AirPort Utility 5.0... - eatapc

This makes no sense. Apple says, "The AirPort Base Station Update 2007-001 includes general fixes and compatibility updates for the following applications: AirPort Utility, AirPort Admin Utility for Graphite and Snow Base Stations; AirPort Disk Utility; AirPort Disk Agent." It doesn't say anything about updating only the utility that ships with the new Extreme.

It may not make any sense but Andreas is correct. Apple needs to do a better job of explaining their updates.

Don't make it even more confusing... - Andreas..

I explained what AirPort Utility 5.0 is. I did not explain what the update is for. One doesn't contradict the other.

AirPort Utility 5.0 didn't come with my AirPort Express.

From the AirPortUtilityUpdate window, right-click on "AirPortBaseStationUpdate2007001.mpkg."
Select "Show Package Contents" from the pop-up menu.
In the "AirPortBaseStationUpdate2007001.mpkg window, double-click on the "Contents" folder to open it.
In the "Contents" window, double-click on the "Packages" folder to open it.
Right-click on "AirPortUtility.pkg."
Select "Show Package Contents" from the pop-up menu.
In the "AirPortUtility.pkg window, double-click on the "Contents" folder to open it.
Double-click on "Archive.pax.gz." This will create a new folder on your Desktop, named "Applications." The AirPort Utility will be inside this new folder. You can copy or move it to your Utilities folder.

These instructions come from the website of James Clay:

Thanks James, it worked for me.
