Cannot install update to Airport Utility

I've been having printing problems via Airport since updating to OS X 10.4.10. You can see my post about that under another thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5183604
I decided to download and install the "AirPort Base Station Update 2007-002 for Mac," which was released 8-13-2007. It contains Airport Utility 5.2.1 updater. When attempting to install, I got an error message saying that I cannot install it because it requires Airport Utility 5.0 to be present.
So...I went to my Utilities folder and discovered that my version of Airport Admin Utility is 4.2.3! My Airport Setup Assistant is also 4.2.3. It says they were created in July of 2006.
I am running OS X 10.4.10, on an iMac that originally shipped in April 2007 with OS X 10.4.8. I would assume that it should have included Airport Admin Utility 5.0 when shipped or from an update.
I have searched the Apple website looking for a copy of Airport Admin Utility 5.0 to download and install so that I can update it to 5.2.1. No luck. I have no idea why I have an old version of these utilities that makes them non-update-able and I cannot seem to find the version I need in order to update it.
Any suggestions? Is there another download?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Thanks, Duane.
I have the round Airport Extreme 802.11 b/g model.
I am now a bit confused because Apple's info on the update says it is for "the AirPort Extreme Base Station with 802.11n, _AirPort Extreme Base Station_ and AirPort Express Base Station."
My round one is the one underlined above, so I thought the update was for my model when reading about it on Apple's website at:

  • Cannot install update for Airport?

    When trying to install update for Airport I keep getting an error message that the installation did  install because of an unexpected error. Tried several times to install with no success. All other updates install okay. Any ideas??

    Maybe a firmware update you have missed. Reboot your airport, your Mac and redownload the update. Repair permissions the airport app may be corrupt.

  • I need an update of Airport Utility.

    I just bout a new Airport Extreme.  When I started to set it up I got this dialogue box:
    <This version of AirPort Utility doesn't support this AirPort wireless device and might improperly configure the device if you continue to use it. Check www.apple.com/support/airport for the latest version of AirPort Utility.>
    First, there is no page for that address.  Where do i find the update?
    Thanks

    If you are using Snow Leopard as per your profile you cannot update the airport utility anyway.. you must have Lion or Mountain Lion OS on the computer. The new utility is then available as part of the updated OS.. or you can download.

  • After the Airport update today, Airport Utility no longer sees my new Extreme or my 2 new Airport Express relay stations (same network); however, my internet is working and all Airports are green?

    After the Airport update today, Airport Utility 6.0 no longer sees my new Extreme or my 2 new Airport Express relay stations (same network); however, my internet is working and all Airports are green?  I'm running Lion on my iMac and updated when Airport Utility prompted me to do so a few hours ago.  After applying the updates is when Airport Utility stopped seeing my routers.  But they are working?  Thoughts?

    Did you remember to completely power cycle the entire network?
    You would want to do this after any update or change to the network.
    If you did not do this yet......things are out of sequence.
    Power off everything on the network.....all devices.....power down order is not important
    Wait a few minutes
    Start the modem first and let it run a minute or two by itself
    Start the next device connected to the modem the same way
    Work your way out on the network starting each device about a minute apart
    Check the network

  • I cannot install updates for iMovie, or iPhoto.

    I cannot install updates for iMovie, or iPhoto. It keeps telling me "You have updates for available for other accounts. To update this application sign into the account you used to purchase it."  The thing is, I am logged into the only Apple ID account that I have.
    What do I need to do to fix this?
    I have a MacBook Pro, with a Retina Display.

    No I did not.  These apps came with the MacBook Pro I recently purchased.  I merely logged into the AppStore and checked for updates.  Updates for iMovie and iPhoto both showed up and I clicked on update all and I got the message "You have updates for available for other accounts. To update this application sign into the account you used to purchase it."

  • Firefox tries to install update then says cannot install update because you have to close another Firefox window, repeats every minute. Doesn't stop.

    Update cannot install, says I must close any other Firefox window. (No other window open ) Cannot install update because another Firedox window is open.Since a recent update occured, You Tube videos flicker and browser favorites flicker. There is a flash card speed adjustment. The Flash Player and Firefox is not in sync.

    Do a clean reinstall:
    * Download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.

  • Installed the latest update, now Airport Utility doesn't see Airport

    I ran the latest update, now my Airport Utility claims to not see my Airport Extreme although I'm still on my network.? Any suggestions before I completely reset the AE to factory settings and start over.

    I purchased a new Airport Extreme last week, I run a home network with a G5 desktop and a G4 Laptop running 10.4.10. It took me a while to set it up as I entered the wrong password for my ISP SBCGlobal. After I finally had it going I had a couple of occasions where Airport Utility did not see Airport but I still had the solid green light on Airport. I am not sure what I did that resolved the problem but I know I did a restart one time and my Airport showed up. I may have also reset my base station and re-entered my info but I no longer have the problem.

  • I cannot install updates on my macbook and itunes no longer works.

    I have a macbook that is 3-4 years old. Recently it stopped booting up at all, however was able to restore using original discs. However, my itunes doesn't work and I cannot install any updates at all. I can download the updates from apple, however, once finished it won't install. The installer utility pops up onthe task bar for about 1 second then disappears. I get no error messages or anything. Same thing for when I try to open itunes...the icon bounces once on the taskbar, but nothing opens. Nothing happens. I think the hard drive may be going bad. Can anybody help me with this?

    If that was the only machine you've installed it on, just throw the disks in the new machine and install away. All of Adobe's CS and CC software licensing allows you to have it installed on two machines.
    If it's older CS software, you would need to install it on the same kind of OS (Mac or PC), but CC software doesn't have that limitation. If you're a CC subscriber, just download the CC Desktop App and install from there no matter which OS you have.
    If you get a "Maximum Activations Reached" error, you'll need to call Adobe to have them clear that issue up if the old computer is completely un-salvageable. If you can still fire it up, just open DW on the old machine and choose Help > Deactivate before installing on the new machine.

  • Cannot see Timecapsule in Airport Utility on Windows XP

    Just purchased a 2T TC and can connect MBP and Macbook air ok.
    I also have a Lenovo laptop with Windows XP that uses TC for internet access that works ok. When I run Airport Utility (v5.5.3) on Windows XP it cannot see the TC. I have Bonjour Printer Services installed as well
    Main reason I want to connect to TC is to access a Canon MP800 MFP printer connected to the TC via USB.
    Appreciate any help or suggestions ( and I know I should upgrade to Windows 7 or Mac OSx however that is not an option at the moment :-).

    Hi I dont think it is a ethernet/wireless issue - wireless on XP laptop works in other networks and in fact can connect to TC router - I am just not seeing the TC when I use Airport on the Windows XP machine.
    Taking a different approach - I have been able to set up a local pinter on the XP laptop using an IP port that points to the USB printer connected to the TC and this works.
    I am still intrigued as to why Airport on XP cannot see the TC however the workaround is fine
    Thanks for the ideas LaPastenague - much appreciated

  • Cannot install updates after updating to leopard

    I apologise for me ignorance in advance, I am having a few problems after installing leopard on my macbook which was previously running tiger.
    I am unable to install any or updates.
    When I am asked for the admin user name and password they are not accepted anymore. It has only happened lately I have been using leopard for about 4 months now.
    I have read the other discussions and have been unable to sort the problem. My level of knowledge is pretty basic and could not follow some of the solutions I have found for similar problems.
    Can anybody help, and please make it as basic as possible..
    thanks

    I also cannot install or update software. I have enabled the root user account to work around this problem. I have copied TEL*'s post where he explains how to enable the root account.
    Hope this helps you.
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1383576&tstart=0
    "Are you familiar with the "root" user on Unix? It's the traditional administrator account. Apple tries to have you get along without it, so it's not activated by default. But if you do enable the root account, then you can use it to authenticate. When I'm presented with the username/password prompt, I replace my username with "root" and then type root's password. That always works.
    To enable root, you would normally use the Directory Utility, which you can find in the Utilities folder. But it will require you to authenticate before it will let you unlock it, which you would need to do before being allowed to use Edit -> Enable Root User. Since you can't authenticate, we're going to have to try a little harder.
    Dig out your Leopard installation DVD. Run the installer, and let it restart the system. Move just far enough into the installation process so that you get a menu bar across the top of the screen. Don't start the installation itself! In one of the menus you will find a selection that will let you enable the root user and give it a password. Afterwards, quit the installation and reboot on your normal disk. You should now be able to use that account to authenticate when prompted.
    I would strongly advise that you don't use the root user for anything else if you are not familiar with what it's all about. I particularly advise you not to log in as that user. I've been using Unix since about 1990, and I can tell you that standard practice is never to log in as root unless you have something special you need to do. Staying logged in as a normal, unprivileged user is much safer. It's too easy to delete or corrupt really important files if you spend much time as root. This is the rationale behind suggestions you'll see from people to do most of your work on a Mac using an account that is not authorized to be an administrator. I haven't followed that advice, and haven't run into trouble. But Apple has tried to make it not as dangerous as being root, which never needs to authenticate to do anything."

  • Having problems updating my Airport Utility

    Right now I am running version 5.5.1.  Every time I use it It asks if I want to upgrade to 5.5.2. When I say yes it updates some Mac pro firmware and not my airport utility.
    It does not upgrade the utility and if I try again it just upgrades the firmware all over again??
    Help!!
    Thanks

    Although I am a Mac user, I do see that sort of panel from time to time, but not usually with the iPod software. With networks there are three parts (simply speaking): our end, Apple's end and the ISP (and what is in between).
    If that downloads all (or almost all) there is the last check back to confirm size/data are OK. It sounds as if that is failing. It may of course be Apple's problem as thousands of others worldwide may be trying to download the file at the same time. For me, this one came down in one go and was installed with no problem: indeed, the changes are working really well.
    I have found (again, I emphasise I am a Mac user) that most of my problems like that are with my ISP, and there are some, but fewer, from Apple's end. My usual method, after three or four frustrating goes like this, is first to restart the router (which will give me a different IP number) and then, if that fails, to go to bed and try the next day, which usually works as the ISP has woken up.
