How do I know what kind of Airport card I need for my computer?

I have a Mac Pro 2.66ghz I purchased new in 4/07 that is operating with Tiger 10.4. I want it to be able to communicate wirelessly from my router. Is all I need an Airport card? If so, which one am I supposed to get?
Thanks in advance!

Thank you. I have a desktop. Do these USB ones perform as well as the cards?

  • What kind of wireless card I need for my Power Mac G5 (late 2005) Dual 2 GH

    hi there,
    I have for sometime now a "Power Mac G5 (late 2005) Dual 2 GHz PowerPC G5", and recently I have been thinking to get an Airport extreme wireless card with a bluetooth on it, which could work on my machine.
    I have already try to deal with apple representatives and Apple sales people to give me a hand on the matter and so far is been a nightmare to approach this guys, tired of wasting time and effort, so that is way I am posting a topic on this section to see if you guys could give a hand on the matter.
    All what I would like to know is what kind of wireless card I need for my Power Mac G5 (late 2005) Dual 2 GHz PowerPC G5 (version 10.4.11) and where I could buy one on line to install myself.
    This is the mac unit I have.
    Dual 2 GHz PowerPC G5.
    Hardware Overview:
    Machine Name: Power Mac G5
    Machine Model: PowerMac11,2
    CPU Type: PowerPC G5 (1.1)
    Number Of CPUs: 2
    CPU Speed: 2 GHz
    L2 Cache (per CPU): 1 MB
    Memory: 4.5 GB
    Bus Speed: 1 GHz
    Boot ROM Version: 5.2.7f1
    Thanks for you time.

    You're welcome. Funny how Apple works isn't it? If it's any consolation, that Airport/Bluetooth card doesn't show up on the Apple U.S. store either. I don't think they ever intended it to be a user installable part, so perhaps that's why they don't offer it for sale. Do you have any Apple Authorized Service providers in your area? I'd think they'd be able to order the card as a replacement part.
    Can you give a little more detail or a link to the gadget you're referring to? It sounds like a USB dongle to enable Wi-Fi, but that must be a third party solution, since I don't believe Apple ever offered something like that.

  • What kind of mac would I need for Nexflix, basic search and email? Also, sounds silly, but can I connect an HDMI from Mac to tv?

    Just an FYI.  The Macs named PowerMac date from early 2006 and before.  Use this tip to discover where to post once you get your Mac:

    The cheapest Mac available new is a Mac Mini.   It is no bigger than many an external hard drive.  But the screen and keyboard and mouse must be purchased separately.  They support USB and Bluetooth keyboards and mice, and pretty much any DVI, HDMI, or displayport display.   Although the iMac is certainly an attractive option if all you want to deal with is deciding on a printer.   I still recommend getting an Apple USB keyboard for the occasional times you may need to troubleshoot startup issues.  Normally not a problem, but as it gets older some issues can be fixed at startup or diagnosed at startup.

  • What kind of charger do I need for my macbook core 2 duo 2 ghz.

    What kind of charger do I need for my macbook core 2 duo 2 ghz. I just bought one used that didn't come with a charger.

    There's 8 different models of MacBooks that are 2.0Ghz. To see which model you have go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info (and then System Report if you’re running 10.7 Lion).When System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier.
    You can get a new power adapter on eBay forabout $20

  • What kind of Firewire do I need for the new Mac?

    Hey Apple Community,
    I have a new late 2013 Macbook Pro. I noticed that it has a new firewire port! However, I need to digitize video footage from Mini DV tapes. The camera I'll be using to digitize my footage is a Canon Vixia HV30. Does anyone know what kind of firewire cable I'd need? Will I need an adapter of some sort?
    Thanks for the help!

    What kind of cable would I need exactly? I'd like to look it up and buy what I need today so that I could start my work soon. Here's some reference pictures:
    And do you recommend any particular cable? I'd like to purchase a reliable product.
    Thanks again for the help!

  • What kind of Ram do I need for my Mac?

    Hello
    I want to upgrade the speed of my mac by adding a 2GB stick of ram. But what kind of ram do i need? Would this work for my Mac (Mid 2011 21.5 inch) http://www.amazon.co.uk/Crucial-PC3-10600-Desktop-Upgrade-240-pin/dp/B001NA25VS/ ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1390290563&sr=8-1&keywords=2gb+ram?

    Macs are very, VERY picky about the RAM specs they need.
    That RAM is the wrong pin count and probably for PCs and not a Mac
    Here is the proper RAM spec for your year and model.
    32 GB (Actual) 16 GB (Apple)
    Memory Slots
    4 - 204-pin PC3-10600 (1333 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM
    Correct and reliable Mac RAM can be purchased from online Mac RAM sources Crucial memory or OWC (macsales.com).

  • How do you know what kind of ssd your macbook pro has?

    I have an older macbook pro (the one with a intel core 2 duo) but I don't know which kind of ssd it has. I checked system profiler but I did not see it. I have not upgraded it so I am assuming this is the default ssd. I want to also upgrade the ssd, but nor sure which one is good. I was thinking OCZ Vertex SATA II 2.5'' (not sure what size 50-480 gb).

    Go to System Profiler > SERIAL-ATA > Then you will have the Model numbers - Just google them & you should get your drive!

  • How do I know what kind of router I should get?

    I'm looking for a wireless router to get my laptop connected to the internet my desktop has.  What do the jumbles of numbers and letters attached to the different routers MEAN?  How do I know which one to get?

    Unless you plan to play internet games a standard "G" router will do fine.  The numbers you describe indicate the speed and version.  The older "B" routers will have "11" for 11mByte per second while the "G" router will have "54" for 54mByte per second.
    An alternate method to connect your laptop is to have an "Ad-Hoc" network.  There is not a router in this type.  One PC, normally a desktop, is wired to the internet modem.  This PC will have a wireless adapter card and acts an access point.  All other PCs in the network will need a wireless adapter card.  This method works well, is cheaper and has less hardware.  I recommend XP for the access point PC.  The only disadvantage is that the access point PC must remain on which isn't a bad idea to begin with.  Also the wireless range may suffer slightly.
    FWIW, I have an Ad-Hoc network.  My son took the router to college and I was forced to explore options.  It works very well and is quite stable.  My access point PC runs on XP while an older PC is running 98se.  The newer "G" equipment may not run on Windows 98.  This isn't a problem here as I am still using "B" equipment.  I hope this helps.

  • How can I know what kind of field is?

    Hi,
    I have a function that receive a field, and depends of the kind of field (Text, numeric or date) is necesary execute a expecific script.
    Is it possible ask to the field if it is a numeric, text or date field?
    Thanks

    I have no straight answer for this situation... However you may achieve this using workaround methods using following two properties...
    $.name or this.name gives you the name of the fields you gave at design time. So name those three fields they way you can easily identify their type with their name. And build you logic based on that.
    You may also use $.className or this.className to get what kind of the field it is but not to the granularity to the level of your expectation.
    I prefer the first one. Try that and let us know what you found.
    Good luck,

    I'm wanting to upgrade my memory (I currently have 512 mb, WAY too slow for what I'm using it for. Apparently I have 2 sticks of 256 mb. I'm wanting to upgrade to 2gb, or possible even 4gb if possible. I don't know where I can buy some ram. Apparently there is a specific kind of ram that I need to get, and I don't know what it is, or where to get it. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks.
    P.S. I'm going to have the apple store install it for me. I may change my mind though, seeming as a lot of people are saying that it is easy.

    Is there a reason that it is limited to 2GB?
    The computer was only designed for 2GB and won't start up if more is installed.

  • What kind of SSD do I need for my Macbook Pro 13(MD102E/A)?

    Hi guys and gals,
    The thing is that my hd is dead as punk so I will have to replace it. I want to replace it with a Solid State Drive, can you guys help me find what kind of hard drive can I use for this model: MD102E/A Macbook Pro?
    Thanks in advance.
    Ade Goldman

    Any 2.5" SATA SSD will work. Is it your plan to do the work yourself or take it to Apple. If the latter, then you will need to arrange to have an Apple SSD installed by them. They will not install one that you buy. If you do the work then shop for a suitable product at OWC or you can purchase other brands at places such as NewEgg.com. OCZ and Samsung both have compatible SSDs. Be sure to get one that supports SATA III 6 Gb/s also referred to as 6G.
