AirPort Utility Opens By Itself EVERYDAY Since Firmware Update

Ever since the AirPort Express firmware update a few days ago, the AirPort Utility opens everyday by itself, usually in the AM and under no specific set of circumstances. It always goes to the same info regarding sharing music and only gives me the option to continue to set up the AirPort automatically. When I quit and then check the settings manually, the music settings seem to be set up just fine.
Anybody else have this problem? Doesn't seem like the firmware update could affect the software on the Mac, but I have no other explanation.

In Airport Utility, check the preference menu item. There is a checkbox to monitor airport devices. If a device reports a problem, Airport Utility will launch automatically. Maybe somehow this option is turned on??

MacBook Pro 15" resets when Airport Utility opens

My 2011 Macbook Pro randomly resets throughout the day.
This seems to be only when on the internet and every time the Airport Utility opens.
I've re-installed the software and switching the WiFi off will allow the computer to start.

Thanks, Tim. I will try your suggestions. I've been tinkering on my own with this problem, and a pattern may be emerging. I was asking myself, why DID I have internet access from the MacBook Pro the other evening and at no other time through a wireless connection since the 10.6 upgrade, save the fleeting moments when AirPort has just been turned on? Well, that seems to be the only time that the MacBook was connected to AirPort FIRST.
So, I turned AirPort off on this computer (the G5 tower that hasn't experienced problems) and toggled off and on AirPort on the problem machine. Internet access has again resumed on the laptop. After several hours of periodic usage, I turned AirPort back on on the G5, and both machines have been functioning well since.
I suspect tomorrow will be a different story, unless I repeat these steps (I don't typically shut down the desktop machine overnight). We'll see.

Why is my airport utility opening automatically?

For some reason my airport utility will open automatically. This has happened twice in the last few weeks. Everything seems fine. Signal is strong, cable modem seems fine. Software/firmware seems to be up to date. Does anyone know what could trigger the utility to open automatically.

It will do that if a device requires some attention, even for a brief moment, such as in the event your Internet service goes down momentarily.
Open AirPort Utility and select Preferences from the AirPort Utility menu. Consider un-checking "Monitor AirPort base stations for problems". That will prevent such nuisance AU openings.

PS3 gets lag spikes that vanish with AirPort Utility open

Having a rather strange issue. My setup includes an Airport Express, a PS3, Apple TV, an iPad and iPhone. I've shut down all other devices to simplify matters. When playing online games on the PS3 after a while I tend to experience in game latency issues. Not 100% of the time but usually after playing for a bit.
What has me puzzled is that opening the Airport Utility on my iPhone caused the problem to disappear for the duration of however long I kept the app open. When I closed the app, the lag came back. I left the app open on my phone for a half hour and had latency free gameplay the entire time.
Any ideas what the problem could be?

Airport Utility opens randomly

At random moments Airport Utility will open without me doing anything. Just now I was watching an episode of Californication on my touch and Airport Utility popped right up.
No network issues either. In fact I'm currently downloading a few podcasts.
Anyone else have this problem?

I'm also having this problem. No idea what's causing it. Anyone have any suggestions on fixing this? Thanks.

Since firmware update 7.5.2, erratic powering down.

Since I updated my firmware from 7.3.2 to 7.5.2 two weeks ago, I have been experiencing poor performance. The reason I was still on 7.3.2 was because 7.4.2 gave me erratic connections, and thus I rolled my firmware back to 7.3.2. I tried doing the same this time, but the Airport Utility is not offering anything but 7.5.2, and the 7.3.2 firmware was deleted from my system when 7.5.2 was installed. The Airport Utility is refusing to offer 7.4.2 or the 7.3.2 firmware.
My setup:
I do not have special settings like a VPN or things like that. I have the Airport Extreme connected to my cable modem, and the Airport Express on the other side of the house. The Airport Extreme creates a network, and the Airport Express extends that network. The network is using a WPA2 password. Channel 7 is being used because that's best for my area.
My problems:
- Random disconnects, which start at the Airport Extreme and spread to the Airport Express.
- The Airport Express has been shutting down on its own randomly, must unplug and replug several times in order for it to come back on.
- This morning, my Airport Extreme started showing the same behavior.
I have owned these devices for going on 3 years. This is a new problem, because I never had problems before. I was ready to buy another Airport Express because I thought it had started dying; but when my Airport Extreme started showing the same behaviors this morning I was alarmed. It has happened twice since this morning.
Please help! Or provide any information you know about this.

Have you tried to download via...select Airport Utility in the Finder>click on "Airport Utility"> on the drop down menu click on "Check for updates" as you hold down the Option key. Down load the version you want...then upload and install using Manual Setup>click on "Version", third line from top. Good Luck, RJB
BTW: I'm running Airport Utility, 5.5.2

ITunes cutting out via Airplay since firmware update

Today after updating the firmware for my airport express my music now cuts out playing from my macbook pro.
I've tried every comination of 5 ghz network and 2.4 ghz network and it cuts out every ten seconds or so.
This is maddening. My music system is hosed because of an "update" by Apple.

Same problem as yours but I've found a way to downgrade the Airport firmware on OSX Mountain Lion. You need to install the Airport Utility 5.6 on wichever OSX version you are (http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482). Mountain Lion will refuse to install the package. To bypass this, you have to use the shareware Pacifist (http://www.charlessoft.com/) wich will enable the installation of the package.
From Airport Utility 5.6, select "manual configuration" / then click on the word "version" / and finally choose the firmware version 7.6.1 or whichever other previous version you wish. And voilà!
Does not resolve the 7.6.3 issue but at least, it permit to listen to audio without constants cut out. Just have to wait for another upgrade from Apple. But for my part, I'll stay away from them ;-)

Can not open my msn mail since I updated Firefox, get connection timed out error

Since we updated our Firefox to the last version I have not been able to open my email at msn/live.com We have 3 computers networked and it will not open on any of them. However, my husbands account [email protected] opens. I can open it on my home computer but not at our office and it is our office email. Can you help? I've cleared the cache through the tools/options/etc. It will not open on IE either.
Thanks. Since I can not open this email account I have a yahoo account at [email protected]

Seagate external drive not recognized since firmware update

I've looked through the posts here and haven't found this issue addressed specifically, so here goes. Any help will be appreciated.
I ran the firmware update on my MacBook Pro the other day, and everything has been normal since, except when I went to switch on my Seagate external HD - which I use as a backup drive - this morning. The mac doesn't see it at all.
Brought the drive into the office this morning and the iMac here, which hasn't been updated in at least 6 months, sees the Seagate right away.
I haven't upgraded to Leopard, though I have it, becuase I'm in the middle of a project and don't want any trouble with ProTools. In fact, I hadn't been making any updates at all, but in a moment of weakness ran the firmware update!
Thanks in advance.

I can't wake up my MacBook without power cord since firmware update

Even though my battery charges fine and it's on 99% full
it won't wake up without a power cord.
when I walk away from the computer and close the lid, when I open it again and hit the space bar nothing happens. I have to hit the power up button and still nothing happens. then I plug in the cord and I get the grayed out screen and see the energy coming back with the white stripes loading across the screen.
Now I just pulled out the cord with it on and sat there for 1 minute to see what happened. The computer shut down! My MacBook effectively can't get the energy off my battery. What is going on??
This just started 2 days ago right after it asked me to load new firmware. I don't even know why I needed to update the firm ware but all I know now is my Macbook can't live without the power cord now and I was fine before. HOW DO I UNINSTALL that FIRMWARE UPDATE?? or HOW do I fix this??
please help me

My macbook is presenting the same problem after firmware update. Resetting the smc didn't work, as well as resetting the pram and repairing permissions in safe boot mode. Help, please... my mac suddently turned to be a PC.... simply not working!!!!
I tried to clean the battery plate, as well, but i am able to wake my mac up only with power cord plugged in... after restarting the computer, by pressing the power key for 10 seconds, the battery works pretty good...

My ipod nano 6th gen doesn't appear anymore in iTunes since firmware update.

My IPod nano was upgraded to the firmware update to 1.2.
I've lost all my music on it during the firmware upgrade (not sure this is normal).
I can't see it anymore in ITunes. I got some windows blue screen when trying to solve the problem.
I've tried to uninstall-reinstall all Apple products on my windows 7 (following the apple support, with bonjour, quicktime, ...).
I've also tried to connect it on 2 other fresh windows machines, but it doesn't appear either ...
I've tried with other software but impossible to use because the first libray must be created with iTunes.
The iPod seems normal and the screen is reactive ... but I can't use it without any music on it.
I've reset my ipod with no luck. Tried in disk mode also, .... what can I do more ?
I cannot restore it because it's not visible in iTunes.
Many thanks for your help !
