Old airport not support mountain lion

After upgrade to mountain lion, my old airport could not be used any more because it is supported by airport tools 5.6.1 only. does it mean I should scrap the old one and buy new one?

AirPort Utility 5.6.1 will run on Mountain Lion, but you will need to use a workaround to install it.

Configuring old airport express with mountain lion

I have a new 2nd Gen airport express base station and would like to configure my old airport express to extend my network to hook up to the stereo in my living room. I run Mountain Lion on my MacBook Pro, and it says the software I need is Airport Utility 5.6 to do this. I downloaded 5.6 for Lion, but it says I can't even install it to my HD. Is there a version for Mountain Lion?
If not, is there a way to configure?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

My MacBook Pro does not support Mountain Lion. How can I download Lion?

I was waiting to update my MacBook Pro until after Mountain Lion came out. It turns out my Mac is not supported. Is there a way to buy Lion? I can't seem to find it on the App store.

call 1-800-697-7753 or 1-800-676-2775 and ask for sales. After you pay the $29 they will send you a link with instructions on how to download it.

Since I have learned my late 2007 Macbook 3,1 will not support Mountain Lion, what is the best way to upgrade from 10.6.8 to 10.7 Lion?

Can I download the latest version of Lion from Apple. I have heard that if I call Apple Sales support I can still get Lion from Apple. Lastly, what about Lion via the Thumb USB?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Correct. Call Apple to purchase OS X Lion > http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57 If you want the OS X Lion USB Thumb Drive, you will have to search it in Amazon or eBay. Make sure that the USB drive is white with a grey Apple logo.
Then, make a backup of your data before upgrading, and check that your applications are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com After checking everything, you can upgrade to OS X Lion

I recently bought a WD My Book Live to backup using Time Machine, now that I've upgraded to and my old NAS won't support Mountain Lion. The WD drive appears in the Finder, it doesn't appear as an option when setting up the backup disc in Time Machine.

" now that I've upgraded to and my old NAS won't support Mountain Lion. "
Do you have a few words missing in the original question ?.
When i upgraded from LION to MOUNTAIN LION it made NO difference at all to my MyBook Live !!!
reading the original post again and again, do you in fact have two My Book Live units, an old one and a new one ?

There is nothing to overcome, your mac is too old to run Mountain Lion. For an iMac it must be a (Mid 2007 or newer) http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/

I have OS X 10.5.8 and I want to upgrade, but not to Mountain Lion.

I have OS X 10.5.8 and I want to upgrade, but not to Mountain Lion. How do I upgrade to Leopard or snow leopard?

Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard — Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
           terms apply.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service — this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
     OS X Mountain Lion — System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) —
             Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 2,1 or later
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         7. Xserve (Early 2009) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
Are my applications compatible?

Come si configura airport express con mountain lion?

Qualcuno sa come configurare o aggiornare airport express su mountain lion? Quando apro l'utility mi dice che questa versione non è supportata. Ho bisogno di un aggiornamento? Please help me!

From Cult of Mac:
"It’s simple: the secret sauce that Apple requires to make AirPlay Mirroring work is on-GPU H.264 encoding, or the ability to compress video on your device’s actual graphic chips without calling upon the CPU.
It’s not just Macs that can’t use AirPlay Mirroring if they are older than 2011: even on the iOS side of things, you need a minimum of an iPhone 4S or an iPad 2 to use AirPlay Mirroring on your Apple TV. Why? Because older iOS devices don’t have on-GPU H.264 encoding either."
I am not sure how this doesn't "make scence." To be honest, I don't necessarily disagree with the two of you - Apple should have been more transparent in their release notes when specifying which computers are capable of AirPlay mirroring with Mountain Lion. I guess I felt like I got burned by Apple back in 2005 when I bought an iPod Nano right after they released it and then they had the "One More Thing" unveiling of the new color iPod that played video, which I would have bought instead. I realized at that point that it wasn't really going to be feasible to have all the "latest and greatest" of Apple's products without constantly breaking the bank.

Microsoft apps are not supported by Lion?

Is it true microsoft apps are not supported by Lion? I just upgraded and now I'm getting a message my microsoft apps are no longer available. Any upgrades to bring them online?

You have Office 2004 and that won't run on Lion. You have three options:
1. Upgrade to Office 2008 or 2011
2. Download the free Office suite Libreoffice
3. Buy Apple's 'Numbers' (for spreadsheets), 'Keynote' (for Powerpoint) and/or 'Pages' (for word processing) programs from the App store.
A fourth option would be to revert to Snow Leopard.

Keyword search in Apple Notes on Mountain Lion?

Hi friends. I hope someone can enlighten me and help put some faith back into Apple's software development.
Does anyone know how to do a keyword search in Apple Notes on Mountain Lion?? I know that sounds completely stupid but let me explain...
In the top left corner there is a search field. When I enter a keyword it searches all the notes, and in the left hand pain it filters the notes that have the keyword in them. It doesn't actually show me *where" the keyword appears, it only shows the notes that *contain* them. It's just a filter, not a search. Try it for yourself.
It would be like doing a keyword search in a PDF, and it only tell you which pages it appears on, rather than where on the page. It is completely useless.
I fail to believe the program would be this limited. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? Please no suggestions to go find another note program. I need notes for particular reasons.

This behavior makes complete sense to me. If I designed it, I would do it exactly the same way.
Here's why: Notes are not expected to be treatises. They are expected to be reasonably short. You should easily be able to find the search target in your relatively brief note.
Nonetheless, if you fee like you'd like to ask Apple for this feature, here's how to supply feedback to Apple:

Export (Backup) Notes in Mountain Lion?

Dear Apple Community,
is there any possiblity to export the notes in mountain lion?
On Lion I could export the notes!

William Lloyd wrote:
Your notes are stored in a Core Data database.
The location is ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.Notes/Library/Notes/
There are 2 or 3 files in there, called NotesV1.storedata (stuff).
Note on Mountain Lion, that the ~/Library folder is hidden by default which explains why you can't see it.
There is no way that I'm aware of to do mass import or export of notes from within the Notes application. However, Notes is AppleScriptable so you could write an AppleScript that would do it. This obviously requires knowing enough AppleScript to do it.
You can Google for something like "Notes.app" "mountain lion" "import" and find stuff, like this:
http://macscripter.net/viewtopic.php?id=39166
That's to import. You could reverse the script to export stuff.
You have got to be kidding!!!!
I looked at the page you reference.
One of the biggest selling points for me to get an apple was that I could use time machine to recuperate "lost" items.
This is WAY too complicated!!
Any easier solutions?
Thanks

Notes in Mountain Lion with images

I created notes on Mountain Lion and they sync with my iPad/iPhone. However notes on Mountain Lion that contain images dont sync, the note sync but the images dont.
Is there a way to fix this? Is this part of iOS 6?

This is normal. For the moment. IOS notes should show a paperclip instead of an image. For images to sync you have to wait for IOS6.
