Airport card is not recognized by G3 iMac
I recently acquired a G3 600 MHz iMac, running OS X 10.4.11, and I want to join the iMac to my wireless network. So I purchased an Airport card ( tested card on a ibook running 10.4.11 and it works fine.) and seated it in the G3 iMac. For some reason the iMac does not recognize it one bit. I checked profiler and System Preferences and no sign of an Airport Card. I then opened the iMac and reseated the card, I even changed out the adapter with another adapter I had. After researching online, some people suggested an archival OS restore. Although I would try that but unfortunately I do not have any of the original install disks. So my question is: does anyone know how I can make the os recognize the card?
Greatly appreciate the help.There are two versions of the original AirPort card, and their identify can be determined using the information below.
The poster you replied to may be referring to this post quoted below, though even if he had the initially issued card, it would not explain why the card is not recognized. Though incapable of supporting advanced security, it would otherwise be recognized and operate as expected if seated properly, as you have described.
The original AirPort card was equivalent to a WaveLAN Silver card, and supported only 40-bit WEP or 64-bit encryption, and did not support WPA.
The original AirPort Base Station which shipped with these cards on board was limited to 10 clients, had only a 10BbaseT LAN port, and supported only 40-bit WEP. Later cards which looked physically identical, supported 104 bit WEP, or 128-bit encryption, as did the AirPort Base Stations which included them. This second card, also manufactured initially in the Netherlands for Apple by AT&T's Lucent unit—later know as ORiNOCO—was equivalent to the WaveLAN Gold card.
The 661-2219 part number is distinguished by the M7600LL/* marketing designator screened on the label, as well as engineering revision part number 825-4889 and worldwide procurement part number 630-2883. EEE code G3G is embedded right-most in the last four characters of each part's serial number. *This character is typically A, B or C.
The 661-2569, on the other hand, is distinguished by an M7600LL/D or later marketing designator, engineering revision part number 825-5620, the same worldwide procurement part number 630-2883 and typically the phrase '128 bits' along the lower center of the label. EEE codes LH8, M6Y or QAC are embedded right-most in the last four characters of each part's serial number.
While a procurement number generally changes when a service part number change is made, this product did not, as Lucent remained its sole supplier, the 'change' to the card involved different firmware and not a physical change to the product, and Apple personnel largely considered them equivalent, though they were and are not.
Graphite AirPort base station models initially used the M7600LL/A, B or C cards, and was itself designated the M7601LL/A and later, the M7601LL/B. Both base stations were also designated as 661-2265 whole unit service replacement parts. Every card we've ever seen in a Graphite base station was a 661-2219 and was marked as described above.
Apple did not adequately document many of these parts and there applications at the time they were still in use, and all have disappeared from their inventory—except in limited cases—as has much of what existed for documentation. Given their personnel changes over the years, it's quite likely that no one there now can recall the subtle differences or properly identify these products. Once there are designated vintage, then obsolete, they drop quickly off of the radar.
While any properly functioning iMac compatible AirPort card properly mounted in a 076-0804 adapter would show up in the System Profiler without the antenna connected, the performance of such a card would be poor to abysmal.
I believe that you are completely correct when you indicate that either the adapter is not seated properly, that it is not working properly, or that the logic board is defective. The latter two scenarios are quite unlikely, though possible. -
My ipod nano is not recognized in itunes on my computer, when it has in the past. How do I fix this problem?
I would think, Twins1995, that if we are having the problem, others are as well. Hopefully, Apple will shortly issue a follow-up software release to fix the problem. Or is that just wishful thinking on my part.
It would be helpful, if there were some kind of work-around in the interim, so we can use our devices. Pretty frustrating when you consider that all of the hardware and software is produced by Apple. -

2nd Gen iPad Mini stopped working yesterday. Won't startup under and configuration and is not recognized by my iMac. I believe it upgraded itself to iOS 8 (????)
Hey Kenneth,
So it sounds as if your iPad is not responding at all when you try to turn it on, is that correct? If so, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support
If you get it to start up and it is still not recognized by iTunes on your Mac, use the steps in this article to troubleshoot that issue -
If you don't see your connected device in iTunes for Mac - Apple Support
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Happy computing,

Software Update is not finding latest release (April 3) of Java 2012 001 Update on my iMac mid-2007, but it downloaded it automatically on my iMac mid-2011 yesterday. Both are running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3. When I try to download the update manually from Apple on my older iMac, it downloads okay, but when I try to open the dmg file, I get a warning message saying that opening this update may make your computer LESS secure. Do you want to proceed? (I did not).
Why would Software Update find this update and install it automatically on one iMac and not the other, if they are both running the same version of Mac OS X Lion? I checked the installed software list on my old iMac and the Java update does not appear there. Why would this update make my old iMac less secure?Recall that Java is not installed as part of Lion.
You have to install it (and are asked if you want to) when you first try to run some java stuff.
Is it possible that the iMac 2007 does not have Java yet?
Try this: open Terminal (from Utilities) and type java -version (exactly like that, with the space before the hyphen).
What do you get?
Consistent with this theory is that the dmg thing gave you the warning - installing java might make your machine less secure because java is a means for bad guys to try to do bad things to your computer.

Just transferred data to iMac from working Mac Pro that is using Parallels and Windows 7 and the Biblesoft 5 and it will not open on the iMac the only change is the new Maverick OS from the macpro Lion OS. Any ideas?
<Personal Information Edited by Host>Setup Assistant and Migration Assistant do not restore MS Windows, it only does the OS X partition. All of your Windows stuff must be backed up and restore using a MS Windows application. If no one on this forum is able to answer your question then I'd repost it on a Parallels forum to see how other Windows users approach this.

Graphics card is not recognized in windows 7
Hi guys, i just installed windows 7 ultimate on my bootcamp partition. Everything loaded fine. I used my osx disk to install bootcamp, it worked. But my video card (Nvidia geforce gt 330m) is not recognized or something. i checked device manager and under display there is only standard VGA driver. I went to the nvidia website and downloaded the driver but when i go to install it, it says: the nvidia setup could not find any drivers that supports your hardware.
Any ideas??
my video card works perfectly on mac...^^Gecko, I'm not bustin' on you, but you're wrong. Or, you are, but I doubt it, one of the lucky ones.
I've gotten 3.1 installed by running the setup .exe file from the DVD via Windows Explorer. Everything seems OK except the graphics/resolution. My NVIDIA card isn't recognized and my resolution options only go up to 1280 x 800.
The Window 7 Performance Information and Tools shows this:
"Graphics
Total available graphics memory Not detected
Dedicated graphics memory 0 MB
Dedicated system memory 0 MB
Shared system memory 0 MB
Display adapter driver version 6.1.7600.16385
Primary monitor resolution 1280x800
DirectX version DirectX 8 or earlier"
Apple, please, help us!

In the past I have been able to access web sites that require certificates pulled from a common access card inserted into a card reader attached to my Mac. Since I have updated to the newer version of Firefox, the sites that I am trying to gain entry to are not recognizing either the card, card reader or those certificates. If I use Safari or my work computer, the sites recognize my card and certificates and I am grated entry. I would use Safari but I like the format of Firefox for the specific tasks that require the access card. Just looking for a solution. Firefox does open other sites just fine. It's just the ones that require the card, reader and certificates.
Anything here:
* [[/questions/808161]] Trying to use a CAC smart card reader with Mac version of Firefox
* [[/questions/752709]] Having problems configuring FireFox to use a CAC reader -
This is what's happening.
Note, I was able to retrieve pictures AND videos on my SD card to my Macbook Pro before using iPhoto.
After format,
1. SD Card's video's are not recognized in Image Capture
2. Videos don't show up in iPhoto.
3. Videos are not recognized in Finder.
4. HOWEVER, I can import the videos through iMovie (as a new project which is annoying).
5. Also I know there are videos in the SD card because I can preview them on my camera.
I have 2011 Macbook Pro 13'' base model 10.8.2No, the camera does not see the card either. The camera shop experts tried their programs and could not make any progress as they could also never get the computer to acknowledge there is a card there. They are trying to find someone that can take the card apart to see if they can retrieve the data.

Card reader not recognizing CF in leopard on new 24" Imac.. HELP PLEASE!!
I have a new 6-in-1 card reader that my new IMac (Leopard, 24", 2.4gHz, 2gb RAM) won't fully recognize. The thing is, it recognizes it if I put an SD card in it, but not a CF card. (This is annoying because one of my cameras uses CF). The stranger thing is that if I boot XP in parallels on this IMac, XP recognizes both the SD and CF cards just fine in the reader, and the files import flawlessly. This makes me think the computer, the connection, the card, and the reader are not the problem. My Macbook also recognizes the CF card without any problems, so it's not just that the card reader isn't fully Mac compatible. Any ideas? It's super annoying and I'd rather not buy a different card reader when it seems so close to working... I can import photos through parallels and XP, but that's annoying and there should be a way to get this fancy machine to see the CF card in the reader...
Not being able to transfer photos from CF cards using my USB2 card reader, I connected my Canon D60 camera to my MacBook using the original Canon cable. The Mac doesn't see that either and there appear to be no relevant rivers on the Canon site. Is there a problem with USB2 under Leopard? Is Apple aware of or working on this?

Card reader not recognized in Windows Explorer
My Dell XPS 8500 has an internal card reader. An inserted card was always recognized as soon as it was inserted. After installing Lightroom, the inserted card is no longer recognized by My Computer until after I start lightroom and begin the import process. I would prefer to copy my photos from the card to a chosen file on my hard drive without Lightroom's intervention. Is there a way to accomplish this?
Are you saying Windows Explorer doesn't show the card reader as a drive letter (E: or other letter), but LR does? Please take a screenshot of the LR Import screen and Windows Explorer screens as shown below. On my system the card reader appears as drive I: in both Windows Explorer and LR's Import module:

Hp pavillion dv9000 onboard sound card/speakers not recognized
I have an old HP Pavillion dv9000, it has been with me for a while. I took it with me to Iraq back in 2007-2008 and it has a lot of sentimental value to me. I don't currently have the funds to replace it, and it still works quite well for my needs as a full-time student; however, last week I moved into a new apartment and discovered that for whatever reason it no longer recognizes its onboard sound card or speakers. Additionally, sound no longer works through the headphones, and I've also attempted to update drivers but it made no difference. There is a red circle x over the speaker icon in the tray and I recieve a "No Audio Output Device is installed" message when I scroll over it. I'm running on Windows Vista and the speakers worked fine just last week. Lastly, I attempted to find the sound card myself to see if perhaps it needed reseating, but I had no idea where to look. Any help to resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated.
Hello fredo5,
Please take a look at the troubleshooting steps in this document, and let me know if it helps resolve your sound issues.
Good luck!
