What's your Airport Card Country code?

I live in Brazil, and bought my 17" MBP from Canada in June, and my airport Country Code right now is ZW (Zimbabwe). When i'm at college, it jumps to US. And at home, it changes to ZW. This is a problem as in some countries some frequencies are now allowed. I have the 10.6.1 SL.
It's seems that either I have a faulty Airport Card, or Snow Leopard changes the card locale depending which routers are available for connection.
So, I wanted to know if anyone is seeing somethig weird as I am in the Airport Country Code.
Here's what I see in my info. The problem is that I can't use Wireless N in this country code.

Hey there. Definitely something up with Snow Leopard, country codes and airport wireless N 5GHz. I have 3 macs and 3 airport routers across the house, which have been working for years without issue wirelessly. Since the upgrade to Snow Leopard, my Macbook, and only my Macbook started not being able to connect or see the 5GHz network. My Macbook Pro and Mac Pro have no issues connecting or seeing the 5GHz network. It's not related to weak signal as I've tested the Macbook sitting next to the Airport Extreme. Interestingly there was no problem with 2.4GHz.
So I thought it might have been a coincidental breakdown of the 5GHz N antenna on the airport card in the Macbook post Snow Leopard upgrade.
Then I noticed a few posts on the net about Country Codes, Airport and Snow Leopard. This has never been an issue for me before. The Country Code is set at FR on my Macbook which is incorrect. Apparently this is set by Snow Leopard in response to routers available.
As you are aware some channels are not usable in some countries.
So I changed my Airport Extreme channel from Automatic to a fixed channel (36), and instantly the problem has been solved.
So something has changed with Snow Leopard, Country Codes and Airport, which only affects some Macs. Ugh
At least my problem was solved, hope this helps

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.

Where (and what) to get airport card for PM 1.0 GHz FW800?

I dont know if I should be getting the airport card or the airport extreme, and even if I knew, I have no idea where is reliable. I've seen it on amazon.com for $42 new w/o box, and one unopened for $60 on craigslist(there are pictures, Im pretty sure its legit). Does anyone know where is reliable(and preferably cheap)?
Thanks!

Hi! It's not an option your machine will only be able to use an airport extreme card. A regular one won't work. As for the site I've never bought anything from them and as with most internet sites it's a gamble. If you are worried then buying one purported to be as "new" on eBay with a seller with 99-100% ratings is probably a safe bet. Tom

What's with the automatic country codes?

Upgraded and have had the unwanted facebook contact list added automatically.
On top of this, all contacts' phone numbers have been automatically assigned a country code, which is not applicable.
How does one get rid of all this unwanted stuff. I was happy before, with my dedicated skype list.

I'm interested in this too, kongakut2012. I can't see an envelope either. I discovered that the number probably meant that I had a missed call, but when I cleared all recent calls (including the missed one) the number didn't go away. So -- where's the envelope, please???

How do I know what kind of Airport card I need for my computer?

I have a Mac Pro 2.66ghz I purchased new in 4/07 that is operating with Tiger 10.4. I want it to be able to communicate wirelessly from my router. Is all I need an Airport card? If so, which one am I supposed to get?
Thanks in advance!

What is your Java Card?

Hi all,
I just wanted to get a feel of what you folks are using as part of your JC development and deployment.
I am particularly interested in what java card/smart card product you are using.
Please response. Thanks. -KL

What is your trophy card(s)?

I think it's safe to say that we've all coveted one or two cards for some time. Some of us have applied and have been denied. So when we are finally approved there's a sense of having achieved some sort of "trophy." I thought it would be fun to share with our fellow myfico members which of our cards we consider our "trophy cards." Mine are Chase Marriott and Barclays Ring. Which are yours?

HT4628 what does no airport card installed mean?

I need help, my MBP wont show airport, it says no airport installed. What should i do to sort it out. I reinstalled the mac windows but still the problem persist.
I need help......

Does not necessarily mean there is no sim card, just that the iPhone is not seeing it. Could be its dirty, mislodged or the contacts are dirty or fault.
Take the sim card out (paperclip in small hole on the side) and rub down the contacts with a soft clean cloth, re-insert and see if the message goes away.
Good luck.

What's your primary card?

The one you use the most...

Whichever one has a signup bonus I haven't met yet. Really though, I think the Amex TrueEarnings is the best card in my portfolio. 2% on dining (same as CSP), 2% on travel (same as CSP), and 3% on gas (including Costco). Plus, no annual fee with a Costco membership, and even if you don't use the Costco membership, it's only $55, way less than most annual fees. If I could only carry one card, it would probably be this one. But I'm not desparaging the CSP...I do like that it's metal.

My sister's macbook cant connect to wifi. It said that "no airport card installed". What should we do?

Help us to solve this problem.

Depends on whether or not the machine is under warranty or not. If it is, just take it to an applestore and let them worry about it. If not, your airport card may have failed and may need to be replaced. It could also be that the card needs to be reseated, which is what I would check first. Look for a guide at ifixit.com.

What is needed to network 2 computers using Airport card

I know I need an airport card in my eMac, but is there any other cards that have to be in the computer? I want to network my eMac with an iMac using a DSL line. The eMac will be downstairs and the iMac will be upstairs. I'm waiting for delivery from Apple of the iMac. It has everything built in that is needed to network but my eMac doesn't. To make my eMac wireless is all I have to buy is an Airport Card and a Wireless Gateway for the iMac which is the computer connected to the DSL modem and Wireless USB adapter with connects to the eMac? What type of Airport Card do I need to buy for my eMac (model #'s etc.) It is the card that inserts above the super drive in the front of the computer. Is there any software that is needed to install Airport?

I am also doing some configuration changes (we have one Imac and two eMac's)
but one eMac does not have a airport card and is hardwired (ethernet) to the high speed cable modem then a apple airport. One Imac and the Emac with a airport card work fine, it is a bit tricky finding the correct airport card (or airport extreme card if you have a ATI graphics card (use about the mac/system profiler then click on more to see if you have a graphics card (which affects which airport card you need, there are alot of resellers on the net so you should find what you want.
If in doubt there is a free program mactracker which provides data on every mac made (available off off versiontracker.com (free site just register) it will guide
you on the type of card needed. I was quite amazed at the amount of different spec eMac's made in their relativealy short history.
Macwireless.com does sell eMac cards (for two models) but also antenna type
or flash drive appearing USB based wireless connectors that may help.
I found the mactracker program helpful (alot) as alot of web sites provide some vague info and I would hate to se you get stuck with a non returnable card.
The actual card install does not look hard (its done through the cd rom drive door.
I am not sure why we did not get a airport card for ours when we bought it.
Wish I did as it would have saved some $ (maybe) and surf time making sure I find the right one.
We did have a antenna wireless antenna for a "green" Imac (long gone) and it ran on OS9 but it was finicky when we had the airport base station upstairs
and the Imac and antenna in the basement (about 50-75 feet)
Best of luck
Hope this helps, I am not a expert, the serial number on the cd drawer will
nail down the model you have and what you need.
We have been working adding a laser printer and airport express and the two macs with cards work fine but the Emac with no card can not be set up yet. The laser printer will sure save on ink!

Airport card and memory

hi im looking into puttin an airport card in to my mac g4 the lamp desktop and was wondering if i need extra memory and what osx it would run on
hope someone ca

Hello Aldric, welcome to discussions.
It's quite suspicious that your Airport card and one of your memory modules have suddenly "disappeared" at the same time.
This could certainly indicate a hardware issue, but I won't speculate as to what caused it. Sure, a power surge could do this... have you had one recently?
I would try taking the memory module, and the airport card out of your system, and then re-install them.
If your situation does not improve, then you should probably take your machine to an authorized Apple service center.

Airport card for my g4 adp tower... I can't get it to work.

I'm not very good with computers (when it comes to technical support). And I recently purchased an original airport card for my computer. I also burned the downloads onto a disc so that I would have the software. My computer has an operating system of 10.3.5. I downloaded the driver, turned off my computer, insterted the card and it pops up with an error that says it can't find the airport base station. What is this and do I need to buy something else for my computer? My internet connection is Comcast wireless. Any suggestions, thoughts or opinions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for taking the time to read through a computer illiterates post...

It sounds like you are trying to run either the Airport Setup Assistant or the Airport Admin Utility - and since this software is only of use to Airport Base Station owners (which you are not) this software is of no use to you.
If your Airport card has been properly installed, you will see a fan-shaped icon near the right side of the MacOS menu bar - that is the Airport menu. Click on it, and a list of all in-range wireless networks will appear. The name of the wireless router supplied by Comcast should appear there - click on that name to connect to it. With some luck you will now get an internet connection.
If there are no wireless networks displayed when you click on the Airport menu, recheck the installation of your Airport card - you probably forgot to attach the internal Airport antenna cable to its connector on the Airport card.

AirPort Setup Assistant says my Airport Card is "not configured"

I'm trying to install an AirPort Express Base Station that I got for xmas.
I'm using a MacBook Pro 17" with OS X 10.5.1, and my goal with the AirPort Express is to plug it into a stereo to play iTunes wirelessly.
By the way I use AirPort on my MacBook every day, all the time, for internet access through another base station which is plugged into the internet.
Okay, so when I launch the AirPort Setup Assistant and hit the continue button it immediately tells me "AirPort card not configured. In order to use the AirPort Setup Assitant your AirPort card must be enabled and AirPort needs to be turned on and set to use DHCP. Click OK if you would like to change these settings, or Skip if you would like to configure AirPort Base Stations using ethernet."
After I click OK it tells me:
"AirPort card error. There was an error communicating with your AirPort card. Please make sure it is installed properly and try the AirPort Setup Assistant again."
Obviously my AirPort card is working fine, or I wouldn't be able to post on this forum!
When I open Network Preferences I see AirPort is connected to my home network. In the Advanced Settings, on the TCP/IP tab I see that "Configure IPv4" is set to "Using DHCP". And "Configure IPv6" is set to "Automatically" (Not that I have any idea what these two things mean!)
Maybe someone on this forum is much smarter than me with this stuff? Ack!

That solved it! Thank you very much.
Apple, if you're listening, it would be nice if something in the install flow had checked with my OS or something to see if I still needed to install what was on the CD. All I did was open the package (which was purchased in December) and follow directions, and wound up with a problem not covered in the documentation.
Thanks to Tesserax I'm still a happy customer.

Do I need an Airport card, too?

I have a flat panel iMac without an airport card connected to the internet via Ethernet with a 2Wire router. I have an iBook with an airport card.
So .... my iBook connects to my 2Wire network via airport, but I can't get on the Internet and even though file sharing is on on my iMac, I can't seem to access my iMac files.
Is this because I don't have an airport card in my iMac? I thought the wireless router would act as an airport card, but maybe I was wrong! If I do need an airport card for my iMac, where would I find one besides eBay?

Hi,
More things to help anybody else--what OS-X are you using, what version Flat Panel iMac, PPC or Intel, same with your iBook, my wife has a 2001 and they made them up untill recently.
You were right the first time, you won't see Airport because you don't have a card plugged in, the router is now your "Airport" card via ethernet. The computer doesn't see it so it won't bring it up. The same thing happened with my Blue Tooth. One less button to confuse me with i say.
Try looking at your TCP/IP settings on your iMac and see if their the same as your iBook. They should be identical except for the last 2 or 3 numbers at the end of the "IP Address:". Those are assigned by the router to each different computer. So depending on the router both computers should only be 1 or 2 of from each other.
You might try just making another Location and starting over and see what happens. Or if you have another Account boot into it and see if you are having the same problem.
At the very least Boot into your Startup Disk in "OS-10.xx whatever" and repair Permissions. You should boot into it before and after you update anyway.
One other thing, does your computer automatically log in or do you have to type in the passwords and network name because you might be logged into you neighbors network instead. I can go to a wireless motel or truck stop or rest area and there might be a half dozen networks showing and i can connect to half of them (no password needed) but i can't get on the internet.(password needed). Just a thought.
This is a very long shot but what the hey,
I've heard the last few updates in 10.4.x and 10.5.x have been giving every one fits so just for the heck of it, if your not using it as Admin, take a look in your "Accounts" under "Preferences" and click on" Parental Controls" and see if it defauted back. It's a shot in the dark but i've heard of odder things happening.
Good luck
