I bought an Airport-Extreme but the software to program it only works on Windows 7 and above and I have an XP? Any work around?

Have you tried AirPort Utility 5.5.3 for Windows
You need to have  XP SP3 installed on your PC to run this version of AirPort Utility.

  • I'm trying to set up time machine to back up on an external HD connected t my airport extreme, but the disk doesn't show as an option in the time machine selecting a disk, any suggestion anyone? My mac "sees" the airport extreme   ??

    The first important thing to consider here is that Apple does not support Time Machine backups to a drive at the USB port on the AirPort Extreme, so that may likely have something to do with your difficulties.
    If you want to continue to try this, the drive must be formatted in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and you almost always have to use a powered USB hub with a drive at the port of the Extreme...even if the hard drive has its own power supply....because the port on the Extreme is under powered.
    Most users who try this unsupported method have corruption difficulties sooner or later, but we do hear from some users who seem to be able to make it work.
    The bottom line is that there is no support from Apple on this if you have difficulties, so you may want to consider a secondary backup plan for your important data.

  • HT1998 My iPAD can use the internet through my airport extreme, but the airport utility does not see it so I can't create a guest password.  What am I doing wrong?

    My iPAD can use the internet through my Airport Extreme, but the Airport Utility does not see the device so I can't set a guest password. 

    If your Mac is using the Lion operating system with recent updates, it will be necessary to download and install AirPort Utility 5.6 for Mac OS X Lion
    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility 5.6
    Select the AirPort Extreme and click Manual Setup
    Click the Wireless tab just below the row of icons
    Click the Wireless Network Options button
    Remove the check mark next to Create a closed network
    Click Done, then click Update to save the new settings and allow 25-30 seconds for the AirPort Extreme to restart

  • I have a Netgear NAS which uses  Stora software. Mavericsks will not let me install the software as it is not from an approved developer. Is there any way around this?

    I have a Netgear NAS which uses  Stora software. Mavericks will not let me install the software as it is not from an approved developer. Is there any way around this?

    There is, but why do you need the s/w installed? The NAS should have a web admin interface, accessible via ip address (http://<ip address>) which should allow all the needed configuration that is required for it to work with machines running os x.
    Try to install as little s/w as you need to do something in Mavericks or any OS as it is usually the cause of future issues or problems.
    If you're intent on installing the s/w, go to System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General and If you have tried to run it before, it should be listed there. You can then "un-block" it should you wish.

  • I have an old airport express, but the software on my computer does not accept it. I need to downgrade the software, but the older software will not install.

    I have a old G4, I want to give to my son. It does not have a wireless card and because his room is on the second floor it is impossible to connect with a wire.
    I wish to add an airport express to my airport extreme network and connect the computer and the airport express together with a cable. Is this possible?
    second question:
    software does not install.
      I do have a network with a airport extreme and want to add the old airport express to it. I want to do this with airport software, however the software tells me the airport express is to old and i need to reinstall older software 5.6 to be precise. However installing fails, so I thought i just remove the airport software, but osx does not allow me to do that.

    i managed to install the older airport utility and am trying to set up a connection with an existing network, but airport utility cannot find the airport extreme AFTER it starts up again. I then went and again restored it to its factory settings and did the whole procedure again with airport utility, but again after utility tells the airport express to restart it does not come back.

  • Can I use an American Airport Extreme in the UK?

    Hi guys,
    I bought an Airport Extreme in the US sometime ago. I never managed to get it to work and gave up. My Wireless has gone down so I thought I would give it another go. Still can't get it to work.
    Will a USA airport extreme work in UK?
    I have updated firmware to version 7.4.2
    The big issue I think is on the wireless options page I can only select America, Canada or a bunch of South American counties. Do the US have different wifi signals to UK?
    Is there anyway of over writing the firmware with UK firmware?
    Is it not any of the above and maybe I am just setting it up wrong?
    Please help,
    thanks.
    Jamie

    Welcome to the discussions!
    +Will a USA airport extreme work in UK?+
    Yes
    +Do the US have different wifi signals to UK?+
    Yes. UK uses channels 1-13. US uses 1-11. You won't be able to use 12 and 13 on your AirPort Extreme. I'm not sure about 5 GHz channels if you plan to use that frequency.
    +Is there anyway of over writing the firmware with UK firmware?+
    No
    +maybe I am just setting it up wrong?+
    If you can tell us what modem (make and model number) you are using with the AirPort Extreme, we may be able to help with the setup.

  • I have a Apple Power Mac G5 Dual 2.3 GHz/6GB RAM/500GB HDD/Superdrive PowerPC Desktop and just bought an Airport Extreme card for it.  The card is recognized but will not see the in-house network.  This is a pre-intel computer.  Do I need an antennae?

  • I bought airport extreme to increase coverage in my 2 story home.  It uses an ethernet connection. There are dead zones which I had hoped to cover with the addition of the airport extreme, but it didn't help.  Any suggestions?

    I bought an airport extreme to increase the coverage in my 2 story home.  I get good fast coverage in some spots on both floors, but complete dead zones in other areas.  The airport extreme did not help.  It is connected by ethernet to my cable modem which has a high speed connection.  Is there a configuration I should try to help with these dead zones?
    Thank you- CC in Minneapolis

    Please check out the following AirPort User Tip for details on how to best place your base stations for maximum coverage.

  • I just bought an Airport extreme.  I was told I can attach it to my modem/router (one unit) via ethernet cable.  When I use airport utility it tells me the device is not connected or found.  Any input?

    I just bought an Airport Extreme.  Sales rep told me I could plug it into my existing modem/router (one unit) from isp. vie ethernet cable and it would speed up my internet.  When I open airport utility it tells me device is not connected yet my internet still works.  Was the rep wrong about speeding up my internet or is it not compatible with my isp unit?

    Sales rep told me I could plug it into my existing modem/router (one unit) from isp. vie ethernet cable and it would speed up my internet.
    Sorry, but this is not correct. Your Internet connection speed is established by the plan that  you have with your Internet Service Provider. The AirPort Extreme will not "speed it up".
    Unless there is some special feature that the AirPort Extreme provides that you need, adding another wireless router...when you already have one.... is not going to buy you anything.
    The AirPort Extreme is compatible with your modem/router if you want to continue to try to hook it up.  It will really help if you have a Mac for the configuration as the Windows Firewall often blocks connection and configuration attempts.

  • I am using FCP 7.0.3.on my Mac Pro. I bought a new mac book pro and loaded the software on to the lap top but the software is 6.0.3. How do i get the update to the lap top?

    I am using FCP 7.0.3 on my Mac Pro. I bought a new mac book pro and loaded the software on to the lap top but the software is 6.0.3. How do i get the update to the lap top?

    .. and by the way, the jump from FCP 6.0.3 to FCP 7.0 (or higher) isn't an "update"  It's a full version "upgrade" that has to be done using the install discs (or disc images).

    I have a Airport network at home with a Time capsule connected via ethernet cable to modem. Also the network is extended wirelessley with an Airport Extreme. I now wish to add a second Airport extreme but am considering a hard wire connection with 100 ft of cat 6 cable from the Time capsule to the second Airport extreme.  Can my network operate properly to extend the network with both a wireless and wired extend functionallity?

    I now wish to add a second Airport extreme but am considering a hard wire connection with 100 ft of cat 6 cable from the Time capsule to the second Airport extreme.
    Excellent plan.
    Can my network operate properly to extend the network with both a wireless and wired extend functionallity?
    Yes, but don't get confused about the second AirPort Extreme, as it would not be configured to "extend" a wireless network.....it would be configured to "create a wireless network" using the same wireless network name, security settings and password as the Time Capsule network. Configure the second Extreme in Bridge Mode.
    This Apple support document will show you how to hookup and configure the second AirPort Extreme:

  • I own an imac 2011 running osx 10.6.8. I want to the new airport extreme. but it says in the system requirements that it needs osx lion 1.7.5 or later. would it work with my older osx 10.6.8?

    i own an imac 2011 running osx 10.6.8. I want to buy the new airport extreme but it says in the system requirements that it needs osx lion 10.7.5 or later. would it work with my older osx 10.6.8?

    In order to set up and install the new AirPort Extreme:
    Setup and Administration
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5 or later and AirPort Utility 1.3
    Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.5 or later and AirPort Utility 6.3
    would it work with my older osx 10.6.8?
    Yes, if you set up the new AirPort Extreme using the guidelines above. The 10.6.8 Mac will be able to connect to the AirPort Extreme, but it will not be able to make any configuration changes.
    Only the devices listed above can be used to set up and make any changes to the new AirPort.

  • I'm trying to setup a printer go wireless through my airport extreme, but every time I try to print the printing file gets paused. I'm in loop. PLEASE HELP! (The printer is a Brother 7020  monochrome)

    I had the exact same problem
    It turns out I was using a 20 foot USB cable between the printer and the Airport Extreme and the signal had become to weak to work. Try using nothing more than a 6 foot cable or try a new cable

  • I presently use an older AirPort Extreme but my reception comes & goes does this occur with the new extreme?

    I presently use an older AirPort Extreme but my reception comes &amp; goes. Does this occur with the newer version?

    1)  If the reception comes and goes as a result of wireless interference from other sources in your home and around the home...other wireless networks in the neighborhood....or...nearby cordless phones.....then a new router is likely to experience the same issues. See this Apple support document for symptoms and fixes of wireless interference.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1365
    2) If the reception comes and goes as a result of an aging power supply in the older AirPort Exteme or another component that is intermittently acting up, then a new router should take care of that.
    What we cannot tell you is whether 1) or 2) applies to your situation.  If possible, it would be good idea to take the older AirPort to an Apple Store or Apple Servicer....if you have one near you....to let them take a look.
