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.

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. -

i can't reedem my itunes gift card please help me
What happens when you try to redeem it ? Are you getting any error messages ?
Depending upon what the problem is, if this page doesn't help then you will need to try contacting iTunes Support (you will probably need to give them images of the front and back of the card, and possibly its receipt) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then iTunes Cards And Codes -

I still don't know which version of OSX you have but assuming it's 10.7 or 10.8 .....
You need to press command-R (at the sound of the chime) to get into recovery, try that, if it does not work try command-option-R for Internet Recovery. -
How do I install the iOS 4.3 on my iPhone 3GS ? I've tried direct links but they it says safari cannot install this ? Please help !
You can not install anything but the current version of iOS. If you have a 3Gs, then you can install 6.0.1 by plugging it into your computer running iTunes (10.7 or higher). If you have a 3G, 4.2.1 is the end of the line.

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? -
Appletalk laserwriter won't print over airport wireless. please help.
i have an old apple personal laserwriter 320 which prints plug and play to my G5 (10.4.4) connecting ethernet (appletalk on) with asantetalk adapter. no problems at all.
i like to share this printer wirelessly by connecting it an airport express base station.
i cannot get my network of powerbook and G5 (all 10.4.4) to print to it, they cannot see it.
1. can it be used wirelessly with the airport express base station?
2. what about airport extreme base station?
3.i turned on appletalk in airport under network settings. how about under airport admin utilities?
i must be setting the network configurations wrong, or is it appletalk or the asantetalk ethernet adapter?
can someone please help me through this setup?Well, I use an HP-6MP with an AsanteTalk hooked to an Airport Extreme Base Station and I use Tiger 10.4.4 and everything works fine. My wife's dual USB iBook, circa 2001, with an internal airport card, uses the HP printer with no problems. The same setup works with OS 9 too.
I also have an Airport Express hooked up to my livingroom stereo that I use with both iTunes and AirFoil. I've never tried using the Airport Express with the AsanteTalk, but I can't imagine that it wouldn't work since it works with the AEBS.
The startup routine is touchy, the printer has to be allowed to fully complete its warmup cycle before powering up the AsanteTalk. Try disconnecting the power to the AsanteTalk for about 10 seconds while everything else is hooked and powered up, then reconnect the power, the lights should flash on the AsanteTalk, then open the Printer Setup Utility, wait about 10 seconds and the printer should then appear, if it isn't there already. When we have power outages from say thunderstorms, I often have to recycle the AsanteTalk's power because when the power comes back on, it completes it startup cycle before the HP does and printer setting disappears.
It's not a matter of adding AppleTalk to the AEBS or Airport Express. There are no options for that. The settings are only in the computer network/airport settings. Both of your computers need to be configured to have AppleTalk active under the Airport network settings.
And as mentioned before, don't use the yellow ethernet cord. -
My 880GMA-E45 won't read Windows 7 Install disc! Please help me!!!
Hello everyone! I bought an MSI 880GMA-E45 mobo a few days ago and until now, I can't find a way to install Windows 7 Ultimate on the thing. I tried installing Vista Starter and it worked perfectly. I also installed Ubuntu 10.04 from a USB stick, and it also worked fine (on the 2nd attempt). But I've been trying my darndest to install Windows 7, which is going to be the system's main OS, and it seems to refuse to read the installation disc.
I installed Vista, booted up, then inserted the Win 7 disc, and it still can't be seen in My Computer!!! Is this a common problem with this mobo or did I get a bum board? I've tried changing DVD drives (several times) to no avail.
I've been at it for the 3rd day now, still no luck with Windows 7. Please help. I know I'm doing the installation correctly since I got Vista installed on it 3 times already and Ubuntu twice. I've done numerous Win 7 installations on other PCs but this is the first time that I've had problems like this. I'm really at the end of my wits here...
BTW, the Windows 7 Installation disc works file when I tested it on another machine, so that can't be the problem.
Here's the setup:
MSI 880GMA-E45
AMD Athlon II x2 245
Gskill Ripjaws X 2x2Gb DDR3-1333
Nvidia GTX-460 1Gb Video Card (I tried it with and without this installed)
WD Caviar Green 1Tb HDD (Where Vista is right now)
Seagate 160Gb Barracuda SATA (Where Ubuntu is)
3 x 80Gb Eaglestor SATA HDDs (to be installed as a RAID0 array and where Windows 7 will go)Quote from: Fredrik on 18-October-11, 23:32:59
" Hello!
You most likely have a memory problem. Use as little hardware as possible when installing, and only one of everything, no extra cards or USB things. One stick of memory for example, and should the problem remain try the other. "
Hello Fredrik!
I tried that already using 4 sticks of RAM inserted one at a time. It didn't work either.
I already found the solution! Here's everything I did in detail...
On another computer, I formatted a USB stick using NTFS, then made it bootable using DISKPART and BOOTSECT. I wasn't sure if those bootable USB stick software would give the same result. In my case, I wanted everything to be as basic and as native Windows as possible.
Then copied all the contents of the Windows 7 installer disc to the USB stick, inserted the stick to one of the the rear USB ports in my PC, then booted from there. I didn't set the BIOS boot from the stick anymore. I just used F11 instead. It booted up properly, then went on to install Windows normally. I just had to have the RAID drivers on the USB stick as well, since I knew Windows would be looking for it from all the Vista installs I made earlier...
Now, everything works as it should.
BTW, is there a problem with this mobo and IDE DVD drives? That was one of my theories. Since all the DVD drives I used in the failed installations of Win 7 were IDE drives except one, which was an external USB drive. It didn't occur to me to try and use a SATA DVD drive. Besides, I didn't have access to SATA DVD drives at the time anyway, so I had no choice. Do you think it could have worked?
Also, I emailed MSI tech support who suggested I flash the BIOS. It didn't work either and the mobo ended up not booting and getting stuck after POSTing at the "Checking NVRAM" message, so I reflashed it to the original BIOS version.
I hope my mis-adventures with this mobo and my solution would be of help to someone someday as I don't think this is an isolated case. I seem to have read somewhere in a forum about a similar problem that happened several months back but the thread was closed without the solution being posted.
Thank you to everyone who gave their opinions!
PS: I almost bought a new Gigabyte motherboard earlier today because I was already getting frustrated with this one. Good thing I didn't.... -
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.

I updated to Itunes 10.6.1.7. over 6 months ago on my Mindows XP desktop. It has worked well.
Recently, on startup, a dialogue box appeared which read: "Itunes was nor properly installed. If
you wish to burn or import CDs you have to re-install Itunes." I attempted to upgrade to V 11.0.1
which ended with an error message and a code 2330. I have abandoned that idea. I would like to
re-install V10.6.1.7 or update to 10.6.3. but where do I find these old versions? Which do I use,
32 or 64 bit?
Please help.
Konogboki 1968I attempted to upgrade to V 11.0.1
which ended with an error message and a code 2330.
That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?
