Need a wireless usb adapter that works with my iMac G4 Flatscreen

I have an iMac without an airport card. I am trying to find a thrid party solution. Does anyone know of a third party wireless usb adapter that works with my Mac?

Hi Bill I noticed that list you posted mainly shows devices that require purchasing 3rd party drivers from companies such as ioxperts.
If you use a device that has ralink chipset you can use their drivers free of charge.

Is there such a thing as a USB WIFI adapter that works with OS X 10.9?

Is there such a thing as a USB WIFI adapter that works with OS X 10.9? I have tried 3 different models, none of which were compatible. The built-in WIFI card in a 2012 Mac Pro is absolutely crap (0/10 on the performance scale). Any recommendations?

Hey everyone, yes I have installed the drivers properly. I've used an ASUS, Bolse, and EDIMAX adapter. Some had a 10.8 driver, some had 10.9. After reaching out to customer support for each and every one of these companies for help, and through multiple returns, I have not gotten anywhere with any of the drivers or products.
It's getting ridiculously hard to stay an Apple customer when the quality of their products are getting worse and worse, which leaves me no choice but to go to third parties to replace the faulty hardware.
And honestly I'm just sick of calling India every day to get my issues resolved.

How to get wireless usb adapter linksys working to get on internet?

Hi, does anybody know any general way to get my linksys wireless g usb adapter to work on Solaris 10? I plug it in and nothing happens. This is a question
Edited by: Usulyre on Nov 4, 2007 9:56 PM

A general option would be to search the HCL on bigadmin.com and buy/swap/barter for a supported adapter.
Another option is to switch to OpenSolaris and search the aforementioned opensolaris community for supported hardware and then buy/swap/barter for supported hardware.

Does anyone know if any usb keyboards will work with a imac g3

Do all usb keyboards and mice work with the imac g3

Jimmer,
Just a note on PC keyboard function keys. The windows function keys work but you will get frustrated by the location of the command key. The 'undo' and 'cut' and 'copy' and 'paste are z x c and v but the command key on a PC keyboard is where the 'control' key is on a mac. You will be giving the wrong command if you use the mac key location and the PC location is a stretch for your thumb to reach. There is no harm done by plugging in another brand of USB device.

Wireless print server that works with Macs and Epson R1800?

Hi,
I'm looking to buy a wireless print server, which I could use as if the printer was connected directly to my Mac. So basically, it just needs to have printing over IP port (like port 9100 on HP JetDirect) and drivers for Mac OS X (or ideally, no special drivers needed at all). Devices that do sharing of the printer only over LPD (older Unix), SMB (Windows), IPP (Cups / newer Unix) or similar protocols is not what I'm looking for here.
The reason why LPD, SMB and IPP are not an option is that I'll need utilities such as Epson Printer Utility to work over the network too.
It looks like Linksys, Belkin and some other have products that allow access to the printer over port 9100 (standard HP JetDiret's port) as if the printer was connected directly to the computer. However, for the most part I was able to find only success stories for Windows users.
Windows has standard driver that allows connection to the printer to be easily switched from USB port to network port. Does OS X comes standard with that feature, or is the special driver needed?
Most importantly, has anybody had success with printing from Mac through wireless print server (any brand) to Epson R1800? Did the Epson Print Utility (checking the ink levels, checking and cleaning the head, etc) work? Any special drivers needed?
Thanks

direwolf has hit the nail on the head - the Epson driver won't work for IP printing. The Epson driver is a Carbon driver, where they build the comm protocols into the driver instead of enabling use of the standard protocols on OS X (that are part of the CUPS system). You'll need a CUPS driver to use the standard network protocol(s). The printfab driver is a CUPS driver.
Exception - the Apple Extreme/Express/etc print servers have firmware that make them work like Macs - Mac-to-Mac sharing works with USB-only drivers! I hesitate to recommend the Extreme/Express, because Apple can't seem to get all the kinks out.

Any PCIe USB cards that work with Yosemite?

I have a late 2012 MacPro currently running OSX 10.10 (Yosemite). I search for a PCIe card with a minimum of 4 USB ports what will work with this system (most I've found online so far indicate "incompatible with Yosemite"). Anyone aware of a card out there that does work? I am not connecting hard drives to the card so speed is not an issue (the card could be USB 2 or 3).
Thanks,
Carl

I've been using one of these
<http://www.sonnettech.com/product/allegro_express_usb.html>
for years in my 2008 Mac Pro. USB 2.0
Works fine with Yosemite.
(Don't worry about the big power connector on the card. It's not used for a Mac.)

HT2801 Apple Store said that the USB SuperDrive would work with my iMac that already has an internal optical drive to be used as a secondary drive, but I can't get it to work when I plug it in the usb port.

Apple store said the USB SuperDrive would work as a secondary drive with my iMac.
After plugging into my USB port, I find it doesn't work. Has anybody else tried this.

Which USB Superdrive are you referring to? If this is the one:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD564ZM/A/apple-usb-superdrive
it states it works with Macbook Air, Mini, or MBP with Retina display. If they told you differently, take it back for a full refund and show them their own website.

Are there ANY firewire interfaces that work with 24" imac 2.16 Core 2 duo?

This is really getting frustrating. I have now tried and failed at getting both an m-audio profire lightbridge and a TC electronic studio konnekt 48 to work on this computer. Both interfaces were tested with Leopard and Tiger, no success.
My computer is NOT the aluminum imac, it's the earlier whiteface version, so it's supposed to have the TI chipset(I've been told that the aluminum imacs don't work because they have a agrere chipset....) The firewire port works fine with an external hard drive, but no one seems to be able to write software drivers that work.
If anyone is successfully running a firewire interface with this model computer please let me know what OS you are running, the interface, and what software you are using.
I'm starting to think that the problem is on apple's end, it shouldn't be this hard for third party manufacturers to write reliable drivers. both m-audio and tc electronic's forums are littered with complaints about bad drivers for the last year or so.

Yildox - I've been doing a little more research... Your imac has a known problem, it's the particular firewire chipset it uses, made by Agere. The older white versions have a Texas instruments chipset, which is supposed to be better, though I haven't had any success with mine so far in the audio interface department.
I really think that the problem is bigger than that though. Everyone having a problem with a firewire audio interface seems to have one similarity, a mac made in the last 2 years running OS 10.4.9 or later.

Hi
All ISP's work with a Mac but most ISP's wont give support.
Some ISP's to look at ZEN http://www.zenbroadband.com/athome.aspx they have Mac support.

I need to find a powered usb hub that works with my Macbook pro

I've got a macbook pro mid 2010. And 2 usb ports isn't enough. Even with the powered hubs taht I have tried none will seem to charge my ipad 2. It only works if it is plugged directly in to the Macbook. So is there a powered usb hub out there that can handle having an ipod and and ipad plugged into them and actually charge these devices. Thanks in advance.

Yes. Google...

USB Camcorders that work with New FW-less Macbook

I cant resist. I need to get my hands on one of the new silver toys.
But I also need to make videos of my clients.. Right now I have a DV Camcorder going into my old iBook and I record directly with iMovie 06. I don't import the DV tape
Which USB camcorder can give me the same functionality? Is USB fast enough for this?
NB I don't want to record on the camera's HD or Flash Card, but just want to stream the video into the Mac book directly.
NB 2 I do want to be able to use it as a normal camcorder for other projects though so a "normal USB web camera" is not what i am looking for

The only other thing that I can think of is this http://store.apple.com/us/product/TR877LL/A?fnode=MTY1NDExOA&mco=NzYwMjE2#overvi ew
But, like you said, the best way is through firewire.
I have used several usb based camcorders with the new macbook with success, such as Canon HF10, Sony CX7 and Panasonic SD9. I have used both USB connection and SD card adapter and they import into iMovie fine. But the problem is, without firewire, I dont see a good solution for streaming, or capturing into the Mac directly on the fly. I may have to try the Pinnacle product above, but would much rather just have firewire.

Can somebody recommend a cheap USB webcam that works on 2011 iMac running lion?

I'm a drummer who sometimes posts videos on YouTube. Sometimes I want an overhead shot of the drums and it isn't practical or safe to hang my iMac 21.5" over my head to shoot the video with the built in camera haha! I tried an old microsoft lifecam and a Xbox live cam but neither worked. I want to use moviemaker. Thanks!

I need a USB Headset with Mic to use for Webinar's and Go To Meeting sessions. There looks to be very few options that work with the Mac as they seem to be designed for Windows. Any suggestions on equipment?

I am looking for a binaural USB headset with microphone to use during Go To Meeting sessions and Webinar's. Seems to be little that works with the iMac and most of the web searches have not been encouraging. Any suggestions on units that work. I have a new iMac running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
