My airport card does NOT fit!

I've been searching and searching for my answer in the forums, so my apologies if the answer is already out there...
Problem:
I have a PowerMac G4 (firewire 800 - Mirrored Driver Doors).
I just bought an Original Airport Card that had said IN THE DESCRIPTION that the card would fit my specific computer.
However, when I received it, I found it does not fit!
I've looked at the computer manual and have seen exactly where the airport card should slide into.
BUT seems that the bracket that the card should slip into, is too small. I've now done search after search for which card that I REALLY do need, but all results say that this "original airport card" IS the one that I need. One result did say that I needed an adapter. But I dont see how an adapter would help me if the bracket is too small even for the card.
I am baffled and extremely frustrated.
Can someone be CLEAR about exactly what I need?

If it has a FW800 port on the back, it will use Airport Extreme
If it does not have a FW800 port (i.e., FW400 only), it will use regular Airport. When the original Airport cards were made and speced, the FW800 MDD G4 models had not yet been produced.

I've never seen such an error before. I think you're using the serial number instead of the redemption code?
There should be a scratch off code on the back.

Airport Extreme Card does not fit into my laptop.

I recently purchased an Apple iBook G4 and a separate Airport Extreme Card. Maybe I'm just Mac-illiterate, but I can't figure out how to install the card. I've studied the directions in the manual and online but the diagrams don't seem to correspond with my laptop. For example, my laptop does not have the grey wire or metal bracket that are shown in Figure 6 at http://www.info.apple.com/usen/cip/pdf/ibkg4/ibg4-apc-cip1.pdf. In fact, that whole area in my laptop looks very different from the way it looks in the image. The card doesn't fit/snap in anywhere under the keyboard.
Am I totally missing something? Is the card supposed to be installed elsewhere? Did I perhaps purchase the wrong card?
Any support you can offer will be greatly appreciated. Hopefully my question isn't too stupid!

Current generation iBook G4's have a built in Airport Extreme interface - they don't make use of a user-installable Airport Extreme card.
Does your Mac have an Airport menu item (the fan-shaped icon near the right side of the MacOS menu bar)? If so, it already has an installed Airport interface.

3.3V CardBus Card does not fit into T500?

I got a new T500 2055WVJ last week with Win 7 64bit.
I have only one problem. The cardbus slot (it must be one, because the device manager says RICOH compatible CardBus controller) does not like my Adaptec SCSI CardBus card (Type II). Other PCMCIA cards (5V, non Cardbus) in the same slot fit in perfectly, but the 3.3V SCSI card goes in but stops about 5 mm before they is completely in. The same card works in all other laptops including my old T60, where is slides in and is recognized perfectly. Also CompactFlash cards inside an PCMCIA adaptor fit in perfectly on my new T500 and appear as ATA devices.
Looking into the slot with a lamp shows that on the left side, the notch for differentiating between 5V and 3.3V cards only allows 5V cards. But the CardBus spec says, that Cardbus cards must be 3.3V. You can see a picture of the difference between cardbus and pcmcia pccards here: http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=DateiCCard_CardBus.jpg&filetimestamp=20061112220451 (you see the different notch on the right side).
So whats wrong here? Does the new Thinkpad really does not like 3.3V CardBus cards, although the controller is CardBus?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Congrats on getting it to work!
Thinking back, I remember how reluctant I was to force a card into my new T500. I do think there is something slightly off about the slot, because the same card had been working fine in my old T42. (Or maybe the T42 was similarly stiff when it was new way back when?)
Anyway, congrats again!

Airport card does not work with Airport Extreme when security is turned on

I have an iMac running OSX 10.4.11 with an Airport card installed (firmware version 9.52).
I recently replaced my Netgear wireless router with an Apple Extreme Base station and now I am not able to connect my iMac to the wireless network when WEP security is turned on - I get an error from the Airport Setup Assistant when I attempt to connect to the wireless network.
It works fine if the wireless security on the Extreme Base station is turned off.
Please help and thanks in advance.
Motasim

First, I highly recommend that you switch to either WPA or WPA2 as WEP is no longer considered secure. If you must use WEP, I suggest that you try the following:
o Re-create the Network Name (SSID) on your AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS)
o Try using 128-bit WEP, with a 26-Hex character key for the encryption type.

Insttalling Airport Card - does not automatically configure

Any ideas to get a perfectly good Airport Card working? Bought new, worked fine; then had to put in other Mac to test networking. Upon putting back in the original machine, I am unable to configure properly. Thanks.

The PCI PowerMac G4 has no built-in capability to accept airport cards, except through third party PCI adapter cards, and external ethernet LAN port sharing on a WiFi access point/airport base station.
The PowerMac G5 uses a different type of airport card, and the card used in a PowerMac G5 can't be used in an AGP PowerMac G4. Starting with the PowerMac G4 Firewire 800 and PowerMac G5s Apple used Airport Extreme cards, which are not compatible with older PowerMac G4s, and the older PowerMac G4s original airport card can't be used with the newer models.
So don't try to mix and match cards unless you know they are compatible:

IDCS3 "page size does not fit w margin/column" error when changing bleed

Anyone know the source of this problem?
After deselecting "allow pages to shuffle" my bleed automatically, mysteriously, changes from 0pt to 9pt. When i try to change it back, I get an error: "This page size does not fit with the current margin and column settings. . ."
This happens on multiple docs.
The problem occurs in both Tiger and Leopard.
Help!
Thanks

I'm having the same problem in CS4 when I try to create a document. I zeroed out the margins and gutters too but I didn't have any luck. It's also inconsistent in my case. I can create a document the size of a US business card with a margin of 3p0 but when it get's to something bigger than that but smaller than a letter, no gutter or margin will work.
But that only applies to document creation for some reason. So far, my workaround has been to create a default document and then resize it using the document setup after the fact. It's a pain and it's weird, but that's what I've had to do.
If you've come up with a better solution since your post, I'm all ears.

IBook G4 Airport Extreme does not see any SSID

Hi,
My iBook 1,2 Ghz has been working great for several years now.
I am working with Mac OS X Tiger (10.4.11) for quite some time
and it never let me down. I connect to the internet using an Airport Express
connected to a speedtouch router.
The Airport Express Card in my iBook always found 6 or 7 SSID's of other
Wireless Networks in my neighbourhood and it used to login automatically on
my Airport Express wireless wetwork station.
Last week it suddenly stopped working correctly.
After starting OS X on my laptop the little Airport icon in the upper bar faded out grey.
When I click it it says it can't find any networks.
I checked all my settings, downgraded my Airport Extensions
and even installed a spare (refurbished) Airport Extreme Card.
Even with another Airport Extreme Card it does not see any wireless networks.
My other macs, a unibody MacBook Pro and white MacBook work fine with the Airport Express.
What could be wrong? Am I overlooking something here? Can somebody help me out?
How can i get my Airport Express/iBook G4 connected to my wireless network again?

Hi Elko,
Thanks for the reply.
I re-installed the original Airport Extreme card into the slot again.
But now i pushed it harder than the first time. (just like you said)
I noticed the second click, but that doesn't seem to be the problem.
Both Airport Cards (the original and the new) were installed correctly.
I also checked the antenna connection but that is seated o.k. too.
After re-installing the card, i booted into Mac OS X Tiger and checked the ASP.
It says a Airport Extreme Card is installed with firmware version 405.1 (3.90.34.0.p.18)
and the langauge version is international/worldwide. So far, so good.
Nevertheless the airport card does still not find any wireless networks or SSID's after
scanning multiple times. (Location on automatic)
I am planning an upgrade to Leopard today. Maybe that's gonna help, since there were some Airport Extreme updates in Leopard. If that's not the solution, I will stay with your other suggestion and buy me a nice USB dongle.
Do you have any idea what type of dongles work best with Leopard? I have seen some different models, but a lot of dongles require third-party software to make it work and are not automatically recognized by OS X.

"BP Category 1 does not fit the data in category 2" "Replies Appreciated"

Hi Gurus,
When i am trying to create an "Individual Account" in UI, I am getting the error "BP Category 1 does not fit the data in category 2".
If i try to create a "group" then it says "BP Category 3 does not fit the data in category 2".
It allows me to create only "Corporate Account" i..e. Category 2.
What should i do to create "Individual Account" and "Group". (Category1 & Category 3).
Individual Account (Category 1) - "BP Category 1 does not fit the data in category 2".
Corporate Account (Category 2) - Able to create only Corporate Account
Group (Category 3) - "BP Category 3 does not fit the data in category 2".
Thanks & Regards
Rohan

Hi Rohan,
Hope this SAP Note : 1232459, Solves your problem.
You might have created a custom configuration for corporate accounts.
Unfortunately in case of custom configurations exist, they are selected with higher priority.
So in this case the configuration for corporate accounts is also shown for individual accounts,
this causes error.
In order to solve this problem, create a custom configuration for individual account also,
i.e for view BP_HEAD/AccountDetails. Object type BP_ACCOUNT and object subtype INDIVIDUAL.
Please make sure that the custom configuration includes the fields firstname and lastname for
persons instead of name1 and name2 which are only allowed for corporate accounts.
I hope the above information resolves your problem.
Best Regards

CRM 2007 IC : error "BP category 2 does not fit the data in category 1"

Hi Guys,
When I am trying to save the data on the Bupacreate page it gives the error as follows.
"BP category 2 does not fit the data in category 1".
Can anyone suggest what is causing this error to happen and how this error can be corrected.
thanks & regards
Sandy

Hi,
This error usually occrus when you try to set field in without specifing bptype ie person, group etc. In our scenario we were trying to set field in Person which was not present in group. but since do_prepare_output method is same in both, that feild was getting set for group as well. When we placed restriction this error got removed.
Best regards

My airport utility does not find my airport express device

My airport utility does not find my airport express device

In order for the AirPort Utility on your iOS device to find the Express, both need to be connected to the same Wi-Fi network. By default, the Express will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a network name of something like: Apple Network NNNNNN. Can you iOS device find this network?

My new airport express does not connect my printer to my computer? My old airport did! then I updated to OS 10.9.2. How do I get it connected?

My new airport express does not connect my printer to my computer. The old airport did. I recently updated to OS 10.9.2. I have since bought a new
HP 6700 all in one wireless printer, got the latest Comcast router. None of which connect to my computer wirelessly. Which do I throw away the printer, router, or Mac? Help

Contact HP for support.
Explain that you are using a Mac, anticipate the inevitable groan, and wait patiently for their resident Mac expert to return from vacation.
Until then download and install its driver here: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?product=5058338&cc=us&dlc=en &lc=en
Otherwise return the printer and purchase one from a company that visibly supports OS X. HP isn't on that list.

I have a macbook 13"screen purchased in 2007; I want to hook it up to my HDTV; I purchased a mini display port to hdmi adaptor but it does not fit. what kind of adaptor will work for this model?

I have a Macbook, 13" screen, purchased in 2007. I want to hook it up to my HDTV; I purchased a mini display port to hdmi adapter but it does not fit. Any suggestions?

If you connect yourMacBook using a MiniDVI/HDMI adapter you will need to use external speakers for audio since the pre-2010 MacBooks will only send video through the MiniDVI or MiniDisplay Port . The MiniDVI/HDMI doesn't carry audio and there's no audio plugs on the TV to work with HDMI since it's expecting audio with the HDMI.
If your TV has a DVI input plug you can use a MiniDisplayPort/DVI adapter. Then a DVI cable to the DVI input plug on the TV. The TV will have RCA audio plugs for use with the DVI. Plus DVI gives a sharper image than HDMI.
