Using a Verizon pcmcia card with my iMac desktop

I purchased an iMac desktop computer last week.
Unfortunately, the only way to access the internet in the rural area where I live is via a Verizon wireless card.
Is there a way to use a pcmcia card with my iMac desktop? I know that there is a USB to pcmcia card adapter for PC's, but I have not seen one for the iMac.
Or can this card somehow be creatively hooked up to a wireless network device so I can use the built in airport device to connect to it?
Please help!!

Verizon has an adapter that will work - U720 I believe is the model. However, any similar adapter should work. Also, most cell phones can be used as modems with the proper cable. You can purchase cables for your cell phone model from your cell provider's local outlets.

    Unfortunately, this is a problem that is driven by the DRM Dictatorship.  Despite the proliferation of mobile devices and the fact that there are many of us who do a lot of international travel, content providers don't want you to have access to their products outside of your homeland.  The Balkanized mentality of the DRM Dictatorship is way out of touch with the modern world.
    At least Apple, to its credit, allows you to use your accounts outside of your homeland as long as you have the proper credentials for them.  Most other services use the more Draconian geolocation filtering which does require you to be physically present in your homeland.  For the most part, you are not allowed to leave home if you want access to your favorite entertainment!

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    You can use the keyboard you want with your iMac. However, note that some keys, as the Command key, aren't present in non-Apple keyboards. For example, in a non-Apple keyboard, you have to press the Windows key because that's the replacement of the Command key of an Apple keyboard

  • Use of US-prepaid card with german iTunes account

    I'm from Germany and vacationing in the US right now and I'm thinking about buying a pre-paid card for the iTunes Music store.
    I like the US-store much better (much bigger selection)and I was not able to set up a us account without a us credit card.
    Does anybody know if I will be able to use the us prepaid card with my german music store account.
    Thx for helping;o)

    Sorry, but no, you can't. A Prepaid card can only be used in the country of purchase. The record companies won't allow cross-border sales and so require Apple to have such restrictions.

  • HT4628 I can not use the internal wireless card with my Mac pro 2012, I don't know if it is broken

    I can not use the internal wireless card with my Mac pro 2012, I don't know if it is broken. The problem is happen recently, I have to use an independent wireless card now. Thanks!

    When you enable Internet Sharing in OS X, you are creating a separate sub-net.
    There is no option to allow this to be a simple pass-through from Ethernet to AirPort (or the other way).
    The problem is easily solved by getting an inexpensive wireless router. You can replace your current router OR disable the DHCP server on the wireless router and allow the wireless clients to get an IP address from the current router.

    Thanks.

    Hello, thank you for all these informations.
    Right now my graphic card current Bios Version is 80.04.00.2F (P2004.0010). Is it the good one ?
    I've found out yesterday evening about the GPT Drive, when I saw it on my laptop which works fine with UEFI fastboot mode.
    For the moment the main drive on my desktop is MBR formated SSD.
    Is it safe to clone the MBR SSD Drive to another GPT formated SSD Drive ?
    In my Partition soft I saw that it can convert MBR Drives to GPT without data loss. Could this work ?
    Thanks for reading me.

  • Can i buy developer id using my wife credit card with her permission

    can i buy developer id using my wife credit card with her permission?

    When you enter the Developer program, you have to leave the internet in a sense. You are entering a business relationship with Apple. That is why developers have to submit personal information and cannot act anonymously unless they have a legal right to do so (via a corporation). You wouldn't want to put a successful app at risk by violating the Apple Developer terms of use which clearly state, "The Apple ID and password you use to login as a Registered Apple Developer cannot be shared in any way or with any one."
    Furthermore, choosing to develops apps under a female name is, unfortunately, going to attract attention to begin with. It shouldn't matter, but it does.

  • HT4528 Can I use a micro SD card with my iPhone?

    Am I able to use a micro sd card with my iPhone?  I have a 16GB sd card that I would like to use if possible.
    Thanks

    What good is posting in an 8 month old thread?
    In any case:
    There is the Camera Connection Kit which can plug into the iPhone, and has a slot for SD cards specifically.
    Of course the Reader will only work for Photos, and Videos in a very specific format.
    There are of course other alternatives as already mentioned, suich as Wifi enabled drives, and even wifi enabled SD cards that work with a companion App.

  • How do I use a Verizon PC Wireless card with my iMAC Intel Core desktop?

    Help! Bought a Kyocera KPC650 Wireless PC Card for Verizon wireless internet. Works fine w/ laptop because it has a slot. How do I configure my iMAC desktop to accept this card? Is there an external USB adapter? Or do I have to get one installed internally? Which adapter works with OX 10.4?
    I've seen the Quatech U132 online. Will that work? Its $192!! As is the Sewell adapter too. ($209)
    Any ideas? I want to get off SBCYahoo DSL and their router because our DSL line is damaged in our complex and no one is fixing it!
    Thanks in advance.

    What protocol is Verizon using that is not compatible with the Airport Extreme built into your iMac? I have used Apple's Airport Extreme with a lot of different wireless routers with zero problems as all conform to either 802.11b or 802.11g standard both of which are supported by the built in Airport Extreme.
