue Raven Blvd";
                   bp.City = "Citrus Height";
                   bp.Country = "US";
                   bp.BillToState = "CA";

                   bp.Addresses.AddressType = SAPbobsCOM.BoAddressType.bo_ShipTo;
                   returnval = bp.Update();
                   if(0 != returnval){
                        conn.InternalConnection.GetLastError(out errCode, out errMsg);
                        Console.WriteLine(errMsg);
                        return;
    I would appreciate if anyone can help me with this problem.
    Thank you in advance,
    Sunny

    Hi Sunny,
    The reason for your error is that you're trying to add a blank ship to address.
    bp.Addresses.AddressType = SAPbobsCOM.BoAddressType.bo_ShipTo;
    returnval = bp.Update();
    you are just specifying a type and then trying to update. If you want to add another line, you have to set some properties, like:
    bp.Addresses.AddressType = SAPbobsCOM.BoAddressType.bo_ShipTo;
    bp.Addresses.AddressName = "My Address";
    etc...
    etc...
    returnval = bp.Update();
    Hope it helps,
    Adele
