Installing AP Extreme + Bluetooth

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 posting here, cannot seem to find instructions on HOW to install it.
I did find this photo/instructions at another site, but there are two sets of connection directions and it would be nice to find an actual Apple set of instructions: http://guides.macrumors.com/AddingBluetooth_and_Wireless_to_a_MacPro

I've got the, uh, Apple directions at home for a Mac Pro. It isn't hard to do- it's practically user-installable (as in, it should be in the user manual).
Send me a mail at bytelogix at shaw dot ca. Replace @ and "." respectivly. I can't do anything through the Apple forum due to rules. If you want to mail me, I can get you the required information on the side.

  • How do I install Airport Extreme + Bluetooth 2.0+EDR card on new G5?

    I just received the card (Part# MA252G/A) in the mail but have no instructions on how to install it. The Apple website makes it seem like you have to have a BA in computer science to do it, so I'd like to see what's involved before attemting the install myself. Mind you, I've built computers from scratch so I'm inclined to believe I can so this myself with a little help.
    Thanks!

    Hi Nick -
    Installation instructions that accompany cards are often sketchy as configurations can vary considerably from one system to another. If you take a look at the User's Guide that came with your G5 you should find the instructions you need for installing any type of card. In fact, my G5 User's Guide provides specifics for Airport Extreme installation. Check in the Index under 'Installing' & post back with detail if you have any problems. I think you'll find it rather straightforward.
    Good Luck |:>)

  • I have installed Airport Extreme on my iMac, but want to extend the wireless network with Airport Express. Everything is fine until I try to select Extend the wireless network.  I select Extend Wireless network but have no success. Ideas?

    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!

    Let'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.
    Extreme, Express, Time Capsule

  • 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.

  • While installing Lion my Bluetooth module disappeared. How can I reinstall it?

    While installing Lion my Bluetooth module disappeared. How can I reinstall it?

    You ought to get a dialog asking to install the first time you run an app that needs it
    Details here:
    http://www.macworld.com/article/1167855/installing_mountain_lion_what_you_need_t o_know.html
    The relevant bit is this:
    Note that the first time you try to load a webpage or run an app that requires Java, Mountain Lion will prompt you to download and install the Java runtime, even if you upgraded from Snow Leopard or Lion and you’d previously installed Java. This is normal—you shouldn’t worry that installing Mountain Lion somehow “lost” any of your data or apps.
    Or you can go to the Apple Downloads page and search for Java

  • 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 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.

  • Trouble with Maya 8.5 after installing Airport Extreme

    Installed Airport Extreme 802.11n a couple weeks ago - using OS 10.4 on an iMac and 10.3 on G4 Quicksilver.

    Tried to use Maya 8.5 this week and program freezes on startup. Only change to Mac system is installing network.
    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.

  • I installed an Extreme in place of an old Express, the various phones and Ipads seem to work on the WiFi but the Mac itself will not connect.  It says something about the IP address.

    I installed an Extreme in place of an old Express, the various phones and Ipads seem to work on the WiFi but the Mac itself will not connect.  It says something about the IP address being used by another device.  Second wifi network was also created.  The Mac worked for a few minutes and then gaev up citing eth IP problem......any clues people??

    If you have not already done so, now would be a good time to perform a complete network power cycle.......to give everything a fresh start.
    Power off every device on the network.....computers, printers, hard drives, etc......in any order that you want
    Wait a full minute
    Start the modem, and let it run by itself for 2-3 minutes
    Start the next device connected to the modem and let it run a full minute
    Keep starting devices one at a time about a minute apart until the entire network is back up
    Check the network

  • 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.

  • Installing the airport extreme/bluetooth card

    Are there any instructions available for installing this card in my Quad?
    TIA,
    Jay

    Apple says
    ...or you can add wireless capability post purchase1 by having an Apple Authorized Service Provider or a retail Apple Store install the AirPort Extreme with Bluetooth 2.0+EDR card for you. The AirPort Extreme with Bluetooth 2.0+EDR card is not a DIY (do-it-yourself) part.
    Therefore your best bet is to get it installed by an Apple Authorized Service Provider or a retail Apple Store.
    I am unable to find any instructions to do it yourself.

  • Need advice about AIrport Extreme/ Bluetooth Upgrade!!!!

    Okay, so when I bought my first Mac I didn't opt for wireless. Now I see I want it.
    So I have a late model 2.0 Dual Core PowerPC G5.
    There are two different cards I see. One, I cannot find ANYWHERE for less than $250.00.
    Then I see there is another card out there, a different card. I am not sure which one I actually need. And the people at Apple can't seem to tell me either.
    So please, check out these links, and if you know which one I need, please tell me.

    Hi-
    Not sure about the Amazon link (no stock anyways).
    The We Love Macs link appears to be correct.
    Note that you need the runway card, and the stand off card to install the combo card.
    Might consider wireless/bluetooth USB adapters as an option. Much cheaper.......
