AirPort Extreme card not compatible with Mac Pro???

Hey,
I recently purchased my Mac Pro without thinking to include any hardware for connecting to a wireless network.
I have recently moved into a new apartment which I am keen to join to a wireless network which has just been set up by my roommate for his PC and Laptop.
I was going to buy an AirPort Extreme card, but I have read that it is not compatible with the Mac Pro. Yet when I looked at the configure process for a new mac it was listed as one of the devises offered for wireless networking!!
I am very confused...
I was wondering if anyone could help me, i just need to know what hardware i will need and how it would be installed.
thanks, all help will be greatly appreciated!
Mac Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

the mac pro takes a slightly different airport express card. you have to purchase it at the retail store and have them install it. in my experience they will not allow you to purchase one and install it yourself due to the difficulty of installing it. best thing to do take your macpro into a apple retail store and see what they can do.

  • DBT-120 Bluetooth 2.0 Adapter not Compatible with Mac Pro V 10.4.10?

    Hello!
    I recently purchased a
    *D-Link DBT-120 Bluetooth 2.0 USB Adapter* (My Mac Pro is *V 10.4.10*)
    in order to resolve the Mac Pro / Bluetooth issue.
    I put in the CD for installation and all of the files (.exe, etc.) read as PC files.
    I was told by D-link that the adapter mentioned above is not compatible with this higher version of the Mac Pro.
    However, I have read that other users have had success with the DBT-120.
    Does anyone have any recommendations?
    Thank you!
    Jeff

    What exactly IS the mac pro/ bluetooth issue?
    Some Mac Pros were (are?) shipped with incorrect labelling and connection of the AirPort and Bluetooth internal antenna wires. The causes reduced Bluetooth range.

  • Airport extreme card not working with leopard / G5

    I just upgraded my PowerMac to leopard (G5 dual 1.8, 3 gigs of ram, 250 GB HD). I bought it new in December 2004 from apple. Previously I had been using a USB adapter to connect to my wireless internet at home (Linksys WRT54G). This device does not support leopard so I got an airport extreme card from gainsaver.com.
    The Airport extreme card is configured properly as far as I know but it will only connect to my network for about 5 seconds then it drops. The USB adapter worked perfectly in the same spot and my macbook right next to it works fine as well.
    1. Could it be a bad Airport extreme card?
    2. Is this a known issue? And possibly be resolved with the 10.5.2 update?
    It is a fresh Leopard install with no updates as I can not connect it to the internet to get them. Any help would be very much appreciated.

    Hi, I have the same machine (4 ram slots?) have you got the connector for the aerial that connects to the motherboard attached to your airport card. Mine works a treat.

  • Which wires to hook up Airport Extreme card in Early 2009 Mac Pro??

    I have a new two processor 2.66GHz Quad core that needs an Airport Extreme card. I ordered one from OWC, but the manual does NOT cover the 2009 models. I have three terminals on the card marked 0,1,2. The wires are labeled 1,2,3. Bluetooth was already installed so the BT wire is already in place on the module. What is the correct combination of wires to use on the 3-terminal board?

    I realize it isn't trivial. There are lots of permutations and you've got to open up the Mac and pull out the processor tray for each one. Sometimes that's what you've got to do when you're a pioneer. (Well, that and the silly Levi's commercials.)
    The other alternative is to pry the information from OWC tech support -- if they even have it.

  • Installing an AirPort Extreme Card in a new Mac Pro 3

    I am a brand new Mac convert. I just purchased a new Mac Pro 3.QX and have to install an Airport Extreme Card. I'll be damned if I can find out where it should be installed...

    Ok, so this is pretty hard to explain without pictures but lets go through it step by step.
    Before you ever handle the inside of your computer first make sure the computer is off and has had sufficient time to cool off. Also make sure that you have already discharged any static from your body. In addition make sure all cords are unplugged from the computer and you use all proper safety equipment.
    -Lay the computer on it's side and take off the side panel.
    -Connect the airport antenna wires to the antenna connectors on the card. (Make sure you connect the wires labeled "1" and "3", the other should be taped to the side.)
    -Insert the card into the connector on the logic board at a slightly upward angle and then when it's in, lower the screw end of the card down.
    -Install the two airport extreme card screws, replace the side of your computer, and you're done.

    How do i install the airport extreme internal card in 2008 mac pro 2.8 dual?

    Done, your link was ok!:) difficult to plug the tiny wires...on a Mac Pro early 2008, you must plug wire 1 and 3, the longer one at the bottom, the smaller one at the top....worked right away....p.s : take a little time to clean your Mac, you'll be amazed with the amount of dust !

  • HP C5380 DVD/CD Printing Feature Not Compatible With Mac

    I purchased this all-in-one specifically for the feature of printing direct to cd/dvds. Other functions work fine but this will not. After contacting HP Support I am informed that this feature is not compatible with Mac. Surely this is false advertising as nowhere on the packaging can I find any reference to this. Under specifications it shows that system requirements were Mac OSX 10.5.
    Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a fix? I have searched mac support but can find no reference to this. Interested to hear other viewpoints and experiences. 

    Hello,
    I would try printing directly on CD/DVD from the application HP Photosmart Studio.. Follow the steps below:
    1. Open HP Photosmart Studio
    2. Select an image from the Photosmart Studio library/browser
    3. Choose "Create" in the toolbar
    4. In the menu on the left, choose the following settings:
    - Project: CD/DVD Label
    - Label Type: CD/DVD (5 inch/120 mm)
    5. Move the image from the media bar to the label, resize it if necessary
    6. Click "Print" on the toolbar
    Regards,
    Vicarious

  • IPad not compatible with MAC OS X 10.4.11

    I just bought an iPad and just realised that it's not compatible with MAC OS X 10.4.11 when I tried to hook it into iTunes. Therefore I will need to upgrade. C
    an someone advise on what OS I should upgrade to and how? I assume Snow Leopard would be my best option, but I'm not sure if I can upgrade to this from MAC OS X 10.4.11.
    Also I've never upgraded before, so will everything on my current Note Book be preserved such as iTunes library, documents, iPhoto's library etc.
    Thanks in advance

    I was faced with the same dilemma, and wound up upgrading to Leopard on my G5. My approach, which worked well, was to get a retail box through eBay, then upgrade online to 10.5.8.
    You're always well advised to do a backup before an OS upgrade. Find many discussions about upgrading in the OS forums.

  • USB superdrive not working with Mac Pro

    Is there a trick to getting a USB Superdrive working with a Macpro?
    The drive in the Macpro no longer ejects and have tried connecting the USB drive to both the front and back ports - does it not work with Mac Pros?
    Any pointers in the right direction would be much appreciated.

    I had a problem my superdrive. It would play dvd's and cd's that were already burnt but would not burn blank DVDs or CDs- in the recent past it had no problems burning. In addition, the Finder would not display the superdrive. When I put a blank disc in it would go to Disk Utilities and would not allow burning. With help from Apple I discovered the problem-- The settings in CDS & DVDs had been changed from When you insert a blank DVD/CD "Ask what to do to  to  "GO to Disk Utilities". If this sounds like your problem try changing the settings to this:
    Try going to; System Preferences/ CDs & DVDs
    Change these two settings to this:
    When you insert a blank CD: Ask what to do
    When you insert a blank DVD: Ask what to do
    NOTE: If they are already set to this you probably have a different problem. If they are set to Go to Disk Utilitiy this is probably a solution.
    And
    Then go to Finder Preferences
    Make sure that under "Show these items on desktop:" that the checkbox for CDs, DVDs, and iPods is checked.
    Try to burn the DVD again (reload Disc- perhaps restart) and try again.
    Don't know how these setting changed but they did. It worked for me.
