Airport card and memory

hi im looking into puttin an airport card in to my mac g4 the lamp desktop and was wondering if i need extra memory and what osx it would run on
hope someone ca

Hello Aldric, welcome to discussions.
It's quite suspicious that your Airport card and one of your memory modules have suddenly "disappeared" at the same time.
This could certainly indicate a hardware issue, but I won't speculate as to what caused it. Sure, a power surge could do this... have you had one recently?
I would try taking the memory module, and the airport card out of your system, and then re-install them.
If your situation does not improve, then you should probably take your machine to an authorized Apple service center.

Broken airport card and hard drive on MacBook Pro and can't go to recovery with LAN.

Hi.
My MacBook Pro 13" (early-2011)'s hard drive has broken, and I bought a Kingston 120GB SSDNow instead.
Earlier, the airport card and cable has been broken too.
Are there other ways I can use LAN to recover my mac? It wants me to use wifi, but the airport card is broken...
If so, why does it only want to use Wifi instead of LAN?
LAN is like the extra parachute just in case, or the extra octopus regulator in scuba diving.

Is your model on the list? Did you ever upgrade its firmware? If not, then all you can do is start by booting from your Snow Leopard DVD and installing Snow Leopard on your SSD. Be sure to first partition and format the SSD for use with OS X. Once you install Snow Leopard you can download and install the firmware update for future needs.

Airport Card and Pismo

Hello!
Picked up a used Pismo in great shape. I have a spare working Airport card and installed it. It did not work. So I erased the drive that had 10.2.3 and installed 10.4 with all updates to 10.4.8. Still does not work. I took the PowerBook apart and examined the card dock pins, cable and mobo connection. Physically they all look fine.
I am pretty avid and mac hardware repair. I have a couple Pismo motherboards and stuff in storage. Before I go taking all this apart again and swapping stuff out, could I be doing something wrong here?
I see only two sources of potential fault. The motherboard or the card. Any experts hear of Pismos having Airport issues? (all other buses are fine, firewire, UBS, etc) Any report of Airport cards dying? (I dont have another spare to test)
Thanks!

marco,
Did you select AirPort in System Prefs > Network > Network Port Configurations?
If you have the Hardware Test CD that came with Pismos or have another Mac that can burn the AHT, download it here and see what it says about AirPort.

Macbook airport card and antenna

i have 2 macbook c2d,one has the 2 antenna airport card and the wifi is very slow,the other with 3 i presume is n version,but i had to swap the screens over,now the mabook i use has a 3 antenna card but only 2 antenna from the monitor,would i be better of using the 3 antenna version but ust plugging 2 in and which 2?

I can't help with tracking down the "T" shaped antenna that plugs into the back of the G5, or an equivalent, but I can tell you that the wire that connects to the Airport card in my G5 disappears around the back of the motherboard.
It may have a metal ring on the other end but I can't see it.
I'm assuming you didn't buy the G5 new, because you are missing of the "T" shaped antenna which is supplied with the computer, so I'm guessing whoever had the G5 before you pulled the airport card out before disconnecting the antenna cable and ripped it from its mounting.
My guess is the metal ring is used to attach it somehow.

Apple original Airport card and AEX

I have an iMac slot loading SE 600mhz and want to connect with my wireless network via Airport Express. Are there any compatibility issues witth the Apple originla Airport Card? I am about to bid on ebay but thought I should check. Any help out there?

A Mac with an original Airport card will work perfectly with the Airport Express - the only requirement is that the Mac is running a minimum of MacOS 10.3 in order to be able to configure the device.

Broken airport card and i can't dish out £220 to fix it

Hi, my airport card has just broken, the range has been halved so at the moment i have to hug my wireless box to get signal. As the title says i cant afford the repair, its an old computer out of warrenty and im a student without surplus cash. I was wondering does anyone know any cheaper ways off fixing this? wireless USB sticks that are compatible with older macbooks?
Many thanks

The Asus WL-167g wireless USB adapter works with my old iBook as well as my new MacBook. I tried it just to be sure, although of course I use the Airport card on the MacBook. If you use it, remember to turn off Airport.
The Asus WL-167g costs $17 at New Egg. You can download the Mac driver here:

Original Airport cards and e-Bay

I have a 17inch flat panel iMac, 800 mhz speed and am thinking of going wireless. I know I need an original airport card for my computer, NOT the airport extreme. I have been searching on e-Bay and found various sellers with a huge difference in prices. My question is: are there different models of the original airport card? One vendor lists an airport card model # M7600LL/A for a high price, but in the information it lists my computer as one of the models this card will work with. Another vendor has an airport card model # M7600LL/E for a much lower price but the information on the card's compatability is rather sparse. Are they the same card just with a different price? What is your advice about buying an airport card from e-Bay in general? I will also need a wireless router and have my eye on a Linksys model that a few of my friends have in their wireless networks and they recommend it highly. Any thoughts on that area?
17 inch Flat panel iMac, 800mhz Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Basically the difference between the two is one was for American market I believe and the other the European market.
Both should work fine.
Original Airport Card Alternatives
http://www.ifelix.co.uk/tech/1030.html
A Mac with an original Airport card can connect to any wifi certified 802.11b wireless network (or 802.11g in backward compatible mode).
Out of all the different wireless routers I have used, I have found my Airports to be reliable and easy to setup.

Bridge between airport card and ethernet port

My son wants to access the internet through the ethernet port to connect his xbox 360. My airport extreme base station is upstairs and my powermac g5 is in the basement and connects to the internet through the airport network (airport extreme card to base station). One of his friends says he can configure a bridge between his wireless card and his ethernet port on his windows computer and was trying to do it on my mac. Can a bridge be configured between the airport extreme card and the ethernet port on the g5 which will allow an ethernet device to connect to the internet? Any advice will greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Larry

I have used an external ethernet bridge in the past. What I am wondering is: How can the airport card be configured to create a bridge to the ethernet port on the computer, so the game console could be connected to the back of the g5 with an ethernet cable and then connected to the tv with a/v cables. Do I have to use some external device to provide an internet connection to the game console or is there some way to share the connection from the airport card to the ethernet port?

Can I use an Airport Card and print to printer attached by ethernet?

I have an airport card on my G5, and want to print to an HP 4600 dn via ethernet plugged in directly. When I asked for DHCP connection, I get an IP address not consistent with 192.168.X.X protcol.
Can my G5 distribute an IP address to the printer? Can I share the printer this way too?

A 168. IP address is a default used when no IP is actually assigned. I use a hardware router to which my printer is connected. The printer has been configured with a fixed IP address, the network's Gateway IP address and network mask. The IP address for the printer is within the range of IP addresses assigned by the router's DHCP server and set in the mid-part of that range which is not used by any other devices. Network preferences is configured to use DHCP. Has worked well for me that way. I have two networked printers connected to the router via separate switched hubs.

Airport card and Roadrunner Wireless Router

I'm trying to network my girlfriend's iMac 350 with a shiny used airport card from eBay to her wireless roadrunner router, but whenever it tries to connect it says that there is a list which the iMac must be on in order to have access to the internet. I'll give the entire error message next time I get in touch with her and her computer.
I tried to get into her router configuration (or whatever it is where you put the router address as a URL) to find this elusive list, but she does not know her username or password for to get into the configuration.
I've tried hooking the mac directly to the router and modem and a couple of combinations therein, called RR tech support, who apparently don't know jack about macs, and managed to fry her router, which was replaced free of charge. I foundthis discussion which I will try next, though it is geared toward the airport base station, so it seems. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=607409&#607409
If anyone has had this problem and found a solution, I could really use some guidance

if the router is asking for a WEP key or for the iMac's M.A.C. address (that of the Airport card) for it to be allowed to communicate with the wireless then you need the password and admin information to the router.
Nothing can be done on the iMac's side to fix this.
The issue is with the router and how its set up its security functions to filter out computers not meant to be connected to it. You must add your iMac to the approved list or turn off the router's security functions.

Airport card and airport extreme compatibility

I am currently using APE with Powerbook G4...love it. I also have an older iMac SE Graphite 600mhz and want to add it to my wireless network. Is the Apple airport card w/adapter that is no longer sold by apple compatible with
my newer APE base station?? Any thoughts on whether ebay is a good source for purchase. I have used ebay several times and have not been dissapointed so far.

Yes, the a Mac equipped with an original Airport card is fully compatible with an Airport Extreme Base Station.
For what its worth, I've never been disappointed either with the dozens of items I've purchased via EBay.

Original Airport Card and Leopard

I have a Power Mac G4 (Dual 1.25 GHz)
I have the original airport card in picking up a wireless signal from my basement - and I am two floors up. When I had Tiger - I had no problems. With Leopard, I am not getting a full signal - according to the status bar - and sometimes I can't open certain webpages - saying I can't connect to the server. Any chance Apple can fix this?

I called my service provider (Verizon FIOS internet) - they said it was a Mac issue and to call Mac. I know that is useless since the issue of the original airport cards struggling with Leopard is out there. My problem isn't connecting and getting on the internet. When I first boot up - it takes a few minutes to get a website to come out - and every so often I won't be able to get on a website. It says I am not connected to the internet and cannot get on the server for that website (google or apple for example) - yet I can get to another site.

Airport card and adaptor

Hello Hello.
I just received my Beautiful G3 Ibook in the mail this evening and I was surprised to see that it did not come with an Airport card
How do I tell which airport card is appropriate?
How do I tell if I need to buy the adapter separate?
I tried to configure my Ethernet and it did not work any suggestions?
I am very new to this, Have not used a Mac since Jr. High
thanks!

Hi, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
It's not as easy as calling the Apple Store, unfortunately. The iBook G3 takes an original AirPort card. Apple stopped selling them a couple of years ago.

EMac 2005? - Airport Card and Bluetooth

Hi
I recently bought an eMac second-hand off of a high-school, and wanted to upgrade it a bit. I've already bumped the ram up to 2GB, and I pulled the whole thing apart and swapped the CD drive for a DVD writer (I had to go through about a couple I had lying around before I got one that worked perfectly), and installed a new HDD.
Now I come to the Wireless. As far as I know, I need an airport extreme card, and just slide it in and attach the antenna cord. The trouble is, there are different types for different eMacs, and I am having trouble identifying my eMac. I found this article (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2395), but the last 3 digits of my serial number didn't match ANY of the ones listed there - the last 3 digits are T8J. Inside the CD-Drive flap, it also says 'EMC 2057', 'EMAC 17CRT/1.25GHz/256/40/CD' and '200-240VAC,1.75A,50-60HZ'. Checking the Specification pages (http://support.apple.com/kb/SP44), I'm pretty sure that the eMac is a 2005 EDU CD model, but am still unsure. What wireless card do I need? can I get a specific part number, not just a 'Airport Extreme Card' or similar moniker?
Also, I've seen in a few places that the eMac could be configured with a bluetooth module, but the Apple specs page said it had to be factory-built in. Is this true, or can I install one regardless? (maybe find it on eBay?)
Thanks!

Hey nuke,
bought an eMac second-hand off of a high-school..I pulled the whole thing apart and swapped the CD drive for a DVD writer.. installed a new HDD.
Since you bought it from a high school it would be an educational model and probably didn't have blue tooth installed.
Here's the part numbers for originals (from service source):
"Bluetooth Board
922-6201
Bluetooth Antenna (Not Shown)
922-6402"
I also agree with the other two responders that the installation of the Airport Extreme takes some wiggling.
