Blue Screen Stuck... Installed airport card into Power Mac G4,

everything was working fine. I got online, was downloading software updates while surfing the net, then I get a small black screen that tells me I need to restart my computer in several languages.
Now the computer only gets to the blue screen, the grey spinning dial/thinking wheel goes for a bit then its just BLUE... What has happened?
Does this have anything to do with electrical charges?
Didi I cause this by inserting the Airport Card? I didn't touch any other part of the machine.
I did not unplug the monitor only the ac cord.
Please give me some good news...

Hi-
You have had a kernel panic. These are caused by software, or, hardware problems.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106227
Your first suspect would be the Airport card. To be sure, you need to examine the library/logs in Console. If you can get a copy of the panic log that coincides with the kernel panic, it will offer some clues as to the problem.
You could just remove the Airport card, and see if the system returns to normal. But, there may be other causes.
Try a safe boot. Restart, and immediately after the tone, hold down the shift key:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107393
If you are able to boot, check the logs in Console.
If not, try a single user boot, and run fsck. Restart, and immediately hold down "Cmd + s" keys.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107393
Whe the command line appears, type /sbin/fsck -fy and press return.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Repeat until the "volume is OK" report is returned.
For now, see what the results of the above are, and please post back.
For further troubleshooting of kernel panics, see the following:

If you haven't already, disconnect all third party devices, both internal and external.

Installed airport card into my imac G4 flat panel and now it work

I purchased an airport card from Mac-pro as Apple does not sell them anymore. I installed it into my IMAC G4 flat panel as per the instructions. Now, when I turn on the computer the power light comes on, and the screen is black and it really isn't making any noise, as though it is not starting up. It was working just fine before I installed this card!!!! can anyone help??!?!?!?!?

The following Apple article provides the details of
installing an AirPort card in the Flat Panel iMac
G4s. You may want to double-check it to see if you
might have missed something in the the installation
process.
I installed the card properly, as per the instructions you forwarded to me. I did have some trouble getting the card to completly fit into place, one side seemed to go in easier than the other, but it did go in. Is there anyway to get this machine up and running again?

My mac will restart & show Blue Screen when plugged ipod classic into my mac

When i plugged ipod into my mac and i put to the Disk Mode my ipod , the computer will restart & don't let me to restore my ipod !!!! Please help and give me a solution !!!
My ipod & mac info :
iPod Classic 160gb (2009)
Mac Book Pro (2011)
iTunes 11.1.3

If your computer is a 2011, you can stop the blue screen by turning off graphic card switching. Under apple, system preferences, energy, uncheck box. Temporary fix. Your logic board may need to be replaced if you are under warranty or have apple care otherwise $1000.00. May be software or firmware problem but apple has provided no info. Replacing logic board has corrected problem for some users and not others. Everything I've mentioned only applies to 2011 MBPs.

Installing airport extreme into my Mac Pro

Hey everyone! I just bought a Refurbished AirPort Extreme Card
Part Number: F8881LL/A from the apple store. Ive been searching around and there are no support documents on how to install in in my machine. Does anyone have any instruction on how to do this? Also, now that I think about it, im not even sure this card will work with my computer? Will it? Thanks in advance!!

Okay but what if....
I bought a new Mac Pro Quad on Friday night at an actual Apple store. They only carried stock base models, so I loaded up on extras like a 750 GB drive, 6GB more memory, and also AP Extreme & BT. They sold it to me, didn't bat an eye about it being a dealer only installed item. But much like some of the other users I've seen posted, cannot seem to find instructions on HOW to install it.
But I'd have to presume that a store full of Apple experts, all fawning over my new Quad and 30" monitor...that at least one of them would have stopped me from buying it.

I5 17''MBP gets blue screen during install windows 7 32 bit

Hello all:
I heard that quite many people get classic windows' "blue screen" during using windows , whatever Windows XP, Vista or 7. But now i face the "blue screen" during install Windows 7, which means I even can not complete installation.
I bought my Macbook Pro i5 17'' one month ago, and I'm trying to install Windows 7 but I face the problem during the installation. After finishing first 4 steps the computer would restart and start to "finish installation", but at this time it gets "blue screen" and shows "error: 0x0000009c" and stuck there. I have to shut down the turn off button and interrupt the installation.
I don't know if there's any one else face this unlucky situation. I searched on the net and it says the problem could be from memory, graphic card (too new), or even overlocking the cpu,whatever it must be the problem of hardware. I thought it might be the problem of compatible.
If anyone knows how to deal with this problem??!! I do need to use some software under Windows system!

It is good to see that it is indeed a USB2.
The support software on the USB is used in the Pre-boot environment setup and provides drivers for Apple specific hardware, GPU, BT, Mouse, etc. You can verify that by looking at the USB contents. The DVD contains generic drivers when hardware is not recognized as defaults to use. Apple does enough 'secret sauce' to make them different. The following does not explicitly state the USB2 need when using the DVD Installer and mentions W8 (not W7).
From Boot Camp: Creating an ISO image from a Windows installation DVD - Apple Support
Insert a blank USB 2 flash drive that is a least 16GB in size into a USB port on the computer. Boot Camp Assistant uses this drive to store the Windows 8 install media and support drivers during installation of Windows.
Note: This flash drive needs to be formatted for the FAT32 file system and must use the Master Boot Record partitioning scheme. Use Disk Utility to check the format of the flash drive before proceeding, and partition or erase the flash drive if necessary.
I suspect the GPU is not getting the correct driver and the Installer fails. The Generic VGA should work. From the OS X side, can you see files in your BC volume? If yes, can you look for logs in the BC volume at the following locations.
./Windows/Inf/setupapi.dev.log
./Windows/Inf/setupapi.offline.log
./Windows/Inf/setupapi.setup.log

Audigy 4 gives blue screen during install of drivers on Windows XP SP3

FAudigy 4 gives blue screen during install of drivers on Windows XP SP3! Specs
Asus a8n-sli
GB RAM
6600 GT
Audigy 4
LC Power 550 W PSU
I put in the installation CD that comes with the card. I want to install everything (full install), and mid-install I get a blue screen.
I then uninstalled everything and tried only to install the updated drivers from the website in safe-mode and still a blue screen. Should I get the dump file and send it to Creative?
How do get this card to work like it should? I also have a remote control that came together with the card.
Im currently using the onboard AC97 Realtek ALC850 soundcard.
Whats the whole procedure to make this work? Detailed please. How do I eliminate all traces of the audigy on my PC?

Re: Audigy 4 gives blue screen during install of drivers on Windows XP SP38 Perhaps you'd want to read this old thread of mine about my misadventures with the same exact card you are trying to use. IMHO that card was not worth the time and money I spent on it (even even less the time and money it caused me to spend afterwards to repair the damage it caused.

Older G4 with newly installed airport card

I recently installed an airport card into my G4. Everything works fine while I am using the ethernet.(cable down the hallway to my room) But when I try and use the airport card wirelessly to my router it does not work. It says it can not be found. My macbook pro works fine using the wireless connection as does my printer. Even when my G4 is sitting beside the router its a no go.

An airport extreme card, inside of a G5 PowerMac Tower, requires an
antenna; this usually sticks out the back and looks a bit like a "T" handle.
I'm not sure of the part number or if a reseller has them in stock.
I've seen elsewhere in these Discussion forums someone had
posted an image and more information about the OEM antenna.

G4 867 installed airport card

I installed airport card and cant connect to my wifi and does not show me available networks

Hi Mike, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Is your Network 802.11b capable?
Is the Antenna connected?
Does your Network use WPA2? If so, that Aiport card can only do WPA or WEP.

Hello,
You need to put the Tiger Install Disc in the 2011 iMac, boot the 2011 uMac into Target mode...
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1661
Boot the G4 holding the Option or alt key, hopefully the Install Disc in the 2011 iMac will show as a boot choice.
We just want to use the 2011 iMac as a big expensive FW Optical drive, it cannot be installed osing the 2011 iMac itself.

Can I use the internal airport card of my Mac as a BRIDGE?

* My Mac is part of my home network.
* My wired Router provides NAT addressing for all wired computers and printers.
Question:
Can I use the internal airport card of my Mac as a BRIDGE?
I am able to create a second LAN where the internal airport card, creates it's own network, but then the wireless computers are not on the same network as the wired.
If using an Airport Express, there is an option you can uncheck "assign IP address" that turns it into a bridge.... Is there anything similar with os X 10.4.3

Installing eSATA cards in 2010 Mac Pro

I see from the Apple website that it lists the 2010 Mac Pro as having:
One PCI Express 2.0 x16 slot
Two PCI Express 2.0 x4 slots
Would these 3 slots be the free, open slots that I appear to see sitting just above my video card - or is the video card plugged into one of these?
My real question here is that I ordered 2 eSATA cards from OWC and am curious if it matters which of the free PCI Express slots I install the cards into.

Yes, those are open and if you use a double wide 2nd graphic card, that will block one of the 4x slots.
Some 8x cards (SAS/SATA/FC RAID cards do best in 16x slots.
Which card and how you intend to use are of more importance probably. Not all cards work for a given use, and whether you want to avoid Port Multiplier cases.
There is a lot of information covered on MPG:

Hi Spookola,
I don't know how that could have happened. Go through the folders for the rolls and separate the 2005 rolls from the 2006 rolls, then import the 2006 rolls.
