Can't find AirPort 4.2 for Mac OS X 10.4.x software for Intel Mac Book

I have an Intel Mac Book and recently picked up a graphite AirPort on eBay without software. I installed the Installer updaters and Mac OSX 1.4.9 Combo update. I can not install AirPort software 2.0 - the error says I can not install on this machine. I went on the Apple site to find AirPort 4.2 for Mac OS X 10.4.x and can not locate the download. Any ideas?

Hi Duane!
Thank you for welcoming me and yur information. I now see that I have the software, but I'm still having issues. I can't get the airport to see the internet. It knows there is an internet connection in the Network Assistant, but fails on the diagnostic. Further, after a restart, the Admin Utility does not list the IP address I the window.
I wondered if this was because of the software version update becausse it said it fixes an issue with Comcast (my ISP).
I wanted to use the Admin Utility to configure the Airport from scratch, but how can I if the base station is not in the list?

So it sounds like you are trying to burn a DVD with photos on it so the photos can be either transferred to or displayed on a Windows PC, is that correct?
For the purposes of this I am going to assume you are using iPhoto '11.
Gather the photos you want to burn to DVD in one album in iPhoto. This is not absolutely necessary but it sure makes things easier for me.
Select that album, then go to the File menu and select Export...
In the dialog that shows up, select the File Export tab. Select the setting you want to use for export. Click the Export button.
Another dialog will show up. Set the location to Desktop and click the New Folder button. Name the folder something nice and descriptive and click the Create button.
Click the OK button. Quit iPhoto as the rest of this work will be done in the Finder.
You will now have a folder on your desktop with that nice descriptive name. Find it and select it. Go to the File menu and from it select Burn "Descriptive folder name" to Disc...
Insert a blank DVD when prompted.
Let the finder complete the work and eject the disc afterwards.
That's it. Best of luck.

Can't find airport to turn it on, lost wifi and all addresses after a software upgrade

i can't find airport to turn it on, lost wifi and all ip addresses after a software upgrade on my iMac

1. Does the WiFi icon in preferences have a yellow triangle with an exclamation point?
2. Do you have physical access to the Airport router?
3. WiFi through local cable company - does that mean you have a Cable company device which also has WiFi built-in AND also have an Airport router?
4. Under About This Mac -> More Info -> System Report -> Network, do you see any wifi adapters? Usually a grey wifi icon in the menu bar implies that it has been turned off. If you Turn Wifi On in System Preferences -> Network -> WiFi, does the menu bar icon show you any change in the wifi icon?

I am confused about something. How do I read a book on my MacBook Pro? I can't find the iBook app anywhere, which is what I use on my iPad. The book I want to read is in my iTunes but I can't click on it. My iBook library does not show up in iTunes.

I am confused about something. How do I read a book on my MacBook Pro? I can't find the iBook app anywhere, which is what I use on my iPad. The book I want to read is in my iTunes but I can't click on it. Some of my iBooks show up in my iTunes but they are "grayed" out. The only books that respond in iTunes are audiobooks and that's not what I'm looking for. Is this a stupid question?

Nevermind - I answered my own question, which is I CAN"T READ ANY BOOKS I purchased in iBooks on my MacBook Pro. If I want to read on my mac I have to use Kindle or Nook. Which means any book I've already purchased through iBooks has to be read on my iPad. Kind of a drag because there are times when it's more convenient for me to read while I'm sitting with my Mac.

My Mac can't find airport express in AirPort Utility - I'm stuck!

I've been fiddling around with this thing for three hours and can't get it to work. I only want to use my airport express to wirelessly play music from my laptop to my speakers on my desk. I dot not want it affiliated with the internet in any way.
I plugged my speakers in to the white square apple thing, then plugged it into the wall. The next step is to open Airport Utility to set it up. My airport utility can not find any devices. It says "AirPort Utility was unable to find and Apple wireless devices. Please make sure the Apple wireless device you want to set up is plugged in and in range of your computer, and then click rescan to try again."
I've checked everything. I am currently about four feet away from the white AirPort plug-in thing, so distance is not it. I'm sure my airport can view all available networks, my AirPort is working fine for my internet (the internet is not affiliated with AirPort Express).
I think maybe this is defective? All help I can find starts off saying to open AirPort Utility, select the new device and, ....
I am running on Mac OS X Version 10.4.11, and I am sure my AirPort device is up to date.
Help?

Yes, I told it to allow wireless networks. It's having a hard time joining my internet network - is that the one I'm supposed to be telling it to join?
I don't want to hook this up to my internet becuase the internet is the other room and I don't watn to mess with the internet settings my Windows roommate already has. I want the speakers to play in the bedroom, which is a good 30 feet away from the living room where the internet base is.
Should i create a new network and ask it to join in on that? but if i do that, will I still get internet?
As it stands right now my airport turns off when i unplug the ethernet, and nothing can be found - even though I told it to enable wireless.
This is so **** confusing. It does seem to work fine when the ethernet thing is in it though... but if I'm going to plug the ethernet chord to it, I'd rather get a long speaker chord and plug my speakers in to my laptop from across the room and save myself the $100 for this airport thign.

My Mac can't find Airport!

I've done a factory reset on my Airport Express, after which my computer can find it. I only want to use it for Airtunes and printing, so I set it up to connect with my Livebox (Orange internet connection: UK). It then restarts after which my computer can't find it. Help!

I just fixed it over the phone with apple.
Here is what we did:
I plugged it to my computer using an ethernet cable.
I then reset it (using a paperclip and holding it down for about 8 seconds till it flashes amber).
It showed up in airport utility and I followed the steps to use it as airtunes
I had it join my wireless network. (**If the drop down menu already has your wireless network selected then deselect it and select it again so that the security information automatically pops up.**)
Then I continued through the menu and it worked fine.
You can then unplug it from the ethernet and move it to wherever you want it in the house.
I hope this helps!

Time Capsule can't find AirPort

Hi there,
I have just got an airport to back up my Mac OS 10.6.8 and have successfully connected it to the WiFi, and it is seen through ststem preferences but I want to use it as a back up tool too and when I go through Time Machine it can't find the device - any help would be great!

It's A1470, air port time capsule 802.11 ac.
Bit worried that it's not safe or time machine as that is the exact reason I bought it and was recommended it in the apple store?!
That is fine.. it is just you posted airport, not Time Capsule.. and what most people mean by airport is the extreme.
Next problem..
The TC must not be properly setup. Indeed it is not possible to setup an AC model TC or AE using 10.6.8 OS so please tell us how you set it up.
I have just got an airport to back up my Mac OS 10.6.8 and have successfully connected it to the WiFi
How?? The 5.6 utility in SL cannot do it.
Are you using an iphone/ipad with the latest airport utility.
Once setup the older OS should be able to use it.. but it cannot do the setup.
Let me suggest you give us more details.
A few screenshots helps no end.
What are you seeing in the finder and airport utility?
Does the TC show up in Finder?
You said you can see it in system preferences.. sorry but I am not sure how.. please screenshot that as well.
As a setup method.. if you really have joined the TC to the existing wifi (unless it is an apple router) that is the worst possible seutp.
Please plug the TC WAN port into the main router LAN port by ethernet.
Reset the TC to factory and redo the setup.
Universal Factory Reset.. any model TC or AE.
Unplug your TC/AE from power or turn off at the power point.
Hold in reset. and power the TC/AE back on.. all without releasing reset and keep holding in for about 10sec. (this is often difficult without a 2nd person or a 3rd arm).
Release it when the status light flashes rapidly. If it doesn’t flash rapidly you have missed it and try again.
Note..
Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel.. add no more pressure after that.
TC/AE will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations of the router.
No files are deleted on the hard disk in a TC.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.

Airport Utility can't find Airport Express after setting up as repeater station

I wanted to extend my 2Wire-based wireless network into a specific room that never seems to be able to pick up the signal, and found the following instructions on how to do so on Apple's website:
(note: these instructions were submitted by another user in response to a question as to whether or not an Airport Express could be used as a repeater station for non-Airport Extreme-based wireless networks - linked here http://store.apple.com/us/question/answers/product/MB321LL/A?pqid=QY4CAJJC7KFTTD KYH72DKPXF4CAUA9D4J).
Yes, you can do this two ways: If you can connect your airport express to your router via ethernet, then you will perform the following steps in the airport utility:
1. Select your airport express.
2. Select manual set up.
3. Under Wireless, select Participate in a WDS network
4. Enter your network name, radio mode, channel, and security
5. Under WDS, select WDS main
6. Check wireless clients
7. Add the MAC address of the router
8. Click update
That's it
Now, if you connect your airport express to your router wirelessly, all the steps are the same except for step 5. In this step, select WDS remote instead. Everything else is the same.
I followed those instructions exactly with my Airport Express and, after restarting, the amber light is flashing on and off continuously and the Airport Utility can't find the Airport Extreme base station. What the heck went wrong here?

Update:
I restarted the laptop I used to set up the AX as well as pushing the "reset" button on the AX (first time - pressed it for 1 second, Second Time - pressed and held for 15 seconds then let go). The Utility still isn't recognizing the base station.
I also upgraded the Utility's software to 5.5.3 right before I went through these steps, and now it's not recognizing the base station. ARGH.
Update #2: I plugged the AX into my laptop with an ethernet cable and the utility STILL can't detect it. This is ridiculous.
Update #3: Not 30 seconds after update #2, it FOUND the **** AX >.< I'm updating the firmware, but I still can't get it to work as a repeater station if I have to plug it into my laptop all the time JUST to get the Utility to recognize that yes, Virginia, there IS an Airport Extreme.

Can't find airport

I have been using this airport express for some time and when we changed to a airport supplied by our internet company. I wanted to go to it and use it for itunes and printer but i plugged it in and went to configure it in Airport Utility but it couldn't find the device. I searched thru the forum and found something that helped i plugged it into my computer through ethernet and it came up i was setting it up and hit update it reset but when i tried to find it again it said something about not being able to find the device that was being configure and now i can't find it again. Ever now and again it comes up on the airport selection at the top of my mac but i can't join. Any suggestions?

If you do a hard reset of the airport express it will come up with a default network. you need to either connect to it via an ethernet cable, or join that default wireless network to set it up to be part of your existing network.

Can't find airport but all other computers do?

This is very similiar to a previous posting but no one has answered or given a solution.
Louis Jan, "I cannot access the Internet & the base station is working!", 07:31pm Aug 6, 2005 CDT
I have a wireless airport network in my home and I have three Mac's. One is a G4 PowerMac connected directly to the basestation and it works great. A G4 Laptop and is connected wireless and works great all the time. I have a iMac G4 that uses an airport card and it "use" to work all the time and now won't connect to the airport network.
I have reset just about everything and it is set up exactly like my laptop. I can sometimes restart it and get it will work for about 5-10 minutes and then it loses connection or it won't connect right from the start. I have also noticed that when this happens the system starts getting "clunky" and if I move my mouse down to the doc, the icons move slow or kind of clunky as well as opening folders.
The signal is great all the time and it shows everything should be in order but when I open Safari or any browser, I get a "server can not be found" message.
Help. I have reinstalled the system software, permissions, etc. Nothing seems to work.

Your problems are not at all similar to the discussion you quoted. In that discussion, the problem was with the Base Station (despite the choice of discussion title). On the other hand, you have a Base Station that not only works but also has a known working wireless interface, since another Mac can connect to it wirelessly without difficulty.
First thing to try - open up the problematic iMac and (a) pull out and reseat the Airport card as well as (b) pull out and reseat (FULLY) the Airport antenna cable connection to the card.
If this fails to solve the problem, my suspicion would be that you have a marginally defective Airport card inside this iMac. The only way to test it is to substitute it with a known working Airport card.

LapTop can't find Airport Express to play iTunes.

I’ve been using Airport Express 4.1.01 (installed Nov ’04)for the sole purpose of wirelessly playing iTunes thru stereo system which is in a different part of the house from my Dynalink Modem-Router. The Toshiba L/T I had been using was clogged and painfully slow to use so was cleaned up by using the recovery disk and it is now used by another family member but is not using AE.
I‘ve bought a new Toshiba L/T with XP Prof OS. Both L/Ts have wireless connection to the internet using a Dynalink Router/Modem (R/M)and share a printer – not via AE.
My system is similar to that on page 18 except L/Tops are connected wirelessly to R/M and the stero and AE in a different room from the R/M. I don’t expect to listen to stereo and browse net at same time.
When I attempted to install AE I got an error message “A later version of iTunes is already installed on this machine. Installation cannot continue”. Current iTunes is V7. However, when I clicked OK on the error message the AE Introduction Window with the 3 icons (Internet, Music and Printer) appeared and over the top of the AE window another error message. “An error occurred while trying to use the wireless internet system” and the Next button on the AE window was dimmed. Once I clicked OK on error window the Next button cleared and clicking it I chose the “Set up a new AE” option and next the “Create a new wireless net work network” option.
Despite the error messages both Airport Admin Utility and Airport Express Assistance are installed and scanning and rescanning give negative results. The Admin Utility opens the Base Station Chooser window with the left panel blank and the Base Station Information panel also blank. The Configure button disabled. I’ve done both sorts of resets and still nothing even though I’m doing this in the same room barely 2 metres from the AE and in the same position where everything had worker OK on my previous L/T.
I’ve even tried connecting my L/T to AE with an Ethernet cable and opened the AE Admin Utility. Still nothing and NO Tabs for either AirPort or Music Settings. Instead there are 3 Menu items – File, Base Station and Help as well as two buttons – Other and Rescan. I don’t have the information for the information asked by pressing Other.
When I attempted to update AE after downloading Airport V5.0.14 I was got the message “This update requires Airport V 5.0 to be installed. I can’t find V 5.0 to download if that is in fact the answer to my problems.
PLEASE! I desperately need help. Can’t remember this hassle when I set it up 2.5 yrs ago.

This seems to be a common problem on several threads lately. Everything is configured correctly.
The airport status is green. But iTunes does not show the speaker choice button.
It was working fine, but at some recent point it stopped and I can't get it back.
I have the same issue with two different Airport Express units.

I can't find airport express in wireless list

Can't find ariport express in the wirelist
light showing is not green.
Need help on resolving these issues.

I suggest that you start by performing a "factory default" reset on the AirPort Express. This will get the Express back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration. In this configuration, the Express will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a Network Name of something like: Apple Network NNNNNN
Once the Express has reset, connect your computer to its wireless network, and then, try to access it with the AirPort Utility. You can then configure it as required for your networking goals.

Where can I find airport card or airport extreme card

I want to make my g4 wireless where can I find these cards to do so? Any recommendations to purchase them? Thanks in advance

Instead of using either of the AirPort cards, you may want to consider using a USB wireless adapter instead. The advantage of this would be that thise adapters support the newer 802.11n networks. FWIW, I use one with my G4 Quicksilver Power Mac and it works great. There are a number of vendors out there that sell these. One example would be Other World Computing (OWC).
