I need to re-install airport card

Hello all,
I was trying to update my macbook pro (software update) and after the update was completed the i could not connect to my wireless network any more due to the fact that my airport card was missing. How it happened i do not know.
I need to re-install to be able to access the internet via a wireless network.
Regards

Duane,
I have just purchased an AirPort Express and I am trying to set it up! I can't get anything from it when I run the setup, just what I have mentioned previously. The express plugs in and had previously been recognized. Then I tried to hook up and installed printer to it HP 5610, and now it just blinks yellow and the Setup Assistant will not even run. I tried to uninstall the HP program and also the new programs for the AirPort Express, and think I really messed it up. Now I am just trying to get it back in shape. I am pretty sure that the HP printer will not work after some research on the web, so I am not concerned about, will just exchange it for another model. I am really concerned about getting the AirPort Extreme back in order and communicating with my Express.
Thank you again, and glad to be here

Mac pro part# FA356LL/A - need to add compatible Airport card?

Mac pro part# FA356LL/A (refurbished i think changes the part number from MA356LL/A)- but im not sure...
I need to know what airport card it can take? 802.11b/g/ or n
It never had one and was always used via network cable. Now i want it to have wireless access to the internet.
any advice, thank you

You can use an AirPort 802.11n card so long as it is the right model.

That link is what you want I think. Of course you can find it else where as well, but that should include the part number to help refine your search.

I have an iMac G4 and need to connect it to the internet. Do I need to buy an airport card or can I just use a normal USB wifi stick?

Will this need to be a special mac compatible one or will they all be fine?
You need to see "works on Mac" on the box. All such deveices require a driver. The adaptor would work in many cases except for the lack of Mac drivers. Some companies have the proper Mac drivers on their web sites, some shuffle you off to suspect third-party sites, and some have no Mac drivers at all. If you want to buy one adaptor, not have to return it or send hours searcing the web for a driver that works, look at this one:

It is best for iMacs with USB 2.0 ports. If you have only USB 1.1 ports, you can save money with this one:

G4 867 installed airport card

I installed airport card and cant connect to my wifi and does not show me available networks

Hi Mike, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Is your Network 802.11b capable?
Is the Antenna connected?
Does your Network use WPA2? If so, that Aiport card can only do WPA or WEP.

Installing airport card - iMac G5 with 10.3.9

No airport card is yet installed on my iMac G5 machine. I'd like to use it as a base station for a wireless network with a new MacBook Pro equipped with Airport Extreme.
Which airport card would I need to install in the iMac, where would I find such -- and will the wireless connection work given the iMac's 10.3.9 OS? My ISP is ATT, bless their cyber hearts...

An Airport Extreme card is required. There are a number of different ones that could work, but I don't have information on the particular type. You would need to open it up to see what the slot for it looks like and the physical space available. I would assume those models use a mini-PCI card. You also need to check if antennae are already installed in the computer, otherwise you will need them as well.

Need Instructions for installing AE card in dual G5 tower

I need instructions for installing a AE card in a dual 2 GHZ powermac G5. I understand I need to also install an external antenna. Since I do not have an antenna where is the best source for the antenna, apple or an outside vendor. My G5 is presently connected to a netgear router and I want to use the AE card to communicate with an airport express base station with airtunes connected to my stereo receiver. Would this create a conflict since my computer is connected to the netgear router. Any help would be appreciated.

You are going to need the t-shaped external aerial otherwise this is not going to work. Even though your PowerMac did not come with an Airport Extreme Card built in, it would have been supplied with the aerial.
You will need to find a replacement.

I am presuming that your Netgear is not wireless.
Can you connect the Airport Express to the router are do you want it in a different room?
You will be able to be connected to the router and AX at the same time, but in order to avoid internet and network issues, you should ensure that built-in-ethernet is above Airport in the network configurations.

Installed airport card into my imac G4 flat panel and now it work

I purchased an airport card from Mac-pro as Apple does not sell them anymore. I installed it into my IMAC G4 flat panel as per the instructions. Now, when I turn on the computer the power light comes on, and the screen is black and it really isn't making any noise, as though it is not starting up. It was working just fine before I installed this card!!!! can anyone help??!?!?!?!?

The following Apple article provides the details of
installing an AirPort card in the Flat Panel iMac
G4s. You may want to double-check it to see if you
might have missed something in the the installation
process.
I installed the card properly, as per the instructions you forwarded to me. I did have some trouble getting the card to completly fit into place, one side seemed to go in easier than the other, but it did go in. Is there anyway to get this machine up and running again?

Blue Screen Stuck... Installed airport card into Power Mac G4,

everything was working fine. I got online, was downloading software updates while surfing the net, then I get a small black screen that tells me I need to restart my computer in several languages.
Now the computer only gets to the blue screen, the grey spinning dial/thinking wheel goes for a bit then its just BLUE... What has happened?
Does this have anything to do with electrical charges?
Didi I cause this by inserting the Airport Card? I didn't touch any other part of the machine.
I did not unplug the monitor only the ac cord.
Please give me some good news...

Hi-
You have had a kernel panic. These are caused by software, or, hardware problems.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106227
Your first suspect would be the Airport card. To be sure, you need to examine the library/logs in Console. If you can get a copy of the panic log that coincides with the kernel panic, it will offer some clues as to the problem.
You could just remove the Airport card, and see if the system returns to normal. But, there may be other causes.
Try a safe boot. Restart, and immediately after the tone, hold down the shift key:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107393
If you are able to boot, check the logs in Console.
If not, try a single user boot, and run fsck. Restart, and immediately hold down "Cmd + s" keys.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107393
Whe the command line appears, type /sbin/fsck -fy and press return.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Repeat until the "volume is OK" report is returned.
For now, see what the results of the above are, and please post back.
For further troubleshooting of kernel panics, see the following:
http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/kernelpanics.html
If you haven't already, disconnect all third party devices, both internal and external.

Just installed airport card but can't get a solid signal

a few weeks ago an electrical storm blew out my ehternet port. i consulted a mac genius at the apple store and decided to avoid replacing my logic board by getting an airport card and wireless router. After installing this business last night i was delighted to see full bars on the signal icon. but then it instantly dropped to two bars. then none. then a few minutes later back to two, full, none, etc. My computer and the wireless router are pretty much right next to eachother- i'm not splitting the cable between my machine and anything else (no other computers, not the tv). can anyone suggest what might be causing the signal problem? there's a major heatwave, would that cause problems? also, should i have looked into getting an aditional ethernet card instead? i'm desparately trying to avoid taking my machine out of my house (it's a desktop and i live in Queens so it's a b-tch to take into the city) so i'm really hoping to make this wireless buisness work. thanks so much!

j9fleri, Welcome to the discussion area!
One (or more) of the following must be true:
The antenna wire isn't properly attached to the AirPort card. Is this the original AirPort card or the AirPort Extreme card? If it is the AirPort Extreme card, use the photos in KB 108039, Properly attaching the antenna on an AirPort Extreme Card to verify that the antenna wire is properly installed.
You are experiencing some sever RF interference. See KB 58543, AirPort: Potential sources of interference.
The wireless router isn't working properly.

Installing airport card: please help me!

I have put it into my friends clamshell ibook g3,..following the right instructions for physical installation under the keyboard,. but when i turn on the laptop, no new hardware is detected, and there is none in the system properties, or whatever its called,.. So basically nothing happens,. Additionally, the software in the CD is already on the computer (as it is Mac OS X 10.3.9). Any ideas? Any weblinks that have more detailed advice about these problems? Is there any way of finding out if the card just doesnt work?
Thanks very much,
Michael

You should be looking to setup the airport card through the Network preference in System Preferences. Select "Airport" from the "Show" popup menu. You may have to "Select Network Port Configurations" from the "Show" popup and check "Airport" first in order for it to appear in in the "Show" popup.
Additionally System Profiler should list the Airport Card under the network area.
Note: there is no "new hardware detected" notification after installing new hardware under MOSX as there is in Windows.

Older G4 with newly installed airport card

I recently installed an airport card into my G4. Everything works fine while I am using the ethernet.(cable down the hallway to my room) But when I try and use the airport card wirelessly to my router it does not work. It says it can not be found. My macbook pro works fine using the wireless connection as does my printer. Even when my G4 is sitting beside the router its a no go.

An airport extreme card, inside of a G5 PowerMac Tower, requires an
antenna; this usually sticks out the back and looks a bit like a "T" handle.
I'm not sure of the part number or if a reseller has them in stock.
I've seen elsewhere in these Discussion forums someone had
posted an image and more information about the OEM antenna.

Arrgh! (installed Airport card G4867... not showing up!)

i installed an airport card (salvaged from my powerbook g3) into my desktop G4867. every now and then (more so every time i boot up), the airport card isn't recognized by the computer.
what gives?
i've repaired disk permissions, reset pram, opened the machine up to make sure the connections are solid, etc.
"help!"

I'd get them to send you another card. If it works, great! If not, then the connection on the computer is bad. If that's the case, you can get a wireless PCI card or a wireless USB adapter, but the PCI card would be better. Test it with another Airport card first though.

How do I get my newly installed airport card to work with SKY?

+This question was originally posted on the G5 iMac section, but I think in retrospect it would be better here. Sorry for my mistake Administrator+.
Here's an interesting one for all you good people. Just bought and paid for an airport extreme card to pop into my little lad's G5 iMac, running Tiger(gggrrrrrrrr etc).
Managed to install it without a hitch.
Trouble is when I try and set it up to work with my SKY router (UK) it keeps telling me that my password is incorrect. The fibber! I know it IS correct as it is the one that SKY gave us and that we have successfully connected both my wife's MacBook and my own MacBook Pro with.
I have tried messing about with all kinds of configurations, but the set up assistants seem more bothered about yapping on about airport base-stations and computer-to-computer networks.
Now don't go telling me I need to get a base station to make it work. Please.
Can anyone offer some sound advice?
It does work on and off though. It works more often when the other Macs in the house are running (What-the-flip???)

You can't. Theoretically, Thunderbolt devices that only transfer video and audio should work with Mini DisplayPort MacBooks like yours, but it's not the case of the Thunderbolt Display. Its firmware doesn't allow it to be used with non-Thunderbolt Macs, so you can't use the Thunderbolt Display with the Mid 2010 MacBook Pro.
Instead, you have to look for another screen, or you can get an adapter and connect the MacBook Pro to a TV

Got a new Mac Pro 2008 - need to install an Airport card

Hello all,
To ensure quickest delivery I opted for the standard config new Mac Pro 8 core (early 2008). I did the same with my G5 4 years ago an installed an Airport Extreme card (with some difficulty !). Apparently the card in my G5 is not compatible with the Mac Pro. I cannot find any official reference to installing an Airport Extreme card in a Mac Pro…just a couple of 'hacks'. Apparently Apple doesn't want users to do this anymore.
Q1/ What card do I need ?
Q2/ I see 3 antenna connections labelled 1, 2 and 3 on the cables. One is for Bluetooth apparently…but which one ?
Would very much appreciate any help.
thanks in advance
PA

kura,
I ordered my Mac Pro with standard conf for the same reasons you did. I also discovered, as you did, that the newest Mac Pro required a different airport card and that installing the card doesn't appear to be user-friendly. I since found the following web site which presented installation procedure:
http://meanderingpassage.com/2007/07/18/how-to-installing-an-airport-extreme-car d-in-an-intel-mac-pro/
I also was able to order the correct card (part number MB363Z/A) through a local Mac reseller although I see that it is available from other sources including Amazon (will ship from J&R).
I ordered the card yesterday but the dealer said that it was in stock and would take a few days to arrive so I have yet to actually install it.
Having installed airport cards on a number of other Macs I've owned, it is baffling that Apple would make this so darned difficult and awkward. In retrospect I should have ordered it as a build and had Apple install it but it is what it is.
Hope this helps -
