Airport Extreme Card does not fit into my laptop.

I recently purchased an Apple iBook G4 and a separate Airport Extreme Card. Maybe I'm just Mac-illiterate, but I can't figure out how to install the card. I've studied the directions in the manual and online but the diagrams don't seem to correspond with my laptop. For example, my laptop does not have the grey wire or metal bracket that are shown in Figure 6 at http://www.info.apple.com/usen/cip/pdf/ibkg4/ibg4-apc-cip1.pdf. In fact, that whole area in my laptop looks very different from the way it looks in the image. The card doesn't fit/snap in anywhere under the keyboard.
Am I totally missing something? Is the card supposed to be installed elsewhere? Did I perhaps purchase the wrong card?
Any support you can offer will be greatly appreciated. Hopefully my question isn't too stupid!

Current generation iBook G4's have a built in Airport Extreme interface - they don't make use of a user-installable Airport Extreme card.
Does your Mac have an Airport menu item (the fan-shaped icon near the right side of the MacOS menu bar)? If so, it already has an installed Airport interface.

Airport Extreme card does not see any networks...help!

I have a home network that is working fine - 2 linksys routers with WDS set up... it all works great - an Ibook g4 running 10.3 and has an Airport Extreme card connects flawlessly everyday. As does an old G4 powerbook with an old airport card.
however, I have this dual g4 with 10.4.3 running, and a recently-installed airport extreme card.
When I turn airport "on" it never sees our network. And it doesn't see my neighbors' networks, either, which are also always visible.
I can, howevr, connect via ethernet to the router that is somewhat nearby. that networking is fine...I can get on wired, but not wirelessly.
I've installed the 2005-1 update, and have run Software Update as well to see if there are any other patches/updates necesary. so as far as I can tell, I am up to date.
system profiler says:
Wireless Card Type: AirPort Extreme
Wireless Card Locale: USA
Wireless Card Firmware Version: 404.2 (3.90.34.0.p16)
Current Wireless Network: wireless network not available
and in the extensions section for the airport, it says:

I am at a loss. Is there anything else I can do before writing off the card as a bad card - or perhaps the logic board is faulty?
I hope there is a simple solution to this. I appreciate your expert help.

Go back and recheck the Airport Extreme card installation. Make sure you plugged the connector for the internal Airport antenna into its socket on the Airport Extreme card itself - and make sure the plug is fully seated into its socket (none of the metal sleave should be showing).

3.3V CardBus Card does not fit into T500?

I got a new T500 2055WVJ last week with Win 7 64bit.
I have only one problem. The cardbus slot (it must be one, because the device manager says RICOH compatible CardBus controller) does not like my Adaptec SCSI CardBus card (Type II). Other PCMCIA cards (5V, non Cardbus) in the same slot fit in perfectly, but the 3.3V SCSI card goes in but stops about 5 mm before they is completely in. The same card works in all other laptops including my old T60, where is slides in and is recognized perfectly. Also CompactFlash cards inside an PCMCIA adaptor fit in perfectly on my new T500 and appear as ATA devices.
Looking into the slot with a lamp shows that on the left side, the notch for differentiating between 5V and 3.3V cards only allows 5V cards. But the CardBus spec says, that Cardbus cards must be 3.3V. You can see a picture of the difference between cardbus and pcmcia pccards here: http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=DateiCCard_CardBus.jpg&filetimestamp=20061112220451 (you see the different notch on the right side).
So whats wrong here? Does the new Thinkpad really does not like 3.3V CardBus cards, although the controller is CardBus?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Congrats on getting it to work!
Thinking back, I remember how reluctant I was to force a card into my new T500. I do think there is something slightly off about the slot, because the same card had been working fine in my old T42. (Or maybe the T42 was similarly stiff when it was new way back when?)
Anyway, congrats again!

Window does not fit into page

Hi all,
I'm creating a smartform which prints one internal table consists of 36 fields. In table line type i have mentioned the 36 fields. First four are of 4CM and other 32 fields of 2CM width. So in total i have mentioned as 80 CM.
But its showing an error like 'Main window does not fit into Page'.
What could be the mistake?
Can anyone help me in this..
Regards,
Shanthi

Hi,
U have to adjust the 36 fields into 21 cm by Allocating Space accordingly.
if Your Space is small then data will be displayed in the next line.
And display The data in Smallest font possible.

I recently bought a Macbook Air and a Thunderbolt Display and the laptop's power is supposed to come from the display, but the power cable on the display does not fit into the Macbook Air.

I recently bought a 11" Macbook Air and a 27" Thunderbolt Display.The laptop's power is supposed to come from the display when connected, but the power cable on the display does not fit into the Macbook Air.

If your MBair is a 2012 model, it has a Magsafe 2 power connection. The monitor probably has the old magsafe connection. If this is the case, you need this adapter.

Error: Table TEMPLATE_HEADER does not fit into window.

Hello Experts ,
I met a very strange problem.
I am printing a process order using smartform.
for other process nrs , print perfect.
But only for a certain precess nr, I got a popup error 'Table TEMPLATE_HEADER does not fit into window.'
At beginning , I suppose my table line extend the mainwindow width. But infact , no!
I try to comment every node one by one, I found the reason: I put a table line into a loop node, if I add a text node which has something inside, it will triger this error. (only for this process order, others works fine)
so , does someone met this error before ?
Please help me!!
Regards

Hi Kevin,
Which printer and device type do you use? For line printers and device type(driver STN2) like e.g. EPESCP9, the SAP system
must use spaces and empty lines to place the text. This is a limitation of the ESC/P printer languagesa per SAP note #19807.
For this, the Smartforms rounds all coordinates(of the table cells and the window). Only after this step it checks, whether the table fits into the window. So if the table size is quite close to the window size size, it may happen on line printers that the table doesn't fit anymore.
If this is the reason for your problem, the error message should vanish if you increase the size of the window containing table TEMPLATE_HEADER a little in your smartform.

Aidan

Getting "Table %TEMPLATE does not fit into window" error

Hello,
I am trying to print a form to an old EPSON DFX-9000 dot matrix printer and am getting the error message Table %TEMPLATE does not fit into window".
This only happens when I go to that printer. I can print fine to a laser printer.
I have tried creating a new device type and copying over the format from the laser printer, playing with the format, changing formats, ect.
I have adjusted the size of the window that my template cannot allegedly fit into but still no luck. I have checked the height and width of the template and the window many, many times and still get the same error.
Has anyone seen this before? Please help. Thanks.

Hi James,
You need to see the width and height of the Page Format which you have set in Form Attributes of your smartforms.
What ever you create should be within this width and height .
So accordingly adjust the width and height of your windows and components within them
Regards,
Dep

Good afternoon. Today I stopped to make a purchase in the App Store. wrote that the card does not fit, I live in Ukraine. Tell me what I should do.

Good afternoon. Today I stopped to make a purchase in the App Store. wrote that the card does not fit, I live in Ukraine. Tell me what I should do.

I've never seen such an error before. I think you're using the serial number instead of the redemption code?
There should be a scratch off code on the back.

My airport card does NOT fit!

I've been searching and searching for my answer in the forums, so my apologies if the answer is already out there...
Problem:
I have a PowerMac G4 (firewire 800 - Mirrored Driver Doors).
I just bought an Original Airport Card that had said IN THE DESCRIPTION that the card would fit my specific computer.
However, when I received it, I found it does not fit!
I've looked at the computer manual and have seen exactly where the airport card should slide into.
BUT seems that the bracket that the card should slip into, is too small. I've now done search after search for which card that I REALLY do need, but all results say that this "original airport card" IS the one that I need. One result did say that I needed an adapter. But I dont see how an adapter would help me if the bracket is too small even for the card.
I am baffled and extremely frustrated.
Can someone be CLEAR about exactly what I need?

If it has a FW800 port on the back, it will use Airport Extreme
If it does not have a FW800 port (i.e., FW400 only), it will use regular Airport. When the original Airport cards were made and speced, the FW800 MDD G4 models had not yet been produced.

Airport Extreme card out of eMac into old G5

After getting a new iMac, i have reassigned all the Macs in our home. My old G5 tower had no wireless card. So, i took the Airport Extreme card out of an old eMac and put it into the G5. It fit, and I thought I had the problem solved. But, I am not getting the network to show up. Is the card compatible?

Current generation iBook G4's have a built in Airport Extreme interface - they don't make use of a user-installable Airport Extreme card.
Does your Mac have an Airport menu item (the fan-shaped icon near the right side of the MacOS menu bar)? If so, it already has an installed Airport interface.

New airport extreme card is not detected

I brought a new airport extreme card and installed as instructed but my computer is not detecting it at all. Im new to using a Mac, so please can someone let me know what I'm doing wrong? If you need more info please ask.
emac Mac OS X (10.3.9)

this is definately the correct card...
How do you know? To identify which eMac you have, you can use KB 86325, eMac: How to locate the serial number and identify your model. Then you will be able to determine if you need the AirPort card or AirPort Extreme card.
What kind of keyboard are you using?
The command key probably has an Apple symbol.
Here are some other symbols for those keys:

Airport extreme card is not recognize. what can I do?

I install the airport extreme card about 3-4 months ago, and didn't have any trouble at all. I used to move the computer to many places and never had a problem.
This Saturday, I took my PB to a friend’s house and when I turned it on, the icon didn't show at the top bar. I looked in the preferences and the airport connection option can't be selected (is in grey) and it says that any hardware was found. I check the elements of the computer (in "About this mac") and no hardware was found.
I unplugged the energy, took out the battery and removed the card, and plug it again. I have to say that removing it and put it back again was easier this time than the first time, it moved smoothly). Nothing happened. Still won’t recognize it.
What can I do? I bought the card in a tech ware house in Barcelona, FNAC who is a legal representative of the mac products.

Hi!
Sounds as though maybe your AE wireless card may have failed;
and if you've tried more than a few times to re-seat the card into
the slot and had no results, you may see about trying the card
in another compatible computer to see if just the card is bad.
You may be able to swap out the part to restore wireless access;
but I am not sure of any situation that may limit your recourse
through the reseller of the card you now have. They may not take
it back, in other words. But to find out if the issue is your AE Card
or some other potential issue is an important pursuit. So, if you
can, perhaps a reseller of new parts can let you see if a new card
will resolve this issue by trying a new card and see if it shows in
the System Profiler; and if access to the internet is available nearby,
to also see if it connects readily.
Good luck and happy computing!
