Can I connect my I MAC 8.1 to a wireless modem like verizon mifi 4g using airport ?

I am thinking of buying a verizon 4G jetpack Mifi 4510L. I know it will work for my laptop. However my desktop I MAC 8.1, I'm not sure of, is there a way to connect using airport or will I need another devise?

If you have a recent iMac, then it will most definitely have built-in WiFi (Apple calls this "AirPort" - which is the WiFi component in the machine). If you have Mac OS X Leopard or Snow Leopard (or Mac OS X Lion) on your iMac, and you have an iMac from at least 2007 onwards, I'd presume it has WiFi built-in, and so you will be able to connect to a Wi-Fi network fine. However, if you are referring to an old iMac (i.e. the iMac with various plastic colours) then it will not have Wi-Fi built-in as, to the best of my knowledge, it did not have built-in WiFi when it was sold in the late 90s to the early 2000s.

    The Mini-DVI to DVI adapter is designed for the iMac (Intel Core Duo), MacBook, and 12-inch PowerBook G4 — allowing you to connect to an external DVI monitor. It can also be used in combination with the Apple DVI to ADC adapter to support older Apple flat panel Studio or Cinema Displays.

    Composite is analogue with one connector. That is why it is called composite
    Component is analogue with three connections. I think one for each color
    Here is the one for component. I misread composite for component

    Hi there Rlong50,
    You may want to try force closing all open apps and resetting the device as an initial troubleshooting step. Take a look at the articles below for more information.

    Every Mac Mini has a USB port. Every Mac Mini can run iTunes. The only catch is that you need to be running Mac OS X 10.5.8 (Leopard) or later. So in general, yes, an iPad can connect to a Mac Mini.

  • NAS drives grayed out and can't connect to other Macs

    Hello All,
    After upgrading my 15-inch, Mid 2010 MacBook Pro to Mavericks (10.9 13A603) my NAS storage drives are grayed out in Finder. I can't go directly to my NAS drive in Finder. I can't simply click on the NAS drives in Finder and see what is in the directory. The directories are grayed out!.
    In order for me to connect to my NAS stotage drive I have to go to "DEVICES" on the leftside of the Finder window and then click on the MacBook Pro HD. From there I have to click on "Network." From "Network" I can get a slow connection to my NAS.
    As for as connection to other Macs in my office, I have to take the same steps above. I can't connect directly to the other Macs in my office in Finder. Nether can the other Macs connect to other Macs! All Macs in the office are set up to allow both AFP and SMB. However, one lonely 2009 iMac in our office is still on Mountian Lion and it can connect to other Macs and the our NAS without problems.
    One strange things this, I can do a Screen Share to the other Macs from my 2010 MacBook Pro! I can't connect directly in Finder, but I can do a Screen Share. Strange!
    Is there a fix for this or was Marverick let out the jungle to earily?
    Help! and Thanks!

    I forgot to add that everything was previously connected via an Airport express wireless system. I just got an Airport Extreme system which hasn't changed things a bit.

  • How can I connect to multiple Macs over the internet?

    I have forwarded the ports on my Airport Extreme as follows:
    10.0.1.3 being assigned to my Mac Mini.
    I also have a MacBook Pro at home I would like access to which has the 10.0.1.4 reserved/assigned. I cannot connect to it because the port forwarding points to the Mac Mini, and it doesn't allow me to create another rule since those ports are already being used by that first entry. How do I go about having the option to connect to either one of the two computers at home when I'm at work using Apple Remote Desktop?

    it's not really a confirmed limitation of ARD, ARD is not designed to work outside of a LAN
    it's designed for system admins to manage macs remotely while on the same LAN
    but you want to use it outside of your LAN, you can by using VPN 
    VPN gives you remote secure access to your LAN
    you will appear to be connected to your LAN
    so you can do most things as you would if you were actually on your LAN
    ARD does not facilitate a VPN connection
    you'd connect using a VPN connection to your LAN then start ARD, ARD will behave just as it would if you were on the LAN
    VPN client is built into OSX, system preferences, network, add choose VPN connection
    You'd need a VPN server such as OSX server on your LAN
    and configure any firewalls, routers etc to allow incoming VPN to connect to your server
    You'd also need either a fixed external IP address and external domain name or use dynamic DNS setup
    you could also try logmein

  • HT1178 Do I want to create a new wireless network or join my current network?  I can't connect an ethernet cable to the Mac / printer and to the wireless modem at same time - in two different rooms.

    I am trying to set up Time Capsule so that I can do my first backup (after 1 1/2 years!) with Time Machine.  I have read other forums, but in each case they instructions eventually do not apply.
    I have connected my TC to my existing wireless router.  This sits in a bedroom and cannot be moved as a rental home.
    I have plugged in the TC and updated the software.
    Now - do I want to A Create a New Wireless Network (remember I can't connect the TC to Mac using an Ethernet cable). B Replace an existing base station or wireless router with TC (only intend to use for TM as don't know other benefits as of yet). or C want TC to join current network. 
    Thinking C.  If I choose C, it then asks A TC to wireless join current network (NO as already connected using Ethernet). B want to connect TC to my network using Ethernet to extend my existing wireless network. C want to disable the wireless network on this TC and connect it to my computer or network using Ethernet - CANNOT do this as devices can not be in the same room.
    Or do I want to create new wireless network - first set of questions - choice A?  What is the benefit to creating a new one when I won't be in this rental house for longer than 18 more months??
    Please help and quickly!  Thanks!

    Let me suggest some things.
    But first ask exactly what wireless router you have now and what type of broadband service?
    Are you happy with the wireless on the current router? If so, then you can plug the TC straight into whatever computer you have by ethernet, short 1M cord with no connection to the network. And use it without affecting your existing network at all. This is trivial setup.
    Although you don't say exactly what Mac and printer you are using, is it a desktop? Laptop it is definitely easier not to plug it in, but a desktop you can plug in the TC and it will all sit happily together.
    How is the printer connected and to what?
    I am not sure why you need such quick help.. this is all minor setup stuff.. and 18months in todays world is like permanent man.
    Your multiple A, B, C are more confusing than helpful.
    The best choices without more info.. are to replace the existing wireless router with the TC. ie your option B.. but how to do this depends on the type of connection. Is it cable or adsl? Can you easily bridge the existing modem router.. if that is what it is?
    Think carefully in the ideal world what would you like..
    and what do you have..
    We can probably suggest ways and means to fit what you like to what you have.. without introducing a stack of options that are doing your head in.

  • Can I connect my old mac to my new mac using the thunderbolt to ethernet adapter

    I've got a lot of data to transfer from one mac to another, one with thunderbolt and one without. I was wondering if by using the thunderbolt to ethernet adapter I could connect the two macs in a target mode kinda way.
    I know people will answer with a lot of other options in how to do this, but I am specifically interested in whether or not this option is possible.
    Thanks!

    you can use the adapter with any Thunderbolt-equipped Mac running OS X Lion 10.7.4 or later, but you'll want to install the Thunderbolt Software Update 1.2.1 after having the 10.7.4 upgrade

  • How can I connect 10.4 Mac to Windows Small Business Server 2003?

    I have seen some other discussions touching on this topic and have tried the various solutions but am getting nowhere. I can't connect my iBook, which is running Tiger, to our office's server, a Windows Small Business Server 2003. I am the only Mac user and as a Mac devotee actually spent my own hard cash for the iBook. (I work for a non-profit with low funds.) Previously, when our office had a different server and I had Panther, I could access the server. Then it was purely an academic exercise, since I had no need to access the shared files. Now I have a project that requires this, and I am stumped. Our part-time IT consultant is also stumped. We have tried a lot of the suggestions from other posts, to no avail. I suggested to the IT guy that there could be a problem regarding the encryption of my password, and I think he tried that. We have tried various versions of the domain name. The server comes up in the list when I follow the "go--connect to server--browse" path, but we come up empty. We've gotten error message -36, a message that we are trying to connect an alias to something that can't be found, and a message that we don't have enough information to go any further (something like that). I am writing from my eMac at home, so I can't reconstruct the situation right now. I have found in my extensive internet search that Thursby has something called ADmitMac that is pretty expensive software ($119 for one person) that I could install on the iBook and could help me access the Windows Small Business Server 2003 without doing anything else to the server. Does anyone know if that would that work? Any suggestions would be so appreciated!

    I have specific errors listed below:
    Actually, I have been encountering similar problems.  I have an end user who wants to connect to an SBS 2003 server, and can not connect/use RWW because the Active X will not work, cannot use the VPN in PPTP mode because Windows 8 disallows the connection
    ("Error 942: The connection could not be established because the authentication method used by your connection profile is not permitted for use by an access policy configured on the RAS/VPN server."), and cannot use an L2TP VPN connection because it requires
    a certificate "Error 766: A certificate could not be found. Connections that use the L2TP protocol over IPSEC require the installation of a machine certificate, also known as a computer certificate.".  I attempted to utilize the SBS Connection Tool downloaded
    from RWW, but it fails with a proxy error ("Unable to execute custom script (Configure proxy settings for IE). Required file could be missing." - likely due to the PPTP tunnel it tries to use). I went so far as to install the Enterprise CA on the server, installed
    the Hotfix
    (KB922706) so that the website could be accessed from Vista and above, and installed the requested certificate.  The VPN fails to connect after
    it times out and fails to negotiate a connection.  This last one is "Error 789: L2TP connection attempt failed because the security layer
    encountered a processing error during the initial negotiations with the remote computer."
    I have screenshots to share if anyone cares to see.  I really just get the feeling that Microsoft is trying to kill SBS 2003 by ingoring it into oblivion. 
    The VPN works fine with Windows 7 clients by the way.
