How to boost the power on my Airport Card

As I posted before, I finally got my old iMAC to go with the Airport Extreme. The Airport Card in the iMAC is behind the trap door. I must be within 5 feet of the base station to get it to work. That's disappointing, I had hoped for at least 20 ft.
Anybody an idea how I can boost the power of this card? Antennae maybe? My other Macs are far away and work flawlessly.
Thanks, Jan.

  • How to extend the range of my Airport Extreme network by adding an Airport Express

    How to extend the range of my Airport Extreme network by adding an Airport Express?

    You have to make sure that the AirPort Express is in Factory Default Settings. If it is straight out of the box, it is ready to be configured.
    The instructions that I will provide are for using AirPort Utility 6.0, which you have.
    Locate the Express in the same room as the AirPort Extreme for the configuration. Power it up and allow a full minute for the Express to display a blinking amber light.
    Make sure that the wireless is turned on your Mac
    Open AirPort Utility 6.0 and look at the small rectangle in the upper left hand corner of the display. It should now read something like "Other AirPort Base Stations (1)"
    Click on the rectangle, and then click on the AirPort Express xxxxxx listing
    AirPort Utility will take a minute or two to analyze the settings on your network and then suggest that  the Express be configured to "Extend" your wireless network.
    Edit the Base Station name to your liking, then click Next in the lower right hand corner
    Allow a full minute or two let AirPort Utility do its work
    When you see Setup Complete, click Done at the lower right of the window.
    Now move the AirPort Express to a location that is approximately half way between the AirPort Extreme and the area that needs more wireless coverage.
    You should be in business.

    You don't make any settings for the power switch; either the Mac can use it or it can't. The Mac SE has a rocker power switch on the back of the CPU. The keyboard can't change the state of the power supply. Later Macs could, but not the SE.

  • How much for the power button replacement?

    Power button for my iphone 5 can't work,can't power on/off or wake/sleep the device,have to plug in PC for power on, the apple warranty service for my iphone has expired,so, how much for the power button replacement?

    Out of warranty replacement thru apple is $269.00 USD.  That includes a 90 day warranty on the replacement device.  You might want to check for repair shops that will just repair the power button, but since your warranty is expired, that might be a cheaper option for you.

  • HT3964 I am getting the error message "No AirPort card installed" Restarting my iMac desktop does not solve this (Apple help says I need to reset the SMC this way, but nothing changes. Can somebody advise, please?

    I am getting the error message "No AirPort card installed" Restarting my iMac desktop does not solve this (Apple help says I need to reset the SMC this way, but nothing changes). Can somebody advise, please?

    Thanks for the flag J.K. - they contaced me and solved my problem.  On this account (which I created just to ask this question), I log in with my email rather than my user name (mtalldud). On the account that I was having trouble with, they told me to use my user ID instead of my email to log in and it worked. This is a bit confusing and seems a bit inconsistent but at least I don't need this temporary account any more to get into this community and find answers!

  • How to access the power management option?

    I cannot find the power management option in my general settings??? how to find it???

    Hmm... have you searched the app store?  I don't recall ever seeing such an app, but it might be out there.  With the sandboxing that goes on, such an app may be impossible to write, but who knows...

  • How to change the power supply to the CD/DVD Drive so that it is off by default?

    When running on battery I often use the "Safely Remove Hardware" icon from XP to "unplug" the Mat****a CD/DVD drive in order to safe some battery life.(Does it?) I use Fn+Tab to bring it back to life. I wonder if there is a way to make my Notebook (M400) boot with the power supply to the Drive off by default. By the way, any idea where I can find the extra battery for the CD/DVD-Drive slot and at which price?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Hello Robert
    If you check start page you will see that this support forum is not any kind of Toshiba support directly but user-to-user forum. But you are not alone and many users expect that some Toshiba support team sit in the office and wait to write answers.
    Anyway there are many Toshiba notebook users with very good knowledge and also enthusiasts who try to help other guys with different issues and also share own experience.
    Professionalism is not forum but action when you need assistance because of hardware damage or something similar. If you need competent answers and help every authorized service partner should be able to give you info you need. But please dont mix service partner and Toshiba because it is not the same.
    Anyway I have found info that you can use additional (second expansion battery) and it should be batteries with part numbers PA3510U-1BAL and PA3510U-1BRL. I can not tell you how much it costs but you can find it alone using Google.
    Back to your first question: If I am understand you right you want to save more power and because of that you want to disconnect ODD. It is nice idea but you have obviously misunderstood something. "Safely Remove Hardware option is there to help operating system and say this hardware part will be removed and dont exist anymore but it does not mean physically disconnection from other hardware.
    If you need more power use second battery and enjoy your life.
    If you have more questions you are welcome. Many users here have M400 and I hope in the future some of them will participate a little bit more.
    Have a nice day! :)

  • How to check the power supply? iMac G3 233

    How to do it?
    Can i just take the case with the mainboard out and "short" the pins Power on (pin 8) with GND and check the voltages on the connector that comes out of the monitor case?
    I know that the pin 8 is the power from articles about imac>atx case conversion.And i know that you can power up a normal ATX power supply by shortening two pins, and want to know if i can do the same with iMAc power supply. I don't want to fry anything.

    Sounds like you have eliminated most of the possibilities, other than power supply board or motherboard. But it may also be the CPU daughter card that is faulty. I had one (233 MHz) that would run Mac OS 9 just fine, but it was unable to run Mac OS X reliably (crashes and freezes after a few minutes). I replaced it first with a 333 MHz G3 card off of eBay and later with a 467 MHz G4 card from the Fastmac booth at MacWorld San Francisco two years ago.
    If you are comfortable disassembling the iMac to the point of removing the power supply board, you can layout the PS board and the carrier assembly (the thing you pull out with the motherboard, CPU card, and drives) on a table top. Then connect the power supply board to the carrier assembly, and connect the external power cord plug to the power supply board, and connect a keyboard with a power button to the carrier.
    To measure the voltages, you can disconnect the 4-pin connector to the hard drive. If you turn it on using the power button on the keyboard, it will not start up with the hard drive not powered up (unless you use a bootable CD), but the system should be powered so that you can take your measurements.
    Hope that works. Be careful with the exposed back end of the CRT. Keep any curious cats out of the room while you do this...
    In case you don't have the PDF of the tray-loader iMac tech manual, it is downloadable here.

  • Satellite PSA 30E: How to fix the power connector?

    Hello
    I need to open up my Satellite PSA 30E to fix a bad concection in the power conector. Does anyone have a description on how to access this conector? I know for sure that this is the problem and not the AC power adapter. The computer is out of warrenty so I will try to fix it my self. The computer store told me I hade to replace the whole motherboard and that would cost me some 800 dollar, Yeah right!

    Hi
    Well, the problem is that Im not sure if the power jack is soldered on the notebook or only plugged.
    If its only plugged so you can remove all parts, covers, motherboard and then somewhere you should find the power jack.
    But if its soldered so its not easy to replace it. you should have a very good experience in electronic to fix it.
    Check these jacks;

    However, there are no officials documents how to replace this jack. I assume the Toshiba service partner in your country could give you more details.
    Good luck

  • How to disable the wireless section of Airport Extreme Base Station?

    Is it possible to disable the wireless section of Airport Extreme Base Station?
    It is because I do not want to have any high frequency radio signal which may be dangerous for small baby (no such proof for the moment, however).
    Anyone using the new Airport Extreme Base Station please check and help.
    Thanks!!

    I think you are a little too concerned. Just for the sake of how to, here it is.
    go to manual set up, airport, wireless, wireless mode, and then choose off.
    good luck.

  • How to visualize the power map in office 365 or share point 2013??

    Hi,
    I have designed the power map within excel.
    Here power map can be able to saw within excel, but  i need to visualize to web browser like share point 2013 or office 365.
    Anyone know how to display it?
    Thanks,
    Ramu

    With Power Map you have the ability now to create a video of the tour when you are done.  You can then use this video file to share the tour in SharePoint, in Power Points, YouTube, etc.
    http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel-help/export-a-power-map-tour-as-a-video-HA104106952.aspx
    At this point this is the only way to share the tours unless you open up the Excel file and launch Power Map.

  • How to read the power and status LEDs on cFP2020

    Can the cFP2020 Power and Status LEDs be monitored by a host program? Also, can the Power and Ready LEDs be monitored from the other cFP Modules?

    You can not directly read the Network Module Power or Status LED from a host program. Likewise, you can not directly read the Power and Ready LED of an IO module.
    However, even though you can not directly ready the LED status, there are ways of finding out most of the information that the LEDs convey.
    For the Network Module Power LED, you can infer the status of the Power LED by looking at the channel status for any/all items that are on the bank. If the items have errors indicating that a communication timeout has occured or an addressed item does not exist, then it is probable that the unit is offline (either because of no power or a fault). The Status LED indicates the current operating status of the Network module and in most cases, if it is flashing
    , then a fault has occured that shutdown the processor. In most cases, you will not be able to determine that the Status LED is flashing, as the Status LED indicates a fault condition which will put the unit into a non-standard operating mode (e.g. firmware corruption, unassigned IP Address, or an OS fault).
    For the IO modules, each channel on a module can report status, and based upon the status you can infer the state of the LEDs. If the module does not have the Power LED lit, the most likely status will be "Addressed item does not exist". If the module has the Power LED but no Ready LED, then the status will indicate that the "item is unconfigured". If the module has both a Power and Ready LED, than the channel should report either a good status, or a channel specific error (if applicable).

  • Please i need help. My iphone 4s have a temperature warning then the iphone turn-off right away and no matter how we press the power button the iphone doesnt start..please help me.

    i already charged it but nothing shows in the screen.. i did the long pressing both home button and sleep/wake button still no result.. please help me..

    If it has a temperature warning, you may have over heated it. Keep it inside and at a cooler temperature exposure. Give it some time. Try holding down the home button and the power button at the same time until something happens.

  • How to extend the power cord of MacBook?

    Hi!
    I know its a very silly question...!
    but i don't know where to connect the the power cord extension on the power adapter...

    Welcome to the Apple discussions.
    Disconnect the adaptor from the wall and the MacBook. Hold the adaptor in your left hand so that the cord going to the MacBook is on the left, and the power prongs are on the TOP right. Grasp the white plastic holding the prongs with the thumb and fingers of the right hand. Hold the whole adaptor flat and horizontal. Using the right hand, slide the prongs section horizontally AWAY from you. The prong section should just slide off. The power cord can then be fitted to replace the prongs by reversing the process.
    Hope this helps
