Help sarah get some internet!

I just bought an old 540mh MacG4 that runs on OS10.3.9. It's definitely a refreshing change from Windows, but I don't have built in wireless. I really don't know much about computers, so I've been having difficulty figuring out what wireless card will work. I already have wireless in my house. Also, I'm a student, so I don't have much cash money.
If anyone can shed some light on this, I would really appreciate it. I need help!
Sarah

Hi Sarah,
Welcome to the Discussions.
For about $50 you can get a PCI wireless card (installs in an empty PCI slot inside...easy). You don't want an USB adapter. They can be troublesome.

  • Who can I contact about getting some help with this ongoing (several months) issue???

    I will try to make a long story at least somewhat shorter.Comcast customer for 20 years (yes - literally 20 uninterrupted years). 8 years of service at current address.Several months ago I restructure my bill - all my promotions etc had run out and I wanted to reduce my bill.  Ended up being told my customer support that I could save money by getting the "Triple Play" (I've NEVER had comcast phone service, I have my own VOIP phone solution).  They told me I didn't have to "use" the phone, just getting it hooked up would save me money.  Fine.Internet service was not supposed to have been touched / changed at all. A few days after making these changes, a large box from Comcast shows up at the house.  It has TWO cable modems in the box.  Not sure why they sent them - I already had the latest cable modem (that was capable of supporting the phone service they needed to activate). Notified comcast about the shipment.  They said don't worry about it.  Okay, I left them in the box. Tech shows up at house while I'm working.  Wife called and I talked to tech. He said he just needed to get some "numbers" off the modem to activate the phone service (I'm in the IT industry - I will assume he wanted MAC / SN#'s).  I made sure he was making no changes to the modem itself - I've got my own home network setup.  The Comcast cable modem serves as a gateway and it's in bridged mode.  Always has been. I have my own router etc. So a week or so after that visit, the modem started losing connectivity.  It happens almost EVERY DAY and it's almost always in the later afternoon (5:30-7pm EST) and sometimes late at night.  When this happens, the ONLY way to get the connection back is to unplug modem power AND the coax cable input.  It will then restart the modem and it comes back.  Simply unplugging power and restarting will not do it. After multiple hours spent with support on the phone (we activated the newest modem they sent - same issue.  Activated the other modem they sent - same issue.  In fact they weren't able to put one of them in bridged mode at all). They said a tech needed to come out. Tech comes out - checks the feed to the house.  Said there is a lot of noise in the lines.  (Please note that there is one main comcast feed to my house - it splits outside (in the comcast locked box) into two feeds which enter the house. One feed splits and runs the upstairs TV's (Digital Adapters) and the downstairs STB / DVR.  The other feed goes DIRECTLY to my cable modem. I ran those feeds myself when I moved in this house.  Never had an issue before. Cable TV never has issue - only internet.   So the tech replaced some ends on the upstairs line (Cable TV - he said that signal noise could cause issues with the internet).  I then helped the tech run a BRAND NEW line from the split at the comcast box, directly to the modem.  He said the signal / noise looked much better. Next day - same ISSUE - modem dropped connection.  Pull power and coax cable, reseat, modem restarts, signal comes back. I called support again.  They gave me an incident #.  Said they would have a "Crew supervisor" contact me, since it's obvious the problem lies outside of my home. A tech called and left a voice mail on my phone (was working when it came in, couldn't answer).  They did not leave a call back number. Called support again.  They told me a tech would call me back and was advised to leave a call back number.  That was MONDAY of last week.  Haven't heard anything.  The contact # is my cell...no missed calls. Is there another number I can call or email address so I can escalate this issue?  Having to disconnect / reconnect the modem EVERY DAY at least once is getting tiresome.   I'm in the Richmond Virginia area if it matters at all. Thanks.

    Teltra could help me as they can't fix it and asked me to contact apple. The mobile device is working on all other computer (windows) but not Mac Pro
    Thank you in advance

    By contact Apple they mean AppleCare over the phone. This is the user forums, so no one from Apple will be able to assist you. AppleCare's phone number is (800)-APL-CARE (800-275-2273) for the United States.

    You have posted to the iTunes Match forum, which your question does not seem to be related to. Is your question concerning iTunes Match or syncing with iTunes via USB?

  • I'm having trouble loading photos on my I phone 4s and I pod.  I don't see the photos tab in Itunes?? Prob user error but wanted to get some help.

    I'm having trouble loading photos on my I phone 4s and I pod.  I don't see the photos tab in I-tunes? I'm sure its user error but wanted to get some help.

    What's the origin of this external drive? It sounds very much like it's a Windows-formatted (NTFS) drive which Macs can't write to. If you can, copy the files off the drive, reformat it as Mac format (using Disk Utility) and copy the files back. If you need to continue writing to it from a Windows PC, you should format it ExFAT in Disk Utility.

  • I've twice tried to use iTunes match. It stalls in step 2. I've rebooted my Mac computer and still stalls. Apple's taken the $25 but not delivered the service. Can I get some personal help?

    I've twice tried to use iTunes match. It stalls in step 2. I've rebooted my iMac computer and it still stalls. Apple's taken the $25 but not delivered the service. Can I get some personal help? There are 12,733 songs, a few dozen of which are not going to be in the Apple music library because they are unique to my collection. Also, some titled "Track XX" and no artist. I assume these would either not upload or else just be uploaded. But, after an overnight of step 2, the iTunes match program was still on song number 7384 or 12733 (it was on that number for over 12 hours). Looking in the music library, activating the iCloud icon and status fields, there were hundreds of songs with the status "waiting."

    Kernel panics:
    After taking my late 2009 15 inch macbook pro to the apple store, the genius completely erased my computer and reinstalled the Mac OS X software, but the problem still persists. 
    I also took it to my college tech support center, they tried to take the ram out and reinsert it and clean up the dust, but the problem still remains.
    I am able to use my computer in Safeboot mode (only)
    Well it could still be a software problem if you installed a third party program after the OS X wipe and install, because by booting into Safe Mode it disables certain functions of OS X and hardware. Check for updates or problems for all your third party software, include everything, including menulets, System Preference panes, hacks and so forth.
    If you restored any sort of software from backup like TimeMachine, it likely was corrupted data and now is returned.
    If the college tech support found a lot of dust clogging the rear exhaust vents behind the fans, then likely the heat damage done to the machine has already occured and can't be reversed. Video cards are usually first to go, which Safe Mode does disable the video card somewhat.
    Run through this list of fixes, it's systematic in nature, also has a Hardware Test to see what's going on
    ..Step by Step to fix your Mac
    Too bad this is occurring to a mere 4 year old machine, but dust will do that. Here is the culprit that Apple doesn't tell anyone about.

  • My friend wanted to get some of the music off my itunes. when syncing it needed to udate her phone which it did - now all her photos are gone. and the last back up was from when she used my itunes 6  ago. How can we get back her photos :(Please help

    My friend wanted to get some music off my itunes - when syncing it it said she had to update her phone software first - which it did. Now all her photos are gone. When we tried to restore the last back up - the only one was from when she used my itunes 6 months ago which was from her old iphone. So now it has put all her photos from her old phone onto her new iphone and deleted all the new ones. We cannot find her new photos. Please help and there was 100 new pics. Is there any way we can get them back. I already have the program Asoftech - but it doesnt seem to register the iphone only C and D drive. Please help!

    This is called "stealing". You do not have the legal right to give her the music you have in your iTunes library unless you are the copyright holder.
    when syncing it it said she had to update her phone software first
    That's not quite what it said.  Someone should have paid more attention to the great big warning about the possibility of losing data if the phone wasn't backed up.

    It restored the backup that was made on your computer 6 months ago, which did not contain those photos. You're wasting your time trying to find them on the phone. They don't exist.
    Hopefully, your friend syncs her phone to her own computer on a regular basis. She needs to plug her phone into her computer and restore it from her last backup. That will restore it to the state it was in when the backup was made.
    She also needs to get in the habit of extracting the photos on a regular basis, like she would from any other digital camera.

  • We need to get some help and explanations about iChat video not working.

    I've read so many postings about iChat Video hoping for an answer to my problem, but not only did I not find an answer, no one else has been receiving an answer either.
    I've had multiple problems with my ichat video not working.
    I either get an error saying someone didn't accept which isn't the case, or I get some error-8 or something ridiculous like that.
    Can we get some help from apple support or something?!

    Short answer: No, we can´t...!
    Apple don´t care about us users, unless you pay for an Apple Care Service. Try your best to follow some advices from around this forum. That´s the only help you will get.
    Some people have got their iChat video working again after following some advice. By the way. I´m not one of them... I´ve tried every single tip I read here, but I´m still stuck with text chat only...
    Good luck.

    Is this a POP account, or an IMAP account? Did you enable your account type in Gmail?
    You can verify whether or not you did (and enable it if you didn't) by logging into Gmail on the web. Then, open the 'Forwarding and POP/IMAP' tab on your 'Settings' page, and configure IMAP. After enabling IMAP in Gmail, make sure you click 'Save Changes' so Gmail can communicate with your mail client.
