Did software update [3134] break Airport?

Following the July 12 Software Update[3134] several Airport networks I manage broke. Here's short list of observations:
Extended Wi-Fi networks failed.
Airport base stations viewed in Aiport Utility 6.3 appeared and disappeared from the network like blinking Christmas tree lights.
Wirelessly connected OS X, iOS and Windows 7 devices connected to the network and were similarly dropped as base stations appeared and disappeared from the network diagram
Ethernet connected devices seemed less affected 
Our solution: Create a new Wi-Fi network name for all Airport base stations downstream of the AEBS router. Left the AEBS router's network name as is.
Can't explain why this fix worked. But it did and it still does.

Sorry, I don't know what is causing this, but I am having this issue as well. I repaired persmissions, then ran the update, and promptly had keychain issues, iSync issues, .MAC syncing issues, and failure to recognize my Airport Extreme base. All of this on a 3-day old MBP 2.33 dual core, 2mb ram, 120 gb HD.
Cripes, I purchase a new Apple and I have a headache in the first week and I have deadlines to meet. Looks like I'l have to work with my old G4 PowerBook until Apple's propeller heads fix the bugs.

    Hi ..
    Reset the device:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
    You will have to re enter your Wi-Fi password.
    No data is lsot due to a reset.
    If nothing above has helped, try here >  iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections

  • HT204308 Did software update today and now iPhoto is not working.  I have OS X Yosemite 10.10.3

    Did software update today and now IPhoto is not working.  Operating system is OS X Yosemite 10.10.3

    What OS X version did you upgrade from? What iPhoto version did you have before upgrading? You cannot upgrade a version of iPhoto from a pre-10.10.2 OS X version installation. You needed iPhoto 9.6.1.

  • Apple Software Update always lists AirPort Utility 5.3.1 for Windows

    Hi all.
    My Apple Software Update always lists AirPort Utility 5.3.1 for Windows as an available update. I've checked, and yes - it has been updated successfully. However, the update is still being listed in ASU as being available. Anyone else had this problem?
    Thanks,
    John

    Okay. If you like, we could check to see if the Airport Utility is being correctly recorded in your Windows Installer database.
    If interested in doing that, download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (We're not going to be using it to remove anything just at the moment ... just check on the Installation database more closely.)
    Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
    Now launch the utlity (Start > All programs > Windows Install Clean Up).
    What version number appears next to the Airport utility for you in there?
    For example, I just downloaded and installed the Airport Utility, and in my Installer CleanUp I'm seeing the Airport entry as "(All Users) AirPort \[5.3.1.9]".

  • After software Update (2006-07), airport can not connect to the router

    Hi,
    I installed the software update 2006-07. Afterwards the airport extreme can not connect to the router anymore (NETGEAR). I use a WEP key, but even if I type the WEP Key, the airport does not succeed to the router anymore... I called Apple Care and they wanted that I install the firmware restoration. But even I didn't succeed to install the firmware restoration. On the firmware restoration web page (http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/firmwarerestorationcd12.html) is written that I have to turn on the computer and continue holding down the power button until the LED blinks rapidly followed immediately by a successive series of blinks (3 quick blinks, 3 slow blinks, 3 quick blinks). But after the LED blinks, there is not the successive series of blinks...
    I know there is 2 questions in one message, but could you please help?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Just did software update, now mail won't open!!

    I just ran a software update and now may mail application won't open. These are the five updates that I installed:
    Backup 3.1.1
    iPhoto 6.0.6
    Airport Base Station 5.1
    iTunes 7.2
    Mac OSX Update Combined (PowerPC) 10.4.10
    I don't think I needed to install that last one, about the Power PC....Anyone know if that is enough to keep my Mail App. from openenig? I can still check my e-mail via .Mac, just not through my Mail Appliacation.

    Did you download the correct Combo for PPC, since it
    appears you do not have an Intel Mac?
    If the correct Combo version, then I think you should
    run Disk Repair from the original Tiger install disk
    to check out your hard drive.
    How much free disk space do you have on your hard
    drive, or if partitioned, on the boot partition?
    Ernie
    Ernie,
    thanks for the suggestions. I'm not quite the Mac expert I'd like to be, so bear with me please. How do I know if I downloaded "the correct Combo for PPC, since it appears you do not have an Intel Mac?" Wouldn't my computer automatically download the correct one? How can I check if it's the right one? ALSO,
    How do I "run Disk Repair from the original Tiger install disk to check out your hard drive"? Do I need to insert the original startup disk again, or can I do it without it?
    When doing info on my mac, it says I only have 6.1 GB left available. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!!!!

  • Is anybody else having issues with Software Update Server offering Airport Utility 6.1?

    Running 10.7.3. Everything else is hunky dorry, but no matter what I do, I can't get this update to show up to clients.
    Settings are set to:
    NOT automatically copy and updates from Apple (but this update shows the blue circle reflecting it's copied)
    NOT automatically enabled copied updates (but this update has the checkbox enabled)
    DELETE outdated software updates (I had previosly been struggling with Choose Version, but this seems to obviate the need for that)
    I've stopped swupd, removed the update, updated the catalog, re-enabled. The catalog updated, the file re-downloaded, but still.... won't show up to clients.
    Is this update (Airport Utility 6.1) working for anyone else? Could it be a global issue related to this update, or is this just another instance of swupd flakiness?

    You can still use iDVD even though Apple doesn't support it. It still works like a champ.
    A lot has changed in the new iMovie. Some of the changes are good, but some not so much. My biggest problem is that the video quality of shared projects is INFERIOR to the old iMovie. So for now, I've gone back to the old version. Hopefully Apple will issue an update that will fix this.

  • I did software update, now java in Safari doesn't work.

    I ran software update, now Java in Safari and Firefox doesn't work. How do I fix it?

    I already tried that.
    I am running OS 10.6.8.
    I did a "normal" software update (under the Apple icon).. didn't update the OS to a higher level, it's still 10.6.8. But now certain websites tell me that Java is missing or not working. When I go to the Java site, they say that you can only download the newest Java for OS 7 or higher... that Java is automatically part of OS 6 and should have automatically updated when I do a Mac software update.
    Java used to work. Now that I've "updated" my Mac software, it doesn't work. And there's no way to download and install Java (according to them).
    It's a never ending circle with no solution.

  • After Software Update 2007-004 airport card stopped working after wakeup

    Hi,
    I have a powerbook G4 - DVI running 10.3.9. After I have installed Software Update 2007-003, when my computer goes to sleep and then wakes up, airport card stops working. I had to open the back of the computer, unplug and plug the airport card, then it starts working again. But next time the computer goes to sleep, it stops working again.
    Does anyone have a similar problem? Any work arounds?
    Thanks in advance.

    I installed the most recent update(or the software updater did) and after it was installed I lost all ability to connect to the wireless network in my Fraternity house.

  • Latest Apple Software Update causes 'No Airport card installed' error

    Hi,
    I accepted the Software Update released 05Apr08 and rebooted. Following the reboot my MacBook Air now says 'no airport card installed' and I can't get the MacBook to 're-recognize' the card.
    I have used the airport card to access many different wireless networks prior to this update with no issues.
    All advice accepted gratefully.
    Thanks.

    I'm having the same problem with a brand new Macbook Air I picked up on Tuesday. When I got it home I updated all software to latest, and didn't have any issues...
    Sometime on Thursday, however, after waking from sleep the airport card reported it is off, and no amount of attempting to turn it on again would successfully do so. After a restart, the computer reported no Airport card is installed at all. I had to shut down the computer and turn it back on before the airport card was recognized (and work) again. This is now the case every time the computer is put to sleep. Occasionally after I do this, the network will be incredibly slow, something like dialup speeds.
    First I tried resetting the PMU (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=14449), but that didn't work. Then I reset the PRAM and NVRAM (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=2238), which worked for only about a day. Now here I am again with the same issue, and an appointment for the genius bar at 5pm tonight.
