Panther Pismo can't detect airport card

Hi, I just bought a used Pismo on eBay running 10.3.9. I plugged in the airport card I'd been using in my iMac and the Pismo can't see it, not even in the system profiler. I ran a search under "airport" and I can't find any software installed with that name. What do I need to do? Will the Pismo see the card even if there's no airport software installed? Any other ideas?
Thanks!
-Ian

Ian,
You could try downloading all the AirPort software you need:
http://www.apple.com/airport/
Or reformatting the disk and reinstalling everything you'll need. Highly recommended as you have no idea what is installed, keyloggers and all.
Is the AirPort card in the AirPort card slot, or is it in the PCMCIA card slot ?

Mac Pro USB port can't detect SD card reader.

My new macpro ( 2014) can't detect SD card reader with all 4 USB port ! I try to test with macbook Pro it's work properly ! What wrong with my USB port ?

This is too obvious, but neverthelees:
Have you checked that the card works on another computer?
Does a different USB or FW device work on the same computer port?
Is there a card actually in the reader?

Can not detect wireless card

WRE54G / Win XP SR2
My laptop and PDA can connect to the network wirelessly with no problems.
Trying to connect my WRE54G to my network. On every attempt at AutoConfigure nothing happens. Have disabled router security and 'SPI Firewall' (whatever that is). Still nothing. Have disabled router security and 'SPI Firewall' (whatever that is), and McAfee Firewall. Still nothing. I have moved the WRE54G to within ~4 feet of the router and tried everything again. Still nothing.
I have tried Setup but when I hit 'Next' I get the popup "Can not detect wireless card."
Have tried a reset and have unplugged/replugged the WRE54G. FWIW, the WRE54G 'Link' light blinks blue once for about a second and turns a constant red. The 'Activity' light blinks blue twice quickly about every 5 seconds. Nothing on my PC shows any response.
What is the wireless card that can't be found? The WRE54G?
How do I resolve this?

this worked for me too. Although I was never able to use the cisco install wizard successfully. I am using WEP security on my access point. I took the following steps.
1. From laptop, connect to network wirelessly with WEP security settings in place
2. From laptop, open browser, go to: 192.168.1.1, select wireless security, disable wireless security
3. From Range Extender, hold auto-configure button. It took me multiple attempts (~5) and it connected so the 'Link' light changed from red to a consistent blue.
4. From laptop, disable security for the access point (via control panel, wireless network connection settings)
5. From laptop, connect to wireless access point (via control panel, wireless network connection settings). test internet connection. Internet should work.
6. From laptop, access range extender web utility. open browser, got to 192.168.1.240, enable security, input desired WEP security settings/passphrase.
7. From laptop, enable wireless security for the access point. from browser, go to 192.168.1.1, select wireless security and enable it. use the same settings from step 6 (from the range extender).
8. From laptop, update wireless adapter settings to connect using the same security settings (eg. passphrase) from step 6/7.
range extender, access point and wireless adapter/laptop should all be connected.

BlackBerry Z10 Second can't detect Sim card

Hi All
I just bought a Blackberry Z10, secondhand from people I met from Internet
The Blackberry is still kinda new, used only for a month. And I got it pretty much cheaper
But the problem is, this Z10 can't detect sim card (yes the previous owner been telling about this before. She said its happened after she's upgrading the software)
So, I bought it, and re-installed the software (10,2 - 10,3 - even back to 10,1) still not working.
I'm trying to search the similar issues on Google, and found that it possibly because the simcard reader is broken
I check the simcard reader, I'm not really sure, but yes, seems there one pins missing on there. I saw only 3 pins on my Z10 simcard reader. Haven't seen any other Z10. Would you mind to check your Z10? How many pins on there?
And also, does the warranty will cover this issues if I claim it? I mean, it seems because human-error (previous owner might put the sim card not really carefully).
If not, how much it cost to fix it and change the simcard reader part? Well think I'm not gonna gambling anymore to buy a cheap gadget in the hope I can't fix it by myself
Thank you for help!

Hi Aliarroughi
Z10 I have a 3 sim card reader. there seems to be damage to your z10 sim card reader. try to correct the sim card reader price only $ 25

Skype can't detect sound card

Skype was working just fine previously when making a video call (could hear the other person well - no problems.) Then I stopped using the monitor stereo speakers and installed desktop speakers.
Wasn't happy with them and uninstalled them about a day or two later. When I tried to make a video call again (after choosing monitor speakers again under the pc control panel - sounds and audio devices, also tried to choose monitor stereo speakers in Skype but didn't see this option) - there was no sound - even on the Skype test.
So I tried "check settings" and saw under speaker - "can't detect your sound card". Under adjust speaker settings there's no speaker suggestions at all - it just says none.
I also cancelled the speaker setting on SoundMAX digital integrated audio under the control panel.
I have rebooted the system but still the same problem!

I'v sorted out the problem. Sorry for the inconvenience!

IPhone 3GS can not detect SIM Card after upgraded to iOS 6.0.1

Guys I really need your advice please...
I upgraded my iPhone 3GS 32GB from iOS 5.1.1 to 6.0.1 a couple weeks ago and since then it can not detect the my SIM Card ever. Before it's been upgraded, the phone was working just fine, but now it's just like a gameboy to me. I've been trying to find solution and some stores want me too pay quite amount of money to fix it but I refused.
By the way, it has been jailbroken with RedSnow, tethered of course... and all the features are working perfectly, the WiFi is working, syncing is working, Bluetooth is working, downloading apps from App Store is okay, but only Mail and Safari won't work. I haven't got a chance to go to Apple Service Center to fix it yet, but the store I went said that Apple may say the same.
Thanks in advance.
ps to Admin: I'm a newbie, so if I posted this in the wrong room please forgive me.

Thanks Chris for your solution.
But just for you know that I bought Apple to get the 'after service', they should've warn the users not to upgrade to a higher OS if it can caused the phone 'dead'. Mine was totally unusable when it's just been upgraded. It stayed in the recovery mode and couldn't be restored. So I brought it to the nearest store and they did that to me, and eventually the phone is working, only it cannot detect my SIM Card...
The problem is not about upgrading an iPhone to a newer version of iOS. Your problem was upgrading a hacked phone, one of the well known consequences of which is re-locking and/or bricking the entire device when restoring in iTunes. You chose to hack your phones firmware and operating system, so you must accept the consequences of going outside the bounds of normal use that Apple prescribes and supports.
Had you not hacked it in the first place, you likely would have never had a problem, and if you had, Apple would have offered support to deal with it. Your choice, your decision, your consequences.

Computer can't detect airport

Hi, I'm trying to install an old airport express on someone else's computer but the computer can't detect the born

The modem will connect to the first device that it sees, so this tells us that the modem has associated with, and will remember your computer.
When you connect the AirPort to the modem, the modem still looks for your computer, but cannot find it, so it refuses to issue an IP address to the AirPort since it has not associated with the AirPort.
So, you need to make the modem "forget" your computer. You do that by pushing the reset button on the modem....if present...and then powering off the modem completely for at least 30 minutes. Longer is better. Pull the power supply from the back of the modem or unplug from the wall.
Power off the AirPort Express as well
After the power down period, power up the modem and let it run for 10-15 minutes by itself.
Then, power up the AirPort Express and let it run for 5-10 minutes.
If the Apple Store configured the AirPort correctly, you will have an Internet connection now. If not, then we have to go back to square one and completely reset the AirPort and modem again.

Where can I find airport card or airport extreme card

I want to make my g4 wireless where can I find these cards to do so? Any recommendations to purchase them? Thanks in advance

Instead of using either of the AirPort cards, you may want to consider using a USB wireless adapter instead. The advantage of this would be that thise adapters support the newer 802.11n networks. FWIW, I use one with my G4 Quicksilver Power Mac and it works great. There are a number of vendors out there that sell these. One example would be Other World Computing (OWC).

Can't detect airport please help

My Macbook pro was bought in June 09 after limited use the screen and other parts had to be replaced. When I got it home we were having difficult connecting to the internet provider after this was rectified I found that I couldn't connect to the network with the message 'No airport card detected' Upon returning it to apple I was told that the warranty was null and void as it had water damage which to my knowledge had not occurred if true whilst in my possession. Could someone please help as to what action I should adopt now. I see that there are numerous complaints about airport card not working and an identical complaint as mine except no mention of water damage is made, Please Help

This is something you will have to take up with apple directly. You might argue that there airport was fine until you took it into apple. As for the water damage, I have no idea how you would swing that other than it must have occurred in apples possession.

Detecting airport card in MacBook Pro unibody Mid 2009

I own Mid 2009 Macbook Pro Unibody. Airport was working fine, but now says No Airport card installed. Curious how I can check harware is present(no loose card). I saw other software related suggestions but did not resolve.
Shouldnt the airport card be listed under System Profiler --> Hardware ?
I see Airport under System Profiler --> Network, but only Software version details are present.
Many Thanks!

I have a 15.4" 2.66GHz Mid 2009 MBP on 10.6.1 and I am having a similar problem. I honestly do not recall having the issue before installing Snow Leopard. The problem I have is it seems whenever it first wakes from sleep I can instantly use the keyboard and enter my password to unlock it but the touchpad is almost completely unresponsive for the first 5 - 10 seconds then it starts responding some, but like was mentioned if I swipe with 2 fingers it seems to respond as it should with just 1 finger. After approx 1 minute or so it seems to fully wake up and then my touchpad works normally from then on. So it seems to only happen when first waking from sleep.

How and if I can update my airport card slot in my Powerbook G4.

I bought a used powerbook G4 a week ago, and it was in good condition, but it did'nt come with an airport card. So I went out and bought the new airport extreme card from london drugs, and read my manual on how to install it. Then I took the laptop apart and tried to fit the airort extreme card into the slot but it wouldnt fit, so then I kept on reading the manual and found out that my laptop is equiped with the original airport card slot for the original airport card that apple has discontinued, and that the airport extreme card does not go in that slot so I was just wondering if I have to buy and install a new slot that fits the airport extreme card? Can some one please help me out thanks!
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

You cannot use an AirPort Extreme card in your model of Mac. Your options for wireless access are:
1. Use the original AirPort card.
2. Purchase a third-party wireless card which will fit in your computer's PCMCIA slot.
3. Use an Ethernet adaptor such as this one.
4. Use an USB wireless adapter. This should only be done if you can't use any of the other options.

IMac suddenly can't detect airport express; all other devices can -help!

Literally overnight and with no changes in settings, etc. my iMac (running the latest version of Tiger) will not detect airport express. My laptop still detects it and connects just fine; my iphone connects via wifi, etc. It's just the iMac that isn't working.
Upon starting up my iMac this morning, I was prompted to "update airport firmware" which I did. Ever since then I can't get the computer to recognize airport.
I've worked on it for 2 hours disconnecting and resetting the modem; checking and unchecking boxes in the network settings, trying to renew the dhcp lease, etc. When I scan for wireless devices, the iMac does not detect one. If it does detect it, I get an "there was an error connecting" message.
So frustrating, especially since I have used this in the same way for over two years and have had NO problems until this morning.
The airport express has a solid green light. Any help is much appreciated!! Thank you.

Hi guys, its me again....
Dunno if is the same problem, but i dont think the problem is the airport, all of you (as i did too) tried making new users, deleting preferences, etc etc...
I tried resetting the airport, and is the same, is something in the computer that trigger the issue after the firmware in the airport, dunno how, but as far i saw, its the problem...
At least for me, after lost the connection, my airport on-off button stop working, if i turn off the airport in the upper menu or in the network preference panel, go off of course, but if i try to turn it on again, desnt work anymore, the button works of course, but never change to ON state...
that button issue isnt a hardware airport issue, is a OS issue...
:S
P.D.: i've trying to replicate some situations on the computer, programs, task etc, bcuz' by some reason there's something that trigger the desconnection... by example, right now i've more than 4 o 5 hours without the problem yet.... but.... i've using none or unusual programs to make the regular tasks...
And last night, i leave the computer connected to internet the whole night, no user interference and was online all the time...
something is the trigger..

Can an original Airport card connect to an Airport Extreme base station

I have an old iBook G3 10.3.9 with an original Airport card (System Profile says "Wireless Card Firmware Version: 8.70"). This computer/airport card connects fine with an old Airport Graphite.
But it will not connect with my main Airport Extreme 802.11n (1st Generation), running in 802.11n (802.11b/g compatible) mode. This Airport is using WPA/WPA2 Personal wireless security. This Airport Extreme works fine with my other computers and devices.
Does anybody know, offhand, whether it is just a setting, or is this completely unworkable?
Thanks in advance for any input.

I cannot remember all the details regarding the older iBooks, but suspect that the wireless card and possibly the operating system that you are using on the iBook cannot support WPA/WPA2 wireless encryption.
As a test....
Temporarily turn off the wireless security on the 1st Gen AirPort Extreme, then see if the iBook can connect to the wireless network that way.
If it can, this tells you that the wireless is at least working on the iBook....but it cannot connect to the WPA/WPA2 network.
The solution might be to use a USB wireless adapter that can handle the higher encryption levels, or connect the iBook using Ethernet.
If the iBook still cannot connect when security is disabled during the test, then the iBook has additional issues that you may or may not wish to pursue.

Can iMac with Airport card be used to supply Wi-Fi for Kindle?

I bought a Kindle for my mother, but got the Wi-Fi only Kindle. I now find out she doesn't have Wi-Fi set up. She has DSL wired to her iMac. The iMac has an Airport card which I believe can act as a base station to share internet with other Macs. But will it also allow her to use the Kindle with her internet? She lives in another state and I would have to help her set it up over iChat Desktop Sharing probably.

apparently the kindle will not connect to "ad hoc" or "peer to peer" networks, which is what the airport card creates.
the better news for you is that you can download books from amazon directly to your computer and manage them there too. from amazon's web page download the "kindle for mac" program: www.amazon.com/gp/kindle/mac
then you can start downloading books to that application directly from their site. they will appear in your documents folder and can be copied into the documents folder on your kindle, after which they will appear on the device.

Can my G4 Airport card work in my G5?

I now have a G5 (Dual 1.8 GHz PowerPC G5 [3.0]/PowerMac7,3). I have an airport card in my old G4 (PowerPC G4 [3.3] PowerMac3,6). Can I use the airport card from the G4 in my G5?
Thanks

Hi-
If the G4 is a FW800 Mirror Drive Door machine, then the Airport Extreme card is compatible in the G5.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3024
All other G4's used the regular Airport card, which will not work in the G5.
