USB network stick in iMac g4?

Can I use my Belkin High-speed Mode Wireless G USB Network Adapter in my iMac g4? And how do I configure it?

The adaptor MUST have Mac drivers to work at all. If they are not on the CD that came with the adaptor, you'll have to look at the Belkin web site. If they canot furnish drivers, you'll have to look for an adaptor with better Mac support.
The early G4 iMacs had USB 1.1 ports that cannot support the faster wireless speeds like "g." Later iMsc G4s have the faster USB 2.0 ports and will work much better with a USB wireless adaptor.

    You need to turn on Printer Sharing on both the PC and OS X. I can't help you on Vista but in OS X it's System Preferences - Sharing - check the Printer Sharing box.

  • I have an iMac G4 and need to connect it to the internet. Do I need to buy an airport card or can I just use a normal USB wifi stick?

    I have an iMac G4 and need to connect it to the internet. Do I need to buy an airport card or can I just use a normal USB wifi stick?

    Will this need to be a special mac compatible one or will they all be fine?
    You need to see "works on Mac" on the box. All such deveices require a driver. The adaptor would work in many cases except for the lack of Mac drivers. Some companies have the proper Mac drivers on their web sites, some shuffle you off to suspect third-party sites, and some have no Mac drivers at all. If you want to buy one adaptor, not have to return it or send hours searcing the web for a driver that works, look at this one:

    It is best for iMacs with USB 2.0 ports. If you have only USB 1.1 ports, you can save money with this one:

  • When i download my pictures to a usb memory stick in jpeg format other computers cannot open them can someone help me to sort this please thanks from a new iMac user

    when i download my pictures (in jpeg format) to a usb memory stick they cannot be opened on another computer ie not a mac, do i need to convert the file so that other computers can read it thanks Sam

    Sam,
    Format your stick with MS-DOS (FAT32) format. I use camera CF cards as memory stick and a good practice is to regularly format them: it deals with defragmentation effectively.
    JPG is a standard, regardless of which application writes it and is readable by all applications supporting JPG.
    Make sure you properly eject your usb stick when you take the it out of the usb port: it makes sure the OS closes all open files.

  • USB os x lion boot stick and imac os x lion periodic upgraded

    When apple upgrades lion, is it necessary to upgrade purchased USB boot stick? Can you upgrade boot stick?

    no the boot stick would not be upgraded if you already own one, you upgrade the version of Lion by running "software update" when a new version is released.

  • HT5639 Can I use usb internet sticks and/ or printers which don't speak apple with boot camp and win 7/ 8?

    Hello all,
    As a reference point for my technological skills, I work in international development and in timber framed building construction and repair. Beyond Ford full- size pick-ups pre 1993, I mostly employ 19th century systems.
    This MacBook Pro is marvelous, but won't read or accept some older printers and usb internet sticks. There is also a problem with windows 8 on many of these international and older/ cheaper US devices. Will a MacBook Pro be able to communicate with them in windows 7 running on Boot Camp, or on any of the other Windows on Mac platforms? Does one work better with old stuff than another? Are any of them simpler/ more intuitive to use than others?  Any informtion or suggestions, no matter how basic would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Rob

    I have tried it with all 3 options. I tried the first two options with the printer plugged into port 1 on the adapter and the third option with the printer plugged into port 2. This means that I may have effectively installed all 3 options/scripts. Do I need to throw them away and start again?
    Running the Choose Serial Port script writes a file that is used in processing print jobs. If you run the script a second time, it will replace the existing file with a new file.
    Do I also need to configure these ports in the network settings under System Preferences?
    No.
    I notice too that no 'location' is given for the Stylewriter II, whereas a location is given for my other (Lexmark) printer, which is connected to the G5 iMac directly via a USB cable.
    That is of no consequence. Use of the Location field is optional.
    I would suggest you proceed as follows:
    1. Go to the /Library/Receipts folder at the root of your hard drive. Delete the item Foomatic for StyleWriter.pkg.
    2. Start the installation over from the beginning. Install the Foomatic for StyleWriter software.
    3. Run the Choose Serial Port for StyleWriter script. Upon further reflection of your possible use of two Keyspan adapters, I would suggest you choose the serial port with the format USA28X...P1.1 rather than KeySerial1.
    4. Run the Add StyleWriter to Printer List.
    Try printing a document. If it still does not work, download a troubleshooting script from my website http://webpages.charter.net/mbroughtn/downloads/Test7Stylewriter.command.zip Run the script. Copy and paste the contents of the Terminal window in a reply. That should point to what is going wrong.

  • OS X Snow Leopard install from (non-boot) USB memory stick

    oi~
    just bought this second hand and after i finally got into it (the seller forgot name/password) it turns out the DVD drive is malfunctioning, i was able to watch part of a movie but it will not boot from it nor let me install from DVD. (seller is not calling me back or responding to anything i sent) bottom-line for now i can live without the DVD drive but i would like to install OS X Snow Leopard.. can i copy the DVD contents onto a 8 GB USB memory stick (using a Vista pc) and install from the USB stick ? it does not have to be bootable as i realize to do that you must use the Mac.
    i also have a old(er) iMac, maybe i can use that copy copy contents (if it even reads DVD's)
    any help appreciated.. thanks.

    thanks..
    i thought i put my model # in my info, it's a MB061LL/B (Apple MacBook "Core 2 Duo" 2.0 13") darn... i keep getting stuck when i think i have a solution. so copying the contents of the disc to a network pc will not work either. or, could i make the
    USB stick bootable and copy contents using a old iMac ?
    added: i might be able to borrow a MacBook w/ a working DVD player.. is it a fairly quick and painless process to create a bootable USB stick + put OS X Snow Leopard on it ? (i'm rusty when it comes to Mac..)

  • USB network dongle for wireless networking

    Hi all
    Just a quickie, I've just bought a mini, not wireless, thought I'd put an extreme card in it, but it's not to be, the wireless option is a rip off in the UK as a retrofit.
    Has anyone managed to use a USB network wireless dongle?
    I have seen a couple for sale on ebay, but I'm not sure about drivers etc?
    tia
    wilse

    Hi wilse,
    Few things that you might like to consider from my personal experience;
    First, I guess, is if you can afford an airport card then its definately the best option without any shadow of a doubt (even if you fit it yourself - The Airport i user installable on virtually everything else and is very straight forward), I have a 12in iBook G4 (800) which i got Airport extreme for and it's constantly reliable and always fast.
    Second, if you plump for the USB option I run a D-link Dwl-122 wireless adapter sticking out of my Powermac G4 450x2 which has been notorious for its poor driver support in the past but with the latest driver (From MacUpdate: http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/15997) I have no problems running it through the front pannel USB2 slots from a PCI card (i only say this as these are also notoriously difficult in old G4s but they're now happy together). I get a good reception on this card from 3 storeys away in a very high ceilinged Georgian house.
    Thirdly, my mum also runs one the same USB wireless adapters on an iMac (flat panel USB1.1 from sometime in 2003) with the no problems with the driver above. The Dwl-122 is only wireless .b though so can only get connected at up to 11mps.
    Fourthly (?), if i could put Airport Extreme cards in both of those Macs i would at whatever cost because its still annoying having bits stinking out in my opinion even if you are lucky enough to get a USB adapter with no conflics with your system setup (unfortunately nether are compatable with the AEX and Airport cards now go for upwards of £70 on ebay!!)
    I hope all that helped somehow, as you can probably see i've spent many an hour battling with third party drivers for external devices, well done for having the foresight to ask first!!! I wish i had!
    Anyway good luck with your decision and i hope you get a few more posts here before you make up your mind...

  • I'm new to apple after years of MS OS! How do I transfer files from my USB memory stick to another USB memory stick? cheers

    hi all, i've just switched to apple after many years using MS OS!  I'm now using iMac desktop 21.5" with 2.9GHz processor and latest Yosemite software.
    How do I transfer files from one USB memory stick to another USB memory stick on the iMac?  cheers, linley94

    Plug in the memory stick and it should open then create a New Folder and drag and drop the contents from the memory stick to the new folder you created. Remove the original memory stick all the information should be in the new folder you created. Now plug in the new memory stick with nothing on it when it opens drag the folder with the contents from the original memory stick folder and all into the new memory stick that opened and there you have it.

  • Usb memory sticks

    Hi I have several 2 GB usb memory sticks. I use them to carry Keynote/Powerpoint presentations to different venues as backup. Recently I have noticed when transferring files from my new iMac that I keep getting the message that the memory is full on the memory stick despite moving lots of old presentations to trash. I don't understand this as it works with my iBook and my work windows laptop. It's a mystery. Can anybody shed any light on this?
    Thanks Tim

    Hi there
    I am having problems with my memory stick and my SD cards out of my camera! I have an IMAC leopard and i have done what you and susan above has recommended i have deleted out of trash when device is in but it looks as if its working and then i go to put pictures back on the SD card for my digital frame and it says theres not enough room when there is sufficient room. Its also not burning discs that must be part of the problem as well.
    Can you help???

  • HP530 not hibernating when USB WLAN stick plugged in, works unplugged.

    This problem came up when the laptop's builtin wlan card didn't connect to our wlan because of the 13 byte key (5 byte key worked fine but my dad wants to use the 13 byte key). I tried using an external USB wlan stick which connected fine to our network. However hibernating doesn't work when the stick is plugged in. I have tried s2disk and pm-hibernate, both fail. I have also tried two different wlan sticks, hibernation fails with both.
    Buffalo Airstation Wireless-G:
    Bus 001 Device 005: ID 0411:00da MelCo., Inc. WLI-U2-KG54L
    A-Link WL64USB:
    Bus 001 Device 006: ID 0ace:1215 ZyDAS WLA-54L WiFi
    Here is how the hibernation fails. Screen goes black except a white cursor blinking in the corner. The login prompts in consoles remain active and I can change consoles with CTRL-ALT-F1 etc. Login prompts don't take keystrokes though.
    However, hibernation does work when the sticks are not connected.
    This isn't a really big problem but trying to remember plugging/unplugging the stick is quite annoying.
    Is there any way to fix this?
    P.S. I will post more after I get the logs and some other info.

  • Could you please help me connect my Telstra usb internet stick to my new Macbook Air? This is my first Mac and I am really struggling!

    Hi,
    I just brought my first Mac at Christmas and I am trying to connect my Telstra usb internet stick to it.
    The Mac recognises the internet stick and the widget pops up for the stcik but then asks me to register the internet stick with this computer. I am provided with a a description on how to do this (go to Open Network Preferences > a new pop up will say New System/internet found etc), but the "new system/internet pop up never appears, so I can click on the "directIP" showing on the left hand sinde of the Open Network Preferences windon, but then I dont know where to go from there.
    Could anyone help me with a step by step (aka lamens description) of how to fix this?
    Thank you very much!

    Hey there, my experience with the Telstra USB internet dongles is a little different, don't think you need to fuss with settings and all that, it's basically designed to plug and play almost.
    When you plug it in, it should prompt you to install the Telstra utility. Have you done this? You will know because in your 'Applications' you will see a Telstra icon. You need to use this utility to connecto the internet.
    So, if you have this, simply double click it and when the utility opens, click 'Connect' and as long as the dongle can detect the network it will connect. There should not be any other configuration required.
    If that utility is not there, then install it. When you plug in the dongle, you will see it appear as a drive, should be able to just double click it and then go through the installation process.
    Failing all that, head into a telstra store and the guys there will sort it out for you quite quickly.

  • Belkin USB wifi stick F5D7050 & OSx 10.4.11 "Tiger"

    I figured I would post this here since I only found un-answered questions here in the support community.
    I have an old iMac running Tiger. I have an old Belkin USB wifi stick F5D7050. I found a driver that works.
    I found the driver (RalinkUSBDrv1.0.5.0) here: Belkin USB wifi stick F5D7050 & OSx 10.4.11 "Tiger" on treiberupdate.de

    Great info, thanks!

  • I can't access my USB network drive connected to my router.

    I have a G5 that I was running Tiger, and could easily access a usb network drive connected to my router. As soon as I upgraded to Leopard, I sporadically get access, but usually not.
    I just purchased an iMac with Snow Leopard and then upgraded to Lion, but I have never had access to this drive.
    I can't get access with either Mac now, but I have no problem accessing the drive from a PC on the same home network, so I know the drive is connected properly, and is working properly.
    Any thoughts how to access this drive from my Macs?

    Let's say that the name of your drive is Hard Drive
    Check using AirPort Utility to get the IP address of your AirPort Extreme, for example you see that it is 10.0.1.1
    You'll need to know the device name for the AirPort Extreme. This is not the wireless password, it's the device password.
    On the PC, open My Computer
    Click on Tools and select Map Network Drive.
    Select the drive you want, "Z" for example
    On the next line for Folder, type in
    \\10.0.1.1\Hard Drive
    Click Finish
    Type in your user name
    Type in the device password for the AirPort Extreme

  • Lenovo 3000 n200 problem with usb tv-stick

    hi guys,
    i have a problem with my lenovo 3000 and the hvr-900 usb tv-stick from hauppauge. driver installation and software installation from wintv is no problem. finding the channels ist also no problem. sound is good but i have no pictures... the display ist black.
    my grafik chip is the intel GMA X3100 onboard. i thought it was a problem with the overlay function. the wintv software shows me "surface vmr" on my old desktop with the old wintv pci card it shows me "surface overlay".
    internet tv (tvu, tv ants...) works without any difficulties. but i can`t find a function to activate "overlay".
    has anyone an idea? thanks for helping.

    i try an older usb machine from hauppauge which supports analog only (the new stick supports analog/digital) and... it works... the wintv software shows me "surface overlay"... crazy...
    now i use this until i find a solution for the stick ;-)
    thanks for helping
