HT1218 How do I get Airport Utility (6.3.2) to see my Apple Extreme ("g"; firmware 5.7)?

Airport Utility (6.3.2) running OS10 (10.9.2) does not support my Apple Extreme ("g"; firmware 5.7) therefore cannot update firmware.  How do I fix it?

You might want to let Apple know.

Not that it is relevent here, but Windows cannot be used to configure the newer AirPort and Time Capsule.

  • How do i get airport utility to recognize airport express?

    Airport express does not show up on my list of devices when I start up Airport Utility.  I'd love to use express with my stereo, but I cannot.

    If that AirPort Express hasn't been configured, there are two ways to get AirPort Utility to "see" it:  (1) Connect an Ethernet cable between the Express and your Mac.  This works best if you don't need the Ethernet of the Express to connect to another router.  (2) Use the AirPort/WiFi menu bar item to look for a network named in the form "Apple Network xxxxxx".  That's the temporary network that the Express is creating.  If you select that network, AirPort Utility should list the Express.  Once you've configured the Express and restarted it, you'll have to reselect the appropriate wireless network.

  • How do I get airport utility to recognise my wdstorage

    I have a 1TB my book (WD storage) external hard drive - my iMac can see it and access it on the network but I can't figure out how to get it picked up by airport utility to allow me to set up time capsule back up.

    Actually a apple time capsule is a broadband, DSL or Cable, wireless router with a built in hard drive and at least the router and wifi ap sections are configured by the apple airport utility. I don't own one but here is a link to the product.

    And a image of the back of it.

    Since you are asking about a WD external hard drive, I think you meant to ask about Time Machine, not Time Capsule.   Time Machine is backup software that will work with many kinds of drives.  Time Capsule is an Apple hardware product (it's basically an Airport Extreme with an embedded hard drive).
    When you first connected to the WD drive to your Mac (regardless of how connected), you should have been prompted about whether or not you wanted to use the WD drive for Time Machine.  If you didn't get such a message (or if you said NO), open the Time Machine application (in your Applications folder) and after it opens, click Set Up Time Machine.
    If you have multiple Macs on your network, and you want to use the WD drive with more than one Mac, ethernet connection is preferable.

  • I have an old Airport Express. How do I get Airport Utility to recognise it?

    I have an OLd style Airport Express that I was using with my 2007 iMac and Tiger. Recent upgrade to Mountain Lion.
    How do I get the Airport Utility to recognise it so I can set extra stuff?

    Here are the AirPort Utility downloads:
    http://support.apple.com/downloads/#airport
    Bottom line: I don't believe it's possible to use your old AirPort Express with Mountain Lion.  The current AirPort Utility is 6.3.1.
    I'm assuming you have this one (from around 2004):

    If instead you have this one (from arount 2008):

  • How do I get Airport Utility to recognise my TimeCapsule when I first connect it?

    I have followed the instructions in the setup guide and on the apple website but still my Time Capsule just flashes amber.  When I press 'rescan' in Airport Utility, it says it is unable to locate any wireless devices.
    I have connected my ethernet cable from my wireless modem/router to my time capsule and plugged the time capsule in to the power.  Before connecting it to the time capsule, the ethernet cable connected my wireless modem/router to my iMac.  Now there is nothing connecting my iMac to my modem/router.
    I am thinking maybe there is something not set up correctly with the Airport and wireless settings on my iMac but I don't know what they would be.  When I got it, I just plugged my modem into the back with the ethernet cable and it worked.  I also have a laptop that I connect wirelessly to the modem.
    I have AppleCare for my iMac but I don't think it covers extra hardware like the Time Capsule.  I bought the Time Capsule in August last year from JbHifi so I don't know if I can take it to an Apple store and get them to help me.  Since August last year I have not been able to make it work or connect to my iMac.
    Please help!!!

    run another ethernet cable from one of the TC's LAN port's () to your iMac. that should enable airport utility to see the device.
    besides, you should really make your initial time machine backup using a hardwired connection. subsequent backups are incremental and can be done over wifi.

  • How do I get  Airport Utility to find my TC that is MIA for wireless?

    I have an Air and had wireless no problem for a month via TC. Last night TC started blinking amber and TC is not found by Airport Utility for me to troubleshoot. I've done all the disconnecting and connecting to no avail. Called ISP, which is working via ethernet connection to Windows desktop, and they say router is not connected to modem. But it was for a month and nothing was changed. The only thing I did last night was to check and make sure TC was being used as my default backup (after reading the Guide), so could I have done something then?

    Terri,
    I know you may have tried some of these before, but note the exact steps below...
    *_Time Capsule Has Disappeared From Airport Utility / Amber Light_*
    *Reboot ISPs’ Modem & Time Capsule*
    If you are using the Time Capsule as your only router then power down your ISPs modem.
    Unplug the TC from the wall outlet.
    Wait 10-15 seconds.
    Next turn your modem back on first. Let it initialize and acquire an IP address (about 30-60 seconds).
    Re-plug in the TC again.
    After it has restarted (30-60 seconds), does it show up in Airport Utilities?
    If not try "Rescan" from the File Menu.
    If the above doesn't work, then…
    *Cycle Airport Preferences*
    Open Network Preferences.
    Click “Turn Airport Off”, wait 10 seconds.
    Now click “Turn Airport On”. Close Prefs.
    Does it now show up in Airport Utilities?.
    If not go to the “File” menu and select “Rescan”.
    Does it appears now?.
    If not, unplug the TC, wait 10 seconds, and plug it back in.
    Does the TC show up now in Airport Utility?
    If the above doesn't work, then…
    *Hard Reset*
    Take a look at this KB article. It will explain how to reset the TC:
    [http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1300]
    Make sure you hold in the reset button for at least a good 10 seconds.
    Then you should be able to see it. Now follow this KB article to set it up again:

    Let us know if this helps resolve your connection issue.
    Cheers!

    Temporarily connecting your AirPort Express to one of the Time Capsule's Etherent LAN <-> ports...as LaPastenagure suggests....is always a good way to setup and configure other network devices.
    If you want to configure the Express using wireless, remember that the Express broadcasts a default wireless signal with a name like Apple Network xxxxxx. You must log on to this network first....no password is required....then open AirPort Utility to "see" the AirPort Express.

  • How do I get my purchased Itunes, which I can see in my Itunes account library on my computer, downloaded to a folder on my computer so I can use them?

    How do I get my purchased Itunes, which I can see in my Itunes account library, transferred to a folder on my computer so I can use them?

    Hello apple1helpme,
    It sounds like you would like to download your iTunes purchases to your computer rather than streaming them from iTunes in the Cloud.  I recommend downloading your purchases directly to your computer using the Purchases page in the iTunes Store:
    Download previous iTunes Store purchases to an authorized computer
    Click iTunes Store near the top of the iTunes window.
    Click the Purchased link at the right of the iTunes Store homepage (below Quick Links).
    In the page that appears, select a category. 
    iTunes shows you which of your purchases are available for download. You can view all of your past purchases, or just the ones not currently in your iTunes library. Items already in your library aren’t available for download. If you select Music, you can view your purchases by song, artist, or album. If you’re viewing by album, click an album to see which songs on it are available for downloading.
    To download all available items, click Download All.
    iTunes 11 for Windows: Download previous purchases from the iTunes Store

  • How do i get air play to work from my macbook to apple tv

    How do i get air play to work from my macbook to apple tv? It does work with some programs like itunes but I can't get it to work with safari.

    apple tv does not work in safari. there is no web browsing capabilities on the apple tv..
    however what you are probably referring to is mirroring? iPad 2 and iPhone 4s have mirroring capabilities, so what you have on the screen is exactly what would appear in the apple tv..
    on ipad for example...ignore the settings page. Instead, go to the iPod controls. Double-press your home button to see the multitasking bar, showing all your recent apps. Swipe your finger from right to left for the mirroring icon; you'll see the AirPlay icon. Tap on that, select your Apple TV and toggle the mirror button to 'on'.

    you are responsible for reinstalling any apps.  It is not Apples responsibility as outline the the service agreement.  Do you have the product key?

    It is part of iOS 8, and cannot be removed.  You can move the app to another page, or hide it in a folder.  You can turn off the notifications for the App in the notifications center control pane.
