Connecting LW4/600 PS to iMac G5.
Henry B:
I've read your response to L. Baran regarding using the LW.
I have two G5s. One the first version and the second on the iSight version and then there is a HP laptop. All are connected to the internet wirelessly via Airport Extreme station. I have a HP printer connected to the station and all computers can print wirelessly via the HP. I have a LW 4/600 just sitting there. If possible and from your response to Ms. Baran, it is possible, I want to use the LW so all of the computers can print wirelessly to it via the Airport Extreme station.
I have an Apple phone net connector. Can I plug one end into the plug on the printer and connect the other end with a phone line to the AE station hoping it will work. Or, do I have to buy some router that will connect the printer to AE station through the router. Asante has been mentioned numerous times. Use it as a connector between the printer and the AE station?
Any advice from anyone will be most appreciated.
The AsanteTalk is available used, and is still being sold new:

The Farallon EtherMac iPrint LT is no longer made, but is readily available on the used market. There are usually several on eBay. eBay prices are in the US$20 to $35 range, with occasional sales as high as $60 [but eBay sellers generally do not include a warranty or support]. Farallon company was acquired by proxim, but proxim is not working hard to support the Farallon products.
Your connection description is basically correct. But the LocalTalk cable uses only a 4 position connector and cable (rather than the 8-position Ethernet connectors and cables). Because it uses only a 4-position cable, a telephone lead-in cord (wall jack to telephone instrument) is the usual cable of choice. It is also important to note that phoneNet requires a cord or terminator in each phone jack. The phoneNet device at your printer likely has two 4-pin phone jacks, and the second jack should hold a phone-jack 120-Ohm terminator for proper operation.
This eBay item shows several PhoneNet devices, two of which are showing the phone-jack mounted terminator:

How to connect my iPhone to my iMac trough bluetooth?
How to connect my iPhone to my iMac trough bluetooth?
If you have a wifi router you can set up/turn on the wifi... set the user name and password wifi in your router... open wifi in general settings on the iPhone... log into your router, user name and password. (If your don't know how to turn on the router wifi. Google the router make and model and you will find instructions on how to do this.)
If you don't have a wifi router and your Mac has wifi capabilities you can hookup to the internet over wifi from your Mac to your iPhone.
System Preferences on the Mac... Network... Wifi... Advanced tab... Hit the '+' to add a user name and password...
Make sure you use WPA2 Personal for Security... Hit ok... Turn on the wifi... Same as above with the iPhone, log into your wifi settings on the iPhone.
*Important point... Use WPA2 for the encryption/Security setting. If you use anything else for this setting, your wifi can be hacked. -

I have an Airport Express that I am trying to use connected by ethernet to my iMac G4 running Mac OS 10.4.11. I need to update the Airport Express softwart in order to use security option WPA2 Personal to connect to the internet through my Airport Extreme. I currently have Airport Express software version 5.6.1. How can I update this software? (I can connect directly to my Airport Extreme by ethernet and download the update that way). Is a later version of A E software available for download anywhere? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.Download and install AirPort Utility 5.4.2 for Mac OS X 10.4.11 "Tiger" here:
AirPort Utility 5.4.2
Once installed, launch AirPort Utility. It will tell you if a firmware upgrade is available for your Express. -

My wireless keyboard no longer connects with my iMac since changing the batteries. It now shows as not connected, not paired and not configured. A friend recently connected his iPad to the iMac and since then the problem started. Any ideas to resolve this?
a friend told me that he wants my os x cd for my macbook pro to upgrade his imac.
The discs that come with your Mac are "machine specfic" and cannot be used on another Mac. -
Problem: slow connection. I have an iMac (2007) running on Mac OS X 10.6.8. I just had my internet speed increased from 1 to 3 Mbps but my connection slowed down considerably. Do I have to change any setting on the computer, and how?
One possibility is that you may need to "Upgrade" your Cable /DSL Modem if you have an older unit. ISP's that provide your Internet service in recent years have been switching over from DOCSIS 2.1 version Modems to DOCSIS 3.0 version Modems, which handle the new higher data streaming speeds the ISP's are offering. I would suggest you call your ISP's Technical Support and inquire about this possibility.

Connect PowerMac G4 to 27" iMac
I would like to connect my G4 to my iMac and use the iMac as a video source for both. How do I do this?
I decided to go another direction after reading in discussions the many problems associated with this endeavor. I kept my studio display, that I bought with the Power Mac G4, and plugged in to my router to complete the hookup with my iMac. Until there is an easier and more productive way to accomplish the original goal, I will keep this arrangement. Sorry I couldn't help. Good Luck!

HT1529 how could i connect a xbox 360 to imac monitor?
i would like to connect my xbox to my imac monitor to use it as a display.
In general you would unplug the monitor from the Mac Pro and then directly connect the monitor to the xBox 360 (with the correct adapter cable, depending on which version of the xBox 360 you have). However, if you don't have permission from the owner of the lab to be connecting and disconnecting cables you shouldn't be doing that. Buy a cheap 1080p TV and use your xBox 360 at home.

I connected my iPad to my iMac and in iTunes I went to Apps > File Sharing and added a video on my iMac to iPhoto on the iPad.
I cannot find the video that I added to the iPad. I looked in iPhoto and the camera roll. Any ideas? (BTW, this is a video which I previously had on the iPad but deleted and now I want to add it back.)Thanks for your reply. I looked in the Video app but it is empty. When I connect the iPad to iTunes on the iMac and look in Apps > File Sharing > iPhoto, the video that I added is in iPhoto on the iPad but I cannot actually find the video in iPhoto on the iPad.
