Can't install AirPort Express Software
Help!
Trying to install AirPort Express Software in my computer. It's an iMac 1.25 GHz PowerPC G4. It was installed with OS X 10.3 with updates through 10.3.9. I recently installed Leopard 10.5 and it is now updated to version 10.5.1. But, when I try to install the software for my new AirPort Express, it says "you cannot install AirPort on this volume. The version of Mac OS X on this volume is not supported." Huh? AirPort express says it can be used by computers working on OS X 10.4 or later. What might be my problem? THANKS!

Duane,
Thank you for your speedy response!!!!
When I open the AirPort Utility.app, a window opens called AirPort Utility, the twirly/stopwatch icon goes into motion next to the words"Discovering Base Stations." After this happens for some seconds, these words appear...
"AirPort Utility was unable to find any AirPort base stations. Please make sure the AirPort base station you want to set up is plugged in and in range of your computer, and then click rescan to try again."
My express is plugged in five feet from my computer. What to do....?
Many thanks!
Terry

How can i install Airport Express A 1264 on os x 10.9.2
Hello chawich
All you should need is Airport Utility that is located in the Utilities folder that sits in the Application folder. If you have an iOS device, you can also set it up with that device with Airport Utility or in Wi-Fi section in Settings.
AirPort Utility software and firmware downloads

How can I install Photo Expressions software?
How can I install Photo Expressions software? I tried to drag and drop all items on to the Applications folder as I've done with other software, but this did not seem to work.
Those are definitely windows files. Is it possible that the CD/DVD has a different folder for a Mac version of the program? If I have found the correct web site (Individual Software) there is no mention of a Mac version.

Can't install AirPort Express, and unit is flashing amber
Hi,
I've just bought an Airport Express unit, with the aim of playing iTunes remotely (I have a separate wireless connection to the net). I have two problems:
1) When I try to install the Airport Express software provided, the setup tells me that I have a later version of iTunes and cannot install Airport Express. Does that mean iTunes v7.0 (which I am using) already contains Airport Express?
2)My Airport Express unit is flashing amber. Resetting the unit makes no difference. I suspect this is due to the problem of 1) but am really stuck on how to progress!
many thanks in advance!

Can't install AirPort Express Assistant because I already have Utilities
Just having some annoying trouble here.
I have a MacBook Pro that came installed with AirPort Utilities, and it has the latest version.
I bought an AirPort Express so I could stream music to my speakers with AirTunes. I'm not hooking an ethernet cable to the airport, because my wireless already works fine in my house.
I need to install AirPort Express Assistant in order to set up the network between the express and my computer, but I can't even use the CD it came with because once I get to the part to select where I want to save it, it says "this computer already has a more recent version of AirPort on it etc..." However, I only have Utilities, not the assistant.
With the Express plugged in, I go to Utilities and it doesn't pick anything up, which makes sense. So basically, what can I do?
I tried deleting Utilities off my computer so I could just install the whole CD but even that did nothing.
Thanks.Your version of Snow Leopard already had the latest version of AirPort Utility 5.5.1, which is the version that you should use to configure the AirPort Express.
The disk which came with the AirPort Express was produced some time ago and the version of AirPort Utility on the disk is out of date.
Not sure what you mean by Assistant. There is a guided setup process in AirPort Utility that is initiated when you click the Continue button. That may be what you are thinking of.
You made a mistake by deleting AirPort Utility 5.5.1 from your computer. You should download AirPort Utility 5.5.1 and install it so that you can configure your AirPort Express.

Have a new intel imac running OS X 10.5.2. I've established a wireless network using built-in wireless cards to my powerbook G4 running OS x 10.3.9. This network runs fine, but I'm trying to extend the range of the network using an airport express to make a wireless distribution system (WDS). When I plug the airport express in it flashes amber as expected, but when I run the airport utility on the iMac the airport express is not found. What's wrong?
If I follow correctly - you are using your iMac to create a wireless network? In other words, you are not using an Airport Base Station but instead you are using your iMac to do this job, correct?
If so, you cannot create a WDS. Main and remote base stations in a WDS must be Airport Extreme Base Stations (any model) or Airport Express devices. You cannot use a Mac as one of the base stations. -
Does SL install airport express software
or do I either have to d/l from apple or use the disc that came with it and use software update?
thanksThanks.
So I take it became part of leopard, cause I had to install it when I bought the airport with my Tiger system. -
I can't install Airport Express on my Mac. It says "you cannot install Airport on this volume. The Version of Mac OSX on this volume is not supported" The Airport disc says 10.4 or higher is required and I'm running 10.5.6.
Mac OS X 10.5.6 includes the software for it. You don't need to and shouldn't install anything.

How can I download airport extreme software on new windows 8 computer?
How can I download airport express software on new Win8 computer? keep getting error message saying that I need Win7 or newer.
AirPort Express needs AirPort Utility 5.6.1 for Windows.
AirPort Utility 5.6.1 for Windows - Support - Apple
If that won't run on Windows 8, then you best call Apple Support.....or borrow an iPhone or iPad for a few minutes to set up the Express. -
AIRPORT EXPRESS SOFTWARE WONT INSTALL
Hello All,
Anyone know a reason why I can't install the Airport Express software on my Mac Book Pro?
When I place the disk in the drive the icon comes up on the desktop. I open the icon and click on the installer to begin the installation process. Once, I get through all the legal mumbo jumbo and to the destination drive screen, the installer tells me that the version of OS X I have isn't supported. Is 10.5.1 compatible with the software? If not, where I can I get a copy of "compatible" software?
Thanks
Calvincalgenjon, Welcome to the discussion area!
Don't worry about that software. Instead use "AirPort Utility" which you will find in the /Applications/Utilities directory. -
I have a Mac 10.6.8. Just installed Airport Express. I can't see any base stations. I did a hard reset on the Airport Express, turned off all devices, turned them back on. I see plenty of Airport networks in the neighborhood. How can I tell if I have a Mac problem or an Airport Express problem? Airport Express blinks Amber.
Obviously, I'm still using ethernet to be able to reply to this.
Alright, use the same ethernet cable to plug directly into the airport express. This will FORCE the airport utility to now see it regardless of weak signals & interference. You can set it up that way.
BTW, what is the original intent on the express? -
I have installed airport express on my Window 7 and had problem to find the airport express.
I solved the problem by turning off my AVG firewall and the airport tool found the airport express and it went steady green.
I then turned on the AVG firewall again and it continues ok.
But when I turn off and restarted my laptop I have to follow the same procedure.
The AVG firewall is set to All Allowed for the airport express.
Is there anybody out there that can give assistance to solve this problem?Hi,
I solved the problem myself by updating the Wi-fi driver.
Now it works perfect. -
I can not install the Express after the Extreme tha AirPort tool is of no help. It does not display any base station.
What is the exact model of the AirPort Express that you are trying to install? Which version of the AirPort Utility are you using? What is the operating system and version, and on what device, are you running the AirPort Utility on?
