  • How do I activate a used iPhone 3 with no SIM card for use as an ipod touch?

    How do I activate a used iPhone 3G with no SIM card for use like an iPod Touch? It was apparently on AT&T previously and I have another iPhone 3 that is active on AT&T if that is helpful. Thanks!

    Copied from the link provided.
    Follow these steps to use your iPhone without a wireless service plan:
    Insert the SIM card from your new, activated iPhone or one that was previously used to activate the original iPhone.
    Connect the iPhone to iTunes on a computer connected to the Internet.
    Once iTunes activates the device, you're free to use the iPhone as if it were an iPod touch.

  • An internal Audigy card for Laptops

    Hello everybody in the room(s)!
    I?d just was wondering whether an internal soundblaster Audigy card for laptop has been released or not yet (a really internal one, not that for the PMCIA port). I own an almost-new Dell laptop. Do anybody knows something in this respect?
    Thanks everyone!

    Thanks, I took the plunge and got one of those cards. It installed fine - not sure which way to connect the two antennae - but have tried both ways (main and aux - black and white cables???)
    The drivers have installed fine and the OS works with the provided utilities but I have not been able to get a wireless signal yet. There are several wireless networks where I live as I used to be able to see them on my old iBook, but I can see none with this machine. Sadly I sold the iBook so have nothing else to check if the base station(s) are live.
    I did have SSID broadcast disable, so I set it in the clear but it is still nto showing up.
    Apart from the wireless on/off button at the side, is there anything else I could have overlooked? - I noticed fn+F8 has a wireless icon on the key but it appears to have no effect?
    Thanks for any suggestions.

  • Where can I find a wireless card for my early 2009 Mac Pro (MB871LL/A, MacPro4,1)?

    Where on on earth can I purchase a wireless card for my Mac Pro?
    Apple is of no help.  Their "Geniuses" told me that it is impossible for them sell one to me because Apple will not supply wireless cards or memory for previous generation computers.  That is totally absurd.  If I want to get a wireless card for my 2 year young computer I can't? I have to buy a brand new computer with one previously installed. Ridiculous!
    Any help or suggestions would be of great value to me.

    Well I found what I think is the correct card on B&H.
    Hopefully it works....

  • N wireless card for Mac Mini 1.66ghz

    What is the best wireless card for me to install to upgrade to N series wireless? Also is it always better to go 300 mbps vs. 150 mbps? (will be installing Snow Leopard OS). Thanks.

  • Good wireless cards for older Mac Pros

    I have a Mac Pro Dual-Core Intel Xeon 2.66 GHz at work that we are trying to get online wirelessly. A couple of months ago, we bought a Hawking Hi-Gain Wireless-N USB Adaptor, which was working fine until a recent update was performed. Since then, the computer crashes almost immediately if the wireless adaptor is plugged in, but runs fine when it is taken out. I am curious if anyone else has run into a similar problem when using a wireless adaptor. I also wanted to know if anyone had a recommendation for a different, reliable wireless card for an older Mac Pro.
    Thanks in advance.

    I have almost the exact same situation.
    Same system, a d-link wua 1340 usb wireless adaptor.
    Worked fine for several weeks or so until i updated to snow leopard.
    Now frequent system crashes, grey screen and the box that tells me to use the power button to shut down.
    I tried going back to 10.5 and still the same problem.

  • Elementary question: need wireless card for old Dell

    Hi, all: I need to buy a wireless card for my several-years-old Dell Precision 340 desktop, so that I can network it with my MacBook Pro and printer using AirPort Express. Can buy any old USB network adapter card branded "universal"? Any recommendations? There is no built-in wireless card. Also, I understand that I will have to reconfigure the AirPort somehow to handle both PC and Mac (I spent a long time on the phone with Support getting to work in the first place, just with the Mac notebook).
    Thanks for any advice!

    Hello jonnofor. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    Can buy any old USB network adapter card branded "universal"? Any recommendations? There is no built-in wireless card.
    Just about any 802.11b/g wireless device will work with the AirPort Express Base Station (AX). The AX is capable of up to WPA2 wireless encryption, so if this is important to you, you would want a device that is WPA or WPA2 capable as well. In addition to USB-style, the Precision 340 can also take PCI-cards. For example, Linksys offers both a USB & PCI types.
    Also, I understand that I will have to reconfigure the AirPort somehow to handle both PC and Mac
    There shouldn't be any required configuration changes necessary for the AX just to support both Macs and PCs. Most issues that come into play relate to using WEP for wireless encryption. You can eliminate this by using WPA or WPA2 instead.

  • Hi All! I have an iphone 4s. I want to buy an ipad but torn between wifi or wifi cellular. Can I use for sure, my iphone 4s as the wireless hotspot for my ipad if I get the ipad wifi only? And if yes, is the signal/connection good? Thank you.

    Hi all! I have an iphone 4s. I want to buy an ipad but I'm torn between wifi or wifi+cellular because of the price difference. Can I really use my iphone 4s as the wireless hotspot for my ipad? If yes, is the signal good and fast? Thank you for your response.

    Yes you can if:
    1: Your cellular provider offers a data tethering option.
    2: You have subscribed to this option.
    Speed will be as it is with your existing iPhone.

  • Wireless card for desktop

    Do I need to purchase and install a wirless card for my pc inorder to get the airport express to connect?

    If you are trying to get wireless connectivity to a wireless router, like the AirPort Express Base Station (AX), then yes, you will need a 802.11g wireless card for your PC.

  • Need Advice on a Laptop Wireless Card For Arch

    I have Arch running on my desktop and I'm loving it. I'm thinking about putting it on my laptop too. The problem there is that my laptop has a Broadcom wireless card that the Linux kernel doesn't recognize by default. The last time I tried to use Arch on my laptop, I had to reinstall the wireless driver every time the kernel was updated.
    Is there a internal wireless mini card I can buy and put in my laptop that Arch/Linux will be able to use without compiling anything? I'll buy whatever is needed to replace my Broadcom card and make my Linux experience better if you have any recommendations.

    I bought one of these about 2 months ago and it works great on my two laptops. Dirt cheap (~10 bucks, no shipping) and no fidgeting involved. Just put it in the card bus thingo, turn on the laptop, it's all good. I think the drivers are in the kernel, as I don't recall installing any driver packages on either laptop at install-time, but I definitely didn't have to do anything manually. Atheros tends to work nicely in linux in my experience, and this is no exception.

    MSI does not 'whitelist' anything as far as we are aware. This is included in our FAQ section.
    Are you 100% certain that the card is good? Have you tried it in another laptop to ensure it works there?
    Yep my friend has a HP Business laptop with the same card and he swapped it and got great speeds from it ive just done a full restore of my laptop and it still seems like its wont work ive ran out of ideas. i tried his wireless card from his Laptop and it was the same error it looks like its installed and ready to rock but theres some sort of barrier stopping it :/

  • Recommended wireless card for G3?

    I have a Powerbook GS series running OS 10.2 and am looking to buy a wireless card. Any suggestions? I went to the local Mac store and the guy there suggested a card that was about $80. Is this reasonable? Thanks for your help.

    Tyanlee,
    To make your wireless experience as pleasant as possible, I would suggest this:
    1. Download and install the Mac OS X Update Combo 10.2.8:
    http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosxupdatecombo10_28.html
    2. Download and install AirPort 3.1.1:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=70176
    After installing both updates, you can then buy one of the wireless PC cards below and it will be fully compatible with AirPort software.
    http://www.sonnettech.com/product/aria_extreme.html
    http://www.macsense.com/product/broadband/WPE800.html
    http://www.buffalotech.com/wireless/products/airstation/WLICBG54A.html
    I recommend downloading the standalone updates instead of using your OSX's Software Update. If you have only a slow modem connection, possibly a friend can download them or your local Mac store may burn a CD for you for a few dollars.
    If you are running OSX 10.2.0 > 10.2.5, you cannot use AirPort software, but you do have other options. If you are not interested in updating to 10.2.8 (possibly you are already there), please reply.

  • Upgrade wireless card for DV6-6B26US....

    I have two Hp laptops that are used for work. One is a HP Pavilion DV6-6B26US and the other is a HP Pavilion G4-1215dx.
    Recently our employer informed us that company network upgrades will require laptops to have dual band (2.4 & 5 GHz) wireless cards (as the are blocking 2.4 GHz bands in selected locations).
    I initially attempted to upgrade the HP Pavilion G4-1215DX with an Intel Centrino 6235 Advanced WiFi card and found that the BIOS contained a whitelist preventing use of the Intel card. I was able to find and order a suitable replacment listed in the service guide for the laptop:
    Realtek 8188BC8 802.11a/b/g/n 2×2 WiFi and Bluetooth 3.0+HS Combo Adapter  (602993-001)
    I cannot, however, find a suitable dual band wireless card listed in the service guide for the HP Pavilion DV6-6B26US. I need to know if a whitelist is employed in the bios for this machine, and if so, which dual band wireless card would be comapatible with this machine?
    Alternatively, is there a BIOS avaiable for this machine (or both machines) that does not employ whitelisting of wireless cards?
    Thank you,
    Patrick

    Hi,
    Unfortunately the whitelist is still present in this model series (Dv6-6000). I haven't been able to find any compatible dual band wireless card because all wifi chips from the manual are only 1x1. Have you tried the Realtek 8188 on a 5Ghz network? I don't think that it's a dual band wireless card..
