Bought a mac pro without airport card.

Can find no information as to what I need or how to install it. I have an airport extreme card but it is apparently not compatible with the mac pro.

Hi, I have the same problem like sarah1941. My 2nd problem is that I moved from New York to Calgary AB (Canada) 2 weeks ago and I've been trying to find anywhere in Canada the new airport card along with the new bluetooth card for my Mac Pro. The result was... not even the Apple stores (in Calgary) can help me with where I can get the new airport card. Apple.com doesn't sell it and it's getting frustrating looking for a $35 bucks value card world wide. If you have any infos about where I can get this card, please send me a link. I'd appreciate it a lot. Thanks and A Happy New 2008!

Mac Pro and Airport Cards

I've seen it written here about the new airport cards in the new Mac Pros. I was wondering if anyone might have called Apple about them. Are they user installable?

I called Apple tech support earlier today and asked them about it. They told me that I would have to take it to an Apple Authorized Service Center or Apple Store to have the new airport card installed. I figure, if I really needed it, I could do that so I cancelled my order and re-ordered without the airport card.
Hope This Helps.

Airport Express and Mac pro without Aiport Extreme

Hi
I'm connected to my neighbors router normally on my macbook pro. Now I've bought a mac pro without airport and I've got this old Express which I've been told to work with my mac pro.
I've tried the Airport Utility to route the neighbors signal to my Airport express. After I've entered the password to the original network the airport reboots and doesn't show anywhere.
The mac pro says that I can't get connection to the net and in "system prefs" I hasn't got any IP or connection on the ethernet ports.
I'm using leopard BTW.

Is your neighbor's wireless router another AirPort or Time Capsule? If not, you will not be able to configure both routers for a Wireless Distribution System (WDS). This would be required to enable the AirPort Express Base Station's (AX) Ethernet port for your Mac Pro.

Extremely poor bandwidth and instable connection on Mac Pro to Airport WLAN

Hi folks!
Following Problem: My Mac Pro delivers terrible WLAN performance while my wifes iBook runs the WLAN absolutely stable and up to 5 times faster!!
Been experimenting a lot, but nothing worked so far. It seems with every "update" in the recent months it got worse and worse.
Here are the DETAILS:
Mac Pro (2006)
Dual 3 GHz Dual-Core Xeon
Mac OS X 10.6.3
connected via 802.11n/ 2.4 GHz - signal full (connecting to 5 GHz network fails or delivers no bandwith)
average of 0,5 MB/s download
average of 0,1 MB/s upload
Signal / Noise: -79 dBm / -89 dBm
Send rate: 5
System Settings > Network
Airport DNS: 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220
All Ethernet MTUs: 1452
STRANGE: the data stream shown in network activity monitor keeps jumping from 30kB/s to 1.5 MB/s looks like like a very pointed saw. sometimes its continously high at 1.3 MB/s for 5 Sec then dead then saw again and whatever. sometimes it looks like a chart from the stock exchange.
Tried external System 10.5.5: a little bit of the saw-effect but much more stable. still only about 0.9 MB/s download in average.
ON THE OPPOSITE...
iBook G4
1.33 GHz
Mac OS X 10.5.8
connected via 802.11g/ 2.4 GHz - signal full while sitting right next to the Mac Pro
average of 2.3 MB/s download
average of 1,6 MB/s upload
NICE: continous data stream shown in network activity monitor
RUNNING on:
Airport Utility Version 5.5.1
Airport Extreme Base Station (Simul. Dual-Band II)
Firmware Version 7.5.1
Date bought: Feb 2010
All setting on automatic
WPA2 Key
Name for 5 GHz netzwork aktivated
Multicast: high
Sending Power: 100%
Timeout WPA: 1hr
further 3 checkboxes unchecked
My assumption: System 10.6.3 ***** for older Mac Pro OR Mac Pro's Airport Card is corrupted OR I need an external antenna (if there is such a thing) OR I need some sort of update or sophisticated settings.
Is there ANYTHING I can do? I am pretty close to drill a few holes into the walls of our appartment and get me a long ethernet cable!!
THANX for help!

Ok, now I did the following: Bought a Edimax EW-7711USn WiFi USB Adapter and hooked it up to the USB Port in the back of the Cinema Display. Airport is deaktivated. Installed the Ralink WLAN Utility that is provided with to USB device.
Upside: Getting continous data stream at 1.3 MB/s to 2.1 MB/s = ok
Downside: USB-Adapter stays off after Mac restart. So prior using it, I need to pull it out and stick it in again. Then it connects within 5 Secs.
For only 25 € this is an ok solution. If anybody figures out how to crank up the connectivity of the internal Airport Extreme Card, please let me know.

Mac Pro and Airport Extreme Card

I have a new mac pro and installed the airport extreme card. I cannot see my network but the system tells me the card is on. Any suggestions? I can connect with a direct ethernet connection.

I bought a mac pro last year and went for the wireless option with it. You know the upgrade. Anyway it came as a seperate item and i had to install it myself. It doesn't look anything like the one pictured here, well it just doesn't have a cover like it. So anyway i can't pick up any outside networks and when i share the internet connection with it i have to put my psp right next to the case to get a profoundly amazing 12% signal, Any ideas?

I read online that some mac products in 2011 were put on the market defective , you can get a warranty extension or even a replacement mac?

How to backup MacBook Pro without AirPort Time Capsule or External hard drive

How to backup MacBook Pro without AirPort Time Capsule or External hard drive

This is crude but if you need a work around, just plug the USB drive directly into the iMac.. copy the files to it.. then plug it into the TC.
You also do not need to use the TC as an intermediary between your iMac and MBP.. just turn on sharing in the computer.. so you can directly copy files from one to the other.. Macs have public access directory preconfigured for each user account.
As far as mounting the TC..
In finder use Go, Connect to server.. and type.
AFP://TCname or TCipaddress
Where TCname is the actual name of the TC.. I strongly recommend you follow SMB network rules.. ie if your TC has a name like
Fred Blog's Time Capsule 2445566.
It is too long.. it has spaces and it has non-alphanumeric characters.
Shorten it to FredTC
No spaces no characters that are NOT alphanumeric.
TCIPaddress is simply the standard IP.
You can also use CIFS://TCname which according to the article forces the connection back to SMB1 rather than SMB2 which as usual is broken.
But I would definitely use AFP if possible. I cannot understand the decision to move to SMB as standard.

Do Mac Pros need network cards?

I bought a Mac pro in 2007. It's running 10.4. Do I need to buy a network card to access an existing wireless network?

In 2007, so that should have been an original Mac Pro. The wireless network card was an optional add-on with a Mac Pro, so if you did not order one with it, then you do not have a wifi card and will need to purchase one.
I think wifi was only as a build to order option (that is, no wifi as standard equipment) up to about the 2010 Mac Pro's.
P.S. if you are really running 10.4 on that machine, then you must actually have a PowerMac G5, not a Mac Pro (all Mac Pro's are Intel machines) and the first Mac Pro would have shipped with OS X 10.5 on it. No PowerMac every shipped with wifi as a standard item, only as build to order optional equipment.

Bought new mac pro, does not work with sims 3.

I bought a mac pro 13" today with 2,4 Ghrz, 4 GB RAM. I bought sims 3 pets and installed it. But I can't play it properly. All the settings are on low, and there are no details. When I set it on high my sims flashes, and the game goes slowly. What can be the problem??

http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/407986.page this is where you should be asking this question. seems like they need to fix some bugs with Lion.

It all depends - if you can put that $754 towards a new unit, an you can afford to add a little something to it, then I would go for a new computer. How old is your machine? Only you can make the decision. If your machine is older, you might want to ask the Apple Store or AASP about their 'flat rate pricing' - a scheme by which you pay a little over $300 and they repair everything on the machine. They may stick to their guns and only offer you the $754, but it's worth asking about.
See this concerning the flat rate repair option.
Good luck,

HT1338 new Apple I bought a Mac Pro, since I got it keeps crashing....all the time!!! It is my first Mac computer and it is horrible!!!!

I bought a new Apple I bought a Mac Pro Retina screen, since I got it keeps crashing ALL the time!!! This is my first Mac computer and I am hating it!!! I assume I can take down to the any store and they will replace it??

I have a similar problem, my MBP Retina 15" 6 weeks old crashes and locks-up all the time with just about every application. I now have gone back to using my old MS XP system, it is much more stable than Mountain Lion OS and Apple hardware. I use Window-7 at work for last 6 months, not a single crash and/or lock-up. I'm looking at returning/selling my MBP and getting a Window-8 system, Apple is now building crap hardware and software. I recommend you consider the same solution. Good Luck !

How can i change the setting on a mac from someone i bought a Mac pro from to mine?

I recently bought a Mac Pro from a friend of mine who's used t for some months. I want to change the System name and other settings such as app Store, calendars etc to my own profile as i still see his name come up all the time. i cannot update Apps on the store as it keeps asking me for his password.
please help!

Do you mean you have a Macbook Pro (laptop) versus a Mac Pro (desktop)?
You can back up the MBP, restart using Command+R to boot into the Mavericks Recovery HD, erase the Mactintosh HD and Reinstall OS X. Then you can go through setup and configure it with your information and Apple ID. Mavericks should not prompt you for an Apple ID when it goes through the install since that OS is free.
One thing you might want to consider is asking the previous owner to unregister the MBP from his Apple ID if he previously registered it. Then you can register it under your Apple ID.
The previous owner should have wiped it clean and reinstalled the OS that came pre-installed before selling it.

There should be a SIM eject tool in the box. Insert in the small hole on the right hand side of the iPhone to eject the tray. You have to get the correct angle.
I do not believe that a SIM eject tool has been provided for the past couple of years.
