Is really not possible to install  a WIFI card in my Quad?

I am being told that the only way to insall a WIFI card/upgrade kit in my Quad G5 is to take it in to a certified tech. Being overseas right now limits that option. Can I not just take the screwdriver to it and follow a visual manual(link need here if you know of one) and put that puppy in there? I am of the impression that i have to remove the whole CPU unit to get behind there to the location on the mother board where it is to slot in.
Whats the real scoop- is this just being said to rack up the $ or is there some special tool that is needed or is it too delicate an operation?
Thank you,

Hi Steve, and a Warm Welcome to Apple Discussions and the Power Mac G5 Forum!
If your G5 is a "Late 2005" dual-core 2GHz
http://support.apple.com/specs/powermac/PowerMac_G5_Late2005.html
then the above applies.
Ease of self-installation is mentioned at post #2 above, and here

  • Why it is not possible to install apps on an SD card on a Win 8.1 tablet?

    Why it is not possible to install apps on an SD card on a Win 8.1 tablet? If it is possible to install apps on SD card in Windows phone 8.1, why is it not possible on Windows 8.1? What sort of design philosophy you follow that gives better features on
    a mobile version of the OS but not on the parent OS? Kindly explain if you can!

    why is it not possible to install apple remote desktop (from appstore bought earlier) on my new imac 21?

    hello Dahveed, thanks for your reply, i solved it with the help of the migration assistant from another mac - now it works (but before as more info: for my new imac it was not possible to install apple remote desktop from appstore (the install-button not available, the same as installed already...) - and i don't know why...? - is it possible that the reason is the number of owned macs?)

  • Multiple usage of Source System is not possible with installed DMIS version on source

    Hello folks!
    I`ve got a problem trying to adjust the Data Replication to SAP BW (on HANA) using SAP LT Replication Server.
    I`ve deleted one connection and after that I`m trying to create new one through  Configuration & Monitoring Dashboard (transaction LTR) with the same source / target systems.
    As result when on the second step (Specify Source System) I specify RFC destination of the source system it appears an error with text
    "Multiple usage of Source System is not possible with installed DMIS version on source".
    But there`s no any adjusted connection in system now..
    Please, help me to understand  how to fix that problem, I can`t find a solution

    Hi,
    When you say that you 'deleted one connection', did you delete the RFC connection or the SLT Configuration? If it is not a real multiple usage scenario, then deactivate the 'allow multiple usage' flag, else install the correct DMIS version on both SLT and source.
    Thanks

    Hi mncazzaro,
    Furthering on from Ztuka, this limit is set for paid applications. You can re-download it up to 10 times by signing into Nokia Store and accessing My Stuff. In case you have lost any purchased content items in your My Stuff, for example because the item has been unpublished and removed from Nokia Store, please contact Nokia Care for further assistance (http://nokia.com/support and choose Contact Us). Give a short problem description, your Nokia account username and the name of the content item you wish to re-download.
    Note that your new device must be compatible with your previous downloads. 
    If you have further issues with this, try the following:
    Check your settings in application manager and make sure that  "Software Installation" should be set to "All" and "Online Certificate check" to "off ".
    Alternatively, you could try a workaround by downloading the apps on your computer and syncing it through data cable.
    Hope this helps and please report back with your outcome.

  • HT5022 I download it and its not possible to install, OSX 10.8.2 is not supported

  • Is it really not possible to change outgoing name in Gmail when I am using Microsoft Exchange?

    I am using Microsoft Exchange for the PUSH notification because Gmail Account only fetches data. I want to use PUSH because I want to receive real time email messages. I also want to add my middle name in the outgoing name.
    Is this not possible?

    Thank you so much!!!
    I didin't realize to go to the Account Settings of my Google Account, but what I tried before was to go to the Accounts and Import Settings of Gmail and it didn't helped.
    Anyway, thank you so much!!!

  • Not possible to install Leopard after HD-exchange

    My HD crashed, the new one (Seagate momentus 7200.2 160 GB sata2 8 mb gfor) is already inside the MBP. But it isn´t possible to install Leopard! "You cannot install Mac OS X on this volume. To enable installation on this volume open Disk Utility menu and repartition this disk as GUID Partition Table..." I have tried to repartition the disk, but nothing happens. What can be wrong?

    When you use Disk Utility to repartition the disk--and this will erase everything on the disk, but I assume you don't care since it is new--you need to click the "Options..." button in the partition pane and select the GUID option. Otherwise, it will just repartition it the same way it is currently partitioned, which you've noticed isn't very useful.

  • Is it possible to replace the wifi card with another one?

    Hi
    I have a t400 with intel 5100 wifi card and now I want to install mac os on my laptop.
    problem is that mac os does not detect the 5100 series of wifi card and I want to know whether it is possible to replace the current 5100 model with a older series?
    Is there any certified service center in Uppsala/ Sweden to do that?
    Thanks,
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Lenovo restricts the wireless cards to Lenovo branded units certified to work with the machine. This is done through a whitelist in the system BIOS. I recently disassembled the latest (version 3.14-1.06) T500/W500 BIOS and found the following whitelist table. This is raw big endian hex appended with what I found by searching the device ID's. Redundant entries are for varying vendor IDs.

    Your T400 is from the same lineup and probably has the same list. Remember, you'll need to purchase a Lenovo branded unit.
    Also look for a PM with additional information.

  • Error when installing new wifi card. g50-70

    Tired of having a crappy Realtek based wifi card I bought an Intel 7260 AC card as I'm upgrading my home network.
    However when I install this industry standard m.2 card into it's industry standard m.2 slot and reboot.
    I then get an Unauthorized Network Card message.
    How do I fix this error message? It's just absurd.

    Hi plupien79, welcome to the forum.
         According to your Hardware Maintenance Manual, page 80:

         These are the cards certified to work in your G50-70:

         Any other card will not pass the BIOS white list. Please note the FRU number for these cards. You can't install an "off the shelf" card, without the Lenovo branding. When buying a card, make sure it's expressly stated that it will work in a Lenovo Idea system.

  • Is it REALLY not possible to add captions to a Photo Book?!

    Hi. I have spent the last several days compiling a book of my travels, and overall I'm happy with it except that I CANNOT figure out how to add captions to any of the photos if I haven't selected the ONE format (w/ "postcards", etc) that already leaves space for them. This is really frustrating, since I don't want every single page of my photo album to have the exact same "cutesy" setup, but as it is a gift for my parents I really would like to at least be able to add a few simple captions noting where the photos are from! Is this possible? If I'm gonna drop $40 on a photo book I want it to be the way I want it!!! Please answer whether it's what I want to hear or not! Thank you in advance!
    p.s. I don't think it's possible to change the format out of Travel for only selected pages...is it???

    Yes as posted
    1 - You need to use your Apple ID - see this article for set up instructions -http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/
    2 - And this one to reset your Photo Stream - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4890

  • Is installation on 2.16 GHz Intel Core Duo (MacBook Pro)really not possible and why?

    I would like to buy OS X Lion and install it on my MacBook Pro with 2.16 GHz Intel Core Duo, but this processor is not in the list of the specifications (Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7 or Xeon processor).
    Is it really true that I can't install Lion on my Mac? If so, what is the reason?

    It has to be a Core 2 Duo. Those are the requirements for Lion.
    Requires a newer Mac.
    Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM.
