Can old iMac be retro-fitted to communicate w/ new iMac Intel?
After reading a few of the posts here I'm skeptical about the possibility of going wireless for the first time with my old iMac. I have no airport card for it and since I'm giving up the dial-up service I'd still like to access the internet with both computers and I would like the 2 machines speak to each other and take advantage of my new high speed (cable) internet service.
I don't know if both the hardware and the software is even available for such an old machine.
Can this be done easily and could someone just walk me through the basic steps?
Thanks
Greg P.
According to Apple Specifications, your iMac is "AirPort Ready." Apple no longer provides these cards, but a quick Google-search will come up with at least a dozen 3rd-party vendors that do.
The AirPort card is an 802.11b device, but it is still compatible with all of the AirPort base stations and most other vendor products as well. You may also be able to find Do-It-Yourself (DIY) instructions through this Apple site as well: Online Service Assistant

Can my Imac Intel serve as an Airport Source for a Macbook?
Hi! I'm new to Airport. I have an cable Internet connection going into my ethernet input on my Imac Intel 2.16 GHz. Can I use the Imac to send signals to my Macbook, which has an Airport card, or do I need to purchase a separate Airport base station?
If so, how do I set it up?
Thanks, and excuse my ignorance…
Ciao
RSIf your imac has an airport card, then you can use this so that your macbook can connect:
system preferences > sharing. Tick the 'Internet Sharing' box, and configure everything here.
'share your connection' should be 'ethernet'
'To computers' should be airport. You may want to configure some sort of wifi security also -
Less than 3 yr old iMac, Intel duo core powering out for no apparent reason
I'm fairly new to Apple and have had no problems with my iMac until recently. I upgraded to Leopard when it came out and it's been smooth sailing until now. Recently, whether I'm doing mail, talking on Skype, working with photos in iPhoto, out of the blue the screen will turn black and the iMac essentially powers down. Pushing the power button does nothing and I have had to unplug the iMac and wait 45 min. to an hour before plugging back in and it powers up right away. I'm looking for ideas as to why this is occurring and it's happening more frequently. I am also looking for ideas on how to get myself powered up more quickly than what I have been doing. Open to any suggestions. Thanks!
iMac powered down again without warning again. Have an appt. Sunday at Genius Bar but any insight before the appt. would be helpful. Here's the logs from today:

All is in the title.
I had the exact model and it will only address about 3.1 - 3.2 GB if you have 4 GB installed. That is all it can do - it has nothing to do with the OS version. I decided to go with a total of 3 GB because the 0.1 - 0.2 increase was not worth it to me to pay for the extra 1 GB RAM.
So, the answer is: yes, the iMac will run with 4 GB, but it will not address the full 4 GB, only 3.1 - 3.2 GB. -
Can the iMac Intel 21.5" ($1199) accept four 2 Gig. ram cards?
Yes: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/imac_mid2011_ug.pdf
"Installing Memory
Your iMac has four memory slots. Two are filled with at least a 2 GB memory module. You can install additional memory in the free slots or replace the memory in the filled slots with 2 GB or 4 GB memory modules, for up to 16 GB of memory." -
HT1752 I have an imac intel 24" EMC 2111.
I have an old iMac intel 24" EMC 2111.Its a core 2 duo -2.16 Ghz. It will not boot, showing a file with a question mark flashing on the screen. A recovery disc was used and when running a system check, the following error message : 4SNS/ 1/ 40000000 THOP. Is this something serious, like the mother board? I dont have the original install discs so I cant try to reinstall the OS of that time. Also, could this model be used as a monitor for a laptop if no longer useable as a PC? I already have updated Macs, but like vintage models. Thanks. joeza
Yes it's something serious, you shoudl take it into an Apple Store or an AASP for professional diagnoses. Apple does not publish the error codes so we have no way of telling for sure what your error message means, only a tech would be able to help.
You could not use the model as a monitor with a PC, this feature is called Target Display Mode and was available with 2009 & 2010 27" iMacs using the mini display port on a PC. It is also available on 2011-2012 models using Thunderbolt ports to another machine with Thunderbold output, however connecting to PC's usually does not work.
IMHO it's time to hing about replacing the machine with a newer model.
Good luck. -
Brand new MacBook -- how can it communicate with my old iMac
I just got a new 2.2 GHz MacBook (black) with the current version of Leopard installed (10.5 I guess, I'm posting this from my PC at work, so I can't check). No real problems so far. I've been able to access the Internet through my cable modem at home (had to unplug my desktop, more on that below) and through Wi-Fi.
I still have and plan to keep my G3 iMac desktop machine, running OS 10.2.8, and my basic question is how I can get my two Macs to talk with each other. I don't currently have any sort of network at home -- I'm the only computer user. Setting up an AirPort station would make sense, since it would allow me to use the MacBook anywhere in the house. I'd need to install an AirPort card in the iMac, and the card that's currently available in the online Mac store is AirPort Extreme, which I don't think would work with the old iMac. (The specs say "AirPort Extreme Cards cannot be used in AirPort-ready computers with an AirPort Card slot.") Does any one know if there's a way to use the same AirPort station with both computers.
Since the primary reason for the computers to communication with each other would be to share files, connecting them with some sort of cable would be another option. When I asked the Apple store salesman what I would need, he sold me an Ethernet cable, but that doesn't seem to do the job. If I connect it to the Ethernet ports on both machines, they don't seem to see each other. Do I need some kind of router to connect both machines? Actually if there was a router that connected both computers to the cable modem, one cable could go to the iMac and the other to an AirPort station that would communicate with the MacBook, solving my issue above. Can I do anything via USB ports?
If all else fails, I could e-mail files to myself, but seems a rather roundabout way of doing things.Usually you use a router as the hub for the computers to talk to each other over Ethernet wires or WiFi. When you hook the two computers up directly, you need a cross-over Ethernet cable, which is different from a standard Ethernet cable. (Although some of the newer computers can sense and use either, but I'm not sure about the older G3.)
A wired/wireless router would definitely be the way to go, why not take advantage of your MacBook wireless capability? This will let you share the internet connection, share files, and a printer between the two computers. Just about any router would work from Netgear, Linksys, Newer Technology, or the Apple Airport. Using an Airport Extreme Base Station would allow you to use an Ethernet cable for the G3 iMac and the WiFi for the Macbook. I currently use one this way with my older G3 Desktop and a MacBook. (I think the first time you start up the Airport you configure it over the Ethernet cable, I don't remember if you can do it wirelessly or not the first time.) You plug the cable modem into the router, then each computer into the router, (or connect over WiFi).
Once you have the Airport set up you can turn on file sharing and access each other's hard drive and printer over the network. Should you ever get a PC or have a visitor with one, they can connect also. Set up the password protected encryption and don't broadcast the network name so passersby can't see and connect to your network. -

Can I convert an old IMAC computer with OS 9 operating system from being "dial up" to high speed?
Can anyone tell me how I can convert my old IMAC from "dial up" to go on the internet as high speed? I have an ISP provider for a more modern computer that I own, but I really would like to use my old IMAC on the internet as well? How can I make it compatible with high speed internet? If I try to go on line, the internal modem "dials up". How can I change that and cause it to communicate with my external high speed modem?
Any iMac can connect by ethernet to the router.
You'll need to disable the modem and set up the network config.
Too long since I used OS9 to guide you on that bit; ask in the correct forum;

Can anyone tell me the cable I need to with the iMac & how to do it. I have music and photos on the iMac I cannot access.
Also, do I need to special CD/DVD external drive/burner to import music CD's into iTunes? I have tried and it keeps coming up with formatting problems.

I have an old imac ruby..What can I do with it?
I have an old imac ruby.. it's been sitting in my attic for years.. Would I be able to bust that out and get it working for my son? He's 5 and would mostly be using it for internet, and learning games, even videos if possible.. Or is that totally impossible? Is it possible to get it set up to work with fios internet? I'm thinking a resounding no, but not sure what to do with such a pretty retro piece of technology.. Any suggestions? If there is no use for it, are there any good ways to get rid of it?
The following are the specs written on the outside of the computer:
Model #- M 5521 DHHS Code: SA ruby 450MHZ 20GB HD/DVD/192 MB SDRAM MDM US EN KYBD/MAC OS
It also has an "ethernet" ID...I think you are a little pessemistic about this machine.
The best approach would be playing lots of games and running educational software.
With more workd and dollars...
You can get on the Internet with this machine will be slow with modern site, but will work find. Will not do video on the web.
You could max out the memory to 1gig. Could install 10.4 and use TenFourFox as your web browser.
Be sure to update the firmware before installing Mac OS X.
You could buy an external DVD drive. It needs to be firewire and bootable by Mac OS. If you have another PPC with firewire, you could try target Disk mode and installed tiger that way.
You need to figure out the level of your firmware before installing 10.2 or greater. ( The PC name for firmware is BIOS. ) Installing 10.2 with a down level firmware will most likely make your iMac unusable and difficult to fix.
What is Open Firmware?
The firmware on a PPC is called Open Firmware. Open Firmware software receives control when you poweron your machine. It does some hardware testing and some hardware configuration then passes control to your version of Mac OS. It reside on a PROM ( program read only memory ) chip on the logic board.
Figuring out what level of Open Firmware you have?
1) Mac OS 9.x or 8.x, you need to use the Apple System Profiler.

I have recently upgraded my iMac Intel G5 iSight (iMac5,1) to OS 10.6.8 and now the internal mic does not work with skype or facebook. I can here static when playing back clips. Do I need to update firmware or reload old system parts. I have zapped PRAM. The blue indicator in system audio panel will appear for a second as I slide the bar for internal mic but then it disappears. Is there a fix?
The sound seems very faint but can here static on playback.

How can i use my old iMac as a extended desktop display for my new iMac?
I recently purchased a 21.5 in iMac and wanted to use my old iMac as a extended desktop. My new iMac has thunderbolt and USB 3.0 connections while my old iMac has firewire (400 and 800), USB 2.0 and mini-DVI. Is this posible?
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
If your iMac has got Mini-DVI, you have a 17, 20 or 24-inch iMac that doesn't support Target Display. Late 2009 and Mid 2010 27-inch iMacs, and iMacs with Thunderbolt can be used as external displays. Read > http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11302?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
If your old iMac doesn't support Target Display mode, you can use ScreenRecycler to use your old iMac as an extended display for the new iMac. The only thing you need is that both Macs are connected to the same network -
I'd like to know how can i connect my old iMac tiger with new one iMac lion. I wanna use the old one for external disk to collect files from there to new one.
Hi mshields1162,
Great question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
First, you may want to choose to have the sidebar displayed for familiarity:
iTunes 11: Frequently used features
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5649
Afterwards, your device should be displayed if connected:
We'll want to click on it, and choose the Music tab at the top. Let's make sure "Sync Music" is checked:
Afterwards, you'll have the option to sync either the entire music library (for your first iPod), or "Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres" (for the secondary device). Upon selecting this option, four larger option boxes will appear allowing you to pick and choose what content will be synced. For audiobooks, you may need to do the above in the "Books" section. For a visual instruction on how to do this, see the following:
iTunes 10: Sync to your iPod
http://support.apple.com/kb/VI72
Thanks,

Can I hook up New Mac Mini to my old imac?
Can I hook up New Mac Mini to my old imac to share the display? I want to upgrade my iMac since I can not add more memories... but thought may be I can add New Mac Mini and use that along with my old iMac.. Will this work?
If your configuration supports Target Display mode, use that. If not, not without a standalone monitor and a product such as ScreenRecycler.
