HT5022 Is it true that Airport Express Utility 5.6 is not compatible with OS 10.8.2, even though the Airport Express Utility 6.2 that I have is said to be incompatible with my Express?
I've been having a problem with needing to reset my older Airport Express once or twice a week, and I thought that I'd check my settlings and possibly get any updates available. I'm told when I try to use my current version of Airport Express Utility (6.2) that I need to unstall the older Airport Expess Utility 5.6. But when I tried to install Utility 5.6, I was told that it was not compatible with my operating system. Is it possible that under 10.8.2, I no longer have an usable Airport Utility program available?
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Although OS X Mountain Lion comes with AirPort Utility 6, AirPort Utility 5.6 is perfectly compatible. Follow these steps:
1. Download AirPort Utility 5.6 > http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482 if you have downloaded it yet, ignore this step.
2. Open Terminal and type:
cd ~/Downloads && pkgutil --expand ./AirPortUtility56.pkg ~/Downloads/AirPortUtility56 && gunzip -c<./AirPortUtility56/AirPortUtility56Lion.pkg/Payload | sudo tar -C / -xvf - "./Applications/Utilities/AirPort Utility 5.6.app"
3. Open Finder, go to Utilities folder and open “AirPort Utility 5.6” to set up the AirPort Express

I'm using Mail 5.3 and Address Book 6.1.3 on X 10.7.5. I want my contact photos to show up in the message list on Mail, but only some of them do, even though the message will link to the contact card in Address Book with the photo in it. I've even tried replacing a photo that doesn't show up with a photo that does show up for a different contact but no luck. I am syncing to one other Mac, an iPhone and an iPad via iCloud.

I have an old Airport Extreme that I want to password protect. I being told that Airport Utility 5.6 is needed to manage the base station. When I download it and try to install that utility I told that it is not compatible with OS X 10.7.4
The odds are that you downloaded AirPort Utility 5.6.1.....which will only work with Leopard and Snow Leopard Macs.
Since your post indicates that you are using Lion 10.7.4, you need the correct utility for Lion. The link is below:

My mac has OSX version 10.8.2 and I'm try to install an aiport express base station which requires 10.5.7 or later. Yet when I try to install the software it says the base station is not compatible with my mac version - how do I resolve?
You already have the software installed that you need if you have 10.8.2.
If AirPort Utility cannot find the Express, that is another matter. More software is not needed. More troublehooting is needed.
Power up the Express for a full minute
Hold in the reset button on the Express for 7-8 seconds and release
Allow a full minute for the Express to restart
Click the AirPort icon at the top of the Mac's screen
Look for a heading of New AirPort Base Station
Just below that, click on AirPort Express

Failure to Load Project: OA Express Datatypes not Compatible with SignalExpress 2014
Hi,
since a few days now, I am trying to get SignalExpress 2014 Full running on my workstation. I deinstalled and reinstalled all National Instruments components multiple times, but I always receive the following error (see also the picture attached) when I try to open a certain project:
Failure to load project
Installed component versions are not compatible with the version of the SignalExpress 2014. Please install the latest versions of the following:
1) OA Express Datatypes
Previously, there was also "DAQ Assistant" mentioned in the list of missing components/components with incompatible versions, but I could solve this with installaing NI-DAQmx. But I could not find anything looking for "OA Express Datatypes" --- I neither know in what package this component is located nor what the purpose of this component is.
Any help is appreciated.Just did a downgrade and it's working again, here are my versions.
linux 3.9.9-1
linux-headers 3.9.9-1
nvidia 319.32-2
nvidia-utils 319.32-1
bbswitch 0.7-4
If you have conflicts, I found it easiest to remove those (bbswitch, virtualbox in my case), downgrade linux and then install the appropriate bbs/vb packages -
Express 802.11n model A1264 not compatible with Mountain Lion?
I have an airport Express 802.11n model A1264. I have been using it with Mountain Lion for a couple of months. Some problems but it worked. Last nite it stopped. - flashing orange light. I am using Airport Utility version 6.1. The helpful? lady at apple support said that model of Airport Express (Gen 1 ) was not compatable with Mountain Lion and I need to get a Generation 2 Airport Express. Is there any other solution?
Hardware failure is a possibility but your Express is most certainly compatible with your version of Mac OS X.

... I had pushed in the reset button on the AU Express -
To properly reset it to factory defaults requires that you depress its reset button continuously for about five seconds - long enough for the LED to flash rapidly, then release it.
After this the Express will create an open wireless network called "Apple Network nnnnnn" where nnnnnn = a set of characters unique to your Express.
Connect to that network by selecting it in the menu.
Launch AirPort Utility. It should find the Express.
If you are still having trouble unplug the Express and plug in to an electrical outlet near your iMac. Not only does this make it easier to perform another "hard reset" should you need to, it minimizes the potential for wireless interference to prevent communication. There is no need to have it connected to your modem as you configure it.
Only after doing all this should you begin to suspect the Express has simply failed. In that case bring it back to Apple for a final determination.
Don't let them tell you it is not compatible with Mountain Lion because I use the exact same one all the time. Even its preceding model is compatible. -
I just bought a new Motorola modem. Do I need to reconfigure my Airport Express? For some reason we have WiFi even though the amber light is blinking.
Typically, when changing out networking hardware, it is always a good idea to perform a complete power reset of all of your networking equipment.
I would recommend that you do the following as a minimum:
Power-down the modem, AirPort base station, and computer(s).
Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes to allow it adequate time to initialize.
Power-up the AirPort base station; wait at least 5-10 minutes. Note: The AirPort's status light may continue to flash amber after it has intialized. That is because, there may be some additional configuration items necessary, like setting up wireless security, before the overall setup is completed to get a green status.
Power-up your computer(s).
If the above steps do not solve the problem, start over with step 1 above, but then perform the next steps between steps 1 & 2. above.
Disconnect the AirPort base station from the Internet broadband modem.
While all of the devices are powered-down, perform a "factory default" reset on the base station. This will get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration and make setting it up much easier, especially if you use the "Assist me" process within the AirPort Utility. (ref: Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule)
After the base station resets, go ahead and power it back down.
Reconnect the AirPort base station to the Internet broadband modem. For the Extreme and Time Capsule, be sure to connect the cable to the base station's WAN (circle-of-dots) port.
Continue with step 2 in the first set of steps.
In this basic configuration, the AirPort base station will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a Network Name (SSID) of Apple Network NNNNNN. Network clients, connected to the base station either by wire or wireless, should now be able to access the Internet through the ISP's modem. Once Internet connectivity has been verified, you can use the AirPort Utility to configure the base station for wireless security and any other desired options. Please post back your results. -
I am running Yosemite and have just bought Pro Tools Express with the intent to Upgrade to Pro Tools 11. Pro Tools Express is not compatible with Yosemite and will not install. How can I get this done?
I have had this problem for close to a year. I have an Extreme base station, two Airport Express's and multiple G4 Mac's with up to date software. I have spent a huge amount of time trouble shooting, resetting, reapplying software and finally calling Applecare without any help. It would be great to get this problem solved.

I cannot run Airport Setup Assistant as the software is not compatible with my version of OS
Bought a pair of Airport Express adaptors to link to (a) a BOSE sounddock and (b) one of my TV's to stream music etc.
Installed the software but my Mac Mini tells me v4.2 is not compatible with my version of OSX.
When going to apps | utilities I only have Airport Admin Utility (which won't run) and Airport Utility which runs, but doesn't find either of the fuly powered up and plugged in Airport Express devices.
At the moment, this is an expensive waste of time. How do I upgrade my software so that I can use these devices in the same way that I already use my Apple TV?
Cheers.If you are running OS X 10.6.7, then you will want to use the AIrPort Utility that came with this operating system to administer your AirPort Express Base Stations (AX).
Try temporarily connecting them, one at a time, to your Mac using an Ethernet cable, and then, use the AIrPort Utility to configure them. -
AirPort Extreme card not compatible with Mac Pro???
Hey,
I recently purchased my Mac Pro without thinking to include any hardware for connecting to a wireless network.
I have recently moved into a new apartment which I am keen to join to a wireless network which has just been set up by my roommate for his PC and Laptop.
I was going to buy an AirPort Extreme card, but I have read that it is not compatible with the Mac Pro. Yet when I looked at the configure process for a new mac it was listed as one of the devises offered for wireless networking!!
I am very confused...
I was wondering if anyone could help me, i just need to know what hardware i will need and how it would be installed.
thanks, all help will be greatly appreciated!
Mac Pro Mac OS X (10.4.8)the mac pro takes a slightly different airport express card. you have to purchase it at the retail store and have them install it. in my experience they will not allow you to purchase one and install it yourself due to the difficulty of installing it. best thing to do take your macpro into a apple retail store and see what they can do.

Have you seen this type of problem before? I think it could be a serious issue for anyone in a similar position.
No; but then, I've not had occasion to use TDM. I've been using firerwire drives for over 10 years, both FW400 and FW800, with no issues except a bit of instability using a B&W G3 machine.
TDM should be safe. Using cautious, manual copying of files from the Target machine to the Host machine should not result in unexpected loss of files or damage to the Target drive's directories. It should behave exactly the same as if it were an external (to the Host) firewire drive.
• I don't suppose there is anything I can do to 'put back' lost items from a separate Time Machine drive which has an up to date backup on it.
There is probably a way to do that - seems to me that's one of the reasons for a Time Machine volume.
On the other hand, if the Time Machine volume is rigidly linked to the now-absent OS on the original drive, there may be no way to effectively access the files in the TM archive.
I know that using a cloned drive would work well in this instance.
I have no experience with Time Machine, so perhaps someone who has will chime in with suggestions.
With the machine in TDM with the other machine, have you tried running Disk Utility to see if you can effect repairs to the drive? -
I attempted to upgrade my iPhone 4 to iOS 5.1.1. I selected 'back up' from the phone in the device menu and iTunes confirmed that the phone had been backed up. I then installed iOS 5.1.1 which wiped everything on the phone & now I am getting the error "iTunes could not restore the iPhone because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPhone that is being restored".
I have tried restoring factory settings but iTunes simply will not restore from back up & I'm not sure what else to do!
Any advice would be much appreciated.I have the same issue and I KNOW my backup IS good. What happen is when you try to restore your phone apple says something like can I check for new updates and if you choose no, it just takes you back to the restore screen and a loop from then on. If you dont update from you phone then when you back up you will have the 5.0.1 back up and then when you update to 5.1.1 and then try to restore the backup from 5.0.1 it say it EITHER corrupt or incompatible.. It is incompatible and its hard as **** to restore back to 5.0.1. I followed the restore to a T and still getting errors. I lost all text history and have to reset up email. All just because I wanted a 1.2 Gigs of "other" space back.
