Airport card installation for 2005 Power Mac G5

OK guys, I'm trying to get an airport card to work on my 2005 Power Mac G5. Here's the relevant info:
Power Mac G5 running on Mac OS X 10.4.11
Machine model: PowerMac7,3 (so this would be "early 2005" I guess?)
Airport card: M8881LL/A AirPort Extreme Card
I installed the card as described from the Apple Support site. It seemed to go in fine and I did hook up the antenna wire to the card and an actual antenna is attached to the back of the computer.
When I fired it back up, the computer still can't find the AirPort card. If I open AirPort Setup Assistant (from utilities) it says Airport hardware was not found.
Any chance there is some kind of driver or other missing software I need? Any suggestions?

  • Upgrade card recommendation for my Power Mac G5 1.8 GHz Dual

    Hello Folks,
    I have a Power Mac G5 1.8 GHz Dual that came with a nVIDIA GeForce FX 5200 64 MB graphics card.
    QUESTION:
    Has anyone here upgraded the Graphics Card ( nVIDIA GeForce FX 5200 64 MB ) from their "Power Mac G5 1.8 GHz Dual"?
    If yes, how was your experience doing this? Do you like your new graphics card?
    Which 3 cards would be good upgrades on this system?
    I am looking for a little more graphics power.
    G5 1.8 GHz Dual   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Thanks for the reply Edwin.
    The ATI X800 XT is a nice card. I little high on price, but it is awesome.
    What are the best reputable places to buy cards like this at the best prices possible?

  • Do I need Airport Extreme Enabler for my Power Mac G5 Quad

    I have a Power G5 Quad. Do I need the Airport Extreme Enabler Software to connect to my Belkin N1? Will I need it to connect to an Airport Extreme Base station with 802.11n?

    I have a Power G5 Quad. Do I need the Airport Extreme Enabler Software to connect to my Belkin N1?
    No, as your G5 is not "upgradable" to 802.11n.
    Will I need it to connect to an Airport Extreme Base station with 802.11n?
    No, as you should be able to connect your G5 to the new AirPort Extreme Base Station with 802.11g.

  • What kind of wireless card I need for my Power Mac G5 (late 2005) Dual 2 GH

    hi there,
    I have for sometime now a "Power Mac G5 (late 2005) Dual 2 GHz PowerPC G5", and recently I have been thinking to get an Airport extreme wireless card with a bluetooth on it, which could work on my machine.
    I have already try to deal with apple representatives and Apple sales people to give me a hand on the matter and so far is been a nightmare to approach this guys, tired of wasting time and effort, so that is way I am posting a topic on this section to see if you guys could give a hand on the matter.
    All what I would like to know is what kind of wireless card I need for my Power Mac G5 (late 2005) Dual 2 GHz PowerPC G5 (version 10.4.11) and where I could buy one on line to install myself.
    This is the mac unit I have.
    Dual 2 GHz PowerPC G5.
    Hardware Overview:
    Machine Name: Power Mac G5
    Machine Model: PowerMac11,2
    CPU Type: PowerPC G5 (1.1)
    Number Of CPUs: 2
    CPU Speed: 2 GHz
    L2 Cache (per CPU): 1 MB
    Memory: 4.5 GB
    Bus Speed: 1 GHz
    Boot ROM Version: 5.2.7f1
    Thanks for you time.
    regards

    You're welcome. Funny how Apple works isn't it? If it's any consolation, that Airport/Bluetooth card doesn't show up on the Apple U.S. store either. I don't think they ever intended it to be a user installable part, so perhaps that's why they don't offer it for sale. Do you have any Apple Authorized Service providers in your area? I'd think they'd be able to order the card as a replacement part.
    Can you give a little more detail or a link to the gadget you're referring to? It sounds like a USB dongle to enable Wi-Fi, but that must be a third party solution, since I don't believe Apple ever offered something like that.

  • Where can I purchase a runway card for a power mac G5 A1177 ?

    I am searching for a runway card for a power mac G5 A1177 thats cheap.

    "Where" questions are more easlily answered if you tell us your approximate geographic loation. That way you won't get links to vendors who cannot ship to your location.
    That said, here is a US vendor:

    "Chea" is relative. Google "runway card" and you'll get  a lot of hits for price comparision.

  • I have an older Power Mac G5 Quad, and my video card just went out. I am trying to find a video card that will work for my Power Mac. I have duel screens but I can't seem to find the appropriate video card

    I have an older Power Mac G5 Quad, and my video card just went out. I am trying to find a video card that will work for my Power Mac. I have duel screens but I can't seem to find the appropriate video card. The serial number on my computer is: RM620603R6W. Apple won't help me because the computer is older than suggested. Please give me the exact video card that will work best for my computer.

    Hi Mike, make sure the card has Mac ROM, or is a PC card with Mac ROMs flashed to it...
    G5 PCIe options are listed here:

  • Is there airport card available for G4 10.3.9

    Is there a airport card I can install in my older G4 so I can use the wireless internet and printers?
    Thanks for your help.
    Lisa

    It depends on which Power Mac G4 you have?
    Some Power Mac G4s do not have any wireless card slot.
    Some Power Mac G4s have an internal slot for the original AirPort card.
    Some Power Mac G4s have an internal slot for the AirPort Extreme card.
    Identify your Power Mac G4 using (KB 58418) "Power Mac G4: How to Differentiate Between Models" and (KB 42739) "Power Mac G4: How to Differentiate Between Models, Part 2".

  • Hi, I need a video editing software for my Power Mac G5 system. Hunted all over for one! Can anyone help me and point me in the right direction. Everything I come across is for intel based systems. Many thanks in advance.

    I have Final Cut Studio V1 - the PPC/Intel V5/5.1 cross-grade version, which would suit your requirements perfectly. (I have it for sale at present down here).
    If you keep looking, you're sure to find a similar second hand copy in your area, without the need to upgrade your graphics card.
    I'd go for Final Cut Pro as above over any version of Express. FCP has the full version of LiveType - not the truncated version that was released later on.

  • Are logic boards interchangeable - such as the 3 early 2005 power mac  comp

    Hello all,
    I have another question similar to the one about whether or not different cases can be interchanged.
    My "new" question is this:
    Are the 3 "early 2005" Power Mac logic boards interchangeable? In other words, could one use a dual 2.0 or 2.3 or 2.7 ghz logic board in any of these models
    or is each logic board specific to the speed of the processor? Or can the quad 4 2.5 ghz logic board be substituted into a dual 2.7 ghz case?
    When you answer, could you please try to answer in simple terms.
    Thanks,
    Stacey Bindman

    Hi, sorry for the bump. I am looking to get a new logic board for my G5. I've been looking around eBay and some info you said contradicts the descriptions of some items, namely:
    http://cgi.ebay.com/APPLE-POWERMAC-G5-820-1760-A-LOGIC-BOARDW0QQitemZ230384643421QQcmdZViewItemQQptZMotherboards?hash=item35a3fead5d&trksid=p3286.c0.m14
    and
    http://cgi.ebay.com/Apple-G5-DUAL-2-x-Ghz-Logic-Board-661-3585-820-1592-AW0QQitemZ380161839415QQcmdZViewItemQQptZApple_Desktops?hash=item5883695137&trksid=p3286.c0.m14
    The 820-1760-A only has 4 ram slots, and by what Steve said, can only be compatible with the 2.0 ghz processors. The second listing has a model number of 820-1592-A, which the seller claims is compatible with 2.0+ ghz processors.
    So which one of you is right? I'm looking to replace my June 2004 board which has the same model number as the second listing, but am not sure if that listing is an Early 2005 model or not...

  • Trying to buy OS X Tiger for my Power Mac

    I no longer have my installation CD for my Power Mac G3. Can I just buy an OS X 10 CD from ebay and use it to wipe out and re-install the OS on my computer? It says it is once licence, how do I know it hasn't already been used?

    If this is the Blue and White G3 tower, before installing OS X 10.4 Tiger, you need to run a Firmware update for this Mac. Not sure how to locate this for you on Apple's website because any older links to the firmware updated software no longer work.
    You need this firmware update.
    PM G3 (Blue and White) Firmware Update 1.1
    IF your PowerMac G3 is a beige G3, the highest OS X version you can install without special helper software is OS X 10.2 Jaguar.
    OS X 10.3 Panther can be installed with the help of this app. OS X 10.3.9 Panther is really, real world end of line for OS X versions to be installed. OS X 10.4 Tiger will not work with beige color PowerMac G3 models.

  • Power adapter/cord for the Power Mac G5 A1177 EMC 2023?

    How do I determine the correct power adapter/cord for the Power Mac G5 A1177 EMC 2023? I suppose I would need a part number or identifier to look for a replacement.
    So far, I haven't been able to determine the answer from Apple's support search or other search methods. I do not have an original user's manual but the one I found on the net doesn't specify the correct power cord.

    Hi-
    That is a Late 2005 Dual Core machine?

  • How can i use my smart TV as a second monitor for my Power mac (2010) via HDMI cable? i've made the connection but no options show in system prefs display.

    How can i use my smart TV as a second monitor for my Power mac (2010) via HDMI cable? i've made the connection but no options show in system prefs display.
    the computer:Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.9.5), 2 x 2.66 Ghz 6-Core intel Xeon
    the TV: LG Smart tv

    The Mac uses a highly-parameterized universal Driver for every display. The parameters are set at certain times when a query is sent to your display. The display MUST answer with its name and capabilities, or the screen stays dark. A TV set that is off or "not paying attention" because it is set to a different port when the query occurs will rarely answer, and so will often remain dark.
    You can use tools in the System Report to see whether your display has been detected at all. If it has, the report will look something like this, but its name will appear:
    The times when the query is sent are:
    • at Startup
    • at wake from sleep
    • when the Mac-end of the cable is inserted
    • when using the Option ( Detect Displays ) button in displays preferences

  • Can I use a MacBook pro as an external display for a Power Mac G5

    My problem is that the Studio display from 2004 is beginning to fail.  What can I use as a replacement display?  It seems that the Thunderbolt displays are out of the question, and some of the other new displays may require an Intel-based OSX.
    So, assuming I buy a MacBook Pro in the future, I'd like to continue to keep the Power Mac G5 as a back-up.  Can I use the screen on the MacBook Pro as a display for the Power Mac, and if so, how?

    Depending on what you use your computers for, the concept of using the screen of a MacBook as a display for a desktop Power Mac is about as poor an idea as I've heard in a long, long time. 
    Thanks for the chuckle.  
    PS.— There are plenty of inexpensive screens you can use instead.
