I have a G5 apple mac does the G5 have i built wifi or do i have to buy a wifi adapter

I need help connecting my G5 to the internet does it have in built WI-FI or do i have to buy a adaptor to save me buying wires and such

Under the Apple select About this Mac, then More Info... a list will appear. Under Network look for Airport Card. If you have one there it will be listed. This your wi-fi card.
The G5 I am typing this on had one when we bought it but that is so long ago I don't recall if it was an add-on or already there.
One thing though is that we couldn't get on wirelessly until we ordered an antenna from our local Apple dealer. Once we did that then we could "see" the wi-fi network.

    Yes. You are only Copying the Data not moving it.

  • I can't open any of my Word documents on my Apple Mac. The error code is EXC_CRASH (SIGABRT) and the  blame module name is WordArt. The documents are still there, and I can open them on my iPad when I email them there. Any ideas?

    I can't open any of my Word documents on my Apple Mac. The error code is EXC_CRASH (SIGABRT) and the blame module name is WordArt. The documents are still there, and I can open them on my iPad when I email them there. Any ideas?

    Uhhhhh... Thank GOD... Got all of my files.
    Spent some time on the phone with Apple Care... who was great to deal with but actually... not as helpful as I was hoping. It was suggested that I try DiskWarrior 4 to try to recover the files. $108 later, I had no files.
    More calls with Apple Care and they were pretty sure that everything was gone since once the External drive was installed, like a moron, I let TimeMachine go ahead and back up my new MacBook... so it overwrote who knows how many gig that was my entire MacBook.
    I wasn't giving up so I called Maxtor, the manufacturer of the external drive itself. They suggested file recovery software from I365... which is also a Seagate company (the makers of the drive). The suggested I simply use their demo because the demo version would find the files. If it found them, I could buy the software to restore them.
    It found them! Another $129 after and I was able to restore all of them back to my old PC laptop.
    NOW, I just need to figure out how to get the 50gig of HD video files off of my old laptop now and into my Mac and IMovie so I can actually make some DVDs out of them!
    I get that Macs and PCs are different formats but I think it is ridiculous that formatting still means basically just wiping out or at least treating massive lots of old data as if it isn't there. There's gotta be a better way to do that.

  • Does the blacklisted iphone works on wifi..?

    does the blacklisted iphone works on wifi..?

    They can do everything but activate the phone for cellular service. However, it can be shipped out of the country & then activated for cellular service...there is no International Blacklist.

  • Does the ipod touch itself need wifi in order to use find my iphone??

    My ipod touch 4g got stolen and i have find my iphone turned on but my question is does the ipod itself need wifi to track it down??  I've tried so many times i played sound, i have a passcode lock on it, i even sent a message to my ipod... But i try to locate it, it says it's offline.it down?? if so there's no way to point to try to find it Right??

    Change your iTunes (Apple ID) password along with any other password that was stored in the iPod.  If any passwords are associated with credit cards, contact the CC company and get your card replaced (with a new number).  If any passwords are associated with a bank or any other savings institution, contact them also and discuss approprate action with them.
    The "Find my..." function is pretty much useless if the device is in the hands of a thief.  All that is necessary is for the thief to connect to any computer with iTunes and "Restore as new."
    The only real protection you have is with the personal information on the device rather than the physical device itself.  This requires action before the device is lost/stolen.  If the device has significant personal information, it should have a strong 8-digit (or longer) password AND be configured for automatic wipe in the event of ten consecutive incorrect password entries.

  • Does the RE1000 create a second wifi network w seperate SSID?

    I just bought the Netgear and I don't like it because it creates a second wifi network with a second SSID. I just want to be on the same network and not have to associate all my devices with a second network.
    Does the RE1000 create a second SSID network?

    By default each wireless device has their own network name. You need to make sure that the RE1000 will have the same wireless settings as your Netgear router that way you will be able to extend the range of your network.

  • HT1515 how does the airport express make my wifi signal stronger?

    i am thinking about buying an airporst express because the wifi signal in my room is so slow. so i was wondering if i bought the device, how it would work and how is it conected to my main internet source?

    First, please understand that the AirPort Express will only "extend" a wireless signal from another Apple router. It will not work with a device from another manufacturer for this purpose.
    The Express "extends" a wireless signal by receiving, amplifying and re-broadcasting the original signal from the "main" Apple router. The result is a much stronger wireless signal with better wireless coverage. Although the Express can make the signal stronger, it cannot make it go faster. So, the Express needs to be located where it can receive a very strong signal from the main Apple router.

  • How can I activate Dreamweaver CS3 on a second Apple Mac when the original Mac has gone wrong?

    I have Dreamweaver CS3.
    I have used it on my laptop and my desktop Macs.
    In the past, I have simply deactivated it on one Mac to use it on the other.
    My laptop, which has Dreamweaver activated on it, has a graphics card problem and is in for repair.
    I cannot use the Dreamweaver installed on my desktop computer because I cannot de-activate it on the laptop (which is being repaired by Apple and which Apple say they can't access to de-activate it, because there is no screen display).
    This is obviously going to be a future problem if one of the Macs blows up while Dreamweaver is activated on it. I will not be able to use the Dreamweaver I bought nor service my website.
    Help! ?

    You could always download the trial version until the laptop is fixed. But, I don't know if you can even save a file from CS5 that would be compatible in 3.  It is sucky to not have the single user, two activation license. This is one of the things I applaud Adobe for. Most major software licenses are meant for a single machine, and not so concerned about users - that they know it's unlikely that several users would share a machine.it does happen, but it's also quite an inconvenience.  The two activation solution takes into account a more realistic scenario for a single user. The other option being used with some programs is the dongle, which I also like, even though many others don't for various and valid reasons. Anyway, I just looked at a page in cs4 and it doesn't really save in any particular version, HTML is HTML. I just don't know what will happen if someone goes to open it in CS3 - will it open less any CS4 code, not open, erase the code on save? Will it be the same for 5? Just wondering as you may be able to use the trial.

  • IPhone 4S wifi goes on and off repeatedly on it's own/other apple products doing the same

    Okay so I have WiFi problems and I can't seem to find anybody with the same problem as me. I've read many WiFi problems with iOS 6 on Apple Discussion Forums and also Googled it and none of the problems I've seen fit my category.
    Infact, my problem is not only with iOS 6 and iPhone. I also have the same problem with my MacBook (2009, OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.2) and also my iPad 2 on iOS 6.0.1.
    I know it's not my WiFi, as there are also 3 Windows computers that work perfectly fine on it and I have tinkered with the wifi and all three of the Apple devices.
    Here is the problem: I can connect to WiFi but the WiFi constantly 'flutters'. It goes on and off continuously. (The actual wifi option doesnt go off, the wifi bars disappear and reappear constantly) I do seem to get WiFi at other people's houses but not all.
    Note it's not just cosmetic, it actually stops my connection. Also, I've not updated to iOS 6.0.1 on my iPhone, I see no reason to at this point. It didn't fix the problem on the iPad and there are no WiFi fixes for the iPhone 4S in the iOS notes.
    This is something that I've dealt with since iOS 6 arrived. It's very aggrivating.
    Other problem: This one involves my MacBook and not my iOS devices. My MacBook doesn't seem to like certain WiFi connection either. (Including my home networks) It will connect to most open networks with no security options set, but does not connect to WPA2 Networks. It says "Could not join "NetWorkName" A connection time out occured." Also used Network Utility & Wifi Diagnostics, both useless to me for this problem. But the WiFi Scanner in Network Utility did show me that my home networks are infact working. Just that this particular computer wont connect to it (Unlike every other computer in the house)
    If anyone else is having this issue or has insight on the issue please let me know and if you have a fix or an idea of what might fix it, I'll give it a try, if I can and if I haven't already attempted it.

    Lol you're going to love this... the one reason I wouldn't upgrade iOS on my iPhone was the exact thing that was holding my wifi back? I just feel stubborn now. Anyway. Thank you brandon, for atleast attempting to help.
    UPDATE: After a while of hard headedness, I updated to iOS 6.0.1 and my wifi on my iPhone is working like a charm.
    Weirdly, I'm not sure it was the iOS update that changed things, as my MacBook is actually connecting perfectly aswell?
    Still no clue with the iPad. But no biggy. This is a huge change and one that I can definitely cope with.
    (Now watch it just be my router making me look like a fool.) Because I also restarted it about an hour ago. (Which I have done numerous times in the past months.)
    So I don't know what's going on but whatever it is, I'm happy with it right now. I will hope that it doesn't break down again after I post this.
    For anyone that might run into this problem later on, update your phone. >.< New lesson learnt.

  • TS1398 I have never had a problem with Apple. After the 7.02 update, my Wifi grayed out and would not turn on. Now my Wifi turns on but it will not connect. I even typed in the name and it still won't connect.  I have tried all of apple's solutions.

    I have tried all the solutions apple has offered online. I will not reset my phone to factory settings unless it is a last resort. What is Apple doing to fix this? I had my last Iphone last for more than 2 years and I hve had this one less than a year. My Wifi was greyed out and now it's on but won't connect or locate any networks (but if I keep switching it on and off it will freeze on me again). Does Apple have plans to fix this problem because I refuse to purchase a new phone?
    Are there any other new solutions to try in fixing the Wifi that doesn't require freezing or heating up the phone or switching to airplane mode and resetting the network settings as well making sure it's up todate or changing the apostrophe in the phone's name? My phone has never been dropped or damaged. Everyone around the world seems to be having this problem and Apple does not seem to be making a move to fix it? I use this phone for everything and 4g will only last so long before I reach my monthly limit. Please help!!!!!!!!!

    that makes no sense... it was only doing an update... if that's the case it should have promted me to back up first if this is even possible... there is a program that says it can recovery anything that hasn't been written over yet.. so would this not work? http://www.iphone-data-recovery.com/iphone-data-recovery.html   or would the apple store be able to recover it??? i've done plenty of data recovery on computers... why wouldn't it be possible on an Iphone... does apple seriously not care about thier customers at all??? how about thier employees that are gonna get more than an earful tomorrow when I walk in there store??? No wonder samsung paid 2 million to apple in pennies when they got sued... (how does it feel to be screwed with apple?!)

  • Why Apple/MAC does not offer server mounting application?

    I am very disappointed to see that MAC /Apple does not offer simple server mounting application.
    It is a  very basic facility provided in Linux. I am forced to use third party stuff like OSXFuse which still is not a permanent solution.
    Hope someone at Apple could fix it.

    I do not understand your question.  Do you want to mount file servers that DO NOT support CIFS/SMB or Apple Filing Protocol (AFP)?
    Or do you want to mount file system formats not supported by Mac OS X (ext[234], btrfs, ZFS, etc...)?
    Can you please clarify your question.
    Finder -> Go -> Connect to server... will allow connecting to file servers via CIFS/SMB or AFP protocols.
    Mac OS X will try to mount any directly attached file system (HFS+, NTFS (readonly), FAT, FAT32, exFAT).
    What are you trying to mount?
    NOTE:  No one in Mac OS X software development visits here.  This is a User-to-User forum.  You can send your feedback to:
    <http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html>
    You will not get a reply, but it will be read by someone inside Apple.  I suggest you provide more details on what you desire, as they will not start a dialog with you as I'm trying to do.

  • Why does my mac ask for my password when automatic login is configured,it only happens every so often but when it does the it also shows no wifi installed

    my mac is configured for automatic log in,but whenever i do not use it for a day orso it asks for my password to login,at the same time it states that there is no wifi installed ,i have to login and then reboot which is a pain.when checking disk permissions it states the SUID FILE has been altered and wont be ghanged back .any answers please.

    May be better off with a new battery.
    Hope everything turns out right.

  • Apple Mac in the enterprise

    looking at configuration scripts for Mac's in the enterprise. Is there any script config to show spotlight permanently on the desktop or dock?

    Spotlight is already present in the top right corner of the MenuBar.
    ¿Are you seriously going to force all your your users do endure a desktop Icon for Spotlight?
    If you gave me a Mac configured that way, I would be in your office within five minutes demanding that it be removed.
    Different people work in different ways, and your job would be easier if you just provided the tools and a little coaching about where to find them than to tell people how to do their work.
    There are number of Mac OS X Server features that can be deployed to restrict and expand what Mac Users can do in well-tested, reliable, and expected ways. WorkGroup Manager is the key to using these, even if you are not deploying Mac OS X Server.
