How do I access an older AX in a newer vesion of the Airport Utility?

I have had an AX network for over 3 years and have had no problems with it. I just bought a new one to add to my network and I am having all kinds of problems now. Airport utility recognizes both units, but will not allow me to access the older one. It states "An error occured while trying to access the Apple wireless device. Make sure your network conection is valid and try again. Error -6765". Does anyone know what this means?
I did a factory reset of the older unit and I am still having the problem. I thought if I could update the software on the older one that it might work, but it won't give me access to do it.
Please Help!!!!!!!!!

I found another thread from the June 3rd with the same issue. They seam to have a solution, but I am using windows. Does anyone know how to update older AXs on windows computers?

Move the Mountain Lion version of Airport Utility to the Trash. Airport Utility is located in the Utilities folder.
Kappy, you cannot move AirPort Utility in Mountain Lion to the trash in a normal way. Apple will not let you do this.....It is part of the Mountain Lion operating system....and cannot be modified or trashed.

The airport utility cannot find a configured base station. How do I connect?

I just bought a Airport Time Capsule and want to configure it. I plugged-in my broadband modem into the WAN port, but when I started-up the Airport Utility, it states the message ' No configured Airport base stations have been found'. How do I configure my Time Capsule?

It should show as new device in the airport utility..
If not, factory reset it and it will show up..
You do need a Mac with at least Lion and latest airport utility.. with wireless turned on.
Or you can download the airport utility for iOS and run it on your phone or ipad.

How do I access an older version in the App Store?

Does anyone know how do I access an older version of FCP X in the App Store to reinstall on an older computer that won't support this latest version? I recall minimum spec on older version being 2GB RAM (4GB recommended). Now it's 4GB minium (8GB recommended) and I cant install via my Apps Store account. I know upgrading RAM is an option but I am looking to get back the version I had running before I had to wipe & reinstall the laptop this past week as I'd prefer not to have to send money on this older machine (2008 unibody MacBook with 3GB RAM)
Thanks in advance for any help/advice (or offers of cheap but reliable UK based RAM sources)

iBungie,
I hate to say this, but Apple would like you to buy, a new MacBook, or iMac, or new Mac Pro
That way, you can do, what they want you, to do.
I've noticed a change in their business practices, over the last 4 yrs.
I tried to update to FCPX.1, but was told I would have to update the OS to 10.9 from 10.7.
When I updated from 10.6.x to 10.7 I lost the use of 5 3rd party software programs.
I do not want to lose, the use of other programs, by updateing the OS to 10.9.
Been a Mac user for over 25 yrs. Lived in Cupertino before and during the growth of Apple.
Meet both Woz & Jobs, during the late 70's & early 80's.
If you can afford a new system, then do. If not, look at systems from around 2012 that can handle the RAM, plus they will still have optic drives and hard drives. I have clients that want a disk.
Any way good luck.

I upgraded to the new IOS, but lost data and apps. When I try and restore the only backup I see is the one made AFTER the lost data. How can I access an older backup from the cloud?

Why don't you talk to apple and find out if backup exists? That conversation with apple will stop your guessing.

If you didn't save an older version on your computer from a previous download, then there is no way to get one.
You can access the mobile web page through Safari.

How do I access an external hard drive that is plugged into an AirPort Extreme

I have an external hard drive connected to my AirPort Extreme and I wanted to know how to access the photos and videos on it while using an iPhone or iPad while connected to the network. When I go to the airport utility app on my phone or iPad I can see the drive listed under file sharing and disks so I know it's connected. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

You will need an App like Filebrowser to do what you want. More details here:

How can I access my itunes account through my new computer

Your account is just a user name and password. Just sign into your account and use it as you like.
Are you asking about your library (music and other content)?
It will only be where you put it. Have you copied it from your old computer to your new one? If not, then do that.

I have an Ipad, I activated the time capsule with no issues. I added the airport Utility application without issue. However, I do not know how to access the hard drive with either my Windows computer or the Ipad. Does someone know how?

On windows load the airport utility .. latest correct version as possible.. there is no windows 8 but win7 works after a fashion.
Make sure the TC is using SMB compatible names.. short no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
Type the name directly into windows explorer.
\\TCname or \\TCIPaddress
If no luck turn off all the firewalls.. internal windows plus security software plus whatever other gargyoles and other rubbish AV software you have running.
Ensure windows is able to at least ping the TC by IP address and name..
Use the utility in windows to set file sharing to guest account on with full read and write access.. and set workgroup to WORKGROUP.

In between my new iPhone and a old one, I used a replacement iPhone. On the replacement phone there were two backups created. I have a new iPhone now, but only the 2 old backups from my replancement phone. How do I get a older backup on my new phone?

Not sure where you backup to.
ITunes keeps the latest backup only.
Icloud keeps the 3 last backup.

How can I access internet w/iPhone after installing new router

After I installed an Arris DG1670A router I have not been able to access the Internet over Wi Fi with iPhone (iOS8), iPad (iOS7) or Apple TV.
I have an Apple Time Capsule router that seems to be operating correctly. But only after having made many changes using the Network Diagnostics/Assistance feature. Those changes allowed my MacBook Pro (OS X) and my Mac G5 (OS X )
After the install of the Arris modem and resetting it to the original password my Epson Printer is working so I believe the problem is within the iPhone, iPad and Apple TV or the Apple Time Capsule.
I have upgraded IPhone to iOS8, tried restoring it and resetting it's Network settings a number of times without success.
What changes do I need to make and where do I have to make in order to have all of my Apple devices to get on line?

Change of modem always requires a factory reset of the TC. Even if it is showing green it will still not work properly.. Too much is remembered from the previous setup.
So factory reset. No files are lost from the hard disk.
The Factory Reset universal
Unplug your TC/AE. Hold in reset. and power the TC/AE back on.. all without releasing reset and keep holding in for about 10sec. The time is not important.. it is the front LED rapid flashing that indicates you are in factory mode.
Release reset.
If it doesn’t flash rapidly you have released reset at some point and try again.
Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel.. add no more pressure after that.
TC/AE will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.
Run through the setup in airport utility again and use new names.. short with no spaces and pure alphanumeric. Not the names that Apple will recommend.
eg TCgenx as base station name. TCwifi as wireless name.
Use only WPA2 security with password of 10-20 character pure alphanumeric mix of upper and lower case and numbers.
Then you can scan for the new wireless name from the devices.. perhaps after deleting all the old wireless names beforehand.

How do I prevent other Mac users from changing my Airport Extreme Network Name and Password within the Airport Utility?

How do I prevent other Mac users from changing my Airport Extreme Network Name and Password within the Airport Utility? My company is using an Airport Extreme in our office now and I want to prevent other employees from messing with the network/settings. Is there a way to place a password on the settings to allow only the admin to access the network name and password?

Hi - you have will have to change the device passwords on all the base stations and then don't give them to anyone except the administrators and tell them not to save them on their computers that use the older versions of the Airport Utility - for the newer versions like the mobile apps, as soon as you enter the pasword it is saved and is visible in the advanced pane along with the network password - so if anyone gets a hold of your iPad or iPhone, they can edit the whole network - I have this same issue with my networks in the office and it is inconvenient but doable - I hope this helps

How do I configure the Airport utility to allow more than one rule per port?

How do I configure the Airport Utility (AU) to allow more than one rule per port?
I am on a home network, with broadband cable modem. I have my airport extreme connected to the broadband modem. I have 2 servers in my home that need to be accessed remotely from time (SSH), and they also serve data for an iphone app, so I'm using a variety of protocols. The problem I'm running into is that AU seems to only allow one rule per protocol, so if I go to add another address for access on a specific port that is being used by one of my servers, AU tells me "The Port Mapping Entry Already Exists".
I need to be able to allow SSH on both of my servers, for instance. Am I missing something? Is this doable with AU?
Thanks for any insight.
Khalid

The Port Mapping "rules" on the AirPorts will allow you to: 1. Map a single port to a single IP address OR 2) Map multiple ports to a single IP address.
What you won't be able to do is map a single or multiple ports to multiple IP addresses.

How to use the "identify" feature in new 6.3.1 airport utility?

how to use the "identify" feature in new 6.3.1 airport utility?
so you can find the basestations in larger networks?

There is a workaround, which is to use Airport Utility 5.6.
I can confirm that 5.6 will run on 10.8.4 Mountain Lion, it will recognize the new 2013 Airport Extreme Base Station (A1521) running firmware 7.7.1, and it will give you access to view the device's Log & Statistics, DHCP Clients, and Profiles.
Four caveats:
1) The easiest way to install it is to download the app itself, not an installer or through the App Store. There is a page here where you can download the app: http://coreyjmahler.com/2013/03/08/airport-utility-5-6-on-os-x-v10-8-mountain-li on/ This way, you still have both versions, Airport Utility 6.x.x and 5.6.
2) When you launch 5.6, you'll get a message saying a newer version is available and asking if you want to update. Click Cancel to proceed into the utility.
3) When you click the Manual Setup button in 5.6, you'll get a warning dialog that "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." You can click Continue to get into the utility without issue.
4) You should probably only use 5.6 to view the additional status details. I have not tried to modify and save any AEBS settings using 5.6. There are other discussions here in the forums indicating that attempting to save settings via 5.6 that are no longer available in 6.3.1 will not actually save the settings to the AEBS even if both utilities indicate that the settings are changed. See https://discussions.apple.com/message/22677993#22677993
So, even though you can't use it to modify settings no longer available in Airport Utility 6.3.1, using Airport Utility 5.6 to view DHCP clients, Logs and Statistics is very useful for troubleshooting network issues.
PS - There are two ways to get to the DHCP Clients list, neither of which is obvious The first is to go to the Airport pane -> Summary tab and click on the "Wireless Clients:" label in the Summary display. All of the labels from "Wireless Mode:" down on the Summary display operate as links to view/edit the corresponding info/settings, which is also not obvious at first glance. Also not obvious, clicking on "Wireless Clients:" actually brings up a new pane with three tabs: Logs, Wireless Clients, and DHCP Clients. You can also get to the same pane by going to the Advanced pane and clicking on the Logs and Statistics button.
I hope this is helpful information. Took me a while to find out how to do this.
