Latest airport utility update won't let me rename 5GHz network?

The latest airport utility update changed the name of my 5GHz network and won't let me change it back, anyone else having this problem?

You might want to take a look at AirPort Utility 5.6 for Lion. It is very similar to the previous version of AirPort Utility.

Yes, you can have both 6.0 and 5.6 on your Mac and choose the one that you want to use. I think you may find that while 6.0 is fun to look at, 5.6 provides a lot more functionality.

  • Airport utility 6 won't let me set up a guest network

    Hi I want to set up a guest network.
    In previous versions of Airport utility I could simply use the manual config option to do this. In version 6 I no longer have the option. The Wireless panel doesn't have the 'Create Guest Network' option anywhere on it.
    So how do I set up a guest network?

    Please download and install AirPort Utility 5.6 for Mac OS X Lion , which provides much more functionality than AirPort Utility 6.0.
    If you still don't see the Guest Network tab, your AirPort is likely set up in Bridge Mode. It needs to be set up to Share a public IP address in order for the Guest Network option to appear.
    Click the Internet icon, then click the Internet Connection tab
    Check the setting for Connection Sharing
    You can keep both versions of AirPort Utility on your Mac, as it is not possible to remove AirPort Utility 6.0.

  • Attempted to install AirPort Utility 6.0 on my new mac mini. Install failed and now the previous version 5.5.3 won't open. I downloaded and tried to instal 6.0 without software update, which failed, and my old 5.5.3 AirPort Utility still won't open? Help.

    Now the previous version won't open. I downloaded and tried to instal 6.0 without software update, which failed, and my old 5.5.3 Airport Utility still won't open.
    iTunes no longer recognizes my airport express.
    Error Message:
    None of the selected updates could be installed.
    An unexpected error occurred.
    Can't delete Airport Utility and reinstal from scratch as it is, “AirPort Utility” can’t be modified or deleted because it’s required by Mac OS X.
    Any sugestions?

    I reinstalled AirPort 5.5.3 which worked, but the app still won't launch but iTunes now recognizes my AirPort Express, I just hope I don't want to change its settings.

  • How to configure NAT in latest AirPort Utility?

    Ok, where the heck did the NAT configuration section go in the latest AirPort Utility (I am running v6.1 under 10.7.4). It *used* to be under Network->NAT but it is now missing/hidden. Good times.
    Any help would be much appreciated!

    Hey Bob Timmons,
    I am running Mountain Lion (10.8.1) and airport utility 6.1. I am also trying to open up a port. I downloaded airport utility 5.6 like you mentioned but it won't let me install it because it says the discs are not compatible with that version. So I'm guessing 5.6 doesn't play nicely with Mountain Lion. Does that sound correct? Any help is appreciated.
    Sorry about the link to the photo instead of attaching it directly. It wouldn't let me attach it.

  • WDS and the Extreme + Extreme using latest airport utility.

    Hi everyone... checked out the latest airport utility? Couple of new features but one's annoying. I set up peoples networks and prefer to use Airports because of the ease and awesome raw power. (i used to use linksys WRT54GL's and dd-wrt or tomato)
    I need some of your help with this one.
    I would like to use 2 Extremes to WDS my house. It's long. I use the wizard on the first, then go back and manually set wireless options to WDS, add ID of remote, name remote then update.
    I go to remote, log in, set settings, WDS point to main, and thus create a whole nother network with the same name.
    as you know, the expresses "wizard" will allow you to extend by joining and updating both ways.
    if anyone can help me with the secret to unlocking WDS on AEBSn+AEBSn I will be forever grateful.

    I FOUND the answer to extreme + extreme WDS. You can't really do that. BUT WHAT YOU CAN DO...
    Set up your first airport extreme with wireless and a connection to your internet connection.
    go to the wireless tab on manual setup and "allow this network to be extended"
    check to see if you have any other errors to address then get online and bring up a web page.
    i prefer nebraskasheep.com but you can use google or whatnot
    ok, so then go to your other Extreme and join it.
    set it up manually. give it a name like homeremote or a unique name so they're easy to identify. I call mine main and remote or homeremote now that the airport utility remembers all your previous setups.
    go to the wireless tab, extend a wireless network, and wallah!
    done.

  • Have installed the latest Airport software update.  Still no wireless

    I was hoping that Apple would fix the can not connect to wireless problem, I installed the latest airport software update but still have the same problem. 10.4 works great but 10.5 will not connect.

    Mine is a long and sad story. I have ComCast cable connected from their modem to an Asanti 4 port router. Connections around our little office area are by ethernet. I then have one router port connected to an Apple snow airport. Out of the office area we use the wireless LAN. All of our PC laptops, our PC desk top and our MacBook Pro (running 10.4) will connect through the snow airport LAN when need-be. All of the aforementioned computers will connect to our city-wide free wireless network, Metro-fi Free. Everything works perfectly except my FW800 running 10.5. For now nothing is incripted. If I turn on my airport card I can see available 6 neighborhood wireless LANs, Metro-fi and the snow base station. I installed 10.4 in a separate HD and booted up. It connects perfectly which means my computer and airport card must be OK. The problem is in 10.5 for sure. I tried to check the update you are supposed to see when opening the airport utility but of course the utility says it can find no AirPort base station. I have reinstalled 10.5, run Diskwarrior and TechTool Pro and found no problems. If I did not have such a bunch of stuff in my system HD I would go back to 10.4. What have I overlooked??

  • Is there a capability to save/export the time capsule settings file when using the iphone/ipad airport utility. the "file" button does not exist on the latest airport utility app.

    is there a capability to save/export the new airport 2TB time capsule settings file when using the iphone/ipad airport utility. set-up wasn't a problem but the "file" button does not exist on the latest airport utility app v6.3 to save the configuration file.

    the "file" button does not exist on the latest airport utility app v6.3 to save the configuration file.
    Sounds like you are a bit confused with version numbers.
    Latest AirPort Utility version for the iPhone / iPad is 1.3.3.  There is no option or capability to export/import settings on the iOS version(s) of AirPort Utility.....although you could take a series of screen shots and save them for future reference.
    AirPort Utility 6.3.x is found on a Mac.....not on iPhone / iPad. Export and Import options are found under the File menu in 6.3.x.

  • New iOS7 update won't let me restrict iTunes radio/images for my kids. Help?

    The new iOS7 update won't let me restrict iTunes radio/images for my kids. I've never had this problem with Apple before. I've always had the ability to restrict the iTunes store, and anything else I needed to restrict. I'm not a religous nut, I just don't want my kids looking at some of that stuff. I'm really disappointed with this feature. If anybody has any help I would appreciate it! Switching music to clean only blocks music, not album covers and artist pictures. I've always loved the parent friendly features of Apple. I hope they fix this soon! My family loves Apple, and I don't want to have to switch!

    Hi. Yes I've looked all through restrictions and there is nothing that will block it. This is weird. Apple usually always thinks of this stuff. Usually they provide ways to both choose a parental level or block it from being used all together. I can't do either. On some of my devices I want to restrict what I'm seeing/hearing from iTunes radio but on some I want to block it all together. I've been all through restrictions and there is no option for either.

  • What happened to my airport extreme that airport utility says used to be part of my network but no longer is found?

       I have been working on regaining wireless printing from my MacBook and just discovered something new to me. I brought up Airport Utility and received a screen display showing my network. The diagram box for the Airport Extreme  has a warning icon and clicking on the diagram box for the Airport Extreme  brings up the message that my airport extreme cannot be found and that it USED TO BE part of my network.  The only help given is to check the device and make sure it is plugged into power, within range and connected to the Internet.  Its been a long time since I last set up the Airport Extreme, but it is powered up, in the same place and connected to my cable modem as before.  I continue to  have wireless connection to the Internet from my MacBook and iPhone. What I do not have is wireless connection from the the MacBook to my Brother Printer as I did until, for unknown reasons, it stopped working.
    So far, I have checked all the help for the printer problem and wonder if my problem is in the Airport Extreme?  The printer does find the Airport Extreme, but still does not print wirelessly, only by attaching it with USB cable to the MacBook.
    Resetting the Airport Extreme will wipe out that setup, but should I do this anyway?  Might it help the printer problem.
    Thanks for your help. I've worked on this a long time using available material. 

        I see now that long questions are not going to be read and answered.  Understandable.  Since writing this I got help on one aspect of question and now have Airport Extreme visible through Airport Utility and it seems to work.   However the wireless printer still does print. On the printer's screen, it recognizes my wireless network and connects. When I try to print from the MacBook, the usual printer icon comes up, but with Printer is Offline.  Printer is Not Connected.  So far, nothing in Apple or Brother help has given me answer to this problem.  Any ideas would be appreciated.

  • TextEdit won't let me rename duplicated .html files as a .html file (manually typing it) either in the Finder or the Title Bar by selecting Rename or Save.

    TextEdit won't let me rename duplicated .html files as a .html file (manually typing it) either in the Finder or the Title Bar by selecting Rename or Save.
    I am only able to rename a duplicated .html file right after I create it, because the file name gets highlighted in the Title Bar, but after that there is no recourse. I I can Rename or Save the file if I want to just save it as a .txt, but I need it to be .html. I guess I can manually change the file later, but it's really annoying.

    I remember long ago a similar issue with TextEdit, but I can't remember if there was a solution or not.
    Do you have it set to Display HTML files as HTML code and also deselect "When Saving a File: Add ".txt" extension to plain text files"

    The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.
    If you bought the product in the U.S. directly from Apple (not from a reseller), you have 14 days from the date of delivery in which to exchange or return it for a refund. In other countries, the return policy may be different. If you bought from a reseller, its return policy applies.

  • Airport extreme utility update won't install

    any reason why i can't install the latest version of airport extreme utility? i have installed it 3 times, and each time, when I go into my utilities folder, the old version of airport admin utility is there, with no update.

    That doesn't make any sense unless you somehow got it in a different place than it normally downloads.
    It should be under HD/Applications/Utilities/Airport Utility.
    You can also try using finder to locate it.
    I vaguely remember one other person having a similar problem but I think he caused his own problem and then could not correct.

  • Are you having problems with Windows XP Pro and Airport Utility Updates?

    I was having problems with my wireless laptop setting up my Bonjour Printer. I checked to make sure I had downloaded the latest updates to Airport Utility and Bonjour. Check. After doing this I noticed I couldn't see my Airport Extreme through the Airport Utility. After much frustration and bringing my entire network crashing down around me, I got help from a knowledgeable guy from Cox Cable in San Diego. He helped me get my trusty iMac Power PC online. It saw my Airport Extreme but no answers were forthcoming in any forums about my XP issues. Here is what finally solved my problem. I uninstalled all Airport Utility and Bonjour Programs. I then went back to Airport Utility 5.3.1 for Windows. It installs Bonjour Printer services with this download. Everything is working perfectly again. I have my Canon Pixma MP500 connected to the USB port on my AEBS and Bonjour walked right through the setup process. I suggest that if this works for you, turn off all Airport Utility and AEBS firmware updates until you see that whatever issue Apple created with these updates gets fixed.

    Well... it worked! :D
    I'm pretty sure the extra 512 memory stick was the problem, that would explain why it was being inconsistent with its type of failures before. I'm going to reinstall it later and run memtest86 and try and see if i can get it to work at all somehow without causing problems, cuz 1.5 was already low enough...
    DryHeat, yeah it was with SP2 but I got it installed now so no worries
    Thanks a lot!
