I have macbook OS X 10.5.6, and recently acquired an airport (4.1) from my grandmother, who has a slightly earlier version of the macbook.
I decided i want to try to use it to print. I plug it in and it comes up in my network as 'sue's airport'(it was my g-mas) but the light is yellow and won't give me internet access. I don't mind though, because i already have wifi.
but i would like to use it to print. I've plugged it in to the outlet and the printer's USB. i tried printing bu it didn't work.I tried going to airport utility and it scanned but said it couldn't find an airport. mind you i was like 2 feet away from it.
So i put in the CD to try and install it, but during the installation, during 'destination select' this came up: 'You cannot install AirPort 4.1 on this volume. Your AirPort software is currently up to date.' i have enuugh room, and can't figure out why it won't let me install!
please help!
AND THEN si tried restarting it and it came up in airport utility. Everything was going great, i named it and configured it with my wireless network. But then after it said the update was complete, it was lost again
I can't even find it in my wireless networks dropdown, where it was before
