Help! Will airport work with my laptop

My laptop is Powerbook G3 233 MHZ M4753 it has the system files from the airport card. But everytime I search on ebay for one they all look like the wrong one

Karl,
Possibly we do not have enough information. When you say it will not fit, are you referring to the PCMCIA card slot on the left edge of the powerbook? If you have tried to push a PC card into the slot and it does not slide in, possibly the card slot is locked...this can happen.
Open a paperclip and push it into the little hole next to the slot (the slot has a spring-loaded cover). If you push firmly enough, you will hear the lock disengage IF it is locked. Inserting a PC card requires extra effort as you reach the locking mechanism; you may want to hold the opposite end of the powerbook as you push the card in...you will hear it lock.

  • Voyager Legend will not work with my laptop

    I have an HP Pavilion dv6-3120us Entertainment Notebook PC with Windows 7(64-bit). I recently purchased a new bluetooth headset and am unable to get it to work with my laptop. The Previous headset was a Plantronics Voyager Pro which worked great with my laptop, all I had to do was pair it and that was that. My new headset is the Plantronics Voyager Legend and after pairing, it starts installing drivers and all but one are fine. 
            Bluetooth AV                                               Ready to use
            Bluetooth Remote Control                       Ready to use
            Bluetooth AV Remote Control Target   Ready to use
            Bluetooth Peripheral Device                   No Driver Found
            Bluetooth Hands-free                               Ready to use
    I've uninstalled, reinstalled several times and it didn't help, It shows that the device is paired, but doesn't reroute audio to the headset or the microphone. It shows in audio devices but says disconnected, when I click on 'connect', nothing happens and 'set as default' is grayed out and I cannot select it. I know that there is a separate bluetooth USB adapter available, but I'm using the headset mostly for my phone (which works fine) and occasionally my laptop so I don't really want to purchase it. I've already contacted Plantronics about the issue and this was their response:
    "Thank you for contacting Plantronics Technical Support.
    If you are using built in blue tooth and not our blue tooth USB adapter unfortunately we cannot assist you with your built in blue tooth, Plantronics does not supply drivers, here is our statement with regards to using built in blue tooth:
    If you are pairing the headset directly to your computer, the drivers that are required are for your computer's internal Bluetooth adapter. You will need the drivers supplied by your computer's manufacturer in order for you to use your Bluetooth headset as an audio device.
    Different computer manufacturers and computer models will use different internal Bluetooth adapters, so you'll have to contact your computer manufacturer to get those drivers. Most major computer manufacturers have a "Drivers" or "Drivers and Downloads" page on their web site in which you can enter your computer model in order to retrieve available drivers. You can typically find the Bluetooth drivers under the "Network" category. "
    I've checked for bluetooth driver updates and it says that none are available, I've also uninstalled and reinstalled the bluetooth drivers from the laptop. Sorry that this is a short novel, but I wanted to make sure to give all available details, any help or advice would be welcome. Thank you in advance.

    Hi Nt_winters,
    Thank you for all the information, it is very useful. I understand you are having an issue with HP Pavilion dv6-3120us Notebook with Windows 7 and your new Plantronics Voyager Legend. In the device manager are all unknown devices removed as well as the Bluetooth devices for the headset? Broadcom is recommended for Plantronics Voyager Legend headsets. Here is a link to that driver.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks.

  • Will iTunes work with a laptop running windows 7 and 64bit?

    Trying to get a system started and I'm not sure if iTunes will work with a windows 7 laptop. It has 64 bit not 32.

    Yes, iTunes is compatible with 64-bit Windows 7 systems.

  • Will Airport work with Sprint Airave?

    I have read this will not work together. I think i need a new router, and want to switch to airport. But have heard that might not work with airave, which is crucial for my cell reception at home.

    I don't know, my AiRave has been crashing alot, and now the Airport Express is crashing at the same time.  Green light remains on, ID broadcast is interrupted.
    I don't know why.  Very frustrating.

  • Will Airport work with WildBlue?

    Will the Airport (any version) work with WildBlue satellite internet service? We have 2 Macs and 2 PCs in the house. Does each computer need the WildBlue software installed? Wireless is voodoo to me...

    They say it does. The Mac system requirement is basically Tiger or better. You do not need any client software installed.
    WildBlue FAQ
    They do say you are "required to have an up-to-date antivirus software installed on your PC". I would infer that statement applies to PCs and not Macs.
    I'd be interested to hear about your experience with Wildblue. I ruled out both Hugenet and WB some time ago due to lukewarm user reviews. I concluded dialup is cheaper and more reliable.

  • Will AirPort work with my current wireless router?

    I have a Linksys WRT54G wireless router. I'm thinking about getting two AirPort Expresses for AirTunes. But I wanna know that if I get one AirPort Express in my room with my stereo, and my wireless router to my computer with iTunes, if AirTunes will work. Has anyone tried this? Thanks!

    The answer is yes. Quoting the Airport Express FAQ:
    Question: If my computer is associated with a non-Apple wireless access point, can iTunes send an AirTunes stream to the AirPort Express?
    Answer: Yes, if AirPort Express has joined the network in client mode, or if it is connected via wire to a LAN port on the non-Apple wireless access point.

  • Will airport work with direct tv genie?

    I cannot get direct tv Genie to work wirelessly with my airport base station. Wireless works fine with macbook pro, ipad, and cell phone but not with direct tv genie.  Anybody have any ideas?

    No, not directly. If they offer an IOS app you may be able to use airplay to stream content

  • Will airport work with a simple USB wireless adapter?

    I'm considering setting my folks up with one or maybe two airports for wireless audio through their house. They don't have any wireless gear at the moment. Will it be ok to buy a cheap USB wireless adapter for their PC to transmit to the airports?
    I'm considering this one: http://www.ebuyer.com/product/107691
    My worry is that it might not send a strong enough signal. What do you reckon?
    thanks!

    I don't have first-hand knowledge of this particular USB wireless adapter, but it should be compatible with the AirPort base stations, as it is 802.11b/g-compliant and supports both WEP & WPA encryption.

  • I am getting a "connection timeout" message when trying to access my Airport Extreme with various laptops, Play Station 3 and Wii. My Airport Extreme is about a month old; it was working fine until about a week ago. C

    I am getting a "connection timeout" message when trying to access my Airport Extreme with various laptops, Play Station 3 and Wii. My Airport Extreme is about a month old; it was working fine until about a week ago. Suddenly, the "timeout" is not allowing me to connect to my wireless network.

    It could be that there's a new source of interference.
    Use the advice in the second message of this thread to investigate the signal and noise levels that each client sees:

    You need to install the Windows version.  The serial number for the Mac version should work with the Windows version.

  • I have a Sony Sa ns300, will it work with airport express to allow me to play iTunes in another room?

    Not from the iPad, but you can from a computer.

  • Time Machine will NOT work with Airport Disks!

    It looks like Time Machine will not work with Airport Disks after all. All references to Airport have been removed from the Time Machine page:
    http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/timemachine.html
    It also specifically says: "You can designate just about any HFS+ formatted FireWire or USB drive connected to a Mac as a Time Machine backup drive. Time Machine can also back up to another Mac running Leopard with Personal File Sharing, Leopard Server, or Xsan storage devices."
    Surely, they would have included the Airport Extreme Base Station in this list if it was supported.
    I really hope there will be another firmware update for the AEBS which will bring compatibility with Time Machine, because Time Machine was the only reason for me to buy an AEBS. (I only use it as a small backup server, I don't even have wireless networking enabled. There were other solutions, e.g. from Synology, which are faster and more reliable than AEBS disk sharing, but Synology stated their network drives would not be compatible with Time Machine.)

    Here's how you can potentially use your AirDisk with TimeMachine (beware that YMMV), but it should work as it works with every other "unsupported" device.
    1) Mount your AirDisk so it appears on your Mac
    2) Open Terminal.app
    3) change directories to the AirDisk's root folder located in "/Volumes"
    ie: cd "/Volumes/AirDisk Name"
    4) execute this command to "bless" the drive to be used with time machine:
    touch .com.apple.timemachine.supported
    5) Start TimeMachine and if all went well, it should recognize your AirDisk drive and use it for TM.
    This should also work on NFS shares, SMB shares, AFP shares, basically anything. It has worked up until the last developer seed, so unless they yanked this at the last minute, it should still work.
    Now, the reason why Apple removed this feature may be due to the unreliability of the AirDisk, so be cautious.

  • HT1338 what printer will be compatible with my laptop?

    Please help me on what printer will be compatible with my laptop?

    Most brands are currently compatible (HP, Canon, Epson). Depending on your needs, any model of those brands will work. If you have an iPhone, you may want to get a model that supports AirPrint so you can print from your iPhone. Which ever brand you like, go to their web site and review the models to see which one you want. Also, be sure what you choose supports WiFi so you can use it wirelessly.
