Why Can't I upload Air Extreme Utility on iMac with Mountain Lion?

I purchased an Airport Extreme and didn't  install it until after I upgraded to Mountain Lion.  When I try to upload the cd disk utility an error message pops up and says the hardrive/software is not compatible and I can't continue. 
Can someone help me.

The iMac should have WiFi.
Open System Preferences and go to Network.
Select WiFi
Enable the "Show Wi-Fi status in menu bar" if you want to always see what your connection state looks like.
If the button says Turn Wi-Fi On, click it.
In the Network Name, look for a network that has a bunch of random-looking characters and numbers (I can't remember what format the default network has).
Select it. You should then be able to connect to and configure your airport extreme with Airport Utility.
If no-go, then connect a cable between the Airport Base Station and your iMac (temporarily to get it set up).
Once connected, you should be able to see and configure the base station in Airport Utility.

  • Why can't i use my flagged pictures in sreensaver with mountain lion

    in the previous OS i was able to sellect my flagged pics in iphoto to use in my screensaver also it would put a diffrent pic on my two screens.  Now with mountain lion i can't figure out how to do either of these things.  Has anyone elce had this issue?

    Apple appears to have significantly changed the Screen Savers tab in System Preferences.  I was able to select the Flagged smart album (or any other iPhoto album for that matter) by selecting the type of slideshow (from the 'Slideshow' section).  Then selected the "Source" popup menu box, selected "iPhoto Library..." then selected the Flagged (or whatever iPhoto album/event you want).  Then select the "Choose" button and you are done.

    How can I make my first generation AirPort Express work with Mountain Lion? I have a 13" MacBook Pro (non-retina).

    Hi guys, recently had the same issue. You require an older version of Airport Utility to configure the older Airport Express. It can be found here.

    Log a bug with Apple, with whatever details you can provide.  In the interrim, consider acquiring a router; either a repurposed x86 box running open-source networking or gateway software, or a commercial device.

  • Why does my iMac (with Mountain Lion) no longer recognize my external hard drive I have used as a back up via Time Machine after the hard drive was accidentally unplugged?

    Why does my iMac (with Mountain Lion) no longer recognize my external hard drive I have used as a back up via Time Machine after the hard drive was accidentally unplugged?

    Do you mean the external hard drive is not mounted on the iMac desktop?
    Check if Disk Utility sees the drive. Applications / Utilities / Disk Utility. If the external shows up in the left column, select it and click on Mount.
    If it does show up this way, I recommend using DU to Repair Disk.

    Hi, I can't get my old wacom intuos2 to work with mountain lion, any suggestions? Apart from buy a new tablet.

    I was out of town for a few days. I had no issue installing the driver on Mountain Lion (10.8.2). What specifically happens when you try to install?
    If you get this message:
    then you need to right-click on the installer package and select 'Open' when you get this message:
    If this isn't your issue you need to be more specific about what is happening.

  • Did macbook air mid 2009 running slow with mountain lion?

    did macbook air mid 2009 running slow with mountain lion?

    Yours is the first computer I've heard about on these forums that is attempting to run Mavericks with only 2GB of RAM.
    Indeed that is acceptable per the Mavericks requirements:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5842
    ... but as you may know, Apple has not sold computers with as little as 2GB RAM for quite a while.
    I suggest therefore you make sure you remove any applications that may be overtaxing your machine.  Examples are browsers other than Safari, Mac cleaning products (such as Mac Keeper), or any other non-Apple app that has some startup process running (such as Outlook).

  • Why does my iMac with Mountain Lion fail to print.

    My iMac with Mountain Lion fails to find my 2 networked printers on 50% of the occasions I try to print.  Even though I have earlier switched the iMac on, the only way I can get the iMac to see the printers is to restart the iMac?  After that I have no more probs.  Leaving the iMac on standby overnight doesn't seem to help as the problem frequently re-occurs the next day
    The Brother Laserjet printer and iMac are cabled to my router, while the HP Photoprint uses wi-fi connection. There is a PC/Windows 7 also on the network which shares the printers.
    I seem to get no help from the Printer utilities in system preferences.
    Any suggestions what I need to do to eliminate this apparent breakdown in communication between the printers and my iMac.

    Hello Mike17swr,
    Thanks for the post. I'm not sure which model of Photosmart printer that you have connected, but I have included a link below with some great t-shooting steps to help identify the issue.  Good Luck!

  • Can I stream a dvd to my apple tv with mountain lion?

    I have a 2009 MBP 13 and want to send a dvd to my apple tv. wlll this work with Mountain Lion, or Snow Leopard?

    Sorry, but there is no way to stream a physical DVD from any Mac, regardless of the OS it's running. If this DVD is not copy-protected (most commercial DVDs are), you can convert it and import it into iTunes and then stream it from your Mac.
    Regards.

  • HT2476 Can I still use iPHOTO 6/iMovie 6/Appleworks with Mountain Lion?

    My partners and clients require those formats and are unlikely to upgrade to anything that does not run them., which is why we have not moved to Lion.

    I don't know about iPhoto 6 - but would assume no.
    Appleworks is a PPC app and will neither install nor run. I maintain an external partition with a full bootable clone of Snow Leopard for the occasional use of Appleworks.
    As for  iMovie HD 6: not sure if you can install it (if the installer is PPC, then you can't). I am actually running iMovie HD 6.04 which was a .dmg made available for free download by Apple for unhappy iMovie 8 buyers. I use it because I prefer it over later versions (which I have). The caveat: you must install iMovie 8 first, otherwise the .dmg of 6.04 will not install. Since 6.04 is sort of an update, I don't know if the original version 6 would install or not. The only way to know is to hear from someone who has done that or try it yourself.
    FWIW, I have used the iMovie HD 6.04 in both Lion and Mountain Lion. It will occasionally quit/crash during launch, but will usually behave itself once launched again.
    So, the best way to try it would be to create a bootable clone of your system on an external drive with CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper (and, if that includes iMovie 6, then it's already installed), and then purchase/install Mountain Lion either on your internal or external. You can try it and if you don't like it, simply wipe the drive and clone back your system.

  • How can I manage an older airport express base station with Mountain Lion?

    This version of AirPort Utility doesn't support this base station. Use AirPort Utility 5.6 to configure or manage this base station. AirPort Utility 5.6 is available at AirPort Service and Support."
    I tried to install AirPort Utility 5.6 on my Mac OSX 10.8 Mac Book and it will not allow me to.  How do I manage my "older" airport?

    The 5.6 version can be installed but it does take an alternative route to do so. For example, you can use a utility like Pacifist to first extract the utility, and then, move it to the Utilities folder. Once "installed" by this method, it runs just fine on Mountain Lion.

  • Can someone explain to me about the "Facebook" interfacing with mountain lion?
