Ethernet fried - will airport still work

I have my mother's "old" 17" FP iMac G4 that was the victim of a lightning surge through the cable modem. She took it in and had it diagnosed and was told that the ethernet port was not working and to fix it, the logic board would need to be replaced. I have had it for several months now and it seems fine except for the ethernet port. It has had no freeze-ups, or strange behavior, and is always on and heavily used.
Would I still be able to use an AirPort Extreme card in this computer? Or, would that be tied somehow to what was damaged?
Thanks in advance.

I can't answer your question regarding the Airport Extreme Card, but I had this same thing with lightning happen to my Ethernet Port. I didn't really want spend the money to have the Logic Board replaced. I did a little research and found an external ethernet device which seems to be working. My problem was that I had OS 9 and could not find one compatible, until I located this company on the internet. BPI Broadband Poducts. Their website is www.broadbandproducts.com. They were extremely helpful. They are really a wholesaler, but sent me the product anyway. The part number was: BUE1U USB to 10/100 Fast Ethenet Adapter. Hope this information helps you or someone who else who had a close encounter with lightning.

Will airport express work with 3G wirelessly without access to Y Fi connection ? (usinmg an iPad )

I do not have wi Fi at work. Will airport express work with just the 3G on my Ipad2?

In addition to Keith's comments, if you are asking if the iPad can configure an Apple router like the AirPort Express, the answer would be yes, if you download and install AirPort Utility from the App Store. It's free.
I'm assuming that you have a newer version of the Express. Check the Model No on the side of the device. It needs to be A1264.

if you do not have an Ethernet Internet connection to connect to the Ethernet port on the Express, you can still use the Express to "Create a wireless network", but of course devices will not be able to connect to the Internet. The Express will complain, but you can ignore the error messages.
If your printer is wireless, hopefully it is an AirPrint compatible printer. Then you would be able to print from the iPad. Check this Apple Support document for information about compatible printers. There might be other applications that would allow this as well. Check Keith's post for that info.

I'm still not clear on exactly what you are trying to do, and devices that you have, so if you can state your goals again....we can make sure that we are not missing something.

I bought Adobe Acrobat 7.0 professional a few years before, Will it still work? I have the serial number and CD.
Or do I have to pay monthly subscription to convert pdf to word, to use pdf reader etc?

You may or may not be able to install Acrobat 7.0 on a modern operating system.
Also, you can no longer activate Acrobat 7.0 with your original serial number; you need to download the installer and get a special serial number from this website https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/creative-suite-2-activation-end-life.ht ml

Thanks.

There is no such thing as Windows for Mac. Windows is Windows and you can install it on a Windows computer or on an Apple computer. Once installed it will work until you remove it.

Will my iphone 5 still work if I unregister it with Apple and will iMessage still work without it being registered?

Can anyone out there help me. If I unregister my iphone 5 will it still work and will it still be able to receive and send iMessages? Will this mess up iTunes?

If you turn off iMessage, then you can't send or receive iMessages... in case that wasn't apparent.
The problem is the android users who did not turn off iMessage on their iPhones before they switched to something else. They need to fix that. If they don't, then your only option is to turn off iMessage or forcibly send the messages as SMS messages.

Will mail still work on my power mac G5 after icloud?

I have an intel macbook pro that I suppose I need to upgrade so I can use icloud. But will mail still work on my Power Mac G5 that can not be upgraded past Leopard?

You should be able to enter the email server settings manually:
http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudmail.html
This page assumes Snow Leopard: probably Leopard, where Mail is similar, should work but I can't confirm it. The key item is the ability to use SSL, which MobileMe doesn't.

I have an older Hitachi widescreen 1080p TV that has a DVI input, no HDMI input. Is there an adapter and if so will it still work?

I have an older Hitachi widescreen 1080p TV that has a DVI input, no HDMI input. Is there an adapter and if so will it still work?

As HDMI is the only supported method there will no guarantee with any converter.
DVI doesn't tranfer audio so you would have to either go through optical to connect speakers, or use a DAC in connection with analogue speakers.
Also, unless the TV is HDCP compliant you will be unable to play protected content (ie iTunes, Netflix)

Upgrade CS4 to CS5 - Will CS4 Still Work?

I have CS4 Web Premium on a Windows Vista X64 machine. I have downloaded trial of CS5 Web Premium and everything seems to work fine (i.e. both versions are running on this computer and seem to work fine).
My question is: If I upgrade to CS5, will CS4 still work?
The main reason I ask is that I have onOne software Plug-in suite 4.5 running on Photoshop CS4. onOne is charging $149 to upgrade to a version that works on CS5. I still want to be able to use onOne, but, at this point, not enough to pay their upgrade price.
I appreciate anyone that can offer some input.
Thanks, Wayne

Bob,
I guess my real question was what would happen to CS4 when I activated CS5. Considering the licensing practices of software companies today, I wasn't sure. Thanks for clearing that up for me.

If I buy a Iphone5 in the UK, (unlocked) will it still work in Colombia?

Hi, can anybody help me?
If I buy a Iphone5 in the UK, (unlocked) will it still work in Colombia on their local networks?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Well, in that case you will need to get it unlocked in Colombia, and most carriers will NOT unlock until after you have fullfilled your obligations (ie length of contract etc). Check with the carriers to see what their unlocking policies are.
If you plan to go to the UK quite often, then buying ther unlocked UK phone might be an option, even if you ignore the fact that if you need service, you will need to go to the UK to get it serviced. And then there is the issue of LTE. So far no carrier in Latin America (except TelCel in Mexico) offers LTE.

If i buy an iPhone in the USA will it still work when i move to Canada?, If i buy an iPhone in the USA will it still work when i move to Canada?

If i buy an iphone in the USA will it still work when i move back to Canada?

You would probably want to look at a factory unlocked iPhone so you do not have to use a contract with a US carrier. And look at the network standards being used, in the US iPhones are CDMA (verizon and Sprint) and GSM (AT&T). What are the carriers in Canada using? If majority, or the carrier in your location are GSM then you should look at the GSM iPhone. Also check warranty and applicability in Canada...iPhone warranties are supposed to be valid only in the country of purchase.
AppleCare+ is available in the US and Canada but, again, be sure you can transfer the coverage to Canada.

How do I get water out my laptop? And will it still work?

How do I get water out of my Mac book and will it still work?

You can't and it won't, it's done for.
Take the hard drive out, use a SATA to USB adapter cable and install MacDrive in Windows to read files or use Migration Assistance on your new Mac to transfer apps and files over.
