PC Card for MacBook

Hi,
i have a PC Card (wireless 3G CDMA) I use with my laptop PC and I would like to use it in with a MacBook that lacks the PC Card slot. Is this possible via an USB adapter or so?
Thanks....

Is this possible via an USB adapter or so?
Nope. You'll need to get a USB based wireless card.

  • Internet usb dongle card for macbook?

    I am in the UK and have a black Macbook purchased October 2007 with built in web cam.
    I want to purchase a dongle USB internet card for it so i can get web access for Skype.
    Can I get such a thing? My of my clients want to stream her wedding via the built in web cam so her Dad back in Canada can see the service as the church does not have this kind of facility.
    Ad this is a one of event, can i get a "pay as you go" dongle?

    Hi Allister, Yes, all of the major UK mobile phone networks offer some kind of PAYG internet access via a dongle. Just like a PAYG mobile phone however, there is the initial outlay for the device so shop around your local phone shops. Before splashing out, you might like to check that the interior of the church isn't in a mobile phone blind spot - all that thick ancient stone! (Of course, if it's a modern church this may not apply, but still worth the check)
    Good luck,

  • Updating Graphics Card for MacBook Pro

    Hello.
    I have the most recent 13 inch: 2.5 GHz MacBook Pro.
    The thing is, I absoutley hate the Intel HD 4000 Graphics card that comes with it.
    The only game I play on my MacBook Pro is Battlefield 3, but the graphics card has a hard time trying to run the program
    Other than the graphics card, all my computer specs meet the requirements to play the game.
    MY QUESTION IS
    Is it possible to replace my graphics card with a Nvidia graphics card? Probably by opening up my laptop and putting it in.
    I heard that this way was impossible, but I am not 100% sure.
    And if that doesn't work, is there any way to get a newer graphics card? Probably externally through the bolt connection thing?
    Thank you

    Jon,
    Like yourself I found that a customized PC is the way to go for PC games. For several years Apple sort of kept up with PC graphics ability making the Macbook Pros, Mac Pros, and some iMacs close enough to play recent demanding PC games.
    The current trend of thinner and lighter for the Apple laptops has compromised the gaming capabilities to the point that I have switched to a PC Clevo P150HM for new games.  I play Skyrim on ultra settings. The best thing about these PCs is the initial customability and some upgrading ability later.
    One big question I have about the trend to Retinal displays is how much more graphics ability is required to just maintain the existing level of performance.

  • USB TV Tuner Card for Macbook Air

    Dear all,
    Hello! i'm using a Macbook Air (mid-2012) 11.6". i'm in need of a USB tv tuner card. Which brand i should choose?
    Please note that, Gadmei is the most available brand in our country. is it possible to use this brand of tv tuner (USB) with Macbook air? OS is- MacOSX 10.9.2 (mavericks). Please suggest.
    Also plz tell me is there any way to use Gadmei or RealMedia TV tuner with mac without official mac driver? (i mean using EyeTV or such third-party TV app)
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards.

    Unfortunately most of these TV devices require USB2 bandwidth so are not suitable for the iMac G3. 
    The Firewire versions (EyeTV 310, 410 and 610 depending on input type) are the only options.
    The EyeTV 250 is an analogue only Tuner that does work on USB1.1 but in a low quality mode only.

  • External Graphics Card for Macbook Pro 2011?

    Tired of just having no graphics card which really irritates when i play high graphics games....just really need to know if there is an option of using an external graphics card

    There is no external graphics solution that will be anything but much, much slower than what you have.
    If your MacBook is not meeting your needs, sell it and buy one that better meets your needs. Most of the 15" units today have a discrete graphics processor that tag-teams with the Integrated graphics for superior performance under stress, acceptable battery life when not taxed.

  • Express card for MacBook Pro

    I have a 15in MacBook Pro (Early 2008). and i have bought an Express Card from ST Lab which i cannot seem to get to work.
    When i look in the Systems Report, were does the Express Card show up??
    And were is the driver? will it automatically load up?
    Thx
    John

    I just bought the same st-lab USB3.0 expresscard on offer from Maplin, to try in a 17" unibody MBP, 2009 running Snow Leopard.
    I downloaded and installed the LaCie USB 3.0 driver, which recognized the card, since it uses the same chipset as Lacie's adapter and LaCie don't seem to have enforced any vendor tie-in (they might have for usb3.0 drives, though, not sure yet).
    In System Profiler (About this Mac -> More Info) it shows up under PCI regardless of driver, and, with the LaCie driver installed, it appears also under USB as a "USB Super-Speed Bus".
    I haven't tried it with a USB 3.0 drive yet (none to hand) but it runs USB2.0 drives just fine, power issues notwithstanding (it won't supply enough to run e.g. an Iomega 1TB USB2.0 pocket drive - needs a 2-ended USB cable with extra power supplied from one of the Mac's USB ports, or external 5v plugged into its power socket).
    I haven't tried it on a Thunderbolt equipped mac (mine is too old for that), but the LaCie driver claims to be Lion compatible.
    I also downloaded CalDigit drivers - these are based on open source code so while people report that the driver as-supplied doesn't work with non-CalDigit drives, they do provide source code under the GPL. which one could readily modify to suit other vendors. The also provide a brief PDF doc describing (very vaguely) the process to build the driver from source - this is enough for a reasonably experienced programmer but won't be of any use to the average user. The CalDigit documntation suggests issues with thunderbolt systems, implying that some or other Apple update may have stopped their driver working (this is speculation - when the LaCie driver worked I didn't investigate further.)
    All trademarks acknowledged, and it goes without saying that neither Apple, ST-Lab, Lacie nor CalDigit will support any of this in this context.

  • Sound Card for Macbook (Black) 2.4 Ghz?

    Sorry for my weak IT knowledge but can anyone please help me determine my sound card make/model? Is it the Realtek audio or is that just the driver/codec? Any info would be much appreciated. I have the lastest/most current Black Macbook with the 250GB HD & 2GB Memory. I am trying to determine a minor issue with using a PC-Only compatible recording software on the Windows XP partition. A better question may be, how can I or do I need to update the sound driver when using the Windows XP OS via Bootcamp? I have already installed the Leopard driver discs successfully (including the sound driver) on the XP OS partition. The sound works/functions correctly on the XP partition. Just wondering if there is a hardware issue between my PC software and the sound card? Please advise.
    thanks!

  • Capture Cards for MacBook

    I want to video tape my Xbox games, and I'm wondering which capture card would be the best for a Mac computer and what do I also need to use it. Thanks

    Hi B2,
    I'm not sure how you would use your Mac computer to capture Xbox 360 gameplay but I've heard that the AVerMedia devices work great for this in general.

  • Capture cards for macbooks

    I am looking for a capture card or a device the I can stream live gameplay from my ps3/tv to my mac so I can live stream it to a website like ustream or mogulus. I have been looking for a device but I don't know what works. Does anybody know what im looking for? I'm not sure if video for mac lets me stream it live to a site.

    Look at the Canopus ADVC300. Audio and Video go in, FireWire comes out. It also comes with a nice Macintosh application that works flawlessly with iMovie 06 and iDVD 08/09.

  • Upgrade RAM to 16GB or new graphics card for Macbook Pro?

    I edit very large photos daily in Photoshop CC, each photo around 25mb, with the finished PSD file at 300-500mb. I also have a dual-monitor display. There's a tiny bit of lag whenever more than one or two programs are open, and when I'm editing the screens will freeze for 10 seconds every minute or so. Is this a RAM issue, or do I just need a more powerful graphics card to power two displays? I'm a college student on a budget and want to keep this as cheap as possible. I've seen 16GB RAM on Amazon for $150, which is a stretch but doable. I don't know anything about graphics cards. Also, how would I go about installing either?

    The correct RAM specifications for a 2012 13" MBP are:   204-pin PC3-12800 (1600 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM.
    The most reliable sources of Mac compatible RAM are OWC and Crucial.

  • USB 3.0 express card for Macbook Pro on Lion?

    Does anybody know a USB 3.0 express card that works with Macbook Pro using Lion?
    I just got an IOGear express card from Amazon that did NOT make it clear that it was Windows only.
    Only after I tried to install it was it painfully obvious it was Windows only.
    Thanks

  • I bought 2 new memory card to 4 grams each - replace them in your MacBook Pro 13-inch but it will not turn on - If you are installing a card for 2 and one for 4 d all works - tell me what could be the problem

    I assume that you have installed new RAM in your MBP.
    It would be helpful if you indicated the EXACT model/year MBP that you have.
    What the the RAM specifications that you are trying to install?

    After researching this topic, I found the placing an old SIM card in a new iPad would be impossible. There is no way for consumers to remove the back cover... Without dropping it off a building. My best suggestion: Use the current plan up first. Then buy a new plan.
