    How to restart base station from airport utility? I used to be able to do it remotely
    I currently use a Mac Pro 10.8.4 and have a time machine for wireless 6.3 (630.34). Sometimes I cannot connect to the internet and use network preferences to diagnose the issue. This results in being told to restart the wireless. The airport utility includes the drop down option of restarting but is not clickable so I can't choose it.
    With my prior macbook and same time capsule, etc  if i had problems connecting to the internet I would run network diagnostics to help out. This included clicking on the airport utility ---> base station --> restart. This worked most of the time.
    Bottom line, is there something I am missing in not being able to restart the wi-fi remotely? ]
    Thanks in advance

    You are likely forgetting a step.
    Open AirPort Utility
    Click on the Time Capsule icon
    Click Edit in the small window that appears
    Now click the Base Station menu.....top of the screen....not the Base Station "tab" in the center of the screen
    Click Restart

  • Lost connection to one of my Airport express units. Serial number 44500WQV0. Message in Airport Utility is to use Version 5.6 to configure base station. I have version 6.3.1. Both airport express units bought at same time few years ago.

    Hello all.
    Lost my connection to one of two airport express units. Both purchased few years ago. Use them to stream music to house speakers via WiFi. I have v6.3.1 of Airport Utility. Message says to use v5.6 to reconfigure this base station.
    How do I do that, please?
    Mahesh

    You can use the following workaround to install AirPort Utility 5.6 on a Lion or Mountain Lion Mac:
    Be sure to read the caveats at the end.
    Lion / Mountain Lion's package installer will refuse to install superseded versions of AirPort Utility. Instead you will need to use a package extractor such as Pacifist or unpkg. Pacifist is shareware, unpkg is free.
    Download Pacifist here: http://www.charlessoft.com/
    Download unpkg here: http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
    Download AirPort Utility 5.6 here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
    When the AirPort Utility .dmg file finishes downloading, open it to expand and reveal the AirPortUtility56.pkg package installer file.
    Directions for Pacifist (I do not have screenshots for unpkg but the idea is similar):
    Open Pacifist and from its File menu, navigate to the package and open it.
    Click the "reveal triangles" until you see AirPort Utility 5.6.app:
    Select it and then click Install from Pacifist's toolbar. It will then be installed in your Utilities folder, and you can quit Pacifist.
    The most recent version of AirPort Utility included with Mountain Lion should be used to configure 802.11n - capable AirPort Base Stations. Make no attempt to delete it. It and the older version (which will bear the unique name "AirPort Utility 5.6") can peacefully coexist. Use the older version only as necessary for older AirPort Base Stations that cannot be administered any other way.
    If you happen to have an archived copy of the AU 5.6 app somewhere, such as a Time Machine backup or equivalent, you can simply restore it or drag the app to your Mountain Lion system's Utilities folder instead of resorting to the above procedure. It will run without complaint. It is only the package installer that is the problem.
    Keep in mind that Apple's decision to abandon support for the original AirPort Express and AEBS was for reasons known only to them. Remember that you are using obsolete equipment, should some future OS X feature not work for you.

  • What version of airport utility should I use for my airport express if I'm running Mountain Lion?, What version of airport utility should I use for my airport express if I'm running Mountain Lion?

    I can't configure my airport express because I get a message stating I need to run an older version of airport utility to support itk but when I try and install the older version, I get a message stating it can't be installed because it isn't supported.  Help!

    Unfortunately, Apple did not include support for older AirPort devices in the recent "upgrade" to Mountain Lion. A few conversations with Apple Support indicate that Apple has no plans to change this going forward.
    If you have another Mac there running Lion or Snow Leopard...or even a PC...you can use that device to administer the older AirPort Express.
    If that is not possilble....and you have been using Time Machine for backups of your Mac....you can try to go back in time to locate the earlier version of AirPort Utility and restore it to the desktop. Then, simply move the AirPort Utility application into the Utilites folder and will co-exist with AirPort Utility for Mountain Lion.
    Apple does not support this type of thing of course, so you will be on your own if you want to try an "unsupported" procedure like this.

  • Which airport utility do I need?

    Okay a bit confused. I have a Time Capsule connected to an older version Airport Express (single band). I need to make some changes to the Airport Express. On my MBP 13" running 10.8.1 I have Airport Utility 6.1. I can reach the Time Capsule without issue. I see the Airport Express listed but it tells me that this version of Airport Utility does not support this base station and I need to download and use Airport Utility 5.6.
    I have tried to download and install Airport Utility 5.6 and 5.6.1. Both give me the same error that "The version of OSX on this disk is not supported". So is there no way to get to the settings of the older Airport Express on Mountain Lion 10.8.1?

    So is there no way to get to the settings of the older Airport Express on Mountain Lion 10.8.1?
    Best to configure the AirPort Express using another Mac or PC that will run AirPort Utility 5.6.
    Otherwise, you could try an "unsupported"** method using a special utility like Pacifist to manually extract the AirPort Utility 5.6 applicaton so that you can move it into the Utilities folder on your Mountain Lion machine.

  • Which init.ora file in use?

    I found init.ora in a couple places.
    How do I determine which init.ora file my oracle is using?
    Is there a sqlplus command to fine the init.ora in use?
    So far, I found them here:
    c:\oracle11g\dbs\init.ora
    c:\oracle11g\admin\mydb1\pfile\init.ora.8172009222712
    Which one is active?
    Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

    The one that's there in the DBS folder is the first one that is going to be looked upon by Oracle when it will try to start the instance. The one in the $OH/dbs/ is going to be active. The other location would not have the pfile all the time. Also, spfile should be used if you are in 11g. Why you areusing pfile instead of it?
    Here is what I have for 11g system,
    Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.1.0.6.0 - Production
    With the Partitioning, Oracle Label Security, OLAP, Data Mining
    and Real Application Testing options

  • Which airport utility download do I install on my windows vista pc?

    I just purchased an Apple Airport Extreme router and need to know how to get to the download for my pc.

    Something went wrong with the links I posted above, the text is correct but the links are wrong.
    Try this one:
    AirPort Utility 5.5.3 for Windows:

    It should work with Vista.

    Yes, it is.

  • Which virtualization utility should I use on my Macbook?

    I'm trying to run Auto Cad and Matlab on my Mac. I just want to install the applications I don't want to have to install the whole Windows system on my machine. Is not clear to me if Parallels or VMWare can do this, they seem to need to have Windows installed. Any suggestions on how to do this?

    Windows on Intel Macs
    There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
    1. Install the Apple Boot Camp software. Purchase Windows XP w/Service Pak 2 or Vista. Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows. Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
    2. Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, or Vista Ultimate. Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
    3. VM Fusionand Windows XP, Vista Business, or Vista Ultimate. VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
    4. CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows. The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
    5. VirtualBox is a new Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris. It is not yet fully developed for the Mac - some features are not yet implemented - but it does work otherwise.
    6. Last is Q. Q is a freeware emulator that is compatible with Intel Macs. It is much slower than the virtualization software, Parallels and VM Fusion.
    Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc. There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization. The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system.
    See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion.
    Boot Camp is only available with Leopard. The Boot Camp Beta that was used with Tiger has expired and is no longer available for use. So contrary to the other poster's comment, Boot Camp isn't truly "free." You must purchase Leopard to get it.

  • Cannot configure my AirPort Express (1st generation) anymore. Am using AirPort Utility 5.4.2 Setup Assistant. What do I do wrong?

    I cannot configure my AirPort Express (1st generation) as base Station anymore. I had to reset it because I lost my password.
    I first tried my IPads (IOS 6). These returned the message: Your AirPort Express cannot be configured with this software. Go to apple.com/nl/support/airport for more information.
    As it is an old one, I have downloaded the eldest available AirPort Utility I could find on the Apple site (AirPort utility 5.4.2) to my computer. I ran the AirPort Setup Assistant wireless and the assistant found my AirPort named " Apple Network XXXXX". (I notes that the Assistant also returned the message: If this is not the AirPort Extreme you want to set up ...)
    I clicked <NEXT>
    After trying to connect to Network, I received the message: Cannot connect to network or there are no AirPort base stations on the network.
    To be sure I retried running the Assistant after connecting the computer and the AirPort using an ethernet cable. The error message was the same.
    What do I do wrong?
    Am I using the wrong Utility software? If so, which version do I have to download and from where?
    Is a first generation AirPort anyhow compatible wth 4the generation IPads or shoud I just buy a new AirPort.
    I hope someone can help me...

    Ok, thanks for clarifying that for me. You are correct. Your iOS devices will NOT be able to administer the 802.11g base stations because the version of the AirPort Utility that they use is incompatible.
    For Windows XP, AirPort Utility for Windows v5.5.3 should work. However, v5.4.2 that you have should work as well.
    Your XP computer needs to connect to the AirPort's wireless network BEFORE you can access the AirPort with the AirPort Utility. You may want to try connecting your computer directly to the AirPort using an Ethernet cable.

  • Blocking websites using airport utility?

    i have a time capsule airport utility that i use as my router.  how do i block websites on certain computers using this router?

    There is no such ability in apple routers.

  • HT3728 When I reconnect my Time Capsule after a factory reset, the Airport Utility shows ther message"Unexpected error. Try again." I also get this if I redo the factory reset.

    The Time Capsule is not providing a wireless connection.
    When I reconnect my Time Capsule after a factory reset, the Airport Utility shows ther message"Unexpected error. Try again." I also get this if  I cancel the Airport Utility app and restart it. I performed the factory reset again, restarted the Airport Utility and received the same error. What are the steps to debug and fix the wireless problem?
    My Time Capsule is connected to my FIOS router and to my Mac Mini. I am still able to connect to the Internet from the Mini via ethernet. It seems that the Time Capsule acts as a bridge for the ethernet connections between Internet to FIOS, FIOS to Time Capsule, and Time Capsule to Mac Mini.

    Which model TC is this? The A1xxx number from the base please.
    Try the setup in full isolation from the network.. so unplug the TC from the network.. and turn off wireless in the mini.. so you have mini--ethernet--lan port TC.. and nothing else.
    Do the factory reset.
    Now check if TC comes up in airport utility..
    If it fails, turn on ipv6 local link.. if you are using 6.3 utility this could be necessary.
    Still fails, try loading the v5 utility.. you will need to plug the computer back into the FIOS to get internet. Then depending on OS.. Lion according to your profile.. you can just down the utility.. ML takes more steps.
    See below.
    Do you have an iphone or ipad.. download the airport utility app and use those for the setup.. that can sometimes work better.
    How to load 5.6 into ML.
    1. Download 5.6 for Lion.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
    Click to open the dmg but do not attempt to install the pkg.. it won't work anyway.
    2. Download and install unpkg.
    http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
    Run unpkg on the desktop.. it is very simple.. drag the AirPortUtility56.pkg file over to unpkg.. and it will create a new directory of the same name on the desktop.. drill down.. applications utilities .. there lo and behold is Airport utility 5.6 .. drag it to your main utilities directory or just run it from current location.
    You cannot uninstall 6.1 (now 6.2 if you updated) so don't try.. and you cannot or should not run them both at the same time.. so just ignore the toyland version.. the plastic hammer.. and start using 5.6.. a real tool.

  • Airport Utility says Mac connected to unkown Time Capsule

    Hi,
    I have an issue with Airport Utility (6.3.2) and a Time Capsule in my local network. This is happening at work where I have an iMac connected to the local LAN via an Ethernet connection. Wireless airport is switched off. When I open Airpot Utility, however, it shows my computer connected to a Time Capsule somewhere in my local network. See the image below.
    None of my colleagues, nor the system administrator, knows to whom that Time Capsule belongs to nor were it is located. If I go to System Preferences > Network and I disable the Ethernet port ("Configure IPv4", select "Inactive") my internet connection is gone, but Airport Utility still shows the Time Capsule as connected to my iMac.
    The only manner in which Airport Utility will show the Time Capsule disconnected is by unplugging the Ethernet cable.
    So, I have a few questions because I could not find the answers anywhere and my system administrators have no idea what is going on (they are specialised in Windows environments):
    1) The fact that Airport Utility displays a green light on the Time Capsule does it mean it is connected to my computer? If so, how can I disconnect it? Clicking on the Time Capsule icon I am asked for a password I obviously don't know. So I cannot acess its configuration pane.
    2) How do I know if there is any data traffic between my computer and the Time Capsule? I cannot find out its IP or MAC addresses (Airport Uitility will not show them to me).
    3) Is it possible that the internet traffic of the owner of the Time Capsule is being re-routed through my computer? My internet connection is indeed more unstable and slower than that of my colleagues (using Windows or Linux) but I can't figure out why.
    Thank you.
    iMac 21" (Late 2012, iMac13,1)
    Mac OS X (10.9.5)
    Airport Utility 6.3.2

    1. It isn't connected, but Airport Utility sees in on the network.
    2. There shouldn't be any data traffic unless you initiate it.
    3. Highly unlikely.
