Airport utility windows 7, airport utility windows 7

Dear Sir,
I have a Windows 7 64 bits. The AirPort Utility installed correctly with no error but I can not see my TC and AE. ("AirPort Utility was unable to find any AirPort wireless device ...")
On another PC with Windows XP SP3 Airport Utility works correctly and I see Time capsula OK.
Can you help me with Windows 7.
Best regards,
Alex

UPDATE
* I located the IP address and admin password of the airport extreme and was able to log into to the (File / configure other) airport extreme.
I believe it's a W7 bonjour issue.
As you can see in my attachments, Bonjour is installed however msconfig running services show it as stopped. I can't get it to start.
** How can I force bonjour to start? **
Here are my replies to your recommended steps:
What version extreme are you talking about? Actual model A1xxx from the base is a big help.
- I forgot to check this
Step 1.. Ping.. Ping is your most important tool to find things on a network.
Open a command window and type ping 10.0.1.1 (or whatever is the current IP of the extreme).
- Yes, I can ping it.
Please turn off all firewalls.
- Yes, firewall is off
Make sure the win7 is not in homegroup.
- done.
Make sure win7 is set to home.. not work or public for location of the network.
- done.
Step 2. .. This assumes you now have ping response.
In whatever airport utility you like, reset the extreme to use all SMB names.
- WHERE do I make these changes?

  • Airport utility is not working on Windows. I can configure Airport Expresses with the Macbook but multiple computers with Windows and the latest Airport Utility time out after trying to connect to the router for setup.

    I have been trying to setup Airpot Expresses (both old and new models) for a while now with the Airpot Utility 5.6.1 for Windows without any luck. I have tried this on multiple windows machines, factory reseted the devices if I needed to, but I have not had any success since this software arrived. I see the routers on the Airport Utility UI, I click on it then try to connect to set it up. At this point, it gets stuck with a long progress bar trying to connect to the device without any success. I also have a Macbook Pro, and this device & software has had no trouble setting up the routers. The problem is, we are shipping these small routers out to customers who use Windows machines and it is vital that the user can modify the settings using Airpot Utility. I am at a loss for what to do and if we can't find any solutions, we are going to move on to a different company for the routers we ship out.

    Thanks a lot i followed the instructions for safe mode (i found out that i was pressing the C button after restarting) i did whats written there but the repair couldn't be performed so in addition i needed to re-formate the HD so i erased the volume and then repaired the disk--> quite disk utilities --> start the installation from the installation DVD.
    Thanks really appreciating your help

  • Windows 7 airport utility does not recognize my airport extreme

    My iphone connects to my airport extreme and the airport utility sees it. So does my ipad and my friends laptop.
    When I use wifi or wired connection (to lan port) from Windows 7 laptop to my airport extreme. The airport utility does not "see the extreme.
    I've uninstalled/reinstalled the following:
    - bonjour
    - airport utility
    - itunes.
    I've wasted 3 hours on this.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.....

  • Windows 7 airport utility will not detect time capsule

    Hi, I have a current generation time capsule and I am having problems connecting to my Windows 7 home premium PC. The time capsule connects and works perfectly using my Macbook. My set up is this: DSL router conected to the time capsule via ethernet cable. I can get the time capsule to pick up wireless and connect to my PC, but upon opening the airport utility it will not detect the time capsule at all. I have trolled the internet for about 3 hours trynig various things, none of which have worked. Has anyone had this issue and resolved it?

    The airport utility has nothing whatever to do with disk access.
    It helps having bonjour available in the computer. And the utility should be able to bring up TC setup.. although as noted.. apple have already bypassed windows as it is too old. The new TC requires v6 utility.. the version for windows is 5.
    None of that is relevant to opening the TC hard disk.
    -If this is not the case, can you please advise on how to access the storage on a windows 7 PC
    Did you follow the instructions from my previous post.
    Open your windows explorer and type into the address bar,
    \\TCname or \\TCIPaddress
    Where you replace TCname with the actual name of the TC.. your nice new short SMB compatible name.
    Or use the IP address of the LAN on the TC.. by default 10.0.1.1
    If you did this and it failed, you need to ping the TC by name and by IP address from command window..
    Does the TC respond to pings??
    If so it should be able to open the TC disk.. but you will probably have to use the IP address not the name which is likely illegal.
    I also mentioned the issue of SMB names..
    Please tell me what is the name of your TC as you set it up in the Mac..
    Does it look like this.
    Fred Blog's Airport Time Capsule.
    If so it is too long.. it has spaces and it has an illegal character.. from windows the name should be short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
    Please reset the TC to factory and start again.. you can use the airport utility in the Mac.
    Do not use apple suggested names.. which are WRONG.
    Use names like TCgen5
    And for wireless TCwifi
    Then try again with the windows.
    If you continue to have issues, try using ethernet to the computer from the TC instead of wireless.
    Make sure ipv6 is on and set to link-local or the PC equivalent of that.. I will need to look that up.

  • Apple Software Update always lists AirPort Utility 5.3.1 for Windows

    Hi all.
    My Apple Software Update always lists AirPort Utility 5.3.1 for Windows as an available update. I've checked, and yes - it has been updated successfully. However, the update is still being listed in ASU as being available. Anyone else had this problem?
    Thanks,
    John

    Okay. If you like, we could check to see if the Airport Utility is being correctly recorded in your Windows Installer database.
    If interested in doing that, download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (We're not going to be using it to remove anything just at the moment ... just check on the Installation database more closely.)
    Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
    Now launch the utlity (Start > All programs > Windows Install Clean Up).
    What version number appears next to the Airport utility for you in there?
    For example, I just downloaded and installed the Airport Utility, and in my Installer CleanUp I'm seeing the Airport entry as "(All Users) AirPort \[5.3.1.9]".

  • Airport utility cant find airport extreme 802.11

    Bought a 802.11 today.  Didnt come with a CD and so downloaded Aiport Utility 5.4.1 for windows.  I am using the dang router right now since I am on the internet.  Its amber light is flashing.  The Airport Utility cant find any Apple wireless devices.  Hmm.  Help.  Do I need to download something other than 5.4.1?  When I put in 802.11 utility all I get back is a bunch of patches...Help.
    Coleyc

    Thanks Hackintosh.  I got it going.  It would be enormously helpful if Apple would list the most current software necessary for the Airport Extreme FIRST when you search for downloads.  But that would be too easy.
    Thanks,

  • Airport Extreme unit will not allow Windows devices to access WiFi

    For the last 10 or so days, my Airport Extreme unit will not allow Windows based devices to access WiFi (ASUS laptop and Nokia Windows Phone). Our Apple devices have no issues (MacBook Pro, iPad, iPhone, iPod). Settings were not changed but there may have been a program update? Have tried resetting without success. Today I tried to bypass the problem by creating guest network access - my MacBook Pro can access the guest network, but again, the Windows-based devices can't log in.
    Airport packaging stipulates that this product will service both Apple and PC products. I'm stumped and this is a bit of an issue as my wife's PC has been cut off from the Web as well as my Windows phone. This Airport unit is fairly recent having been bought August or September of last year - so a recent purchase, but to get Apple assistance it appears I'd need to purchase service ticket... (Am using Mountain Lion 10.8.4 and Extreme 5th Gen.)
    Is there an easy solution?

    No software updates available.
    Found a Network Options checkbox which blocked IPv6 connections in Airport Utility. Unchecked it, that didn't change anything, so I've returned it to its original setting. But under Internet Options, Airport is set to allow IPv6 connections. Strange that this unit would have settings that appear to contradict each other.
    There was an access control panel - but to grant control here, I'd need an Apple address which my Mac would have but which the Windows devices would not, so that setting couldn't be used to address this problem.
    So, no solution to the issue that I can see.

  • How do you upload firmware to Airport extreme with the following message: This version of AirPort Utility requires this AirPort Extreme use firmware version 7.3.1 or later. Use AirPort Utility 5.6 to update this base station. I'm using airport utility 6.0

    The airport extreme at my parent's house has not had its firmware update in some time and it keeps dropping the internet connection and needing to be reset.
    I went to update firmware and opened up airport utilities (I'm running airport 6.0 on Mountain Lion, 10.7.4).  Everytime I open the airport utility I get the following message: "
    This version of AirPort Utility requires this AirPort Extreme use firmware version 7.3.1 or later. Use AirPort Utility 5.6 to update this base station. AirPort Utility 5.6 is available at AirPort Service and Support.
    I've followed the link and tried to update firmwares but none are available and the print says that airport utility will look to see if firmware are available and load them as necessary when prompted by user.
    One link said the only way to solve this problem is open up Airport Utility 5.6. I tried to do this, but 5.6 is not supported on Mountain Lion and couldn't be opened up.
    I'm getting the exact same message on my other computer, a Mac Air.
    So basically, can't download new firmware and am stuck with a ****** airport extreme that needs to keep being reset, a factory reset, in order to use the internet, but then continues to give me the same message.
    Thanks!

    See this article for instructions on how to install AirPort Utility 5.6 for Lion on Mountain Lion:

  • Unexpected error when connecting Airport Express A1264 to Airport Utility 6.3.1

    My current wireless setup is and has been the following:  Phone Jack --> DSL modem ---> Airport Express via Ethernet cable
    Off of that connection we've been able to wirelessly run our MacBook, Apple TV and iPhones for several years.
    We recently left for vacation, so I unplugged everything (apparently a huge mistake).  When we returned from vacation, the wireless connection was intermittent and kept being dropped.
    If I connect the Ethernet cable directly from the modem into my MacBook the internet works fine.
    I tried refreshing the Airport Express by unplugging it and cycling it through.  It continued to drop. 
    By opening the Airport Utility, a firmware update was recommended.  However, since that update the Airport Express isn't detected anymore.
    I tried a hard reset and Utility finds the Airport Express under "Other Wifi Devices" but then, at the end of trying to "Join the Airport Express to the Network" I get an "Unexpected Error" message.
    Airport Express Model Number: A1264
    Airport Utility: 6.3.1
    OS: 10.8.5
    I am very frustrated and way out of my league here with understanding how this all works and what I can do to fix it.  If anyone has any suggestions or expertise to offer, I would greatly appreciate it.
    Thank you for your time,
    Amanda

    Hi AMM222,
    "Unexpected Error" message with Mountain Lion and AirPort Utility 6.3.x.  Hopefully this is just a matter of enabling IPv6.
    AirPort base station not seen or "An unexpected error occurred" appears in AirPort Utility 6.3
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4597
    This can happen if IPv6 has been disabled. To enable IPv6 for your network interface:
    Choose Apple menu () > System Preferences, and then click Network.
    If a lock icon appears in the lower-left corner, click it and enter your admin name and password to unlock the pane.
    Click your network service (Wi-Fi or Ethernet) in the list, and then click Advanced.
    Click the TCP/IP tab.
    Choose Link-local only from the Configure IPv6 pop-up menu.
    Click OK.
    Click Apply.
    The AirPort device should now appear in AirPort Utility.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Trying to update airport express by downloading airport utility 5.6 on my macbook pro/lion.  getting error message "version of OS X  on this volume is not supported"  What does it mean?

    Trying to update airport express by downloading Airport Utility 5.6 (which it says I need).  When installing I get an error message, "...version of Mac OSX on this volume is not supported."  What does it mean/what do I do?

    For OS X Lion, you need to download this version directly from Apple Support Downloads.

  • How to install utility or manage Airport extreme base from Win server 2003

    I hope that everybody is doing well.
    I am currently studying Server Administration and Maintenance. I am running Win server 2003 and soon to use Win server 2008, provided by the school several months ago. I am trying to install the utility for my airport extreme base in the server that I have at home to no avail. I will appreciated if somebody can help me. My options are limited I cannot buy another wireless router and I really need to do this for my studies. My server does connect to the base by the Ethernet but not I cannot manage the router in the server a major problem in the class that starts today. I will really appreciate if somebody can help to solve this issue which may be the other viable option because I cannot buy another computer I truly hope there is another option that does not include having to purchase another router I love my airport extreme base ;-D

    In finder, go to - Mac HD, Library, Preferences - drag the folder 'SystemConfiguration' into the trash
    Restart.
    Evidently, there were some corrupt files in there which, in my case, made my AP utility sporadically lose both my airport devices. Trashing that folder and the files within, and restarting automatically creates a new fresh system configurations folder. The AP Utility immediately found my hardware with this fix, but only time will tell if this was root cause and be a long-term fix.
    Best of luck.

  • Has anyone found a way to use the Epson Print Utility with an Airport?

    I have an Epson Photo 2200 connected to the USB port of my Time Capsule. Everything has been working great until recently. Now I cannot use Epson Printer Utility unless I connect the printer directly to my Mac via the USB port. It does not find the printer. Connected directly, Epson Print Utility2 works properly. Epson Print Utility3 does not find the printer, even when connected directly. Reading the various discussion threads, I am not alone and the problem is with many, if not all of the Epson printers. The Utility worked fine at one time but appears to have quit working over the network probably around OS upgrade 10.5.2. In addition, you must use the Gutenprint driver when installing the printer. Epson's gives an error.
    Has anyone found a way to use the Epson Print Utility with an Airport print server with OS 10.5.2 or later?

    Before receiving this reply, I had other problems with the Gutenprint driver. I'm not sure what I did but after playing around for about a day, the Epson driver finally worked while connected through the USB port. The printer then worked with the Airport. The print utility still doesn't work without being directly connected. (It used to work while connected to the Airport. Until recently, I never connected the printer directly to a computer.)

    "This version of AirPort Utility requires this AirPort Extreme use firmware version 7.3.1 or later. Go to AirPort Service and Support for more information." That;s it.
    I guess I can hard reset it, but this seems weird. Any advice would be nice.

  • Airport Extreme won't work with windows computer?

    I can't get airport extreme to work with my other computer which is a windows machine. The windows machine can't find the network address. Sometime it does find an address and appears to be connected, however I cannot connect to the internet with that machine. My Mac does work and connect to the internet. Anybody have any suggestions? Thanks.

    I have a toshiba laptop and it works prefectly with a conceptronic usb card. But you must set up the Base Station only with the default options. I mean that you can not hide the SSID, or make an access control with Airport Extreme. You only set up the default options and it works perfectly. When I try to place an access control or hide the network then it doesn´t work and wait an ip as you say in your post.
    If you want to connect from Windows to the Base Station you need to close your firewall and no other cable into the Airport Extreme, only the cable that you are connecting to access the Base Station. And it will work.
