HT5022 Airport Express b/g: 10.7.5 returns install error for 5.6

I am trying to reconfigure my older Airport Express to work within a new wireless environment (i.e. I have a new wireless router). I am running 10.7.5 with Airport Utility 6.3.1. It reports that I need 5.6 to configure the Airport Express. The thread I am following says that the two utilities will coexist within the utilities folder. Two problems: 1. In try ing to instal 5.6 I get an installation failure dialog box; 2.  I installed 5.5.3 to see if it would fail. It didn't, but it does not show up anywhere on my system. What to do?

Yes, you can...with a little help from Pacifist....
1. Download airport utility 5.6
2. Download and install Pacifist
3. Open Pacifist.
4. Choose open package and navigate to the downloaded airport utility 5.6
5. Download airport utility 5.6 into Pacifist
6. Navigate to airport 5.6.app in Pacifist menu and drag and drop into Applications/Utilities folder
7. Open Airport Utility 5.6 from Applications/Utilities folder

    I have the same problem - did you solve it?

  • I play music on my hi fi via an airport express attached to my iMac. Since installing maverick the sound quality is terrible and I get frequent distortion, which never happened before. I have reset the airport express and reconfigure my wireless settings.

    Since installing maverick the sound quality is terrible and I get frequent distortion, which never happened before.
    I have reset the airport express and reconfigure my wireless settings. I have also used Ethernet on its own but still get the same sound problems.
    I would love to turn itunes sound off as you used to be able to do, but this I believe can't be done.
    Has anyone else been having the same types of problem, and better still has anyone got the answer?

    When the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) is connected by Ethernet, you will find an option in the AirPort Utility, labeled: Enable AirTunes over Ethernet on the Music pane. Just select this option to allow streaming iTunes via the AirPort's Ethernet port. You should also be able to disable the AX's wireless so that it shouldn't interfere with the nearby TC.

  • HT5022 Airport express 5.6 install problems on osx 10.7.5

    Anyone know why everytime I try to install airport express 5.6 on osx 10.7.5 it gives me the error "installation failed". I've tried several times to reinstall it but I keep getting the same error

    Please check at the very top of the post for context. The user is posting regarding.......
    AirPort Base Station: How to set up and configure an 802.11g AirPort Extreme Base Station or AirPort Express in OS X Lion
    AirPort Utility 6.2 in Lion or Mountain Lion does not support an older 802.11g device, so advising the user to download and install AirPort Utility 6.2....when it is very likely already installed on a Lion or Mountain Lion machine .....does not solve the issue here.
    AirPort Utility 5.6....which the user needs to configure the 802.11g AirPort Extreme.....cannot be installed on 10.7.5 or any 10.8.x Macs without using some workarounds.....not supported by Apple as far as I can tell.
    Can you advise on this?

  • I can print from my macbook pro using airport express usb connected printer, however my iPad is looking for an airprint printer.  Can I direct the iPad to the usb connected printer.  Both macbook and iPad confirm a wifi connection through the airport exp.

    You will need to install an App like Print Central on the iPad to try to print to the printer. It will allow you to print to most printers. Check with their support folks if you need more info.

  • Airport express, guest wifi, time capsule all muddled up - Looking for Bob Timmons!

    My operatign system is OS X 10.9.1
    Airport Express Time capsule 1 TB
    I have had my airport express time capsule for 2 years (1 TB)and it worked pretty near flawlessly since then.  It started with the time capsule being too full and that got me messsing with it.
    I could not fugure out how to delete files from the time capsule and it was not writing over old ones.  I have seen the same problem on here already. (In the end I bought an external drive and now that seems to have solved it and is scurrently bqcking up to the exteranl, even though I deleted a bunch of old files and my computer is now hovering around 830 MB it still won't back up to time capsule a stime capsule states it is hovering around 965 MB .  If you can help me on this part that is great.   )
    Then I tried to reset my AE device.  WIth that I had to reset my network.  this is where the problems began.
    Previously my AE had a steady green light and hosted two wifi names (mine and for guests).
    Now if I click not bridged (?) then I can not get Internet access on the guest network, i get the signal and it is there just no internet connection.  If I click DHC and Nat it constantly blinks amber but the guest network is  there and i have internet.  I have gone back and forth with this and it is consistently behaving like I described above.
    I have done a reset.  I have done a reset and unplugged the machine (though I admit I did not wait two minutes, closer to 45 seconds)
    I want to go back to the steady green light and the two wifis established as before.
    Also one  more thing to add.  My Server name has disappeared too.  I get an error message that says
    There was a problem connecting to the server "name"
    The server may not exist or it is unavailable at this time.  Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, then try again.
    Seems I did a great job messing with this today.
    Can you please help me?

    In its default state, the 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn) will broadcast an unsecured wireless network. It does not need to be connected to another network or the Internet to operate this way. Wireless clients can then connect to this wireless network, but as you know, none will have access to the Internet. Both your Mac and iPhone should have no issues connecting to this network.

  • ITunes (and Airfoil) can see Airport Express but can't connect in Windows XP (error -15000) - firewall problems?

    I am using Windows XP Professional 2002 w/ SP3 on a Dell Latitude E4300 laptop wirelessly connecting to my Airport Express 802.11n (firmware 7.5.2).
    I can see my Airport Express in iTunes 10.4.1 and can select it via the Airplay button. iTunes even detects whether or not a speaker is connected to the Airport Express. But when iTunes tries to connect, it comes back after a while saying "An error occurred while connecting to the Airplay device xxx. An unknown error occurred (error -15000)."
    A similar problem happens with Airfoil from Rogue Amoeba that I use to stream music from other apps such as VideoLAN to Airport Express on the same laptop. I can see that my Airport Express is available but when Airfoil tries to connect, it comes back saying "It appears that a firewall on this computer is preventing Airfoil from connecting to xxx Airport Express. Please check your firewall settings and try again."
    I've set both Airplay and iTunes as exception programs in my Windows Firewall setting, and even added TCP ports 5000 to 5005 and UDP ports 6000 to 6005 to the exceptions as recommended by Airfoil. I've also disabled Symantec Endpoint Protection that Ihave installed. The only thing I can't disable is McAfee Endpoint Encryption, since I also use the laptop at work and I don't have permission to disableMcAfee.  I use this laptop to connect wirelessly with other devices such as HP wireless printers, NAS drives and other laptops on my home network and have never had any issues, so i think that this issue is specific to the Airplay software being blocked by some firewall (I am assuming Airfoil also uses Airplay).
    I've tried this on different wireless networks and I have the same issue with Windows XP on my Dell Latitude E4300. I've also set up the network with no security, but the problem doesn't go away.
    I also tried downgrading iTunes to 10.3.1 but won't work. I think it's an Airplay issue, not a specific iTunes issue, since I'm facing the problem with Airfoil as well.
    How do I trace what is going on that is preventing iTunes and Airfoil from streaming to the AirportExpress within Windows XP?
    I also have another Dell Inspiron laptop on the same network running on Windows Vista, and have no problems streaming music from iTunes or Airfoil to the Airport Express on the same network, even when the network is WPA-2 Personal (TKIP+AES) protected (I've seen other postings where WPA has been an issue, WEP has not, but in my case, this is not an issue). Ditto with my iPad2.
    Thanks for your help!

    I have the same problem with Windows 7 64bit. ITune can see AE and stream Music well. Airfoil, TuneBlade (airplay soft) can also see AE but can't connect and stream music. I ' ve already tried to setup firewall Exception list, even turning off firewall off both windows and antivirus but still got the same problem with the message 'Airfoil was unable to connect to the remote speaker " ... 's Airport Express". Please check the firewall on the computer where " ...'s Airport Express" is running and try again'. Any help would be appreciated !.

  • I got an IP camera for surveilance but I have an old version airport express. How can I plug the ethernet cord for the camera if there is only one port that's connected to the modem (WAN)?

    Modem has one ethernet port
    airport express the old one that looks like a charger has one ethernet port only, one usb, and one jack (speakers).
    IP camera needs of ethernet port to set up
    How can I do this?

    You will need to replace the AirPort Express with another wireless router that has a built-in Ethernet switch ... like the AirPort Extreme.

  • IPad and iPhone 4 and new 5s drop connection with airport express. This just started recently after working fine for a year. PC does not drop. Wifi signal fine. Help?

  • 1 of 2 Airport Expresses Not Responsive After New Wireless Router Installed

    Installed a new Belkin N+ wireless router and now one of my Airport Expresses that I use for Airtunes cannot be "seen" by my computer. Tried resetting with no luck. One of them is a g and the other an n. It is the n that I'm having the issue with.

    Welcome to the discussion area!
    Temporarily, connect an ethernet cable directly from your Mac to the AirPort Express. This will usually allow AirPort Utility to "see" the Express so that you can reconfigure it to work with the new router. You can disconnect the ethernet cable after you have updated the settings on the AirPort Express.
    If this is not successful after a few tries, then the next step would be to reset the Express back to a factory default condition and reconfigure it again. To do this you would:
    Power down the Express for a few moments
    Hold in the reset button and keep holding it in as you plug the Express back in to power
    Release the reset button after 8-10 seconds

  • AirPort Express update to 7.6.1 fails with error -6753

    I have an AirPort Extreme acting as my primary base station, and a AirPort Express acting to extend my wireless network.  The Extreme updated just fine to 7.6.1 (The update took a while, but it was fully successful.)  But my AirPort Express repeatedly fails to update.  I get the message "An error occured while updating software -6753".
    Also note that I first did the update to OS X 10.7.3 (not yet a choice in the Operating System dropdown below this form.)
    Any thoughts?

    Hi Marne,
    Thanks for reply. Good to hear everthing is working fine with your Express.
    wifiguru wrote something  interesting on a similar thread, which helped me updating the Express. In the configuration of the Airport Extreme I switched from channels automatic to channel 12 (no special reason for that number, just a try). After that I could update the Express to 7.6.1 without a problem and everthing seems to work fine now. I don't know how to reference wifiguru's tips so here is a copy:

    Re: 7.6.1 Airport Extreme Update problem     02.02.2012 07:38    (in response to Vijay S) 
    Have you guys tried switching channels after you upgraded to make sure it's not a bad channel/interference issue ?
    As for downgrading, if you launch AU and click on the AP, you will see the pop up which gives you AP details. You will see version info. on that popup. Now hold down the option key and click on Version and it will give you a drop down menu and you can downgrade to the older sw. if needed.
    I recommend playing around with channels first to eliminate other environment related issues before you do this.
    Now it's too late over here to test the HiFi but I'm very optimistic -> the iPhone Apps are working.
    All the best

  • Will my airport express 802.11d interface with the new 802.11n for music streaming?

    I am about tho purchase the new airport express and have the old one running in the house already. The reason for the purchase is to stream music to speakers in the house. The older one is dedicated to the modem and provides wifi, the new ones will be plugged in elsewhere. Should I replace the old one or keep it?

    Welcome back!
    If by "older" AirPort Express, you mean it is a "b/g" version, you'll have to use the WDS setup options on both the new AirPort Extreme"n" and the AirPort Express.
    Unfortunately, two negative things will occur when you setup WDS:
    1) Because WDS is a "g" technology thing, the entire wireless network will drop down to "g" wireless levels. So, you lose any advantages of "n" speeds with your new router.
    2) The bandwidth on the entire wireless network will be cut 50%.
    Bottom line, you will have a "g" wireless network operating at half of it's capability. That's a tremendous loss of performance for a bit more wireless coverage, but you may disagree.
    WDS is difficult for most users to set up because it is very easy to make a mistake. Look over this post to get an idea of what is involved with this. There is also a link to Apple's instructions in this post, but the step by step by expert user Tesserax is easier to follow.
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2287950&tstart=0
    I do not recommend WDS, but it's your call.

  • Airport Express can't find internet during initial install to extend wifi from Airport Extreme

    Currently have Airport Extreme but need to reinforce signal.  Bought Airport Express.  Only way to get Airport Express to find Internet is to connect directly to cable modem (even then, it did NOT show up on Airport Utility).  Thus, have not been able to configure Express either wirelessly or using Ethernet.

    Thanks for the info.
    Please power off the AirPort Extreme, wait a minute, then power it back up.
    Power up the AirPort Express for a few minutes
    Hold in the reset button on the Express for 8-10 seconds and release, then allow a full minute for the AirPort Express to restart to a slow, blinking amber light
    If you plan to leave the AirPort Express permanently connected to the AirPort Extreme, run the Ethernet cable from a LAN <--> port on the AirPort Extreme to the WAN "O" port on the AirPort Express.
    If you plan to have the AirPort Express connect using wireless only, then do not connect an Ethernet cable to the Express at any time
    On the iPad home screen.....
    Tap Settings
    Tap WiFi
    Wait a few seconds for a setting of Set Up a New AirPort Base Station to appear
    Tap on AirPort Express just below that setting
    The utility will open up automatically and take a minute to analyze the network, then announce that the AirPort Express will be configured to extend the AirPort Extreme network
    Enter a device name that you want to use for the AirPort Express.  Keep the name short and simple, like Express, for example
    Tap on Next
    The utility will set the Express up for you automatically with the correct settings.
    When you see the message appear of Setup Complete, tap Done
    You are done, assuming that the AirPort Express is operating correctly.

  • Does Airport Express modifies the IP ID field in IP packets for packets transiting through it ?

    I am seeing packets traversing airport express getting random IP ID values in the IP paclkets. Is this normal and by design? Why would the airport express change the field.

  • Airport Express listed in Itunes, but can't connect  (error -6753)

    I had to reset my router (Linksys) and Airport Express yesterday. Everything is reconfigured, with one exception. I have a green light on my AE and itunes lists it in the speaker selection bar, but it can't connect. I also cannot connect to the AE using the admin tool. The admin tool lists the AE, prompts me for the password then fails. In both cases (itunes and admin tool) error -6753 is reported.
    Any ideas?

I don't get an error message.
    I've also tried configuring with no network security on the router but this had the same effect.
    I'm having the EXACT same problem as nick.
    I spent some time talking with support about this and basically concluded that it was an issue with the router (D-Link DIR-625). However, I've exhausted efforts with opening ports and even put the airport in the DMZ...still nothing. I'm hoping someone has some new info on this that doesn't involve a new router or rearranging equipment throughout the house
