I have an old Airport any want to install it on my Mac OS X

How do I install an old Air Port to my Mac OS X

Look on the side of the Express. The model is in the faint print....hard to see....you may need a magnifying glass.
It will start with an "A" followed by four numbers.
If you see A1084 or A1088, the Mavericks operating system that you are using on your Mac does not support these older versions of the AirPort Express.
Use another Mac running Leopard or Snow Leopard, or a PC to be able to administer the older Express.
If you see A1264, then Mavericks can be used to set up and configure the Express using AirPort Utility.

  • 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:

  • I have an old Airport Express that won't connect/set up with Yosemite. Any help appreciated

    Hi, as the title suggests I have an old Airport Express that I have always used wirelessly to connect to my hifi but now that I have upgraded to Yosemite it won't connect via Airport Utility  6.3.4 and Yosemite won't let me use Airport Utility 5.6  Seems I'm stuck between a rock and hard place! Ethernet is no use as the hifi is in another room. Yosemite is running on an iMac and is connected wirelessly to Virgin Broadband. Thanks, Alex.

    If the AirPort Express is very old, such as the original 802.11b/g - only models A1084 or A1088 you will need a commensurately older version of both AirPort Utility and OS X to configure it. Those models were discontinued about seven years ago and support for them is gone. Ethernet won't make a difference anyway.
    You may find instructions or links to web sites with instructions to modify OS X in an effort to circumvent that restriction. I cannot emphasize enough just how bad an idea that would be.

  • 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.

  • I have a new laptop and want to instal photoshop elemets2.0.It will not start to instal. Why?

    I have a new latop, and want to instal an old version of Photoshop elements 2.0 that I have. It will not start the instal process. Why?

    It is probably because the software is too old to install/use on your new machine.  Look at the files on the disk and see if there are any there that you might try to use to initiate installation.

  • I downloaded and installed Lion on an external hard drive using my laptop which is running Snow Leopard I have now decided that I want to install Lion on my Laptop, but when I go to the App store and click on my purchases it will not download

    Thanks Dirk,
                         Tried your suggestion various ways but it had no effect the download button was still greyed out and the install button would not activate will keep trying to find a solution. I dont want to boot from the external hard drive that has Lion on mainly because it is a usb HD and the connection to my wireless modem slows the connection rate and downloading would take about ten hours

    That is precisely the WRONG thing to do. You should never delete, but uninstall.
    Now you need to look for, download and run the Adobe CS Cleaner tool.

  • Hi...I have this problem, everytime I want to print something out the mac asks me for the computer password...that is really becoming annoying after. That happened since I upgraded to mountain lion. How can I stop the computer from asking me that?

    If you are printing via a Windows shared printer and it is the Windows user account that you are being prompted for then you can save this in the Keychain, as shown below.

    I have iworks on disk and want to install on iPad

    You can't. How would you install it on an iPad? The disk you have is for a computer anyway and the iPad runs on a different operating system.
    You can buy iWorks in the app store and install that on your iPad instead.

  • Is there any option to install SQL server in mac os 10.9

    is there any option to install SQL server in mac os 10.9

    Hi PREM,
    If I understand correctly, you want to use SQL Server Authentication log to SQL Server Integration Services.
    Based on my research, only Microsoft Windows Authentication is available for SSIS. So we cannot use SQL Server Authentication log to SQL Server Integration Services. Besides, we can only add OS users in the DCOM Config permission area.
    Reference:
    Connect to Server (Integration Services)
