Can 2008 Desktop be converted for wifi

Is there a way a 2008 iMac desktop can operate using wifi.  Where I am moving has wifi but presently my Mac operates via TW Cable with a modem.  Trying to find my options.  I am retired and don't always understand all this stuff but I love my MAC

Most iMac users connect via WiFi.  Apple has been including WiFi (aka Airport) radios in Macs as standard before 2008 iMac models.
<iMac (Early 2008) - Technical Specifications>
System Preferences -> Network -> Wi-Fi
It should be ready to operate as is.  You should not even need to change anything.
You should have a WiFi icon on your memu bar
Where you should be able select the WiFi network, and they if there is a password needed, you will be promoted.

  • How can I find a converter for wmv movies

    How can I find a converter for wmv movies. I tried some converters, but non was sufficiant enough!

    Flip4Mac WMV Player from  http://www.telestream.net/flip4mac-wmv/overview.htm  (Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported, even by Microsoft). This will enable you to play the video. To convert it you will need the paid-for Pro version of Flip4Mac.

  • Can PowerPC applications be converted for use with Lion OSX? If so, how?

    Can PowerPC applications be converted for use with Lion OSX? Ifso, how?

    Three workarounds:
    1.  If your Mac supports it, partition your internal hard drive or use an external drive and install Snow Leopard.  Then you can "dual-boot" into Snow Leopard when you want to run your PowerPC applications.
    2.  Upgrade and/or find alternative replacements for your PPC software that run without Rosetta.
    3.  Install Snow Leopard (with Rosetta) into Parallels 7 in Lion:

    Or in Mountain Lion:

  • I can't remember my password for wifi on iphone 4. I'm with ATT and using windows 7 on my ps. Can anyone help?

    What router are you using?  If it's a linksys go to your browser and type in 192.168.1.1 and then browse for your wireless security password/or reset it. 

  • How can I get raw converter for Sony a7m2

    Aperture does not recognize raw files from my new Sony Alpha a7m2 camera. How can I get an update for Aperture? I have Aperture 3.6.
    I have macbook pro retina display using ox10.10.1

    Check, if your camera is on this list, that shows the supported cameras: http://www.apple.com/aperture/specs/raw.html
    I could not find it there, but perhaps the camera is known by more than one name.
    If the camera is not yet supported, you will have to wait, until Apple releases raw support for the camera and use the software that came with your camera to develop the raw files.

  • I can use my time capsule for wifi, but can't connect for backup

    I have been using my TC for a couple of years now, always as a router and backup disk.  I went on a long trip then came back and tried to connect to it, I can use the wifi, but I can't connect to the disk to see it or use it for backups.  I also have a PC connected to the TC and I can see the contents on there through explorer.
    Any ideas would be appreciated...

    how do I get the Mac addresses for each device (this won't be a problem, I demand the device, check it, and then return it).
    What wireless devices are we looking at here?
    Most devices have the AirPort ID or MAC Address or Hardware Address printed on the back or bottom of the device
    Otherwise, you can learn the correct number by process of elimination. Turn off all wireless devices except your Mac computer....if it is connecting using wireless.
    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Click on the Time Capsule icon
    Look for Wireless Clients and click on the numerical IP address that is displayed
    Another box will open
    Look for the Hardware Address. It will be displayed as xx : xx : xx : xx :xx : xx
    Write that down and note that it is your Mac.
    Now, connect another wireless device and repeat the sequence.  Click on the "other" listing that you see to find out more info about that device.  Write down the ID or Address and note what device it is. Then power it off.
    Do the same for each wireless device that you want to have limited access.
    Post back when you have all the info.

  • Can we handle content convertion for TabDelimiter flat file in JMS

    Hi,
    Is it possible to handle content conversion for TabDelimiter flat file in JMS (Not in FILE adapter).
    If possible .. can you please explain.
    Regards,
    Siva.

    Hi, Siva:
    Yes, this is possible.
    The way that JMS adapter to handle content cnversion is similar to the way file adapter does.
    Different from file adapter, you do not have to specify "Content Conversion" as transport protocol, you need to use transformation bean (localejbs/AF_Modules/MessageTransformBean) in Module tab.
    Check page 23 of the following link:

  • How can i remove un/pw for wifi when teachers use their own logins for wifi connection.

    I work at a public school district and each of our teachers have ipads. They user their usernames and passwords to connect to our networks wifi. I am needing to remove the username and password of last years teachers so the new teacher can sign in with theirs. I tried the suggestion of: Settings, General, Reset and Reset all Networks but when I go back i to sign into the wifi connection it is still automatically connecting to the previous users.

    Have you talked with your networking it specialist?  Perhaps the router is keying off the MAC address.

    Is there any Apps that can create WPA/WPA2 encryption for (WiFi) Ad-hoc connection beside default WEP? I'm aware that WEP is not as good as WPA/WPA2 encryption......... i'm using my neighbours WiFi connection for free...

    If you want WPA, then your key_mgmt and pairwise are definitely wrong. I'd say don't set key_mgmt, pairwise and group at all, the defaults are ok.

  • I can't save the setting for dowloads to go to the specified folder (such as the desktop). It restores to default when I close Forefox.

    I can't save the setting for downloads to go to the specified folder (such as the desktop). It works once but it restores to default next time I open Firefox.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    Make sure that you not run Firefox in [[Private Browsing]] mode.
    In Private Browsing mode some menu items are disabled (grayed) and some features like visited links and others are disabled and not working.

  • Apple tech helped me 60 min ago. Told me to create new account for wife. Wiped out her ipod music--now iTunes wont let me download it in her new account so I can restore her music!  Help!!

    Today an Apple tech helped me 60 min ago. Although my wife and I have diff apple ID's, our music was mixing and syncin back and forth.  The tech told me to create new comp user account for wife which I did. I wiped out everything on her ipod and signed in under her ID.  When I tried to put it back I got a message that I couldn't download her purchased music for 90 days because there was another apple ID associated with my computer.  Not sure wether that means mine or hers.  What I am sure of is that I'm dead if I can't get her music back.  Please help.  Thanks,  Craig

    I can understand how that would be frustrating. If you created a brand new Apple ID for her, your Apple ID should not have been affected any more than anyone else's. They are as separate from one another as your Apple ID is from mine.
    Since you just bought your MacBook Air, you can certainly contact AppleCare for this, and I encourage you to do so. They will straighten it out.
    Until then, if you want to troubleshoot this on your own, sign in to your Apple ID here:
    https://appleid.apple.com/
    Click the blue "Manage your Apple ID" button. If it says it no longer exists or gives you other hassles, it's probably not worth your effort to pursue. Have Apple fix it.
    Contact Apple starting with this link - never Google it: http://www.apple.com/support/
    Navigate the pages as follows:
    Under "Contact Us" click the blue "Contact Support" link
    Click the blue "Get Started" button
    Click "More Products & Services"
    Click "Apple ID"
    Click "iTunes Store, App Store or Mac App Store"
    Continue with the appropriate options and choose the contact method most convenient for you.
