Can you open up an intel iMac

Since I can't find a way to permanently disable Airport I need to get the Airport card out of the computer. With the old G5 iMac this was easy but now there are some wierd screws on the bottom and I cannot find instructions anywhere on the apple site on how to open an Intel based iMac.
Help!
Intel iMac   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

well theres an easier way. first make him his own account then go to the application "internet connect" and turn off airport and turn of show airport in menu bar to. Then click get info on the internet connect icon form there go to owner ship and permisions. click the lock where it says system and make you the owner, it will ask you for a password enter it then change all the acsses and group accses to no accses then log back into you own accountt
remeber while doing this you must be in his account and as long as he does not know your password he wont be able to change it also use the parental controls to lock him out of the system prefs

  • Can you boot / run an Intel iMac from an external hard drive? Built-in drive is dead.

    Hello, Have a six? year old, 2.16 GHz Core 2 Duo iMac that has a dead internal HD. The drive has 16,000 hours on it (per SMART Utility) and no longer shows up on desktop. Disk Utility, Disk Warrior and SMART say it's toast. I'm backed up to Flash drives and Time Machine but need a month before I can get a new computer... Don't want to run this one off TM back-up. Question is, can I add an external drive, use TM to make it my start up drive until then... Thanks, dp

    Yes you can, you're going to install OSX on it (from the Snow Leopard disk) but it will work.

  • TS1587 how do you open  get into a imac intel

    how do you open  get into a imac intel

       Up through the 2011 iMacs, getting into the iMac and replacing things was difficult but not at all impossible for the average person. OWC has some great video tutorials on how to open and work on an iMac.  The 2012 iMac is considerably more difficult. Personally I would not hesitate to open a 2011 or earlier iMac if it was not under warranty. When mine is past warranty I may well replace the 256gb SSD with a larger one.  A 2012 is still under warranty and frankly, I'd buy Applecare and sell it before it ran out of warranty.  I got a 2011 refurb instead of buying a 2012.
       If you choose to get into an iMac, be sure you have the proper tools and static discharge issues all set before you start.

  • Can't open iTunes on new iMac

    After migrating all my documents from a ProMac to an iMac I can't open iTunes in new iMac.  "iTunes Library.itl cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes."  When I select "Download iTunes" I get "No Updates available" and an unknown error (-42408)

    Since it's brand new I'd call AppleCare and let them walk you through it. They will have you try things and you can give immediate feedback and they will take you to the next step. That would take us too long here. Apple's service is very good.

  • I can not open iCalendar on my iMac.

    I can not open iCalendar on my iMac.  Seems to be working fine on my iPhone and IPad.

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.

  • Can I boot up an intel imac running os lion from a snowleopard install disk so that I can run my old power pc software

    Can I boot up an intel imac running os lion from a snowleopard install disk so that I can run my old power pc software

    If the Snow Leopard install disk came with or otherwise is compatible with your iMac, you can boot from it, but that won't allow you to run software (other than the utilities that are part of the installation set). You will have to install Snow Leopard, either on a partition on the iMac's internal hard drive or on an external drive, before you will be able to run applications.

  • Can you open word doc. In pages? (Opening a doc. From the web) in the iPad or iPod tuch?

    Can you open word doc. In pages? (Opening a doc. From the web) in the iPad or iPod tuch?

    NH,
    This may seem a fine point, but iWork apps don't actually Open Office apps. They Import them. The reason I make this distinction for you is that when you view the result of the import, you may see some variations from what was in the Office document because of an imperfect translation, and when you make edits, you are editing an iWork document, not the original Office document.

  • Can you open with Pages documents that were created in a 2004 version of Microsoft word for Mac?

    Can you open in Pages documents that were created in a 2004 version of Microsoft Word for Mac?

    Pages '09 will open .doc files from Word 2004. The Mac OS is not what is in question. Pages '09 opens Word 2004 documents and if the same version of Pages will run in Lion and in Mountain Lion ..... Thats all that matters.
    I trust you were using MS Office 2004 and would now like to buy Pages?

  • Can you open freehand files in CS6?

    can you open freehand files in CS6? I have been using both illustrator & freehand for 15 years & have thousands of work files being freehand.
    It seems very disappointing to have to keep an old version of illustrator just to open these files. I also find it interesting that many of the key tools that freehand had over illustrator are not translated into the newer versions of illustrator. Something simple like you still can't have a unique picture bullet • before text in illustrator. In freehand you could cut & paste any graphic into the text you were designing.

    No. The conversion plugin didn't make it into CS6 so the last import function was CS5.5 
    It seems very disappointing to have to keep an old version of illustrator just to open these files.
    At this point, it is the only way to make your files convert into Illustrator although I've had some luck with exporting to EPS or (if your FH graphics are simple enough) save as AI format. Keep your eyes on this project however : http://www.stagestack.com/

    As a fellow FreeHand user, I couldn't agree more. Other users of both programs have said this endlessly over the years here. A litany of features are still m.i.a. since FHMX was acquired years ago... including inline graphics. It's almost comical.

  • Can you open a word document in pages 08

    Quick question however stupid it is
    can you open a word document from a pc in pages 08?
    sorry in advance if i have posted this in the wrong discussion area
    cheers
    Message was edited by: Lama323

    The answer is as above wrote yes. Does it do it perfectly, the answer is no. Opening a .doc/.docx in Pages'08 will generate a frame warning message I find. I find text and symbols are preserved well, but formatting is not perfect. An example of my own is in the screenshot below. Same page 28 on a .docx but formatting of the document is not exactly preserved as you can clearly see. Where preservation of formatting is critical Pages is good, but not perfect alternative to Word '08.

  • Can you open a Final Cut Pro project file (6.0.6) in Final Cut Express (v4)

    I am working on a project in Final Cut Pro (v 6.0.6) and I need to pass it off to a colleague who only has Final Cut Express (v 4). The media in the project is DVNTSC.
    I went to the Apple store at the Stonestown Mall in San Francisco today and they assured me that my colleague would be able to open my FCP project file in his FCE program... but I'm skeptical.
    Can you really open a FCP project file in FCE?
    Could somebody who has both confirm this for me?
    Thanks,
    Sam

    Under very rare circumstances can you open an FCP project in FCE. It almost never works and is not supported by Apple.
