USB Wireless for IMAC 500 g3 recommendations (10.2)

I've been reading the posts on this issue; I have a G3 Imac 500 running 10.2 (w/o airport card) and I have a Airport Express running my new Intel Imac. I want my g3 wireless aswell but don't want to much much $ into it. Airport cards are way to expensive and I don't want another big device next to my G3, therefore I want to get an USB device. People are saying they aren't working that well, but if someone could recommend on that would work with my set up that would be great. If the device is available at larger retailers, I could always return it.
Thanks

for get the USB go for an Either Net Brigde, Dlink make one that is cheap, however, programme the Dlink brige on the master account.
Hope this of help to you.
Hey live long and Prosper.

    Can i use a Usb wireless for my ibook?

    Hi, Kimberly. Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    If you mean a USB wireless dongle, the answer is yes (as long as it is Mac-compatible).

  • Searching for USB Wireless for OS 9/X

    Hello,
    I am in search of a wireless USB adapter which works for OS 9 and also OS X. Can someone provide me with the name of some vendors who still carry 802.11b usb adapters for Mac OS 9?
    Thanks.

    Bluetooth for Mac on an USB stick
    I used this for many years for connecting to my old desktop G4, and i guess i might have used it on OS 9.2.x too. Used it with my "fancy" *Nokia 6230i* with the impressive 2G network (ref- http://www.gsmarena.com/nokia_6230i-1087.php), mostly for photo transfers, but also with BluePhoneElite managing my SMS messages, backing them up to my Mac, the important ones. Worked like a dream, mostly.
    Just to day i removed it from my USB HUB to day, where it was still connected to an active up and going G4, where it worked well also in OS X up to OS 10.4.11 (haven't updated the G4 further, since it only is in use besides my new iMac.)
    Point is, this is a version 1 USB, but it also works with USB 2 devices, as is my experience with USB 1 and 2. I may run USB 1 on USB 2 devices, but only with the speed of the version standard.
    The USB Bluetooth stick i used is: D-Link Model No: DBT-120. It got the MacUser (magazine) awards of 2002. I did a search at search.yippy.com (D-Link DBT-120) and found it here http://www.dlink.com/products/?pid=34
    ...Since my early version it's updated to USB 2 standard, but it may well work still for older Macs running OS 9.x.
    Further search for buying some to day showed Amazon on the top of th pirice list, at $ 79.95!!!
    - On the D-Link homepage you also find links for reatilers, and then the prices varies from $23 to $ 40, shown in the javascript pop-up window for the retailers.

  • Gaming usb adapter for iMac?

    So finally my iMac 24" is coming tomorrow, and i also unearthed my old Nintendo 64.... I was wondering if there are any adapters out there where you can attach an RCA adapter from the N64 or xbox 360 to some device and plug it into the usb port. I know that there is one called GameBridge from Adaptec, but the discontinued those. Also I don't really want to pay $250 for that device from elgato where you can hook it up through that tv adapter. So anyone have any ideas? Thanks for the help!

    I really hope that someone will post who owns one of the products suggested. Are there any gaming systems that don't work with it? How is the quality of the tv reception in real world use? How about the software for recorded shows to the hard drive? Better with 20 in or 24 in iMac? I really want to get one for use with my iMac. I have an overwhelming and large 25 in. tube tv that is old and has horrible picture quality. I'm hoping that I can watch tv on my iMac and gain some space in my computer room.
    It would be great if this product performs as claimed and isn't just hype.

  • Best usb hub for iMac?

    Please can someone recommend a USB hub which works well with iMac's. Many thanks.

    Oh yes! If you need 4 ports now be sure that within the year you'll need 5 or 6. My wife laughed when I bought a 10 port hub two years ago. She's not laughing now.

  • Macbook Pro makes wireless for iMac G3 + wireless receiver

    First a situation sketch of my setup:
    My Macbook Pro is connected with an ethernet cable to the internet cable modem. The sharing settings is set to share the internet from the ethernet port over airport. The internet shared through Airport is spreading out IP addresses using the 10.0.1.2.
    The iMac has a wireless internet receiver (Belkin Wireless G Adapter, Serial: F5D7330) connected to it and working.
    Now I wanna know how I can set-up the iMac G3 (Tiger) to receive the signal from the Wireless adapter that it gets from the shared Airport internet signal. It seems that right now the signal is not ported to the iMac G3 as it should be. The Airport is not protected with any password or key, so the Wireless adapter can receive the signal without problem.
    The lights on the Wireless adapter are blinking, but the iMac G3 doesn't get any internet signal.
    What can be the problem here? I already tried accessing the web-based interface of the adapter, but I can't seem to access it through the iMac.

    Then I think the issue is with the Belkin F5D7330. It is a gaming adaptor. Connecting the Wireless G Gaming Adapter adds wireless capability to your Xbox�®, PlayStation�®, or GameCube™
    You need an airport card in the iMac. So again. Why don't you simplify your life and get a wireless router? Hardwire the iMac to the router and when you come over you use the wireless.

    Any recommendations for anti virus software for mavericks 10.9.3

    Any recommendations for anti virus software for mavericks 10.9.3
    Use what you already bought and paid for. OS X already includes everything it needs to protect itself from viruses and malware. Keep it that way with software updates from Apple.
    A much better question is "how should I protect my Mac":
    Never install any product that claims to "speed up", "clean up", "optimize", or "accelerate" your Mac. Without exception, they will do the opposite.
    Never install pirated or "cracked" software, software obtained from dubious websites, or other questionable sources. Illegally obtained software is almost certain to contain malware.
    Don’t supply your password in response to a popup window requesting it, unless you know what it is and the reason your credentials are required.
    Don’t open email attachments from email addresses that you do not recognize, or click links contained in an email:
    Most of these are scams that direct you to fraudulent sites that attempt to convince you to disclose personal information.
    Such "phishing" attempts are the 21st century equivalent of a social exploit that has existed since the dawn of civilization. Don’t fall for it.
    Apple will never ask you to reveal personal information in an email. If you receive an unexpected email from Apple saying your account will be closed unless you take immediate action, just ignore it. If your iTunes or App Store account becomes disabled for valid reasons, you will know when you try to buy something or log in to this support site, and are unable to.
    Don’t install browser extensions unless you understand their purpose. Go to the Safari menu > Preferences > Extensions. If you see any extensions that you do not recognize or understand, simply click the Uninstall button and they will be gone.
    Don’t install Java unless you are certain that you need it:
    Java, a non-Apple product, is a potential vector for malware. If you are required to use Java, be mindful of that possibility.
    Java can be disabled in System Preferences.
    Despite its name JavaScript is unrelated to Java. No malware can infect your Mac through JavaScript. It’s OK to leave it enabled.
    Block browser popups: Safari menu > Preferences > Security > and check "Block popup windows":
    Popup windows are useful and required for some websites, but popups have devolved to become a common means to deliver targeted advertising that you probably do not want.
    Popups themselves cannot infect your Mac, but many contain resource-hungry code that will slow down Internet browsing.
    If you ever see a popup indicating it detected registry errors, that your Mac is infected with some ick, or that you won some prize, it is 100% fraudulent. Ignore it.
    Ignore hyperventilating popular media outlets that thrive by promoting fear and discord with entertainment products arrogantly presented as "news". Learn what real threats actually exist and how to arm yourself against them:
    The most serious threat to your data security is phishing. To date, most of these attempts have been pathetic and are easily recognized, but that is likely to change in the future as criminals become more clever.
    OS X viruses do not exist, but intentionally malicious or poorly written code, created by either nefarious or inept individuals, is nothing new.
    Never install something without first knowing what it is, what it does, how it works, and how to get rid of it when you don’t want it any more.
    If you elect to use "anti-virus" software, familiarize yourself with its limitations and potential to cause adverse effects, and apply the principle immediately preceding this one.
    Most such utilities will only slow down and destabilize your Mac while they look for viruses that do not exist, conveying no benefit whatsoever - other than to make you "feel good" about security, when you should actually be exercising sound judgment, derived from accurate knowledge, based on verifiable facts.
    Do install updates from Apple as they become available. No one knows more about Macs and how to protect them than the company that builds them.
    Summary: Use common sense and caution when you use your Mac, just like you would in any social context. There is no product, utility, or magic talisman that can protect you from all the evils of mankind.

  • No Wireless for iMac 2009 27"

    Yesterday, about noon here (Spain) I noticed that I lost connection to my iMac, but blew it off as because I was playing on XBOX Live. But later, after I finish with XBOX Live I went to surf the net for a few minutes and saw that my internal AirPort is connected to my signal, but it wasn't picking up internet. I thought this was weird because I was just on XBOX, so I know the internet is working. I checked my iPhones wifi, and it still works great.
    So far I have reset my iMac and reset my modem/router, and neither helped. I connected my iMac to an ethernet, and here I am with it working fine.
    My AirPort's status is "AirPort has the self-assigned IP address 169.254.102.236 and will not be able to connect to the Internet."
    I really don't know what to do considering I bought the iMac in the states, then moved to Spain because of military obligations. I don't think there is an apple store within a few hundred miles of me, and I don't trust the computer stores around here.
    Any ideas on why this happened so randomly?
    Oh, and I am on an ADSL connection. (Basically a DSL)

    Hi, Jake. Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    It's possible that your AirPort card has fizzled out on you. AirPort card failure doesn't happen very often, but it happened to me once, and it was very frustrating.
    We diagnosed what was wrong with mine by my husband swapping his AirPort card with mine. Then my iBook would connect, but his wouldn't, so we knew it was the card.
    Will the iBook work on any wireless network? Do you have someone with whom you could swap cards to see if that's the problem?
    Possible sources for replacing the original AirPort card (links last checked 8/19/07):

    Have you tried using the other USB port? If neither port works, try plugging in a USB mouse to see if it works to confirm that your USB ports aren't damaged.
    Have you installed any new software? Maybe a Security Update or something similar? Sometimes that will break functionality of third-party drivers.
    You may need to go to the website of the manufacturer of the USB wireless device to see if an updated driver is available.

    I am not running Leopard... using 10.4 and I already own the product. It is suppose to work and there is no reason to purchase another unit. All I need to understand is how to make the IMac recognize the USB device or how to configure the unit. Others have stated in this and other forums that they have used this unit with success.
    Thanks for address this specific issue.

    I am using a laptop to connect to the internet not the machine that I am writing about. If I could do that I would not need any help. I will check out the other forum but this thread is on topic.
    Mac OS X (10.5.1)

    The information in your thread references an iBook quite a lot but the title of this post says iMac so I going to assume that you are trying to use this device with an iMac.
    It is also unclear what version of the Mac OS you are using.
    Let's start by stating the fact that these USB networking networking devices are not inherently supported by the Mac OS. Therefore they need drivers. These drivers are usually fragile and only work with a well defined version (or versions) of the Mac OS. Anytime that you make any upgrade to the Mac you are able to create an incompatibility with the driver and the device.
    The Belkin F5D9050 does have some Mac OS drivers available at this link.
    You should uninstall/remove the current driver for this device.
    Restart your iMac.
    Download and install the appropriate driver for the version of Mac OS on your iMac.
    Restart your iMac.
    If that doesn't work, either get the original AirPort card for the internal wireless slot in the iMac or get an Ethernet wireless adapter. An Ethernet wireless adapter requires no drivers and therefore will work with any Ethernet device.

    Pair a wireless KB with the laptop and all should be well when you attach the laptop to the iMac and invoke TDM. But as Denny mentions, it does seem like the waste of a good iMac to use it in just this configuration. Why is the laptop primary?

  • USB wireless Modems for MAC

    Hi Apple users,
    Could an one tell me which USB wireless internet Modems support MAC OS X leopard 10.5.6 macbooks? Could you also tell me which one is the best and efficient USB modem for the MAC books? You help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
    Regards,
    Naresh

    You'll need to clarify what you're looking for. Do you need an actual phone-line modem? There are boxes you can connect to wirelessly and then dial out, but they're not as popular as they used to be. Likewise, are you looking for a phone line modem for the MacBook? Apple has one they officially support -- I think it's actually made by US Robotics.
    What do you mean by "efficient"? Lowest power consumption? Best speed? Least heat?
    If you're looking for what the cable and DSL providers call a "modem", nobody can recommend one until they know what you plan to connect it to. Most of them are actually routers or bridges, and not real modems (modulator-demodulator).

  • USB Wireless Adaptor for eMac

    I still have to check them out but I do not believe the eMacs in question have a built in wireless option. I am told they are running OS 10.3 and I was looking for recommendations on adding wireless to about 10 eMacs for a teacher that wants them networked but the classroom does not have any available network ports to even plug in a network switch too. USB wireless adaptor would be good unless I have to use an internal Airport card or something I guess that is fine.

    Check out the eMac specifications, for example, here. Depending upon the model, you could install an AirPort or AirPort Extreme card. This is probably the easiest way. See also the KB articles HT1621 and HT3024.
    You could per se try USB wireless adapters, but only if appropriate Mac drivers are available (if at all, usually only for Mac OS X 10.3 or higher).
    Another solution could be wireless Ethernet bridge devices (also called gaming adapters). These units (such as Belkin F5D7330, D-Link DWL-G810, D-Link DWL-G820, Linksys WET54G, Linksys WGA600N and Netgear WGE111) do not require special drivers and can be used under almost any operating system. Not all models (or versions of a model) offer WPA security. You could connect a wireless Ethernet bridge directly to each computer (the Ethernet port). Alternatively, it ought to be possible to use wired Ethernet (via a switch) between the computers, and then one bridge device as a connection point to an existing wireless network.

  • What USB wireless adapters do you recommend

    Any. Recommendations on a USB wireless adapter to use in my G5 iMac? I have a FIOS 802.11n router and the airport card is not compatible with the n router. I thought if I used a USB n wireless adapter it might improve the speed. Any recommendations ?
