Lost connection to one of my Airport express units. Serial number 44500WQV0. Message in Airport Utility is to use Version 5.6 to configure base station. I have version 6.3.1. Both airport express units bought at same time few years ago.

Hello all.
Lost my connection to one of two airport express units. Both purchased few years ago. Use them to stream music to house speakers via WiFi. I have v6.3.1 of Airport Utility. Message says to use v5.6 to reconfigure this base station.
How do I do that, please?

You can use the following workaround to install AirPort Utility 5.6 on a Lion or Mountain Lion Mac:
Be sure to read the caveats at the end.
Lion / Mountain Lion's package installer will refuse to install superseded versions of AirPort Utility. Instead you will need to use a package extractor such as Pacifist or unpkg. Pacifist is shareware, unpkg is free.
Download Pacifist here: http://www.charlessoft.com/
Download unpkg here: http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
Download AirPort Utility 5.6 here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
When the AirPort Utility .dmg file finishes downloading, open it to expand and reveal the AirPortUtility56.pkg package installer file.
Directions for Pacifist (I do not have screenshots for unpkg but the idea is similar):
Open Pacifist and from its File menu, navigate to the package and open it.
Click the "reveal triangles" until you see AirPort Utility 5.6.app:
Select it and then click Install from Pacifist's toolbar. It will then be installed in your Utilities folder, and you can quit Pacifist.
The most recent version of AirPort Utility included with Mountain Lion should be used to configure 802.11n - capable AirPort Base Stations. Make no attempt to delete it. It and the older version (which will bear the unique name "AirPort Utility 5.6") can peacefully coexist. Use the older version only as necessary for older AirPort Base Stations that cannot be administered any other way.
If you happen to have an archived copy of the AU 5.6 app somewhere, such as a Time Machine backup or equivalent, you can simply restore it or drag the app to your Mountain Lion system's Utilities folder instead of resorting to the above procedure. It will run without complaint. It is only the package installer that is the problem.
Keep in mind that Apple's decision to abandon support for the original AirPort Express and AEBS was for reasons known only to them. Remember that you are using obsolete equipment, should some future OS X feature not work for you.

  • Music bought from iTunes a few years ago won't play on iPhone 4s

    I've found that certain tracks that I bought from iTunes a few years back, all protected MPEG-4 audio files, won't play on my iPhone 4s. They play fine in iTunes on my computer, but when the track comes up on my iPhone it will simply run through the time of the song but no music will play. In some cases, I've had two versions of a song by the same name and it played the wrong version of the song with the correct name and album cover.
    I've tried resetting the phone, as well as taking all the music off of it and resyncing it. Nothing seems to work. Will restoring the phone really help? This problem first arose after I updated my iPhone to 5.1.1.

    I bought an iPhone 5 and could not add music to it. Same problem: grey songs. After hours searching forums and blogs I found this solution. Works for me! Now I manually add songs using iTunes and no problem. Hope it helps.
    1. Download and install iExplorer http://www.macroplant.com/iexplorer/
    2. Plug in device first, then open iExplorer
    3. Delete the iPhone\Media\iTunes_Control folder (you may want to copy this, just in case)
    4. Restart the iPhone / iPad
    5. Start iTunes. Not restore iPhone from back up, select New iPhone (don't worry, you will not lost apps or data on your iPhone doing this)
    6. Add music manually with iTunes

  • I bought photoelements 7 a few years ago, now I want to use and can not. i don't want to upgrade

    I purchased Photo elements 7 a few years ago and it is sufficient for my needs. but now i can not get into the program, I have account number and password. i am not interested in upgrading to version 12

    In your Adobe A/c did you look under 'My Orders.? That's where you'll find the download link.
    If it's not there, you can download PSE7 from a link in the comments here - http://prodesigntools.com/direct-download-links-for-lightroom-3-and-photoshop-elements-8.h tml/comment-page-1#comment-2186. Make sure you also read the linked instructions. Follow those very important instructions EXACTLY or you will likely encounter authorisation errors or download the latest version instead.
    You will still need your serial number.  You should be able to findthis  in your Adobe A/c under 'My Products'.

    The Utility transferred all of the AE's settings, so I still have to change the password, which leaves me with only 2 other questions, I think:
    1)  I assume it's just a matter of using the Utility, entering a stronger password and checking for it to be remembered in Keychain Access.  But do I have to  change the password for each individual unit-- the TC, the Extreme and both Expresses-- or will changing it just for the TC alone work for the entire network?
    Resetting the password you will need to do for each device... the utility cannot even see those old units.
    So you will have to do it for each one.. think it through.. because as you change passwords the others will lose connection.. so start from the express which are wireless extending .. change those first.. and go back up the chain.. as each one changes it will drop off the network.. until you reach extreme and change that. Then you might need to reboot the whole network to get everything talking again. If something goes wrong.. just pluck that one out of the mix and plug in ethernet.. reset and redo the setup. That is my preferred method anyway.. do everything in isolation one by one. By ethernet and then nothing goes wrong.
    2)  Who's the treasonous SOB who spilled the beans to you about the ICBM in my back yard?!?
    N.Korean hackers.
    [Edit] Whoops-- one more question:  I want to partition the TC's disk, but Disk Utility doesn't see it.  What do I need to do?
    You cannot partition a network disk. And apple provided no tools for it in the TC itself. You can pull the disk out and partition it but that voids your warranty. (although done with care who is to know).
    Look at Q3 here.

    Mixing TM and data on the TC is worth planning carefully. They don't necessarily sit happily together.

  • Use one external harddrive on both pc and mac at the same time

    i bought an iomega external harddrive today
    can i use it on both mac and pc at the same times?
    for ex:
    when i plug in both computer
    i could able to read and write on the hdd on both computer
    since i format it into 4 partitions (2 journal and 2 doc)
    so i wish i can use them separately in 2 computers

    Hi Jerry_L and welocme to Discussions,
    using such USB or Firewire connected external harddrives with two computers at the same time is usually not recommended by the manufacturer.
    Doing so might lead to data-loss and the like.
    Check with the manual of that harddisk to verify.
    Using it with one computer at a time with your partitioning should be doable.
    Regards

  • I want to open a folder in a separate window by clicking on it.  For some reason when I click on a folder it just replaces the one I was just in.  I want them both to be open at the same time without having to go through several steps.

    I want to open a folder in a separate window by clicking on it.  For some reason when I click on a folder it just replaces the one I was just in.  I want them both to be open at the same time without having to go through several steps. Old apple operating systems made it easy to have several folders open at one time. 

    Eric, thanks that works but seems like an extra added step also to do it that way.  I've got to move and organize a ton of files and I'm looking for a easy way to get this done.  I could also open the folder into a separate tab and then drag the tab out so it becomes an open window but thats a lot of fussing around also with extra steps.  Not sure why these newer operating system seems more confusing and less user friendly than what they used to.  In the past I could just click on any folder and it would open in a separate window making it really easy to copy or move files from one place to the other just by simply dragging them from one window to the other.  Seems like I'm going through several extra steps now to do a simple task. 

  • Can we use both INSERT and UPDATE at the same time in JDBC Receiver

    Hi All,
    I would like to know is it possible to use both INSERT and UPDATE at the same time in one interface because I have a requirement in which I have to perform both the task.
    user send the file which contains both new and old record and I need to save those in MS SQL database.
    If the record exist then use UPDATE otherwise use INSERT.
    I looked on sdn but didn't find any blog which perform both the things at the same time.
    Interface Requirement
    FILE -
    > PI -
    > JDBC(INSERT & UPDATE)
    I am thinking to use JDBC Lookup but not sure if it good to use for bulk record.
    Can somebody please suggest me something or send me the link of any blog or anything to solve this problem.
    Thanks,

    Hi ,
              If I have understood properly the scenario properly,you are not performing insert and update together. As you posted
    "If the record exist then use UPDATE otherwise use INSERT."
    Thus you are performing either an insert or an update which depends on outcome of a search if the records already exist in database or not. Obviously to search the tables you need " select * from ...  where ...." query. If your query returns some results you proceed with update since this means there are some old records already in database. If your query returns no rows  you proceed with "insert into tablename....." since there are no old records present in database.
      Now perhaps the best method to do the searching, taking a decision to insert or update, and finally insert or update operation is to be done by a stored procedure in MS SQL database.  A stored procedure is a subroutine available to applications accessing a relational database system. Here the application is PI server.   If you need further help on how to write and call stored procedure in MS SQL you can look into these links
    http://www.daniweb.com/web-development/databases/ms-sql/threads/146829
    http://www.sqlteam.com/article/stored-procedures-parameters-inserts-and-updates
    [ This part you can ignore, Since its not sure that you will face this situation
        Still you might face some problems while your scenario runs. Lets consider this scenario, after the stored procedure searches the database it found no rows. Thus you proceed with an insert operation. If your database table is being accessed by multiple applications (or users) other than yours then it is very well possible that after the search operation completed with a null result, an insert/update operation has been performed by some other application with the same primary key. Now when you are trying to insert another row with same primary key you get an error message like "duplicate entry not possible for same primary key value". Thus you need to be careful in this respect. MS SQL has a feature called "exclusive locks ". Look into these links for more details on the subject

        There must be other methods to avoid this problem. But the point is you need to be sure that all access to database for insert/update operations are isolated.

    hi, the app is not "shared", it works as if you bought the app twice with different accounts, only you paid it once. they should have 2 different villages since they're on 2 different devices.

  • Can the USB-8451 run both I2C & SPI Interfaces at the same time?

    I have an 8451 on the way and initially will be developing a driver for our product using the SPI I/F.  I am also developing a test setup that will use the I2C I/F and need to know if 1 8451 will handle both at the same time or will I have to re-configure each I/F when I need to use it if I have only 1 8451 in the system? 
    The SPI driver will communicate with our product & the I2C I/F will communicate with the test fixture...
    TIA

    Well, you may be only able to open 1 VISA session to the 8451, but that doesn't mean you cant use both SPI and I2C at the same time.  I guess it depends on what your definition of "same time" is.
    I have a project that uses 4 SPI channels and the I2C using a single OEM 8451 simultaneously without having to create a new session for each use.  Just create and store (I do it as class data) the visa session handle and create and store all your channel references.  Each channel you create does not need its own VISA session.   I access the 8451 from several different VIs asynchronously without any problem.  The VISA protocol will sort out coincident requests.
    Buying a seperate 8451 should definitely not be required

  • Can I setup my P1606dn to eprint both Mac and PC at the same time?

    Can I setup my P1606dn to eprint both Mac and PC at the same time?

    Hi Poindexter65,
    There is no setup involved to ePrint from a computer.  So, the answer is yes.  All you need to do in order to ePrint, is send an email (attaching whatever you wish to print) to the printer's email address.
    Here is a link with more information about ePrint and specifications for attachment types, file sizes, etc.:  https://h30495.www3.hp.com/help#eprint
