Anyone know a USB wireless adaptor compatible with 10.5.2?

I have a Belkin F5D7050 adaptor, got all sorts of issues with it, I've set my mac up on the net and a wireless network through it, using a Ralink driver, it works but every so often the mac crashes.
So, need a new adaptor or better drivers! Had a search around but can't find much. Any suggestions?
Much appreciated.

To expand, Airport is a Mac OS X structure, Apple normally rename boring tech to something more cool e.g
Airport = 802.11b
Airport Extreme = 802.11g
However, with that in mind Apple do write their own drivers to support chipsets they actually use, hence my recommendation of a BroadCom equipped card.
As for installation, simply open your case, remove one of the blanking plates on the PCI slots (one screw), push the new card in and then the screw can go back. Close the Mac, start up and it should be seen automatically.
Refer to your manual for location of the PCI slots.

    It's not even compatible with Windows 7 and probably you will find many browser compatibility issues if generating webhelp.

  • USB wireless adaptor DNW with SL?

    Hola. I have an Edimax EW-7811un wireless USB dongle that I am trying to get hooked up in Mac Mini 1.66ghz with 10.6.8 SL. According to their specs and tech support, it is supposed to be compatible with Mac. per their tech support instructions, I have installed the recommended driver. I do not believe that the unit recognizes the device when I plug it in, as nothing happens. I did confirm that it works on Windows XP unit, so guessing the dongle itself is not defective. The other USB ports on the mini are fine. The built-in wifi is not 802.11N so I thought this was best solution to spending big $$ to upgrade.
    Is there any work around to get this device lit? or does anyone have other brand/model suggestion?
    Thanks!

    I am able to pull 11-15 mbps with the mini in same room as my router, but the test graph on speedtest.net certainly shows a lot of spikes and dips. There does not seem to be too much of a diff between the internal b/g card and the N USB device. One would guess that 11-15 mbps would be plenty adequate to stream Netflix right? Video is very, very chunky (on FF + Safari, which are recommended Netflix browsers).
    Just to reiterate, I am running a brand new SL install 10.6.8 and have done all updates (except iTunes). I have installed 2gb RAM (max for this unit). There are no other pgms installed or running. Even when connected direct with ethernet cable, netflix is still unwatchable.
    Sooo... I am guessing that this issue is not caused by the wireless connectivity, which was my initial challenge here. Are there any settings to (re)configure the RAM (which I installed at same time as new OS), or somehow alter the cache to make streaming run better?
    Many thanks!

  • Anyone know if "Clickbook" will be compatible with Mountain Lion?

    Just need to know if Clickbook will work with mountain lion?
    Thanks

    Unfortunately, I just found out that my clickbook has stopped working with my mountain lion.  Previously worked well.  Now it just prints blank pages.  However, a workaround is to print a previous in clickbook (which for some reason works) then print the pdf the preview creates.  If anyone hears of a fix I would be glad to know.  Blue Squirrel's online process says that my clickbook version. 4.08 should work with mountain liion.  This may mean that it is a problem only with my configuration not anyone elses.  Input anyone?

  • Does anyone know if Wine app is compatible with Mavericks?

    Want to know if Wine works fine before upgrading.

    Yes.  Installing Mavericks aiutomatically deletes Java, which SPSS needs to work properly.  So, after updating to Mavericks, you'll need to download and reinstall Java, which you can download here: <https://www.java.com/en/download/mac_download.jsp?locale=en>.
    Download Java from Oracle's website, then install.  After install, you'll need to quit your browser and then reopen it. That'll complete the Java install, and Java will reappear in your Systems Preferences again.
    Once Java is installed SPSS 21 should run just fine.  I just tested it after reinstallling Java and it opens up and works perfectly.  It should, therefore, also work fine with SPSS v22.  Not sure if it works with SPSS v20.
    Hope that helps!

  • Belkin USB wireless adaptor drivers

    Does anyone know where I can get a driver for the belkin usb wireless adaptor? The one listed on their website only works with OSX 10.3 and not 10.4 installed on this machine? do apple provide any third party drivers for this problem? The machine is out of its applecare period so I can't ask apple themselves.
    Thanks
    Jon

    If Belkin doesn't have a driver compatible with 10.4 you're out of luck. Apple does not provide drivers for third party hardware.

  • Wireless camera compatible with iChat

    Does anyone know of a wireless webcam that works with iChat?
    I found a bluetooth one but that has limited range of 10 to 30 feet. It would be nice to have longer range. Would that need to be a wifi webcam? All the ones I find seem to only be used in the context of a web browser rather than an application like iChat.
    thanks

    Hi,
    This is the site we normally point people towards
    http://www.mac-compatible-web-cam.com/ (don't allow the redirect)
    It tends to list a history of older Cameras down the left with Amazon links to second hand ones.
    I did not see any WiFi ones listed there though and only one Bluetooth one.
    As the default for a Camera nowadays is essentially a UVC (USB Video Class) compatible camera and these work in Vista upwards and 10.4.9 upwards for Macs the redirect site is here http://www.uvccompatiblewebcams.com/
    I did a Google Search for Wifi WebCams
    This one for instance would work over your WiFi Network.
    The Tech Specs say Windows only though and the output is not a format iChat can "see".
    iChat can interpret DV signals from Firewire device (Camera or DV converter).
    It can since 10.4.9 "see"/use UVC cameras.
    Pre Snow Leopard older (USB 1.1) Cameras that had Specific Mac Drivers (Or worked with third party Drivers) could be got into iChat with iUSBCam (No longer supported in Snow Leopard).
    A web browser is going to use Quicktime to access any Video it "sees".
    Although iChat does use Quicktime it is limited to the formats I have mentioned above.
    This Article from 2004 uses a second Mac with a Firewire external iSight back to a central point and then Evocam and Security Spy to upload pics to a server/Web site.
    This one "sort of" imported Video on one iChat computer and streamed that to another when cetain conditions were met (used Status Messages like iTune Remote does).
    CamcamX may provide you with a means of getting other Video into iChat.
    A Bluetooth Hub may be another options.
    Basically I think you will find it difficult to find a Wifi Camera that can get Video into iChat.
    The same may be true of Blue Tooth ones as well. Although this one does advertise it will work with iChat.
    There are ways of "Converting" video using third party apps that may get the Incoming Video into iChat.

  • Has anyone successfully used the Intuit Quicken compatible with Lion upgrade for investment tracking?

    Has anyone successfully used the Intuit Quicken compatible with Lion upgrade for investment tracking?

    Although I gave up investment tracking for personal reasons (I had used Quicken Deluxe 2002 for many years for that reason), my understanding is that the new Quicken 2007 for Lion/Mt. Lion is completely the same feature wise as Quicken 2007 for PPC.  It will run on Snow Leopard, too.
    For $15, why not download it and just try it and LET US KNOW!

  • I need USB wireless adaptor any suggestions?

    I am connected to the internet via an ethernet cable, no wireless here. So I cannot use my iPad, can I use  a USB wireless adaptor? what type? any suggestions as all of the USB adaptors on the market seem to be for Windows. I am in Pune India, where can I buy a suitable adaptor?

    I am on a large ethernet network so a little worried about 'opening' it's internet connection, should I be?
    Well, a USB wireless adapter would do the same thing as the link I provided. Basically, anyone within about 10 to 15 meters of your computer would be able to access the wireless network.
    An Aiport Extreme base station would allow security options to restrict access to a specific devices, require passwords, encryption, etc. If this is a business environment the best thing to do would be to talk to the IT department for an official solution.

  • Trouble installing USB wireless adaptor & Network settings.

    We have a 17" iMac flat panel, 1.25 GHz PowerPC G4. We just upgraded the memory to 1 GB. We're running 10.4.11
    Dh wants to use his iPod Touch and share the internet connection with our G4. We purchased the following USB wireless adaptor by MAXPower:
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Newer%20Technology/MXP802NU2C/
    We installed the software, but cannot figure out how to set it up from there.
    Never mind that for now. Dh says he sees a second computer in the near future and thinks we need a proper wireless network.
    I was going to uninstall the MAXPower software and I can't figure that out either. I found the Uninstall icon, but it is asking me for a password. @@
    The thing that concerns me is when I go to System Preferences---> Network, a window pops down saying "Your Network Settings Have Been Changed By Another Application". When I click OK, the window goes up, then immediately comes back down. I can't close the window, or close System Preferences without Force Quitting.
    Dh is voting for bagging the MAXPower, getting an Airport Extreme Card and an Airport Extreme Base Station.
    I want to fix the glitch in Network.
    Ideas?

    hey there chelap,
    had a similar problem w/ an iMac 800 MHz G4. it was caused by me switching a USB printer to an Airport Extreme Base Station 802.11g, from its port on the iMac-- iMac too old, it used 802.11 b. it changed "network settings". try d/c'ing the device & delete the software to see if this eliminates the annoying screen popping off/on.
    i'm not familiar w/ this product you're trying to use but, in reading the product page it doesn't create a Wi-Fi network, it lets you use a Mac w/ out a Wi-Fi card to connect to a Wi-Fi network--this product isn't a Wi-Fi router which you need for what it sounds like you're trying to do. i agree w/ Dh about the AE card(can be found fairly lo-$$ on eBay & pretty simple to install), though this device may work once you have established a Wi-Fi network & the AEBS, even an Airport Express will work as a base station to create a Wi-Fi network. also sharing an internet connection isn't quite the same as having a local Wi-Fi network. having a local network provides more options like using the iPod Touch + the Remote app to control iTunes or Front Row(an app) should you run Mac OS X Leopard/Snow Leopard on this &/or a later model Mac(G5 or Intel) as well as stream audio/video, share other kinds of files to the 2nd Mac.
    good luck.

    Get a Virtual Macine software program, Parallels, VMware Fusion or VirtualBox, and install XP in a virtual machine.
    You can't install XP in a Boot Camp Partition with Lion or Mt Lion, only Win 7.

  • I got my iphone 5 3 weeks ago and the battery life is very short. It drains out very fast. Does anyone know if it's a problem with the iOS or with my phone? Because I'm a bit concerned

    I recieved my iPhone 5 3 weeks ago and the battery life completely *****! After doing a few things and maybe using it for about 30 minutes the phone start overheating like crazy then the battery starts dropping very fast. Does anyone know if it's a problem with the iOS or with my phone? And is anyone else expierenceing these problems?

    It sounds like you have an app that is incorrectly continuously using data and power... from normal use the phone should NOT be getting that warm... only constant video playing via data like Netflix for example would result in that...
    I'd say that you should remove all apps in the recent app tray... tunr phone off... then once you power back on...
    Hold BOTH home and sleep wake buttons together until you see a white apple symbol... then release both buttons...
    This will ensure you have no apps running...
    I've experienced a hang up with mail while out and about that has resulted in this on my iPhone as well... Once I performed these steps it was fixed... it seemed like it got stuck and that's what caused the warm phone and battery drain...
    I notived that when it gets stuck (mail app that is) I will see the text connecting at the bottom and it never changes to "updated" like it should... this is my trigger that it's gotten stuck.
    Have not really figured out what causes mail app to get stuck yet...
