How can i still configure an old (1st) generation airport with current software?

D/All,
Im trying to configure my first generation airport but it doesnt work with the current software. It gives all sorts of error messages, any suggestion how I can still configure it? Have already done a full reset, connected it to the network but nothing worked.
Thnks!

You will need to use AirPort Utility 5.x to configure the older AirPort.
That would mean using.....or borrowing for 10-15 minutes.......a Mac running the Leopard or Snow Leopard operating system, or a PC.

  • Airport extreme software will not install on vista, how can i still configure the router?

    airport extreme software will not install on vista, how can i still configure the router?  Trying to help someone with vista get an airpot extreme configured.  10.0.1.1 does not work, the software will not install correctly on their vista machine.  How can I get into the base tation and lock it down?

    Hi - Vista can be tricky - I need more info to see if I can be of some help - first, is the Vista machine a desktop or a laptop and is it fully up to date with Windows Update (sp2 or higher)? - next, are you trying to install Airport Utility version 5.5.3 which is the correct one for Vista? - and finally, what do you mean "it will not install" - what kind of error messages or evidence are you getting?

    To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the other ID.  When you delete the account it will prompt you about what to do with the iCloud data.  If you need to migrate it and merge it with the data in the new account choose Keep on My iDevice; then choose Merge to upload the data and merge it with the new account.  If your data is already in the other account and you don't need to migrate it to the other account, choose Delete from My iDevice.

  • 1st generation AirPort Express - no software

    I'm still using a 1st generation AirPort Express ... there's nothing wrong with it, it's still doing its job just as good as when it was new.
    But there's a big problem.
    The latest AirPort Utility (6.x) doesn't support this device, so I can't go in to re-configure it, even though it's still connecting everything fine.
    I can't even download the last utility that supported the device either, because it's not supported under my latest OS, which is Yosemite.
    (AirPort Utility 5.6 for Mac OS X Lion)
    Any advice, besides buying a new AirPort? It's crazy to have to buy a new basestation just because it's a few years old and the only utility on your computer can't simply talk to it.

    Why would you say that?
    Because it is correct.
    The model number is A1084, which is 1st generation
    No, it is not, according to Apple.  A 1st Generation AirPort Express is model number A1264. Apple began to use the Generation naming with the introduction of wireless "n" products in 2008.
    Hopefully, the screenshot to illustrate that will appear below, but Apple is having problems with screenshots on the forums displaying correctly. If he screenshot does not display, let us know and I will post some links for you.
    A1084 is a much older wireless "b/g" version of the Express, which was sold long before Apple began to use Generation naming on the AirPorts.
    The A1084 was introduced in June 2004 and discontinued in March 2006.
    I have AirPort Utility 6.3.4, and when I click on my A1084 base station, a message pops up that says "This version of AirPort Utility doesn't support this base station."
    Correct.  AirPort Utility 6.3.x introduced in Lion, and carried into Mountain Lion, Mavericks and now Yosemite does NOT support the older "b/g" versions of the Apple Airport routers.
    If you want to be able to administer the older 10 year old AirPort that you have, I gave you the information needed above. It is repeated again here........
    You can use, or borrow,  a Mac running Leopard (10.5.x), Snow Leopard (10.6.x) or a PC with AirPort Utility installed on the computer to administer the old AirPort Express.
    Yes, the model I have is at least 8 years old. It's about 10, but it still works perfectly fine ...
    That is great. You can still use it if you follow the instructions that I provided above.
    But, any version of AirPort Utility 6.x cannot be used to administer the A1084 version.

  • HT2463 How can I move photos from my 1st generation Apple TV back to iPhoto on my computer

    Sure.  Merely dock your Iphone to your computer.  Then, open up Itunes, your phone should show up there.  Click on it and go to the photo section and do as you please.

  • Changed Email address how can I still use my old downloads

    I changed email addresses and computers. I had a bunch of songs loaded to an old computer I have copied to my new one. Each time I try to play them I get a message wanting me to grant the new machine permissions, I do this but they still will not play??????
    Thanks.

    - Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
    - To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.

    i have a lead running from the base sation to my computer and its still says the same thing, hope this makes sense and someones able to help
    many thanks

    Three things must match up exactly in order for the AirPort Express to join a wireless network
    1) The Express must use the exact same wireless network name
    2) The Express must use the exact same wireless network password
    3) The Express must use the exact same wireless security settings
    Most users get 1) and 2) correct, but do not know or fail to provide the Express with the correct wireless security settings to join the network. The result is the same error message that you are receiving now.
    Basically, this error is saying that the Express stored the settings that you provided for it correctly, but those settings were not the correct settings to join the network.
    Do you know the exact type of wireless security that your wireless router is using?

  • HT4623 Updating an iPod touch (1st generation) to the current IOS?

    Can I update my iPod touch (1st generation) to the current IOS?
    Or at least to 4.3 so I can run Minecraft on it?

    To update
    iTunes 10 for Windows: Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
    A 1G iPod can go to iOS 3.1.3
    A 2G to 4.2.1. Requires iTunes version 10.X. That requires a Mac with OSX 10.5.8 or later. With 1OSX 10.4.11 you can only go to iTunes 9.X which gets you as high as iOS 4.1
    A 3G to 5.1.1  Requires iTunes version 10.5 or later
    A 4G to 6  Requires iTunes version 10.7 or later. That requires a Mac with OSX 10.6.8 or later

  • How can I remove my very old Apple ID from my Iphone 4S as I have created other apple IDs.The old one is still staying on my mobile but that email doesn't exist anymore. I cant rest my mobile as this email address is staying my icloud setting.

    Q:-
    How can I remove my very old Apple ID from my Iphone 4S. The old ID is still staying on my mobile but that email doesn't exist anymore. I cant rest my mobile as everytime i tried it asks ID password which I don't remember.

    Hello mushysun,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    If you did not sign out of your Apple ID on your iPhone before creating a new one, then you will need to sign back in with your previous Apple ID and then sign out.  If you do not remember your password and do not have access to the email account, then you can reset your password by using the security questions.

    Have a great weekend,

  • How can I get rid of old books that I have deleted from my device? It still shows up as purchased books on "Icloud".

    How can I get rid of old books that I have deleted from my device but still shows up as "purchased books" on "Icloud". I don't want to see some of these books at all. I can sort by one that are PDFs and ones currently on device, but it still gives option to show those old titles. Does anyone know how to erase your "Icloud" history, please?

    Nooooooo! lol... If I want to download again I will, I don't want an electronic trail. Plus when I have Ibooks open, sometimes I will accidently hit the item and it will immediatly try to download it. The problem with that is that its "Time magazines Best Photos of 2012" etc and it locks up my IPAD cuz of sheer size of the book. So I would like it gone from the history. Isn't there a way to clear the history?

  • How can i transfer picture from old iPod to my computer

    how can i transfer picture from old iPod to my computer

    Are these pictures on your iPod no longer stored on your PC or in a backup somewhere?  If so, you'll need the help of third party software to assist you with the task of extracting the photos from your iPod to your PC.  Keep in mind that these synced photos are no longer in their full resolution, but instead are scaled down thumbnails of the original.
    If you stored these photos in full resolution, see this article for instructions on copying them from your iPod back to your PC.
    Use Disk Mode to copy photos from iPod
    Once the photos are on your PC again, you can configure them to sync to your iPhone.
