I have a Power PC G4 which is running on OSX 10.5.8, it has the AirPort utility but cannot connect to the internet as my iMac can, I think I might need an AirPort Card? Is that the case or do I need something different to connect to a wireless modem?

I have a Power PC G4 which is running on OSX 10.5.8, it has the AirPort utility but cannot connect to the internet as my iMac can, I think I might need an AirPort Card? Is that the case or do I need something different to connect to a wireless modem?

Welcome!
Only one variant of the PowerMac G4 could use the faster Airport Extreme Card. The rest used the original Airport card that is pretty slow.
To get fast wireless without buying more than one thing, consider this:
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Edimax/EW7722IN/
It goes in an available PCI slot
There are USB solutions also. However, all PowerMac G4 towers had only slower USB 1.1 ports, so any USB wireless adaptor can only run at about wireless 'B" speeds (slow) unless you also install a PCI USB 2.0 adaptor card. Doing that would allow a USB wireless adaptor to run at its maximum rated speed. These items working together would accomplish that:
USB wireless "dongle:"
Newer Technology MAXPower 802.11n/g/b USB Adapter + Plug and play direct or with extension cradle
USB PCI adaptor:

Each approach has its advantages. The PCI wireless card is a one-piece solution that takes up no desk space. The USB2 card+USB2 Dongle gives you more fast ports for transferring date from other external USB devices (primarily cameras and external hard drives) at hugely faster rates than can the original ports. I have a USB 2 PCI card in my G4 tower strictly for transferring images from my digital SLR camera in a timely manner.

  • Time Capsule 4 gen. with iMac OS X Lion   3 Windows PC (XP OS, Vista OS, Seven OS) cable modem with TC as Wi-Fi. Time Machine on iMac found TC for backup easily. Have Wi-Fi access on PC XP with Airport utility but cannot create TC.

    Installed today Time Capsule 4 gen. with iMac OS X Lion. I also have  3 Windows PC (XP OS, Vista OS, Seven OS). Internet Access is cable modem with TC as Wi-Fi. Time Machine on iMac found TC for backup easily. Have Wi-Fi access on PC XP with Airport utility but cannot create TC. Does the Airport utility under Windows is way to access backup capabilities with TC ?

    The TC is really just an external networked hard disk plus router.. you can access the hard disk and place files on it from any computer. You can backup any computer to the TC but it will have to use a backup software in windows.. there are literally thousands available. The built in msbackup is horrible.. but you can download lots of different software and buy then online for not a lot. Macrium Reflect has a free disk image backup, and when you pay for it includes incremental. I think disk images are well worth it, as they recover much better.. and their is a proper method of recovery using a boot cd.
    BTW the TC space is not endless. And it is designed to hold a large number of incremental backups.. so anything you do in backing up several machines will make the number of backups limited. Remember you can also use a usb hard disk plugged in as a Network accessible disk. But it has to be formatted HFS+ or Fat32.. the later being highly undesirable.

  • I went to the apple store because i had a bug on the operating system on my iphone 5, they updated the operating system but they told me not to restore my phone, can I restore my pictures and contacts or will it bring the bug back again?

    i was having problems with my phone so i went into the apple store and it turns out there was a problem with my operating systerm so i got an update in the store. I want to get my contacts and my pictures back from my old iphone but when I was in the apple shop the man told me to start the phone as a new phone instead of restoring it from an earlier back up as i could get the bug back once restored, is there any way for me to get my pictures and contacts back without restoring it and getting the bug? Thanks

    You should restore from the back up so you can get the info back on your device. Then, what you can do is import those pictures to your computer.
    At that point, you'll want to restore again as new possibly, then once your phone is as new, use iTunes to sync those picture from your computer back to your phone.
    As far as contacts, do you know if those were ever backed up to iCloud? If so, all you should need to do is sign in with you iCloud account.

  • I just installed the Airport utility but cannot see it on my iPad.

    I have looked in every folder, restarted my iPad but I cannot find it. The App store shows the app is installed.

    You can do a search for it on the iPad - at least when you find it - you can set it up and use it until you locate the icon.
    Swipe to the right from the home screen and the search feature appears. Type the name of the app in the text field at the top and then tap on the app icon when it shows up to launch the app.
    You can connect your iPad to your computer, launch iTunes, select your iPad on the left side and then click on the apps tab and look at all of the screens on the iPad in there - maybe it is on another screen that is beyond what you can get to by swiping.
    You restarted but you could also try resetting the iPad and see if the app shows up.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • Disk Shows Up in AirPort Utility But Not On Network

    I have a brand new AEBS. My network consists of my Windows XP box and an Apple TV.
    Using MacDrive, I formatted my external hard drive to HFS+. It is blank. When I plug it into my AEBS I can see it under the Disks pane in AirPort Utility, but cannot find it on the network (and obviously it doesn't auto-mount).
    Currently my machine is part of a Windows Active Directory domain (it is my work laptop). However, I've tried logging into the machine itself (rather than the domain) and setting up a Workgroup that I then set under the File Sharing tab of AirPort Utility. Same result.
    I've tried all of the suggestions I've read so far, such as mounting from the IP of the base station and the name of the disk. Nothing. Disabled my firewall. Nothing.
    Any help would be appreciated. Also, it would obviously be the best case scenario if I could mount the drive while logged into the domain. I'm not sure what I should place as the Workgroup under the File Sharing pane for that. I've tried the name of the domain and the name of the domain's network, but neither work. I guess this would be tackled once I can see the disk at all while not logged into the domain.
    Thanks,
    Chad

    Can anyone shed some light on this issue? Right now I'm actually thinking about just returning the AEBS.

  • Do you need a credit card to buy the sketchbook proor can you use itunes cards?

    do you need a credit card to buy the sketchbook pro or can you use itunes cards?

    Hi..
    It might depend on the tax rate for your location.
    If you are in the U.S. >  http://www.bankrate.com/finance/taxes/check-taxes-in-your-state.aspx
    If taxes or fees are applied to the $59.99, I doubt that $60.12 will cover it. You may need to purchase another iTunes gift card which you can redeem to increase the funds available.
    it is 59.99 dollers and i have 60.12 and it goes to the billing part
    If there are not funds available you will see a dialog asking you to edit your payment information. When there are not sufficient funds, the difference between the purchase amount and funds available is deducted from a credit or debit card account. If you don't want to have a credit or debit card then purchase another iTunes gift card.

  • HT5022 I'm trying to add a "new client" to my wireless network using Airport Utility, but I can't find that option in the new version.  I've downloaded all available updates of the OS and the utility..  Help!

    I'm trying to add my HP wireless printer as a "new client" to my wireless network using Airport Utility, but I can't find that option in the new version.  I've downloaded all available updates of the OS and the utility..  Help!

    Why would you need to ADD a new Client. Unless the APE sytem is completely different then any other Wireless router the printer should get an IP address from the router. That is IF the printer is setup to get an IP from the LAN DHCP server.
    Now you may want to make that IP it does get a Staticly assign IP address so it never changes, which will screw up printing if it does change. But i don't know if you can do that with APE routers.

    I bought a second apple tv and would like to control it with the remote app but cannot find a way to add a second device.  Anyone have an idea how to do that?

    I'm having the same issue and would like to get some help.  I set up a second Apple TV in our bedroom and wanted to be able to control it using my iPhone like I do with the Apple TV in the living room.  The new Apple TV is active on the network and I've made sure the same Apple ID is used for both the Apple TV as well as the Remote App on my iPhone.  I'm just wondering what I might be overlooking.

    Hi  adil,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you encountered the error “Cannot make a cache safe URL for "1025/styles/Themable/corev4.css", file not found. Please verify that the file
    exists under the layouts directory.” .
    The issue happens in
    We have customized master page
    In the master page, we use path the script/style file like this: <SharePoint:CssRegistration name="<% $SPUrl:~SiteCollection/Style Library/coe/mainCOE.css%>"
    runat="server"/>
    While using the dynamic path in a multiple languages enabled site, language Id(1033 etc) will be added to the path automatically. That cause the file to be not found.

  • 22591 The specified computer name (%ComputerName;) is already in use by another virtual machine or by a virtual machine configuration object. Ensure that the computer name is unique in the VMM environment, and then try again.

    Hello everyone,
    I recently bummed into an error message when I want to deploy a service template.
    Setup:
    1 HyperV server on win2k12 r2
    1 SCCM VMM 2k12r2 on the hyperv server
    1 template with all the objects in the library
    Error:
    When I deploy the the service template I get the below error message.
    22591
    The specified computer name (%ComputerName;) is already in use by another virtual machine or by a virtual machine configuration object.
    Ensure that the computer name is unique in the VMM environment, and then try again.
    The issue is that I can't find it anywhere, not on my domain controller not on my dns server as a record and also not as a vm in sccm or in powershell when doing get-vm. So where do I need to remove it ( no it is not an option to create a new Hostname for
    this service template ).
    Andre

    There could be a couple things happening.
    One - you have a Service Template, it defines %Computername% as a variable.  And you have deployed this Template once using 'foo' and you are deploying it again as 'foo' without deleting the previous instance.
    Two - you hardcoded the computer name into the template.
    Three - you are scaling out and you have hit the bug that the wizard does not increment the machinename if you have something like computername## where SCVMM should be incrementing the machine name.
    Windows does not support identically named machines (you can't have two machines on the same network with the same computer name - they broadcast their name and the 'second' one shuts down its network stack).  In support of this SCVMM also enforces
    this rule.
    And with any templates SCVMM is in charge of machine names at deployment.
