Installing airport extreme on g4/533
I just bought an airport extreme card and tried to install it. I found the slot, but there seems to be something missing. There is a connector on the motherboard behind it, but no connection slot. What am I missing?
thanks,

Your computer's slot is designed for the regular AirPort card, not the AirPort Extreme card. Installing an AirPort Extreme card into your machine may damage the machine.
The earliest PowerMac to include an AirPort Extreme slot is the FireWire 800 model.

I have installed Airport Extreme on my iMac, but want to extend the wireless to rooms with a weak signal. The internet connection is fine with the basic setup. As soon as I go into Airport Utility to select Extend Wireless Network and fill in what I believe is proper information, I get an error message that Airport Extreme no longer has an IP address, the internet connection is broken, and under Wireless, that there is a wireless network in existence that can't be found. Rebooting the modem only brings the Airport Extreme back to the starting gate so that the internet is once again available. I assumed (naively) that with the All Mac All-the-Time context, adding Airport Express would truly be Plug and Play. I got the plug, but no play. I asked a Comcast technical specialist about it and he said that I needed to reset the Airport Express settings back to their default, factory status. I looked that process up online and found out that the way to do that was to hold down the reset button, then plug Airport Express into the socket and wait for the green light to flash four times. Then wait 45 seconds and the default settings will return. I did all that, only to find out that after the initial flash of green, green never appeared again. I got a fast flashing yellow light, followed by the light going off. Apparently this didn't reset it properly. So, after hours trying to get this system to work, I appeal to someone who can see through this mess and provide the key to success!
highFly376Let's see if I can get this straight.
You have an Airport Extreme base station that is set to "Create a wireless network" and you have the box checked for "allow this network to be extended"....
Then you have an Airport Express that is set to "Extend a wireless network" which you selected the name of your network in the box...
Correct?
See this Apple document:

The wireless unit on the right of the diagram can be either of the newer Apple base stations.

How do i install airport extreme on a windows pc and route it to another windows desktop?
How do I install airport extreme into a windows desktop pc and then successfully route it to another windows desktop?
The AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) is an Internet router that supports both wired and wireless network clients. You can connect both of your desktop, using either media, to the AEBS for network connectivity.

I just installed Airport Extreme. It works as a wireless network on my Macbook. It won't connect with my Windows Visa PC. Message reads: "settings saved on this computer for the network don't match requirements of the network." I seem to need to enter a security key/passphrase to connect to the PC. Where do I find them?
Thanks for your help.I assume that you have Wireless Security enabled on your AirPort's wireless network. The issue maybe that the PC is unable to use the WPA password itself and will require using the Equivalent Network Password instead.
To get this password, you will use the AirPort Utility from the MacBook:
Start the AirPort Utility > Select the AirPort base station > Manual Setup
Now, before doing anything else, go up to the utility's menu bar at the top of the screen, and then, choose "Base Station," and then, Equivalent Network Password from the drop-down menu. You will see two items: 1) WPA Password, which should look familiar to you, and 2) WPA Pre-Shared Key. It should be a long hexidecimal set of numbers and letters. Jot down this second item.
You will want to use the value you just jotted down when entering the password from the Windows Visa PC. -

Is Autodesk license manager unable to recognize computer with network setup?
Thanks for any help.Maya not being able to recognize the license dat file will not cause Maya to lock up or crash. Have you run a Maya crash log to confirm what is causing this? Since upgrading from Tiger to Leopard I also upgraded to Maya 2008 (don't know why Autodesk didn't call it 9.0..lol) from 8.5. I haven't experienced any system crashes on Leopard, even on the MacBook Pro (Core 2 Duo 2.33 GHz, 3 GB RAM, ATI X1600). Note: I'm also using the AEBS in the SOHO and no issues with the license server.

Why airplay stop when installed airport extreme
After installing airport extreme, I cannot airplay from my iPhone 4S.
First check to make sure that the AirPort Extreme (AEBS) has been configured to allow the wireless to be extended.
Open AirPort Utility, select the AEBS and click Manual Setup
Click on the Wireless tab just below the row of icons in the setup window
Make sure there is a check mark next to "Allow this network to be extended"
Jot down the exact name of the wireless network and the type of security that the device is using
Click Update to save any changes
Perform a Factory Default Reset on the AirPort Express (AX) as follows:
Power down the AX for a few minutes
Hold in the reset button and keep holding it in another 10-12 seconds as you plug the AX back in to power
Release the reset button and allow 40-45 seconds for the AX to restart to a slow, blinking amber state
Connect an Ethernet cable from your computer to the AX
Open AirPort Utility and click Manual Setup
Click the Base Station tab below the icons to assign a name to the AX, device password and adjust Time Zone settings
Click on the Wireless tab and adjust your settings as follows:
Wireless Mode = Extend a wireless network
Wireless Network Name = Exact same name as your AEBS wireless network
Enter a check mark next to Allow wireless clients
Wireless Security = Exact same setting as the AEBS network
Wireless Password = Same password as the AEBS network
Confirm Password
Click Update to save settings. Close AirPort Utility as soon as you see the message that the settings have been stored and wait 40-45 seconds for a green light.
Unplug the AX and move it to a location that is approximately 1/2 the distance from the AEBS to the area that needs more wireless coverage.
If you are using a PC, as your post indicates, the Windows Firewall will often block the connection between AirPort Utility and the AEBS or AX, so you may need to check the firewall settings for "blocked" connections, or you may need to "allow" a connection in the firewall application. -
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.

System slows down after installing AirPort Extreme Update 2007-001
my macbook's internet related performance has been significantly slowed down recently. i have windows xp installed on my mac from where i can compare the performance of ie and safari or ie and firefox on mac. the result is ie on windows xp is much faster. the wireless connection is even more reliable and has more signal strenth under windows. these "slow" situations of mac only happens recently, and the only thing that i can think of to mark the change is the installation of AirPort Extreme Update 2007-001. please advise what i can do to bring back the good performance of mac. (i.e.:if i type in www.google.ca in the address bar of safari, the blue bar will just be stuck around "http://" for a long time before the simple page gets loaded while the status bar of safari is showing contacting google.ca)
Same scenario here, though I'm running 10.4.9. on a Mac Pro. I've tried every known fix, but Safari still stalls every few minutes - taking upwards of a minute to continue loading whatever page I was browsing to.
Other apps, including Mail, Firefox, and Remote Desktop screen sharing aren't affected - I can ping away without issue while Safari is choking, and there is no unusual Safari CPU consumption in Activity Monitor

My eMac can't find installed airport Extreme card
Hello everyone,
Having bought a netgear wireless modem for a wi-fi connection, I was told to install an airport extreme card on my eMac, which I did - several times. But the eMac says he can't find when I look for it, either in the internet setup or in the general information about the hard and software. I also installed the accompanying software. Why can this be ? Thanks for your advice!
eMac Mac OS X (10.4.7)It's an eMac (USB 2.0) model. I'm not certain I should try to push the card in more ? Are those cards defective frequently ?
Which eMac do you have? You can use KB 86325, eMac: How to locate the serial number
and identify your model to determine which model
you have.
If your eMac is the "eMac (ATI Graphics)", "eMac (USB
2.0)", or "eMac (2005)" the AirPort Extreme card is the correct
wireless card.
If your eMac is the "eMac", it requires the original
AirPort card and is not compatible with
the AirPort Extreme card.
Assuming that your eMac is compatible with the AirPort Extreme card, one or more of
the following must be true if the eMac is not
detecting the card.
The card is not installed
correctly.
The card is defective.
The
eMac's motherboard is defective.

Problems after installing Airport Extreme Update 2008-001
ever since I installed the Airport Extreme update 2008-001 my internet connection has been dropping and it's so frustrating. I normally wait and don't install updates immediately after they are released. I installed this one and now my internet connection keeps dropping.
Anyone have any suggestions??Same scenario here, though I'm running 10.4.9. on a Mac Pro. I've tried every known fix, but Safari still stalls every few minutes - taking upwards of a minute to continue loading whatever page I was browsing to.

Installing airport extreme into my Mac Pro
Hey everyone! I just bought a Refurbished AirPort Extreme Card
Part Number: F8881LL/A from the apple store. Ive been searching around and there are no support documents on how to install in in my machine. Does anyone have any instruction on how to do this? Also, now that I think about it, im not even sure this card will work with my computer? Will it? Thanks in advance!!Okay but what if....
I bought a new Mac Pro Quad on Friday night at an actual Apple store. They only carried stock base models, so I loaded up on extras like a 750 GB drive, 6GB more memory, and also AP Extreme & BT. They sold it to me, didn't bat an eye about it being a dealer only installed item. But much like some of the other users I've seen posted, cannot seem to find instructions on HOW to install it.
But I'd have to presume that a store full of Apple experts, all fawning over my new Quad and 30" monitor...that at least one of them would have stopped me from buying it. -
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.
