Third party wi fi card for Powerbook 17"

I have a Powerbook 17" that has built in airport express that is not working properly. It worked great for about a year, then the signal stopped working -0 it now has to be withing a couple of feet of the base station. I have 4 other macs that continue to work fine on the same network, it is just the powerbook that has problems (no software upgrades, settings changes, etc.)
I have been told that I have to bring it in to Apple and have it sent away to be fixed, unfortunately I need it everyday for work and can't afford to be without it for a week or more.
I was wondering if there is another type of wifi card that I can install that would work without any issues on the Powerbook 17" running Tiger.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Dear JPL,
Thank you for your answer.The software give the possibility to use this card. I have a problem of affordability of that software because it is complicated to manage the connection.
I want to know if is it possible to use this card with the genuine Apple Airport software, this is the main issue that I would want to resolve.
Thank you again.
Best regards,
pan

My third party lightning sd card reader sold to me in the Singapore Apple shop no longer works w

My third party lightning sd card reader sold to me in the Singapore Apple shop no longer works under iOS 7

Having the same problem with one I bought with my iPad in the Regent Street Apple Store. Not sure why it wouldn't work unless the OS now needs the lightening Connector certificate to use a card now.
I am hoping there will be a fix real soon or maybe someone knows a work around?

How do you add a third party sensor to LabVIEW for Lego Mindstorms?

I recently purchased an IR Sensor from Mindsensors (DIST-Nx-Long-v3) which I need for a SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping Application) that I am developing using the LabVIEW for Lego Mindstorms software. I installed the Mindsonsors IR Sensor, and it works under NXT-G and RobotC, but am having trouble finding a way to get LabVIEW for Lego Mindstorms to install the sensor.
The Mindsensors website gives the following instructions for installing the IR Sensor:
1.Unzip the folder mindsensors.com LVEE
2.Open a blank vi in LVEE
3.On the Block Diagram Go to Tools->Advanced->Edit Palette Set...
Unfortunately, on the Block Diagram of the LabVIEW for Lego Mindstorms, there is no "Advanced->Edict Palette Set" under Tools.
As an alternative, I consulted the documentation that came with LabVIEW for Lego Mindstorms. The Schematic Editor of LabVIEW for Lego Mindstorms lists several sensors, i.e. the Lego Mindstorms sensors and several Hi-Teach (HT) sensors, but there are no procedures listed in the documentation for adding other third party sensors to the Functions Palette.
So, how does one go about adding a third party sensor to LabVIEW for Lego Mindstorms?

Hi Ethan,
As you can see from my Word document, I am a little light on the proper terminology. That's because LVLM comes with inadequate documentation.
I have already followed your recommended protocol for installing a 3rd party sensor (in fact, its the protocol recommended by Mindsensors) with the application set in the Remote Mode (.lvrbt), and it does create a sub-palette with all the Mindsensors functions on it. But when I drag the Mindsensors icon to the Block Diagram and select "Distance Sensor," the Distance Sensor (an IR sensor) doesn't work (even though the Mindsensor's Distance Sensor does work with NXT-G, RobotC and LVLM under other circumstances (see below)).
If I repeat the above process with the application set in the Direct Mode (.vi), I also get the sub-palette with all the Mindsensors functions on it. When I drag the Mindsensors icon to the Block Diagram and select "Distance Sensor," the Distance Sensor does work.
What I need for my mapping application is for the Distance Sensor to work in the Remote Mode. I called NI tech support and the first engineer told me to simple drag the Mindsensors Functions (.vi) onto the Block Diagram. I did this, but when I selected the Distance Sensor, the icon appeared, but the sensor did not work. Since I have no idea what's under the hood of the vi or a function, I assumed that simply dragging the vi/function onto the desktop didn't install the vi/function properly. I went back to the Applications Engineer, and he confessed that he did not understand the LVLM product.
My frustration is being punted to new people, none of whom so far (other than you, of course) understand LVLM.

I don't know that is a huge number of alternatives for Fractal plugins. You'll no doubt come across links for Fractalius and Genuine Fractals, but the first produces interesting strand like effects (after a very long wait) and the second is an image resize plugine which now belongs to On One, and is sold as Perfect Resize. And even that has been made irrelevant by the Preserve Details upres option in CC.
You are alos wize to be careful. Previous trusable sites like cnet on softonic are a nightmare nowdays, and too many of the free apps you find on them come loaded with malware. Some of it _serious_ malware DAMHIKIJKOK
But have a look at Fractal Explorer. I don't have experience with it, but it comes with the Pixel Bender name behind it, which is like a badge of excellence.

Does anyone recommend a third party app called siri-for-iphone-4?

I saw a third party app called siri-for-iphone-4 which is supposed to add siri to older iphone 4, but do not know if it is suitable or useable.

Is it an app that you can download from the App Store? If it is not, it would require that you jailbreak your phone which would void your warranty. Definitely not worth it, in my opinion.l

I have a DVD-Rom and DVD-Video card for Powerbook and need advice

I acquired 2 accessory components for a G3 series powerbook. I have a dual G4 so have no use for them. There is a M4743 DVD-Rom for Powerbook and a DVD-Video PC card for G3 series Powerbook family M5163. There is also a software CD. I would like to sell them but I really don’t how to explain what this stuff does. I tried Ebay and did not find any matches. Does this make a DVD upgrade for a particular Powerbook? Is something else required? Is Ebay the best place to sell? Any idea what this stuff is worth? Any advice would be greatly appreciated
Bob

Robert,
You apparently have the DVD Video Player Kit for the Powerbook G3 Series "Wallstreet" M4753.
This is the DVD-ROM module:

This is the DVD Decoder PC card:
http://www.ifixit.com/cart/customer/product.php?productid=296&cat=&page=1
The above DVD PC card is not Apple's but there were two third-party vendors who also offered a DVD kit...VST and MCE. They all served the same purpose and will all be priced similarly.
Both PC card and optical drive are required to play DVD movies on the Wallstreet, plus Apple DVD Player is only supported when booted to 9.x, not 10.x.
I really cannot give you a fair price to ask; the above hardware prices are probably high but you will get an idea.

Prevent Third Party / Sales order stock for blocked vendors

Hi Experts.
We have scenarios for Third party processing and Sales order stock. We have a scenario of a fixed vendor for a material. The purchasing function frequently does block vendors for purchasing.
However, we find that this does not prevent creation of a third party / sales order stock item in the sales order and a PR is generated. It is only found during the PR --> PO conversion that the vendor is blocked at which time someone has to manually reject the line items.
Is there a way to prevent the system from being able to generate a PR for a blocked vendor ? I guess one possibility is to enhance the requirement routine for PR creation. Is there any other approach ?
Appreciate your help
Regards
Rohit Zalani

Hi
In MK05, block vendor for all Purchasing org and Select Block Function = 03 Block quot. req., order, goods receipt
If you do this setting then user will get error message that "Vendor is blocked" and "Purchase requisition could not be generated for component".

Third party PO Process -Looking for better solutions

what would be best solution for the below business process
We have one corporate headquarters(A) which has 3 plants(Plants X,Y and Z).
Corp.HQ (A) deals negotiation with one supplier directly and buys the materials and responsible for the payment.
but the goods should be directly delivered to the plants ...not to Corp.HQ
At the same time the receiving plants,intern have to pay to the corp.HQ for the same.
I can think of 2 step process for this process
Step 1 : Creating Third party PO between Corp.HQ and Supplier
Step 2 : Creating a Stock transport order /Intercomp order between Corp.HQ and receiving plants
But is there any solution with Single step or any other better solution for this process?
Thanks in advance
Thanks and Regards,
Kesavan

The first step is not ok in my opinion, since the goods will be posted for consumption, so there will be no stock to be transferred via the intercompany STO (2nd step in your process).
In SAP it is possible to use central purchasing organisation. What if the HQ would be represented in the purchasing process as a central purch. org. and it would issue a "normal" PO to the vendor (one PO: vendor --> manufacturing plant)?
In this case you should solve the payment process only (HQ --> vendor; plant --> HQ) - if the HQ would be set as invoicing party in the PO, the payment between HQ and plant would be solved. In the vendor's SO the HQ should be set as payer/invoicing address, the HQ would receive the invoice and eneter it w/o any PO (but enter the real PO number as reference).
You would need some development to integrate the two incoming invoices not to have discrepancy.
Just an idea...

Third Party CA certificate requirement for Cisco expressway C and E

Hi All,
We have implemented MRA solution for our customer, We had ask to procure the CA certificate from Third party CA certificate issuing vendor.
We had shared CSR request generated from Expressway C and E application to generate SSL certificate, As per cisco document we had ask to procure “Quick SSL premium single domain” CA certificate for Expressway Series E and C server but as per the certificate issuing vendor, the application required “Quick SSL premium multi domain” as they observed extra SANs in CSR generated from the Expressway C and E applications. Need help to find out application required certificate, who are using Third Party CA certificate for MRA solution.

First of all, I don't see how you cant get away with single domain certificate. I have looked into this more. This is because you need to add your domain name in the SAN as detailed below.
Secondly, I am not sure where you are going to generate the certificates from..You should generate your CSR from here..
Go to Maintenance > Security certificates > Server certificate
NB: Customer’s service discovery domain is required to be included as a DNS SAN in all Expressway-E server certificates
This is what the CSR page looks like

Airport Extreme card for Powerbook G4 12"

I want to get an Airport Extreme card for my 12" Powerbook, however, am a little confused as to which one will work with it. I am currently running a 867Mhz PowerPC system. I have seen two part numbers for the Airport Extreme card, A1026 and A1027. I was hoping that someone might be able to clarify the correct one I need, thanks.

behappysomeday, Welcome to the discussion area!
Those cards are both the same thing. Either one will work.

New wifi card for PowerBook G4 (2002, OS 10.4.11)

Hello,
Can anyone recommend a wifi card for a PowerBook G4?
I've just bought a secondhand model, and I'd like to broaden its wifi capability. Being able to use WPA security would be a good start.
- Richard

I bought the WiFi card from eBay. It's a Chinese clone of a Motorola WN825Gv3 (part number: 518565-001-00). Here's the old eBay link: http://bit.ly/XmW0Gb
I can't remember exactly what settings I used on my Powerbook – mainly because I clicked things at random until it worked – but I did have to click "renew lease" in WiFI settings to get the card to work.
I didn't have to change any settings on my router, but the card isn't compatible with 5Hz WiFi frequencies, or the "n" speed WiFi.
Other than having to renew the lease occasionally, the card works smoothly.

Airport card for powerbook G4 12" Aluminum

I have a powerbook G4 12" aluminum and I have looked everywhere for an airport card. I have gotten two original airport cards and they did not fit,these cards are just a smidge too wide for the card slot. I know there is an apple card that will fit it because it had one installed at one point. I do recall a comment that there was a "small" airport card for the 12" aluminum but I have had no success in locating one. Can someone please help?

Yes, you could, but sometimes those people charge more than Apple does for its refurbished ones. And Apple's comes with a one-year warranty, while the eBay people usually don't, unless it's an eBay storefront seller. (Whatever they're called).
So, use your best judgment. Coming from me who buys things on eBay a lot, I'm not saying eBay is bad. But just comparing the two ($29 with a one-year warranty and straight from Apple, versus whatever price on eBay, same/higher/less than Apple's price, but possibly without warranty, etc., in this case, Apple would be the best bet).
The Apple Store (U.S.) - Refurbished AirPort Extreme Card
Message was edited by: Pismo 900
Just looked over at eBay and did a search for "Airport Extreme Card" and the prices for Buy It Now range from $24.00 to $40.00. Current bids for those that are bid-only range from $0.99 to $18.00. So $29 from Apple isn't bad at all. (I do not work for Apple, by the way).

3rd Party SATA raid cards for internal drives?

All --
Apart from the discussion as to if RAID actually benefits a home desktop system, I am wondering if anyone has the lowdown on using 3rd party SATA raid cards to support the INTERNAL hard drives on the Mac Pro series?
My Mac Pro is still slated to be built at Apple and for now I have the minimum memory and HD spec being requested at Apple, with the plan to upgrade the memory and drives from OWC or another vendor.
I've toyed with the idea of utilizing Disk Utility's software RAID features (e.g. RAID 0 for scratch disks, RAID 1 for boot, RAID 0+1 for all else.) I've also toyed with the notion of searching for a hardware raid solution which would allow me to transfer the internal SATA cable runs from the motherboard to a host adapter card for an internal multi-channel experience (with options to create and break mirrors to external devices for backup purposes.)
So....
Has anyone experience or utilized 3rd party hardware raid controllers which can connect to the internal HD bays? Are there limitations to this (ie, does the boot drive HAVE to reside off the internal motherboard controllers, or can an internal hardware controller successfully boot the system) of which ought be noted?
Finally, in the event that a host adapter card cannot drive the interna bays, can anyone give feedback to hardware SATA cards to power external drive bays with support for Disk Utility (to allow RAID1 pairings of internal drives to external snapshot-backup drives)?
Thanks for your time,

I am wondering if anyone has the lowdown on using 3rd party SATA raid cards to support the INTERNAL hard drives on the Mac Pro series?
There are many 3rd party controllers that support the internal HDs if an internal iPass connector is used. The problem is that some are bootable but most are not.
The Areca ARC-1680ix-12 and the HighPoint RocketRAID 4320 are bootable. However, the system cannot be installed via the Apple DVD. Instead the user needs to clone a boot drive with the proper drivers to the boot volume on the controller and then boot from the 3rd party controller.
The other issue I found is that these controllers do not support Boot Camp. If Boot Camp is desired, my recommendation would be to leave the internal HDs on the Mac Pro internal bus intact and use the 3rd party controller for external storage. This method provides four internal bays that are bootable, support Boot Camp and can be used for system backups. I use the 3rd party controller for external storage for large RAID sets and hot swapping hard disks.
With the internal bays intact and external hot swap RAID storage available the user can support Boot Camp, multiple system volumes and large external RAID sets. From my experience using a 3rd party controller with the internal HD bays always has some limitations. The user usually does not realize it unit later when Boot Camp does not work or the computer fails on a system upgrade or the controller does not work at all with a new version of Mac OS X.
Staying with the standard internal Mac Pro bay configuration will be the best configuration to avoid compatibility issues with future versions of Mac OS X. It is rumored that the new Snow Leopard may require 64-bit drivers. If that is the case, I would expect most if not all existing 3rd party controller drivers to fail. Some drivers will be upgraded after a few months while others may not. Having the internal Mac Pro SATA controller intact should at least allow the Mac Pro to boot if my guess about compatibility issues is correct.
can anyone give feedback to hardware SATA cards to power external drive bays with support for Disk Utility (to allow RAID1 pairings of internal drives to external snapshot-backup drives)?
There are a large number of external controllers that work with Disk Utility. Here are some of my favorites.
