Do I Need To Back-Up This File? Airport Utility Problem Too....

Hi all....
I need to start by thanking those in this particular forum for all of your help. My Time Capsule was unable to complete it's initial back-up - I made 4 calls and 3 hours on the phone with Apple Care and they were not able to figure out my Time Capsule problem.
Scanning the forums I saw several suggestions, one was to exclude some files so you can zone in on the problem. First file I tried - worked! It was labeled Previous System - I believe this is the file for my old operating system (Tiger). Is it worth scanning this file to find the problem - or do I even need this file backed up?
Also, recently I have been having trouble with my airport utility. Whenever I select Manual Setup - the program freezes and I get the spinning wheel. My network is working fine - but I can't get my other cpu (PC) to print from the network printer. When I try to print - it just comes up as an error with no details. I figured it was a network setting - but like I said, when I click on the manual set-up - I just get the spinning wheel and I have to force quit. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Nick

Lost DHCP list in Airport Utility

After MacBook Pro to iMac synchronization I lost the TC configuration in Airport Utility. When open the Airport Utility the field DHCP in "Internet configuration" in empty and I cannot put any value because it is read only.
Do you have an idea which file contain this information where I put the value manually?
Thanks

I don't see such a field in my version of AirPort Utility. Which toolbar item and which tab item do you select to see that?

There's no file where you can put Time Capsule configuration information. You have to use AirPort Utility.

How can I add a client wireless usig Airport Utility 6.0?

In menu airport of firmware 6.0 there is not window "Add a wireless client". I'm using Mac Os lion with Airport Utility6.0, how can I add a client wireless with this firmware)?

If you have a dual band AirPort Extreme, you can add another to "extend" both bands of your network to provide more wireless coverage.
The "best" way to do this is to connect the "remote" access point back to your main AirPort Extreme using an Ethernet connection. This preserves bandwidth on the network better than any other method...and...you can locate the "remote" Extreme exactly in the area where more coverage is needed. Instructions for thhis are here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4260
You might be able to connect using wireless only, but this is always "Iffy".
In general, the Extreme would need to be located approximately half the distance from your main router to the general area that needs more coverage. But, walls, ceilings and other obstructions usually come into play, requiring some experimentation. Instructions are here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4259
If you elect to try wireless, you really won't know if things will work until you try. Recommend that you have a "Plan B" if wireless does not work for your purpose.

How can I get a list of all DCHP clients of my Airport Extreme?

I'm trying to troubleshoot network problems, and I can't figure out how to get a list of DHCP clients. In Airport Utility 6.3.1, it lists the wireless clients when I click on the airport icon, but it doesn't list the wired clients. Running around the house looking at the network settings of every wired device isn't a lot of run.
I saw posts that said to download Airport Utility 5.6.6, but the installer gives an error (I'm running OSX 10.7.5), so I can't get that to run.
Speaking of trying to troubleshoot problems, I don't see any logs accessible from Airport Utility. How should I get at those?
Thanks.

I was not able to install 5.6
You might be using Mavericks. Apple shut the door on 5.6 workarounds in Mavericks.
I can understand the need to keep things simple, but SOME level of advanced information (like wired client addresses) should be available on an advanced screen. Extremely frustrating.
You might want to tell Apple this.

HT3500 To add a wireless adapter to my Airport Extreme network using WPS, documentation recommends adding it under "Add wireless clients" in Airport Utility but there's no such an item anywhere in v6

I am trying to connect an Iogear Wifi adapter from my home entertainment center to my Airport Extreme home network (secured with personal WPA) using WPS. Apple's support literature says to do this through Airport Utility (v.6) choosing Manual Setup from Base Station Menu and Add Wireless Client. After hours of searching and fiddling I cannot find "Manual setup" or "Add Wireless Client" in the Airport Utility (v.6). HELP. andy

Those instructions are for Airport Utility v5.5.3 or v5.6. As a matter of fact, Airport Utility 6.0 does NOT have that options. So assuming you have Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4, you have to download and install Airport Utility 5.6 for Mac OS X Lion. Then follow those simple instructions you have.

I have two airport express base stations that I want to configure on two separate sets of speakers in two separate rooms. How do I do this? Airport Utility only seems to scan one express at a time.

I am currently running a PowerPC G5 imac and have a wired broadband modem via ethernet with airport wireless network turned on, on the G5. I have the computer in the bedroom and have an airport express wired into a mixer that connects to my stereo. I have recently bought another airport express base station to connect to a pair of active monitors in the kitchen. When I try to scan these on Airport Utility version 5.42 I am only managing to scan one base unit at a time. I have plugged them in separately and reset them, they both have firmware updates, however the utility will only read one at once. I have read that you can link base stations to the same WDS. I would like to know how to go about doing this if it will only scan one airport express at a time. I have looked it up on the net and not found anything that is a simple fix. Can anyone help? In Apple Support it says that multiple Base Stations can be used. I would like to get both Apple Airport Express units to be able play airtunes separately or at the same time depending where I am in my flat. I do not need different music in each room. I would like to stream music from the computer to multiple rooms in the flat without having to continually unplug and configure the Base Stations. Has anyone come across such a challenge? Any help would be welcome.

How do I configure the AX to connect to the hub's wireless network? It will only scan one base station Airport Express at a time in the Airport Utility. I think what I am trying to do is use the hub as a router to the two AX's. Is there a specific way to set this up?
To set up the AX to join a wireless network as a "Wireless Client," using the AirPort Utility, either connect to the AX's wireless network or temporarily connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then, try these settings:
Launch the AirPort Utility.
Select the AX.
If not already connected to the AX's wireless network, go ahead and switch to it when prompted.
AirPort Utility > Select the AX > Manual Setup > AirPort > Wireless
Wireless Mode: Join a wireless network
Network Name: <type in the network name/SSID of the wireless network that you want to join or select it from the pop-up menu>
Wireless Security: None OR, if you are using security on your wireless network:
Wireless Security: <Select the appropriate level of security for the existing wireless network: WPA/WPA2 Personal | WPA2 Personal>
Password: <enter your wireless network security password>
Verify Password: <re-enter the same security password>
Click Update to write the new settings to the AX.

How do I determine what device the IP address is in Airport Utility ?

The utility only shows IP addresses, how do I figure out what devices each address is? (Other than going to every device and looking at it's unique WiFi IP address).
Is there a way to assign user names or IDs so that the utility will display them?

I'M referring to the list of wireless client IDs in Airport utility.

Airport Utility cannot find all 802.11n gigabit sase stations

hello everyone,
airport utility (5.2.1, "Airport-Dienstprogramm" in german does not seem to find all my base stations (6 stations alltogether, IPs assigned ok via DHCP, pingable, usable, green light, no errors, manageable by Airport Utility via manual IP entry) in the list to the left of the main screen. Mostly they are not shown at all, sometimes (or after I manually managed one) they are in the list until Airport Utility is restarted.
SNMP is on, I tried a new cummunity string but reverted back to "public" just to make sure.
Is there a way to manually fill the list and then "save" that list somehow so that I can do a quick check on the status?
Thanks in advance,
best regards,
Christian.

Are you using the latest version (5.5.2) of the AirPort Utility to access the new 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn)? Your tagline has it that you are running OS X 10.4.6. You would need at least 10.5.7 to run the utility. I assume that you are running the latest utility on another device ... correct?
When having difficulties accessing the AirPort thru the AirPort Utility, try the following, in order checking accessibility with the utility after each step:
o Check the local connection. If you are trying to access the AirPort wirelessly, make sure that you are connected to its wireless network before running the AirPort Utility to administer it. If you are still unable to access it with the utility, temporarily connect your computer directly using an Ethernet cable to one of the base station's LAN ports.
o Power cycle the base station. Remove the power adapter's plug from the power outlet, and then, wait 15 seconds before plugging it back in.
o Perform a "factory default" reset on the base station.

Airport Utility Disables Wireless Connection - No Connectivity Error

In setting up an AX to stream iTunes to my stereo over my existing wireless network (Netgear access point), it appears that the Airport Utility has somehow disabled wireless access for my laptop, as I now get a "limited or no connectivity" error message and cannot connect to the internet.
Airport Utility detected the AX, I set a password for it, directed it to join my wireless network, selected WPA2 encryption and entered the 26-character key to the network. AU then said the AX couldn't join the network, and wireless connectivity for the whole PC disappeared and I haven't been able to get it back.
It appears that Airport Utility somehow altered some of the network settings on my PC but I can't figure out what. I spent hours trying to figure this out last night and am at a loss. Help!

Welcome to the discussion area, mrdowntown!
When you are setting up the AirPort Express, you are using a default network provided by the Express with a name like +Apple Network xxxxxx+. You need to be on this network to be able to configure the device. Your computer was on this network.
Chances are, your PC may still be trying to access that network, and not the network that you normally use. See if that might be the case.
WPA2 Security would be used on the AirPort Express if that is exactly the setting the Netgear router is using. If the Netgear is using WPA type encryption, try the WPA/WPA Personal setting on the AirPort Express.
Unless the security settings match up exactly, the Express will not be able to join the Netgear wireless network correctly. See if you can find the settings page for the Netgear to see exactly what type of security it is using.
You'll need to "hard reset" the Express by holding in the reset button until you see the amber light begin to flash more quickly. Then try to reconfigure the Express. Unfortunately, if you don't have the right settings entered on the Express, you'll have to start all over again.

Airport utility accidentally selected forget this device, and want to recover

I am running Mountain Lion and using the AirPort Utility 6.1 to manage a Time Capsule. I accidentally selected "forget this device". How can I recover from this?

If the device is still hooked up to your network, power off all other devices on the network in any order that you wish.
Wait a few minutes
Start the modem first and let it run a minute by itself
Start the main router next that is connected to the modem that same way
Keep starting devices one at a time until everything is powered back up.
Now check AirPort Utility to see if the device has reappeared.
If the device does not appear, you will need to "start from scratch" by performing a Factory Default Reset and then reconfiguring it again.

HT5022 Instructions for Airport Utility 5.6 don't work: "version of Mac OS X is not supported"

Via Software Update, I just downloaded & installed the latest version 6.1 of Airport Utility. When I tried to use it I discovered it recognizes but doesn't support my Airport Expresses (odd in itself).
I was told to install version 5.6 to manage these older devices. So I obediently tried to install it (actually it's v. 5.6.1).
But it won't install! The Installer tells me:
"AirPort Utility can't be installed on this disk. The version of Mac OS X on this volume is not supported."
The system requirements are listed as "AirPort Utility requires Mac OS X v10.5.7, v10.5.8, v10.6 or later." I have 10.7.4.
What the heck is going on here????

Try this one until they fix it:
AirPort Utility 5.6 for Lion: AirPort Utility 5.6.
If that does not work:
AirPort Utility for Leopard, Snow Leopard: AirPort Utility 5.5.3.
Both will run fine on OS X 10.7.4 but since I already have them installed, I do not know if the installer will object. Both will administer all Express models except for the new dual band model.

How do I get list of client IP Addresses using new Airport Utility v6.3?

I have purchased and Airport Time Capsule 3TB (newest model). Previous models were still compatible with Airport Utility 5.6 and I could use "manual" mode to get a list of client IP addresses attached to the device. The new Airport Time Capsule is only compatible with Airport Utility 6.3 and I cannot figure out how to get a list of client IP addresses with this new model. Does anyone know how to do this?

Try a ping broadcast - for example if your network were 192.168.1.xxx (netmask of 255.255.255.0) try this from a Termnal.app window (located in /Applications/Utilities):
ping 192.168.1.255
If you have a different type netmask, you need to put 255's where the 0's are in your netmask.
Everyone on the local network (the 192.168.1.xxx network) should reply that is up and running unless you have them setup to not respond to pings (the WAN port on your TC should not reply cause it's in a different network) and you have your list of clients on the network. If you setup the TC to dedicate a range of addresses for WiFi clients you can even identify which of them are wired and which are wireless.
good luck.

How can I see a complete list of wired and wireless clients on an Airport Extreme?

As per the title, I cannot find a way in Airport Utility to see the wired clients, only the wireless ones. It's driving me nuts! Is there any other way of doing this via the Mac if the utility doesnt have this function?
Thanks in advance.

Apple unfortunately has dropped a number of features and functions in Lion and Mountain Lion within the AirPort Utility application.
If you are using the Lion operating system, download and install AirPort Utility 5.6 for Mac OS X Lion to get those features back.
If you are using Mountain Lion, Apple's software will not allow you to install AirPort Utility 5.6 in the normal way....but you can always use a utility like Pacifist to manually extract the application from the downloand package and install it in the Utilities folder on your Mac.
Then AirPort Utility 5.6 will run just fine on a Mountain Lion machine. See this article for more details:
