i cannot install airport utility 5.6 onto my computer although i need it to configure an older airport express and base station

Here is my method.. the software is free that is required.. always a good point.
How to load 5.6 into ML.
1. Download 5.6 for Lion.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
Click to open the dmg but do not attempt to install the pkg.. it won't work anyway.
2. Download and install unpkg.
http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
Run unpkg on the desktop.. it is very simple.. drag the AirPortUtility56.pkg file over to unpkg.. and it will create a new directory of the same name on the desktop.. drill down.. applications utilities .. there lo and behold is Airport utility 5.6 .. drag it to your main utilities directory or just run it from current location.
You cannot uninstall 6.1 so don't try.. and you cannot or should not run them both at the same time.. so just ignore the toyland version.. the plastic hammer.. and start using 5.6.. a real tool.
For screen shots see this post.

  • HT5022 I cannot install airport utility 5.6 on mountain lion

    I have Airport Express that I can use it for streaming music from my iMac and Sharing Printer for home network computers.
    I cannot manage the Airport express with Airport Utility 6.1.
    It says I need to use Airport utility 5.6 to manage Airport express.
    However, I also cannot even install Airport utility 5.6 on Mountain Lion iMac.
    Then, How can I use my Airport express?
    Is anyone know how to do it?

  • I have Windows 7 and for some reason I cannot install Adobe Type Manager onto my Computer. I need ATM to install the DIN font but am having no luck what so ever. I can see the DIN font in my Dropbox but it is showing up like this:-  ._DIN-bold, no file fi

    I have Windows 7 and for some reason I cannot install Adobe Type Manager onto my Computer. I need ATM to install the DIN font but am having no luck what so ever. I can see the DIN font in my Dropbox but it is showing up like this:-  ._DIN-bold, no file file extension. what am I doing wrong? is it Mac?

    (1)    Adobe Type Manager (ATM) is not compatible with any version of Windows beyond Windows XP (32-bit, only). Attempting to install ATM on any newer version of Windows may actually disable Window's capability of rendering Type 1 and OpenType CFF fonts, requiring a reinstallation of Windows.
    (2)    There is no need to use ATM to install any fonts under Windows.
    (3)    The file name ._DIN-bold is indicative of a MacOS font. These fonts cannot be installed on Windows systems.

  • I recently upgrade to an iPAD Air. I gave my old iPAD (1st gen) to my wife.  I restored it to original factory conditions.  Now we cannot install iBook on it since it requires iOS 7.  What can we do with older iPADS that are still 100% functional.

    Look at this similar problem in getting Netflix on an iPad 1. Same technique should work for you.

    cannot install oracle vpn on linux getting error kernel-sourcecode is needed by gds_cisco_vpn_client-2.0-llrhel4.i386.. i already installed kernel-devel still it get the same error. pls help.

    1. kernel (.rpm)
    2. kernel-devel (.rpm) - containing only Makefiles and some kernel header files
    3. kernel source rpm (src.rpm) - source for rebuilding the kernel
    4. kernel-sourcecode (.rpm) - source-tree for developing custom kernels
    are four different packages.
    If you are running OEL-4 (2.6.9 kernel) and you have an ULN account, you can download kernel-sourcecode rpm from ULN. There is no kernel-sourcecode for OEL-5 available on ULN site.

  • Configure an older airport express with my iMac running 10.10.1

    I did a master reset on my airport express and now the software under the preferences/network section says...
    Airport Utility does not support this base station. 
    How can I get or download the software to support/configure my older airport extreme basestation?
    Chers,
    Sean

    Unfortunately, Apple dropped support of the older AirPort routers several years ago, so you will need to have.....or be able to borrow for 10-15 minutes......a Mac running Leopard (10.5.x) or Snow Leopard (10.6.x) or a PC with AirPort Utility installed on the computer to be able to administer the older AirPort router.

  • 802.11n and Airport Express iTunes Base station Help me ?

    I'll try to keep this simple :
    In my Office I have a 24" iMac Intel and the
    802.11n resides also in my Office
    About 40ft away is my Den which resides:
    My MacBook Pro 17" Intel and a Airport Express iTunes
    Base Station
    Going Back to the 802.11n I have a 2.0 USB AC Powered
    Hub connected to the USB port on the back of the 802.11n
    of which  said is OK to do
    Connected to the USB on the back of the 802.11n:
    is a Epson R200 USB InkJet Printer and also on that
    Hub is a Lacie Porche 500gb External USB Hard Drive
    Again  says is Ok to do
    The problem I'm having is that the Cable Modem is
    in my Office and is connected via Ethernet to the 802.11n
    and I can get a strong connection to the internet
    on my iMac 24" Intel in my Office but the MBP 17"
    in my Den is having issues getting onto the Internet
    now about a week ago I spent 8hrs on the phone W/Apple
    about such issues so we erased all the information in
    the Disk Utility and started over with the information
    in the 802.11n and the iTunes Base Station Express
    this has helped until the recent FirmWare Update that
    Apple Released a few days ago,
    I've tried to actual bring my MBP 17" into the Office
    and it gets a better Internet signal than in the Den,
    but this wasn't the way it was before the FirmWare Update
    Any Suggestions on what I can do to fix this situation
    As all worked well with the Express iTunes in the Den
    and the 802.11n in the Office and the Cable Modem has
    always been in the Office ?
    P.S> One problem I forgot to mention is I keep dropping
    The Macbook Pro 17" and a Lacie 400gb Hard Drive which is
    connected directly to the MBP 17" USB Port which keeps
    dropping from my iMac 24" networking it will be working
    fine and then I get a message stating that either or both
    the MBP 17" and the Lacie Disk (400gb) is Disconnecting
    from iMac 24" and then the same will happen on the
    MBP 17" with the iMac 24" and any connected drives I'm
    sharing from the iMac 24" ?
    I'm having a connection problem and I can't get to the
    bottom of it and I need some help please
    Feel free to email me [email protected]

  • "cannot install OS X 10.6 on this computer"

    Hi there,
    So i 'erased' my harddrive through disc utility, resarted, and put my Snow Leopard disc 10.6.. ..it 'installed' and 'failed instal' > resarted, now it sais "cannot install OS X on this computer".."must have OS X 10.5 or higher installed already... "
    please help!
    thank you
    omie'

    . The Snow Leopard 10.6 DVD should still be available at this time from Apple for $19.99. You will have to call Apple Customer Care 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775 to purchase it. It may still be in the Legacy Products list. The App Store which is required to download 10.7 Lion or 10.8 Mountain Lion is part of the 10.6.6 update.
    If you wait to long and they no longer have any in stock you will have to buy it from eBay or Apple resellers that still have stock. But you will have to pay a premium since the DVDs are no longer being made. Snow Leopard DVDs are already over $100 on Amazon.

  • How do I configure an older airport express with Yosemite?

    I Have an older airport express and my computer will not recognize it in Airport Uitlity. I tried using an older Airport Utility (5.6) but it cannot be run on Yosemite

    Please help!
    I can't create a new thread
    I am trying to get a A1264 to connect to a Macbook pro 2014 with yosemite.
    - Airport Express A1264 (from 2008)
    - MacBook Pro Retina mid-2014
    - Last updates Yosemite blah blah
    I usually use my old Imac as a wifi sender. It's running on a VPN, cable plugged directly in the wall.
    Please explain step by step what I should do. For now, I plugged the Airport in the wall and plugged the Ethernet cable in it. It lights green (no flashing). But Airport Utility (the new one and the old one) doesn't detect it and I don't have an option to set a new Airport. There is "configure others" but then it asks for address and password.
    Thanks

  • Airport Express - Extreme Base Station - MacBook Connection PLEASE HELP!

    Ok, i thought i had a pretty good idea of what i was doing with my mac stuff but apparently not, can someone talk me through how to set up the following - i've google and searched forums far and wide and cannot seem to find a simple walk through guide, even read the manual. The Airport Express manual online still says you can only stream to one device at a time.
    I have an Airport Extreme Base Station broadcasting a DSL connection from a router - works a treat. I also have 1TB WD Hard Drive plugged into the Base Station which works as a shared AirDisk - also works a treat. I have two stereos at each end of the house and got my hands on two Airport Express devices (Models: A1084 and A1088).
    I've gone through every possible scenario in setting these up to join the network but once they're 'joined' there no sign of them, and they no longer show up in my Airport Utility so can no longer configure them, thus having to reset them and start again.
    I've tried a) setting up a WDS network, the base station as the main and the express' units as remote. No show in iTunes and no real show of being on the network at all; and b) tried leaving the existing network as is and joining the express' to that, again, they supposedly 'join' (i assume, only because they no longer show up as their own network) but do not show up in iTunes. As far as I've tested and found, I have the latest of all versions of software / firmware available, including Leopard, iTunes and Airport Utility... HELP! It's driving me MAD! And a thousand thank you's in advance...

    Thanks for your help, after trouble shooting to no end, I've discovered it has something to do with the WEP password I was using and after reading through many a support article I found this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2098?viewlocale=en_US - however, the $ sign doesn't seem to work to when setting up the Express' (even tried making the password the very one used in that article) and when I set the network up initially, it seemed my flatmates PC's only joined the network if I used a WEP password, rather than a WPA that i'd rather use.
    Any suggestions here? Do I have to use a WEP password to let Windows join?

  • Error when trying to connect Airport Express to Base Station

    I came home today and the light was flashing amber on my Express. Tried to re-connect but keep getting this message: "There was an error setting up this wireless device for WDS. Quit Airport Utility and try again." I have, several times and it still won't connect. Got any ideas? My wireless router is the older Apple version flying saucer.
    Thanks....

    Have you tried using a WEP password for your wireless network instead of a WPA one? That fixed it for me.
