E-mac (usb 2.0), will extreme airport card work?

Hi fellow discussionists,
I just purchased a second hand e-mac. When I type it's serial number into a website, it tells me it is a E-mac (usb 2.0) model. I found some documentation on Apple's website saying this is compatible with an 'extreme airport card'.
Before I log on to the apple store and order one, can anyone tell me if an extreme airport card will work with this model e-mac?
Thanks for your time!

My eMac is also eMac (USB 2.0). I purchased an Airport Extreme card and inserted it into the computer, then tried to run the install disk. But I get a message telling me that I "cannot install Aiport on this volume. My software is currently up to date." What's the problem? It says I must have OS X v10.3 or later and I have 10.4.11. Yet My base light is solid orange and I am at a loss.
Thanks.
Nick

  • Will this airport card work in my G5?

  • Will this SCSI card work in a 2009 Mac Pro?

    Thanks for your help.

    ATTO does make a PCI-e SCSI card. But it is this (much more expensive) high performance card:

    Spending $US500 to run anything but a High-performace Hard drive or Array makes no sense. If you have ONE modest speed device to run, look into the Ratoc Firewire to SCSI adapter:

  • Which airport cards work in Europe?

    Does anyone know of which 802.11b original Airport Card works in Europe and which don't? I heard from a friend that there are some airport cards that do not work oversees. How can I identity the regional propensities of the card?
    Any help would be appreciated!
    Powerbook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    The original AirPort cards, for the North American market, support only radio channels 1 - 11, and NOT the European channels 12 & 13. You could still connect to any European Wi-Fis that operate within the 1 - 11 channels, but not "see" those operating above that. If you need to connect to those additional channels, you would need to acquire a European version, if still available, from the third-party vendor.

  • [GeForce 6] will this 8x card work on my 4x agp slot

    I j upgraded from a fx 5900xt and  I just purchased a msi nx6600gt-vid128 card( agp) .  I have a p4 2.2 , 1gig rd ram and a 400 front side bus (p4 lexington motherboard). I have 2 questions
    1) will this 8x card work okay on my 4x agp slot.  The packaging says that the card requires a 8x  compliant  mainboard, but tech support say they are backward compitable to 4x agp slot.  tOon newegg.com  where i bought it is says it is a 4x/8x card. I am confused .  my fx5900xt was a 8x card and worked on my 4x slot.
    2)Is driver 71.89 okay to use with this card.  I heard 77.72 has problems. what about 77.50 or 77.77 drivers

    any agp x 4 board should be fine
    just it will run a percent or so slower than in a x8 board
    all you need to do with 77.72 is go in drivers
    colour correction
    3 boxes alter to
    all
    all channels
    advanced mode
    and hit apply

  • Airport Extreme & Airport Card Compatibility

    I have a G5 1.8 dual running 10.4.7 and a G4 450 dual running 10.4.7. If I purchase the Airport Extreme & hook it up directly to my G5, and the Airport Card for the G4, will everything work or are there some compatability issues?
    Thanks, Gronky
    G5 1.8 dual   Mac OS X (10.4.7)   G4 450 dual OS X (10.4.7)

    if you set the base station in compatability mode (so it supports both b and g operation) then it will support connections from the older 802.11b airport card as well as from more modern airport extreme and equivalent 802.11g cards

  • Airport card works in 10.1, HW test passes, but not detected at all in 10.4

    Ok, Hi. I'll first admit this is my first post so go easy on me!
    I just bought a used iBook G3 and it was working fine for a while until about a month ago when all kinds of weird things stared happening. Some of which those problems I solved from reading previous topics from these forums - but anyways, I'll skip all my other problems and get right to my current one.
    First off here is the complete specs:
    12.1" iBook G3 "dual USB series"
    500MHz PPC processor
    128+256MB ram = 384MB RAM
    15GB hard drive (NOW 160GB HARD DRIVE!)
    No Airport Card (NOW ONE HAS BEEN ADDED!)
    Multiple OS's - OS9 and 10.1 were included (have original disks)
    I also have a set of 10.4 Tiger CD-ROM disks
    Anyways, here is basically what is happening. I bought an Airport card off eBay for my iBook. I installed it about a week ago. I booted into 10.4 Tiger and it did not detect the card. Tried to do the manual setup with the wizard and it said there was no card attached. I went into the system profiler and is said No info available under the airport section. I then booted to my "apple hardware test disk" and ran the full/extended test. It passed everything (including the Airport card) so I know that is not the problem. I then booted into OS X 10.1 and lone behold the card is detected and is working without any fooling around with! Instant wireless internet! So I know that the card is working, but I want to use it in Tiger as 10.1 is almost worthless. So I boot into Tiger again knowing that the card is working, and Tiger still does not recognize it! I even booted into OS 9 and it detected the card (although it was having some connection problems, but at least I know that it IS detecting it.)
    Here is what I tried (so you can cross these suggestions off your list! lol)
    I've deleted the Airport "ktext" files, etc. (can't remember the actual names of the files, but I've cleared all of those caches and still no luck.)
    I've zapped PRAM
    I rest NVRAM
    I rest the PMU.
    I did a Arcive and install of 10.4
    ...All of which did not help. Again, the card worked in 10.1, but 10.4 is completely blind and can't find it!
    Now we are caught up to today. I was having many other odd problems and it all lead to my hard drive probably being bad. So toady I finally bit the bullet and bought a new hard drive from Best Buy. It took me forever to install it, but I did it, and it works! Now I have 160GB (make that only 128GB detected) of space. I partitioned it 4 ways as well:
    "Tiger" - 80GB
    "Other OS" - 30GB
    "Extra Space 1" - 10GB
    "Extra Space 2" - 8GB
    xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx- 128GB Total
    So now that I have a new hard drive (that I was told would fix all of my problems because my old one was "bad" I thought I would have it working today, but no. So I put in the brand new drive, partitioned it, booted off my Tiger disk, installed it on the 80GB partition. The install went fine. So I now have 10.4 on the new drive. Seems to be a lot faster then my old drive! I did the combo updater (which I downloaded on my iMac and transfered to a flash drive and loaded on to my iBook) Ran the updater, and now it is running 10.4.11! But then I realized, the Airport card is STILL not detected in Tiger!!! - I thought the new hard drive would solve all my problems as I was staring from scratch, but no, there is still a problem!
    I ran the Apple hardware test disk again, full test, and it said my Airport card is still fine. I didn't reinstall 10.1 yet (nor did I want to, I was hoping Tiger would work for what I wanted) but it seems now that I might have to go back and install 10.1 again. I don't know what it will prove - other then it will work again, but I don't want to use 10.1 so I'm not going to bother doing all that again.
    Anyways, after looking into this further, I brought up the system boot log (of tiger) and found these lines interesting, and hopefully useful to you guys:
    localhost kernel[0]: AirPortFirmware: start Sta f/w download
    localhost kernel[0]: AirPortDriver: F/W download failed
    localhost kernel[0]: AirPortFirmware: start Sta f/w download
    localhost DirectoryService[64]: Lunched version 1.8 (v346)
    localhost kernel[0]: AirPortDriver: F/W download failed
    it then lists the eithernet address and then ramblers on about other nonsense. If anyone needs the other "stuff" i'll try and save the whole log file and attach it here if anyone needs it.
    So could anyone please help? It seems as if i've done everything, and still can not get an answer on why it is doing this, and how to fix it!
    Please Help!
    Thanks you so much, and sorry for the long yet detailed message!!!

    Hey, just wanted to post an update to let everyone know what I ended up doing.
    Bottom line with the airport card I had is that is was "bad" - well only kind of. I got an email from a guy from a local PC repair shop. He told me he had just gotten one of those cards in and had it for sale for only $25. So I was chatting with this guy and he said it would be alright if I brought my iBook right in his shop, swap the cards and try it before I buy it. So I did so. Very nice guy and we swapped out the cards no problem. Right away it recognized his card and worked! I then downloaded the Airport update and ran it. (remember before, when I tried to update my card, after it restarted it was no longer recognized.) So we did the update with HIS card in and after it restarted, it STILL worked! It also added WPA support as well! We then booted into to Tiger (remember the old card wasn't recognized at all in tiger) and it ALSO worked in Tiger! I also had WPA support right away! So I bought the card and was all happy that it was all working again! I then figured out what the problem was with the old one.
    My original card was one of the "original" originals. Then, Apple "changed" the original cards and replaced ones with "128bit" support. (this is all before the extreme cards) I then found out that the newer original cards (the one the guy just sold me) are worth MORE because these are the cards that are compatible with the newer update (128bit WEP, and WPA) The cards looked exactly the same, but the newer card has "128 Bit" printed on the bottom of the card.
    SO, it ended up, I was "asking too much" out of the card I had - as the card I had did not support what I was trying for it to do. Where as the newer card I bought IS compatible with the update, and worked like a piece of cake. So all in all, the first card I had isn't "dead" it just wasn't working with what I wanted it to. So I'm going to end up selling it. Hopefully craigslist, but I will get more for it on eBay. so that is what I'm going to do. I'll just make sure to tell people this "story" so they don't try and do the same thing I did. But for someone with an even older laptop, an older OS, or an older router, this card will work just fine for them.
    So thats basically it! Looks like I got everything working!

  • Will this wireless card work with my g4?

    hi, I've been trying to find a good deal on a wireless card for my g4.
    but i don't know a lot about this sort of stuff, so could you tell me if this will work?
    thanks!

    Hi there!
    You need to be sure that this card supports the broadcomm chipset, as this will allow the card to be recognized as an airport extreme device, otherwise you might have to hunt for a compatible driver for the mac.
    You are better off with the G+ card from Belkin. The model of my card is a Belkin F5D7001 with the broadcomm chipset. You might have to do an in depth search to make sure that you find the right one.

  • Will this wireless card work with my G4 MDD?

    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/AIRPORT-EXTREME-PCI-54M-WIFI-CARD-APPLE-POWERMAC-G3-G4W0QQitemZ150389507387QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Computing_Apple_Mac_Accessories?hash= item2303e9c53b#ht_1245wt941
    Thanks in advance

    There are two cards intended for the Airport slot on two different G4 MDD models, and they are not interchangeable -- the two types of slots are different.
    Earlier model G4 MDD may only have the Airport slot that accepts the Original (802.11b 11 Mb/sec) Airport card. Later ones have the Airport slot for the Airport Extreme card.
    But the card you cited is not an Airport-slot card at all, but a PCI slot card, so is not subject to this slot limitation. But it may have System requirements, such as Mac OS X 10.3 or later

  • Can my G4 Airport card work in my G5?

    I now have a G5 (Dual 1.8 GHz PowerPC G5 [3.0]/PowerMac7,3). I have an airport card in my old G4 (PowerPC G4 [3.3] PowerMac3,6). Can I use the airport card from the G4 in my G5?
    Thanks

    Hi-
    If the G4 is a FW800 Mirror Drive Door machine, then the Airport Extreme card is compatible in the G5.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3024
    All other G4's used the regular Airport card, which will not work in the G5.

  • Airport card working but can't connect to internet

    hi all,
    airport card (just plain airport card) is working and is connected to a verizon fios router. signal very strong. just can't connect to internet via safari, camino or firefox. running 10.3.9 os. i've rebooted twice to no avail.
    altho, i can connect on my g4 powerbook using the same router.
    why isn't the g4 flat panel imac connecting? any ideas?

    In the Network system preference panel, is the wireless component
    selected and in the list of items in the configuration the Mac sees?
    You can drag the item(s) into preferred order of use, if there is more
    than one, ie: dialup modem, ethernet connection, airport base.
    If both computers have a similar operating system, it may be an
    idea to look carefully into each, and not change anything in the
    one which appears to work correctly; to look for differences.
    Does the wireless router provide support for 802.11/b as well
    as wi-fi 802.11/g? The older airport card runs on the older spec.

  • Airport Card works Apps Do Not on Emac

    I have an old emac that I still like to use for certain work on the internet.
    I installed an Airport card that accesses the Uverse wireless signal fine, but then my applications will not access the internet.
    Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

    G'day,
    If you open the Network control panel, what does it say?
    Have you tried restarting the computer? Restart the wireless router?
    Cheers
