Airport Utility v.6.2 not compatible with 1st gen Extreme?

Hello All,
Ruh Roh!!!  Recently upgraded my Macbook Pro from 10.6.8 to 10.8.2.  Attempted to reconfigure 1st gen Airport Extreme and received the 'not compatible' notice.  I'm connecting through it ok at the moment;  workaround?  Can I go back to a previous Utility version?

Attempted to reconfigure 1st gen Airport Extreme and received the 'not compatible' notice
A 1st Generation AirPort Extreme is compatible with 10.8.2.
Is this the model that you have? 
Or, is your AirPort Extreme the older "round" version?  Apple dd not use Generation numbers on the "round" version of the AirPort Extreme.

  • HT5022 Is it true that Airport Express Utility 5.6 is not compatible with OS 10.8.2, even though the Airport Express Utility 6.2 that I have is said to be incompatible with my Express?

    I've been having a problem with needing to reset my older Airport Express once or twice a week, and I thought that I'd check my settlings and possibly get any updates available.  I'm told when I try to use my current version of Airport Express Utility (6.2) that I need to unstall the older Airport Expess Utility 5.6.  But when I tried to install Utility 5.6, I was told that it was not compatible with my operating system.  Is it possible that under 10.8.2, I no longer have an usable Airport Utility program available?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    Although OS X Mountain Lion comes with AirPort Utility 6, AirPort Utility 5.6 is perfectly compatible. Follow these steps:
    1. Download AirPort Utility 5.6 > http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482 if you have downloaded it yet, ignore this step.
    2. Open Terminal and type:
    cd ~/Downloads && pkgutil --expand ./AirPortUtility56.pkg ~/Downloads/AirPortUtility56 && gunzip -c<./AirPortUtility56/AirPortUtility56Lion.pkg/Payload | sudo tar -C / -xvf - "./Applications/Utilities/AirPort Utility 5.6.app"
    3. Open Finder, go to Utilities folder and open “AirPort Utility 5.6” to set up the AirPort Express

  • Issues with 4th gen ipod touch that I did not have with 1st gen

    Got the 4th gen touch, and right away the most annoying thing was the pause in my music when locking/unlocking the ipod. It is a small pause, but nevertheless my 1st gen touch never had this. Is this an issue with all newer ipods or just me?
    The battery is also funky, as it will run down to 3% and then the ipod turns off. Plugging in the ipod to charge turns it back on in a few minutes, as expected, but it always shows 40-42% charged when the unlock screen shows up. Do ipods quick charge to 40% from empty in 10 minutes or so?
    Are these things fixable by Apple, and would I lose the engraving on the back?
    The pause has been with me since I first started using the ipod. The battery issue possibly also, but I recently noticed it. A full reset, without restoring the 1st gens settings did not improve anything.

    I can answer a few of these. I don't know about the pause. The battery doesn't surprise me. The new apple devices are infamous for having battery life issues. I don't think there is anything apple can do but if you take it in, you can choose to keep or give up your engraving. Keeping it will extend the repair time by a week or two.

  • Is the new Pages iOS 5 app compatible with 1st gen iPad?

    Hello, I should point out that I have upgraded my iPad software to the new iOS 5 version.  I just saw in the Apps store since the new Pages update a few days ago, that some people are complaining about incompatibility for the 1st gen iPad.  Any truth to that before I purchase?
    Thanks!
    -Jack

    Hello All,
    Guess what?  Yes indeed the newly updated Pages works perfectly with the 1st gen iPad like what I've got.  And documents do, in fact, work in either portrait or landscape mode automatcially as you turn your iPad.  Apparently, you should first update to the new iOS5 before you install the new Pages. 
    Thought I'd throw that out,
    -Jack 
    P.S.  Pages is fantastic on the iPad and especially when it's hooked up with the Apple wireless keyboard.

  • Itunes 8 not compatible with 1st generation ipod shuffle

    I have had a **** of a time tonight trying to get my ipod shuffle working with itunes 8 and finally gave up after trying to restore it via itunes 8 which totally screwed it up because it wouldn't finish the restore so I had to unplug the ipod. Got a zillion ipod busy errors when trying to restore. Used disk utility to format it for apple hfs.... still wouldn't restore.... ipod busy b.s. error messages... tried formatting it for fat on itunes 7.7.1 and finally got it so that itunes could get it restored and working. Problem is... now I have to try and switch back to itunes 7.7.1 which means deleting my computer from apple tv and using disk utility to backup my older 7.7.1 over my itunes 8 in order to get back to some kind of workable solution. Plus my itunes 8 library is more up to date than my backup. So that means more messing around. Fortunately I was able to restore most, not all of the files by plugging in my ipod 80gb. For some reason it didn't copy all the new movie files over.
    I've had so many problems with compatibility, crashing, locking up etc that it is no longer worth my time to try and use itunes 8.
    Not only can't I change album artwork in itunes 8... it basically doesn't want to work my my old ipod shuffle either.
    This is one version of itunes that was not tested properly before putting it on the download server.

    Hi there,
    I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the article below.

  • 3G connector not compatible with 2G suffle?

    Has anyone succesfully used the 3G connector to update/charge the 2G shuffle? I tried, but there was no activity at all - computer didn't recognize shuffle and vice versa. I replaced the 3G connector with the 2G and it worked instantly. The 3G connector worked with the 3G shuffle, no problems.
    If the connectors and shuffles are not cross compatible, then I have to bring separate connectors for the devices when I travel...

    The connector is NOT compatible with 2nd Gen shuffle.
    You'll have to carry them both on travel...

  • I have an old Airport Extreme that I want to password protect. I being told that Airport Utility 5.6 is needed to manage the base station. When I download it and try to install that utility I told that it is not compatible with OS X 10.7.4

    I have an old Airport Extreme that I want to password protect. I being told that Airport Utility 5.6 is needed to manage the base station. When I download it and try to install that utility I told that it is not compatible with OS X 10.7.4

    The odds are that you downloaded AirPort Utility 5.6.1.....which will only work with Leopard and Snow Leopard Macs.
    Since your post indicates that you are using Lion 10.7.4, you need the correct utility for Lion. The link is below:

  • I cannot run Airport Setup Assistant as the software is not compatible with my version of OS

    Bought a pair of Airport Express adaptors to link to (a) a BOSE sounddock and (b) one of my TV's to stream music etc.
    Installed the software but my Mac Mini tells me v4.2 is not compatible with my version of OSX.
    When going to apps | utilities I only have Airport Admin Utility (which won't run) and Airport Utility which runs, but doesn't find either of the fuly powered up and plugged in Airport Express devices.
    At the moment, this is an expensive waste of time.  How do I upgrade my software so that I can use these devices in the same way that I already use my Apple TV?
    Cheers.

    If you are running OS X 10.6.7, then you will want to use the AIrPort Utility that came with this operating system to administer your AirPort Express Base Stations (AX).
    Try temporarily connecting them, one at a time, to your Mac using an Ethernet cable, and then, use the AIrPort Utility to configure them.

  • Disk utility 12 not compatible with Mavericks

    I upgraded my late 2008 Mac Book Pro to Mavericks several months ago and just tried to open Disk Utility and get a message that the version I have is not compatible with Mavericks.  Mine is Disk Utility 12, is there an upgrade available?  I looked on the Apple site and couldn't find one.  Thanks!

    Well, I'm not on my Mavericks machine at the moment, but my Mountain Lion machine has Disk Utility 13, so Mav must have at least that or higher.
    Since Disk Utility is not a stand alone application, but an integral part of the OS, I'd suggest you use your recovery partition - hit Command + R keys during restart/boot up and choose to reinstall the OS. That should bring everything up to date.

  • AirPort Extreme card not compatible with Mac Pro???

    Hey,
    I recently purchased my Mac Pro without thinking to include any hardware for connecting to a wireless network.
    I have recently moved into a new apartment which I am keen to join to a wireless network which has just been set up by my roommate for his PC and Laptop.
    I was going to buy an AirPort Extreme card, but I have read that it is not compatible with the Mac Pro. Yet when I looked at the configure process for a new mac it was listed as one of the devises offered for wireless networking!!
    I am very confused...
    I was wondering if anyone could help me, i just need to know what hardware i will need and how it would be installed.
    thanks, all help will be greatly appreciated!
    Mac Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    the mac pro takes a slightly different airport express card. you have to purchase it at the retail store and have them install it. in my experience they will not allow you to purchase one and install it yourself due to the difficulty of installing it. best thing to do take your macpro into a apple retail store and see what they can do.

  • I have an icon on my MAC desktop called disk utility. When I click it on it a message says it is not compatible with this version of OS X. Can I then delete this set of files?

    I thought the disk utility icon on the desktop may be related to my old software. I was going to move it totrash but it had over 2000 files and so I did know if it was still being used or could be moved to trash.
    What kind of files are in there? Sounds like a carry over from your last system. DiskUtility should only be kept in Utilities with a shortcut in the dock or an alias on the desktop, idealy.

  • HT5022 What works with Mountain Lion?  AirPort Utility 5.6 will not install on Mountain Lion.

    What gives?  The AirPort Utility 5.6 wil not load on a computer running Mountain Lion.  Attempted both on an iMac and Macbook.

    That is correct, the 5.6 version of the AirPort Utility will not install under Mountain Lion ... but it will run on it once installed. One option is to use a utility, like Pacifist, to extract and "install" the utility into the Utilities folder.

  • HT1199 My mac has OSX version 10.8.2 and I'm try to install an aiport express base station which requires 10.5.7 or later. Yet when I try to install the software it says the base station is not compatible with my mac version - how do I resolve?

    You already have the software installed that you need if you have 10.8.2.
    If AirPort Utility cannot find the Express, that is another matter. More software is not needed. More troublehooting is needed.
    Power up the Express for a full minute
    Hold in the reset button on the Express for 7-8 seconds and release
    Allow a full minute for the Express to restart
    Click the AirPort icon at the top of the Mac's screen
    Look for a heading of New AirPort Base Station
    Just below that, click on AirPort Express
    What happens?

    Mac OS 10.4.9. iTunes 7.1.1 (5)
    Airport Extreme Base Station "chained" to 2 Aiport Express Remotes. All connections are fine. Have internet on remote Macs. Airport Admin utility displays all three airport units, but I'm now unable to broadcast to the remote Express hooked up to my stereo in adjacent room. Have done this many times in the past without problem, but not in past couple months, so can't say if it broke with 7.1 or 7.1.1, but I get this message from iTunes:
    The remote speaker "Living Room Speakers" is not compatible with this version of iTunes.
    Prior to restarting iTunes (and being sure all Aiport station firmware was up-to-date, I was getting the message that no speakers were connected (double-checked all speaker and stereo connections), but now just the "not compatible" message.
