Need to buy an Airport Card.

Hi guys,
I've just bought a......
Power Mac G5 (Machine Model: PowerMac11,2)
Dual 2.3 GHz PowerPC G5
3 GB DDR2 SDRAM
and I need to install an Airport card to connect to the internet.
Will any standard Apple Airport Card be ok, or is there a specific one I need?
Any links on where to buy one would be great.
Thanks, Set...

Hi, and a Warm Welcome to the Power Mac G5 Forum!

I have an iMac G4 and need to connect it to the internet. Do I need to buy an airport card or can I just use a normal USB wifi stick?

I have an iMac G4 and need to connect it to the internet. Do I need to buy an airport card or can I just use a normal USB wifi stick?

Will this need to be a special mac compatible one or will they all be fine?
You need to see "works on Mac" on the box. All such deveices require a driver. The adaptor would work in many cases except for the lack of Mac drivers. Some companies have the proper Mac drivers on their web sites, some shuffle you off to suspect third-party sites, and some have no Mac drivers at all. If you want to buy one adaptor, not have to return it or send hours searcing the web for a driver that works, look at this one:

It is best for iMacs with USB 2.0 ports. If you have only USB 1.1 ports, you can save money with this one:

Mac pro part# FA356LL/A - need to add compatible Airport card?

Mac pro part# FA356LL/A (refurbished i think changes the part number from MA356LL/A)- but im not sure...
I need to know what airport card it can take? 802.11b/g/ or n
It never had one and was always used via network cable. Now i want it to have wireless access to the internet.
any advice, thank you

You can use an AirPort 802.11n card so long as it is the right model.

That link is what you want I think. Of course you can find it else where as well, but that should include the part number to help refine your search.

Where can I buy the airport card for the G3 ibook?

Hi
I recently purchased an old ibook G3 and am wanting to use it wirelessly. I can't seem to locate the airport card that is needed to make it work. Can i buy it from the mac store online? Also, i have the airport extreme at home...will it work on that network with the airport card?? Cheers

Hi, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
No, the original AirPort card the iBook needs is no longer available from Apple.
I just checked these links for the original AirPort card today (ranked in order of price, lowest to highest, shipping not figured):

Yes, it will work with your AirPort Extreme Base Station.
Good luck with the iBook.

Buying an Airport Card

Hey everyone,
I have a Mac Mini 1.25 Ghz, PowerPC without an airport card.
I'm wondering what airport card I need to install into the Mac Mini as I am going to move it into my room for use with my Wireless network at home.
I take it it's just the Airport Extreme Card?
Thanks in advance for any and all help you can give.
-Dan

Apple sold (in theory ONLY to Apple Approved Service Providers) an Airport with Bluetooth upgrade kit for the first minis that didn't have it fitted as standard. The notion was that those who wanted it could take their minis to approved service center and pay for the kit and the labor costs to install it.
Some of the upgrade kits found their way into retail outlets and thus were available (typically around $99) for owners to buy and install themselves - though installation is not all that easy. The kit comprises an Airport Extreme card, a small 'riser' card to which the AE card fits and which then connects to the logic board, an Airport antenna, and a Bluetooth antenna.
You might want to take a look at http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00081A2UO/yahoo-ce-20/ref=nosim for availability of this kit and some information about it. From time to time I have seen them appear in other locations too - googling 'mac mini airport kit' or something similar may bring you other potential vendors. It's worth noting however that while these kits were quite plentiful a year ago, since no mini now ships without airport and bluetooth, and those that did were some time ago, the probability is that the upgrade kits will be decreasingly available as time passes.

Will I need to buy a new "micro-sim" for the iPhone 4, or is a sim card already included?

I need to re-install airport card

Hello all,
I was trying to update my macbook pro (software update) and after the update was completed the i could not connect to my wireless network any more due to the fact that my airport card was missing. How it happened i do not know.
I need to re-install to be able to access the internet via a wireless network.
Regards

Duane,
I have just purchased an AirPort Express and I am trying to set it up! I can't get anything from it when I run the setup, just what I have mentioned previously. The express plugs in and had previously been recognized. Then I tried to hook up and installed printer to it HP 5610, and now it just blinks yellow and the Setup Assistant will not even run. I tried to uninstall the HP program and also the new programs for the AirPort Express, and think I really messed it up. Now I am just trying to get it back in shape. I am pretty sure that the HP printer will not work after some research on the web, so I am not concerned about, will just exchange it for another model. I am really concerned about getting the AirPort Extreme back in order and communicating with my Express.
Thank you again, and glad to be here

Got a new Mac Pro 2008 - need to install an Airport card

Hello all,
To ensure quickest delivery I opted for the standard config new Mac Pro 8 core (early 2008). I did the same with my G5 4 years ago an installed an Airport Extreme card (with some difficulty !). Apparently the card in my G5 is not compatible with the Mac Pro. I cannot find any official reference to installing an Airport Extreme card in a Mac Pro…just a couple of 'hacks'. Apparently Apple doesn't want users to do this anymore.
Q1/ What card do I need ?
Q2/ I see 3 antenna connections labelled 1, 2 and 3 on the cables. One is for Bluetooth apparently…but which one ?
Would very much appreciate any help.
thanks in advance
PA

kura,
I ordered my Mac Pro with standard conf for the same reasons you did. I also discovered, as you did, that the newest Mac Pro required a different airport card and that installing the card doesn't appear to be user-friendly. I since found the following web site which presented installation procedure:
http://meanderingpassage.com/2007/07/18/how-to-installing-an-airport-extreme-car d-in-an-intel-mac-pro/
I also was able to order the correct card (part number MB363Z/A) through a local Mac reseller although I see that it is available from other sources including Amazon (will ship from J&R).
I ordered the card yesterday but the dealer said that it was in stock and would take a few days to arrive so I have yet to actually install it.
Having installed airport cards on a number of other Macs I've owned, it is baffling that Apple would make this so darned difficult and awkward. In retrospect I should have ordered it as a build and had Apple install it but it is what it is.
Hope this helps -

Internet Wifi for Imac - to buy an Airport Card or Not to buy?

Has anyone had any experience using an USB wireless adapter for wireless internet instead of using an Apple AirPort Card? There is an website called: afterthemac.com who sells this wireless USB adapter that claims it is 10x faster than having an Apple Airport Card... PLease advise if this is the way to go? Currently I use A Ethernet/Cable set up. Thanks.

I'll post it here again, for your sake:
Honestly, this is the best solution I've found in your situation:
http://computers.pricegrabber.com/wireless-networking/us-robotics/m/2519622/
Its cheaper overall (especially if you don't already have the required cage for your iMac), and monkey-easy to use. You plug it in, run the ethernet to your mac, and wa-la, you're up and running. It even has some advanced setup, and best of all-you can always use it on any other ethernet device (Xbox, PC, etc) that needs to grab a wireless connection.

Need Help Buying A Graphics Card For Battlefield 3...

I'm New To PC Gaming...Here's My PC I Purchased Back In June...
HP Pavilion Slimline s5-1060 Desktop
Intel Core i5-2310 2.90GHz Processor (6MB Cache)
6GB DDR3 SDRAM system memory (expandable 16GB)
1TB SATA hard drive
AMD Radeon HD 6450 graphics card with 512MB DDR3 dedicated memory

The Video Ram Is Only 500MB Which Is Pretty Bad...Just Need Some Direction Into What Kinna Graphics Card Should Buy...
Price Range $200-$330
Also Do I Need A Power Supply?

Jumpman,
Please reply after you have measured the existing Power supply.
Is it a Min ITX (3.2 x 1.7 x 6) or a TFX (3.4 x 2.5 X 7)
Athena Power has just released a news article in Smart Computing that relates to their new product line of power supplies for the Slimline cases.
Just as an example, this card needs a minimum of 400W :http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150577
Caution: You can not use a graphics card that the Power Supply does not support (PINOUT and WATTAGE). Slimline power units do not have PCIE power plug(s), as yet. (See Athena if they have any).

Advice needed for buying an AGP card for MEGA 180

Since 1 year I have a MEGA 180 with a SEMPRON 2500 processor, 512 MB DDR RAM, Lite-On DVD-R/W, Hauppauge PVR-150 running MediaPortal 2.0.0.0.-RC4 and it rocks!
I am not so happy though about the TV-output of the integrated GF4MX that came with the nForce2 chipset. I would like to disable this and insert a low profile, passive cooled nVidia-6200 with 128 MB-DDR. I am a bit worried about the power requirements of the card and the juice that the power supply (200W ) can deliver. Is it safe to use this card or should I adjust my demands? I am using the system for media purposes only, e.g. recording and watching recorded TV, watching movies and playing music. MediaPortal requires a DirectX-9 compliant card, DirectX-8 also works but with video artefacts. Gaming is no requirement.
Can anyone please advice what to do ???
Thanks in advance, Leo

Do I need to purchase an airport express card if I have a sony vio that is 3 years old?

Do I need to purchase an airport card?

The AirPort Extreme card is designed to work only with certain Mac models. There is neither a version that works with PC, nor does your Vaio require it. If your Vaio does not have built-in wireless, one option would be to get a wireless USB adapter.

G4 without airport card installed

Hi, ive got a G4 lamp style imac without a airport card installed. I have a wireless route connected to the above mac. Installed the airtunes software and it says airport card not found.
Does this mean I have to buy and airport card or can I connnect to the airport express basestation using my wireless router?
many thanks

David White15:
A Base Station won't "detect" a remote Base Station - ie you cannot just use an Airport Express, cabled to a Mac, as a replacement for an Airport card without first performing the required configuration of both Airport Express devices.
What you first need to do is set up a wireless distribution system (WDS) between these two Airport Express devices. Since you apparently don't have an Airport card equipped Mac to help you perform the configuration, you must configure each device manually, one at a time, with a direct cabled connection using the Airport Admin Utility. The general instructions are found at:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107454
This is a complicated setup, not really a beginner's project, so it doesn't surprise me you couldn't figure out how to get this all to work even with the help of Apple tech support and Apple's Knowledgebase articles. My suggestion - use one of your Airport Express devices as a Base Station, and buy an Airport card for your iMac. That will be a lot easier to set up.

Original Airport cards and e-Bay

I have a 17inch flat panel iMac, 800 mhz speed and am thinking of going wireless. I know I need an original airport card for my computer, NOT the airport extreme. I have been searching on e-Bay and found various sellers with a huge difference in prices. My question is: are there different models of the original airport card? One vendor lists an airport card model # M7600LL/A for a high price, but in the information it lists my computer as one of the models this card will work with. Another vendor has an airport card model # M7600LL/E for a much lower price but the information on the card's compatability is rather sparse. Are they the same card just with a different price? What is your advice about buying an airport card from e-Bay in general? I will also need a wireless router and have my eye on a Linksys model that a few of my friends have in their wireless networks and they recommend it highly. Any thoughts on that area?
17 inch Flat panel iMac, 800mhz Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Basically the difference between the two is one was for American market I believe and the other the European market.
Both should work fine.
Original Airport Card Alternatives

A Mac with an original Airport card can connect to any wifi certified 802.11b wireless network (or 802.11g in backward compatible mode).
Out of all the different wireless routers I have used, I have found my Airports to be reliable and easy to setup.
