Can't access AirPort Utility after 6.0 update...

All I get is this... and it won't let me go back to 5.6. What now?
Edit: I just came across Bob Timmons response here > https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3698039
Edit again... I followed Bob's advice to have both versions installed and it worked.

Hi, Alliebean -
Welcome to Apple's Discussions.
...and that the firmware download must be to OS9.
I think you have misunderstood the info on the download page for the firmware updater.
It does not state that the download must be to OS 9, only that it must be installed while the machine is booted to OS 9. 'Downloading' and 'installing' are not at all the same thing.
It is perfectly okay to download the updater in OSX - just be sure to not decompress it nor to open it while the machine is booted to OSX.
Once you have downloaded the firmware update, reboot the machine into OS 9. Then decompress the updater by double-clicking it.
You may need to drop it (the file whose name ends in .smi.bin) onto the icon for Stuffit Expander to complete the decompression of the download. the result should be a file whose nae ends in ".smi".
Note - before dropping it onto Stuffit Expander, double-click Stuffit Expander, and open its Preferences (under the File menu). Select "Disk Images" from the list on the left, then turn off (uncheck) "Mount Disk Images". Quit Stuffit Expander.
The result should be a file whose name ends in ".smi". Double-click that to mount the dsik image it contains - a new icon should appear on the right-hand side of the desktop. Then open that disk image - inside will be a readme (it's a good idea to print that out), and an installer program (G3 Firmware Updater), plus one additional file (which can be ignored). After familiarizing yourself with the contents of the readme, double-click the installer program and follow the instructions.

Can Not Access Airport Utility or USB Disk Over Wireless with WEP Enabled

I have an AirPort Extreme base station, with several Windows XP (SP2) machines connected to it. I am able to access the base station through the AirPort Utility (v5.1) using the machines that are connected to the base station via ethernet cables. However, when I attempt to configure the base station using a wireless connection on my Win XP laptop, it says that no base stations can be found. It will also not connect to the USB hard drive (no hards drives appear in the AirPort Disk Utility.) I AM able to browse the web via the wireless connection however. When I turn off WEP, the laptop is able to see the base station through the AirPort Utility, so I know it has something to do with the security, but I have not been able to narrow the problem down beyond that.
Any suggestions?
Windows XP

Hi,
I'm having a similar problem. I am using the airport extreme with a MacBook and a PC running windows XP, The MacBook is the computer that I used to configure the settings in the airport utility for the base station. I set it up this way with the assistance of an Apple representative. When I view the disk tab in the airport utility, I can see the USB drive connected to the base station. I can also see the USB drive on the desktop of the Mac. On the PC however, I can't seem to locate the USB drive anywhere. I can't see it anywhere in explorer and the drive doesn't show up when I use an application and attempt to open a file. Does this sound similar to your experience and were you able to resolve the problem?

Can't access airport utility in 9.2

Hi! I’d really appreciate some help if anyone has a moment.
I use a G5, 10.4, cable connection, Airport Express. I have a G3, wireless, running 10.2 as a back-up machine. I want to install 10.4 on the G3 but it says I need a firmware update first and that the firmware download must be to OS9. I can’t get an internet connection in OS9 – I get a message saying that the airport utility does not exist or is disabled. What to do?
My problem is compounded by the fact that OS9 looks like a foreign language to me
TIA.

Can't access several websites after last security update

Hello,
After upgrading both my Macbook Air mid 2011 and iMac 2008 (with SSD) both running Mountain Lion 10.8.4 to the last security fix, I can't access from any of those two computers a variety of websites, for example:
www.opennicproject.org
www.gentoo-el.org
www.adslgr.com
These are only three. Almost half of Google's results are blocked. Using the terminal utility I am able to resolv some of them but not actually 'ping' them. I get no ping replies. I can access all these websites from other computers or devices (iPhone/iPad/Ubuntu desktop/WindowsXP laptop) on the same LAN. This problem exists only in the 2 macs which are up-to-date. I am sure that this problem is related to latest security update I did a couple of days ago, to both computers.
I'd like to know if anyone who have all patches installed up to the latest OSX version (mountain lion 10.8.4) has the same issues and can ping/resolv/access these websites.
Note that although I can't access these websites directly using any direct network connection, I can access them using TOR browser bundle for mac, which means that something is going on at a computer level.
I have checked so far:
- Applicationn Apple's firewall is not creating the problem (disabled/enabled all)
- ipfw/PF is not running with any ruleset
- LittleSnitch blocks just a couple of annoying outgoing connections. Nothing there (I disabled/enabeld it, same thing).
- Other computers access the websites/ping them/etc.
- I can access websites using TOR.
NOTE: It's not just 3 websites, it's something like 1 out of 3 DuckDuckGo links.
Ideas and thoughts are welcomed!
Best Regards,
PA

From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
If you wish, you may be able to salvage the malfunctioning extension by uninstalling and reinstalling it. That will revert its settings to the defaults.

Can't see Airport Extreme after Snow Leopard Update

I'm running 10.6.2 with every update, and while I have no trouble connecting to my wifi network on the Airport Extreme (about 2 years old), I can't see it in the Airport Utility program (5.4.2) in order to administrate the hardware. I can see the Express that is also joined to the network set up on the Extreme and administrate that device fine.
Any ideas?
thanks,
-c

Welcome to the discussions!
I think you meant to say that you can't "see" an AirPort Express. (The AirPort Extreme has no audio jacks to connect to a stereo system).
Try temporarily connecting an ethernet cable from your computer to the AirPort Express (AX) and open AirPort Utility to see if that helps locate the AX so you can check the configuration settings on the device. Once you have it adjusted and updated, you can disconnect the ethernet cable.
If the ethernet hookup is not successful after a few tries, you will need to reset the AX back to factory defaults and then reconfigure it again. To do this:
Power down the AirPort Express for a few moments
Hold in the reset button and keep holding it in as you plug the AX back in to power
Release the reset button after 8-10 seconds
If you want to use wireless to reconfigure the AX, AirPort Utility should "see" it when you open the application. If no luck that way, then try the ethernet cable method.

Can't access admin account after new security update

I can not open Airport utility on my iMac after updating to maverick 10.90.4

I can not open Airport utility on my iMac after updating to maverick 10.9.4 . Error Message:[You can’t use this version of the application “AirPort Utility.app” with this version of OS X. You have "Airport Utility.app"5.4.2] It also will not allow me to install "airport Utility 6.3. Does anybody has a fix for this?

Re-run Software Update and see if there is a newer version of Airport Utility. I suspect your router or iMac may be too old to use Airport Utility 6.3 . As a work- around if Software Update does not work then try reading this article and see if the suggested solution help you.

Can't install Airport Utility 5.6 in OSX 10.7.5

I have a 2005 Airport Extreme that I manage using an iMac running Mac OSX 10.7.5. I recently tried to access my airport to check the IP address. Airport Utility could not access the Airport and told me that I needed to install Airport Utility 5.6 to access the Airport. I installed AU 5.6 and tried to access the Airport, but this time was told that this version of AU does not work with Mac OSX 10.7.5. So I downloaded AU 6.2. On this third attempt to access my Airport, I was told that this version of AU does not work with this Airport and I need to install version 5.6. I'm stuck. Does anyone have any suggestions (other than buying a new Airport, that is).
Thanks for the help,
Paul

Make sure you download it from this URL
AirPort Utility 5.6 for Mac OS X Lion
It should install without any difficulty.
AU 5.6.1 is for the latest AirPort Base Stations for systems running Snow Leopard.
NB from the following
AirPort Base Station: How to set up and configure an 802.11g AirPort Extreme Base Station or AirPort Express in OS X Lion
If you are using OS X Lion and wish to set up or configure an older 802.11g AirPort Extreme Base Station, or 802.11g AirPort Express, manually download and install AirPort Utility 5.6. AirPort Utility 5.6 can be used to configure earlier 802.11g AirPort Extreme Base Station, and AirPort Express; it can also be used for 802.11n AirPort base stations.
To obtain and use AirPort Utility 5.6:
Go to http://support.apple.com/downloads/.
Search for AirPort Utility 5.6 and download it.
Allow AirPort Utility 5.6 to install.
Open AirPort Utility from the /Applications/Utilities folder.
Note: If you are configuring or setting up a newer AirPort Base Stations that support 802.11n, you should use AirPort Utility 1.0 for iOS or AirPort Utility 6.0 for OS X Lion, or later.
You can have both AirPort Utility 6.0 and 5.6 in the /Applications/Utilities folder.
AirPort Utility 5.6 will appear in the /Applications/Utility folder as "AirPort Utility 5.6"
AirPort Utility 6.0 will appear as "AirPort Utility"

13" Macbook dies after AirPort Utility 5.5.1 update

First a little background to pre-answer a few questions.
My Macbook has been acting up for the past few weeks, or about the time I updated to 10.6.5. last week i noticed a few additional updates became available and hoped they would resolve the issue. once updated, my Macbook rebooted and crashed immediately throwing up the multilingual screen of death.
I was unable to get past this screen, so i booted up with my retail copy of Snow Leopard 10.6. After running the First Aid tools in Disk Utility, I was still unable to boot. I then ran Drive Genius and it found a problem with the disk, but was unable to fix it.
I then ran SpinRite 6.0 and found two bad sectors near the beginning of the disk. SpinRite was able to repair the damage, however my Macbook was still unable to boot.
I went and purchased a new HD, then loaded it with my retail copy of Snow Leopard 10.6. After the install everything was worked great. I ran the update utility witch required a reboot after the installation of the updates. My Macbook rebooted and crashed immediately again throwing up the multilingual screen of death.
I then reloaded 10.6 as before, then installed each update one by one rebooting after each update was complete. 10.6.5, just fine, Safari, just fine, iTunes, just fine, Java, just fine, AirPort Utility 5.5.1, multilingual screen of death.
I then reloaded, and confirmed that the AirPort Utility 5.5.1 update was the cause for the crash.
Does anyone have the same issue, or found a good way to resolve this issue?
Thanks!

I doubt it.
You are having kernel panics: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1392
Thanks for the input, however i meant that i preformed the same steps and as soon as i rebooted after installing the AirPort Utility 5.5.1 update, the multilingual screen of death is as far as i was able to get.
I've reinstalled 10.6, then updated everything except the AirPort Utility 5.5.1 update, without any trouble.
Thank you again for your input,

Would using a Apple Time Capsules be easier to use as you can use the Airport Utility to set everything up? Would using encryption affect the speed / durability / life span of the drive in a computer or Time Capsule?

Would using a Apple Time Capsules be easier to use as you can use the Airport Utility to set everything up?
OR would there be better programs out there that would do more than Airport Utility on a non Apple drive?
Would using encryption affect the speed / durability / life span of the drive / Fusion drive in a computer or Time Capsule?

1. Time Capsules are the easiest device to setup for Time Machine.
2. Sorry this is unclear. There are a huge number of routers available that have far superior controls than apple routers.. some support Time Machine.. most don't. They negate your question 1. in being difficult to setup. And alot of 3rd party devices that claim Time Machine compatibility are unreliable.
3. Encryption is irrelevant.

Why the apple store is so expensive and why the apple users can't access for free after spending huge amount in apple phone ?

Why the apple store is so expensive and why the apple users can't access for free after spending huge amount in apple phone ?

The Apple store is correct. The warranty is not international, and Apple will not accept or return iPhones shipped from a different country. You need to ship the phone to somebody in Hong Kong who can take it in to Apple for repair, or pay a third party repair shop in the Philippines to fix it.
