Old Airport Utility sees Express, New does not

Hey,
New Airport Express. Comes with old Utility on CD. My son's MacBook that hadn't updated to 5.3 easily sees my express but my other 2 macs that had updated to 5.3 couldn't see it. I configured with my son's old Utility and instantly, the other 2 Mac's saw the express. APPLE THERE MAY BE A PROBLEM WITH THE LAST UPDATE. Thank goodness my son hadn't updated yet.

There is a 5.3.1 update that may resolve this issue. Check it out. Let us know what happens.
Peace

  • How do I tell what version airport express I have?  Airport Utility says this version does not support this base station.  What to do, how to update?

    I tried to add an older airport express to my network that I had not been using.  It shows up in Airport Utility but Airport Utility says that this version of Airport Utility Dies not support this base station.   I am running airport utility V6.3.4 on a mac mini running OS X 10.10.  Not sure which airport express it is, nor how to check.  I assume I need a firmware upgrade on the Airport Express, but not sure how to do this without Airport Utility.  I tried to download an older version of Airport Utility, but could not install because it does not support OS X 10.10   Any ideas other than throwing a perfectly good airport express away?

    Don't throw the AE away. It is still very useful as I have both the old & new each work well (sometimes the sound keeps dropping out but I think that has to do with the wirless settings!!!)
    You need Airport Utility 5.6.1 which works in 10.10 - I managed to download a .dmg from the net but not sure how I could get it to you.
    The new utility doesn't support  the old AEs unfortunately which I have and Apple have no intention of allowing a utility that will cover all
    AEs.
    Try and get a version 5.6.1.

  • 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.

  • Airport Utility Timed Access Control does not allow/restrict access to wireless clients per the time set.

    I have been trying to setup Timed Access Control in Airport Utility and it does not seem to be working correctly. 
    In Airport Utility from Edit Timed Access Control I Enter a name for my device (iPad/iPhone any device), enter my mac address, set time for Everyday and use default Between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM, save and then update. When I go to my device iPad iPhone etc. I still have access even when it is after the time set, 5:00PM.  If I set no access it will restrict access also I set a time between 2:00 PM and 5:00 PM and access was restricted.  It doesnt seem to matter what the device is.  I know that the MAC Adress is set correctly.  It seems like an issue with the Utility, possibly time miss match or something.  Not sure if I am missing something or if this Utility just has flaws. Please Help.

    I changed the default to (no access) and set an entry for my test device (an iPad) to "Everyday Between 9am to 5pm.  The iPad was still able to gain access to the network. 
    Something else to note, if I try to edit the time of an entry it gives me an error on my MBP "Invalid value", "The value for “Timed Access Control” is invalid."  This happens even if I delete a digit (number or letter in the time field) and replace with the exact same. Not sure if the two are related. I have tried to edit access from my iPad.  I don't get any errors but I still don't get the expected results.  I called Apple to try and get Tech support but they were not much help. Thanks again.

  • Airport Utility 6.3.1 does not recognize Airport Extreme 7.6.4

    Running OS 10.8.5. Message "This version of AirPort Utility doesn't support this base station. Go to AirPort Service...for more info" pops up. My wireless internet networks are fine but I am trying to network a printer and a few other mobile devices and I need to use the AirPort Utility.  Anyone have an answer for me?  I believe I am running on the latest for what is necessary and am not sure why this is happening.

    I have the 5th generation airport extreme model.

  • Airport network form time capsule does not see airport express

    Hello,
    I'm rather new, bought my first apple few days ago, it's great. Have been throwing away years by using the blue screen machines
    I now have mac mini, today i bought time capsule and an airport express.
    time capsule to make my network and the airport express to connect my stereo.
    Important: I have no internet connection yet, it will be installed in 10 days.
    for now i use a mobile phone connection on the mac mini.
    I installed time capsule. time machine works and airport is in the air.
    With airport utility i can see the time capsule, but nothing else.
    it has been there for a short time, but then time capsule was gone.
    i can not find the utility to start installing airport express all over. Maybe i gave the wrong WPA2 password with the first install, but can not find the software to try again.
    I placed the a.expr within 1 meter of time capsule for this test.
    led of time capsule is green, led of a.expr is amber blinking.
    I did a reset of the a.express, no response.
    I downloaded the latest a.express client, no difference.
    airport is still on. it does not see the a.express.
    how to proceed?
    Is it only possible ONCE to setup a.express the right way? I remember answering questions which i can not find anymore.
    Sorry for the long story,
    hope you can help,
    Rik

    oh oh oh oh........ :O
    Found it.... before i connected the a.express with time capsule by a wire....does not help!
    Solution is to make this wire connection between a.express and mac, then it's possible to reconfigure.
    After this wire everything worked in 5 minutes.
    Anyway.... thanks for reading...

  • Trying to reconnect airport express to time machine but express not showing up in base station.  unfortunately clicked forgot in airport utility and express no longer shows up.  how to reconnect?

    I would recommend setting the wireless encryption on the AirPort Express BEFORE configuring it for the AirPort Extreme in this case. This issue also comes up often when configuring AirPorts into a WDS.
    If setting up security in my recommend order does not work, temporarily connect the Express by Ethernet to the Extreme; make the security changes, and then, move the Express back to the desired location.

  • I just replaced my airport extreme and now the amber light on my airport express is flashing and so it is not being recognized.  I have been on the computer and gone to airport utility and it is simply not showing up at all.  What can I do?

    I just replaced my airport extreme and now the amber light on my airport express is blinking.  When I go to utilities and try to find the airport express it does not show up.
    What should I do?

    Anytime you change networking hardware it is always a good idea to perform a complete power recycle of that hardware. Check out the following AirPort User Tip for details. Please post back your results.

  • Airport utility only shows disc and not airplay

    airport utility only shows disc and not airplay

    Actually......IF......one is using an older 5.x version of AirPort Utility......AND.....an AirPort Express, a Music icon is displayed at the top of the screen. If you click the Music icon, there are settings to enable AirPlay and establish a password for the service.
    The newer Mac 6.x and iPad and iPhone versions of AirPort Utility automatically enable AirPlay, but display no settings for this.
    Since ralphington is using Mavericks (10.9.4), there are no controls for AirPlay displayed in his version of AirPort Utility.

  • After upgrading to Airport Utility 6.3 Netflix will not load

    After upgrading to Airport Utility 6.3 Netflix will not load more than 20 % of any movie. I get an error code N8202 from the netflix website but nothing seems to help.
    Does anyone experience the same thing? (And does anyone have suggestions how to solve the problem)?

    Hi and thanks for the feedback.
    Well, that was why I was puzzled in the first place, but Netflix couldn't find any flaws in their system (I tried the suggestions in the link Shawn Grinter 2 posted (thanks to you as well, Shawn)).
    But today everything is perky and running smooth without me doing anything about it.
    Stranger than fiction, but thanks again for taking time helping!
    regards,

  • How can I transfer the music in my old Ipod classic to a new Ipod, not only the Itunes purchases?

    How can I transfer the music in my old Ipod classic to a new Ipod (not only the Itunes purchases)?

    You'll need to copy the music from the old iPod back to iTunes first before you can transfer it to your new iPod. See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.
