Getting started with this airport card

I have an ibook g3, so i bought an airport card to give me wireless access. i don't have a base. i planned on using the airport card to get wireless in coffee shops. Can i do that?
Also, i can't get my computer to recognize that an airport card is in it.
Please help!

Hi Pixi:
It appears as if you puchased the "Airport Extreme" card that may not be compatable with your older iBook. Since your iBook is an older model, you will need the original Aiport card that supports "802.11B" only. The new Airport Extreme cards are for the newer macs that support 802.11B/G
Here's a link to the card you probably need: http://www.powerbookmedic.com/Apple-Airport-Card-80211b-p-16144.html
Once properly configured, you will be able to connect to the wi-fi spots as long as they offer 802.11B service.

  • Getting started with Java and XML

    Hi,
    Although I am pretty familiar with Java, I am a total newbie with using it to parse XML. I have been reading quite a few tutorials so am getting a good understanding of it and am thinking of using the DOM model for my purposes.
    What I haven't been able to find, however, is how I can actually get started with this. I have tried compiling a few examples and have been getting errors such as:
    xmltest.java package javax.xml.parsers does not exist
    xmltest.java package org.w3c.dom does not existetc etc...
    It looks like these packages don't come with J2SE. Can anyone confirm this? Do I need to download and install the Java Web Services Developer Pack to solve this problem?
    Finally, I know I will need an XML parser but have read that JDK 1.4 has it's own parser (Crimson). Is this adequate for parsing XML files or will I also need a parser such as Xerces?
    Thanks so much for any help!

    Hi DrClap,
    Thanks for the reply. I have JDK 1.4.1_02 installed on my server but the following error keeps coming up when I try to run my example:
    Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/w3c/dom/NodeAre there any further packages I need to download in order to run Java with XML? I have read some people install JAXP and XERCES... are these necessary for parsing an XML document or should J2SE 1.4.1 be sufficient?
    Thanks for your help!

  • Getting started with 8i Lite Trial

    I have a copy of 8i Lite that I downloaded from the Oracle site and I have a few questions that I have not been able to answer in the documentation. I want to use this in conjunction with Codewarrior on a Palm platformave a Symbol 1740 Palm-based scanner. I am just getting started with this and want to get an understanding of how I can use this in batch and realtime environements.
    - Is there any way to run 8i Lite in a 'trial mode' on a Windows 98 PC without an existing Oracle 8 server?
    - Can I use iConnect with a 7.3 DB server used by Oracle Apps 10.7? I see where it is mentioned on the web where it will support this but in one of the doc files, it says iConnect only supports 8 and 8i.
    - Is there a sample DB included with the 8i Lite download that I can 'play' with?
    Please e-mail me at [email protected]

    Hi
    If I remember I think a lite database named POLITE is the default database and use iconnect to connect to it

  • I upgrade firefox from 7 to 8 and now when i start firefox everytime it opens "getting start with firefox" page, in options i select the option 'show a blank page" how can i resolve this issue?

    i upgrade firefox from version 7 to version 8, now when i start firefox everytime it open self the "getting start with firefox" website, in the options on firefox i select the 'show a blank page' but its not working. i am using firefox on windows XP- SP2.

    Try restarting Firefox, the one time page(s) after starting a new release should disappear. Actually this last time with 8.0 they did not come up for me.
    If that doesn't work then bring up '''about:config''' and place the url of the page into the filter. Right-click on anything that comes up and use "Reset".

  • I never used LabView but need to generate a RS-233 serial output string that contains an IRIG timestamp based on a contact closure. Is LabView an appropriate tool to do this? How much does it cost to get started with the product?

    I never used LabView but need to generate a RS-233 serial output string that contains an IRIG timestamp based on a contact closure. Is LabView an appropriate tool to do this? How much does it cost to get started with the product?

    Labview isn't cheap, but it would certainly allow you to build a program (set of vi's - virtual instruments) that would do what you describe. Where would the timecode information come from? Your vi, or program, would: Start up, initialize the serial port, loop until a trigger happened, read the timecode (from where?), output that timecode out the serial port in a loop until you pressed the stop button. There is a free evaluation of Labview software available from NI - the base product itself runs about $995.

  • Getting started with an iBook G3?

    Hey,
    I just got an iBook G3 (500mhz, snow, airport, 10gb hd, upgraded ram), to compliment my iMac (G5 rev c) and I'm a little new.
    It was used, I got it via trade.
    Does anyone have some tips for me to get started with it ? I'm wanting to upgrade the HD to at least 20 GB, and to max out the ram. Any hints on that ?
    Also, where can I get a new battery and charger ?
    Also, what else should I know about it ?
    It will mainly be used for writing (novel, fan-fics), surfing the web (wirelessly), and when I'm traveling...
    Oh, it has OSX10.2 installed.

    Hi, Josh. Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    How much RAM is installed?
    Does it have the original AirPort card installed? (You may want to install one, if not, to enable wireless access to the internet.)
    Did the original system CD's and the OS X 10.2 software CD's come with it? If not, try to get the person you got it from to give them to you. You will need them if you intend to upgrade the hard drive (and for maintenance, even if you don't upgrade the hard drive).

    Enough dual USB G3 iBooks suffered from a logic board problem that Apple began the iBook Logic Board Repair Extension Program in January of 2004. Check out the FAQ page and be aware of how this logic board problem manifests itself.
    It has been suggested that you can minimize the chance of a logic board failure of this sort by never picking it up by the front left corner alone. Pick it up with both hands or in the center under the trackpad.
    It's also a good idea not to close it any more often than you need to in order to minimize the chance of the backlight cable (and other cables and wires) becoming pinched in the hinge or broken. When you have some time, check out the Discussion thread in the Displays Forum entitled 90 degrees and black out!!!!

  • Problems with my airport card.

    Why do i get the message "No airport card installed" up on my Macbook pro when it from time to time finds it?
    And when i have it and turn it of i can't turn it on again.
    I have upgraded from OS X 10.6.8 to OS X 10.7.2, and i still have the problem. I got the OS X 10.6.4 install CD so now that i have installed Lion i cant use that Install CD anymore, so i cant reinstall the whole computer. With my present knowledge.
    But is it something i can do to fix this problem or do i need to send it in to get it repaired. Since it just started happening and it have been working perfectly the last year. My model is august 2010 (late 2010)

    It seems it won't be necessary -- this is beyond weird!
    I've just re-turned on my Mac (which I had already tried to do a couple of times before posting my question, even allowing some time for the computer to cool off and relax, but unsuccessfully) and the AirPort Card is working again...what the bloody hel*?! Hopefully it is going to keep behaving properly for good, now!
    Anyway, thank you so much for your help, I'll note down your suggestion in case it happens again in the future!
    Have a nice day

  • Need some info about getting started with the GE70 2PC Apache

    Hi guys!
    I'm about to getting the new GE70 2PC Apache gaming notebook from MSI and since I'm really putting alot of money in this I really wanna handle it gently :p So I got some questions about this, since It'll be the first time I'd but a gaming notebook.
    1) 1st of all, what do I do when I've first started the laptop? Do I place in the CD and install all the newest drivers from that CD? Afterwards install an anti virus and then I should be good to go?
    2) I heard the Haswell i7 processors from Intel produce a hell of a lot heat. When I turn on turbo fan and turbo boost and I reach temperatures of around 90°C, would it harm the hardware of my laptop? Could any damage take place? Or would my processor/graphic card have a shorter life expectancy?
    3) The graphic card would be the GTX 850m. Now I'm wondering, is on this particular laptop -> (MSI-ge70-2pc-019be-apache-azerty), is the graphic card the DDR3 version or the GDDR5 version? Because I heard even the GTX 765m can outperform the 850m DDR3. But I also heard that the GDDR5 version of this graphic card is noticeably better than the 765M graphic card.
    4)Is it wise to keep the processor going on turbo boost (3,4 Ghz) forever?
    5) Will I have internet problems? I heard alot of people having internet problems with the killer lan drivers lately..
    6) What laptop do you think I should pick in overall? The 2PC Apache version or the GE70 2OE version (the one without SSD) ?
    8) My Brother has the GE70 2OE which has the 765m graphics card, but he only has around 60 fps when he's playing League Of Legends, and LoL isn't the most demanding game right.. The FPS sometimes even drops to 40 (even when he's ALONE with no one around him). It feels like his FPS is capped at 60? Because most of the time it's just 60. But when I look at the settings I saw the FPS is uncapped.. I believe with this graphics card he must atleast achieve a constant 70-80 fps on this game right? Might something be wrong in the settings of the graphics card?
    7) Is there anything I should know before I start gaming on this laptop? (something I should do to have best performance or something..?)
    Grtz

    Well...
    1. When you get the laptop, use MSI Burn Recovery and make the backup disks (I prefer DVD's myself...). This way if something happens, you can reinstall all the software like you just bought it.
    2. Haswell does produce quite a bit of heat. As long as you don't get much higher than 90C you should be ok. If you're getting into the high 90's or even 100C range, you probably need to replace the heatsink compound. MSI has had a number of issues with that aspect on notebooks. It is easily done though.
    3. The only way to really answer that question is probably to contact MSI about it.  >>How to contact MSI.<<
    4. Turbo boost isn't really user controlled. I wouldn't worry about it.
    5. You might have issues. I'm honestly  not too sure. I know most people haven't had issues recently, but that's all relative. The drivers seem to be working rather well right now to be honest.
    6. Depends what you want and what is available. Maybe the GE70 20E + buy an SSD will be cheaper than just buying the Apache version. I don't really know, but you could always look into it.
    8. The 765M is a decent card....but remember, it's NOT the same as a 760 on a desktop. It's roughly equivalent to a 750 in the desktop world. That's not a bad card by any means, but you aren't going to be able to get 60+ FPS at 1920x1080 in many games. LOL is rather demanding as a game though to be perfectly honest. (throwing my personal opinion in on this, I always buy the highest end item I can in this case, because you won't be able to get any better really in the end until the next laptop comes out).
    7. I would setup all your games in the NVidia control panel to use the NVidia high performance graphics processor. That way there is no confusion and it will use the right video card.
    You don't really need to update drivers UNLESS you're having an issue (like BSoD's or game freezes or something similar).
    The MSI customer service in the EU really seems to be hit or miss. Some people seem to get good service, some people get really crappy service. I'm honestly not sure what the problem is over there. =/

  • Can not get example to work after following instructions given in "Getting Started with the NI LabVIEW C Generator" guide

    We explored using sbRIO for our project, for different reasons we ended up going with a different embedded solution . We are currently evaluating the LabVIEW C Generator to convert some of the core analysis routines from LabVIEW to C so the team that will be creating the embedded solution don't have to re-implement them from scratch. 
    Before converting our code, I followed the instructions given in the "Getting Started with the NI LabVIEW C Generator" manual to create a static library created inCygwin using GNU Compiler Collection (GCC). 
    I managed to compile the code, but when I type "run GCD.exe" in the Cygwin console, I just see the window flash with no time to see if the result is correct or not. I modified the main.c cde to add a getchar(), but the window still just flashes and now I am left with the GCD process still running and have to kill it using Windows Task Manager.
    Has anyone else got this example to run? I am sure I am missing an obvious setting or step, please help me.
    More details below.

    Hi Kevin,
    I hope you had a good Thanksgiving. I am attaching a zip file with the LabVIEW project, my build specification and my version of "Greatest Common Divisor.vi", which should be the same as the one that you have that ships with the LabVIEW C Generator, but just in case. I am also attaching a zip file with the C files generated by the LabVIEW C Generator.
    You can also see the video I posted earlier with the steps I followed. I hope you are able to point out where I went wrong.

  • Java Applet HelloWorld "Getting Started With Applets" example not working

    Hi there,
    It's been ages since I ran my Linux CentOS boot of Linux but I am going through the official oracle java applet tutorials, just every time I try and run the "Hello World" applet in Firefox 17.0.3 and I am running the Iced Tea thing for java applets.
    Every time I try and run the example from the following code:
    import javax.swing.JApplet;
    import javax.swing.SwingUtilities;
    import javax.swing.JLabel;
    public class HelloWorld extends JApplet
      // called when the user enters the html page:
      public void init() // keep apps within the init() function very small as per the http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/deployment/applet/appletMethods.html
        try{
          SwingUtilities.invokeAndWait(new Runnable()
            public void run()
           JLabel myLabel = new JLabel("Hello World");
           add(myLabel);
            } // end running the application
          }); //end of swing invokeand wait
        } catch (Exception error){ // end user running the app in page
           // System.err.println("GUI didn't work on initial run");
    }It keeps bringing up the error "Start: Applet not initialized" I did google that basic error and from what I found I should consult the JavaConsole, I know the console was removed from the Firefox menu quite a while ago. So went to find a way of loading it using the IcedTea one but it keeps bringing up a load of errors in even trying to run that.
    Is there anyway of sorting this out? I mean I have even tried installing the one on the oracle website, the plain JDK but nothing seems to work.
    Is there anyone that can help me get applets working? I was even going to go as far as to reinstall my distro but I want to avoid that as much as possible.
    Thanks and I look forward to any replies,
    Jeremy.

    in the Getting Started with Java DB tutorial they
    tell u how to set ur "DERBY_HOME" (what is that?).
    once i press enter after typing this command:
    set DERBY_HOME=D:\Java\Java
    Phonebook\javadb in my command prompt do i get
    any message or does it just go to the next line?type env or set or whatever in the command line to see what your environment variables are set to
    they also tell u how to set ur "JAVA_HOME" (what is
    that?). The Java installation you want to use
    in their example they give u this: set
    JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\j2se1.4.2_05but in my java folder i have jdk1.6.0 and jre1.6.0
    but no j2se1.4.2_05, so which 1 must i choose?It's up to you. I'd go with 1.6
    also once ive done this: set
    DERBY_HOME=D:\Java\Java Phonebook\javadb this

    Hi Christoph and WarriorAnt,
    Thank you both for the replies.
    I don't know anything about GarageBand because I've never used it. I've never used any music software before, (other than iTunes, Ha!)
    I don't have GarageBand on my Mac because it wasn't stock on the old Powerbook G4, so I would have to buy it. I'm happy to do that if I can figure out that it does what I want ... but I'm overwhelmed by the info at Apple's site. Too much for a beginner like me. Even the wikipedia.com entry for GB uses too many terms I don't know, so I'm easily lost.
    I just want to be able to set up drum loops and play along with them. The main thing is that I'm able to use third party loops. There are so many really amazing loop products out there ... jungle drums, acoustic jazz drums, lounge, etc. I don't want to get caught up in anything proprietary (like Band-In-A-Box) because the selection is limited. I'm sure GarageBands loops are great, but I want access to all these other third party loops as well ... loops that were not specifically made for GarageBand.
    Will GarageBand let me drop in any and all drum loops from these other companies?
    And does GarageBand work like a basic sequencer, where I can program up an intro, X number of measures of a loop, then a turnaround, then a variation loop, then an ending, etc?
    I know the high-end stuff like Native Instruments Kontakt does this, but unfortunately it also does a kazillion other professional-level things I will never need and don't want to pay for (and which make the software more complex and daunting).
    Thank you again, both of you, for responding and helping me with this project.
    Just a little more advice on those two questions would really go a long way.
    -JOHN
