What about a ipdad airport utility for setup

Why not a ipad airort utility to create a LAN during traveling ?

Why not suggest this to Apple?
Here on a Community Support area, we're all users...just like you. So, we cannot answer regarding decisions made by Apple.

You also might want to make use of the "Profiles" feature of the Express. You can configure up to 5 different "profiles" to store the settings for different uses. So, you could have a "home" and "travel" profile, for example.

AirPort Utility Network Setup - Replace Router or Join Current Network?

I just got an AirPort Express and plugged it in. The Airport Utility - Network Setup asks if I want to:
1)     Create a new network
2)     Replace an existing base station or wireless router with AirPort Express
3)     Want AirPort Express to join my current network
I am not too advanced with computers, so I need to ask, what should I be choosing here? There really isn't much in the manual about the topic. I already have AT&T Uverse for my internet and get wireless internet access through them. I got the AirPort Express so I could print wirelessly from devices to a printer that is hooked up to the AirPort Express and so I could create a guest network for visitors that want internet acess to whom I don't want to give my AT&T password.
Thanks.

1.) Since the Airport Express is extending the Extreme Network, will my whole network now be single radio only network, since the Express only has one radio?
Although, your AirPort Express is 802.11n, it is not simultaneous dual-band. That means it can either extend the AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz radio but not both at the same time. So the AEBSn will still be broadcasting on both the 5 GHz (for 802.11a/n) and on 2.4 GHz (for 802.11b/g/n).
2.) What if both an 802.11g and 802.11n device connect to the Express' radio instead of the Extreme's for some reason, will this make both devices operate at 2.4GHz?
Yes.
3.) What if an 802.11g device connects to the Airport Express' radio. Since this is now 2.4GHz, will it only now communicate with the Airport Extreme at 2.4GHz?
Assuming that you configured the AXn to extend the AEBSn's 2.4 GHz radio, it will only be able to communicate back to the AEBSn on its 2.4 GHz radio.

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.

Airport Utility for iOS on iPad

Although my Airport Extreme and two bridged AP Expresses are oerating properly, Airport Utility for iOS on any network connected iPads cannot locate any of the Airport devices. The same version of Airport Utility works properly on any iPhones on the network and the Mac version also works.
I've tried removing, downloading, and re-installing the utility from the iTunes App Store, but the iPads still cannot locate any of the three devices. All it can find is "Internet". I've tried on iPad 2, iPad Mini, iPad Mini 3 and none of them can see the Airport devices. On the other hand, I've tried the utility on iPhone 4s, iPhone 5, iPhone 5s, and iPhone 6 (all iOS devices running iOS 8.2), and the iPhones can all see the Airport devices
The symptoms are pretty consistent and reproducible. In the past 4 to 6 months, Airport Utiity did work properly on iPad. I'm not certain which version of the app and iOS were current when it worked, because I don't frequently use the app, unless I have network revisions done on my Mac and need to check results later. Tonight, I did use it because I have a malfunctioning IP camera. I scanned the network with a third party network scanner/sniffer on iPad and it confirms that the network is intact.
Basically, it's not iPad specifically, but it appears to be the Airport Utility running on iPad only, that has a problem locating the Airport devices. It seems to be a bug in the Airport Utility for iOS, as used with iPad. Has anyone else observed this?

I have never seen it either.. I have no problem with the ipad to discover any airports in my network.. and there are loads of them.. nor seen people reporting it as an issue.. but you have sure got something interesting happening.. what version Extreme is it?? Do you have something unusual in the setup?
If you are really brave or foolhardy.. save the existing setup.. and reset the main extreme to factory and redo the setup from the ipad.. I am pretty sure it will work as long as it gets first bite at the apple. (no pun intended).
Keep all names short, no spaces and pure alphanumerics.. same for passwords but can be longer.. ie names <10 is good.. passwords 8-20 characters. Mixed case and numbers.
I do notice that Airport Utility in ipad does behave differently (only slightly but it is there) cf the iphone. Some functions are missing in the phone version.. so I guess with the bigger screen the utility adjusts to how it works.

Since I upgraded to Lion 10.7.2, my external HD is no longer visible in AirPort utility (in the AirPort disks tab). I also installed the AirPort utility for iOS5, it reported a disk problem, but running Disk Utility on the Mac showed no issues. Help!

To expand on the question, I have performed the following steps:
1 - Unplugged external drive (1TB WD MyBook) from the Time Capsule
2 - Reconnected it. At this point, AirPort utility for iOS5 reported a problem with the disk (Time Capsule light was blinking Orange)
3 - Unplugged external drive, connected it to MacBook Pro, ran Disk Utility. It found no problems (disk visible straight away on the MacBook Pro).
4 - Reconnected to Time Capsule - still doesn't show up under the "Disks" option under Air Port utility. Or rather, the hardware is visible (i.e the physical disk) but not the volume.
5 - I tried another external hard drive, and the volume also doesn't appear in the Disk section under the AirPort utility.
The WD disk is formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
This is a big problem for me, as the drive houses my iTunes library.
Anyone else had a similar problem? It all worked flawlessly until last week.

I love computers.
Have managed to fix this already. Been working the issue for a few days now, and a few minutes after writing the above post I decided to reset the Time Capsule to factory default settings.
After entering all my details again (used same network names, passwords etc) the Time Capsule was rebooted. When it came back on line - guess what? Yep, the MyBook WD drive is now visibile. I can connect via the network from my other machines to the drive, and iTunes is back.
So - thought I would post my resolution in case it helps others.

What is a good defrag utility for OS X?

Hi, I was wondering what is the recommended defrag utility for 10.4.6. Thanks.

I think that I remember reading that since 10.3, X automatically does it, but I cannot remember for sure.
As the linked article claims, rayray, the OS defrags, but only up to a point.
Firstly, it only defrags files less than 20 Megs in size. This used not to be much of an issue, but in these days of humungous video files and the like, it sometimes can be these days.
Secondly, and significantly, it does not defrag free space. THis isn't much of an issue either when your disk has plenty of free space, but it can certainly become so when things get tight.
Various processes run by Mac OSX require "contiguous" free disk space. A badly fragmented drive may still have quite a few gigabytes of free space, but all of it may be in very small hunks. When the OS needs to write a file all in one place (like a directory extents file, for example), but can't find the room, this can result in very nasty things happening. It may , for example, simply write the file anyway, right over the top of another file.
Until your HD gets down to its last 40 or 50 gigs of free space you don't need to worry. When you DO get down to this sort of level, though, especially if yo are working with very big video files and the like, you need to do something about it. It depends a fair amount on what you are doing with your computer. Some people will get away with it until they are down to the even the last 4 or 5 gigs. Trouble is, if their usage patterns change they may well run into strife.
One solution is to simply "clone" your internal drive to an external, wipe the internal drive, and then clone it back. Make sure the clone really works before you wipe the internal though!
Alternatively , as suggested by Angus, Coriolus's "iDefrag" is the best of the utility bunch for this sort of stuff., I've been using it happily myself for quite some time now.
Cheers

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

I can't find an airport utility for windows 8 or 8.1 to download.

I have a desktop computer with windows 8.1 and an Airport Extreme base station. I need to install the Airport utility to set up the Airport Extreme base station and I can't find at apple support an Airport utility for my operating system to download..

If you have an iPhone or iPad handy, the setup is much easier on those devices than it is compared to a PC.
If you have an iOS device, download and install AirPort Utility on the App Store on iTunes - Apple

Airport Express Install help needed as Airport utility for PC seems to sort of work?

Hope someone can help.
Just bought the Airport Extreme 802.11n Wi-Fi
It is connected to my cable modem, and i have my ps3 hard wired to it.
It is on and sending a signal because this computer is using the internet connect on it right now.
Problem is it is still unsecured as the Airport Utility can find it but then when I click continue to set-it up it gives me the following message.
An error occured while trying to access the apple wireless device. Make sure your network connection is valid and try again.
Error 10057.
Any help would be great. I'm on a PC running Windows 7.

Thanks for the reply.
All we have is the cable internet modem....it provides our phone and internet signals....tons of lights on it the front that are solid green or flashing green when in use.
I have connected a cable from the modem to the airport express (WAN spot). Plugged in the device (power) and then downloaded Airport Utility for windows from apples website (no disk came in the box).
I have have two wired connections running to the extreme as well, one is to my PS3 downstairs and the other I use when I'm at my desk with my office laptop. These shouldn't be affecting anything and I can get internet on my PS3 wired connecton so I know the router is functioning.
I installed Airport Utility and have rebooted my PC running windows 7, I click and opne the Utility. It finds the base station but when I click on the options to continue or manual I get the error message noted in my first post. I have alos noted that the router goes green light to yellow to flashing yellow. It does nothing but flash amber right now.
Hope this helps for solutions?

How can I download airport utility for my windows computer?

I have been unable to find the airport utility to download it. I can not, for some reason, get the download window to load. It just sits there with a spinning wheel in the center of the screen. Where can I find the airport utility for the new airport extreme?
Thank you for your help.

The most recent version of AirPort Utility is AirPort Utility 5.5.3 for Windows
If you are having trouble downloading this, Apple has just introduced a number of new Mac updates, so it is possible that the servers may be temporarily overloaded.
