Airport utility update

My computer does does recognize my airport extreme since the update. I do not have an airport card. I cannot manually set up my airport as the Utility program does not "see" the wireless device as it scans. What should I do?

Please try a "hard" reset on your AEBSn, and then, try using the AirPort Utility again to see if you can access it. If after several attempts at doing the hard reset the AirPort Utility is still not able to access it, you may need to take it to your local Apple Retailer to have them take a look.

  • Latest airport utility update won't let me rename 5GHz network?

    The latest airport utility update changed the name of my 5GHz network and won't let me change it back, anyone else having this problem?

    You might want to take a look at AirPort Utility 5.6 for Lion. It is very similar to the previous version of AirPort Utility.

    Yes, you can have both 6.0 and 5.6 on your Mac and choose the one that you want to use. I think you may find that while 6.0 is fun to look at, 5.6 provides a lot more functionality.

  • 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!

  • I recently installed the 5.5.3 AirPort Utility update and my airport will no longer connect to the internet.

    I recently updated my macbook's AirPort Utility to 5.5.3 and it will no longer connect to wireless networks.  First let me explain everything I have done already, I have reset my router, and tried on other's (my friends and my schools) networks.  I have been able to succesfully connect to my friends wireless (router is made by netgear), but when i try to connect to my network (WRT54G linksys router) and my schools network (im unaware what they use for routers) I am unable to connect, and my AirPort will proceed either state it does not have an IP address and will assign itself one and will not connect to the internet.  It will connect to the network with an IP, but will be unable to connect to the internet with the browser claiming DNS lookup failure. 
    yes, I have deleted and changed my location,
           deleted the selected service.
           tried resetting my router
           cleared my PRAM / NVRAM
           installed the newest firmware onto my WRT54G
           Renewed my DHCP lease
           made sure my Configure IPv4 is using DHCP
          and theres a few more but i'm forgetting them.  
    Any suggestions on why the 5.5.3 update might of screwed up my airport?

    If everything else is connecting with no issues, I would go into the wifi setting on the iPad and redo the info there, user, password and anything else related to your wifi at your house.
    It is possible whatever he reset may have reset something to default setting which will not allow it to connect. If you need too then verify the wifi setting by comparing it with another device setting that works on your home network.
    Good luck

  • Problems after today's Airport Utility Update

    After downloading today's airport utility software update, now my MacBook Pro, running Snow Leopard, is unable to find any wireless connections in my home. I have a Netgear Router and an Apple Express. Nothing shows up and the computer continues to search for networks.
    Does this update have bugs in it?

    After updating to Airport Utility 7.5.2 my MacBook Pro can see the Airport 801N Extreme and join the network OK.
    But I have a DSL connection which I routinely turn off and on. To see if it is connected, I always have the 'Show time connected' turned on. It was working fine before the firmware update, resetting to 0:00:00 each time I disconnected.
    Now the clock never resets to zero when I disconnect, and the time just resumes from the last reading when I reconnect, hour later.
    A definite BUG. Please return my resetting 'time connected' clock.

  • Are there any further Airport Utility updates past 4.2?

    I'm having some issues with my Airport Extreme base station and I'm not really sure what to do about it, so here goes:
    Lately it's been sort of quitting on me. It will drop the network, become undiscoverable by my iBook, and just plain requires a restart. I've read other threads about this, but haven't really seen any fixes. I have 10.4.10, and firmware 5.7 for the base station. Is there any updated Airport Utility that I can get a hold of, or would this even help? I have an older base station (the g one, not the n), and Airport Admin Utility 4.2. Is that all there is for this base station?
    Maybe the thing is just going kaput on me. It was refurbished after all.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks!
    Cris

    Currently, there are no further updates to the AirPort software applicable to your base station.

  • Just bought an Airport Extreme that requires Airport Utility Update.  The needed update requires 10.7.5 or later which I do not have!  What do I do?

    Just bought an AirPort Extreme which requires a Airport Ulitity update.  The update needed is not supported on my HD.  It requires OSxV10.7.5 which I do not have.  What can I do?? 

    Options:
    Update your operating system to 10.7.5 (Lion) or 10.8.x (Mountain Lion)
    Use or borrow another Mac that is running 10.7.5 or 10.8.x to install the AirPort Extreme
    Use an iPhone or iPad for the installation

  • Software update not updating Airport Utility

    So I'm trying to solve itunes/airport express problems after an itunes update, and every time I access the airport utility it tells me there's a new version available (5.5.1), and to click update. So I click update and update wants to give me safari and mobilme, but there's no airport utility update in the window. ***?

    PebmarshSteve has an iMac G5 & 10.5.x is as far as he can go, but you can go to 10.6.x cheaper than 1.5.x.
    Tiger/10.4.11 isn't likely to ever see another update.
    Though I'd suggest you max your RAM out.
    Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
    General requirements
    * Mac computer with an Intel processor
    * 1GB of memory (I say 2GB at least)
    * 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
    * DVD drive for installation
    * Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
    * Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
    Which apps work with Mac OS X 10.6?...

  • 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 Extreme and OS 10.4.9: Airport Utility 4.1 latest software?

    As some posts have already stated, for those with G4 PPCs with 10.4.9, Airport Utility 4.1.1 (2005) is installed and Software Update says it is the current version. However, I've noticed both the Airport Admin Utility and Airport Setup Assistant have some problems communicating with and seeing my Airport Extreme. This prompted me to search for newer software, and there is the 2007 Airport Utility Update. Unfortunately, launching the updater results in the message the update cannot be installed without Airport Utility 5.1 already installed. But, as an earlier post asked, where is this 5.1 utility?
    BTW, before I installed 10.4.9, I was running 10.3.9, and had no problems setting up my Airport Extreme, so clearly there seems to be a problem between 10.4.9, and some other element of the setup--does anyone else have this problem?

    Thanks for the response, however, my question remains: I'm wondering if anyone else with an Airport Extreme ("b" version) and OS 10.4.9 installed has a problem using Admin Utility 4.1.1 and/or Airport Setup Assistant 4.1.1? Specifically, the problem is, after resetting the Airport Extreme, I was able to set it up using the Setup Assistant (establish the network, set the password), but thereafter, it does not show up in the Admin Utility at all (but the Extreme's lights flash as it is being accessed) and in Setup Assistant, it shows up, but there are "errors" when trying to change settings. It is very odd.
    When I was running 10.3.9, I had had no problems setting up/administering my Airport Extreme. Suspecting the Extreme itself, I even had an Apple Genius inspect it at the Apple store, but it was pronounced in working order. I might try to check the Airport card inside the G4 (by trying it in a friend's G4). If this communication problem is not shared by anyone else (ii.e., a software issue), it could be my Airport card.

  • Today Apple retail unit sold me Airport Time Capsule. Now trying to install on my Mac which runs OSX10.6.8. Seems I should have newer OSX and Airport Utility version. What can I do please?

    Today Apple retail unit/shop in sold me Airport Time Capsule. Now trying to install on my 21 inch iMac which runs OSX10.6.8. Seems I should have newer OSX and also newer Airport Utility version (mine is 5.6.1). What can I do, please? So much looking forward to using Time Capsule. It is not at all readable on box. Now with a magnified glass I can just about make out the installation requirements printed in tiny print at the bottom/base of the box! I have tried software update etc etc and to download Airport Utility update from Apple website. This was unsuccessful because of OSX, I gathered. Appreciate any similar experience and how it was resolved. Thank you. Tr

    You need OS X 10.7.5 or later. Most likely you can upgrade OS X on your iMac. You already have 10.6.8 and access to the App Store. If your computer qualifies to run Mavericks, then that is what you would upgrade to, otherwise, you would upgrade to Lion.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
    Upgrading to Mavericks
    You can upgrade to Mavericks from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mavericks can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
    Upgrading to Mavericks
    To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Mavericks from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mavericks is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
        OS X Mavericks- System Requirements
          Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
         Are my applications compatible?

  • Upgraded to 5.2.1 AirPort utility, now can't read AEBS config

    I have a new AEBS with gigabit ethernet ports. It came with software version 5.2 on CD. Just installed the suggested 5.2.1 AirPort utility upgrade now cannot open configuration of AEBS. The software sees the AEBS and can see the name and IP address (initial screen) but if I click either "Manual setup" or "Continue" it just sits there with "Reading base station...etc"
    Anyone struck this problem? Bit annoying with first software update.

    SOLUTION TO TRY
    As I mentioned I did a network packet sniff and found IPv6 traffic going between Mac and AEBS. I had one machine (MacPro) which had 5.2.1 update installed and one (MacBook) which didn't. The MacBook 'handshaked' sucessfully via IPv6 with AEBS, the MacPro did not.
    Based on that analysis I turned off IPv6 protocol on the MacPro and was immediately able to communicate with and read config from AEBS.
    To try yourself to see if it solves problem:
    1) Using account with administrator privileges open System Preferences, or use user account to open and authenticate after with administrator account.
    2) Open System Preferences | Network
    3) Choose either wired (Built-in Ethernet) or wireless (Airport) network connection and click "Configure"
    4) Choose TCP/IP tab then click button "Configure IPv6..."
    5) Set drop down list "Configure IPv6:" to "Off"
    6) Click "Apply Now"
    7) Retry to connect and load AEBS config - should work.
    IPv6 is not needed for most machines, it is not required for Internet access.
    Please note this is a workaround, I believe a bug was introduced in the 5.2.1 AirPort Utility update.
    Good luck! Don't forget points if solves problem for you

  • Wireless working, but Airport Utility can't find base station

    I am having issues with Apple TV and iTunes that led to me investigating my new Airport Extreme base station (AEBS) as possible cause.
    Oddly, I'm right next to the AEBS now and the wireless is working sweetly as I type. However, when I use the Airport Utility to access the base station, it can't find it - I can 'rescan' for all the hours but with no luck.
    Any ideas what's going on here?

    I've just encountered this problem for the first time. On my brand new MacBook Air (Leopard factory installed), I opened Airport Utility, entered Manual Setup, and restarted my Airport Extreme from the Base Station menu. It restarted, but once it was back up the Airport Utility could no longer find it, even though I was connected to the internet (and the Network preferences pane showed connection and a green light).
    I have a MacBook (vintage 2007) that's still on Tiger -- I've never had any problem using Airport Utility from there, so I imagine I can still configure the base station from there. But I hope this issue is on Apple's radar so there'll be a Airport Utility update that fixes it.

  • Since latest update to airport extreme im getting 10 unknown base station and time capsule items showing in airport utility as a network.  when able to "forget" them they initially drop off but soon return. how do i get them deleted and stay that way

    since latest update to airport extreme im getting 10 unknown base stations and time caps showing up as though they are a part of my network. sometimes i can "forget" them and they will disappear initially but soon return. i need and want only my connection inside my home . any ideas. i have done a factory reset and set up a new network but they continue to show up.

    I'm not convinced that the problem lies in Airport Utility. This same thing was happening to me, nearly exactly as you describe it. The thing is that with me, the problems clearly started when I updated the firmware in my Airport Express (n). That's when all the wacky stuff started happening. Sometimes it would show up in AU, sometimes it didn't and even if it didn't, I could still access the internet through it.
    But as you said, the problems got really bad when another Express (b/g) was put on the network with it. Even when it did work, the (b/g) would make it impossibly slow.
    You know more about this than me, and clearly have more patience if you've restarted the network fifty times. I gave up at about ten.
    In any case, your solution is more of a work around and if you're still having that slow connection problem, I'm not sure you've got it. But thanks for your reporting of this. At least I know I'm not crazy.

  • Attempted to install AirPort Utility 6.0 on my new mac mini. Install failed and now the previous version 5.5.3 won't open. I downloaded and tried to instal 6.0 without software update, which failed, and my old 5.5.3 AirPort Utility still won't open? Help.

    Now the previous version won't open. I downloaded and tried to instal 6.0 without software update, which failed, and my old 5.5.3 Airport Utility still won't open.
    iTunes no longer recognizes my airport express.
    Error Message:
    None of the selected updates could be installed.
    An unexpected error occurred.
    Can't delete Airport Utility and reinstal from scratch as it is, “AirPort Utility” can’t be modified or deleted because it’s required by Mac OS X.
    Any sugestions?

    I reinstalled AirPort 5.5.3 which worked, but the app still won't launch but iTunes now recognizes my AirPort Express, I just hope I don't want to change its settings.
