Just installed the new AirPort Utility v6.0. Two of my AirPort Express' have a small red ball with "1" in it.

What do these mean? I looked all over help, but can't find anything....

Thanks......

If you click on the device in AU, a little popup dialog will appear, telling you what is wrong.

Just so you can see, what I mean:

If you happen to have an iPhone, that little "red ball" with a number in it is very familiar. As Apple has made the latest Airport Utility more "app friendly", this is simply telling you (as has been suggested here), that updates are available. Click it and an "Update" button appears in addition to all the network information. Clicking on it performs the update and will then disappear -along with the little red ball (update indicator).
