Unable to open airport utility on Windows 7

I'm unable to open Airport Utility on my Windows 7 laptop because I keep getting an error message saying Airport Utility requires Windows 7 service pack 1 or later. SP1 was already installed. I tried deleting and reinstalling SP1 and Airport Utility still won't open. Any ideas on how to fix this?

This can happen when the Airport Utility installation download can't find an authentication file - short of doing a clean install of Windows 7, try the following:
1. Delete any old Windows folders if Windows 7 was an upgrade
2. Turn off anti-virus programs
3. Turn off the Windows Firewall
4. Delete any partial installations of the AU that may be present
If the above does not work then try to download the previous version of the AU 5.5.3 at http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1391

Error when opening Airport Utility for Windows XP

Help! I have recently purchased and Airport extreme base station and the supplied Airport Utility software will not open. I am operating on Windows XP pro, and have installed the latest software updates to no avail. Is there an older version or perhaps an oblique solution to run the utility software?
Thanks.

Hello jleo325. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Here are the links for the last two versions of the AirPort Utility for Windows:
o AirPort Utility Setup 5.3.2 for Windows
o AirPort Utility 5.3.1 for Windows

Cannot Open AirPort Utility

When I try to open AirPort Utility, I get a window that says:
You can't open the application "AirPort Utility" because it is not supported on this architectre.
What do I need to do to open this or whats the reason why I cannot open it?

Did you upgrade to Leopard on an Intel processor and import your applications and setting from a PPC processor?
Have you run any optimization software that could have removed the Intel code from an application because you were running a PPC machine?
You can use a program like pacifist to install individual applications from the Leopard DVD.

Ort Express- my network suddenly not showing up. System preferences, advanced/network shows network. Opened Airport Utility options grayed out except configure other but no luck. No set up assistant option to reenter. Not sure where to go from here?.

Airport Express.
My network suddenly not showing up. Openend system preferences/Network & my network is there. When I open Airport Utility, most option are grayed out except "configure other" with no change. Utility does not provide option for setup assistant where I could just start over. So no wifi without network set up and can't use ethernet/router to troubleshoot. I am stuck any assistance helpful.

So I went back to the PC after my original post, and somehow I was able to connect to the AirPort wireless network in the Windows Wireless Network List. Once I did this, it showed up in the AirPort Utility, and I was able to access the internet. I have no idea what fixed the problem, but maybe it was simply a matter of waiting a few minutes before connecting to the network?

I can not open Airport utility on my iMac after updating to maverick 10.90.4

I can not open Airport utility on my iMac after updating to maverick 10.9.4 . Error Message:[You can’t use this version of the application “AirPort Utility.app” with this version of OS X. You have "Airport Utility.app"5.4.2] It also will not allow me to install "airport Utility 6.3. Does anybody has a fix for this?

Re-run Software Update and see if there is a newer version of Airport Utility. I suspect your router or iMac may be too old to use Airport Utility 6.3 . As a work- around if Software Update does not work then try reading this article and see if the suggested solution help you.

I downloaded a widget from apple and was unable to open it because a window appeared telling me that the developer was unidentified. How do I change the security preferences that allow me to only install apps from the Mac App Store?

Reboot the modem. Just pull the power for a few seconds. No settings are lost. The laptop getting through to the internet is not relevent.

I am unable to open Acrobat X in Windows 7

I am unable to open Acrobat X in Windows 7. The shortcut appears on the desktop but when I click it nothing happens. Same from the program list. Just re-installed from cd but still nothing.

Since you can not open Acrobat (assume there were no errors shown with the installation and this is a new installation), then go to Control Panel>Programs & Features and select Acrobat. Select the uninstall/change. Along the way you should be provided an option to repair -- do that. If you like, you can also download the updates from http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows and install them in order.

Airport Utility on Windows XP laptop can't find AE

Today, Airport Utility on Windows XP laptop says it can’t find my Apple Extreme device. Yesterday, Windows found it and provided wireless connection immediately. Today, no-go. The only change is that I plugged in a USB mouse -- doesn’t seem likely that’s the cause. I can get connected OK wired. AE lights up steady green, when I plug it into the modem so that makes it appear to be OK. I do not use I-Tunes and speakers -- just would like to avoid dragging an ethernet cable around. Can anyone suggest a solution?

I had the same problem. My AirPort utility in Windows would not detect the AirPort Extreme until I was already connected to the internet. I have two routers in my house. When I connected to my other router and was connected to the internet via that, then my AirPort Extreme showed up in my AirPort.

Unable to Open a New Browser Window

I have a couple users who are having trouble logging in to Discoverer on new PCs. They are using Internet Explorerer 8. They are able to get to the login screen, but when the hit connect (or Go) they get an error: "Unable to open a new browser window. Ensure that you do not have popup windows disabled for this site."
Obviously the first thing I had them do was turn off the popup blocker all together. But they still get the error (even after they restart their PC). Other than that, is there something I am missing in how they need to configure IE8? I'm personally used to using IE6 at work and don't know much about configuration setting for IE8.
Thanks!

Hi,
Exactly not sure,see if there are any pop-up blockers still exists,if so try turning pop-up on and off and check it.One more thing what java plug in are you using?? May be it perisists due to java also.
Best Wishes,
Kranthi.

I am suddenly unable to open elements 9 in windows 7.

why is this happening and what do I do?

Thanks -
That's how I've been doing it since installment. After I wrote earlier, I
discovered that patience is its own reward in that PE suddenly had opened.
Probably 5 minutes. If it persists, may take it out and reload.

Unable to open a second firefox window if i have already a firefox window running

I'm unable to open a new firefox window if i have one already running. Previously this action was allowed. so i would like to ask if this action has been disallowed after the update ?

You have a corrupted Firefox 3.6.12 user agent (Firefox/2.0.0.14):
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.12) Gecko/20101026 Firefox/2.0.0.14
See * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Resetting_your_useragent_string_to_its_compiled-in_default
Check the general.useragent prefs on the about:config page.
You can open the about:config page via the location bar, just like you open a website.
Filter: general.useragent
If any general.useragent prefs are bold (user set) then right-click that pref and choose Reset.
Are you starting Firefox with the -no-remote command line switch?
Make sure that you do not start Firefox with the -no-remote switch or have set the environment variable MOZ_NO_REMOTE=1 (Control Panel > System > Advanced > Environment variables).

Airport Utility/Time Machine, cannot open Airport Utility

Cannot open Time Machine. I go to set up, Change Disc, click on Time Capsule and notice pops up to enter name and password. There is only space for password, no space for name. When I go to Utilities and click on Airport Utility message pops up "The application Airport Utility quit unexpectedly". Clicked relaunch and same message pops up. How can I open Airport Utility which should then allow me to open Time Machine?

Sorted, it was an issue with the channel on the TC not matching the channel on the router. I manually matched them and now all is good.

Airport Utility for Windows fails during install

I downloaded the latest driver for the airport utility for Windows 7. Ran the exec and during the install had a failure on some file that didn't get installed.
Have all firewalls down. Utility comes up but doesn't find my airport extreme.

Thanks. Tried the hard wire approach and the utility didn't find it. Did the config other and it was found. So the unit is there but the utility can find it which is what I need in order to connect the shared drive to my windows 7 system.
The airport base station agent is running and configured but I never get a prompt to enter the disk password.
Nice clue about using the IP to connect.
I did this via WIFI. Used my iMac to get the IP address.
The time machine is in bridge mode and connecting through another router to the internet.
