Updated airport utility will not work on older Airport Extreme

I have a mid-2011 Macbook Air with OS 10.9.4. So that's up-to-date. I recently updated my Airport Utility to version 6.2. I have an old Airport Extreme. The new Airport utility will not work with the old Airport Extreme. Apple will not let me download the older Airport Utility, because I have a newer one installed: classic Catch-22. Any ideas? I need to find out my SSID to connect with a new Denon AVR receiver. Is there any way to find out my SSID with Airport Utility?

You must first uninstall AU 6.2 before you can install an older version. This may be removed by the mods so get it while you can:

  • Current version of airport utility will not connect with older airport express

    I was given an older aiport express that I want to add to my network for iTunes sharing.  I have an airport express and aiport extreme currently.  I am running Mac OS x 10.7.5.  My current version of airport utility does not support this express and it tells me to download utility version 5.6. When i try to install version 5.6 i get an error message that tells me to contact software manufacturer.  I'm sure there is a simple fix but I don't know what to do.  Any help would be great!

    Hi
    again , at least for getting 5.6 installed, look at my post earlier, or better to JEFFY's and download an much better alternative "unpkg", to get it ( 5.6) on to  your  mac.
    Then, though, getting to use it to configure your older AP as I attempted is anothe matter. I didn't succed so far..
    Good luck to you. If it works pse tell .
    Thanks.

  • Newer mac mini airport utility can't work with older airport express

    Hi anyone who can help me out.
    I have a relatively new mac mini (2012), and a much older airport express. I can accesss the internet no problem, but I cannot use the airport utility to chane the password on the airport expres. when I try, I get this message "This version of AirPort Utility doesn’t support this base station. Go to AirPort Service and Support for more information." I have the latest version of Airport utility (6.3.1), which is supposed to work with all generaions of airport express. I need to change the password, but I do not have any of the original set-up disks for the airport. How do I fix this?
    Thanks for your help.

    Unfortunately, AirPort Utility in Lion and Mountain Lion no longer supports the older wireless "b/g" versions of the AirPort Express. This would include model numbers A1084 and A1088.
    Please locate the model number on the side of your AirPort Express devices to verify the version that you have.
    If you have another Mac running the Leopard or Snow Leopard operating system, you can use AirPort Utilty on that Mac to administer the older Express. A PC could be used as well.
    If you cannot use another Mac or PC, then you might want to consider trying an unsupported method to install an older version of AirPort Utility on your Mountain Lion Mac. No guarantees can be offered that this will be successful since Apple does not officially support this method, but it does seem to work for most users.
    See this thread for more details:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/22940547#22940547
    If nothing seems to work, the final option....likely the one that Apple wants you to use.....would be to buy a new AirPort Express.

  • Need Help...my wireless airport express will not work with my update of snow leopard

    after installing snow leopard on my macbook pro my airport express will not work...or will connect only for a minute at a time.

    If you mean by "airport express" the square airport router you plug in and has a usb port then run the Airport Utility located in your Utilities folder to set it up again. If AU doesn't see it you may need to do a re-set of the AE.

  • After Leopard install, all three Airport Expresses will not work...

    I have three Airport Express' that worked completely fine before I installed Leopard. After the installation, the Airport Utility will not even detect them. No matter how many times I try to reset them, unplug them, or yell at them, they will not be recognized by the Airport Utility. Currently, all three units are completely useless and just flashing amber. I have tried to look through the topics to see if anyone else has the same issue but, I could not find one that seem to be a duplicate of this problem.
    Please help.
    -F.

    My guess - are you trying to connect to them wirelessly?
    If so, the only solution I found was to hook them up with an ethernet cable to the Mac.
    Airport then finds them OK and you can upgrade the firmware / software to latest versions.
    Hope that helps

  • Itunes and airport utility will not recognize AE despite status green

    I am trying to onfigure my vista pc and airport extreme base station to stream music wirelessly via an AE. I have read the posts and with AE connected via an ethernet connection it shows up in itunes under my computer tab and everything is ok. However when I disconnect the ethernet cordm the status light on both the AE and airport extreme (when I plug it back into my only eternet connection) both show green, yet neither itunes nor airport utility will recognize the AE. Also tried using windows network tab to add the AE as a wireless device but it also does not find it.Can anyone help me further with this? Very frustrating

    For your express to show up in your globe-view thingy....  you need to either select the network that the express is broadcasting from the wifi drop-down.... or select the network that it is a part of.

  • Airport utility will not detect airport express, there is no green light on airlport express solid yellow then just a momentary green

    I had airport express set up for a wireless network in a hotel room. Forgot password when I got home and reset but now the yellow light stays on with only a momentary green then back to solid yellow. Any ideas.  Airport utility does not see it.

    Unfortunately, this type of symptom is usually a signal that there is an internal electrical problem with the Express. 
    Hopefully, it is simply locked up and can be reset.
    Try a Factory Default Reset as follows:
    Power down the AirPort Express
    Leave it off at least 10 minutes, longer will not hurt
    Hold in the reset button and keep holding it another 10-12 seconds while you plug the Express back in to power
    Release the reset button
    Allow 40-45 seconds for the Express to restart.
    If things are back to normal, you will see a slow blinking amber light after 40-45 seconds.
    If you continue to see the solid amber with short green flash after a few reset tries, I am afraid that the device has failed and will need to be replaced.

  • Airport Utility can not see my 2 airport express.

    It does see my airport extreme but it has stopped seeing the 2 express stations.  I have had this set up for years and play iTunes to stereo systems in 2 different rooms in the house.  But it just crashed and lost the connections to all three base stations.  I have been able to reset the Airport Extreme but Airport utility now will not find the 2 Airport Express units that I have.  These units are 802.11g capatible.

    I have been able to reset the Airport Extreme but Airport utility now will not find the 2 Airport Express units that I have.
    Suggest that you perform a Factory Default Reset on each AirPort Express (AX) and then reconfigure them to "join" the wireless network that is being provided by the AirPort Extreme.
    Power down the AX for a moment
    Hold in the reset button and keep holding the reset button in while you plug the AX back in to power
    Release the reset button 8-10 seconds after you plug the AX in to power
    Allow 40-45 seconds for the AX to restart back to a slow, blinking amber light
    At this point, the AX is providing a wireless signal with a name like Apple Network xxxxxx. You must log on and connect to this network (no password is required) first, then open AirPort Utility, select the AX and click Continue to follow the guided setup.
    You also have the option of configuring using Ethernet by temporarily connecting an Ethernet cable from your PC to the AirPort Express if you do not want to configure it using wireless.

  • Airport utility will not update

    having problems with my Airport Express not staying conected, thought i would down load and install the updated Airpot Utility 5.6.1
    dowloaded and attemted to install, will not install unless i have the most up to date operating soft-wear. downloaded and
    in stalled the update Mac OS X v10.7.4 (took 24 hours)
    airport utiliti still will not install, saying "AIRPORT UTILITY CAN'T BE INSTALLED ON THIS DISK, THE VERSION OF MAC OS X ON THIS VALUME NOT SUPPORTED"
    please help
    s

    Is there a chance that you missed the info about AirPort Utiltiy 5.6.1 before you tried to install it?
    AirPort Utility 5.6.1 can only be used with the Snow Leopard or Leopard operating systems....10.5.7 to 10.6.8.
    You have Lion 10.7.4, so you will need to download and install the correct application for your Lion operating system:

  • I got a new imac and the airport utility does not work with my older airport express. What can I do???

    How can I get my new iMac to see my old Airport Express so I can play my music to a remote speaker?

    Move the Mountain Lion version of Airport Utility to the Trash. Airport Utility is located in the Utilities folder.
    Kappy, you cannot move AirPort Utility in Mountain Lion to the trash in a normal way. Apple will not let you do this.....It is part of the Mountain Lion operating system....and cannot be modified or trashed.

  • Airport Utility will not display any base stations.

    I just had a new hard drive installed in my two year old MAC, since the last one crashed and have Mavericks installed. I have tried to un-install the application so I can re-intall a new one but the system will not let me. I am running a 5th generation of Airport Extreme which by forcing the back methoed of pulling the airport and continualiy doing a hard factory reset on the device, we have determained that the application Airport Utility for Mavericks is defective but there is no patch or update available; how do i get the application to show my base station so I can monitor who is conected to my internet.

    I'm not interested in ascribing blame either but waiting for Apple to fix something that isn't broken will only divert attention from seeking the problem's underlying cause. Assuming the AirPort Utility app on your Mac remains unaltered, it's exactly the same one everyone else is using. Should there be any doubt about that, reinstalling OS X will obviate any concern.
    I suggest the following for you to consider as you deem appropriate.
    Apple's Wireless Diagnostics may supply some additional helpful information.
    To use it, hold an option key while you click your Mac's Wi-Fi icon, and choose Open Wireless Diagnostics...
    The following authentication dialog will appear:
    Authenticate with your Admin password, then click the Continue button in the following:
    The network analysis and diagnostic tests will take several minutes to complete:
    When it completes, if your wireless network is functioning properly the following will result:
    If something is amiss, supposedly the results will be different and you will be presented with helpful information.
    Assuming your connection is "working as expected" select Continue to summary and click Continue:
    Ignore the pre-populated text field, which is provided as a place for you to type in additional information should Apple ask for it in the course of obtaining technical assistance from them. Apple has no way of knowing where your router is located in your home, and certainly doesn't know if you even have an upstairs bedroom closet.
    Click Continue.
    The next step will also take a few minutes:
    When it finishes, you will be presented with a summary that may or may not be useful to you. Let me know if it is.
    The WirelessDiagnostics-xxx.tar.gz file deposited on your Desktop can be dragged to the Trash, or you may wish expand it and examine its contents. It's up to you.
