I am installing a Bluetooth card in my PowerPC G5. The screws that came with it are too small. Is it neecessary to screw the card in place? Is there some type of electrical/ground connection made? Thanks Jack
Do I need to Screw the Bluetooth Card in place in my G5? Is there some/electrical/ground connection made with the screws?
Thanks, Jack
Depending on the exact build model (identified) the parts can vary, so without knowing
what PPC G5 (assuming tower in this discussion) you have, the screws should fit if the
part is correct. And the item should be attached so it won't move or short against the
other electrical components.
In the original configuration, BT & AirPort cards were dealer installed or CTO accessories.
And the metal case could affect the range of either of these wireless cards; in several
instances there also was an antenna upgrade as part of the kit.
Which G5 tower do you have?
If not an aluminum tower, that'd be a another ASC discussion.
Could be you acquired the part for a different sales model number or build variable.
Can the seller match your product serial number with the bluetooth part?
In any event...
Good luck & happy computing!

Dear user, can i format and install a fresh copy of Mac OS 10.6.4, with another MacBook CD, because i lost the one that came with mine, thanks.
As you need to be on 10.6 to be able access the App Store to download Lion, either get replacement discs via Applecare (you'll need the MBP's serial number to get the right ones) or get the SL retail disc. I would recommend the Original disc replacement set (assuming they were 10.6) as they carry not onlyApple Hardware Test for your model, but the iLife apps other bundled sftware that isn't on the retail disc.
Once you've installed, and used Software Update to get to 10.6.8, you can then get Lion if you're feeling masochistic. -

I had to delete everything on my computer and install the operating system again , but I had to install Snow Leopard because it was the cd that came with the computer when I bought it. The problem is that I had already paid for the OS Lion and even had upgraded to the Mavericks . I do not think it's fair to have to pay again and I would like to upgrade my operating system without having to pay again for the same system.
Hi anatuta,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you are trying to upgrade your Mac to a newer version of OS X, after completing a fresh install of Snow Leopard.
If you have already purchased and downloaded OS X Lion and Mavericks, you should be able to find these items in the Purchased section of the Mac App Store.
You may find the steps in this article helpful with finding the items:
Mac App Store: Finding your purchased apps - Apple Support
If you do not see the items in the Purchased section, they may be hidden:

All the best,

Is there a way to remove your sim card if you don't have the tool that came with your phone?
Is there a way to remove your sim card if you don't have the tool that came with your phone? I wanted to see if I could upload my old information to the iCloud, by putting the new sim card into the old phone, since I didn't before I updated my new phone.
Any metal clip will do. Insert the tip in the little hole next to the Sim Card and press FIRMLY. The SIM drawer will pop out.

I purchased the Logitech F310 game controller for my 2011 MacBook Pro. How do I get the driver installed for it. The Disk that came with the controller is a mini disk and will not insert into my laptop.
May not make a difference anyway. The Logitech support site does not show drivers for Mac OS for the F310:
http://www.logitech.com/en-us/support/gamepad-f310?crid=411
I'd contact their support to find out if there is a Mac driver available, and if they can either give you a web link to get it, e-mail you the software, or snail-mail you a standard-size disk with the drivers. -
I have a roboteq hdc 2450 and want connect to labview but have no idea how to do so. I have the drivers that came with it will it work to interface with labview?
You can create your control code in LabVIEW and then use a Call Library Function Node to communicate with your roboteq DLL. The first thing to do though, is check to see if Roboteq offers LabVIEW drivers.
Using LabVIEW: 7.1.1, 8.5.1 & 2013 -
Hi,
I have an iphone 4 and all of a sudden none of the apps will work, except the ones that came with the phone. When I open them the screen goes black then it goes back to the homescreen.
Also when I plug the phone into itunes it only gives me the option to either restore or eject the phone. Up until today I never had any problems, I sync it regularly and all the software (inc itunes) is up to date. The last time I backed it up was about a month ago when I got the phone, (a replacement as my other iphone4 had loads of problems) so I don't want to have to restore it and lose everything off it!
Any ideas? Thanks in advance!Sounds like the device was dropped at some point and damaged as a result.
Take it to Apple for evaluation and a replacement. -

Install OS X 10.4 onto my laptop from DVD that came with iMac G5?
Hi!
I just got an iMac G5, and want to install OSX 10.4 onto my laptop (G4 800 Mhz iBook) but can't seem to do so. Is there some way to do this, for example if I were to boot the iBook in target disk mode, or is the DVD that comes with the Imac locked in some way to prevent installation on other computers? Is this some kind of "one computer only" license? I don't recall this issue with OS X in the past!
Thanks.Hi mrp,
first of all: WELCOME TO THE DISCUSSIONS!
You CANNOT use hardware specific software install&restore disks that shipped with another computer. These simply do not contain the hardware drivers for any other computer model but the one they originally shipped with. You have to buy the retail full install DVD.
Besides this technical limitation it would also be ILLEGAL. Apple's Mac OS X Software License Agreement states in point 2:
2. Permitted License Uses and Restrictions.
A. This License allows you to install and use one copy of the Apple Software on a single Apple-labeled computer at a time. This License does not allow the Apple Software to exist on more than one computer at a time,... -
I recently bought a Palm Tungsten E2. I have been unable to install the Universal Wireless Keyboard software that came with the E2. Went online and downloaded the version 1.13 UWK and that would not install either. What did I do wrong?
Post relates to: Tungsten E2For Vista that version will not let you install programs. Good news though is we have a version you can. Go here, http://www.palm.com/us/support/downloads/windesk62.html and install this on top of the version you already have. There is going to be a few changes on the desktop, there is no quick install, but the install tool.
Once you have that done just double click on keyboard and it will ask you your hotsync name and sync and your done.
Oh as a side note the check if this is your solution is only if the answer solves your original question.
Message back if you have more question or need more help
