While trying to install AirPort Time Capsule there is a window saying I need a newer version of AirPort Utility and have to download it on "www.apple.com/support/airport", otherwise the set-up will be a failure. But I don't get any newer version. Mine is 5.6.1(561.3)
G4, Mac OS X (10.4)
The latest is in the 6.3 aeries, but if you are running Mac OS X 10.4 you are not going to be able to use that version.
But I'm running a Mac 10.6.8
You have the latest AirPort Utility for the Mac OS X installed on your Mac:AirPort Utility software and firmware downloads
If you have an AirPort that wants a newer version it looks like you will have to upgrade your Mac OS X. If you are running 10.6.8, what hardware do you have? It cannot be a G4 as shown in your products line.
No , it's a MacBook Pro 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
If your AirPort is in this list:
it wants to see AirPort Utility 6.3.1 or better. To get that you have to have Lion, Mac OS X 10.7.5. Since you have a Core 2 Duo you can run Lion, or maybe higher depending on your computer. To go to Mountain Lion or Mavericks you have to have a MacBook Pro3,1 or better.
Lion is $20 from the Apple on-line store, Mavericks is free from the Mac App Store.
The 2.66 GHz Core 2 Duo was used in the MacBook Pro5,2 and a couple later models. So, your options are wide open for Mac OS X upgrade if you want to go that route.
Ok -thanks - it worked fine after upgrading to Maverick! thanks again
You are very welcome...good to hear all is operational now.
How do I get the new version of AirPort Utility????
