Vista Not Finding Airport Utility

I have a PC running windows vista and this computer was perfectly managing the time capsule. Everything worked, backup drive, wireless printing, etc.
Then without explanation, when i open the airport utility, i am not managing to see the time capsule. this also is preventing me from using the TC as a backup drive and to print wirelessly.
I am able to see and manage the devise with another PC - so it is not the time capsule. And i have also done a complete hard reset wiping everything and it is still a problem.
The pc in question is also not recognising our airport extreme at home - thus i can conclude it is the PC. So I uninstalled the airpot utility software, reinstalled it etc - and still nothing.
Please help - it is sooooooo frustrating.

Hello John Heil. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
I have a 2Wire Gateway wireless modem. I do NOT have an Airport Extreme Base Station-do I need one? I thought I only needed the Airport Express.
You are correct, you do not need the AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) in order to stream iTunes, only the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) would be required. Since you already have a wireless modem/router, you just need to configure the AX as a wireless client.
I have an ethernet cord going directly from the Modem to the Airport Express.
I have the digital optical connector going staight from the Airport Express to my stereo.
What am I missing?
You do not need to attach the AX to the 2Wire Gateway. Instead you can place it near your stereo. You can stream iTunes directly to the AX from your computer that is hosting iTunes.

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.

Airport Setup Utility does not find Airport Express

I have an airport extreme connect to my iMac and today installed an airport express in another room so I can use a printer and speakers for piping iTunes to the other room.
I connected my printer to the Airport Express and plugged the airport express into the socket to power it up. After initially showing a green light, then solid yellow, the airport express showed a blinking yellow light. The airport express is only located 10 feet from my airport extreme base station.
The Airport Setup Utility does not find an extpress in the area and I have even done a hard restart on the express to see if this fixes the problem.
Am I missing anything with the configuration of the airport express? Thanks for your help.

Ahh, I have the same problem... my airport keeps stopping and starting. I then tried using the setup utility with with express and it cannot find it. I tried rescanning, but nothing.

HT4262 where can I find AirPort utility 5.6 - my old Airport express module is not supported by Airport Utility 6.1. I was directed by the program to this page, but I can not find that application anywhere on Apples's webpages.

Airport 6.1 does not support my Airport module (the second iteration), and tells me to download Airport Utility 5.6. I can not find it via the directed link from Airport utility 6.1 nor anywhere else on Apple's web site. It is also not on the App store.
Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
To install AirPort Utility 5.6 on OS X Lion, follow these steps:

cd ~/Downloads && pkgutil --expand ./AirPortUtility56.pkg ~/Downloads/AirPortUtility56 && gunzip -c<./AirPortUtility56/AirPortUtility56Lion.pkg/Payload | sudo tar -C / -xvf - "./Applications/Utilities/AirPort Utility 5.6.app"
3. Open Finder, select Go menu > Go to Folder, type /Applications/Utilities and open "AirPort Utility 5.6", so you will be able to use your AirPort on Lion

Windows Vista trouble finding airport base station

I recently bought an AirPort Extreme 802.11n. It was easily able to connect it to my mac, but when I try to connect it to my Windows Vista desktop computer, the base station in the airport utility software cannot be found. It finds the internet from the base station, but when I try to connect to it, it says windows cannot connect to the internet. I set up a linksys wi-fi usb, but it still cannot find the base station. The pc is only two years old. Please help.

I had the same trouble with my Vista pc. I had set it up on the Airport Extreme network, but did a firmware update and lost the PC connection. I rolled it back to the previous version, but it was still intermittent or not seeing the Airport at all. I went in to the Airport Utility and changed the Channel setting from Automatic to Manual and selected another channel. This worked and my PC could see the network OK and connect.
I'm still having trouble connecting to my MAC from the Vista Pc, but I can connect to the Vista from my MAC. Both can see the network/internet OK.

Windows vista not recognizing airport extreme

So I've set up the AirPort Extreme and have created a wireless network to access the internet from my windows vista pc, mac and other apple products (iPod touch, iPad, etc.) and need a little help:
1 - I have the ethernet cable connected from the AirPort Extreme to my pc. I am able to access the internet, but am not able to see the AirPort Extreme on my pc.
2 - My mac is connected to the AirPort Extreme wirelessly, however, I'm not able to see the AirPort Extreme Utility on the mac.
3 - I'd like to set up a file-sharing network between my pc and my mac. What is the best way to do this through the AirPort Extreme?
4 - I've also purchased Apple TV that I will be hooking up to my television to then be able to play home videos that currently reside on both the pc and the mac. Any tips in setting this up?
I'm not the most mac or tech savvy. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

1 - I have the ethernet cable connected from the AirPort Extreme to my pc. I am able to access the internet, but am not able to see the AirPort Extreme on my pc.
To access the AirPort Extreme you would need to use AirPort Utility for Windows. For Windows Vista, you need to use version 5.5.3 of this utility.
2 - My mac is connected to the AirPort Extreme wirelessly, however, I'm not able to see the AirPort Extreme Utility on the mac.
The AirPort Utility is located in the \Applications\Utilities folder on your Mac.
3 - I'd like to set up a file-sharing network between my pc and my mac. What is the best way to do this through the AirPort Extreme?
Regardless of router manufacturer you would configure both the PC and the Mac for file sharing. For the Mac, check out the following Apple Support article. You may also find this Macworld article helpful. Although it was written for Windows XP, it should work just as well for Vista.
4 - I've also purchased Apple TV that I will be hooking up to my television to then be able to play home videos that currently reside on both the pc and the mac. Any tips in setting this up?
The Apple TV works best when streaming from the Internet. However, it does support some streaming from a local network device. Primarily you would stream from iTunes.
As far as set up, the Apple TV is relatively simple. Basically just plug it into power and connect it to your TV using an HDMI cable. The Apple TV is a minicomputer with built-in network connectivity (both wired and wireless). You configure the Apple TV through its menu interface that will be displayed on your TV set.

Powerbook Not Finding Airport

Hi!
I have an Airport Express pluged to some wall in one place, an iMac (10,3,9) in another and a Powerbook (10,5,8).
The iMac is finding the Airport and receiving internet correctly. The powerbook though, is not even finding the Airport (let alone internet...)
When trying the Airport Utility from the Powerbook, when trying to discover any airport utility, the following message appears:
"Airport Utility was unable to find any Airport wireless devices. Make sure the Airport wireless device you want to set up is plugged in and in a range of your computer, and then click rescan to try again".
I have no idea of where to start from, in order to fix this. Why am I finding the Airport with my iMac but not with the Powerbook?
At the beginning I thought it was because I wasn´t getting an IP address but I took it to the local Mac Service Center and they reinstalled the 10,5,8, so apparently it shouldn´t be that....
Any ideas¿?
Many thanks,
Julio

I have the exact same problem. My laptop (HP Pavilion) can't find the Airport.
The problem is not the wifi - the laptop finds and uses the wifi network created by the Airport just fine (I'm on it now) - it just can't find the Airport in the Utilities program (or in iTunes, which is my actual problem here).
I can find, configure and use the Airport from another computer on the same router as the Airport (a stationary non-wifi PC also with Vista and the same versions of iTunes and Airport Utilities).
My laptop has worked fine with the Airport for over a year, I think the problem started after the latest upgrade of iTunes or Airport Utilities. I have tried downgrading Utilities to an earlier version, but it doesn't help.
When I do a factory reset of the Airport the laptop does find it, but when I try to configure it I get an error message (error code -4). When I configure it from my other computer, it disappears again from Airport Utilities in my laptop.
Any help on this would be really appreciated!

TS3274 can not connect printer..error msg can not find airport printer printer wireless to airport extreme

printer not recognised. Printer wirelessly connected to airport extreme. iPad will not find printer

Thank you so much Paul_31 for your suggestions, HUGELY appreciate the effort
I have reset the printing system, a few times for good measure but nadda.
I have also looked at getting the software from the Apple site after seeing that with Snow Leopard you should let the operating system lead the install not the manufacteurers software as it is most likely out of date. I too found it wasn't there so I uninstalled the software got up the CLX_3300 series stuff then went from there with the USB cable. It apparently hasn't worked either
Unfortunately now after using the print utility to scan for a while that has now gone again on the last restart of the Mac. I am so completely clueless
The box says the printer is compatible, the place of purchase said it was compatible, the Samsung site says it is compatible.
I think it's the set up of my Mac? Our maybe a glitch in the network settings?
Thanks again

Can Not Access Airport Utility or USB Disk Over Wireless with WEP Enabled

I have an AirPort Extreme base station, with several Windows XP (SP2) machines connected to it. I am able to access the base station through the AirPort Utility (v5.1) using the machines that are connected to the base station via ethernet cables. However, when I attempt to configure the base station using a wireless connection on my Win XP laptop, it says that no base stations can be found. It will also not connect to the USB hard drive (no hards drives appear in the AirPort Disk Utility.) I AM able to browse the web via the wireless connection however. When I turn off WEP, the laptop is able to see the base station through the AirPort Utility, so I know it has something to do with the security, but I have not been able to narrow the problem down beyond that.
Any suggestions?
Windows XP

Hi,
I'm having a similar problem. I am using the airport extreme with a MacBook and a PC running windows XP, The MacBook is the computer that I used to configure the settings in the airport utility for the base station. I set it up this way with the assistance of an Apple representative. When I view the disk tab in the airport utility, I can see the USB drive connected to the base station. I can also see the USB drive on the desktop of the Mac. On the PC however, I can't seem to locate the USB drive anywhere. I can't see it anywhere in explorer and the drive doesn't show up when I use an application and attempt to open a file. Does this sound similar to your experience and were you able to resolve the problem?

Software update not updating Airport Utility

So I'm trying to solve itunes/airport express problems after an itunes update, and every time I access the airport utility it tells me there's a new version available (5.5.1), and to click update. So I click update and update wants to give me safari and mobilme, but there's no airport utility update in the window. ***?

PebmarshSteve has an iMac G5 & 10.5.x is as far as he can go, but you can go to 10.6.x cheaper than 1.5.x.
Tiger/10.4.11 isn't likely to ever see another update.
Though I'd suggest you max your RAM out.
Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
General requirements
* Mac computer with an Intel processor
* 1GB of memory (I say 2GB at least)
* 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
* DVD drive for installation
* Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
* Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
Which apps work with Mac OS X 10.6?...

Where to find Airport Utility

I currently have an Airport Express which I'm using with my Macbook running OS10.4.9
Airport Administration Utility 4.2.3 is my current version, but I understand this has been replaced with "Airport Utility", perhaps v5? Does anyone know where to download this current version?
TIA,
rich
Macbook Mac OS X (10.4.9)

The new AirPort Utility v5.0 comes on the CD with the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station. The v5.1 update is available via the AirPort Base Station Update 2007-001, but will only install if you already have v5.0 loaded.
There is a workaround...
- Download the AirPort Base Station Update 2007-001 file from: http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/airportbasestationupdate2007001formac.htm l
- Double-click AirPortBaseStationUpdate2007001.dmg to mount and display it's contents.
- From the AirPortUtilityUpdate window, right-click on "AirPortBaseStationUpdate2007001.mpkg."
- Select "Show Package Contents" from the pop-up menu.
- In the "AirPortBaseStationUpdate2007001.mpkg window, double-click on the "Contents" folder to open it.
- In the "Contents" window, double-click on the "Packages" folder to open it.
- Right-click on "AirPortUtility.pkg."
- Select "Show Package Contents" from the pop-up menu.
- In the "AirPortUtility.pkg window, double-click on the "Contents" folder to open it.
- Double-click on "Archive.pax.gz." This will create a new folder on your Desktop, named "Applications." The AirPort Utility will be inside this new folder. You can copy or move it to your Applications folder.

AirPort Setup Assistant does not find AirPort Extreme

Hello,
I am trying to stream music to my home stereo. My setup is exactly like the one displayed on page 17 of http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/AirPortExpress_Setup_Guidev4.2.pdf
AirPort Setup Assistant shows my AirPort Extreme, but not the AirPort Express. I did hard-reset the AirPort Express several times, but the light stays amber and the Setup Assistant does not discover the AirPort Express.
Until I changed the configuration (prior I had an AirPort Express only), I was able to use a shared network with a PC, so I don't believe the AirPort Express is defective.
Is there anything else I can do?
Thanks,
Fidelio

P.S.
I was able to solve my problem. It turned out that the AirPort Express software was outdated. So I connect directly, using an Ethernet cable, to the Ethernet port of the AirPort Extreme. Then used the AirPortExpressFWUpdater.dmg to upload the latest software. Finally I followed the instructions posted by Tesserax at http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=5342301#5342301 and it worked.
