Cannot configure AirPort Base Station (Graphite).

Greetings,
let me describe my problem - I can connect to my Base station's network without problem. But when I run AirPort Admin Utility, it never even see the station. Airport setup assistant sees it, but what ever you did with this appl, it only ends with some error message - couldn't connect etc.
In total despair I went to my old iMac where is 10.4.10. I haven't run software update there for some time. iMac can both connect to network and configure the station with Airport admin utility...
Im out of ideas... But I need to be able to configure station from my iBook as well.
Thanks for any ideas.

I might have wrote the type of station wrong... Anyway, for all cases, here is the link where you can see picture of my station model, which should clear all doubts.

  • Cannot reset Airport Base Station (Graphite...)

    Pls can anyone advise on next step...
    I need to reconfigure my OLD graphite base station as I bought this from someone who +_has forgotten his password_+. I have followed step by step of the Apple Support instruction...
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2439
    But unfortunately everytime I try to reconfigure (taking care to follow every step)...
    I FAIL... as there is an error and cannot complete.
    I have walked through every step both automatic and manual and cannot enter a new configuration.
    ALSO I am doing this connected via the ETHERNET IP 192.42.249.15 setting as instructed (this maybe why I cannot succeed!) BUT...
    I cannot connect at all via the wireless as the temporary stated password 'PUBLIC" does not appear to allow me access.
    Help from anyone would be most appreciated. thanks
    James

    If I understand correctly, you are saying that you have been able to complete all of steps 1 through 8 listed in article HT2439, but you cannot reconfigure the base station according to the last step, step 9.
    The article's reference in step 9 to AirPort Setup Assistant is out of date. AirPort Setup Assistant version 4.1 or later will not work with the Graphite, whereas any earlier version of AirPort Setup Assistant will not work with Mac OS X 10.4 or later. Therefore, you must use AirPort Admin Utility to reconfigure the base station. (The best version to use on a computer running Mac OS X 10.5 is AirPort Admin Utility for Graphite and Snow 4.2.5.)
    The second paragraph under "Additional Information" in the article, pertaining to the use of AirPort Admin Utility to reconfigure the base station, also contains wording that is out of date. The gist of it is that it is advising you to disconnect the Ethernet connection to the computer, make AirPort active, join the Graphite's wireless network (whose name should have reverted to a series of numbers, with no WEP password), and re-launch AirPort Admin Utility (or Re-scan, if it is already launched). The base station password, "public" -- note: lower case -- is needed not to join the wireless network but for the utility to configure the base station.
    Alternatively, it should be possible to configure the base station via Ethernet. Just re-launch AirPort Admin Utility. I believe that the computer's manual IP address setting of 192.42.249.15 should still work so long as the Graphite is not obtaining a WAN IP address from another source (i.e., so long as it is disconnected from the Internet and any other routers), but you could instead change the computer's Ethernet TCP/IP setting to "Using DHCP" before re-launching the utility.

  • My TP-LINK TD-W8970 router cannot connect with my iMac even though my iPhone 5, iPad 3, W7 laptop and LG smart TV can. I get the message "No configured AirPort base stations have been found". Any ideas please?

    Open the Network pane in System Preferences. If there's a closed padlock icon in the lower left corner, click it and enter your administrator login password when prompted.
    At the bottom of the service list on the left is a popup menu with a gear icon. From that menu, select
              Set Service Order...
    A sheet will drop down showing all listed services. Drag the one that you want to use to connect to the Internet to the top of the list. Click OK to close the sheet, then close the preference pane and confirm when prompted to save the change.

  • Airport base station graphite

    I'm having trouble connecting my airport base station graphite to my macbook. My macbook is running 10.6.8 and I downloaded the airport admin utility 4.2.5 for graphite but when I open it, it says that it doesn't support this version of OSX. I tried enabling opening by rosetta but i still got the error message. What else can i download so I can configure my airport?

    Sorry, but there is no version of the older AirPort Utility that support these earlier 802.11b AirPorts that will run on Snow Leopard (or Lion).
    You will need to borrow a Mac with Leopard (or earlier).

  • "No configured AirPort base stations have been found."  I can see the content of the TimeCapsule's drive in finder and Time Machine but it no longer is making backups. Ideas?

    Bought new TimeCapsule March 2013. Worked fine. Now get "No configured AirPort base stations have been found."  I can see the content of the TimeCapsule's drive in finder and Time Machine but it no longer is making backups. Ideas?

    Make sure that you have AirPort Utility 6.3.1 installed on your Mac.
    AirPort Utility 6.3.1 for Mac - Support - Apple
    Then, power off the entire network...all devices...in any order that you want
    Wait a minute, then start the modem first and let it run a full minute
    Start the next device connected to the modem, which may be your Time Capsule and let it run a minute
    Keep starting devices one at a time the same way until the entire network is back up
    See if AirPort Utility can "see" the Time Capsule now.
    If yes, try another backup. If you encounter an error message, post back with the exact message.

  • No configured Airport Base Stations Have Been found-but we are connected?

    Okay,
    Here is an odd one...actiontec DSL Modem/Router with Airport Extreme. I applied the update, and was having problems with my external hard drive being recognized, so I reset everything-modem and airport. Now that I have, when I launch the Airport Utility, I get a message that no configured airport base stations have been found. Weird thing is I am connected, transfering files, etc. I just cant access my airport to set up my printer and time machine capsule...any suggestions?

    My Mac was working perfectly fine till about a week ago.It would not connect to the internet or anything.I  swapped my computer out clean and still nothing so i gave up since I am new to the Mac. The next morning i turned it on and it worked perfectly fine. That night it started disconnecting me from the web every 5-10 mins but the funny thing was it kept saying i was connected to the internet. I have to keep turning off and back on my Wi-fi for it to work right & even doing that does not solve the problem. I went to my time machine to try to system restore my computer to an earlier date and it does not work.The airport utility comes up and says no configured airport base stations have been found.Airport utility will continue searching. I have no clue what Airport Utility even is when i got my computer furnished threw the college I was going threw at the time everything was already set up on it. The Wi-fi connected instantly. I have a MacBook Pro (OSX) with this software OS Lion. I don't have the money to get it professionally fixed so trying fix this issue on my own. Would a factory reset solve the problem?.

  • No configured airport base stations have been found

    I just purchased a new Time Capsule and tried to set it up according to the included instructions. After the initial set up Airport Utility give the following error message: "No configured AirPort base stations have been found. The only way I can connect to the Internet is wirelessly with a Verizon MiFi wireless modem. Could this be the problem? If so, is there a way to configure the TimeCapsule as a backup only drive?

    I think.. you will get nowhere fast using v6 utility.. you must use the older utility.. 5.6.
    Apple have so dumbed down v6 as to make it useless.
    There are plenty of posts about how to install 5.6 under ML. I don't think it is that hard.
    Download the 5.6 dmg.. open the pkg.. then extract the files from the pkg.
    There is a free utility to do this.. as well as shareware Pacifist.
    http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
    Simply load the files manually and then run it..
    I am about to try it myself but confess it has not yet happened.
    Make sure the TC is different IP range to the main router..
    Set static IP in the computer and it must work. By all the TCP/IP I have ever learned it has to be available to the computer.. but I will test myself.

  • HT1218 my time machine no longer appears in airport utility "No configured AirPort base stations have been found."

    my time machine no longer appears in airport utility "No configured AirPort base stations have been found."

    Basic troubleshooting: start with a "hard reset" - hold its reset button depressed continuously, about five seconds, until your TC's LED flashes rapidly. After a moment or two it will flash amber, slowly. You will then need to reconfigure it using AirPort Utility.
    This does not affect your Time Machine backups.
    If its LED remains illuminated amber without blinking after several minutes, it may have a problem you will be unable to fix. In that event, try another "hard reset".

  • What can I do when saw this? "No configured AirPort base stations have been found"

    What can I do when I saw this? "No configured AirPort base stations have been found"
    My Time Machine is not working. And is not connected to my computer.

    Did you update the firmware.. this seems to happen a lot.
    Do a full factory reset and start over.. this is easier with it pulled from the network.. plugged into a computer by ethernet.. then do the reset and when you finish put it back in the network again.

  • AirPort Utility 6.3.2 doesn't see older AirPort Base Station

    I have an old AirPort Base Station (2001 model, Dual Ethernet, "Snow", actually not "Graphite", though apparently that's the correct category here), which was previously configured with my MacBook Pro running MAC OS X 10.6.8. I've just started it up, with the DSL modem connected to it, and I'm able to connect to it (and get Internet) from my new MacBook Pro running 10.9.4 just fine. However, the latest AirPort Utility v.6.3.2 doesn't see it, says "No configured AirPort base stations have been found. AirPort Utility will continue searching." – although its window does show a green button next to the word Internet, showing (I assume) that there's an Internet connection. Does anybody know how to configure an old APBS like this from 10.9.4? AirPort Utility v.5.6.1 apparently can't be used with 10.9; is there a version that can, and will see this older AirPort Base Station?

    Does anybody know how to configure an old APBS like this from 10.9.4?
    Not in any way that Apple would support, or that we could discuss on this forum.
    Not recommending that you try a solution from the Internet using an "unknown" author to "override" security settings on your Mac, but that would be the only way to possibly get AirPort Utility 5.6.1 to run on 10.9.4.

  • HT1178 No config Airport base station in airport utility

    Having problems configuring Airport Time Capsule. AirPort Utility displaying No configured AirPort base stations found.
    Worked initially but no longer backing up.

    Try just a simple restart of the TC or restart of the network.. in order .. modem.. wait 2min.. TC.. wait 2min . then the client computer.. see if the TC reappears. if not you will need to do a hard or factory reset and start over. It is common enough on Mavericks to lose its marbles.. a good reboot will usually remind of it of where everything is.
    Make sure ipv6 is set to link-local for whatever network client is being used.. that means setup in the computer.
    And I do recommend using short names on the TC.. not apple names..
    Keep names to <20characters.. <10 even better.
    No spaces.. and pure alphanumeric.

  • Cannot configure Airport Extreme Base Station

    I have a base station in my classroom. It was plugged in 4 years ago stock, and it has run fine as is all this time. I started to get annoyed about temporary signal drops that occurred from time to time. I was told that updating the firmware would limit these (but not eliminate them)......and now my problem. I tried both airport utilities to no avail. Both give me error messages ("an error occurred reading the configuration") when every I try to set it up. I did a hard reset, but that did not alleviate the problem. I know the default password is "public".....not sure what to do from here. Any suggestions?
    The base station is running firmware 5.0.3....which is quite old. My laptop is a G3 iBook running 10.48.
    Interestingly the router still works pretty well.....I am using it right now to get on my school network...but I would like to put a password on it and update the firmware.
    Thanx
    Shawn

    Shawn, I'm having the same problem, exactly. I had to disconnect my networked HD for a while (renovations) and when I plugged it back in, I couldn't see the ethernet port. When I went to Airport Admin. Utility, I couldn't configure the airport base station.
    I went through the "cold start" procedures and used "public" but to no avail. I still have access to the 'net but am concerned that my security has defaulted to -0-.
    I am going to try to direct connect tonight when I get home, but if you have luck, would you please post your answer? I will do the same tonight if I figure it out.
    I've been pulling my hair out for a week trying to figure this out!!
    Good luck.
    Thanks,
    Dave

  • HT1218 After a recent iTunes update attempt iTunes no longer functions and the airport extreme base station is not accessable on our computer.  We still have wifi but cannot access the base station software.

    After a recent iTunes update attempt iTunes no longer functions and the airport extreme base station is not accessable on our computer.  We still have wifi but cannot access the base station software.

    Thanks for the reply. I appreciate the response. I tried that approach this evening and it didn't work for me. (Technically it worked for me, when I was hardwired into my base station, but would not work for me wirelessly, which is my main issue.)
    Again, using the approach you recommended works only if I have my ethernet cable attached to the LAN port so my computer is communicating directly to the base station through the hard wire. I am able to scan for my base station and make setting adjustments normally this way too.
    As soon as I disconnect from the LAN port and try to go wireless is where I run into problems. The Base Station's wireless network I created is available to choose in the top right corner of the monitor with all of the other available wireless devices/networks -- but the network I created does not have access to the internet. I am also unable to configure my Base Station wirelessly. When my Airport Utility tries to scan for the Base Station and Network, it cannot find any Apple Wireless Device. It's like the Wireless Network in my base station is not sending out a signal.
    Is there a way to resolve this issue?

  • HT4262 I WAS TRYING TO SET UP AIRPORT EXSPRESS 802.11 AND IT KEEPS TELLING ME THAT IT CANNOT ATHENTICATE THE BASE STATION

    i was trying to set up a brand new airport express and it keeps telling me that it cannot authenticate the base station.
    so what do i do ?

    Hello curtcain,
    Congratulations on your new AirPort Express!  It sounds like you are trying to extend your wireless network with your new AirPort Express, but you continue to get the error that your base station cannot be authenticated. 
    I recommend following the steps in the article below for the issue you described:

  • How to configure old AirPort Base Stations with current Mac

    Hi everyone,
    I noticed that you can't use the current AirPort Utility to configure old AirPort Base Stations. I'm talking about the pre-Extreme models that only had 802.11b (Graphite and Snow). It won't find them and even entering their IP manually won't let you enter the configuration.
    Copying over the older AirPort Admin Utility from a 10.3 system won't let you configure them either, the app itself runs fine though. You need to use an older PPC Mac with OS 9 or max OS X 10.3 if I recall correctly.
    Is there a way to do it directly from a current Intel Mac running Leopard?
    Thanks
