Installing Airport Extreme Card in new Mac Pro 2008?

Hello, I bought the upgrade kit for the airport wireless n up at the apple store and I am trying to install it in my new Mac Pro 2.8 octo.
I found where to install it and I did install it but Im not getting any connect at all, though it says airport is on. I installed the software on from the CD it came with also. I am using a D-Link Xtreme Router model 655.
I read on another forum post that you might have to install a wire for the antenna on top of the card. I didn't see any wire when I installed so maybe that applied to the older mac pros..
any help would be appreciated.
These cards are compatible with my router right? I know my macbook pro n wireless connects fine.
Thanks!

hi kevin.
I also bought air mac card at apple store of japan.
And I installed that card at my new macpro by myself.
Apple store's genius people said to me, its installment takes 30min,so
I tried intalled airmac card and working normally in now.
But this is not customer install part.I think. They did not gave any install
manual for this part.
So I installed this part at mac but it was not working at that time.
After googling,I found some miss at my work. That is not connecting cables at network card.
You have to connect cable at your network card for using.
Also you can find your conneting cable at your new mac.
Please find connecting cable and connect to your network card.

  • How to setup a network setup with an airport extreme card in a mac pro

    I have installled an airport extreme card in my mac pro. Restarted the mac. The AP black triangle appears on right top of the screen. If I activate the AP than the a light grey triangle appears, with grey bars. I can create a network, than the triangle becomes dark grey with an kind of black computer icon in the grey area. The signal strength shows all blue bars.
    I have two other wireless networks (linksys and another for streaming music) both are working and detected by my imac. But the mac pro does not detect these networks.
    I would have thought that the two networks would be detected automatically.
    Please some advice to solve this problem

    You won't believe this, but the card is a crock. Mine was installed by an Apple tech at an Apple store. He obviously did not check out reception.
    At home, I tried setting this up right next to a Netgear wireless router (2 feet away!), and got no signal bars. Yet I pull the cover off the machine and I get 4 bars and can connect to an 802.11g network. This stinks. What idiot at Apple designed a card where the antenna is a 1" square piece of metal? Could this be an emi cage? Where did they hide the so-called "built-in" antenna. Who knows?
    See if you can aim the back of the machine toward the wireless router. There is a back door into this mother, through the fan(ny) opening.

  • Installing airport extreme card in a macbook pro

    need help replacing the airport extreme card in my macbook pro. need details on how to do it

    Without an airport extreme card, there won't be any Wifi signals going to and from the router (unless you have your machine hooked up via ethernet cable, in which case you don't need an airport card because the signal is transmitted through the cable). Most Macs have a card installed - which Mac do you have?

  • New airport extreme card in 2007 mac pro?

    I have a 2.66 mac pro which i purchased in september 2007. I talked to one lady at the mac store in Roseville, MN and she said I needed the old airport card, which she told me is model # MA688Z/A. is this true? or can i use the newer airport extreme card? the old card is hard to find and if i can use the newer card, model # M8881LL/A, that would make my life so much easier. Please advise.

    I've talked to a few more people from different mac stores, and they said that the first person i talked to basically didn't know what they were talking about. they said that the new mac pro and old mac pro both take the same airport card, model MB363Z/A. sorry for all the run-around. can anybody confirm or dis-confirm this info?

  • What model of Airport Extreme Card for 2007 Mac Pro 2.6GHz

    I am trying to find what model of Airport Extreme Card I need to install into my 2007 Mac Pro 2.6GHz
    I understand that there is a 2008 card which is incompatible, so I don't want to buy the wrong one.
    Any help appreciated.
    Laus.

    Its really confusing when Apple calls their internal wireless card on a Mac an AirPort Extreme card......and they also market an outboard wireless router called an AirPort Extreme.  See info below:
    http://www.apple.com/airport-extreme/
    You posted in the support community for the Apple wireless routers.....AirPort Express, AirPort Extreme and Time Capsule.
    While it is possible that someone here might be able to answer your question, you will likely receive a much faster and more informated response if you post your question again in the support area for the Mac Pro.
    The link to that support area is here:

  • 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 -

  • Installing Airport extreme card for 2008 Mac Pro

    After some searching I finally found which airport extreme card to get for my 2008 Mac Pro that I just purchased recently . According to the the link below in the Apple archives it is part number MB363Z/A. However the link further down in the thread for the instructions on installing the card doesn't seem to work any more. Anyone know where to find another link for some detailed instructions or pics on installing the card. I haven't found any as of yet. I installed the old extreme card in my G5 pretty easily, but this seems a little more involved in the Mac pro from what I've read so far.
    thanks, Craig

    Ok never mind I found the old link seems to work now with detailed pics and instructions. Sounds like it's a bit of a pain but can be done with patience. Just have to get the card now.

  • How to install AirPort Extreme card in eMac?

    I just recently acquired a 2005 G4 eMac (the top-of-the-line model with the SuperDrive and 160 GB hard drive), and I am trying to install an AirPort Extreme card into it. Apparently I think the instructions must differ from this one:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2596
    Since this is for the older AirPort cards.
    I pushed the card in all the way, logo facing downward, screwed in the antenna, etc., but the Mac still won't recognize it! What should I do to get it working?

    Numerous eMac users who installed Airport Extreme cards in the past have brought up that the Extreme card is a very tight fit in the eMac Airport slot, especially compared to the original Airport card. Often, the card appears to be fully seated, but is actually some fraction of a millimeter out. After seating the card according to all the instructions, you have to push hard on the edge of the card to get it to really seat all the way, hard enough to just start to push the 50-lb eMac away from you (don't try this with the eMac on the very edge of the table or desk!). I ran into exactly that putting an Extreme card in my in-law's eMac, and I had already read other's warnings; that may give you some idea how firmly you really need to push the card once it feels as if it's seated.

  • Installing CS5.5 on my new mac pro - what to do?

    Over the years I've purchased CS3 (boxed), CS 5 Design Premium (boxed), and CS 5.5 Design Premium (downloaded upgrade). I am ready to install 5.5 on my new mac pro. Questions:
    I had once copied some CS 5.5 dmg files to my backup drive but they appear to be only pdfs about installing, etc., not applications...so,
    Do I need to install my boxed CS5 first or is my 5.5 the complete set even though purchased as an 'upgrade'? (I see there are complete, separate CS5 and CS5.5 folders on my old mac)
    With the above info in mind, I have to re-download CS5.5 from Adobe, right? Thanks!

    Direct Download Links for Adobe Software
    Simply install CS5.5 right away and it will ask for the previous serials for verification.

  • Installing Airport Extreme Card

    I bought an airport card from Apple. I am installing it in a mid-08 Mac Pro. Are there any instructions out there on installing it? I have installed it in the slot, and have hooked up the antenna to the card (it has two posts), but for some reason, it is not recognizing the card. Any suggestions?

    Here is a step-by-step:

    Hope it helps. If you are close to a apple store, you can have them do it. I think it costs $25.
