Can I add a bluetooth internal card into a "17 iMac5,2?

Hi all
I just got a 17" 1.83mhz imac (late 2006CD) and while checking the internal system info I saw
that it didn't have any bluetooth hardware so I was wondering can I install a bluetooth card from
an imac that doesn't work (from about the same year as mine)? I haven't opened up mine yet but
wanted to know if it can be done. Yes I know that there are some "usb bluetooth dongles" but I
would prefer to get an org Apple card and install it inside my imac and to keep my 3 usb ports free.
Thanks!!!
Serge

HI Kappy!
Thanks for your response!! Ok so what company would you recommend for this
dongle so that it can work with Apple Bluetooth products (key, mouse etc...)?
Thanks!!
Serge

Can I add a second graphics card?

I have an older G$ Quicksilver with a 32MB Geforce2 MX display card. I want to add a second vga monitor in pan mode to display one program while the other monitor displays another program. Can I add a second GeForce2 MX 32MB AGP card to accomplish this? Or do I need a more powerful card to replace the one I have?

You can't add a second AGP card (there is only one AGP slot on the motherboard). You could add a PCI graphics card, but you will get much better performance by replacing your current AGP card with one that supports two monitors. There are various options depending on whether you have a display using ADC, how much performance you want, and price.
If you need ADC and don't want to buy a DVI to ADC adapter, you can look for a used Macintosh NVIDIA GeForce 2 MX Twinview or NVIDIA GeForce 4 Titanium. These don't support Core Video, so will not be able to take advantage of some features and speed improvements in Tiger.
If you don't need ADC, or get a DVI to ADC adapter, you can get much better performance. The best (but expensive) is the ATI Radeon 9800 Pro Mac Edition 256MB. It has a DVI and a VGA port.
A lot cheaper, and a bit slower, is the ATI Radeon 9600 Pro Power Mac G5 edition, modified to work in a G4 Quicksilver. See:
<http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Apple/630ATI96G4/>
With this card you will need an ADC to VGA adapter to run your second monitor. The other port is DVI.
Beware of the ATI Radeon 9600 Pro PC & Mac Edition 256MB card. It will not work in some Quicksilver modes.

Can I put my iphone sim card into my ipad mini?

Can I put my iphone sim card into my ipad mini?

Depends on the model of iPhone, and the actual cellular plan it has.
If its an iPhone 5 with an unlimited Data Plan you may be able to do it.
Any other model of iPhone or a plan without a data packcage will not work.

Can I add a 3g sim card to the ipad?

Can I add a 3g Wifi card to a wifi-enabled iPad?

If you have a wifi-only iPad then you can't add a micro-sim card to the actual iPad - it doesn't have a sim slot or the hardware within it to use it. You might be able to get a mifi device, or use an iPhone as a personal hotspot for the iPad.

Can I add a third internal hard drive?

I have a G4 Quicksilver with the original 80 G drive, and a second internal hard drive of 100 G that I added to the Drive Position 3 slot several years ago.
I would like to add a third internal hard drive (video files, backup, and all that) using Drive Position 2. I have looked all over the web without a clear answer. Is it possible to add another ATA internal drive, or must I settle for an external drive via Firewire 800?

Well, I can explain what each option will do for you, but it all depends on what you need and what you are willing to spend.
The quickest and easiest option is to use the ATA-3 bus. If you are streaming video directly to the drive and need something fast, then I wouldn't recommend this. But if you are using it as storage for video files, then this would be fine. Basically the ATA-3 bus is not high performance and will show through to be a little slower, but for storage this isn't really an issue. It depends on what you are using it for...
The next easiest option would be to buy an external firewire drive. Since you already have the firewire 800 card, you may as well get one. Firewire 800 is pretty fast, boasting an 800 mbit/sec (or 66.6 MB/s) transfer speed. It will probably seem pretty similar in speed to the internal drives. The only drawback is that it is external...some people don't care about externals, but for me, I like it all internal. No fuss. But that's up to you. I had a firewire drive for a little while, but the enclosure failed in a year so I just pulled the drive out and mounted it internally. Runs a little faster now...
The last option would be to pull one of your PCI cards and get a ATA or SATA controller card. This is the most expensive option, but would probably be the highest performer. Drives hooked up to a controller card will seem a little faster, but for the most part will be pretty similar to your main ATA bus. The bus is not the problem and has never been the problem-the drives themselves are the bottleneck. Think about it this way: A drive has a peak transfer rate of 150 MB/sec (just for illustration.), and is connected to a bus that can transfer up to 300 MB/sec. How much speed will you gain if you move the drive over to a bus that can transfer up to 9,999,999,999,999 GB/sec? Haha. None! The bottleneck is the drive transfer speed, not the bus transfer speed. So the speed gains you will get from a controller card will be minimal, unless you get faster spinning drives (7,200, 10,000 or 15,000 RPM drives). The main way a controller card allows you to speed up transfer rates is by setting up a RAID. I doubt you want or need a RAID, and can cost a lot, so I won't go into that.
Just remember that the controller card is basically overkill if all you need is one extra drive. Either hook up a drive to the ATA-3 or go with an external firewire drive since you already have the firewire 800.

Can't add a new address card to Address Book

Hi!
Well, I searched and searched the site all over and haven't found any info about this, so I hope I'm not repeating. When I open my address book app and try to add a new card the options under file for "New Card" and "New group", etc. are dimmed and not available and I cannot add any new addresses.
I tried to add addresses out of the "previous recipient" under "window" in the Mail app but it marked it as added and then didn't add it -- it was not in my address book when I checked.
I also tried to throw my address book preference lists in my user library in the trash, emptied the trash and then restarted and it still would not work. ( I am the only user on this computer)
I recently had a reinstall done of my OS X (i'm running 10.4.3) which was done by the guys at my Apple store and I THOUGHT it was working -- although frankly this was not something I checked -- I just saw that my addresses were there. [I had had them do a reinstall because I was having trouble with my Help files working, but that is a very long, sad story...] The only other thing I have done is to install the most recent security update 2005-009 using the software update, but again I'm not sure that this problem was not present before that since I had not tried to add an address.
I even threw out the cache from my user library for the address book that says Metadata (after I printed out my addresses on paper, just in case -- I don't have hundreds and i can manually add them back if needed) Restarted -- and oddly enough there were my addresses in my address book just as if I hadn't trashed them. But I still could not add any new addresses.
I also ran a check on my fonts with Font book and one was found to be defective so I deleted it and restarted -- no effect.
What can I do? I haven't had any of this type of problem before and I think the guys at my Apple store are probably getting tired of seeing me! Thanks for your help!
Quicksilver G4 Mac OS X (10.4.3)
Quicksilver G4 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

The address book database is stored under the user's home folder in library>application support>AddressBook>AddressBook.data - i would save that some place safe (RW CD) and then delete it or move it to see if Address Book regains it's functionailty. If so that means one of the files might be corrupt. Add them back one by one and see if you can have contacts and functionality.
Alternatively you can also try, repair permissions, check disk etc from disk utility (utilities folder), and you can also try reinstalling the 10.4.3 update, i would suggest a fresh download of the combo update (yes i know it's big but it has worked wonders for me in the past).
If all else fails the apple shop should offer a free follow up, usually if there are still problems within a time period after getting it back they will re-service it for free.
Hope that helps, keep us updated

Can I add a Second Video card to my power mac g5

Yes you can add a second card but you need to be sure if your machine is pci, pcix or pcie. The 2.5ghz G5 Quad is a pcie machine. I added a second 256mb card to it and now an running 3 24" and 1 17" monitors. Tom

Can i add a video graphics card to the HP TouchSmart 420t

I just purhased an HP Touchsmart 420T and I'd like to know if I can add a video graphics card?

This is the same answer that has been given for every model over the past 3 years and continues to be the case.
For all intent the graphics cards in the Touchsmart desktops are NOT upgradable, even with a "standard" MXM card since the motherboard and BIOS are custom made for HP and do not support additional non-HP graphics cards and their firmware/BIO

How can I add wifi & bluetooth to late 2006 Mac Pro

I have a dual 2.66 Xeon Mac Pro purchased new in December 2006. I wanted to add the airport wifi and bluetooth card but have been told by the technical line that Apple no longer makes these. They suggested I would have to pursue a third party solution which I find remarkable.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to go about this or practical experience in doing it?
Cheers,
Gord

Look on eBay or search Google. You can check ifixit.com to see if they carry the part. You should be able to find online tutorials via Google on how to install it. Some disassembly is required.
