Imac intel - which wireless option compatible with mac/pc

I really appreicate some advice about going wireless. I am on telewest broadband (now virgin broadband) I have an imac intel which has an Aiport card inside. See below:
AirPort Card Information:
Wireless Card Type: AirPort Extreme (0x14E4, 0x89)
Wireless Card Locale: Worldwide
Wireless Card Firmware Version: Broadcom BCM43xx 1.0 (4.80.79.1)
Wireless compatibility with Mac and PC
My son has a pc laptop (will wireless automatically see both mac and pc in the same house?)
I have been googling without success - because a lot of the jargon is beyond me.
Hope this is okay to post here.
IMac Intel Mac OS X (10.4.9) purchased early 2006

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
You might find that MacCam (http://webcam-osx.sourceforge.net/) can help with a compatible driver for that device - it's by no means sure, but the MacCam project does support a number of Logitech USB webcams.

    The apple iPod would be my best guess, however I don't own any apple products!
    Your question is now located in the webOS section of the HP Forum.  There were no webOS "PDA's", only phones and a tablet.

  • Wireless printer compatible with mac book pro

    what wireless all in one printer is compatible with a mac book pro(snow leopard)

    You would use AirPort Utility for this. It's located as follows on your Mac:
    Hard Drive > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Click Manual Setup
    Click the Wireless tab below the row of icons on the setup page
    Click the Options button
    The option to create a "closed" or "hidden" network should appear. If the box is checked, uncheck it to perhaps help your printer find the wireless network
    If you can connect to your wireless with your computer, you know the wireless is working correctly. You should probably contact HP for additional assistance as this appears to be an printer issue, not an AirPort Extreme issue.

  • Which Elements are compatible with mac os 10.6.8?

    I have Photoshop Elements_3, which is giving me a licensing message and won't allow use. If I get a newer version, which one would be best? My system is too old to support the newest version, I think.

    v11 will work on 10.6.8,  The v12 Editor will work on 10.6.8 but not the Organizer.

  • Which printer is compatible with Mac OS X 10.7.5?

    I am using a HP Photosmart C5580 All-in-One with my computer, which gives alot of problems when I am printing. Don't know why, but it takes quite a while before I can get a document printed.   Any suggestions?  Usually a blue light is displayed with letters and numbers on the printer's screen.

    I have an HP LaserJet 200 color M251nw that has worked flawlessly with Lion through Yosemite, and is AirPrint enabled so it prints from my iPad and iPhone.

  • Which DVDs are compatible with Mac?

    DVD-R or DVD+R?? I've searched the forum discussions & there seem to be conflicting views. I thought it was DVD-R, but I've had some problems burning these. Can anyone advise me which is the best type to get?

    It is not so much the type of DVD that matter, but the brand.
    Most of here use Verbatim or Taiyo Yuden. Maxell are also OK. Most other brands have poor quality coatings, which is what matters.
    Moreover, they should be burned at a slow burn speed of 2x or 4x.
    More information on DVD-R v. DVD+R here:

    and (about coating quality):

    and that last article includes information on where (in the US) you can buy Taiyo Yuden media.
    Also, this guide to what brands of DVD are the most reliable (and who makes them) is invaluable:

  • Which USB 64GB flash drives are compatible with Mac Mini?

    I need to use a USB 64GB flash drive, formatted for both PC and Apple, with my Mac Mini. The largest USB flash that Apple sells is 32GB. Which USB 64GB flash drives are compatible with Mac Mini. If most are, are there any that I should avoid? Thanks.

    I'm assuming that when I connect the USB to the Mac it gets formatted for Mac. Then I follow your directions and it gets formatted for Windows, in addition to Mac. I'd choose ExFAT since it is a 64GB USB.
    No no. A brand new drive will be formatted as "something", most likely something for Windows, and that could be FAT (which a Mac can also read and write to) or NTFS (which a Mac can read but not write to).
    So, you'll need to make sure it's formatted as ExFAT, instead of what it is. A medium can be in always only one format.
    About the expense: Fry's is advertising a 64GB Patriot USB Flash Drive for $22.99. Is that considered expensive for a USB flash drive?
    That'd be dirt-cheap, I'd say. Expect it to be very slow.
    I've read answers that are somewhat related to my question, and some warn that USB's are slow. Maybe I should consider another option?
    USB is not that slow (though there are faster buses). And USB flash drives come in different speeds, where especially the "write" speed can vary hugely.
    The advantage of USB is that it's widely spread, and lots of media is on the market, making it very affordable. The only other affordable alternative is an external HDD, I'd say, where you get much bigger drives for less money than a small 64GB USB flash drive...
    My main objective is that, in switching from Windows to Mac, I want to be able to access Windows files that I've backed up to a Seagate Free Agent. I bought a LaCie with the Mac Mini, but will still want to use the Free Agent. I need to reformat the Free Agent for the Mac (hopefully for Mac and Windows; while learning to use the Mac and Numbers and Pages I may have emergency jobs that I'll need to do with Excel and Word on the PC), so my plan is to move the files on the Free Agent to the 64GB flash drive, reformat the Free Agent so that, hopefully, the Mac will read the files on it after I move them back to the Free Agent from the USB.
    Why don't you copy the content of the Free Agent meanwhile to the Mac's HDD? Then copy it back after re-formatting the Free Agent? Why would you need an extra USB drive?
    Any ideas you have about how to achieve this objective will be appreciated. Maybe I should buy a third, small, external hard drive? Maybe there is a way to move the Windows files from the Seagate to the LaCie?
    Exactly... you seem to have already extra space on the LaCie drive...
    My understanding is that the Apple Store does not want to move files from an external hard drive to the Mac.
    I don't know where this could origin, but that's as wrong as it is funny. What has the App Store to do with you moving some files from one drive to another?
    I should add that I don't have enough remaining free space on the PC hard drive to hold the files on the Free Agent, so that is not an option.
    No, but you have a Mac with a built-in HDD, and you got the LaCie drive. Again, the Mac should have neither a problem to read from the Free Agent, nor to write to the LaCie.
    From what you're telling here, you have lots of space already with what you have, I can't see the need for the USB flash drive, at least not for the purpose you mention here.
    It seems that your understanding is that (a) a drive comes in a particular format for, or not for Mac, and you can't change it, and (b) that for some reason (App Store?!) Macs aren't allowed to copy files from external files. Well, both is wrong...

    Any device that Palm manufaturers currently should be able to get the data from the older device.
    Although Palm doesn't make handhelds anymore you can get a smartphone and transfer the data over to it without issue.
    If you go to the new WebOS you can transfer the data over it just might take a little work.

  • Can I mount my external hard drive which will be compatible with both Mac and Windows?

    Hello,
    Can I mount my external hard drive which will be compatible with both Mac and Windows? If yes, then please let me know, because I intend to use my hard drive for both Windows and Mac, without losing any file.

    Yes. By default, Mac OS X and Windows can read and write drives which are formatted as FAT32 or exFAT; NTFS drives aren't writable from Mac OS X without additional software.
