How do I acces the Airport card on a new iBook 12"?

I have a 1.33Ghz 12" iBook G4. (The latest model.) Since the previous version Apple have changed the location of the AirPort Extreme card.
Previously it sat on top of the RAM slot. Adding RAM required the AirPort card to be removed. Now the RAM slot is accessible in its own covered slot in a similar location as before but the AirPort card is nowhere to be seen.
Any idea how I can access it?

I discovered that searching elsewhere since posting my question. It's a board rather than a card apparantly, like the Mac Mini.
I'd still like to know where it lurks though and how to get at it. I have a strong suspicion that it's playing up in my iBook. I've read various reports of incorrectly seated Airport cards causing kernel panics. I've spent the day working out that I have a very serious Airport problem. I have a sneaky suspicion that it's a badly connected or malfunctioning card/board.

You didn't load a gift card onto your phone. You loaded it to your iTunes account. Just make sure you use your existing apple id with the new phone. Don't create a new one.

How do I know which airport card to purchase for ibook 14.1 LCD 900 MHz

I just bought a used ibook for my son and he wants to connect to our home wireless network. I can't tell if I need an Airport card or an Airport Extreme card. Do I need the Airport base station or will the card enable it to connect to any wireless network/hotspot?
We have 3 desktops and been faithful Mac users since the the very first one but I've never had so much trouble even trying to figure out what model this laptop is!

I just bought a used ibook for my son and he wants to connect to our home wireless network. I can't tell if I need an Airport card or an Airport Extreme card.
Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu; if the computer has a G3 processor, it takes the AirPort card, while an iBook G4 takes the AirPort Extreme card.
Do I need the Airport base station or will the card enable it to connect to any wireless network/hotspot?
You can use any base station which supports the 802.11b or 802.11g protocols. An AirPort card cannot use 802.11g.

Looking to get a Mac Pro Refurb, How can I get the Airport card too?

I can't find an airport card available anywhere for the Mac Pro. The refurbs do not look like they come with one. I can't find it from apple or anyone else.
What's the deal, and what can be done?
Thanks a lot,
Mark

You can take it into an Apple Authorized Service Provider (AASP) or search on-line for places which offer the card.
One site is Fastmac.com.

MacBook 2008 wifi suddenly stopped working and says no wifi hardware. Took it to an apple shop, they said it could be the airport card but wouldn't do anymore then that. Any help on how to fix this? How do I know if it is the airport card or not?

If the technician at the shop is competent, he has given you a diagnosis that should have identified the problem. You could run the Apple Hardware Test to verify the findings:
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201257
Note the Apple Hardware Test is not definitive.
Go to the iFixit.com and Powerbookmedic.com web sites. They have parts and installation instructions. To install an Airport card is fairly easy.

My airport show that the airport card doesn't install. How can I solve this symptom? It's usable 2 days ago.

Usually, if your Mac tells you "no AirPort card installed", it's because of power not properly being supplied to the AirPort card. Sometimes this symptom is related to hardware issues.
Reset the SMC of your computer. There are different ways of resetting, depending on the Mac you are using.

HT4634 how to check if my airport card is installed? I can't find it in the network settings, so no WI-FI :-(

Since I bought this iMac more then 2 years ago, I wasn't really bothered that this feature (airport) didn't work in my iMac as I connected my iMac directly via Ethernet to the routher. The wireless router then connects to the other devices in my house. But I want to move my iMac to another room and need the airport-card to work. It was bought with it, but it has never been switched on. Any suggestions, where to check:
1.if the aiport-card has been installed when I bought it?
2. if yes, how to switch it on? it doesnt pop-up on my screen when I use the '+' in the network settings? Only 'ethernet' and 'blue-tooth'.

Is there a way to see if the actual hardware with driver has been installed in the iMAC?
it shows that tht following software versioin are installed for Wifi;
Software Versions:
CoreWLAN:          2.1.3 (213.1)
CoreWLANKit:          1.0.3 (103.2)
Menu Extra:          7.2 (720.1)
configd plug-in:          7.4.1 (741.1)
System Profiler:          7.0 (700.3)
IO80211 Family:          4.2 (420.3)
WiFi Diagnostics:          1.0.2 (102)
AirPort Utility:          6.1 (610.31)
But I can't find any hardware in the list of 'system report' that refers to 'airport card'
Is there a way to find out if there is any of such a device built in the iMac at all?
the hardware overview shows: no devices installed of the following:
ATA
Fiber Channel
Hardware RAI
PCI Cards
Parallel SCSI
SAS
Thunderbolt drivers not loaded.
it's a iMac, OS 10.7.5, but started with 10.6 when I bought it, 4GB, ethernet, 27".Wifi never worked.
any other solutions that could work? thanks for your help so far Barry!

The airport card on my macbook pro is not functioning. In the airport firmware folder it says that it opens with final cut express. Is this the problem and how do i solve it?

Hopefully one of these steps should solve the problem.
1. System Preference > Sound > Output > Internal Speakers
    Highlight Internal Speakers
    Make sure that Mute is not enabled.
2. Remove the headphone.
    If you see red light in the headphone port, plug the headphone
    in and out of the port 5 or 6 times to flip the microswitch inside.
    Sound output may be stuck in the digital mode.
3. Reset PRAM. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
4. Reset SMC.     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    Choose the method for:
    "Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own".
5. Applications > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup
    Audio Devices window
    Side Bar
    Click the Built-in Output.
    Under Mute any of the boxes checked? If so, uncheck it.
6. System Preferences > Sound> Sound Effects
    Play sound effects through:
   Select "Internal speakers" and then back to "Selected sound output device".

How do I get to the airport card in a Nehalem?

I'm thinking my airport card may not be connected correct or something but I cant figure out where it is to check. I have the 2.66GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon "Nehalem" I can't find any videos or images of this model mac. When i go to about this mac the card shows up under airport but Airport Utility doesn't show up anything just says rescan.

In that case AirPort Utility won't show you anything useful.
I have a Linksys WRT160N. As of right now my airport card wont even find it. My iphone and psp and ps3 connect to the router network just fine.
Two things that I can think of that might explain what you see: (1) The AirPort card is bad. (2) It's not connected correctly to its antenna(s). (I've seen stories about such problems.) I wonder if Apple Hardware Test could help you eliminate the first possibility.

How to change contry code on the airport card of a Macbook

Hi all,
I've a big frustrating problem.
I'm in italy with a MacBook bought at apple store in italy, I've around my house 8 different wireless network all in channel 6 or 11 , so to avoid interference I've set my router to channel 13 (in europe the wifi channel are from 1 to 13, in the Us from 1 to 11) i've no problem with my iMac 21" (but in the system profiler it tells me as country code FR instead of IT), but every time I turn on my macbook the country code of the airport card is set to US, so I can link only on network on channels from 1 to 11, what can I do to enable the last two channel on the macbook?

Hi,
The "Intel HD graphics 4400" is soldered to the motherboard (or integrated) and you can not change or swap out. You have to live with that and saving money to buy another machine.

How can I get the Airport Express to handle all the PPPoE stuff?

Hi, I’m visiting my family in China, and now trying to help my dad, with his Airport Express and how to set up a PPPoE connection.
We have currently set up the Airport Express in bridge mode (not distributing IP adresses and selecting DHCP under the Internet tab in admin utility). The Airport settings on our two computers is set up to connect using PPPoE using the given login name and password. (ps! we can not see the Base station in Airport Admin Utility when using these settings, we would have to select a new location from the Apple menu to see it and make condigurations.)
What we want is to do, is to have the Airport Express connect to the ISP using a PPPoE connection and not through the computer.
I know there is a 'Connect using PPPoE' option in Airport admin util, letting me input account name and password. If I select this setting instead of DHCP, enable distribution of IP addresses and configure my Airport card to NOT connect using PPPoE, I will see my base station in the Airport admin util with the IP address of 10.0.1.1 (or similar) and my computer will have x.x.x.2. Next to the Airport icon in the menubar, a scrolling message will say 'Looking for PPPoE host' without anything happen. I am sure my account name and password is correct as they've both worked when using this computer to connect to PPPoE (like now)
How can I get the Airport Express to handle all the PPPoE stuff without using bridge mode?
Ps! Both me and my dad have iPhones whom we can’t seem to get to connect unless its been distributed an IP address cause there's as fars as I know, no options of inputing a PPPoE user name and password.

Any solutions to this? I'm in China also, in Beijing, trying to get my Airport Express to work with an ADSL modem.
Direct ethernet cable connection to my Macbook works fine.
When I configure the Airport Express with the ID and password that seems to be fine also – Airport Express shows a green light.
But I cannot figure out the settings to connect wirelessly from my Macbook to the Airport Express. I get a constantly scolling message: "Looking for PPPoEhost..."
thanks

The AirPort card on my MBP says "Not Configured"

I am traveling overseas and all of the sudden my AirPort card won't function. It says "Not configured" and I have not been able to turn it back on in order to log into WIFI networks. I tried the Network Assistant and it tells me the AirPort is not on but it is also unable to turn it on. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks!
Walter

Can you see the AirPort card in System Profiler (Apple menu -> About This Mac -> More Info)?
Here are some things to try to reset the connection settings on your Mac:
1) Use the AirPort menu bar item to turn AirPort off, then on again.
2) In the Network panel of System Preferences delete the AirPort item from the left column, then add it back.
3) In the same panel as (2), define a new location and see if you can make that work.
4) In the same panel, select the AirPort connection item, click the "Advanced" button, select the "TCP/IP" tab, then click "Renew DHCP Lease".
5) In the folder /Library/Preferences (not <yourhomefolder>/Library/Preferences), move the folder SystemConfiguration onto the Desktop, then restart your computer. See if you can now make your AirPort connection work.
They may not help, but they'll only take a couple of minutes to try. Before you try these, note all your network settings, because the latter steps will destroy them.

If the Airport card is removable... why can't we put a new "N" version in?

Why can't we put a new card that supports "N" in our recently bougth (under a year old) computers?
What I dispise is that I personally own 15 Macs and not all of them are the latest models. So this leaves me with a "mixed" network with many of them using "G" cards.
This slows things down, and in the case of my home network (5 macs including a trusty G4 imac that is in the kitchen serving up music throughout the house) I feel that I will never be able to use the abilities of the "N" networks
This could lead to the failure of the iTV / Apple TV product for many of us. I am a Mac addict from day one and buy the latest models of everything, but held back on this because it would not work well on a mixed network.
I hope someone at Apple reads this or realizes this. We need to be able to pop out the Airport card, pay for a new one and pop in the "N" one. This allows us to stay current with the new technology.
It is not like we don't already know how to install them.
Does anyone out there sell an aftermarket version? I had heard that Belkin might offer one, but had not seen anything yet.

How do I configure the Airport utility to allow more than one rule per port?

How do I configure the Airport Utility (AU) to allow more than one rule per port?
I am on a home network, with broadband cable modem. I have my airport extreme connected to the broadband modem. I have 2 servers in my home that need to be accessed remotely from time (SSH), and they also serve data for an iphone app, so I'm using a variety of protocols. The problem I'm running into is that AU seems to only allow one rule per protocol, so if I go to add another address for access on a specific port that is being used by one of my servers, AU tells me "The Port Mapping Entry Already Exists".
I need to be able to allow SSH on both of my servers, for instance. Am I missing something? Is this doable with AU?
Thanks for any insight.
Khalid

The Port Mapping "rules" on the AirPorts will allow you to: 1. Map a single port to a single IP address OR 2) Map multiple ports to a single IP address.
What you won't be able to do is map a single or multiple ports to multiple IP addresses.
