Fire up your Airfoil again, boys -- RogueAmoeba has already updated it for full compatibility with the Airport update.
Way to go, Rogue Amoeba!
I updated TimeCapsule and I now get conecting errors with Time machine.
I can't figure out how to solve this.
I installed the update on my 1TB first gen. Time Capsule and my wireless range is all but non-existent. I used to be able to use my laptops (plural) upstairs with full strength but now they don't connect and when they do it's for about 15 seconds with one bar. Joy.
Guess I'll stick with a wired connection for now.
My dad applied these updates on his Time Capsule and now the first back up is one from Nov 2008 and all his Mail back ups are gone. Apple do we have any effin quality control anymore?

My wife updated her parent's base station, and it lost the password... They're using a 17" macbook pro (last model pre-unibody) with an extreme base station (n & gigabit but not dual broadcasting) and the wireless network is set to not broadcast the SSID.

FYI....
No it doesn't. Any "breaks" are specific to your machine/set-up.
Airfoli works as perfect as it always has.
In my case, to four different Airports (4 different stereos) throughout my house.

This Airport update broke Airfoil, which I use to stream music from Pandora to a stereo. Anyone else with same problem, or suggestions?
June 24 2009 at 11:20 AM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyRogue Amoeba released a 3.3.1 update to Airfoil that says it fixes the problem with 7.4.2.
June 24 2009 at 7:03 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyI, like many users complaining in Apple support forums, was having severe internet issues with my second generation touch since the 3.0 update. I expected an update to my iPod to fix it, but this fix for my airport extreme did the job.
