Upgrade to Airport Utility 6.2 problems

imac running 10.7.5.
network off comcast modem to airport extreme base station with 2 airport express as extenders.
controlled the expresses with airport utility 5.6. had airport 6.1 as well.
now ran the upgrade to 6.2 and can't control any of the airports.
all missing under 5.6.
open under 6.2 and see "previously part of your network" grayed out.
luckily have another mac where i can still control them
but what to do on this imac??
time machine won't overwrite with 6.1 in the backups.

ok, got it in case you need the info.
looking for older posts: re-installed 5.6 this way after downloaded his automator workflow

be sure to hold dmg over the icon. after see it on desktop, rename it and drag to applications folder.
turn off then back on your wifi. then launch the 5.6 version, my expresses and extreme reappeared.

Coverage limited after upgrading of Airport Utility software

I've recently upgraded my airport utility software to 7.41 and have been having problem since in accessing the net from my room and sitting hall (no signal) which i don't have any problem all these while. I've tried resetting the airport, re-installing the software but to no avail. It's also causing an interference to my satelite TV as well. would really appreciate if someone can hlp me out.
Thx!

Alpha1-Mac, Welcome to the discussion area!
More than likely installing the firmware caused the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) to use the "Automatic" channel selection. Most people find that frequently this does not select the best channel. Change it from "Automatic" and try channels until you find one which works better.

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,
Kristian

External hard drive connected to my airport extreme will no longer open, when navigating to it in Finder, the Finder window quits and reopens, cannot access hard drive, it is visible in airport utility, since the problem began I have updated firmware

External hard drive connected to my airport extreme will no longer open, when navigating to it in Finder, the Finder window quits and reopens, cannot access hard drive, it is visible in airport utility, since the problem began I have updated firmware on Extreme as well as both of my Airport Expresses. Hard drive is USB connected to Extreme.

Reboot the USB drive.. assuming it is powered.. or unplug and replug a self-powered drive.. (you should not use self-powered drives on AE before the latest model.. always use a powered hub).
Does the drive now appear in finder..
If not reboot both drive and the AE.. it should now appear.
If it doesn't work with direct connection try a powered hub.. that can help.

Welcome!
Only one variant of the PowerMac G4 could use the faster Airport Extreme Card. The rest used the original Airport card that is pretty slow.
To get fast wireless without buying more than one thing, consider this:
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Edimax/EW7722IN/
It goes in an available PCI slot
There are USB solutions also. However, all PowerMac G4 towers had only slower USB 1.1 ports, so any USB wireless adaptor can only run at about wireless 'B" speeds (slow) unless you also install a PCI USB 2.0 adaptor card. Doing that would allow a USB wireless adaptor to run at its maximum rated speed. These items working together would accomplish that:
USB wireless "dongle:"
Newer Technology MAXPower 802.11n/g/b USB Adapter + Plug and play direct or with extension cradle
USB PCI adaptor:
http://eshop.macsales.com/Search/Search.cfm?Ntk=Primary&Ns=P_Popularity%7c1&Ne=5 000&N=7069&Ntt=USB+PCI
Each approach has its advantages. The PCI wireless card is a one-piece solution that takes up no desk space. The USB2 card+USB2 Dongle gives you more fast ports for transferring date from other external USB devices (primarily cameras and external hard drives) at hugely faster rates than can the original ports. I have a USB 2 PCI card in my G4 tower strictly for transferring images from my digital SLR camera in a timely manner.

How do I upgrade to Airport Utility to v7.5.2

I've repeatedly get:
kernel: com.apple.message.domain: com.apple.kernel.external_modification
com.apple.message.signature: rooksd(0E94D50D-EA99-14C7-0A47-C66D69F6F22B)
com.apple.message.signature2: WebProcess(70906893-775B-3246-92A6-9E900347BF6E)
com.apple.message.result: noop
I don't know for a fact what it means or what it's for but, after some research, the general consensus has made it quite clear that I need to upgrade Airport Utility to v7.5.2.
The problem is that I can't seem to find it. This upgrade, apparently, was available well before Lion came out.
Currently, I has v6.0.
If there is a known issue with Airport that promted newer versions to be released, then why can I not update to the latest version available?
A direct reply would be nice. Simply send me a message though Apple Support, if possible, or [email protected], or simply reply on this forum and , I hope, I should get a notification.
I thank you for your (who ever's) time and kindness.

The screen on my MacBook Pro Retina has horizontal lines and a flicker every few seconds this happened after this weeks Airport Utility 6.3 upgrade.

Hi John,
I would take your machine into a Apple service center. Its highly likely a hardware issue. The most likely issue being the display has failed. If there is no external damage to the machines display they will replace the whole display under warranty for you.

Airport Util. Password Problems

I just upgraded printer drivers for my old Brother printer. Previous to the upgrade, I was able to print wirelessly via my AEBS using this same printer. Right or wrong, I deleted the old references to the printer in the "system preferences" > "fax & print". The users guide instructs me to create a new network in order to set up wireless printing. However, when attempting to do so, a password is required and the one I use doesn't work. I'm using the one identified in the keychain app for the airport network. Is there a difference in the network password and AEBS password?

That doesn't sound right. That printer should be able to join an existing network.
However, when attempting to do so, a password is required and the one I use doesn't work.
Just what are you doing then you're prompted for a password?
Is there a difference in the network password and AEBS password?
If you're trying to connect to a network you should use the network password. The AEBS password is for use in AirPort Utility to administer the AEBS.

Airport utility was unable to find any airport wireless device

Installed Airport Extreme connected to my PC running XP Pro. Configured my wireless network successfully. Updated to Aiport Utility for Windows ver 5.5.2 and the Airport Utility shows the 'unable to find an Airport wireless device' message and the 'Rescan' button. I uninstalled the upgraded Utility software, unplugged the Airport Extreme, installed the original software from the supplied disc, held down the reset button while plugging the power back in and waited till I got the amber/green fast flashing lights at which time I released the reset button. No change. Then upgraded the Airport Utility back to 5.5.2 and still no change. I can connect to the web from my PC and to an open wireless network named Apple Network f9561d.
Any help getting access to my Airport Extreme greatly appreciated. Thx

PC was/is always directly connected to Airport Extreme via ethernet. Windows XP Pro firewall always has been disabled (double checked). No firewall software. Disabled PC Tools malware protector. No virus protection or scanning software.
Only things showing in toolbar are NVidia Settings, Windows Volume Control, Network Connection icon,Safely Remove Hardware Icon and the time.
Don't have anything running that would block any ports.
Airport Utility for Windows is version 5.5.2.
Did another factory(?) reset as described before and pressed 'Rescan' button 15 times with no change. Devices connected via wireless are Nexus smartphone & HP laptop running Vista. All can access Internet, but slowly.
Tried rebooting PC several times with no difference. Tried plugging the PC ethernet cable into different ports in the Airport Extreme before I realized that I could always access the Internet from the PC so I was wasting my time : )
Tonite I unhooked my DLink wireless router, hooked up the Airport Extreme, installed the software, configured the network (perfectly) and then checked for and installed the
Airport Utility software upgrade (no others). As soon as it finished installing, I ran it and ended up with the error. I didn't install anything else or even run any other software. I saved the configuration, checked for and installed the upgrade. I haven't changed ANY settings on the PC or run any software other than Firefox to create my Apple account to report this problem.
Any help greatly appreciated.

Airport Utility 6.0 is regressive vs. 5.5

Very helpful settings of the Airport devices are no longer available in Airport Utility 6.0. Broadcasting rate and power, Mac adress access controls, WDS networks, IPv6 administration, Time server, Windows file sharing, Statistics, and more...
In few words, that's beyond understanding.
Please, recover these essential features!

I upgraded from Airport Utility 5.5.3 to 6. on a bran new MackBook Air running OS Lion 10.7.2.
Then I upgraded 1 Time Capsule and 2 Airport Express (All 802.11n) from firmware 7.5.2 to 7.6.
After that I had issues with mac adresses acces control on the 3 devices : Every change made on either one of the 3 devices would automaticaly be duplicated on the 2 others ...
This is the correct behaviour. When you set up multiple AirPort routers correctly they form a Wireless Distribution System (WDS). In this configuration you only configure things like MAC address access control on the Main router. The other routers will follow the behaviour of the main one.
As I had kept the Airport Utility 5.5.3. on my Imac, I could easily downgrade my 3 airport devices to 7.5.2. Firmware (This option being no more avaliable in Airport Utility 6.) and I could go back to normality as far as mac adresses acces control are concerned on the 3 devices.
For the MacBook Air, the only solution I found was to restore my system from a Time Machine backup to go back from Airport Utility 6. to 5.5.3.
I am a bit confused ... Can I stay under Airport Utility 5.5.3. and Firmware 7.5.2 and eventually be able to upgrade later to a new release supposed to have this issue solved ?
You were suppose to update from Airport Utility v5.5.3 to v6 and download the separate AirPort Utility 5.6 and update your firmware to 7.6.1.
What about OS Lion 10.7.3. above all this ?
I am a bit reluctant to install it ...
Like many others I have been struggling with Time Capsule / Time Machine Issues since OS Lion 10.7.2. upgrade, (Just solved a few days ago by a user post forwarding an Apple Care workaround) and I am kid of split between the habit of being always up to date on all my devices, and the fear to get into months lasting troubles.
If you are having issues with Time Capsule / Time Machine it is a separate issue. I also have a Time Capsule and use Time Machine. I did not have any problems before the update and do not have issues after the update.
You need to solve your issues but do not think they are specific to any update, they must be tied to another error on your system.
How is it possible to have two different releases of the same Airport Utility installed on the same system ? (See NyKon post above) Is it a secificity to Airport Utility 5.6 and 6 ?
Apple is re-writing the AirPort Utility. Version 6 is the new version but is not complete yet. That is why they also released version 5.6.
Before restauring my system on my MacBook Air to to go back from Airport Utility 6. to 5.5.3., I tryied to download 5.5.3. from Apple site, it would successfully get istalled but 6. was still the only one running.
Thanks for your help, and I apologise if some of my questions may sound a bit naive to you ...

Airport Utility 6 Failure To Recognize Devices

Has anyone just upgraded to Airport Utility 6 and found that their configured Airport Extreme basestation and expresses are not showing up in the app? Our stations are working just fine and dnady and the previous version of the utility running on all our other Macs have no problem finding them. But the Utility 6 can not see them.
AA

First start with a SMC reset:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964
Next I would try to install Snow Leopard again. During installation I would select Disk Utility>First Aid from the Utilities option in the menu bar and verify and repair the HDD.
If successful, then determine the status of the battery. It may no longer be serviceable.
Also look here for more options that are available:

Airport Utility KEYCHAIN issues

Since upgrading my airport utility to 5.2.1 I am having the following problems;
After launching the utility and finding the base station I press manual setup and it takes a long time before a UPDATE KEYCHAIN message appears. If I select CHANGE ALL it goes off and thinks about it and may come back a second time. Once base station password is entered correctly the config appears. When I exit the utility the whole machine is crawling and only a reboot returns it to its natural fast state.

i have the same thing happening all the time. any time i open airport utility (i've been having a nightmare trying to get the USB drives connected & working) it hangs f-o-r-e-v-e-r. i get the beachball, not to mention that everything crawls...if it even does that. after shutting down i end up getting messages of something not loading properly when i go to attempt repairing permissions. i have to reboot after a manual shutdown to regain 'normality.' i swear that if i see another instance of this machine asking if i want to update the keychain access because airport utility has been updated, i am going to scream!

Airport no longer found in iTunes or Airport Utility but found on iDevices

A couple months ago, my two Airport Expresses and my Apple TV disappeared from iTunes AirPlay. When I ran the Airport Utility, the Airports and Apple TV could not be located. Interestingly, the Airports displayed a green light and all iDevices (iPod Touches and iPads) could connect to the Airports via AirPlay. Like wise, Airport Utility on the iDevices located the Airports. So I connected an Airport to the router via a Ethernet cable. Once connected via wire and after a hard reset (with an orange light displayed) the Airport Utility found the wire-connected Airport. I ran the utility to set up the Airport and a green light came on. Then the wire-connected Airport was visible on iTunes AirPlay. So I unplugged the Airplay and returned it to the stereo. The green light came on, but now neither iTunes not the computer based Airport Utility could find it, even though the iDevices could. I repeated this process expecting a different outcome enough times to be certified insane.
So as I sit my computer based (Windows Vista) Airport Utility and computer based iTunes (the new version) cannot locate the Airport Expresses even though the iDevices readily see them. And their green lights display a connection to the network.
I even tried a forced connection by pasting the Airport's IP address (obtained using Airport Utility on iPad) into the manual configuration of the Airport Utility on the computer. Oddly, once the IP address was entered, the computer based Airport Utility could see the specs of the Airport Express. But when I tried to save or conclude the Computer based Airport Utility configuration, I got an error.
Another odd thing is that the Remote App on my iDevices no longer works either. I can no longer connect to my iTunes library. The remote simply can't find my Library at all. (I confirmed that Home Sharing is on). But I noted that in iTunes is indicated that four devices work connected or linked to the Library. So I had iTunes "forget" the devices "connected" for Remote and tried to reconnect. I got the number could on the iDevise but the devise never appeared in iTunes Devises for selection.
So whatever problem is preventing iTunes from locating my Airport, is also blocking my iDevises from connecting to iTunes. Meanwhile, my iDevises can sync with iTunes (while wired - I never tried a wireless sync) and can connect via AirPlay to all Airports.
I've researched this for months and found nothing to work. I'm frustrated to the point of doing something drastic like dumping iTunes and finding some other player to manage my music and stream to my stereos. I'd rather not but the vast majority of my Library can't be played over my stereo.
Please help!

Thank you for your note. I am not sure what you mean by "bridge mode" but I have executed the reset several times. In fact, I reset the things enough times to be certified crazy. The thing is, the things are connected to the network. My iDevices can stream music to them via AirPlay and my iDevices can view them in Airport Utility.
The problem appears to be iTunes. iTunes cannot find the AirPort Expresses (even though they are definitely on the network). Likewise, the Remote App on my iDevices does not work in that although previously matched, they could not access the Library. When I forced a "forget" and tried to re-match, my devices were not discovered/displayed on iTunes.
What I don't understand is why my AirPort Utility on the computer can't find the Expresses but AirPort Utility on my iDevices can find them.
Keep in mind that this is a wireless issue. If I plug the Express into the router and rest it, iTunes sees it just fine. The Remote App does not work still.

Airport Utility won't read my Airport Express?

Hi ..
My MacBook was working fine until i upgraded my Airport Utility to 5.3.2. Now it does not recognise my Airport express. So I lost the network. Also I tried to add my printer to the network and it failed. I don't know if the error is because of the upgrade or that I did something wrong with the settings please advise. Thanks

Time Machine Account Settings Question in Airport Utility V6

Hi, I recently upgraded Airport Utility to V6 in which they now have a settings for the builtin Time Capsule to set Secure Shared Disks. The settings are:
     1) With Accounts,
     2) With a disk password,
     3) With a device password.
When I setup my Time Capsule I used "disk password". When I upgraded the Airport Utility to Ver 6, I switched from "disk password" to "with Accounts" for the Time Capsule backup. The trouble was after the switch, all prevous backup on the TC were no longer available. So I changed the settings from "with Accounts" back to "disk password". All previous backups were not visible anymore from within "Enter Time Machine" space. Fortunately when I changed it back to "with Accounts", I can access the recent backups but not those prior to the switch. Can anyone help me so I can have a better understanding of how this settings work and its effect on the backups. I thought that was only a security issue which should not affect the backups. Thanks in advance.

Take a look at this: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.7/en/mh21241.html
For improved security when backing up to a Time Capsule, the Time Capsule administrator can enable account mode and create individual accounts on the Time Capsule. Each Time Capsule account has its own network volume and password. If you back up to an individual account volume on a Time Capsule, other users can’t access your backups unless they know the password for that account.                                  Note: A Time Capsule set up with individual accounts contains a shared volume. Be sure you select your ownindividual volume as your backup disk, using the account name and instructions given to you by the Time Capsule administrator. The shared volume is intended only for information that all users canaccess.
With account access, each user gets his/her own volume, I assume, on which the Time Machine backups are stored.
My Time Capsule isn't set up yet, but I was playing with those settings. I *suspect* what happened when you switched from disk to account access is that there was sometime of (virtual?) repartiting taking place; for you went from one large partition (disk) to separate partitions (for each user). If that is right, big *if*, the original backups *may* be gone -- although there may be a way to recover them.
Were I you, and if those backups matter, I would stop using the Time Capsule for backups -- turn off Time Machine on all clients -- until you get it sorted out. You risk overwriting the original backups.
