What do I need to get on the Internet wirelessly on imac g4

Airport card
Or
USB wireless thing
If so what type?

Do you really have?
iMac, Mac OS X (10.0.x)
Here is how to find out what version of Mac OS you are running:
Click on the blue apple in the upper left hand of the screen.
click on this icon
Click on the first line, "About This Mac"
Most of these are numbers & that's what we want.
What version & Processor do you have?
If you have 10.0, the only thing that will work are the ethernet bridges. Examples.
Ethernet Bridge
Please note this requires mac os x 10.5 or greater to configure or windows xp to configure.
Ethernet Bridge  "The versatile Wireless-G Ethernet Bridge can make any wired Ethernet-equipped device a part of your wireless network."  from linksys example: http://www.amazon.com/Linksys-RE1000-Wireless-N-Range-Extender/dp/B005FDXMJS/ref =sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1314563758&sr=8-1
Once configured, you can use it on any ethernet port.
Airport ExpressAirport Express is an external unit and you can configure it as a bridge.  802.11n ( I believe you will need a more modern version of Mac OS X to configure.  Sadly, Apple uses a configuration program to configure, not a web browser. )

  • What do I need to connect to the internet

    I have a mac book OSX 105.3 Leopard, which i purchased in the USA. Since arrivng in the Uk I have been ubable to connect to the internet. I was under the impression that once connected to a modem I would have the interenet. I tried connecting it to the cable modem in the place where I'm staying and nothing happens. It seems that nobody here has a mac, and there is no Apple store for me to go to ( Liverpool). I found one store that sells aplle products and they told me it need to be reconfigured???? The apple phone support are telling me it's the modem. I was going to get airport, but apple says that won't help. I've never had problems with any of my macs in the US, but here I feel stranded. Do I need to replace the cable modem with a wireless modem? Will this work as they are expensive and non refundable. Help!

    Welcome to the Apple boards:
    It could be an old modem that is not Leopard compatible.
    You may need to borrow a PC in order to check and/or download the latest modem firmware.
    Also temporarily turn off your firewall.
    Do you have the instruction book for the modem?
    If the modem is a NAT type (most are) the you should be able to access it directly by entering its IP address. Here in the US, it's usually 192.168.1.1 or .251. Apple uses the 10.x.x.x scheme and there is another one.
    If you manage to access the modem this way, you might need a password. The cable company or the manual should have the defalt userid and password.
    If you manage to get "inside" the modem, then you know that the problem is partially solved.
    You might also use the Mac Network Utility.app to debug your system.
    I don't think it is a compatibility issue, per se, but simply some settings that have to be changed.
    There are many Leopard users in England and perhaps someone there can chime in and be of further assistance.

  • My computer crashed and I have to get my data from my old drive to another computer, to ensure I get all my data what do I need to get.  I have and ipad and an iphone.  I need to get apps, contacts, pictures, etc.  Is there a way to do this?

    My computer crashed and I have to get my data from my old drive to another computer, to ensure I get all my data what do I need to get.  I have and ipad and an iphone.  I need to get apps, contacts, pictures, etc.  Is there a way to do this? It was a vista pc and the new is win 7. I can grab the backup files, and music, but what about my apps? I do not want to sync on the new pc since the apps aren't there.  Were are the app files located in itunes? Can I just copy them to the new computer?

    You can transfer itunes purchases:  File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
    The iphone is not a storage/backup device.  The sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The exception is itunes purchases.
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.  Use your backup copy to put everything back.

  • I moved from the UK to the US with my iMac. What do I need to buy for the UK iMac to work in the US? A power convertor? A plug convertor? or Both?

    I moved from the UK to the US with my iMac. What do I need to buy for the UK iMac to work in the US? A power convertor? A plug convertor? or Both?  I had previously read that you only need a plug convertor (three prong to two prong).  But I'm terrified that my iMac will blow up if I only use a plug convertor and not some sort of voltage convertor (Transformer).

    I'm not really hardware tech savy - is it easy to pop out the UK power cable and plug in the US power cable? Or do I need to get someone like an iMac support guy to do this? And because of the voltage difference, is there something built into the iMac that takes care of the voltage difference for me?  Thanks!!

  • I have a Mac Pro 4,1 quad core intel Xeon running mac OSX 10.6.8 and I have just moved studios and now need to use the Internet wirelessly but there's no airport facilities on this model can anyone tell me what model of airport card I would need for this

    Instead of getting a wireless card for the Mac Pro, you might want to consider getting an 802.11ac wireless bridge device that would enable you to connect more than one device to it by Ethernet cable and to eventually take advantage of the faster 802.11ac wireless standard.

  • Hi there, I'm thinking of buying both a new MacBook Pro and a small 22 inch LED tv for my kitchen... what would I need to be able to use (wireless of course) the tv as a monitor for the new computer? Apple tv? Airport Express? something else? Thanks.

    Hi a,
    http://www.mctiviausa.com/
    There has been "talk" on and off of Apple TV doing it (and people have done it with a hack), but I haven't really followed it.
    It would be a whole lot cheaper getting an adapter (as needed) and cable and simply pluggin it in when you're in the kitchen.

  • I need to edit sections of several songs into a single track on a CD for a dressage test. Any ideas what software I need to get to achieve this?

    I need to edit sections of several songs into a single track on a CD for a dressage test. Any ideas what software I need to get to achieve this?

    Audacity 1.2.5 is an audio editor in which you can assemble and edit your recordings: it's free. I don't think it would burn CDs - you would have to reimport the finished recording into iTunes and burn from there.
    Amadeus Lite is $24.99 in the Mac App Store and is in my opinion a better product: it can burn your audio CD directly.
    If this is a one-off job you might as well use Audacity: if you are planning on doing this sort of thing at all often you would probably be better off either with Amadeus Lite or Amadeus Pro ($59.99) though this latter may well be over-specified for you as it includes multi-track editing.

    What iOS device do you have? You need one capable of running iOS5 plus the latest version of iTunes.
    If you want iCloud you'll need Mac OS X 10.7.2 Lion plus a Mac capable of running that.

    I would think Airport Express would do the job (this is UK store site but it should be available wherever you are):
    http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC414B/A/airport-express
    It has an audio output socket and air play will stream music from your mac to the device wirelessly.  If you want to listen to the radio will need to do so via iTunes or use a program such as Airfoil (free):
