Mac Pro and Airport Extreme Card

I have a new mac pro and installed the airport extreme card. I cannot see my network but the system tells me the card is on. Any suggestions? I can connect with a direct ethernet connection.

I bought a mac pro last year and went for the wireless option with it. You know the upgrade. Anyway it came as a seperate item and i had to install it myself. It doesn't look anything like the one pictured here, well it just doesn't have a cover like it. So anyway i can't pick up any outside networks and when i share the internet connection with it i have to put my psp right next to the case to get a profoundly amazing 12% signal, Any ideas?

  • Macbook pro and airport extreme don't work

    A friend (and all those tv commercials) say everything just works with Macs. Well, not exactly. New Macbook Pro and Airport Extreme can't connect me to the internet. I still have PC connected via ethernet cable to my cable modem and router which is in the basement where the cable enters the house. I've tried the different options in Airport Extreme setup and nothing works. It doesn't help Apple assumes I know everything about DHP PPPOE NAT or whatever all those silly things are.
    Can anyone explain in +very simple+ terms how I get this expensive piece of aluminum connected to the internet?
    Thanks.

    Hello sofarapplesux. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    I assume that you will continue to use the modem and router in the basement to get your Internet access ... correct? What is the make/model of this router?
    If that's the case, I will also assume that you have the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) connected by Ethernet to this router ... correct?
    So your overall network configuration should look something like the following:
    Cable modem > (Ethernet cable) > \[Internet port] router \[LAN port] > (Ethernet cable) > \[WAN port] AEBSn ... close?

  • MacBook pro and airport extreme router. How to print wirelessly to an old HP wireless photosmart all in one printer

    With MacBook pro and airport extreme router, how can I print wirelessly to an old HP wireless photosmart all in one printer?  What is needed or what process?

    You need to make sure that the HP has an updated printer driver that works with 10.6 for that printer. You can check here:

  • New help with my mac air and airport extreme time capsule dont know how to save to time capsule and use as a external hd

    new help with my mac air and airport extreme time capsule dont know how to save to time capsule and use as a external hd would like 2 store my home videos and pictures on the time machine (ONLY) as the MAC AIR has storage space limited space please help. THANK YOU.

    It is extremely important you realise.. the Time Capsule was never designed for this.
    It is a backup target for Time Machine.. that is the software on the computer that does backups.. it has no direct connection to the Time Capsule.
    It has no ability to back itself up.. unlike all other NAS in the market. It is therefore likely one day you will lose all your files unless you seriously work out how to backup.
    The TC is slow to spin up the hard disk and fast to spin down. iTunes and iPhoto will continually lose connection to their respective libraries.
    iPhoto in particular is easy to corrupt when you move photos over wireless into the library.. once corrupted all is corrupt. A single photo will ruin it all.. so backup is utterly essential.
    Time Machine cannot do backups of network drives. ie the TC. You will need a different backup software like CCC. You will then need another target to backup to..

  • Part Number for 2.16 Core Duo Macbook Pro 15in Airport Extreme card

    Does anyone know where I can purchase an Airport Extreme card? My crapped out on me a couple days ago. I am looking for one that is compatible with 2.16 Core Duo Macbook Pro 15in.
    Thank you!

    Gieek, Welcome to the discussion area!
    The wireless card in the MacBook Pro is not a user replaceable part.

  • Linxsys and Airport Extreme card settings

    What settings should I have on for my airport card to work with a Linxsys wireless router?
    Can I search the available networks?
    Any and all assistance with air port card is welcome and I can not get the unit to find the wireless setting.
    Thank you.

    The AirPort Extreme card is a 802.11b/g-compatible wireless device...as is, most likely, your Linksys wireless router. No special settings are required to use the AirPort card with Linksys. Are you having trouble connecting?

  • Mac Pro and Airport Cards

    I've seen it written here about the new airport cards in the new Mac Pros. I was wondering if anyone might have called Apple about them. Are they user installable?

    I called Apple tech support earlier today and asked them about it. They told me that I would have to take it to an Apple Authorized Service Center or Apple Store to have the new airport card installed. I figure, if I really needed it, I could do that so I cancelled my order and re-ordered without the airport card.
    Hope This Helps.

  • Extend wifi range from Mac Pro with Airport Extreme

    I am trying to extend an office wifi, called "NetworkA" to my desk area. The signal comes from a Mac Pro (which is hard wired to our network) that has internet sharing enabled. I have an "AirPort Extreme Base Station A1354" and a "AirPort Time Capsule" at my disposal that I can use to use to extend the wifi. I did a hard reset of both devices.
    When I connect the Extreme directly to the Mac Pro, "AirPort Utility" lists the device, but when I choose it and it starts to set up, I get the error "An unexpected error occurred. Try again.".
    When I connect the Time Capsule directly to the Mac Pro, "Airport Utility" lists the device, but when I choose it and it starts to set up, the computer automatically switches to "NetworkB" (we have multiple wifis).
    How can I extend "NetworkA"?? Thanks.

    You need to configure the AEBS or Time Capsule to extend an existing network from the main wireless router. Then run an Ethernet cable from an AEBS LAN port to the Ethernet port on the computer.
    You cannot do that if the main router is not apple.. I suspect it isn't.

    This is really messy..
    Plug the airport directly into the same network the Mac Pro is in and use double NAT (that is all the Mac Pro is doing).
    Then extend it with the other airport.. you can extend as long as you use two apple routers.

  • Mac mini and airport extreme

    is my mac-mini (intel) compatible with the new airport express. I'd like to know before I buy it. My current router (netgear) is on its way out. What would be the best replacement. I have a 1.5 GHz Intel Core Solo.
    mac mini Mac OS X (10.4.8)

    Hi Jessica
    All Macs are compatible with all the Airport base stations. However, the Mac minis don't yet have the ability to network at 802.11n speeds, and you won't be able to run the 802.11n upgrade on that model.
    What other computers and networked devices (if any) do you have in your system at the moment? The Airport Extreme (the new, square unit) is a great solution for multiple computers, because it offers both wired and wireless connectivity. The Express (the smaller Airport unit) is generally wireless-only if you're attaching it directly to a cable/DSL modem, but if you only need wireless connectivity, it's a less expensive solution.

  • Bluetooth and Airport Extreme card install

    Are these user installable options? I am getting a new Mac Pro as an insurance replacement for an older Mac wrecked in a flood. They will only replace with a new Mac if they purchase through their supplier at their reduced cost, but I get the feeling their new replacement will ship to me without these options preinstalled. Is there a way to buy them and install them myself? I have seen documentation for hard drive and PCI card etc. replacement, but not these options. Nor does they seem to be covered in the "working in your Mac" portion of the user manual.
    If I can't do it myself, is it possible to have these installed by Apple, or are these options only available when initially ordering your Mac?

    I bet most people would say, they could do the installtion thats easy, so true however, lets say you broke somthing on the mother-board would,nt that be so easy and there goes your warranty throught the window its now void, now clap yourself, or even smack yourself, can't believe you,ve even shock yourself. If you buy the parts Apple will do do the installation for about $45-$50 say you take it to the apple store, in the U.K. at the apple store its £25, for installation of Air-port, or air-port /blue-port is the same or a bit more, they done mine it was less than an hour wait, on a busy day, have fun with your new toy.

  • Slingbox Pro and Airport Extreme Extended Network

    I have set up two new airport extremes, one as a base station one as a network extension. I have been using a Slingbox Pro with my old sky wireless connection with no problems, but after setting up my new 25gb cable connection I cannot get the Slinbox set up. As the cable feed is in another room to my TV, I set the second airport to extend the network and plugged the airport pro into the back of it, but when I run the Slingbox setup assistant it can not locate the Slingbox. Having looked in both the Apple and Slingbox forums it appears I need to port forward, but the instruction I’ve found online all relate to the old airport software, and I cant work out how to do it with the new airport software.
    If anyone has any advise, or even an idiot proof walkthrough, that would be great.

    ...plugged the airport pro into the back of it...
    What do you mean by "airport pro"?
    If the 2nd AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) is configured to use WDS or 802.11n's "extend a wireless network" no port forwarding is required on that AEBS.

  • I dont have internet via landline, but via a dongle on mac pro, can airport extreme be used to stream music from my mac pro to sound system?

    What is the best apple product for me to wireless connect my apple mac pro (wireless internet connection) to printer, itunes to sound systems etc? I do not have landline internet connection.

    UPDATE:
    I have been stress testing StreamToMe in the house and  "out in the wild" and it is working very well.  There are one or two clunky steps in order to switch from the in-my-house wifi to the cellular network but it's just better (to me) than uploading about 750 GB of music that is restricted by iTunes rules and limitations to "the cloud".   The major advantage is that this solution plays more file formats than iTunes will.  In addition, I can access music files anywhere on my mac - even if they are not in my iTunes library. Playlists from iTunes are available, too.
    I am not associated with this company in any way.  I am astounded that there are not more solutions available and that there are not more people discussing this issue.  Subscription models like Spotify are great and the cloud is fine for those that don't have large libraries  But when I have a humongous library and I don't want to move it around up and down to someone else's server or pay to access it after I have already paid for it I find the lack of ease of doing this baffling.
    I hope that this info can help someone looking for information relating to this type of solution...

  • Configure a D-link Camera to mac pro via airport extreme ethernet

    Why can't my Airport Extreme pick up a signal from a parallel device connected by ethernet cable?

    Hi All.  Managed to sort this out myself in the end.  Eventually the green light stopped flashing on the MBL, so I went to the WD web site and downloaded their 'My Book Live Setup" app.  This prompted me to log into the admin side of MBL via the web GUI and then download new firmware, and in doing so (took several failed attempts) it recognised an 'issue' with the MBL.  It gave me the awesome option to "FIX IT", so I chose that.  It then downloaded more stuff and then allowed me to rename the MBL which I did.  Then I think I had success downloading the firmware, and I then could use the rescan in the WD App, which took me all the way through the set up, and at last I could connect. Yay!
