Is there a device I can purchase to enable wifi on my old iMac, like something that plugs into the ethernet port?

Yes! There are lots of wifi adapters that will work with OS 9 on old iMacs. You can find a comprehensive list of them here:

Belkin seems to make a lot of wireless products for OS 9, so that would probably be the name to keep in mind. You can see one of these here:

If you're using an iMac G3, I think those are compatible with AirPort cards, so that's an option too. Good luck!

  • I have a macbook pro4.1 and the sound chip in it failed. My speakers and microphone no longer work. Does anyone know of an external speaker and microphone set that plugs into the USB port so I can continue to use both of these functions?

    I have a macbook pro4.1 and the sound chip in it failed. My speakers and microphone no longer work. Does anyone know of an external speaker and microphone set that plugs into the USB port so I can continue to use both of these functions and not have to pay to have the entire main board replaced. Preferably something under $100.

    I don't think you're likely to find a set of external speakers that come with a microphone and plug directly into a USB port. There are USB audio cards that look like tiny flash drives but have microphone and headphone ports in them, to which you can connect a typical two-plug Windows PC headset with a microphone, or else you can connect external speakers and a stand-alone microphone. Those adapters typically cost under $10. I don't know anything about the quality of sound that can be expected from them.
    I have a Griffin iMic, which is much the same idea but larger, a bit more expensive (retail~$40), and perhaps delivers somewhat better sound quality (I hope so, but I don't know because I've never had occasion to try one of the little ones).

  • Can Slingbox solo be plugged into the Ethernet port on airport express to connect to network?

    Slim box requires a wired connection to your network unless you purchase their sling link to create a wireless connection through your home electrical outlets.  Can an airport express be used instead?  Would the sling box plug into the Ethernet port on the express or though the USB port.

    It may be possible as the 802.11n AirPort Express can be configured to enable its Ethernet port for wired clients in one of two methods: 1) The Express is extending another AirPort, or 2) The Express is configured as a wireless Ethernet bridge.

  • I have a MacBook Pro laptop purchased in June 2011, and the superdrive no longer works.  Rather than have it replaced, I'll buy a 3rd party superdrive that plugs into the USB port.  Does it need it's own power source, or will the USB port suffice?

    I have a MacBook Pro laptop purchased in June 2011, and the superdrive no longer works.  Rather than have it replaced, I'll buy a 3rd party superdrive that plugs into the USB port.  Does the external superdrive need it's own power source, or will the USB port provide enough power?

    The Apple external SuperDrive actually exceeds the allowed power draw. Because of this, it is only trouble-free on certain models that accommodate this excess.
    All others require an external Power source.

  • After ejecting a disk plugged into the USB port using Finder, I am now getting "The disk was not properly ejected" message.  This didn't used to happen.  How can this be corrected?

    After ejecting a disk plugged into the USB port using Finder, I am now getting "The disk was not properly ejected" message.  This didn't used to happen.  How can this be corrected?

    When you right (control) click on the disk and click eject "disk name", do you pull it immeadiatly or wait a few seconds for it to unmount? Try waiting and see if you get the same message. If you do, when the disk is connected go to applications/utilities/disk utility, after opening DU, select the volume in question from the left side bar and try a permissions repair, you may also run verify disk and see if it comes up with any errors (they will be in red)

  • What can i plug into the USB port??

    Would it be possible to plug in a D-Link Bluetooth Adaptor into the Airport Express USB port?
    Also can i use a USB hub with the slot, so i can have my printer and BT adaptor plugged in?
    *nathan

    Simple answer - no.
    See AirPort Extreme, AirPort Express: Uses for the USB port
    A Bluetooth adapter of this type must only be plugged into the USB port of a computer.

    If it's the localised plug part that is broken you don't need to exactly replace it but in its stead use a standard C8 (figure 8) power cord. If you don't have one spare you can always get a really cheap one from most stores that carry electrical cables such as Radio Shack, Walmart etc etc.

  • I have just went to the Apple Retail Store and purchased an HDMI adapter that plugs into the bottom of my iPhone 4. When I asked the sales person if I could watch the videos and pictures from the camera roll I have taken on a T.V. he said I could.

      I have tried to watch the videos and see the pictures from my iPhone's camera roll on a televison but it is not working. It is like nothing is connected to the T.V. set. I have tried with cables that attach to the bottom of the iPone. I have used an HDMI cable and a component cables on two seperate Televisions. How is it supposed to work.
    I plugged the HDMI cable into the HDMI #4 jack into the T.V. and turned on the iPHone and watched the camera roll on the iPhone bu tnothing appears on the T.V. screen. What would have to be adjusted to view the pictures from the camera roll on the T.V. screen. The same thing happend when I used "Composite to iPhone" cables to a different T.V.  I even tried with and iPhone 3GS, still no display on the T.V. screen.

    Warranty on iPhone is not international, but valid only in country of
    original sale. Since you purchased the iPhone in Australia, your warranty
    is valid only in Australia. You must either personally return the iPhone
    to Australia for evaluation and possible replacement or sent it to someone
    in Australia to take into Apple for the evaluation. Apple will not accept
    international shipments for repair nor will Apple ship out of the country
    after replacement.
    Sorry to be the bearer of this news, but it is the way iPhone warranty and
    replacement has always worked.

  • Charging iPod abroad--can I plug into the USB port of a foreign computer?

    I'm going to Guatemala and will be bringing my iPod touch. I expect that I'll be in internet cafes on a fairly regular basis. Is there any currency conversion problem if I charge my iPod off of the USB port in a foreign computer? Guatemala uses the same currency as the US, but I want to be sure it's safe...
    Thanks!

    USB power output is standardized, you should have no trouble, just be sure not to sync with the machine if it has iTunes or you will remove all your music/videos.

  • My ipod will not stay connected to my computer.  When first plugged into the usb port, I can see it as a drive.  Within seconds it disappears.  If I look in the devices area, I can see it but it has a yellow triangle with an exclamation point beside it.

    When I connect my ipod to a usb port on my computer, I can see it in my computer as a drive for a few seconds and then it disappears.  It can be seen under devices but as a yellow triangle with an exclamation point in it.  If I run trouble shoot, it states windows is disconnecting this device. 
    I can see it in itunes as a device.  However, this is a brand new computer, running windows 7.  My last one bit the dust in mid use.  I want to save the songs on my ipod and to do that I believe I need to be able to see the files on the ipod.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Great Troubleshooting on your own so far!. (If you got 2 PC and 2 iPod would be much easier, some of the people in this community has more than 2 of each.)
    Hope you did not connect it to a USB Hub, the sync cable must be plug in directly to a USB2 port at the back of the Desktop Computer.
    If you have a spare Notebook, with iTunes, connect it to the Notebook, to check if the iPod is working or hung.
    Can you iPod run and play songs, when disconnected from the PC? (Sorry, for just asking the obvious)
    Anyway, just hard reset your iPod, so that we can start from scratch
    1. if your iPod is hung, reset it by pressing Menu and Center button for at least 10 secs till the Apple logo, comes on. (this won't delete your songs in the iPod, if they are not corrupted))
    2. Connect it back to your Notebook or Desktop.
    if your iPod screen is dead, try charging the battery by connecting it to another computer. if it doesn't connect to successfully to another computer, it may need servicing.
    Good luck!

  • I need to boost my wifi signal from my Time Machine.  What is that device called.  it plugs into the wall.

    I have an apple booser that plugs into the walll to help boost my wifi signal.  I went and purchased another one and they sold me the airport express and it does not have the wall plugin.  What is it that I need to exchange it for?  You would have thought they would have sold me the right thing!

    Does the old still a good product?
    Yes
    So, this is all there is all there is available to boost my signal in hard to reach areas with Apple devices?
    You could try an AirPort Extreme instead of an AirPort Express. The issue may be size. Imagine eight of your A1392 models all stacked on top of each other.  It does have a better antenna setup, but I doubt that you would notice much improvement in your situation.
