Trying to get on the wireless with old G5

Hi,
I have one of the first G5's and have been on the internet using a ethernet cable to my
Airport Extreme.
I bought a new computer and like to put the old G5 in another place of the house.
Can anybody tell me how I can get on the wireless with this computer?
Can I use an Airport Express and plug it into the ethernet port or do I need more stuff?
Thanks
John

Hi John,
Unless you can or wish to have an appropriate Apple wireless card installed, it ought to be possible to use the latest 802.11n (draft) AirPort Express as a wireless client the way that you have in mind (see the ProxySTA part of this article).
Otherwise, a dedicated wireless Ethernet bridge (such as Belkin F5D7330, D-Link DWL-G810, D-Link DWL-G820, Linksys WET54G, Linksys WGA600N or Netgear WGE111) could be an alternative. WPA security may or may not be supported (with or without a firmware update), so check the specifications.

    If you can't get the account's password reset via http://appleid.aple.com then try contacting Support in your country, they should (after they've confirmed your id and that it's your account) be able to reset it for you.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT5699
    If your country isn't on that page then try this form and explain and see what they reply with : https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
    After it's been reset change the primary email address on the account to be an address that you have access to : Change your Apple ID.
    And check/correct the date of birth on the account (select the Password And Security section on the account on http://appleid.apple.com, answer the security questions, and on the next screen the DoB should show).

  • HT4623 I am trying to get my contacts of an old Iphone. It show the Itunes logo and the usb portion of the plug in cord. How can I get that to go away so I can get my old contacts off of it?

    I am trying to get my contacts of an old iphone 3.  It show the Itunes logo and the usb connector of the phone charger. How can I get that off the phone and access my contacts.
    Ideas anyone?

    You need to plug it in to iTunes. Once it starts working again, back up the old iPhone to iCloud then go to iCloud in settings. Turn on contacts then you get them back. Another option is to back up to iTunes with the old one, then on the new one, go on iTunes, click restore backup, and choose the old iPhone. I suggest using icloud. Hope it helps!

  • Is it possible to get Siri to work with 'old' Car handsfree systems?

    Is it possible to get Siri to work with 'old' Car handsfree systems?
    Unless I'm missing something - Siri doesn't work well with older handsfree car systems - as typically the cars built in system handles the voice control and relays the request to the phone over bluetooth protocols.  I tried initiating siri standalone while connected to the car and it failed.
    I was hoping I might be able to do some sneaky like 'Call Siri' to enter Siri mode but it doesn't seem to work.
    I'm guessing future Car handsfree systems will be Siri aware - but making Siri work with older systems (and my car isn't old - it's a 2011 model) would be very useful.
    Has anyone come up with a workaround?  I really don't want to have to buy or use a bluetooth ear piece
    Thanks
    Adam

    I never heard anything on this and so am still unable to use Siri without touching my phone.

  • Trying to get into the app store and it asks for my password. The problem is that it is showing an Apple ID I don't use ghosted in. I can't figure out how to use my correct ID.

    Trying to get into the App Store to update some apss. It asks for my password but the problem is that it is showing ghosted an Apple ID I don't use. Can't figure out how to fix it.

    You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
    Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store alert. For example, if the App Store says you need to update "Twitter," the hacked app may be "Angry Birds" or something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you have to carry out a systematic search.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
    kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    In the Finder, press command-F to open a search window, or select
    File ▹ Find
    from the menu bar. In the search window, select
    Search: This Mac
    from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu initially showing Kind. From that menu, select  Other...
    A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select Raw Query and click OK or press return.
    Now there will be a text box to the right of popup menu. Click in that box and paste (command-V).
    The search window will show all the App Store products you've installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
    At least one of the items listed in the search window is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
    Log out and log back in. Test.

    I am using Acrobat XI Pro, version 11.0.10.32.

  • Help me please! I can't get on the internet with my new phone

    Can someone please help me. I purchased my Blackberry Pearl from an on-line seller and it was suposed to be new. The problem comes when I try to set up my e-mail account....I go to my e-mail set-up option and the only one that it gives me is " I want to use a work e-mail account with a Blackberry Enterprise Server" . Obviously I do not want to do this but I have no other options. I can either hit close or next and next ask me for a password from my Enterprise Server administrator. I contacted Verizon and after much run around they finally told me that this phone was connected to another Blackberry account. I don't know if they really knew what they were talking about or if they just did not want to really help me because I did not upgrade my account and buy my phone from them.  It sounds to me like they are trying to say the phone is stolen since they are saying that it is connected with another Blackberry account but if that were the case then Verizon would no be able to activate the phone and I can get it activated and make and receive calls but I cannot get on the internet with it. What good is a smart phone if you can't do everything it is supposed to do?

    Hello,
    Actually, what they told you is accurate. BIS accounts are what enable additional services (including Personal email). BIS accounts are all managed by the carriers. One BB, as defined by it's unique PIN, can have only one BIS account on one carrier in the world. If a BIS account exists somewhere else for a specific BB, then a carrier cannot create another account for it. That is the way it works. One of the reasons is of course to prevent the use of stolen items. That's not the only reason, but it's all irrelevant...if a BIS account exists somewhere for that BB, VZW cannot create one for it.
    What you need to do is to contact the seller and hope they are reputable. They need to contact their carrier and have that BIS account shut down. Only then might VZW be able to create a BIS account for you.
    Good luck!

  • Still trying to get to the NetStream Object

    Hi, I am trying to get to the NetStream object so that I can listen to the NetStatusEvents. Unfortunately the code listed on:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/2725207
    no longer works. Is there another way? Thanks.

    It can be frustrating, especially when the workflow is so different from what we are used to with video. The idea behind the structure is to let OSMF manage the stream and expose needed events on the MediaPlayer. It definitely is a different way of doing things, but most events you need can be gotten from there.
    That being said, somethings require the NetStream object. You can extend the VideoElement, which is passed a NetLoader in its constructor. You can get the NetStream off the loader, though it is a good idea to check if it is there, since loader can be one of many classes that may not have the netStream property.:
    if( elementLoader.hasOwnProperty( 'netStream' ) )
      var netStream:NetStream = elementLoader[ 'netStream' ];
    Of course, if you're using a MediaFactory, you may need to customize it to use your custom VideoElement.
    Hope that helps.

  • Why cant I get on the internet with my 3gs?

    I was using a samsung focus windows 7 phone with my simcard then my friend upgraded to an iphone 4 and I got his old 3gs to get away from the horror that is the windows phone. Now I cant get on the internet with the phone unless im on wifi but I can still make phonecalls and text with the phone. Do I have to call apple to activate with my sim or something? I was under the impression it would just work?

    The lock icon is the screen rotation lock. It has nothing to do with this.
    Did you inform AT&T that you have upgraded to an iPhone? The data plan must be provisioned specifically for an iPhone in order to work correctly.
    If all you did was take your old sim and pop it in an iPhone, it's not going to work.
