Need help with pc to mac question

I have an imac. I have a pc. The pc has a wireless broadband card - it's my only internet connection and it wont connect to my mac physically. How can i connect the mac to the pc so I can access the internet connection on the mac through the pc

Would it be correct to assume that the wireless broadband card is a mobile telephone network (3G) PC Card of some kind, or is it an 802.11 WiFi card?
Also, in order to make it easier for people here to help, could you perhaps provide some additional information about the Mac and PC models, the operating system versions involved et cetera?

NEED HELP WITH MICROSOFT office/Mac/hacking.

NEED HELP: We installed Parrallels, then Windows 8.1 and go to install Office 365 and the computer won't accept it. We call Microsoft and they tell us our system has been hacked at the time we installed Windows 8.1. HELP!!!!! I have got to get may computer fix NOW>>>> I have a bid due in 2 hours and can't get office on my computer and now have a hacked computer..........NOT HAPPY WITH MICROSOFT. Please can someone help

Only Microsoft can help you get a Microsoft product working. But if what you need is software than can do most of what the various modules of MS Office can do, check out LibreOffice, which is an MS Office compatible Office suite, can run directly on the Mac (no Windows necessary), and is free. Just be sure that if the bid will be an Office document which you'll send to someone else, that you save the document in an MS Office-compatible format so they can open and read it.

HT3096 Someone please help, I'm a broke a$$ college student who needs help with a power Mac G5

Im considering buying a power mac G5 but only cuz its all i can afford and i got an idea about hooking ut up to my tv but i would want to be able to use a wireless keyboard and traction pad but i did some reserch online and found out i need a airport extreme with 2.0 EDR to enable bluetooth which is a requirement for the wireless keyboard. Where can I find the AirPort Extreme with Bluetooth 2.0+EDR card? There dosent seem to be any place online that sells it and lets say I do install the airport extreme card and enable wifi on a power Mac G5, will I be able to use a apple wireless keyboard with it? And just a side question, for the age of the computer what OS should I have installed, I'm not to femilliar with apple software, the only apple products I have are old iPods n a 4s. Oh and I would mainly use it for going online, a little bit of vid editing, watching YouTube vids, homework and uploading and listing to music, I would love to wirelessly sync my iPhone to the power Mac wirelessly.

I'm not sure if it's a good idea to go the route you go now.
You are asking for assistance and – as I understand it – you are just trying to pass a class right now, but you don't know the answers to a lot of pretty basic questions.
What's your purpose?
I – as well as many people here – could answer all your questions. Also, I could provide some misleading hints which could cause serious trouble for you in case you would use them in your exam.
You should go a different route.

I need help with information on Mac Book Air

I'm planning to buy the mac book air. I just have a few question i was wondering if people could help me out. Right now i have a sony vaio laptop i hate it to death, but thats beside the point. My question is can the mac book air use a window's mobile cellphone as a air card, because with the sony all i had to do is dl some special files and i could use the cellphone as a air card. I was wondering if this laptop can do the exact same thing???

You will need to provide information on your cell phone and service provider, but the best source would be your service provider since it would depend on what was required to access their service using a cell phone as a modem. Without more information I would guess you can because if you could on your Sony you should be able to use it on any computer provided you had the appropriate cable (usually a USB cable that connects to the phone.)

Need help with QT Pro Editing Question re: lost footage

Stumped on this issue. Had captured miniDV footage (7 minutes in length and 1.09 GB in size. I wanted to extract 12 seconds of this to send out as a clip. Steps i took were:
1) Cut the footage on either end and was left with 12 seconds i needed.
2) THen Saved File as and gave it another name.
3) Now my original file is still 1.09 GB (which it should be) but only plays the 12 seconds that i kept
If i open that file, and click save as, option to save as self contained shows that clip should be 43.6 MB which is what my renamed and altered file is.
Question, any chance i have somehow "Hidden" the content so the QT player won't play it but it's still in the file somewhere. How can i extract?
Naturally, i don't have the original master miniDV footage. any help appreciated.
Dual 2.7 PowerMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.5) iMac G4, iBook G4, Multiple Lacie Drives

1) Cut the footage on either end and was left with 12 seconds i needed.
Normal method is to set in/out points and simply "trip to selection."
Question, any chance i have somehow "Hidden" the content so the QT player won't play it but it's still in the file somewhere. How can i extract?
If the "Play selection Only" option is set, then only the 12 second segment will play but the progress bar will display the entire file to include segments before and after the "selected/playing" portion. If the progress bar is only as wide as the playing segment, then you have inadvertantly saved the "trimmed" data to the original file and the data is probably lost. Not sure if this works llike a "secure HDD delete" (which overwrites the unwanted data) or a simple "HDD delete" which only marks the data as not existing but actually leaves it it tact. If the latter, then there may be some sort of "movie undeleter" utility out there, but I personally know of none. In either case, the file size listed cannot be relied upon as it file container is much like a partially filled milk bottle now -- the bottle size remains unchanged but the bottle is no longer filled.

Need help with a dead Mac Air

So taking a long shot here. I was on my friends Macbook Air last night and it will not start at all. The Mac starts but doesnt go past the apple icon and a spinning gear icon like something is happening in the backround. Have kept it on for hours nothing happens.
Have tried all possible combinations of booting it like SMC reset, Boot in Safe Mode but nothing seems to work.
Is there any way to boot it from a USB or something?
Unfortunately since it wont start i cannot post the exact configuration.
Any sort of help will be appreciated.
Also if there is a way to restore it will be great..

If you have a boot drive on an external HDD with a compatible OS you may be able to start the MBA.
I do think that the best option is to take the MBA to a repair facility for a diagnosis and repair.
Ciao.

Need help with G4 to Mac Pro Migration!

After buying my 2.66 GHz Mac pro, i followed the instructions as to how to start up the G4 in "Target Disk Mode" for migration. Was completely useless.
Whether clicking the button in the "Startup Disk" prefs, or holding down 'T' and restarting, i got the same results: My G4 system would restart but before anything appeared on the screen, it shut down and stayed.
I've been searching all over these forums and doing a lot of reading and experimentation. It sound like a lot of people aren't having good luck with the migration wizard anyway.
II did finally manage to get the Mac Pro to log onto the G4 with a cross-over cable. But i need to transfer a tremendous amount of data both from my primary account on the G4 and 3 non-boot internal drives.
Having to go through a public folder isn't going to cut it. .MAC isn't either.
Is there some way i can link up the two systems such that i can retrieve what i want from the G4's drives (without spending additional money).

Efforts to make "Target Disk" mode function didn't seem to go anywhere.
I did at last figure out how to get access to disks all disks on my G4 from my Mac Pro, however.
For those who may need to know it required these simple steps:
{1} I connected both systems to a hub (or DSL router in my case) via ethernet. Connecting the two machines with an ethernet crossover cable also worked, but of course my access to the internet was then unavailable.
{2} Opened TCP/IP in Network prefs on both machines and set them up identically according to my ISP's instructions, as always, but with differing IP addresses.
{3} Under the Services tab in Sharing preferences i checked the box to enable "Personal File Sharing"
{4} I then chose Connect to server... {command-K} in the Finder on the Mac Pro and entered the LAN IP address of the G4.
{5} At the login prompt i entered my G4 main account login & password information.
{6} When the window with my G4 system's name came up and asked which disk(s) to mount, i selected all of them and clicked { Ok }.
Presto. The G4 main drive, my 2 disk raid, my 4th disk, and my home directory all popped up on the Mac Pro Desktop.

Need help with my 1st Mac!!

I just bought my 1st Mac used on Ebay. It is a 700Mhz G4 iMac. It came with no disks and has Panther pre-loaded on it. Can I just buy a retail version of Tiger to install or do I need to buy all of the upgrades leading up to tiger? What is the original operating system that this came with anyway?

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
You can just buy Tiger straight off; it's a full package. You can buy a single license, Family license for 5 Macs, a single education license and all come with the same disk. Be aware Tiger ships on a DVD and not all iMac G4 700MHz have a DVD-ROM drive. (You can check by going  Apple Menu > About this Mac > More Info > ).
Apple hasn't done the Upgrade version thing for several years now.
This table has a list of all the OSs that were supplied with which Macs. It's difficult to know exactly but it's between 10.1.2 and 10.2.3 with OS 9.2.2 for "Classic" support. Be aware that Classic is a way of using the old legacy OS 9 within the modern OS X architecture. As a new Mac user I'd ignore it as it only adds complexity.
You may wish to have a read of Switch 101 to give you an intro to the world of Tiger.

Need help with Click Frequently Asked Questions in iProcurement

Hi Guys,
In iProcurement purchasing homepage, we have 1. Click Frequently Asked Questions and 2. Review Purchasing policies on the right side as links.
When we click Frequently Asked Questions, its taking me to a page where standard FAQ is there. Now my requirement is, If "Frequently Asked Questions" link is clicked, then a page should open and in that i should put two links , one link will open the standard FAQ and the other link will open the Companys FAQ.
Can we achieve this thru AK Developer. When that link is clicked, what is happening in the background. Actually I checked in Applications-->Messages, by typing "ICX_POR_PRMPT_HOME_FAQ". In the message, I got this "Check <a href=javascript:FAQ()>Frequently Asked Questions</a>". This is what getting displayed on the homepage as a link. All this information, i got it from PORHOME.xml page in which a function calling that FAQ() is also written which is calling another function called "callHelp('faq')".
But I couldnt see the callHelp() where it is called. Is there any other way to implement this. Help Appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
If I could understand your requirement correctly then here is what you can do.
1. Create a complete new HTML page with the two new links and place in HTML directory.
2. Enable personalizations
3. Using personalization change the "Destination URI" to the newly created page.
Hope this helps.

Need help with my macbook Mac OS X 10.5.8

hello everyone I need your help my brother just passed me his macbook and he lost the original box where the reboot cd was so i don't have a way to restore the computer to new as if i just bought it and someone told me to get the new snow leopard 10.6 but i don't know if thats what i have to do can any one give me any advise???? i really thank you for your help

Welcome to the Apple discussions.
If you plan to keep the computer for awhile, you should call Apple support and ask for a replacement set of OS X disks. Last I recall they were around $60. They also have the Apple hardware test on them, and that's the only place to get that diagnosis tool. Or you can buy TechTool Pro, around $90, and get similar testing plus additional functions.
When you boot up the computer, click on the apple on the menu bar, on the left, and click about this mac. Right under the 'mac os x' it will tell you what version of the operating system you have. 10.5=leopard and 10.6=snow leopard.

I need help with reformatting my mac, but I dont have the installation CD's

So I have an older mac, and I am looking to sell it because I want to upgrade to a pro. I would like to reformat the hard drive so all my accounts/files/programs/settings are removed, but I do not have the installation CD's that came with the computer. Can anyone advise if there is any other way to do this or get around using the CD's?
Thanks!

Hi dpgomes, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Legally you need to include the Install Disc with the Computer if it has that OS Installed.
You could use another Mac with Firewire to Format & Zero the Disk, but who'd buy a Mac with no OS?
You could removes all your settings passwords, & such by doing this...
Make a new Admin User in Accounts, log out of this account, login to the new Admin account and delete the old account, then use Disk Utility to "Erase Free Space" on the Hard Drive.
