Airport Utility on Windows XP laptop can't find AE

Today, Airport Utility on Windows XP laptop says it can’t find my Apple Extreme device. Yesterday, Windows found it and provided wireless connection immediately. Today, no-go. The only change is that I plugged in a USB mouse -- doesn’t seem likely that’s the cause. I can get connected OK wired. AE lights up steady green, when I plug it into the modem so that makes it appear to be OK. I do not use I-Tunes and speakers -- just would like to avoid dragging an ethernet cable around. Can anyone suggest a solution?

I had the same problem. My AirPort utility in Windows would not detect the AirPort Extreme until I was already connected to the internet. I have two routers in my house. When I connected to my other router and was connected to the internet via that, then my AirPort Extreme showed up in my AirPort.

Thank's for your help,

Use AirPort Utility 5.6 which contains the features you need. It is compatible with Lion as well as Mountain Lion, however, the installer app will refuse to install it on Mountain Lion.
This dilemma is easily solved though. You simply need to extract the app from the installer package using a package extractor like Pacifist.
Download Pacifist here: http://www.charlessoft.com/
Download AirPort Utility 5.6 here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
If you happen to have an archived copy of the AU 5.6 app somewhere, such as a Time Machine backup or equivalent, you can simply restore it or drag the app to your Mountain Lion system's Utilities folder. It will run without complaint. It is only the package installer that is the problem.
Mountain Lion will not allow you to delete its existing version of AirPort Utility. Just ignore it. It and the older version (which will bear the unique name "AirPort Utility 5.6") can peacefully coexist.
Note: For those with Leopard or Snow Leopard systems you need AirPort Utility 5.6.1 (this is confusing - a later AirPort Utility version for an earlier OS X version - but it is correct).

Windows 7 desktop and AEBS-OK, old Windows XPpro laptop Can't find it?

Even printer hooked up to USB port works ( finally) 2 iPhones see the network and conncet immediately but old IBM laptop running Windows XPPro doesn't even see it when right on top of it ? help?!
Is there a solution? Thanks

Hello wiwmd. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Is your AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) the older 802.11b/g (domed-shaped) or newer 802.11n (square-ish) model? Regardless of model, which wireless encryption standard: WEP, WPA, or WPA2 are you using? Finally, which Service Pack level is your XP Pro running: SP1, SP2, or SP3?

I have bought an airport express after being assured that I will be able to print from my IPad. I have installed airport utility on my Hp laptop and it is configured correctly but the printer I have is showing neither on laptop nor on IPad. Can u tell how

I bought an airport express after being assured that I will be able to AirPrint from my IPad. I have set up airport utility on my Hp laptop and configured it properly with the express. But still I'm not able to detect the printer attached to the USB port of airport express, neither on my laptop nor on my IPad. Can someone tell me if and how it can be done?

Who assured you that an AirPort Express would allow you to use AirPrint from an iPad. They were incorrect.
AirPrint from iPads and other iOS devices is only supported on a select few wireless network printers that expressly advertise that feature. An AirPort Express will not add that feature to a printer that does not support AirPrint. Also, for printers that do support AirPrint a wireless access point is not required since the printer needs to support wireless networks connections internally.
The HP laptop should however be able to print to the printer connected to the AirPort Express. Try also installing the Bonjour Print Services for Windows. It will make printer discovery a lot easier when using Bonjour enable devices like an 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

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 on Mac and iPad can't see Airport Extreme or AEs

Airport Utility on my Mac can't see my Extreme base station or two extending AEs. I thought this might be because I've yet to upgrade my Mac software, so tried using Airport Utility on my iPad--same story. The Mac lists the Airports but with yellow ! warnings; the iPad just keeps searching. Yet the Internet is OK (and shows up with a green light) and I can connect to everything on the network.
Possibly unrelated, but our two Macs have each gotten the "IP address assigned to another device" message. Click Ok and it goes away and everything works, no rebooting or lease renewing needed.
It's weird. Not critical, as everything works, but worrisome. Ideas?

I had the same problem. My AirPort utility in Windows would not detect the AirPort Extreme until I was already connected to the internet. I have two routers in my house. When I connected to my other router and was connected to the internet via that, then my AirPort Extreme showed up in my AirPort.

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.

Thanks.

Your steps so far are OK but you may want to try:
1 Trash your user library Caches folder (House Icon with short name in Finder window (hard drive window)GOTO:House icon > Library folder > caches folder
2 Trash the com.apple.Safari.plist file in User library > preferences folder > Safari.plist as well as removing the library Safari folder its self.
3 you can selectivly re-install Safari 2.0 from your OS Tiger Install disk 1, (see Knowledge base article 301229 for how to just select the Safari Application) without doing a complete system Archive and Install.
4. Create a new Test user account on the system and test how Safari responds in the Test user, see if its a user related issue and not system issue.
5. Still no Safari response? have to do an Archive and install (not preserving user and network settings)article 107120
PS. Issue may be related to actual internet connection connectivity, power cycle cable modem and router or airport if using one as well as the computer(keep unplugged for 3-5 min) and plug the cable modem in and then the router/airport then power on the computer. Do the Airport Admin utiliy (applications, utilities on HD_1)update.
- do a hard reset of airport knowledge base article 108044(Express base) and 107451 (Extreme base)
- Check with internet provider for connection issues "cannot find server" ect.

Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from here (use one of the links under the thingy):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?
