Regret updating to AirPort Utility 6.0

What is your question?

I haven't had any where near the issues you appear to be having with your Airport wireless device? Did you call Apple or go to a Apple store? Another big question, did you install older firmware on your Airport to solve your problem. The Airport Utility has a the last few versions easily accessible so you can downgrade if needed.

I'm sorry you feel the way you do but I'm afraid that going to Windows isn't going to make you feel any better or make your life any easier.

One more question, what is iCloud missing that you want...?

this smells like not-a-steve-jobs creation. spots to tim cook please, who surely approved this nice creation along with the trainee team, called airport utility 6. hahaha.

Airport utility has some unreasonable limitation:

V.5.6 cannot support iCloud account

V.6.0 cannot be installed os10.6, we cannot use the old Mac to setup airport!

V6 have no windows version

Many bugs in v6

I think apple should put more effort on this utility because all the appe airport product needed this to setup and control. Otherwise, airport product will be ignored by our apple users.

hi there, I am really lost on the way apple does these upgrades. I am now in the following situation:

1. upgraded to lion (10.7.4)
2. aiport utility v6
3. v6 does NOT support my (5!) airport express versions and suggest I need to use v5.6
4. try to install v5.6 -- cannot be installed on Lion...

lets not spend time on the logic from Apple why this would make sense -- or the terrible lack of support..

Anyone have tips what to do to avoid throwing away my $$$

your help is appreciated

Worked for me - I just installed it on my computer running Lion... I saw your email, and it reminded me I haden't installed V5.6 on my laptop (Since I sold my iMac that I used to use to administer changed to the airport where I had V5.6 installed) Here is the link to the DMG I downloaded: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482

I tested it and it is running fine.

V6 is dumbed down and kinda ***. Reverting to 5.6 in a necessity for some things.

I hope it works for you.

Hi Kevin, thanks for your reply and solution!

Wow - just found out how bad the coordination and development of apple around this is...

your link works fine .. the airport utility v5.6 http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482 works fine on LION and 10.7 and above..

BUT the airport utility v5.6.1 DOESNT... (huh).. see notes below:

Version: 5.6.1

System Requirements

Mac OS X 10.5.7 to 10.6.8

Version: 5.6

System Requirements

Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2

what logic.. not to mention the v6 version..

Oh, weird. So will APU V5.6 (without the .1) work for you? Is there a big difference btween V5.6 and 5.6.1?

Just wondering,

Thanks

yup, it did..

v6.5 works,

v6.5.1 doesnt
