HT4587 How to set up an older version Airport Express on the 6.2 Utility

I have a older version of Aiport Express (M9470LL/A model A1084) and I get the following message when I try to set it up with the Airport Utility Version 6.2 on my iMac with Snow Leopard 10.8.2. -
"This version of AirPort Utility doesn’t support this base station. Go to AirPort Service and Support for more information."
Any advice on how to set it up ?

Mountain Lion no longer supports the older A1084 AirPort Express that you have.
If you want to try a workaround.....not supported by Apple.....see this article to find out how to add another version of AirPort Utility that will work with Mountain Lion and hopefully allow you to configure the AirPort Express that you have.

Updating Firmware on an older version Airport Express

Does anyone have an answer to updating the firmware of an older version Airport Express. The new Airport utility 6.3.2 will not allow me to make changes to my Airport Express from 6 years back.

Apple has not updated the firmware on the older AirPort Express models in over 6 years, so chances are you already have the most recent firmware installed on your Express.
Apple has dropped support of the older AirPort Express models in AirPort Utility 6.x versions, so you will need to use a Mac running Leopard, Snow Leopard, or a PC if you need to administer the older Express that you have.

How do I reinstall an older version of Aperture from the App Store?

Hello,
I have an older Macbook - 13 inch early 2008. It is still running fine on 10.7.5 Lion, but can't update to a later version of OS X, as it is not compatible. I have Aperture 3.4.5, which I purchased from the App Store.
Following a hard disk problem, I've reinstalled the laptop, used software update to get all the latest patches, and have recovered my files and applications from my Time Machine Backup. Unfortunately, Aperture is no longer able to open files from my Sony Nex camera ("Unsupported Image Format" message") even though it worked before I rebuilt my Mac, and is listed as supported under Aperture 3.4.5. I've done all of the "Repair permissions", "repair database" and "Rebuild Database" things, but it hasn't helped.
I've tried to fix this by removing Aperture (in case my Time Machine backup version is in some way corrupted) and reinstalled from the App Store, but the App Store won't let me have Aperture anymore, even though I've paid for it, because my system is no longer compatible with the current version, 3.5. I can't see a way of downloading a full copy of the older version compatible with my system. I can see updates for Aperture listed at http://support.apple.com/downloads/#aperture, including Aperture 3.4.5, but these require a copy of Aperture 3.0 or later already installed to update, and even if I run the 3.4.5 update, it tells me it won't work because my copy of Aperture is from the App store.
Can anyone help me find a way of navigating the App Store or Apple web site to get the copy of Aperture 3.4.5 I have licensed from Apple?
Many thanks.

Thanks for your help with this. I've downloaded the latest RAW support updates supported on my machine - V4.09 that seems to contain all of the RAW formats for previous updated including V4.06, which includes the NEX 3N, my camera. After a short while (there seemed to be some sort of background processing ging on in Aperture) it started to allow my NEX 3N photos to be viewed. Some of the thumbnails were corrupted, but if I made a slight edit in each of these files, the thumbnails updated and all was well.
Prior to this, I raised a call with Apple, because the inability to reinstall software from the App Store that I've purchased from in App Store to a machine that supports OSX 10.7.5 and no later strikes me as a problem. I need to know that if my Time Machine backup fails and I need to reinstall, I've got somewhere I can go.
The support people at Apple were very helpful, and it feels like they recognise this as a problem, and are working to resolve it behind the scenes. The App Store will not allow me to download the last version that works on my machine at the moment, but it sounds like Apple is thinking about how to do this. In the meantime, they are shipping me a copy of Aperture 3.0 on CD, and sending me a registration code. This will solve my immediate problem.
This does make me wary about using the App Store for purchases in the future. I don't upgrade my hardware that frequently - I have no real need to as it just keeps working - and so not having physical copies of installation media for when the applications stop supporting my OS is a worry. On the face of it, maintaining prior versions of the software for older machines to download from the App Store seems like a reasonable solution, but they are not there yet, and there is no real commitment for them to do this. Anyone who doesn't back up their Apps in Time Machine (probably the majority of users) could loose them altogether when Apple moves on, and cuts app support for older OS versions.
Thanks to @léonie and @Frank Cagianno for your help.

HT4587 what about set up apple tv using airport express base without WIFI connection

How to set up Apple tv on my tv using airport express base without internet connection

In theory you can configure the AirPort Express to broadcast a Wi-Fi network that the Apple TV can connect to. The default configuration of the Express is to broadcast an unsecured Wi-Fi network with a Network Name of something like: Apple Network NNNNNN. You would then configure the Apple TV to connect to this network.

How to set up iHM79 speakers with airport express?

I've got the green light on the express.. i can see it fine in airport utility. I've told iTunes to play thru the express. But the express does not seem to realize it has speakers attached to it. All i did was plug the speakers into teh express. I notice that in airport utility, it wants to know the name of the speakers. Well, near as i can tell, the speakers don't have a name, and there are very few directions that came with them, so i am lost.
How do i tell the express that it's got speakers attached so that i can play music thru them wirelessly?

You can use AirPort Utility (in the Music panel) to give the speakers a name. That can be useful if you have more than one set of speakers attached to separate AirPort Express units so that you can distinguish between them in iTunes.
I can't find a way to name the speakers.. it just asks me what the name of the speakers i want to use is.

Can you see the speakers in iTunes? One thing you may have forgotten to do is to check "Enable AirTunes" in that same Music panel of AirPort Utility.
I had that done, but it didn't matter. I could see the express in iTunes, but not the speakers specifically.
However, i have gotten it all to work by starting over. I ran across a tutorial here, telling me to plug the speakers into the express and THEN plugging the express into the wall, and then setting the express up with airport utility. So i restored it to default factory settings at that point and started from scratch. Voila! I still don't see names for the speakers, but they play music, so i'm not arguing.
Now I've left my daughter to figure out where to find the app for her iPod Touch to remotely control things.

How can I set up an older airport express using the newest airport utilities?

How can I set up an older airport express using the newest airport utilities? Seems like there isn't an option to set this up. Normally you could add/set up this in the airport setup assistant- but that doesn't exsist any longer.
Thanks for any suggestions

How can I set up an older airport express using the newest airport utilities?
Unfortunately you can't, since Apple dropped support of the older AirPorts with AirPort Utility 6.x.
Using some workarounds....not supported by Apple.....you might be able to download and install an older version of AirPort Utility that would allow you to administer the older AirPort.

I had an old version of firefox & it made me upgrade to a newer version, however once I upgraded it said it does not work with my Mac that is a OS 10.4 & not I cannot access or download firefox, how can I download a older version for my Mac?

I had firefox on my computer and it made me download the newer version, but once I downloaded it, it said it does not work on my computer which is a Mac OS 10.4 and now I cannot use firefox at all on my computer. How do I download an older version that will work on my computer?

As of Firefox 4.0 and newer one needs at least OSX 10.5+ and Intel hardware.
The latest you can use on your Intel with OSX 10.4.11 is Firefox 3.6.25 (released recently) which can be found at http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
If you were to update to say OSX 10.5.8 then you can use Firefox 9.0.1

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.

How can i get an older Version of numbers?

Good evening to everybody. My problem: Numbers will not be load on my mac book air. Version in App Store is just for 0Sx 10.9 or higher. But my Mac is 0SX 10.8.5. How can i get an older version????

iWork '09, the version prior to the current major version, is still available on Amazon. But I just noticed there are only a few left in stock. Price is $26.99. It may be worth the price if you use one or more of these apps regularly. A large number of features have been removed from the latest version (10.9.x) in order to make it compatible with the iOS version.

How do I reinstall an older version of the software on my IPod touch? Installed the latest update and now it no longer works in my car

How do I reinstall an older version of the software on my IPod touch? Installed the latest update and now it no longer works in my car.

I'm sorry, but Apple does not provide a downgrade path for iOS. Because downgrading is unsupported by Apple we cannot discuss it on these forums.

How do I get back my older version of Firefox? The new version sux.

I loved the older version of Firefox. I also had a Yahoo toolbar, a MyYearbook tool bar and a Stumble Upon extension. When I "upgraded" to the new 4.0 Beta version, all of those disappeared.
I got a notice that said the new version of Firefox is not compatible.
If it's not compatible, then I don't want it, but I seem to be stuck with it. How do I get my older version back again??

If you resaved the file and changed its name it is wherever you saved it to.
If you changed the name of the open file then that is your only copy.
You can go back to previous versions by various methods. In Pages 5 it is:
Menu > File > Revert

You appear to have an iPhone 5. Snipsnap 2.4.2, the current version, says it works on iPhone 5, iOS 5.0 or later. Why do you want an out of date version of the app?

I have 3.0 but need an older version to work with Kurzweil KESIReader, how do I get an older version to use for schoolwork?

I am disabled and need to use Kurzweil to read to me, this requires an older version than 3.0 to work with their KESIReader to read the web. How can I get an older version that will work with my other program?
