Need help with installing old version of firmware

I would like to revert to an old version of firmware for my Airport Extreme base station. I have read in a number of postings that this would possibly help with the problem of my Canon Pixma ip3000 not working after the firmware was usdated. When I tried to install the old firmware, the Installer would not allow it, there was just a message that the software was up to date. Could anyone please give a step by step description of how this can be done? Is there a way around the Installer? Thanks.

The firmware supplied with the base station was 4.1. After installing it, everything worked just fine, including wireless printing to a Canon Pixma ip3000. At one point, after being prompted by a message onscreen to upgrade to 4.2, I did the download and installation, and that is when all the problems started. No wireless printing, and I can't seem to use the Airport Admin or Assistant (not responding). Since then I have also upgraded the OS to 10.4.5.
I am trying to downgrade to 4.1 since that is what worked initially and what was suggested in another posting I read.
I did look at the information for the various parts of Airport and noticed that the Setup Asistant is 4.2, the Admin Utility is 4.2 and the base station is 5.5.1. Could this be affecting the problem as well?
I will try downgrading using the link you provided. Thanks very much.

  • Installing Elements 11 on Mac. Need help with install error "Setup wants to make changes."

    Installing Elements 11 on Mac 10.8.2. Need help with install error:  Setup wants to make changes. Type your password to allow this."  After entering Adobe password, nothing happens.  Locked from further installation.  Any ideas?  Adobe phone support could not help.

    Just before letting changes (installation in this case) be made on the system, Mac OS prompts for password & this has to be the Mac system password. This password prompt is the system's own native prompt & would accept the system password only. Please make sure it is the right system password (all/admin rights) and the installaion should run.

  • Need help with Installing Canon LBP 2900B on Macbook Pro OSX 10.6.8

    I know this is going to sound silly, but really need help with this, URGENTLY!!!
    Bought a Canon LBP2900B printer more than a year ago, and was using it on my MacBook Pro with OSX Snow Leopard (10.6.8) very well. My hard disk recently crashed and now I cannot reinstall the printer, nor can I find the driver for it anywhere for the Mac.
    Have searched all the forums and followed all discussion threads on the Apple Communities as well, but none of the solutions seem to work. Even went back to @Dexter's solution with trying to download the file from the link http://boolet.free.fr/CAPT.zip (this is what I had done when I bought the printer, and it worked perfectly) but the link doesn't exist anymore.
    Extremely grateful if anyone can put up a solution to this, or alternatively, IF ANYONE HAS THE OLD CAPT.ZIP FILE AND CAN UPLOAD IT.
    Thanks in advance. Look forward to your solutions.
    Cheers

    Depends on how the partitons are arranged. If they're exactly as quoted, then yes.
    Open Disk Utility and select the partition tab.
    In the diagram, the top partition needs to be the one you're booted from, and partition 2 the middle one.
    Select Partiton 2 so that it's highlighted, and click the '-' button below the diagram.
    Drag the bottom right corner of partition 1 down to meet partition 3.

  • Need help with installing Yahoo style flash menu CS5

    I downloaded the Yahoo style menu bar from the the available widgets.  I got the menu bar to show in Dreamweaver, but need help:
    I have trouble understanding how to use the f-source  flash editor to edit the links.
    I don't seem to be able to drop the  f-source.com button from the menu bar.
    The bar  shows up as a tiny bar in IE8, not as I had programmed it in the widget programmer.
    I was instructed to Insert ==> f-source menus ==> Edit menu in Dreamweaver.  Doing this leads to the following message: "Install at least one f-source menu'.  I did install the f-source-UI G file in the Adobe Extension Manager CS5.  What else needs to be installed?  
    My OS is Windows7 and I am working with Dreamweaver CS5.  Please help.
    Thanks,

    Flash menus (Flash navigation, period) is a terrible thing from a functional standpoint. It looks really nice, but the honeymoon ends there. As far as SEO goes, your entire site, beyond the landing page, is invisible. A search robot will only see an embeded Flash object.
    You have to ask yourself a basic question.
    1. What is the purpose of building a website and putting it online?
    If it's for your own personal enjoyment and nothing more, then a Flash menu may be for you. If it's for a business or band, or a political group or social group, and you want people to be able to find it in Google, Yahoo, Bing, etc. then you want as many indexible links as possible on your landing page so they will show up in related searches like schedules, articles, galleries, etc.

  • Need help unregistering an old version of PSE

    I need to install PSE 6, but it is currently showing as being registered on two now-dead computers. After going through phone and online chat, I find out that support is only available through the forums. Can someone remove the registration?

    First of all are you getting any sort of error to stop you from installing it? PSE 6 mostly didn't have activation, so if you haven't tried, do so.
    If you did get one of the few copies with activation, go here:
    Activation & Deactivation Help
    Scroll down to Still need help? Contact us. You want activation support, not regular tech support, for this.

  • I need help with my ichat (version 2.0 I believe)

    I have an ibook G4 with Mac 10.3.9. I accidentally deleted my ichat application (version 2.0) I believe and now can't find a download for that, nor can I download the new version 2.1 since there is no 2.0 found in my applications. What can I do? Is there a 2.0 download out there?

    Hi Chad,
    Welcome to the Apple Discussion Pages
    You need this FAQ Ryan M., "I've deleted iChatAV 2.x - Can I get it back?", 05:36pm Dec 1, 2004 CDT
    For this you will need your Panther install Disks (and the download of Pacifist).
    There is no download of iChat 2.0 The iChat 2.1 is an update of this to download and install.

  • Need help with Installing Flash 9

    First off, let me apologize if this is in the wrong forum, I couldn't really find a forum for my specific need.
    I was running Flash 8 just fine, but then a video requested that I update to Flash 9, because that's the only way the video would play.
    So I tried installing the PPC version, and right at the last file it needs to finish installing a window pops up saying "ERROR CREATING FILE, 1008:5,-5000 Access denied error."
    Now all flash files won't work on my browser.

    Did you enable "root user" according to "Mac Help" or did you set up a new user in the system preferences? If you did it according to Mac Help, then Flash should have been installed correctly. Did you try the other option first? That option, if it worked, would have installed Flash into the current user. How many different users do you have?
    Post back if you still need help, maybe someone else will pick up on this that is better than I am about such problems.
    Sorry that I haven't been much help.

  • I need help with the upgraded version of Garage Band '11.  Its totally different.

    I am incredibly frustrated with the newest version of Garage Band.  I am a choreographer and constantly need to edit music.  The work I do is very simple.  Just cutting sections of music to make the songs shorter.  I have been using Garage Band for years with total ease.  I used to be able to just highlight a section of music and click delete.  Now all that does is either stretch out all the timing or delete the whole track.  I need simple cut edits.  PLEASE HELP!!!  The help sections do not help at all!

  • Need help with installing drivers

    I recently installed Windows 7 Professional and have been having trouble with installing the drivers necessary for sound, USB, graphics, etc. I have the Windows drivers on an external drive, but the OS won't recognize an external drive because it needs the drivers to do so. My Macbook came with OS X 10.6 installed, but I have since upgraded to 10.7 through the App Store. I believe I can use my 10.6 factory DVD to install drivers on the Windows side, but if I have 10.7 installed, will it work right? I'm confused

    IME driver is one of the very most important. TPM is only needed if you plan on using it. If you don't know what it is, then probably don't need it.
    Quote
    Please tell me in detail what drivers do what functions and which ones need to install ?
    Most of them are pretty self explanatory. Unless you set the SATA controller to AHCI mode when the OS was installed, RST isn't going to do much.
    Like Henry said. Everything is on the install disc that came with the mainboard you need, including the ones you don't need. It's even got a 'total install' selection.
