I have a Power Mac G4 running 10.5.8 (circa 2002).  Can I buy a card that will allow me to activate Wi-FI?

Hello:
Here's what I hope to do.  I want to be able to transfer photos from an Eye-Fi card in a digital camera to my oldish Power Mac G4 running 10.5.8.  I don't have wi-fi capability in the computer now but was hoping that I can buy a card to give the machine this capability?  Anyone know what I should be looking to buy?
Sincerely:
Michael

There's always one of these if your running 10.5.8...

System Requirements
Mac® Requirements: Mac OS X 10.5.x and later** (OSX 10.5.x is supported for both PowerPC and Intel).
Windows® Requirements: Windows XP and later
An available USB port
I even got one of these to work in 10.5.8...

But hard to find the drivers...

  • I am currently running OS X 10.5.8 on my MacBook (early 2008) and want to know if I can upgrade to a version that will allow me to use iCloud to sync with my new iPad?

    I am currently running OS X 10.5.8 on my MacBook (early 2008) and want to know if I can upgrade to a version that will allow me to use iCloud to sync with my new iPad?

    I believe to use iCloud you need to run at least Lion (10.7). (Only the Find My iPhone or Find My Mac parts of iCloud work with OS earlier than 10.7/Lion).
    I think you can run Lion but you should check each of the following:
    "To use Lion, make sure your computer has the following:
    An Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    Mac OS X v10.6.6 or later to install via the Mac App Store (v10.6.8 recommended); you can install without Mac OS X v10.6 by using an OS X Lion USB Thumb Drive, available on the Apple Online Store
    7 GB of available disk space
    2 GB of RAM
    If your Mac does not meet these requirements, you will need to upgrade your Mac before installing Lion"
    You have a Core 2 Duo. You can upgrade to 10.6 and then install Lion, or use the thumb drive approach mentioned above (thumb drive Lion costs about $70 I think). You need to check your RAM to see if you have enough.
    Folks have reported that 4 GB RAM is really a minimum for a decent experience with Lion.
    For Mountain Lion, see this ( http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5444 ) for what you need to have to install OS 10.8. I don't think you can use Mountain Lion (10.8) with your early 2008 Macbook.

  • I have a Power Mac G4 running Tiger that will not open Classic 9.1

    I have an old Power Mac G4 Running OSX 10.4.11 that would run Classic 9.1. I haven't used the computer in a long time, but am trying now, and Classic will not start. I get no alerts, besides one that says "You have Mac OS 9.1 Installed. It's recommended that you upgrade to Mac OS 9.2" With "OK" as the only option. Afterwards it just goes to the start up screen for Classic and the blue bar doesn't move, but flickers. I have tried restarting, and all extensions are off. I don't know what else to do. Does anyone have any suggestions??

    You'll need to copy these files onto your computer in Mac OS 9 to be able to extract the 9.2.1 update, install it, and then the 9.2.2 update and install it:

  • HT1338 I have a Power Mac G5 running 10.4 and am trying to upgrade OS.  Need Help.

    I have a Power Mac G5 with an OS 10.4; what upgraces are available?

    Leopard 10.5.8 is the last operating system a PowerPC Mac can be upgraded to.
    Everything else newer requires Intel.
    The DVD for Leopard are getting expensive since Aple has stopped producing them.

  • I have a power mac G4. OS 10.4.11 I just got a new iphone G3S what will it take to get my phone to sync with itunes?

    I have a power mac G4 OS 10.4.11  I just purchased a new iphone G3S how can I get it to sync to itunes? When I try I get a message that I need OS 10.5  can I load 10.5 on it? can I still buy 10.5 ?
    CPU speed 800mhz
    memory 512

    Don't fret.
    Find a copy of Leopard (call Apple Customer Support and tell them that you have a machine that can't run Snow Leopard).
    You could also go to eBay.
    After that, install it:

    Leopard will run fine in a 800 MHz machine.

  • If I would like to have all opened tabs in my browser stop loading a webpage is their a shortcut key that will allow this?

    If I open too many Bookmarked pages into tabs my browser will hang and then sometimes crash or close unexpectedly.
    If I bring up task manager or use the Alt + Tab I can navigate to the window and right-click and choose restore to allow me to see the window again. This needs to be done if I load more than 10 pages at once. Is there a way to choose to prevent loading of all opened tabs and then choose which tabs I'm currently working with to load the webpage? I would like to know how to use a shortcut key on my keyboard to select all tabs as ctrl + A does not work and then escape or another key tells to stop all pages from loading in each tab as with all the ads, gifs, videos, and internet spam keeps growing it is too much of a strain to have multiple webpages opened in tabs on the browser.
    I use Win XP SP2 and I am eagerly waiting a solution as it has been an issue with even previous versions of Firefox however IE could only have about 3 tabs opened and then would crash that is why I stick with Firefox as my browser of choice.

  • I have a Power Mac G5 - How can I run Matrox MX02 mini max

    I have a Power Mac G5 Running Mac OSX 10.5.8 I recently got the MX02 Mini Max by Matrox to run my Final Cut Studio application version 6.6 and Im having problems with the pci board that comes with the matrox unit ( it does not fit in the mother board) how would i be able to use this with out connecting the pci board into my mother board on my Mac.?

    Can't use it with a G5.
    System requirements are Mac Pro and Intel-based MacBook Pro running Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.6 or higher.
    IF (big if) the card is PPC Mac compatible, only Late 2005 G5 machines have PCIe. All other G5s are PCI.
    The Matrox card is PCIe, not PCI.

    Hi Mary, the other so called "Features" of iClound will not work for like Syncing, but eMail will.

  • I have an older Power Mac G5 running 10.4 11.  When I open Keychain it is locked and won't open on restart or when I use my administrator password

    I have an older Power Mac G5 running 10.4 11.  Key chain seems to have locked itself ?  When I go to open Keychain it is locked and won't open on restart or when I use my administrator password.  I thought the keychain password was the administrator's password and that it would open on restart.  If this isn't correct, how can I open Keychain ?

  • I have a Power Mac G4 1.25 Ghz 1 GIG Ram, what is the latest OS X I can run?

    I have a Power Mac G4 1.25 Ghz 1 GIG Ram, what is the latest OS X I can run?  I am currently running Jaquar.  Where can you obtain older versions of OS X?

    Actually you can run up to Leopard 10.5. It requires a G4 867mHz processor so you are comforatbly over the minimum specs.
    That said, I offer two caveats regarding Leopard that may make Tiger 10.4 more appealing:
    1) Leopard may want more than 1G RAM. With currently available modules, you can take your Max RAM to 2GB. You can install up to 2GB RAM.
    2) If you don't have a video card that supports Core Image, things can be choppy. My 1.25 G4 is a tad sluggish with Leo because I have the original ATI Radeon 9000 64MB VRAM vid card. If you have a Redeon 9600 or higher, you likely have Core Image Support. Use System Profiler to Identify your exact video card. SP is in Applications > Utilities. Select "Graphics/Displays" from SP's "Contents" pane on the left to view the specs of your card in the main pane. It wil tell you if Core Image is supported.
    If you can get Leo running fine, it's better in that many programs no longer support 10.4.
    Looks like yo uare in the Continental US. Call Apple at 800-MY-APPLE and ask for an operating system specialist. Tell them you need 10.5 to support new hardware. I bought that way in March, and it sounded like they wre going to keep Leo in stock for a whie because of the larger number of olders Macs that can;t run Snow Leopard or Lion.
    Be very, very careful of Mac OS software on auction sites. I've seen too many that were improperly described and would not work. Likewise the gray Leopard install disk that came packed with another Mac model won't work.
    I just checked--OWC does not list any Apple System software at this time.

  • I have a power mac and the hard drive is about to die, i have a new hard drive to install, i know how to remove and put the old in the second space and load the new one, then what...when do reinstall the OS and transfer data from old drive

    I have a power mac, the hard drive is struggling, I have a new hard drive ready to install, after I pull the old one and put the new one it's place and place the old one in the next slot ready to transfer data....how do I start this next step.  Do I down load OS, and go to utililities...please just a step by step after hard drives in position.

    Hi Susan, you must have a Mac Pro, Powermacs cannot run 10.6.x
    Anyway, once you Install the new drive, you likely must Format it...
    How to format your disks...

    (To Install OSX on an IntelMac the Drive it needs the GUID Partitioning scheme mentioned at the bottom.)
    Thanks to Pondini, Formatting,  Partitioning, Verifying,  and  Repairing  Disks...

    Then Install the OS & on first boot of the new install, after a step or two, avail yourself of Migration Assistant & Migrate everything.

  • I have a power mac G5 and want to play sims 3 on it.

    I have a power mac G5 and want to play sims 3 on it. When I click on the disk from the desktop it says "you can not open the application the sims 3 installer, because its not supported on this architecture." How can I fix and or resolve this issue? Thanks in advance! Connor

    Sorry, but The Sims 3 require an Intel CPU Mac running OS X Leopard  10.5.7 or greater.
    Your G5 is IBM PowerPC Mac and therefore will not run on that hardware architecture.
    No workarounds. You need a newer Intel Mac to play this version of The Sims.
