How do I get my newly installed airport card to work with SKY?

+This question was originally posted on the G5 iMac section, but I think in retrospect it would be better here. Sorry for my mistake Administrator+.
Here's an interesting one for all you good people. Just bought and paid for an airport extreme card to pop into my little lad's G5 iMac, running Tiger(gggrrrrrrrr etc).
Managed to install it without a hitch.
Trouble is when I try and set it up to work with my SKY router (UK) it keeps telling me that my password is incorrect. The fibber! I know it IS correct as it is the one that SKY gave us and that we have successfully connected both my wife's MacBook and my own MacBook Pro with.
I have tried messing about with all kinds of configurations, but the set up assistants seem more bothered about yapping on about airport base-stations and computer-to-computer networks.
Now don't go telling me I need to get a base station to make it work. Please.
Can anyone offer some sound advice?
It does work on and off though. It works more often when the other Macs in the house are running (What-the-flip???)

You can't. Theoretically, Thunderbolt devices that only transfer video and audio should work with Mini DisplayPort MacBooks like yours, but it's not the case of the Thunderbolt Display. Its firmware doesn't allow it to be used with non-Thunderbolt Macs, so you can't use the Thunderbolt Display with the Mid 2010 MacBook Pro.
Instead, you have to look for another screen, or you can get an adapter and connect the MacBook Pro to a TV

    How do I get a newly installed Cannonscan8800F Scanner to show up in " IMPORT "

    What installing the twain plug-in, you mean? Go to your applications folder. Find the Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 folder. Look in there for a folder called support files, then for a folder called optional plugins. In the Optional Plugins folder, there should be a folder called ImportModules. Just drag that from the Optional Plugins folder to the regular Plugins folder.
    This will be infinitely easier to do if you put your applications folder window into list view, not the default icon view. To do that, click this button at the top of the window:

  • Older G4 with newly installed airport card

    I recently installed an airport card into my G4. Everything works fine while I am using the ethernet.(cable down the hallway to my room) But when I try and use the airport card wirelessly to my router it does not work. It says it can not be found. My macbook pro works fine using the wireless connection as does my printer. Even when my G4 is sitting beside the router its a no go.

    An airport extreme card, inside of a G5 PowerMac Tower, requires an
    antenna; this usually sticks out the back and looks a bit like a "T" handle.
    I'm not sure of the part number or if a reseller has them in stock.
    I've seen elsewhere in these Discussion forums someone had
    posted an image and more information about the OEM antenna.

  • How do I get Vio Pov.1 (helmetcam) footage to work with Premiere CS4?

    Hi.
    I'm having the same problems as this guy: http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b78c2b/7 with video from the Vio Pov.1 not playing in premiere. Although his topic is already there I made a new topic to get some fresh hits and try to resolve this once and for all. Also because I make some reference to Canon Ixus video files.
    I have run the codec-analyzer g-spot on one of the pov.1 video files and it states that I have the proper codec installed.
    Codecs in video clip:
    Video: XviD ISO MPEG-4 @ 3101kbps 720*480
    Audio: 0x0050 MPEG-1 Layer 2 @ 32000Hz 64 kb/s , Monophonic
    Still no luck playing/editing them in Premiere CS4. Audio plays fine, video shows but frame is only updated every 4-5 seconds and not the actual frame that corresponds to that point in the audio but actually the next frame from the first one. It continues like that.
    Specs:
    Running Vista 32 bit and Adobe Master Collection CS4
    Quad-core 2,4GHz
    4GB ram (i know, only about 3 to 3,5GB utilized in 32 bit OS.)
    Nvidia 8800GT 512mb
    74GB WD Raptor as system/adobe software drive.
    500GB Samsung spinpoint throuch E-sata as project drive.
    The wierd thing is this:
    I have a separate system drive with windows xp installed, Adobe Master collection CS3 fully updated and NO other software. (same computer)
    Differance between CS3 and CS4:
    CS3,no codec pack:
    - Canon ixus video files WORK
    - Vio Pov.1 reported as audio only, not even thumbs showing FAIL
    CS3, ffdshow codec pack installed(ffdshow-rev2180_20081004_xxl)
    - Canon ixus: WORKS
    - Vio Pov.1: WORKS
    CS4 on vista, relatively fresh install, fully updated, no codes packs.
    - Canon ixus: FAIL
    - Vio Pov.1: FAIL (video)
    CS4, same as above with ffdshow installed:
    - Canon ixus: FAIL
    - Vio Pov.1: FAIL (video)
    CS4, same as above with morgan mjpeg codec installed:
    - Canon ixus: WORKS (yay!)
    - Vio Pov.1: FAIL (obviously as it's not mjpeg)
    Someone with some insight into these things, please point me in the right direction. Does anyone have experience with managing video settings within the ffdshow interface? I'm not experienced enough to tweak all the settings.
    The current project Im working on is a small web clip shot with a Panasonic HDC-SD100 and the Vio Pov.1. It's a short rally on ice clip I'm looking to produce the panasonic video files are NOT supportet in CS3 even with codec packs.
    CS3=
    panasonic: no!
    vio-pov1: yes!
    CS4:
    Panasonic: yes!
    Vio-pov1: no!
    See my problem?
    I added the Canon ixus comparison since I previously had problems with it but have now solved them. Also to show that Adobe seem to have cut support for certain formats when moving on to CS4. It has taken me a looong time figuring out how to get ixus working in premiere because I'm not used to this stuff.
    The ideal solution is not having to convert clips before using them so I would like to focus on that avenue. After all it finally worked with the ixus clips so I have hopes that eventually a solution can be found for the Pov.1 clips which is also more widely spread and used in proper productions.
    Im very sorry for the format of this post, and the length. I just had to get it out there to see if someone can help me.
    / Johannes

    Thank you Stanley and Bill for your input.
    Sorry for checking the topics progress so late.
    Bill, could I ask what specific software you are using for this batch conversion task?
    Like I stated in my first post I am able to edit the Pov.1 material when plugging in my secondary HD with Xp and CS3 on it. So I can fiddle about with that as well but if you could supply me with the name of your software it would save me all that time swapping harddrives back and fourth. There are so many out there, would like to eliminate risk of malware and such by using the software you have.
    (reminder, cs3 does not do AVCHD, #1 of many reasons why I prefer cs4)
    I'm still testing various xvid/mpeg4 settings with ffdshow and other codecs, I'm still determined to find a solution, for everyone. After all, it CAN run under CS3.
    I have also submitted the case to Adobe. Hoping to hear from them soon. Anyone else care to throw some thoughts in?
    Thanks again for the input so far,
    Johannes

  • How do I get my Mac version of Elements 12 work with my epson printer/scanner

    HELP
    How do I get my Mac version of Elements 12 to work with my Epson XP-510 in scanner mode using the get photo's function.
    It does not show the scanner being available even though the scanner works with other programmes and will print direct from organiser to the printer.
    Ron Steele

    You must install the TWAIN driver:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/twain-installed-photoshop-elements-11.html
    However, it may still not work, since some scanners are not compatible with the 64-bit PSE 12. Epsons have the most problems, unfortunately.

  • How do i get my boot camp windows7 internetconnection to work with usbadapter

    How do I get my internetconnection via usbadapter (twisted pair TP) to work on my Boot Camp windows7. I run OS LION. WiFi works good on both windows and Lion. On Lion does it also work good with the USBadaper to TP connection. I have the latest Brodacom driver installed on Windows7.

    I do not know the answer myself, but I bet if you post in the boot camp forum, someone will be able to help you in a more timely manner.  https://discussions.apple.com/community/windows_software/boot_camp.  Good luck.

  • How can I get an old Casio CTK-593 to work with Logic Express?

    Title pretty much says it all.
    I have a Fast Track USB from M-Audio to connect it to my pc but I don't know how to get it working with Logic.
    Thanks in advance.

    Did you check your connection with the audio-midi-setup.app in the programs/utilities folder of your MAC (not "pc" pls)?
    If you have a working MIDI connection, you'll need to open up a software instrument track within Logic to play Logic's instruments via your keyboard.

  • Installing airport card - iMac G5 with 10.3.9

    No airport card is yet installed on my iMac G5 machine. I'd like to use it as a base station for a wireless network with a new MacBook Pro equipped with Airport Extreme.
    Which airport card would I need to install in the iMac, where would I find such -- and will the wireless connection work given the iMac's 10.3.9 OS? My ISP is ATT, bless their cyber hearts...

    An Airport Extreme card is required. There are a number of different ones that could work, but I don't have information on the particular type. You would need to open it up to see what the slot for it looks like and the physical space available. I would assume those models use a mini-PCI card. You also need to check if antennae are already installed in the computer, otherwise you will need them as well.
