Confusion about using non-Apple prod. on my powerbook with AE base station

I have a G5 and an base station. Always worked fine.
Then I wanted to add a USB wireless "card" to my powerbook 12 inch G4. The salesman said they are not well supported by Apple. So i found an IO DATA Ethernet Converter WN-G54/C which promises MAc compatibility.
Problem is the instruction book is Japanese only and I see no Eng one on the net. Probablty not released yet.
On the other hand, assume these all must work sort of the same.
Cannot get it to work, though it seems to recognize something.
Just to make sure..can I NOT connect to my Aiport base station with a mac connected via a product like this ethernet converter, which seems to allow such connections?
And do I just igore the IO data settings and try to configure it through the Airport application? It seems the airport connection is for apple cards to connect to apple or non apple networks.
But here i think I have to use the IO data ethernet converter application to connect to the apple or other networks?
Anyway, I JUST realized my Powerbook has an Apple airport card in it, as i tried to turn it on even without the IO data in,s o this is a mute point for now.
but if i ever need the IO data (it seems it may have a stronger ability to pull in the signal as it has a big antenna on it), i would like to undersatnd how it works.
Thanks!

No-one has any idea about this?

    Actually i am not sure i really understand your question because it seems to me that in your subject heading you are asking about " wav " files which are audio files but in your message you refer to playing those files via your midi keyboard which indicates you are trying to play " midi " files and not " audio " files.
    If you want to play a audio file:
    Create and audio track in a project and the import the "wav" file into that audio track and it should play as an audio file when hit the play button in the transport controls.
    Please clarify what type of file you want play using LExpress 9 to give us a better idea as to how to help you.

  • Can I use non-apple earphones with radio remote?

    I have a new Ipod 3g and want to buy the radio remote. Must I use the earbuds supplied with the radio remote or can I use non-apple earbuds and earphones? Will I still get good radio reception with a non-apple earphone?

    Yes you can. I use Sennheiser PX100's and they work just fine.
    Plug the headphones into the remote rather than the iPod to get the best reception.

  • In IOS 7.0.3, it no longer lets me use non-apple charging cords.  Did this happen to everyone?

    In IOS 7.0.3, it no longer lets me use non-apple charging cords.  Did this happen to everyone?

    The fix is to log into your current account. Go to appleid.apple.com and change the primary email and apple id back to the old email address (doesn't matter if you have it any longer). Once the change is made, then enter your password for that account on the device. Once you get in, go ahead and go back to appleid.apple.com and change it back. That fixed mine.
    need to edit this to clarify a bit

    He might be trying to do so to promote his products or may be there was some misunderstanding.

  • Using non apple cords??

    i recently sold my ipod on ebay in a working condition and now the buyer is saying it isnt working and wants a refund...she said she tried it on a couple different computers using different cords and docks...i heard that if you use non apple approved or apple cords or anything with the ipod it has a chance to malfunction...i need some proof so any help will be great thanks!

    i recently sold my ipod on ebay in a working condition
    You sold it without a cord?
    i heard that if you use non apple approved or apple cords or anything with the ipod it has a chance to malfunction
    It's an electronic device. It has a chance to malfunction simply by plugging it in.
    If the cord works, it works.
    Of course manufacturers always recommend you use their accessories but if an item is built to the manufacturers specs, it should work.
    You need "proof" of what?

  • Can I use the Apple ADC to DVI adapter with a VGA monitor?

    Hey everybody,
    I have a quick question. I work on computers fr friends and family as a hobby. I have an ADC monitor and need ot be able to hook up computers with a VGA port on them to it. Can I use the Apple ADC to DVI adapter along with an Apple DVI to VGA adapter to successfully connect VGA computers to my ADC display? I was assuming this would work and ordered both adapters but now I have made myself nervous about weather or not this will actually work. Has anybody out there successfully done this? Thanks for your help in advance everybody.

    You can't run an ADC display with a VGA computer without a converter. Adapters won't do it.
    a VGA to ADC converter will drive the ADC display directly
    <http://www.gefen.com/kvm/product.jsp?prod_id=1301>
    If you have the Apple DVI to ADC adapter
    <http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=18 72D402&nplm=M8661LL/B>
    you could use it with a VGA to DVI converter
    <http://www.gefen.com/kvm/product.jsp?prod_id=1310>
    It might be cheaper to get DVI graphics boards for the computers and use the Apple DVI to ADC adapter.

    Your title says "Can I use the Apple ADC to DVI adapter with a VGA monitor?". If you want to connect a VGA monitor to a computer's ADC port you need the ADC to VGA adapter
    <http://www.gefen.com/kvm/product.jsp?prod_id=1299> You can't use an ADC to DVI adapter followed by a DVI to VGA adapter, because the ADC to DVI adapter doesn't pass the analog video signals needed for VGA.

  • There is a lot of talk aout there about using a 27" iMac as a display with the mini displayport to displayport cable. It is so exciting! I am trying to connect a PC laptop with a VGA port to a 27" Dell Latitude D620?

    In 2010 there was a question about using a 27" iMac as a display with a Dell laptop.
    I am trying to connect a work Dell laptop Running Windows XP via a VGA cable to my personal iMac 27"
    running iMac 27", Mac OS X (10.6)
    Has anyone tried this or know if imac 27" Mini port with a VGA adapter can work?
    I apologize if I missed this discussion already
    Kind Regards
    Gilly

    Hi Gilly,
    I have no proof, but I think it will not work with an adapter, only Mini Display Port or Thunderbolt.

  • Can I use an apple keyboard and track pad with my iPad Air?

    How do I use my apple keyboard and track pad with my iPad Air?

    I did all that you suggest before and it didn't work.  So I waited a bit and tried again and it finally worked.  Not sure what the problem was as I didn't do anything differently.
    Thank you for all your help.

  • Confused about imessage and apple account

    So I just got my own icloud account. I used to share one with someone else but now I got my own. First, is the icloud account the same as apple account? Like is the apple store account the same as the icloud account?? Second, since I got this new account I started using it in imessage. But one problem is that it's not showing my phone number on the send and receive. But on the old account it does. Why is this? I'm super confused! What's the deal with all these accounts and it's relationship with imessage?
    i Have an iPhone 4S(ios 7), the newest ipod(ios 8) and an ipad air(ios 7)
    thank you

  • No longer able to use non-apple lightning to 30 pin adapter cable with IOS 8

    Do any of you use an Apple iDevice with a digital transport docking station to get your music from your device to your speakers using an external DAC?
    I have an Onkyo ND-S1 which was great when using my iPhone 4S plugged into the dock sending digital audio through to my active speakers with built in DAC….
    But since upgrading to an iPhone 6, running IOS 8.1.1 which has a lightning port, I purchased an aftermarket ‘lightning to 30-pin female adapter cable’ to continue using the dock with my new iPhone.
    It doesn’t work. The adapter is not approved by Apple and somehow they have managed to bork all non-apple cables, ie it won’t charge, it won’t send digital audio. It’s essentially useless. Now, this is a cable that was manufactured & marketed specifically to allow iDevices with a lightning port to connect to digital transport docks, and I believe that it used to work with IOS 7.x, but it appears that with the rollout of IOS 8.x, Apple has done something that renders all non-apple cables redundant.
    Apple sell their own £30 adapter cable, but that has its own DAC built in to the unit – now stupid question time: If I used one of these cables, would it (a) Do nothing, just like the non-apple cable, (b) Convert the audio to analogue, then send the converted audio to the speakers (by analogue cable only), resulting in a lower quality reproduction?  Or (c) Would it bypass the DAC in the cable and send the digital signal to the speakers?
    Does anybody have any experience of this?

    If the 3rd party adapter doesn't work it is because it is a counterfeit device The manufacturer has failed to licence the lightning technology from Apple ergo it does not work
    Of course the Applr product will work ,infact most of the copies in very very small prin tsay in advert it does not support sound intended for charging only

  • Use non Apple display

    It is possible to use a non Apple display or a regular computer monitor for the older black MacBook?

    Any display up to 1920 x 1200 will work. You will need a Mini-DVI to VGA adapter
    <http://store.apple.com/us/product/M9320G/A?fnode=MTY1NDA5OQ&mco=MjE0NTg3Ng>
    or a Mini-DVI to DVI adapter

  • Can't use non apple mouse with hard drive test?

    Having trouble reading an installation CD for a new scanner. Laptop with Tiger fine. Not iMac. So, was trying to run Hardware Test. Inserted disk, restarted with option key down. Image comes up. Can't select anything because Macally mouse won't work in harddrive test mode. Mouse plugged into port on back of computer, not in keyboard. Do I have to find the original apple mouse?
    Thanks for help! Judy

    It should work, I have a non-Apple mouse that I use for that and it works just fine. Perhaps Macally mouses require special software to run, maybe you should check their web site. I know my Wacom, what I usually use, is completely dead until my login window opens.
    So, yeah, I think you need to find the original Apple one.

  • Has anybody with experience using non apple camera kit

    I do not own ipad but intends to purchase one.
    I would wish a camera connection kit for iPad and am aware of one sold by Apple.
    I came across the following in Amazon:
    http://www.amazon.co.uk/connection-protectors-included--similar-MC531ZM/dp/B0040 FUOUM/ref=sr12?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1300954916&sr=1-2
    Does anybody have experience in using such similar non-Apple camera kit on an iPad?
    Regards

    The reviews state that the device doesn't work with iOS 4.2. So, I would guess it doesn't work and wouldn't buy it.
