Airport Utility installation on Yosmite

I am trying to install Airport Utility 6.3.1 on my Yosemite based MAC. After agreeing to the agreement i get the following message
"Airport Utility can't be installed on the disk.  The version of Mac OS X on this volume is not supported"
Is there a later version of the utility that i need to download for my airport express?

I am trying to install Airport Utility 6.3.1 on my Yosemite based MAC
The most recent and up to date version of AirPort Utility is already installed on your Mac if you installed Yosemite, since AirPort Utility is part of the Yosemite operating system.
Look in Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility

  • Unable to open airport utility on Windows 7

    I'm unable to open Airport Utility on my Windows 7 laptop because I keep getting an error message saying Airport Utility requires Windows 7 service pack 1 or later.  SP1 was already installed.  I tried deleting and reinstalling SP1 and Airport Utility still won't open.  Any ideas on how to fix this?

    This can happen when the Airport Utility installation download can't find an authentication file - short of doing a clean install of Windows 7, try the following:
    1. Delete any old Windows folders if Windows 7 was an upgrade
    2. Turn off anti-virus programs
    3. Turn off the Windows Firewall
    4. Delete any partial installations of the AU that may be present
    If the above does not work then try to download the previous version of the AU 5.5.3 at http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1391

  • Airport Utility won't open in Windows XP Pro after installation

    Hi
    I just bought Airport Express - AirTunes. I've installed enclosed software and updated with latest firmware by Apple Software Update. I've still problem to open Airport Utility. When I try to open the program I got a explorer failure.
    The failure signatur is:
    AppName: aputil.exe AppVer: 5.2.1.8 ModName: kernel32.dll
    ModVer: 5.1.2600.3119 Offset: 00012a5b
    I've tried to resolve the problem by looking for solutions on Apple.com, Microsoft.com and Google.com but still no solutions. Please help.

    Hi, I have the same problem and called the Apple support hotline. I gave them detailed descriptions of the problem. They told me my Windows installation was screwed and I should reinstall Windows. Makes you wonder why the support hotline isn't aware of the problem ...
    The recommended older version seems to work fine. Hope it will communicate with my airport express station ...

  • OSX Lion 10.7.3 and Airport Utility 6 Installation Errors

    I tried to run a Software Update and install the latest upgrades but the installation fails for both Airport Utility 6 and OSX Lion 10.7.3 updates. Each time, the update is downloaded succesfully then after the installer runs for a while an error pops up on the screen saying something like "Error: A number of files could not be installed" and all you can do is "ok" it. Nothing gets installed. When downloading JUST Airport Utility 6 from the Apple website to attempt a manual install, I get the following error:
    I've tried running Fix Disk Permissions on the drive, and even Rpair Disk, but found no errors of any kind on the disk. My disk has over 300GB of available space. The Mac is a 2011 MacBook Pro 2.3Ghz with 4G RAM, currently running 10.7.2.
    I've never had ewrrors with an Apple Software Update before, so this is very strange...
    Apple, can you please help, or let us know if there will be a fix forthcoming?

    Examination of the system log shows the following error exactly when the update fails:
    xpchelper[1030]: could not open dyld map file: (null)
    Installer[1166]: The Installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance.

  • Install Airport Utility 5.0 without the installation CD

    Good morning,
    I am travelling and need to install the Airport Utility 5.0 for windows but I dont have the installation CD with me.
    I have been trying to look for the installation files but cannot find them.
    Can anyone help me?
    Thanks
    Nuno Sanches e Silva

    As you've probably discovered, the installation software for Airport Utility is only available on the CD, and not on this website. However, there is a way to get the software, but it requires a bit of a hack on your part. Some of this relates to Vista, so if you are running XP I think that you can ignore 14-19.
    1. You will need a program called Less_MSIerables:
    http://blogs.pingpoet.com/overflow/archive/2005/11/16/14995.aspx
    2. Download it to your desktop
    Unzip that file (Should end up in your unzipped file folder)
    3. Now, download Airport Extreme (works for Airport Express, too) software:
    http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/airportbasestationupdate2007001forwindows .html
    4. Run
    5. A window will open that states "This Update requires AirPort Version 5.0 to be Installed". *Don't exit from this window.*
    6. Instead, go Start ->start search and type in %temp%. Enter.
    7. YOu will see a file folder called IXP050.TMP
    8. Open it.
    9. You should be able to see a file called APsetup.msi.
    10. Click your mouse on it, but don't open it.
    11. At the top of the window you will see if the address of this file. If not, click the yellow file folder in the address bar. Copy that address.
    12. Next go to the folder in which you saved the unzipped version of Less_Msierables
    13. In a subfolder you will see a file called Lessmsi.
    14. Right-click on this file
    15. Go to properties.
    16. Go to compatability.
    17. Run in XP Mode
    18. Apply
    19. OK
    20. Again right-click on icon.
    21. Run as administrator.
    22. In the window that pops up, paste the address of Apsetup.msi
    23. You will see a list of many files, but the one of the first will be APUtil.exe.
    24. Extract this file to a location that you can easily find.
    25. A file folder will appear with a name like cab#APSetup.cab1
    26. Open that file folder and you will see a file APUtil.exe
    27. Click on that file, and the admin utility will open. You should be able to find your airport device.
    I suggest that you move this file to your desktop for easy access.

  • HT5022 trying to install airport utility 5.6 but during installation it says cleaning up then the installation fails how can I install the software

    I am trying to install airport utility on my mac with OS 10.7.5 to use my old airport express but during installation after it says cleaning up it stops installing with an error message an error occured.
    The software is from the Apple site and all it says is to contact the developer but cannot find out who to contact

    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.

  • Airport Utility 5.6 fails installation every time on MacBook Pro running Lion. Apple says should work. Any thoughts out there? Thanks, Allen

    I am trying to set up an older Airport as a "range extender" with MacBook Pro. Message is I need to use Airport Utility 5.6. I downloaded it, but installation fails every time. I'm on Lion. Any suggestions out there? Thanks, Allen

    AirPort Utility 5.6 for Lion will only work for systems running OS X 10.7.2.
    To install it on later versions requires the workaround described in this thread: How do I configure an Airport Express when I get this message in Airport Utility? "This version of AirPort Utility doesn’t support this base station."
    Pay attention to the caveat in the final paragraph, restated here for emphasis:
    Keep in mind that Apple's decision to abandon support for your original AirPort Express was for reasons known only to them. Remember that you are using obsolete equipment, should some future OS X feature not work for you.
    I am trying to set up an older Airport as a "range extender" with MacBook Pro.
    The only way to "wirelessly extend" a wireless network using the original 802.11b/g - only AirPort Express or Extreme is to implement a WDS, a woefully inefficient compromise that's difficult to configure even for experienced users. You can use an original Express or original AEBS as an additional wireless access point for a wired LAN in a "roaming network" though.

  • Airport Express Installation Utility for Windows 7

    Is there an Airport Extreme Installation Utility for Windows 7 64-bit?

    There is no airport utility for windows after 5.6.1
    BUT you must use Airport utility v6 for any of the new airports.. although people report different experiences with 5.6.1
    Install in windows 7 64 bit is still possible.. boot to safe mode and try again. And Again.. And Again.. Isn't windows fun!!
    It can usually be worked around .. although Apple seem less and less interested in making Windows accessible.
    The airport utility for iOS is great and most people will have iphone or ipad they can use.. much better than windows AU. 5.6.1

  • Installer won't install updates (10.7.3 Combo/ AirPort Utility)

    I was wondering why Software Update (or whatever it is called on the English GUI) didn't display the 10.7.3 or the Airport Utility updates yet on my iMac (27" mid2011 / OS 10.7.2).
    So I tried to run Software Update manually. Software Update tells me that there is no new software available for my Mac.
    Next I tried to download the Combo Update to 10.7.3, Airport Utility 5.6 and 6.0. Turns out that I can't install any of those updates manually either.
    When I have to define the location to install the update all my hard disks have the warning sign attached and the following message is displayed:
    Mac OS X Combined / Airport Utility /...  can't be installed on this disk. An error occured while evaluating JavaScript for the package.
    Tried repairing permissions, rebooting, no sucess so far.
    Any help would be appriciated!

    Oh god, just figured out what the problem was...
    Booted up from the recovery partition and there it said "Can't install Lion on Server partition." I knew instantly what happened.
    A few weeks ago I installed Snow Leopard as guest in Parallels via the ServerVersion.plist workaround. Forgot to delete the file I copied via Terminal... no wonder Softwareupdate couldn't install anything since it thought this was a Server. Thanks, your suggestion led to the resolution of this problem. 

  • Airport Express installation of airport utility.

    My Macbook uses Mac OS X version 10.5.8. my software is updated, but I am unable to download the Airport Utility software. When I try this error message comes up..."Macinosh HD; 102 GB available; 148 GB total. You cannot install AirPort on this volume. This update requires Mac OS X v10.3.3 before this software can be installed." Since I have v10.5.8 can you tell me why the software won't download? Do I need 148 GB of room?

    Since I have v10.5.8 can you tell me why the software won't download?
    Because Mac OS X 10.5 includes a newer version of it. Generally, peripheral software such as that is included with newer Mac OS X versions.

  • How to use the "identify" feature in new 6.3.1 airport utility?

    how to use the "identify" feature in new 6.3.1 airport utility?
    so you can find the basestations in larger networks?

    There is a workaround, which is to use Airport Utility 5.6.
    I can confirm that 5.6 will run on 10.8.4 Mountain Lion, it will recognize the new 2013 Airport Extreme Base Station (A1521) running firmware 7.7.1, and it will give you access to view the device's Log & Statistics, DHCP Clients, and Profiles.
    Four caveats:
    1) The easiest way to install it is to download the app itself, not an installer or through the App Store. There is a page here where you can download the app: http://coreyjmahler.com/2013/03/08/airport-utility-5-6-on-os-x-v10-8-mountain-li on/ This way, you still have both versions, Airport Utility 6.x.x and 5.6.
    2) When you launch 5.6, you'll get a message saying a newer version is available and asking if you want to update. Click Cancel to proceed into the utility.
    3) When you click the Manual Setup button in 5.6, you'll get a warning dialog that "This version of AirPort Utility doesn't support this AirPort wireless device and might improperly configure the device if you continue to use it. Check www.apple.com/support/airport for the latest version of AirPort Utility." You can click Continue to get into the utility without issue.
    4) You should probably only use 5.6 to view the additional status details. I have not tried to modify and save any AEBS settings using 5.6. There are other discussions here in the forums indicating that attempting to save settings via 5.6 that are no longer available in 6.3.1 will not actually save the settings to the AEBS even if both utilities indicate that the settings are changed. See https://discussions.apple.com/message/22677993#22677993
    So, even though you can't use it to modify settings no longer available in Airport Utility 6.3.1, using Airport Utility 5.6 to view DHCP clients, Logs and Statistics is very useful for troubleshooting network issues.
    PS - There are two ways to get to the DHCP Clients list, neither of which is obvious The first is to go to the Airport pane -> Summary tab and click on the "Wireless Clients:" label in the Summary display. All of the labels from "Wireless Mode:" down on the Summary display operate as links to view/edit the corresponding info/settings, which is also not obvious at first glance. Also not obvious, clicking on "Wireless Clients:" actually brings up a new pane with three tabs: Logs, Wireless Clients, and DHCP Clients. You can also get to the same pane by going to the Advanced pane and clicking on the Logs and Statistics button.
    I hope this is helpful information. Took me a while to find out how to do this.

  • Are you having problems with Windows XP Pro and Airport Utility Updates?

    I was having problems with my wireless laptop setting up my Bonjour Printer. I checked to make sure I had downloaded the latest updates to Airport Utility and Bonjour. Check. After doing this I noticed I couldn't see my Airport Extreme through the Airport Utility. After much frustration and bringing my entire network crashing down around me, I got help from a knowledgeable guy from Cox Cable in San Diego. He helped me get my trusty iMac Power PC online. It saw my Airport Extreme but no answers were forthcoming in any forums about my XP issues. Here is what finally solved my problem. I uninstalled all Airport Utility and Bonjour Programs. I then went back to Airport Utility 5.3.1 for Windows. It installs Bonjour Printer services with this download. Everything is working perfectly again. I have my Canon Pixma MP500 connected to the USB port on my AEBS and Bonjour walked right through the setup process. I suggest that if this works for you, turn off all Airport Utility and AEBS firmware updates until you see that whatever issue Apple created with these updates gets fixed.

    Well... it worked! :D
    I'm pretty sure the extra 512 memory stick was the problem, that would explain why it was being inconsistent with its type of failures before. I'm going to reinstall it later and run memtest86 and try and see if i can get it to work at all somehow without causing problems, cuz 1.5 was already low enough...
    DryHeat, yeah it was with SP2 but I got it installed now so no worries
    Thanks a lot!

  • How do I access Airport Utility 5.6?

    I can no longer see remote speakers on iTunes so can not play music through airplay - via airport express.  I went to Airport Utility and got a message that said this version of Airport Utility doesn't support this base station.  Use Airport Utility 5.6 to configure or manage this base station. My computer is a MacBook Pro running 10.7.3.

    I have tried downloading airport utility 5.6, but everytime I try the installation fails. I'm running OSX 10.7.5
    ANY IDEAS
