Installation of airport 5.6 for Lion failing

When I try to install airport 5.6 for Lion the final installation always fails... I have no clue why.
It just says for me to contact the supplier of the software which is clearly apple. Any ideas?

Apple will not let you install AirPort Utility 5.6 on Lion 10.7.5. I believe it only works up through version 10.7.2.
If you need AirPort Utility 5.6, there is a workaround....not supported by Apple....that will probably allow you to manually install the 5.6 application once it is extracted from the download package.
Forum expert Tesserax has details about this in this thread:

Where is airport admin utility for lion

There does not seem to be an airport admin utility for airport extreme, I only have the airport utililty that doesn't seem to allow any setup changes. It also does not give options for set up changes when there is no green light for the base station.

Hi - to get the full featured Airport Utility 5.6 for Lion, go to the following link for the download - you can keep 6.1 and 5.6 on your computer.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
Use it to configure the Extreme when you have problems.

Mountain Lion fails to install saying it cannot create the recovery; I had a similar problem with Lion and the Apple Store that helped me resolve it gave me an installable version of Mountain Lion on a flash drive for my inconvenience....

Mountain Lion fails to install saying it cannot create the recovery; I had a similar problem with Lion and the Apple Store that helped me resolve it gave me an installable version of Mountain Lion on a flash drive for my inconvenience....is there some trick I am missing or do I need to make an appointment with a genius...

I have the MacIntosh volume and the Boot Camp partition only. I know that when I installed Lion, I had to go through a whole back-up and recovery of Windows and then re-format the drive.
The tech at the Apple Store had a previous life as a MSCE and was very helpful. I believe he even said that I should not have htis problem with Mountain Lion which is why they gave me the flash with it onboard. I was in the process of starting a new job when I went to Lion, so I have waited to do this next and probably last upgrade to this old MBP since I doubt Apple will support this MBP in Maverick.
I do not have another installation, so that is not an option. I will try to create an external, I have plenty of hard drives around and see if I can get it done that way. It might take me a week or two to get back to it, but I will comment back upon completion of that effort. Thanks for your help....Dave Iverson

HT5022 Airport Utility 5.6 install failed in OS X Lion

Installer fails to install Airport Utility 5.6 on my Macbook Pro (OS X Lion)! The error window only advices to "contact the software manufacturer for assistance".

If you are running OS X 10.7.5, make sure that you have the correct version of AiPort Utility liked below:
AirPort Utility 5.6 for Mac OS X Lion
You may have downloaded AirPort Uility 5.6.1, which is not the right version for Lion.
If you have moved to Mountain Lion 10.8.x, you will need to use a workaround to install AirPort Utilty 5.6. See this article for details:

Could not find installation information for this machine for lion

could not find installation information for this machine for lion after trying to reinstall lion ona new MacBook pro that come with lion

I guess Lion Internet Recovery has still some issues, maybe it's just my internet connection at home, but yesterday and this morning I was trying to restore Lion at home and the remaining time was of 54+ hours, and it never get to be less than 50 when it crashed..
I shut my computer down and headed to my office and once here, the remaining time showed as 1 and a half hour.
I finally was able to restart my Macbook Pro.
Maybe my router (at home), or mi ISP was blocking Lion Recovery tool or something like that... weird...
My last choice was going to take it to the AppleCare, it's good I didn't have to...
Thanks everyone!

What happened to "Allow Ethernet Clients" in Airport Utility 5.6 for Lion?

I recently upgraded to cable internet and in reconfiguring my network I have run into a problem using my old AirPort Express (model A1084) as a wireless bridge providing an ethernet connection to my TV. I have an AirPort Extreme base station creating the wireless network--all systems green on that.
When I go to the wireless configuration in manual setup to add the Express to the existing network, the "Allow Ethernet Clients" checkbox is nonexistent.
I know the functionality exists because I had the network configured in such a way with the previous ISP with no problems. The only difference is that now I am running Lion on my MBP, so I downloaded Airport Utility 5.6 for Lion because 6.1 was frustrating.
Anybody else have this problem or know of a workaround?

Hey Bob...
You seem to be the go to guy for "vintage" airport express base station questions.
My issue is similar to the above. So are you saying if you have an A1084 Airport Express there is not an option for Allowing Ethernet clients? I fired up my old MacBook Pro so that I could access an older version of Airport Utilty, but when I tried the other Wireless Modes I was unable to see the "Allow Ethernet clients" check box.
I have an original Apple TV with a bad wireless card that can no longer connect to my wireless network. Apple wanted $169 to replace. So stupid...probably costs them $2. Anyways...Apple Genius suggested connecting via ethernet to my airport express as an option to keep my old Apple TV connected. The only reason I'm not buying a new Apple TV is because I utilize the red and white audio jacks on the back for my outdoor wireless Brookstone speaker, and the new Apple TV's do not have these ports.
On a side note, I'm a 25 year Mac user, but I'm considering the Amazon TV instead of a new Apple TV if I cannot get my older one reconnected to my network. Do you have any opinions on the subject?
Thanks for your time...

Offline installer for Lion Server? Can it be done?

Hi guys,
/rant
Before I get to the topic of this post let me state, the claimed download size for Lion Server is WAAAAAY off the +14MB they say it is. I have reinstalled it few times now and this time around I monitored the download and it came in at the +200MB mark!!! Sure, maybe the initial installer is only 14MB but it pulls down another +200MB when setting it up. Why is this not mentioned on the App Store page? Surely we should be told about such a large additional download.
/end rant
Can anyone tell me if its possible to make an offline installer for Lion Server, in the same way that it can be done for the Lion client?
I have been tinkering with it a lot and have had to reinstall a few times and would prefer to not have to download 200MB everytime I screw something up, if it can be avoided.
Thanks in advance.

Hi defecta,
i have the same problem. I had to install a new server with lion at the cusomers site in a heavy military bunker below earth and no internet around. I was allowed to bring the server up to surface and give it internet with a myfi. As you can imagine it took some hours to download on a bad mobile connection out in the woods. I do know i have to install that server from scratch after it has been tested.
Have you or anyone else been able to capture the download? Is there a place to get an offline install package, a DVD or Stick. Sadly its to late now to image that server after fresh install.

Lion fails to install. Installing from a external hard drive or SD card.

Fresh formatted hard drive. I created a boot SD card and Hard Drive. Boots fine then wen it tries to auto installs it fails saying unable to install Mac OS X. Please retry install. Then the prompt goes when you click ok. Can't do anything after that. Help!
Running a early 2009 MacBook pro

Apple not supports installing Lion from selfmade usb's. Because nobody knows what tool you used to create it, and if files are missing on the stick.
Also the permissions for the files need to be set correct, else the installer cannot read its content.
Normally you boot from such a stick and the install process is just very similar to the one of Snow, ie. use disk utility to erase disk ( Notice : for Lion the partition scheme needs to be A GUID/GPT , not MBR , the created partition must be Mac OS Journaled or "HFS plus" ), then point the installer to the newly created harddisk and thats all. After install it reboots and you are set : The welcome wizard / Migration Assistant starts.
Have you 2GB of Ram ? Below that the Installer fails.

Airport utility 5.6 install failed

need to use first version of airport express and running 10.7.5 airport utility 5.6 install fails need help

First try AirPort Utility 5.6 for Mac OS X Lion. If that version does not install, go on to the next series of steps.

If you haven't already download the AirPort Utility disk image file directly from Apple Support Download
Place the resultant AirPortUtility56.dmg file onto your Mac's Desktop.
Run Pacifist.
Click on the Open Package option. Find the disk image file that you just placed on your desktop, and then, click on Open.
The utility is located as follows: Contents of AirPortUtility56.dmg > Contents of AirPortUtility56.pkg > Contents of AirPortUtility56Lion.pkg > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility 5.6.app
Drag AirPort Utility 5.6.app to your Mac's /Applications/Utilities folder.
You can now run the AirPort Utility from the Utilities folder.

Can't install OS X Montain Lion; Failed to verify Essentials.pkg: xar_verify failed

As said, I can't install OS X Montain Lion without getting this error message in the log during installation ; Failed to verify Essentials.pkg: xar_verify failed
I've read a lot on the forums and googling this error message, and I've been reading lots of people saying it's a RAM issue. So I recently replaced my RAM from original 1gbx2 to 2gbx2 sticks without any success.
Is there an easy solution for this problem out there? Or is it something else in the hardware that is faulty?
Worth mentioning is; the problem resides with my Macbook 13 inch late 2009 and i'm using a USB stick for the installation
Thanks in advance,
Sebastian

Since Mountin Lion does not come on a DVD, did you prepare this DVD yourself? If so, how did you do it? Is it a full Mountain Lion installation that was placed on the DVD?
You might want to restart, hold the Option (Alt) key and select the DVD as the boot device, a hard drive that has been formatted will not show since that restart process only shows volumes that are bootable.
Select Applications, Utilities, Disk Utility.
Select the new Western Digital hard drive.
Select Partition in the DU main window.
Select Mac OS X Extended (Journaled) for the first partition if you want more than one.
Select from Options, GUID
Then Apply
Even though you did the format once, do it again incase something is messed up. Now close DU.
From the DVD ML Utilities you need to select Install Mac OS and point that to the Western Digital hard drive...if your DVD has been properly created it should have no problems installing on the new hard drive.

Can't find AirPort 4.2 for Mac OS X 10.4.x software for Intel Mac Book

I have an Intel Mac Book and recently picked up a graphite AirPort on eBay without software. I installed the Installer updaters and Mac OSX 1.4.9 Combo update. I can not install AirPort software 2.0 - the error says I can not install on this machine. I went on the Apple site to find AirPort 4.2 for Mac OS X 10.4.x and can not locate the download. Any ideas?

Hi Duane!
Thank you for welcoming me and yur information. I now see that I have the software, but I'm still having issues. I can't get the airport to see the internet. It knows there is an internet connection in the Network Assistant, but fails on the diagnostic. Further, after a restart, the Admin Utility does not list the IP address I the window.
I wondered if this was because of the software version update becausse it said it fixes an issue with Comcast (my ISP).
I wanted to use the Admin Utility to configure the Airport from scratch, but how can I if the base station is not in the list?

Installing mountain lion failed

I have made a bootable USB disk of mountain lion and I tried to install mountain lion off of it. However, it has failed to install.
I went to boot it from the USB and it started installing as it should but then when it came to the second screen where it says it will take 30minutes it froze and then said that there was an error and I need to reinstall mountain lion. So I went to restart my computer and now it comes up with a error is saying "there was a problem installing "Mac OS X" try reinstalling". When I try reinstalling without my USB plugged in it comes up with the install OS x window but it does not detect my internal hard drive disk.
I do not no what to do? I tried to go utilities>restore system from backup and I plugged in my external hard drive but now it does not recognize my hard drive disk on my MacBook so I couldn't restore. Please help me! Need my MacBook to finish my assignments
I'm using a late 2008 aluminum MacBook (according to apple it's is compatible)
Upgrading from lion
Please help me ASAP if possible

Since you have Lion running after this restore, do not instal ML from this USB stick you made (it is probably not corrupt, but anyway don't use it) but download ML again.
The installer you will find then in the Applications Folder.
Before you install it, make a new USB stick installer with "Lion Diskmaker 2.0.1" : this works for Lion too. Read the acompanying readme.
When you have this USB stick made, INSTALL BY USING THE INSTALLER IN THE APPLICATIONS FOLDER:
this will eliminate the large file form your Aplications folder and will just create a ML installation with all your data etcetera in place.
Note: beware that some Apps may not be ML compatible, you can check on the www.roaringapps.com sites.
