HT5022 Instructions for Airport Utility 5.6 don't work: "version of Mac OS X is not supported"

Via Software Update, I just downloaded & installed the latest version 6.1 of Airport Utility. When I tried to use it I discovered it recognizes but doesn't support my Airport Expresses (odd in itself).
I was told to install version 5.6 to manage these older devices. So I obediently tried to install it (actually it's v. 5.6.1).
But it won't install! The Installer tells me:
"AirPort Utility can't be installed on this disk. The version of Mac OS X on this volume is not supported."
The system requirements are listed as "AirPort Utility requires Mac OS X v10.5.7, v10.5.8, v10.6 or later." I have 10.7.4.
What the heck is going on here????

Try this one until they fix it:
AirPort Utility 5.6 for Lion: AirPort Utility 5.6.
If that does not work:
AirPort Utility for Leopard, Snow Leopard: AirPort Utility 5.5.3.
Both will run fine on OS X 10.7.4 but since I already have them installed, I do not know if the installer will object. Both will administer all Express models except for the new dual band model.

After downloading firmware for airport utility, airport express base station no longer registers with airport utility on my Mac. Now the base station is blinking amber with no info of what is causing all this to happen. Any suggestions?

After downloading firmware for airport utility last night, airport express base station was deleted from airport utility and only Time Capsule remains. When I plug in the base station, an amber light blinks without being able to verify the cause. Any suggestions to remedy this problem?

There are only a couple of things you can do to resuscitate a nonresponsive Express:
"Hard reset":
Press and hold the reset button with a pen or pencil until you see the status light (LED) start to flash amber rapidly, which should occur after about five seconds.
If that does not work,
"Factory defaults reset":
Unplug the Express from power.
Press and hold the reset button with a pen or pencil, then plug the Express back in while continuing to hold the button until you see the light (LED) flash rapidly. This should happen after a few seconds.
Release the button.
In either case you will have to reconfigure the Express as a new device. A moment or two after it has been reset, the LED should be blinking slowly. It must then appear in your Wi-Fi menu like this:
Earlier versions of OS X will report it as "Apple Network nnnnnn".
In either case, select it, and then launch AirPort Utility.
If it does no appear in your Wi-Fi menu after it has been reset using one of the two techniques above, it is defective. Other than attempting another reset, there is nothing you can do.

You'll need to update to at least ACR 8.2 for the 70D to be recognized. The normal way to update PSE12 to the latest CR is to use Help / Updates in the Editor which should update to ACR 8.5.
According to Adobe's website PSE12 shipped with ACR 8.1 and you say it says yours is reported as ACR 8.0.
Are you using PSE 11 and not 12? PSE 11's maximum ACR version is 8.0.

I updated iTunes to 10.5 and now my encryption passwords for my iPhone and iPad don't work.

I updated iTunes to 10.5 and now my encryption passwords for my iPhone and iPad don't work. I know Apple says if you forget them then it's your problem. However, this was a direct result of my iTunes upgrade. I spent hours trying to fix this. HELP!

Definitely seems to be a cross-platform bug in iTunes 10.5 concerning all NAS disks. Shared libraries on network drives worked fine under 10.4.1, but now there is just an endless loading cycle with no error message or time-out. There is a bit more about it in this thread.

After upgrading to iOs 5.1 the AV composite cable don't work, appear a message: the device is not compatible with iPad2, anyone else had this problem or have a solution for it?

Try a reset. Press & hold the Power and Home buttons together for 10+ seconds, ignoring the red power-off slider, until you see the Apple logo. It is safe to do, there should be no content loss. It is the same as rebooting your computer.
If that does not work, restore the iPad to the factory settings.

Color don't work well in Mac book pro 13" and monitor flash sometimes? Please help me!

Color don't work well in Mac book pro 13" and monitor flash sometimes? Please help me!

Please describe the problem in as much relevant detail as possible. The "etrecheck" fad hasn't made that step any less necessary. The usual results of posting etrecheck output on this site without a full description of the problem are very poor.
The many "failed" warnings that etrecheck sometimes spews mean nothing. Those warnings are not a reason to reinstall the OS, or to do anything else at all. They should be ignored.
The better your description of the problem, the better the chance of a solution.
For example, if the computer is slow, which specific actions are slow? Is it slow all the time, or only sometimes? What changes did you make, if any, just before it became slow? Have you seen any alerts or error messages? Have you done anything to try to fix it? Most importantly, do you have a current backup of all data? If the answer to the last question is "no," back up now. Ask if you need guidance. Do nothing else until you have a backup.

HAVOK, And all other xtras don't work in the Mac version

Just tested the new Director. Another amazing leap forward,
well not, it's the same spot they've been in since 8.5. And
although they effectively keep releasing the same product, in this
version the xtras, Havok included, don't work in the mac version.
They do on the pc. I wonder if this means that the havok based
games won't work in shockwave 11 on the mac. I make games, with 15
million plus a year playing them. It's annoying.
HAVOK, DIRECTxtras, ASFFT and a few others I've tested. Any
other comments?
Also speed wise, 3d is much better but everything else plays
at same speed.

If you are not on a PPC Mac, then none of the PPC xtras will
work until
the developer compiles them as Universal binaries. In the
case of
Havok, that is unlikely to happen, which is why they have the
new Aegia
engine instead. For other 3rd party xtras, talk to the
manufacturer and
see if they have a UB version available. Many of them were in
on the
beta, so they may have new versions up now.

Port forwarding for airport utility 5.6.1

Hi,
The previous version of airport utility had a simple tab "port mapping" that allowed me to forward ports so that various servers running on my machine could be accessible via outside of my WAN/LAN. However, when using the latest version, I don't see anything related to port mapping, the closest I found was an IPv6 Firewall-- which I am not certain is what I am looking for......
Ultimately, I have a development web server that I run on port 3000, and I want this to be accessible from the outside world--- and also I would like VNC guests to be able to do screen sharing / remote access which I believe is through port 5900... How can I make these two things accessible through my standard IPv4 address?
Thank you.

Tesserax, you seem to be the Airport Extreme guru. Been trying to find answers on forums all day so as not to duplicate a post. Also tried to find a way to contact you directly so as not to get off topic here...but couldn't see an option.
Running Airport Extreme Version 7.6.1. Hosting a FileMaker Pro 10 file on a PowerPC on my home network (ISP is TimeWarner ...ugh). Need to publish this file to the URL the gent that hosts my site has pointed at my public IP addy here on my home network.
Created DHCP Reservation by MAC Address for the machine hosting to achieve static IP. Have opened ports 80 and 5003 (filemaker) in Port Mapping. Both pointing at the IP addy of that same machine hosting the file. Some discussions have said to make the end of IP .201 or higher for port forwarding so I've done so.
Port checkers all say these ports are still closed. Time Warner has told me they are not blocking either of these ports and that my modem does not have a firewall holding things up—they say the prob is with my router settings.
I should probably also mention that I used to successfully forward these ports and host/access this file via the URL (same ISP and domain host etc. then as currently).
Obviously posting here because none of this is working. Have looked over the links and docs you regularly reply with—hoping you may have other wisdom to give us. Thanks in advance.

I have airport extreme and have windows 2003 what program do i down load for airport utility

can any one help i tried one but was for windows 2007 no good need it for windows 2003 i have airport extreme just bought it today

Ok thanks for the info - I am only familiar with Windows so I am going to suggest a typical setup using your Toshiba laptop - you can then use the network with any device - tell me if this works for you.
Determine which version of Windows that your Toshiba uses.
Go to http://support.apple.com/downloads/#peripherals
You will be downloading Airport Utility
Download version 5.6.1 for Windows 7 or
Download version 5.5.3 for Windows XP or Vista
Once you have done this let me know if you will be using this Extreme as your primary router after your modem or is your modem also acting as a router or do you have another router anywhere in your network

HT5022 Mountain Lion/Airport Utility 5.6 Conflict?

Hi-The link below is for an article explaining how to install an older airport base station on Mountain Lion. When I follow the instructions, I get an error message upon unstal telling me that my version of OSX won't support installing Airport Utility 5.6. Any advice?
Thanks!

The article explains how to use AirPort Utility 5.6 for Mac OS X Lion, but it appears that you are using Mountain Lion, not Lion.
Now the bad news. Apple ingeniously decided to not allow users to install AirPort Utility 5.6 on Mountain Lion.
The good news is that it is possible to install AirPort Utility 5.6 on Mountain Lion, but you will need to use a utility like Pacifist as a workaround. This article will tell you how:

Could someone tell me where I could get the dowload for Airport Utility 5.0

I am trying to setup a Graphite base station but when I put my settings into the Airport Admin Utility it just comes up with an error saying "An error occurred while uploading the configuration" I have tried a few times, even reset the base station and started from scratch but I get this every time! :'( I have just read that the:
AirPort Base Station Update 2007-001 for Mac
"fixes problems with AirPort Admin Utility for Graphite and Snow Base Stations"
BUT you have to have Airport Utility 5.0 already. I only have Version 4.2 and can't find a download for Version 5.0 anywhere! Can anyone help as I can't find it on the downloads on the Apple site OR on a Google search or anything! Thankyou!
snow ibook 800mhz G3 Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Hello, julienash.
I can only provide some basic information about AirPort Utility 5.0. I have no experience with a Graphite Base Station and its utilities.
According to this link, the only way to get AirPort Utility 5.0 is to install the software that accompanies the AirPort Extreme 802.11n Base Station.
From MacFixIt Late-Breakers, Friday, March 30, 2007 — AirPort Base Station Update 2007-001 (#2): Confusion over Apple’s install mechanism, forcing the update; files modified

Settings for Airport Utility / Airport Express

I have an Airport Express. The idea behind it is, I want to be able to take it to any hotel or location that ONLY has wired internet, and create a WiFi hotspot for my iPad.
Right now I have it set up working on my home network, but I want to make sure the settings are correct so that I could...say...take it to the Ramada Inn that only (in this example) has wired ethernet internet and plug it in, and turn the connection into a WiFi network.
What settings do I need to put in specifically for that purpose?
I'm going to Germany and I want to make sure it works before I leave.

Impossible to say for certain. The same settings used with your existing internet service provider and modem may work, or different settings may be required. An Airport Express can save 5 different wi-fi network settings which can be named for each network.
I don't travel anymore, but when I did I took my Apple PowerBook at the time with me along with my Airport Express to create a new wireless network with my AE if needed for a hotel's modem available in my room. This can't be done with an iPad.

Setup instructions for airport extreme needed

Can anyone please suggest some good instruction sites or downloadable files for the airport extreme?
I tried to install one previously and it didn't work and I returned it, but I would like to try again.
I have a 2008 mac pro on ethernet, an xbox on ethernet and a 2007 mbp and two 2009 mbps plus a 3g iphone and a windows xp pc that I can currently use on my Belkin pre-N router with Virgin internet.
The pc has a Belkin usb N adapter for its connectivity.
The system works pretty well but I was wondering if I would get better speed or coverage from an airport extreme.
Two concerns that I have are that the airport extreme seems to be several years old now (2007?) and I am wondering if it is due for an update soon?
Also, to get faster speeds or less interference, will I be able to set the airport extreme to the 5 ghz band and still have connections to all my current hardware?
Thanks for any advice.

That's hard to say. Sometimes speed and/or coverage on the 5 GHz band can be worse than on the 2.4 GHz band, depending on several factors.

According to Mactracker version 5.2.1 (not the latest version), the newest AirPort Extreme was released in October 2009.

The newest AirPort Extreme can use the 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz bands at the same time.

HT6114 AirPort Utility and AirPlay no longer works after 10.9.2 upgrade.

After upgrading to v10.9.2 last night, iTunes no longer shows my AirPlay speakers (attached to an AirPort Express) as available (other devices on same network see them fine still).
After upgrading to v10.9.2 the AirPort Utility can no longer see/connect to manage the Airport Extreme Time Capsule or the AirPort Express (the Wifi works, I'm associated to the SSID and sufring the web just fine, but I can no longer manage the devices - they don't even show up (marked as 'missing' with the option to 'forget' them in the GUI).

This worked for me.
Joseph Rose's solution (in another discussion) finally fixed Airplay for me. I now have mirroring and extended Airplay functions again. It was a long road, but in the end, removing Air Parrot and Air Display was the solution for me.
Solution:
Ran the Air Display uninstaller that I found by searching in spotlight.
Ran the Air Parrot removal tool & confirmed that the files were deleted based on instructions from their website.
Thanks to all that participated and spent their valuable time offering assistance!
