How do I find out excutally what to buy to go wireless

I have an iMac flat panel that I bought in 2003. I recently up graded & added memory. Now it is version 10.4.2 1 GHz powerPC G4 1GB DDR SDRAM. I am going to buy a 17 inch Power Book G4. I have a speed streem modem from my sbc dsl server. I need to know what I need to buy to go wireless. I do not have any cards installed but it has a slot under neath. The new comp already has a card. I am very confused as to what I need I still have apple care & one of the tec. told me they no longer made the cards for my comp. & that I would need a router addaptor & etc. I became very confused as from reading it seems that I need a card & airport extreme base station Can anyone help as how to order the right equipment Thanks Judy

Speaking of just the PowerMac first - yes you could:
- cable the PowerMac's ethernet port to the cable modem for internet access
- use the PowerMac's Airport interface to communicate wirelessly to an Airport Express downstairs
Introducing the need to provide shared (and wireless) internet access to a PC suggests another solution:
- forget about buying an Airport card for the PowerMac
- buy a non-Apple wireless router
- connect the cable modem to the router's internet port, and cable the PowerMac to one of the router's LAN ports
- the PC (with installed wireless adapter) connects wirelessly to the wireless router
- the Airport Express gets configured as a wireless client to the wireless router. Your PowerMac communicates with the Airport Express via the router.

  • I receive a Software Update notice that fails. How do I find out who/what is trying to update? How do I stop its attempt to update? The only response allowed is "OK". When OK is selected the window goes away and nothing else happens.

    About once a month I receive the Software update notice that has failed. How do I find out who/what is trying to update? If I decided I want this update how do I allow it to continue? If I decided I do not want this update how do I stop it and its attempt to update? The only response allowed is "OK". When OK is selected the window goes away and nothing else happens.

    Hi sharkbiscuit79,
    Yes your cabinet 10 on the Crediton exchange has already been installed and linked with a FTTC DSLAM cabinet (making it able to provide FTTC fibre broadband) and has been Accepting FTTC orders since December 2013.  PCP10 (with it's DSLAM cabinet within 100meters of it) is locate on the junction of Commercial Road and the A3072.
    However by the looks of things your are just too far away to obtain a FTTC (VDSL2) connection, meaning FTTC fibre broadband is not available to you.
    Have a look at the Connecting Devon and Somerset Considerations (particularly the last paragraph) - http://www.connectingdevonandsomerset.co.uk/where-when-map-conditions/
    Your best bet is to talk to Connecting Devon and Somerset to see if there are any further plans to get a fibre based service to your area via https://www.connectingdevonandsomerset.co.uk/contact-us/ (as your area may not be inscope of any further deployment). Best give them your full address and landline number too as they can check if you are within a NGA area.

  • How can I find out specifically what plugins are missing? Am told missing, then plugin finder tells me no suitable found, I would look for them myself but have no way to find out what exactly need to look for.

    I go into a wiki created by my employer, and get the bar at top of page almost immediately telling me there are plugins needed. I click the button offered for finding plugins, and almost immediately am told no suitable plugins are found. Plugin help offered is useless, because I have no idea what plugins I need to look for. How can I find out what plugins are being detected as "missing"?

    If there is no LR edits to keep, or if you don't want to keep the existing edits, you could delete the files from LR and import them again.
    Since the file names on disk and file names in LR don't match, you will need to manually match them up by hand individually, if you want to keep the existing LR edits.
    The easiest approach to this -- without doing any script programming -- is to go into each directory, one at a time:
    Select the correct folder in the "folders" pane. Right-click "show parent" as necessary to see the directory tree.
    Sort the LR Library by creation date.
    Using the details view in File Explorer, sort the files by creation date (add to the viewed columns if necessary).
    Assuming no more than 1 image per second, the files should line up.

  • How do I find out easily what our group policy settings are?

    To cut a long story short we had a third party implement ZCM and GPs. We have too many and need to amalgamate them, but there is no documentation about what the settings are. I know there are various tools for AD that will give you a summary of applied GP settings, but that is not much help if they are being deployed via ZCM. Does anybody know of tool that we can run to find out what our GP settings are short of manually browsing through each field?
    I was thinking of copying over the policy sets to AD and then running one of the AD tools, but if someone has a better idea I am all ears.
    Thanks

  • How do I find out EXACTLY what URL/URI a plugin is using and what the format is?

    I just want the above info to help me debug a rather complex problem, details of which below.
    I cant work out how to make BBC iPlayer (which i think is based on Adobe Flash) drive my sound card, which requires ASIO to work bit-perfect.
    NB I really need it to work on my XP Pro sp3 machine connected to my hifi so a windows 7 only solution is not ideal, though I would upgrade if it's the only way.
    many thanks
    John

    Probably off topic but:
    BBC iPlayer uses FlashPlayer for live video streams and Radio streams. It also has options for Windows Media downloads and playback of video, and has options for some mp3 radio downloads and Windows streams of radio are also available.
    Your location bar will show the url being used
    If you use iPlayer Desktop that uses flash and Adobe Air.
    Note there is a BBC [http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/mbiplayer/ messageboard ]
    and a [http://iplayerhelp.external.bbc.co.uk/help/ help & faq] section with some url s [http://faq.external.bbc.co.uk/questions/radio/online_radiohowto here]

  • How do i find out my iPhone's original purchase date?

    I bought it used from eBay and don't know when the owner bought it. It has warranty util July 21 and i want to extend it, so i want to buy AppleCare. One AppleCare it says it will extend the warranty for two year since the original purchase date. So how do i find out if i can buy AppleCare for my iPhone or not and how long would it cover my iPhone for?

    You don't need to know the original purchase date (though it will be one year prior to the date of warranty expiration). You have until July 21st, the day when the warranty expires, to purchase and register an AppleCare plan, presuming you can still find the original plan. Apple no longer sells that plan; they sell only AppleCare+ which has to be purchased at or within 30 days of the original purchase. But some dealers still have the retail AppleCare for iPhone package available.
    If you can find and register the original AppleCare, it will be in effect until July 20th, 2013.
    Regards.

  • How do I find out what my PW is on my Mac or at least how to reset it?

    I reset my password for internet site but i must have a different pw on my Mac, it will not let me do updates without it*  The PW hint in the sign in screen is not working.  How do I find out what my PW is on my Mac or at least how to reset it?
    thanks,

    Sounds like you want your administrative password on the Mac so can install? For starters, you'll want to ask in a Mac forum. I know you used to be able to reset it using the install disk but haven't tried that for years.

  • How do i find out what devices are authorised on my apple ID?

    I have just bought a new iMac and want to get all my itunes library etc on it.  However, apparently i have reached my limit of 5 authorisations, which is entirely possible as I have had a number of iphones, Macair and ipads, some of which I either no longer own or are no longer functioning.  How do I find out what devices are authorised and then deauthorise any that I don't use any more - given that they may not even work!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can't de-authorise just the computers you no longer have access to.
    Your only option is to de-authorise all your computers and then re-authorise those you wish to be authorised. You can do this by logging into your account settings in iTunes on your computer (Store > View My ID) and selecting the option to de-authorise all.
    Please note however, you are only permitted to do this once in each 12 month period, therefore you would be better de-authorising your computers before you lose access to them. you can do this from the 'Store' menu in iTunes.

  • I have two iPhones on my iTunes account. How can I find out what apps go to which phone?

    I have two iPhones on my iTunes account. How can I find out what apps go to which phone?

    I don't believe that there is a way to do that.  I would sugest using automatic downloads to keep your apps synced across both phones.  You might also want to note that just about any app you have ever download will be available for free download via icloud.
    Wish I could be more help.

  • How can I find out what apple IDs are tied to an email address

    We are trying to set up FaceTime and got the verification error on the email address.  We went in to the Apple ID account and when we verify the email address, it tells us that it's tied to another AppleID.  My daughter has 3 other AppleIDs and we've checked each one of them and the email address is not tied to any of them.
    How can we find out what apple ID is tied to this email address?
    We have used the "Forgot my Apple ID" function and used all 3 of the different email addresses she's used on the accounts and when we access the one that says there's a duplicate, it takes us to the account and it's the one with the email address that I noted above.
    Any thougts or help?
    Thanks!

  • I am trying to sync my 5th gen. Keep getting a message about items on my iPod not in my library. How do I find out what these items are?

    I'm trying to sync my 5th gen iPod and I keep getting a message that there are items on my iPod that are not in my iTunes and they'll be deleted if I don't transfer them. How do I find out what these items are so I know if I want them or not? Also, I seem to have a fair amount of duplicates, one marked with the cloudn symbol and one not. Which one do I delete??

    Go to your "Purchased"  list. See:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    and look for items not on this computer.
