Netgear G router compatible with new iMac 27" N?

I'm having trouble getting my bright shining new custom-built 27" iMac to connect to my Netgear G router. I thought the N built into the new iMacs was backward compatible: http://www.apple.com/wifi/80211/
What say you networking gurus?

It should work fine. It would help to know more details. For example, is the network not showing up under the AirPort icon in the menu bar? Is it showing up and selectable, but not accepting the passcode? Does it appear to connect to the network, but Internet access is not working? Those are completely different issues.
As a method of trouble-shooting, I would try to isolate the cause better.
If possible, try connecting it to the router using an Ethernet cable first, just to confirm the Internet connection is working properly. If that is too difficult due to the relative locations of the Mac and router, you can skip it. But if you find that it still does not work, the cause is more than just the wireless not working.
Try disabling the security on the router temporarily. See if you can now connect. If it does not work, there is general problem with the wireless networking. If it works with no security, then you know the cause is related somehow to the security protocol being used. You can focus trouble-shooting in that area.

  • Classic iPod does not appear compatible with newer iMac.

    I have a fairly new iMac with iTunes. I am trying to sync an older version iPod Classic to iTunes on my iMac.  Everytime I plug into the iPod USB port, I get a warning window that states: Because a USB device was drawing too much power from your computer, one or more of your USB devices have been disabled.
    I then need to select OK.  I don't have any other USB ports connected.  And I am unable to sync the iPod.
    I have all the latest and greatest updates, versions, etc.  Are the older iPods just not compatible with iMac?
    Thanks to anyone who can help.

  • Is Windows 7 64-bit Compatible with This iMac late 2013 ?

    Is Windows 7 64-bit compatible with this computer?
    Hardware and software:
    • Late 2013 iMac 27", 3.5 GHz I7, 32 GB memory, 1 TB hard drive Flash
    * 4GB Graphic Card
    • Mac OS 10.9.1
    • USB thumb drive 2.0 16GB
    • Boot Camp Assistant 5.1.0
    • Windows 7 64-bit install disk iso image
    Install steps:
    1. Use Boot Camp Assistant to install Windows 7 install (from iso image) and Apple Support Software (creates WININSTALL USB drive)
    2. Use Boot Camp Assistant to create Equal partition (500GB) on iMac internal drive and start Windows install
    3. Complete initial install steps until given option to select install partition
    4. Select 500 GB partition. Error message that partition is not formatted correctly. Use Advance Options to format (presumably to NTFS)
    5. Select 500 GB partition again and click "Next"
    6. Get error message "Setup was unable to create a new system partition or locate an existing system partition. See the Setup log files for more information."
    7. Install quits at this point
    I'm wondering if Windows 7 and/or Boot Camp is compatible with this iMac. Any suggestions will be appreciated.
    Many thanks.

    Hi, Indeed. I am selecting the Bootcamp partition, and If I do Format, It informs me that all we be deleted, ok fair enough. then I can click the NEXT button, but I got then a msg stating :

  • What PDA/Blackberry Should I purchase to be compatible with My iMac G5?

    Hi,
    I need to buy a new cell phone b/c we are moving, and I think I'd like to try a Blackberry. Can I make it compatible with my iMac, or is there a PDA that you recommend that is better? Unfortunately I have to use Cingular, so I'm limited in my choices, I think.
    Thanks!

    I purchased a Blackberry and I love it.

  • Griffin's Pro Speaker Breakout Cable compatible with the iMac G5?? HELP!

    I would love any suggestions anyone has as to making Griffin's Pro Speaker Breakout Cable compatible with the iMac G5.
    I just made the very foolish mistake of purchasing Griffin's Pro Speaker Breakout Cable for my iMac G5, which I am sure others, more up to speed on their apple products, realize are not compatible. The Pro Speaker Breakout Cable, as its name would suggest, connects to the Apple Pro Speakers Minijack available in G4s and G3s.
    I need someway to connect this Apple Pro Mini plug (2.5mm plug) to my audio-out 3.5mm output jack on my iMac. I have found this connector http://www.mpja.com/productview.asp?product=11298+AD but I am not sure if the 2.5mm Apple jack is the same as other 2.5mm jacks. Does anyone know if the two are compatible???
    I guess the other option is the iFire - or, conversely, to just forget the whole thing and get some new speakers.
    Any suggestions on the best/ most cost effective option would be greatly appreciated!!!
    Thanks in advance,
    Chris

    Forgive me for not being specific enough. I do not want to connect apple pro speakers. I want to connect my household speakers via the Pro Speaker Breakout Cable http://www.griffintechnology.com/archive/audio/prospeaker.html to my iMac. However, I did not realize that the breakout cable connected to the obsolete Apple Pro Speaker Minijack 2.5mm.
    Basically, I am just looking for the most cost effective method to get suitable sound from my computer. The threee options I am considering are:
    a) 2.5mm jack to 3.5mm plug converter allowing my breakout cable to fit into my audio input (which I am not sure will work - as I am not sure if the Apple minijack is a standard 2.5mm)
    b) get the iFire, plug my breakout cable into the iFire and then to my computer.
    c) get a different sound system entirely.
    I am really looking for any advice as to which would be best.

  • Can I use old Mac Pro with new iMac?

    I have a Mac Pro (Pre 2007) running on 10.6.8 that is ok for now, but experiencing some degradation in performance. I have 4 drive bays full and memory maxed out. I am looking for a desktop solution that would allow the option to have the latest OSX (such as the latest iMac) and access this old Mac Pro still. Is this possible?
    If so, what are some of the caveats?
    SoftwareEx: CS6 is compatible with new OSX, but will files saved on new computer still be accessible on old computer?

    NetworkCurrently using older version of Airport Extreme for home office setup
    Any insights would be helpful! I hate the thought of this old workhorse turning into nothing more than an external hard drive, but it is not upgradable to the new operating system.

    It sounds like what you want to do is create a simple peer network so you can use the Mac Pro as a storage unit.
    This is easy to do, just connect the two with an ethernet cable and log on using the logon and password for the system you want to access. In the general case, this is a bad idea since you you have unrestricted access but you own both machines so security is a very low priority.
    Caveats:
         The OS version will determine what apps a machine can run.
         Data is just data as long as both systems use HSF+ or some other common file system.
         Airport may or may not work... but a hard wire will always get it done and transfers data a lot faster.
    You almost never get to have it ALL your way when mixing generations of systems, but if you keep it simple it works well. I've had a peer network with 4-6 systems running in my house since the turn of the century. Most Macs support 1000 baseT (gigabit ether) so data transfers up to 80-90MB/sec are easy.

  • I would like to buy a flat bed scanner in the uk compatible with my iMAc 10.8.4

    I would like to buy a flat bed scanner in the uk compatible with my iMAc 10.8.4. There seems to be a gap of information between Apple and say Epson on what drivers are suitable any Ideas?

    If I look at a scanner from an online store and can't find whether it is Mac compatible there, I go to the manufacturer website and check for compatibility. Sometimes I'll find the Mac logo embedded in the scanner photo, other times I'll have to select the driver link and find if there's a download for the Mac OS I'm using.
    So far every scanner I've ever bought (that wasn't years old on some fire sale table at Staples) has been Mac compatible. Of course sometimes when the OS is updated it takes time for the manufacturer to update the driver software (and sometimes it chooses not to) but since 10.8 has been out for almost a year the former isn't going to be a problem.

    Is the Linksys E4200 Dual Band Router compatible with DHCP and VPN?
    Thanks,

    Linksys/Cisco E4200 are compatible with DHCP. Second, these Wireless-N routers are only capable of enabling the VPN traffic to pass through the device.  You will need a VPN router and software to create the actual network to connect with your VPN client.

    Thanks in advance
    Pedro

    If it is an add-on card, it should work if the drivers are properly installed.
    However, if you need more information on compatibility results, I suggest that you log a technical support ticket with MSI.
