Can a G3 iBook airport card fit into my G4 17" iMac?

Just wondering if anyone know whether my old iBook airport card will fit into the G4 17" iMac.

Your iBook G3 uses the original 802.11b AirPort card.
Your 1 GHz iMac G4 requires the 802.11b/g AirPort Extreme card. Your iMac can not use the older card.

  • Can a pcie-1x sound card fit into the third pcie-8x slot of P7N Platinium ?

    can a pcie-x1 sound card fit into the third pcie-x8 slot of P7N Platinium (indicated by the green arrow in the pic below) ?
    what is the intended usage or practical usage for that 3rd slot?
    Also, kindly enquire if 3 ways SLI really feasible and any driver is released and tested to support it?
    My rig specification are as follow: 1)msi p7n sli platinium, 2)intel e8400 stock cooler, 3) 2x 2GB Crucial Ballistix  DDR2 800, 4)2x msi 8800gt oc 512mb  5) acbel M8 750 6) Samsung 160gb hdd 7) Asus DRW.
    thank you. i do like this motherboard, very nice layout and the circu-pipe in particular. lack of sata ports has been compensated by purchasing a 4 sata ports controller card. if the third pcie x8 is a pcie x1 slot, that will be even better.

    Yes you can
    great to hear that. like that, i can consider buying the Asustek Xonar D2X Audio Card PCI-E as the green indicated pcie x8 is my only unoccupied slot after using 2  gfxs (2 slots) and 1 sata controller pci card.
    thank for your prompt reply.

  • Regular Airport card - fit in iMac DV SE 400?

    Hello there,
    I'm trying to install an 802.b AirPort card on my iMac DV SE 400 but it does't seem to fit. The antena cable in the iMac inserts properly in the card but the plastic slot where the card in supposed to go is too wide. Also, there's no male connector in the iMac to connect the card to. The AirPort card fits and works properly in both, my G4 MDD and my 867 PB. I thought this card was supposed to work in my iMac. Am I missing something?
    Thanks a lot for any help you may provide.
    Jacobo

    Yes that card fits but you also need the adapter. More information can be found in Duane, "iMac CRT: I want to make my iMac wireless...", 01:51pm Jan 31, 2005 CDT.

  • Looking to get a Mac Pro Refurb, How can I get the Airport card too?

    I can't find an airport card available anywhere for the Mac Pro. The refurbs do not look like they come with one. I can't find it from apple or anyone else.
    What's the deal, and what can be done?
    Thanks a lot,
    Mark

    You can take it into an Apple Authorized Service Provider (AASP) or search on-line for places which offer the card.
    One site is Fastmac.com.

  • Will 802.11n card fit into 2005 iMac?

    Is there any point? Perhaps not, but I want to consign my iMac G5 to a workshop studio in my garden, and I need to get a wi-fi card for it first. Will the newer 802.11n cards fit in old 2005 G5 iMacs, or is the slot only intended for the older 802.11g cards?

    Will the newer 802.11n cards fit in old 2005 G5 iMacs...
    No
    ...or is the slot only intended for the older 802.11g cards?
    Yes, only for the AirPort Extreme card.

    I would say no since this

    says the 1G Apple TV uses the same card as a Mac Pro and those do not work in a G4 Mac

    Can I get my sim card cut into a micro sim at an apple store?

    Last I heard, "trimming" the SIM cards was frowned upon by the carriers, so I doubt Apple would go ahead and do such a thing at the Stores.
    But YMMV.

  • Airport card is not recognized by G3 iMac

    I recently acquired a G3 600 MHz iMac, running OS X 10.4.11, and I want to join the iMac to my wireless network. So I purchased an Airport card ( tested card on a ibook running 10.4.11 and it works fine.) and seated it in the G3 iMac. For some reason the iMac does not recognize it one bit. I checked profiler and System Preferences and no sign of an Airport Card. I then opened the iMac and reseated the card, I even changed out the adapter with another adapter I had. After researching online, some people suggested an archival OS restore. Although I would try that but unfortunately I do not have any of the original install disks. So my question is: does anyone know how I can make the os recognize the card?
    Greatly appreciate the help.

    There are two versions of the original AirPort card, and their identify can be determined using the information below.
    The poster you replied to may be referring to this post quoted below, though even if he had the initially issued card, it would not explain why the card is not recognized. Though incapable of supporting advanced security, it would otherwise be recognized and operate as expected if seated properly, as you have described.
    The original AirPort card was equivalent to a WaveLAN Silver card, and supported only 40-bit WEP or 64-bit encryption, and did not support WPA.
    The original AirPort Base Station which shipped with these cards on board was limited to 10 clients, had only a 10BbaseT LAN port, and supported only 40-bit WEP. Later cards which looked physically identical, supported 104 bit WEP, or 128-bit encryption, as did the AirPort Base Stations which included them. This second card, also manufactured initially in the Netherlands for Apple by AT&T's Lucent unit—later know as ORiNOCO—was equivalent to the WaveLAN Gold card.
    The 661-2219 part number is distinguished by the M7600LL/* marketing designator screened on the label, as well as engineering revision part number 825-4889 and worldwide procurement part number 630-2883. EEE code G3G is embedded right-most in the last four characters of each part's serial number. *This character is typically A, B or C.
    The 661-2569, on the other hand, is distinguished by an M7600LL/D or later marketing designator, engineering revision part number 825-5620, the same worldwide procurement part number 630-2883 and typically the phrase '128 bits' along the lower center of the label. EEE codes LH8, M6Y or QAC are embedded right-most in the last four characters of each part's serial number.
    While a procurement number generally changes when a service part number change is made, this product did not, as Lucent remained its sole supplier, the 'change' to the card involved different firmware and not a physical change to the product, and Apple personnel largely considered them equivalent, though they were and are not.
    Graphite AirPort base station models initially used the M7600LL/A, B or C cards, and was itself designated the M7601LL/A and later, the M7601LL/B. Both base stations were also designated as 661-2265 whole unit service replacement parts. Every card we've ever seen in a Graphite base station was a 661-2219 and was marked as described above.
    Apple did not adequately document many of these parts and there applications at the time they were still in use, and all have disappeared from their inventory—except in limited cases—as has much of what existed for documentation. Given their personnel changes over the years, it's quite likely that no one there now can recall the subtle differences or properly identify these products. Once there are designated vintage, then obsolete, they drop quickly off of the radar.
    While any properly functioning iMac compatible AirPort card properly mounted in a 076-0804 adapter would show up in the System Profiler without the antenna connected, the performance of such a card would be poor to abysmal.
    I believe that you are completely correct when you indicate that either the adapter is not seated properly, that it is not working properly, or that the logic board is defective. The latter two scenarios are quite unlikely, though possible.

  • Which airport card do i need for a imac g3 with mac os x 10.1?

    I have a imac g3 with mac os x 10.1.What airport card will i need?

    Hello puckey12345. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    I have a imac g3 with mac os x 10.1.What airport card will i need?
    The iMac G3s with a clock speed of 400 MHz or faster, has an internal slot for the original AirPort card. The AirPort card adapter is also required to use the card in an iMac G3. The AirPort Extreme card is NOT compatible.

  • Where can I buy the airport card for the G3 ibook?

    Hi
    I recently purchased an old ibook G3 and am wanting to use it wirelessly. I can't seem to locate the airport card that is needed to make it work. Can i buy it from the mac store online? Also, i have the airport extreme at home...will it work on that network with the airport card?? Cheers

    Hi, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
    No, the original AirPort card the iBook needs is no longer available from Apple.
    I just checked these links for the original AirPort card today (ranked in order of price, lowest to highest, shipping not figured):

    Yes, it will work with your AirPort Extreme Base Station.
    Good luck with the iBook.

  • IBook Airport card region

    Simple question: I have iBook with Airport card and I cannot connect or even see my wireless network. My Macbook connects just fine and I looked that the channel is 13. I also looked that my iBook's Airport region is United States. Is it true that this card will only see channels 1 to 11 and that is simply the reason why it cannot connect? The problem should be solved if I change the channel from my wireless modem?

    Simple questions sometimes beget more questions!
    There is a matter of which iBook G4 you have, as some
    of them have a removable AirPort card under the keyboard
    and others have a card on the logic board which combines
    both the Bluetooth and 802.11/b/g wi-fi on one part...
    So, if you have a model with the card under the keyboard,
    the easier method of changing those wi-fi channels would
    be to get the airport card for your region; or if you have a
    control over what channels are available to your private
    network, change the channel or use a different one so as
    to stay within those the card in the computer supports.
    And, if you travel with the iBook and find the available wi-fi
    networks limited by the lack of support in the original card
    as equipped (and you decide to not get a different one) an
    idea to get around that may be to use a USB wi-fi adapter
    that fits into the computer's USB port (fully & snug) and then
    just don't forget it then could get knocked around sticking out.
    Where are you located? Several cards will work most anywhere
    if the channel happens to be one your card supports. A few, do
    overlap; and some are missing channels. There is an Apple
    support document in the online database telling of the different
    regions supported by certain wireless AirPort cards. That may
    be something worth looking into, via a search; perhaps.
    Hopefully you can just change a channel on the base station in
    the local home network, but if traveling, you may find some of
    the available wireless networks won't work due to the channel.
    In some regions, their base stations may be missing channels.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Can I use the airport card in my macro to extend a network?

    I've looked into extending a wireless network using an airport express, etc, but I was wondering if I could use an airport card in my Mac Pro to do this as well?
    I realize I should be able to 'share' as a hotspot, but would prefer to extend an existing (or new) network instead.
    cable modem----> airport or TC -----> Ethernet ----> Mac Pro -----> internal airport card (extends wifi network on airport or TC)
    Thanks,

    System Preferences > Sharing > Internet Sharing ...
    can allow you to declare that your Mac Pro now includes simple Router functions that offers WiFi service to nearby devices. It has some limitations, but DOES offer DHCP to those devices.
    When configured in this fashion, the Address assigned to the port on your Mac Pro is not a meaningful indicator of whether it is working properly -- that will be a self-assigned IP address in the range 169.254.xxx.yyy. The important address is the one provided to the WiFi devices, which is often 192.168.1.1.
    Only the base channels 1 to 11 will be offered. Only WEP encrytion is offered. So if you already have lots of nearby Routers, this option is not that helpful.

  • Where can I find an airport card?!

    I've recently discovered that the Apple airport cards for the older iBooks are extremely difficult to find. Where can I purchase one?

    Expensive these days, but in addition to eBay:

  • Can an image resize automatically to fit into a template?

    Many (weaker) programs allow you to drag an image into a template and have it resize to fit into a specific area.  Can this be done in CS6?  For instance .... if you designed a 4x6 Christmas card template and it had a (place holder?) for a 2x2 photograph, and you dragged an image into this 2x2 area, can it resize automatically to "fill" just that 2x2 area?  This would result in some cropping of just the longest dimension, if the image inserted wasn't a square.

    It can be done with Photoshop Scripting.   Note when the inage has a diffenebt aspect ratio or different shape then the template the images is sized to fit and fill the template open and any excess is masked off.
    I have a free download you can use.  In Photoshop version  CS2 through CS5 Below CS2 some required features are missing and there are bugs in CS6 scripting.
    Photo Collage Toolkit 
    Photoshop scripting is powerful and I believe this package demonstrates this. The package includes four simple rules to follow when making Photo Collage Template PSD files so they will be compatible with my Photoshop scripts.
    There are ten scripts in this package they provide the following functions:
    TestCollageTemplate.jsx - Used to test a Photo Collage Template while you are making it with Photoshop.
    CollageTemplateBuilder.jsx - Can build Templates compatible with this toolkit's scripts.
    LayerToAlphaChan.jsx - Used to convert a Prototype Image Layer stack into a template document.
    InteractivePopulateCollage.jsx - Used to interactively populate Any Photo Collage template. Offers most user control inserting pictures and text.
    ReplaceCollageImage.jsx - use to replace a populated collage image Smart Object layer with an other image correctly resized and positioned.
    ChangeTextSize.jsx - This script can be used to change Image stamps text size when the size used by the populating did not work well.
    PopulateCollageTemplate.jsx - Used to Automatically populate a Photo Collage template and leave the populated copy open in Photoshop.
    BatchOneImageCollage.jsx - Used to Automatically Batch Populate Collage templates that only have one image inserted. The Collage or Image may be stamped with text.
    BatchMultiImageCollage.jsx - Used to Automatically Batch Populate Any Photo Collage template with images in a source image folder. Easier to use than the interactive script. Saved collages can be tweaked.
    PasteImageRoll.jsx - Paste Images into a document to be print on roll paper.
