Why can't I install airport express utility onto my computer

I need to install the airport utility from the disc onto my compter. When I tried to install the utility it would not allow me to install it, because the software on the computer was not supported. Any suggestions on how to get the utility from the airport express disc that was bought during snow leopard to be installed on a computer running lion.

It is true that the 6.x versions of the AirPort Utililty do NOT support administration of the 802.11g AirPorts, but I am not aware that version 5.6 cannot be installed on OS X Lion 10.7.4 as I have it installed already. However, I installed it back when I was still running 10.7.3.
Unfortunately, I do not have another Mac running 10.7.4 without 5.6 to verify that it cannot be installed.

  • Can I use the airport express with a desktop computer that is not wire less- I want to have wifi in the house for an iphone

    Can i use the airport express with a desktop computer not wifi- I want wifi for my iphone

    I can't seem to find any information anywhere.  It seems like it should work since the AX is showing up on his wifi settings on both his iPhone and iPod.  Not to mention the Apple "Genius" told him that it should work.  However, they also told him that it came with an ethernet, USB and the stereo patch cables...

  • Why can't I install Photoshop Elements 8 on my computer?

    I currently have Windows 7 - I purchased Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 at Best Buy over a week ago and still can't install the software.  I've contacted Adobe Support more than once.  My experience has been HORRIBLE.
    1.     I went online and verified that my system meets all of the requirements for this program.
    2.     I went through every single trouble shooting item I could find.  This has taken me approximately 2 days.
    3.     I called Adobe Support and spoke with someone who couldn't understand what I was saying and kept telling me that he could not help me because i bought this through a 3rd party online service - no, I didn't... I bought this from Best Buy!  I had to repeat this more than 4x before he finally understood what I was saying.
    4.     He suggested I download the trial version from the Adobe website.  (I'm thinking, why would I do this when I paid $100 for the actual software?)  But I tried it anyway.
    5.     Since I've downloaded the trial version, it's been working OK - but now I'm trying to enter my serial number before my trial ends and it's pulling up as an invalid serial number!
    6.     I go back to Best Buy to return this so I can just purchase the program online - they will not take it back and says I have to go through Adobe... (sigh)... here we go again.
    7.     I call Adobe again, spoke with someone else who was having a difficult time understanding me.  I explained everything above - he told me I have to uninstall my trial version and install the program with the software... THIS DOES NOT WORK!  (Which is what I told him in the beginning of the call)
    Does anyone have any input on how I can attempt to install this on my computer, or am I really out $100 on my very first Adobe product?  I'm beginning to lose faith in this very troublesome experience... =(  I would love to speak with someone who can understand what I am asking and what kind of help I am looking for.  I just need to be able to install the software with a valid serial number, or instructions to just return this product all together.
    Please help!

    Hi Rosera,
    This is bad and I am sorry to hear that you are running into these issues.
    Let me connect with you, so right now, the current state is that you have installed copy of PSE 8 in trial on your windows 7 machine, and when you are trying to enter the serial number from your PSE 8 Box, it is saying the serial number to be invalid?
    It might sound pretty obvious, but please make sure that you are entering the serial number correctly and of PSE 8(in case you bought a PEPE box)?
    Have you tried the steps mentioned below by Barbara?
    If possible, you can send me the serial number through PRIVATE MESSAGE and I can check it on my end that whether the serial number is indeed invalid or that the issue is with your machine?
    Regards,
    Ankush

  • Why can't I install Creative Cloud on my second computer?

    I'm having trouble install Creative Cloud on my 2nd computer -- MacBook Pro. I download the app and clicked on the Installer, and when I initializing the installer, I get this message: Adobe Creative Cloud is needed to resolve this problem. However, it is missing or damaged. Please download and install a new copy of the Creative Cloud from "http:www.adobe.com/go/adobecreativecloudapp'. So I click on Get Creative Cloud and the downloading cycle begin again. Also, it asks for Adobe Application Manager. Does anyone have any solutions? Thanks.

    The CC has been activated twice, April 2013, July 2014, it needs to deactivated from one of the computer to install it on the second computer, it might be that accidentally, it has been activated twice.
    Activation & Deactivation Help
    In case the previous computer is not available to De-activate then you can choose to " De activate all" while installing & activating it now, it deactivate the previous one & activate this with one activation count remaining.

  • Why can't i install ox x Marvericks on my computer.

    From MC
    I have a Macbook Pro. 13.3 inc. 6 Gb of memory and 350gb space.
    OS : 10.7 Lion
    it meets all the requirement to upgrade to OX Marvericks. When I click on the link  nothing happens. The download link goes in a circlue and then ends. nothing happens.
      it see its when I click on download or update nothing happens. what can I do. I should have option at least to download and so on but nothing happens.

    Some users have found that by logging out of the Mac App Store and then logging back in and starting over, they have managed to get the download to start. It's a 5.3gb download and can sometimes seem to take a long time to give an indication that download is under way.
    Also take a look at this link under 'Stalled download':

  • Can't install AirPort Express Software

    Help!
    Trying to install AirPort Express Software in my computer. It's an iMac 1.25 GHz PowerPC G4. It was installed with OS X 10.3 with updates through 10.3.9. I recently installed Leopard 10.5 and it is now updated to version 10.5.1. But, when I try to install the software for my new AirPort Express, it says "you cannot install AirPort on this volume. The version of Mac OS X on this volume is not supported." Huh? AirPort express says it can be used by computers working on OS X 10.4 or later. What might be my problem? THANKS!
    Terry

    Duane,
    Thank you for your speedy response!!!!
    When I open the AirPort Utility.app, a window opens called AirPort Utility, the twirly/stopwatch icon goes into motion next to the words"Discovering Base Stations." After this happens for some seconds, these words appear...
    "AirPort Utility was unable to find any AirPort base stations. Please make sure the AirPort base station you want to set up is plugged in and in range of your computer, and then click rescan to try again."
    My express is plugged in five feet from my computer. What to do....?
    Many thanks!

  • HT4587 I downloaded Airport Express Utility 5.6 to get my Airport Express to work with the latest Mac OSX 10.7.4, but when I install and run it, it still says my Airport Express is out-of-date and needs the 5.6 utility.

    I downloaded and installed Airport Express Utility 5.6 to get my old Airport Express to work with the latest Mac OSX 10.7.4, but when I install and run it, it still says my Airport Express is out-of-date and needs the 5.6 utility. What's up?

    It is likely that you downloaded AirPort Utility 5.6.1.  If you checked the requirements, this only runs on Leopard or Snow Leopard Macs.
    You have Lion, so you need AirPort Utility 5.6 for Mac OS X Lion

  • Why can't my Lion airport utility find any of my routers?

    I recently installed Lion on my 2008 MBP. Now the new airport utility cannot find any of my routers. However, my G5 leopard imac can still see my airport express and airport extreme routers. All I see on my MBP is a globe with an orange circle and the word 'Internet' below it. I also see an endlessly spinning wheel at the bottom. Any ideas? I'm connected to the network wirelessly and I have an internet connection. So, I don't understand why airport utility cannot see any of the routers.
    Thanks,
    Henry

    Thanks, that did the trick. I didn't realize they had a different airport version for the older airport hardware....

  • HT1515 Just installed Airport Express on Mac 10.6.8  Can't see base station.  Hard Reset the Airport.  Rebooted machine.  How can I tell if this is a Mac problem or Airport Express Problem?

    I have a Mac 10.6.8.  Just installed Airport Express.  I can't see any base stations.  I did a hard reset on the Airport Express, turned off all devices,  turned them back on.   I see plenty of Airport networks in the neighborhood.  How can I tell if I have a Mac problem or an Airport Express problem?  Airport Express blinks Amber. 

    Obviously,  I'm still using ethernet to be able to reply to this.
    Alright, use the same ethernet cable to plug directly into the airport express. This will FORCE the airport utility to now see it regardless of weak signals & interference. You can set it up that way.
    BTW, what is the original intent on the express?

    How can i install Airport Express A 1264 on os x 10.9.2

    Hello chawich
    All you should need is Airport Utility that is located in the Utilities folder that sits in the Application folder. If you have an iOS device, you can also set it up with that device with Airport Utility or in Wi-Fi section in Settings.

  • Why can't I install software for AirPort Extreme 802.11n while running Mountain Lion OSX?

    Why can't I install software for AirPort Extreme 802.11n while running Mountain Lion OSX?  The installation CD simply says that the software can't be installed while running this OSX.

    Mountain Lion already has the most recent, updated version of AirPort Utility installed on your Mac. The version on your CD is out of date, so you can trash the CD.
    Look in Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility.

  • Can't install AirPort Express Assistant because I already have Utilities

    Just having some annoying trouble here.
    I have a MacBook Pro that came installed with AirPort Utilities, and it has the latest version.
    I bought an AirPort Express so I could stream music to my speakers with AirTunes. I'm not hooking an ethernet cable to the airport, because my wireless already works fine in my house.
    I need to install AirPort Express Assistant in order to set up the network between the express and my computer, but I can't even use the CD it came with because once I get to the part to select where I want to save it, it says "this computer already has a more recent version of AirPort on it etc..." However, I only have Utilities, not the assistant.
    With the Express plugged in, I go to Utilities and it doesn't pick anything up, which makes sense. So basically, what can I do?
    I tried deleting Utilities off my computer so I could just install the whole CD but even that did nothing.
    Thanks.

    Your version of Snow Leopard already had the latest version of AirPort Utility 5.5.1, which is the version that you should use to configure the AirPort Express.
    The disk which came with the AirPort Express was produced some time ago and the version of AirPort Utility on the disk is out of date.
    Not sure what you mean by Assistant. There is a guided setup process in AirPort Utility that is initiated when you click the Continue button. That may be what you are thinking of.
    You made a mistake by deleting AirPort Utility 5.5.1 from your computer. You should download AirPort Utility 5.5.1 and install it so that you can configure your AirPort Express.
