Which airport cards work in Europe?

Does anyone know of which 802.11b original Airport Card works in Europe and which don't? I heard from a friend that there are some airport cards that do not work oversees. How can I identity the regional propensities of the card?
Any help would be appreciated!
Powerbook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

The original AirPort cards, for the North American market, support only radio channels 1 - 11, and NOT the European channels 12 & 13. You could still connect to any European Wi-Fis that operate within the 1 - 11 channels, but not "see" those operating above that. If you need to connect to those additional channels, you would need to acquire a European version, if still available, from the third-party vendor.

  • Which Airport card do I need for an iMac G4 Flat Screen 15"?

    Hi, I have an iMac G4 (flat screen, with silver arm and round base), 15".
    I'd be extremely grateful if someone could let me know which Airport card I need for this Mac and also whether or not I also require an adaptor. I have looked this up on the Apple site and also in 'The Flatscreen iMac for Dummies' book (I'm a complete technophobe, I'm afraid!), but am none the wiser.
    If possible, model numbers for the Airport card and adaptor that I do need would be much appreciated.
    Many thanks,
    Jeremy

    Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu and click on More Info, or if you're running Mac OS 9, choose Apple System Profiler from the Apple menu. Check the speed of the computer's CPU; if it is below 1GHz, you need the regular AirPort card, with the AirPort Extreme card being used on newer iMacs. No iMac G4 requires an adaptor to use an AirPort card.

  • How to know which airport card?

    Hi, I have an iBook G4 with the small display; an acquiantance has the same laptop and she can use the wireless internet at our house no problem. Now I know I don't need a base station to be able to log into wireless but I don't know which airport card I should get; express, extreme etc ... any clues?
    thanks

    Rubens, Welcome to the discussion area!
    That's easy! Every iBook G4 (without built-in wireless) uses the AirPort Extreme card.

  • Which Airport card can I install in my iBook?

    Hi.
    I have a 12in iBook early 2004 model (1.07 GHz). Now I want to buy and install an Airport card. Can I use an Airport Extreme card on this computer or do I need to get an earlier version of the Airport card? The web site says: 'The AirPort Extreme Card can be installed only in computers that are AirPort Extreme ready. AirPort Extreme Cards cannot be used in AirPort-ready computers with an AirPort Card slot'.
    Basically, which airport card is compatible with my iBook? I have not found any info on this web site.
    Thanks,
    Oskar

    All iBook G4's (except of course those that come with the wireless interface factory-installed) use the Apple Airport Extreme card.

  • Airport card works in 10.1, HW test passes, but not detected at all in 10.4

    Ok, Hi. I'll first admit this is my first post so go easy on me!
    I just bought a used iBook G3 and it was working fine for a while until about a month ago when all kinds of weird things stared happening. Some of which those problems I solved from reading previous topics from these forums - but anyways, I'll skip all my other problems and get right to my current one.
    First off here is the complete specs:
    12.1" iBook G3 "dual USB series"
    500MHz PPC processor
    128+256MB ram = 384MB RAM
    15GB hard drive (NOW 160GB HARD DRIVE!)
    No Airport Card (NOW ONE HAS BEEN ADDED!)
    Multiple OS's - OS9 and 10.1 were included (have original disks)
    I also have a set of 10.4 Tiger CD-ROM disks
    Anyways, here is basically what is happening. I bought an Airport card off eBay for my iBook. I installed it about a week ago. I booted into 10.4 Tiger and it did not detect the card. Tried to do the manual setup with the wizard and it said there was no card attached. I went into the system profiler and is said No info available under the airport section. I then booted to my "apple hardware test disk" and ran the full/extended test. It passed everything (including the Airport card) so I know that is not the problem. I then booted into OS X 10.1 and lone behold the card is detected and is working without any fooling around with! Instant wireless internet! So I know that the card is working, but I want to use it in Tiger as 10.1 is almost worthless. So I boot into Tiger again knowing that the card is working, and Tiger still does not recognize it! I even booted into OS 9 and it detected the card (although it was having some connection problems, but at least I know that it IS detecting it.)
    Here is what I tried (so you can cross these suggestions off your list! lol)
    I've deleted the Airport "ktext" files, etc. (can't remember the actual names of the files, but I've cleared all of those caches and still no luck.)
    I've zapped PRAM
    I rest NVRAM
    I rest the PMU.
    I did a Arcive and install of 10.4
    ...All of which did not help. Again, the card worked in 10.1, but 10.4 is completely blind and can't find it!
    Now we are caught up to today. I was having many other odd problems and it all lead to my hard drive probably being bad. So toady I finally bit the bullet and bought a new hard drive from Best Buy. It took me forever to install it, but I did it, and it works! Now I have 160GB (make that only 128GB detected) of space. I partitioned it 4 ways as well:
    "Tiger" - 80GB
    "Other OS" - 30GB
    "Extra Space 1" - 10GB
    "Extra Space 2" - 8GB
    xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx- 128GB Total
    So now that I have a new hard drive (that I was told would fix all of my problems because my old one was "bad" I thought I would have it working today, but no. So I put in the brand new drive, partitioned it, booted off my Tiger disk, installed it on the 80GB partition. The install went fine. So I now have 10.4 on the new drive. Seems to be a lot faster then my old drive! I did the combo updater (which I downloaded on my iMac and transfered to a flash drive and loaded on to my iBook) Ran the updater, and now it is running 10.4.11! But then I realized, the Airport card is STILL not detected in Tiger!!! - I thought the new hard drive would solve all my problems as I was staring from scratch, but no, there is still a problem!
    I ran the Apple hardware test disk again, full test, and it said my Airport card is still fine. I didn't reinstall 10.1 yet (nor did I want to, I was hoping Tiger would work for what I wanted) but it seems now that I might have to go back and install 10.1 again. I don't know what it will prove - other then it will work again, but I don't want to use 10.1 so I'm not going to bother doing all that again.
    Anyways, after looking into this further, I brought up the system boot log (of tiger) and found these lines interesting, and hopefully useful to you guys:
    localhost kernel[0]: AirPortFirmware: start Sta f/w download
    localhost kernel[0]: AirPortDriver: F/W download failed
    localhost kernel[0]: AirPortFirmware: start Sta f/w download
    localhost DirectoryService[64]: Lunched version 1.8 (v346)
    localhost kernel[0]: AirPortDriver: F/W download failed
    it then lists the eithernet address and then ramblers on about other nonsense. If anyone needs the other "stuff" i'll try and save the whole log file and attach it here if anyone needs it.
    So could anyone please help? It seems as if i've done everything, and still can not get an answer on why it is doing this, and how to fix it!
    Please Help!
    Thanks you so much, and sorry for the long yet detailed message!!!

    Hey, just wanted to post an update to let everyone know what I ended up doing.
    Bottom line with the airport card I had is that is was "bad" - well only kind of. I got an email from a guy from a local PC repair shop. He told me he had just gotten one of those cards in and had it for sale for only $25. So I was chatting with this guy and he said it would be alright if I brought my iBook right in his shop, swap the cards and try it before I buy it. So I did so. Very nice guy and we swapped out the cards no problem. Right away it recognized his card and worked! I then downloaded the Airport update and ran it. (remember before, when I tried to update my card, after it restarted it was no longer recognized.) So we did the update with HIS card in and after it restarted, it STILL worked! It also added WPA support as well! We then booted into to Tiger (remember the old card wasn't recognized at all in tiger) and it ALSO worked in Tiger! I also had WPA support right away! So I bought the card and was all happy that it was all working again! I then figured out what the problem was with the old one.
    My original card was one of the "original" originals. Then, Apple "changed" the original cards and replaced ones with "128bit" support. (this is all before the extreme cards) I then found out that the newer original cards (the one the guy just sold me) are worth MORE because these are the cards that are compatible with the newer update (128bit WEP, and WPA) The cards looked exactly the same, but the newer card has "128 Bit" printed on the bottom of the card.
    SO, it ended up, I was "asking too much" out of the card I had - as the card I had did not support what I was trying for it to do. Where as the newer card I bought IS compatible with the update, and worked like a piece of cake. So all in all, the first card I had isn't "dead" it just wasn't working with what I wanted it to. So I'm going to end up selling it. Hopefully craigslist, but I will get more for it on eBay. so that is what I'm going to do. I'll just make sure to tell people this "story" so they don't try and do the same thing I did. But for someone with an even older laptop, an older OS, or an older router, this card will work just fine for them.
    So thats basically it! Looks like I got everything working!

  • Airport card working but can't connect to internet

    hi all,
    airport card (just plain airport card) is working and is connected to a verizon fios router. signal very strong. just can't connect to internet via safari, camino or firefox. running 10.3.9 os. i've rebooted twice to no avail.
    altho, i can connect on my g4 powerbook using the same router.
    why isn't the g4 flat panel imac connecting? any ideas?

    In the Network system preference panel, is the wireless component
    selected and in the list of items in the configuration the Mac sees?
    You can drag the item(s) into preferred order of use, if there is more
    than one, ie: dialup modem, ethernet connection, airport base.
    If both computers have a similar operating system, it may be an
    idea to look carefully into each, and not change anything in the
    one which appears to work correctly; to look for differences.
    Does the wireless router provide support for 802.11/b as well
    as wi-fi 802.11/g? The older airport card runs on the older spec.

  • Can my G4 Airport card work in my G5?

    I now have a G5 (Dual 1.8 GHz PowerPC G5 [3.0]/PowerMac7,3). I have an airport card in my old G4 (PowerPC G4 [3.3] PowerMac3,6). Can I use the airport card from the G4 in my G5?
    Thanks

    Hi-
    If the G4 is a FW800 Mirror Drive Door machine, then the Airport Extreme card is compatible in the G5.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3024
    All other G4's used the regular Airport card, which will not work in the G5.

  • IMac 17" G4 (Flat Panel) - Which Airport Card

    I have an iMac 17" G4 Flat Panel computer. The processor is 1.0 Ghz. I looked up on Apple's site which card it takes. This link is a bit confusing. It says the iMac G4 17" Flat Panel uses an original AirPort card, but then the next line says iMac 17" 1 Ghz uses an AirPort Extreme Card.
    Here is the link...
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86258
    Anyone know for sure?

    Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions. 
    If your processor speed is ≥1GHz then you have the correct card (Airport Extreme). If your iMac is ≤800MHz then you need the original Airport card.
    Make sure you have the card inserted fully in to the slot.
    let us know how you get on.

  • Which airport card to install on g4 imac (17")

    i just bought a new imac and want to put my g4 imac in another room. i'd like to install an airport card so i can access the internet through the time machine (which is connected to the new imac). i'm having trouble figuring out which card to get--airport card or airport extreme? i'm not even certain my g4 can take an airport card? how do i know which card to get? please help. thanks.

    So when you run System Profiler and look in Network->AirPort Card there is information there? If nothing is there your iMac G4 does not have the card installed. None of the iMac G4s had the card automatically installed when they left the factory. If your iMac G4 has the card, then someone installed it later or they ordered it as a build option.
    If the card is installed and if AirPort is enabled in System Preferences-> Network preference pane, you should see an AirPort icon in the menu bar. If you click on this icon you will see a list of networks that your iMac has detected. Does your network appear there?

  • Which Express34 Cards work with the latest Yosemite?

    I'm running OS X 10.10.1 on a MBP 17" which I just bought 2nd hand - it all seems fine EXCEPT the Thunderbolt port doesn't seem to work - "No Hardware Found".
    It is a Mid 2010 machine.
    I suppose I will have to go to the apple store to fix the Thunderbolt issue (unless anyone has ideas?) but in the meantime I would like to buy an Express34 Card with a USB3 port for me to use as a stopgap. Easier said than done it seems. I've read lots of comments that generic cards don't work etc.
    Can somebody tell me which product will work under this setup? Does it have to be a 'mac branded' one? If so, which?
    Thanks very much!
    Phil

    First be advised that a 2010 MBP has only a minidisplay port.  It is not a Thunderbolt connection.
    I have an OWC and a Sonnet Express34 cards in my 17" MBPs.  Both work with no problems.  I use it for eSata connections to my external HDDs.  Do not expect to get USB3 transmit speeds via the card.
    Ciao.

  • PLEASE HELP! How to get (old) Airport Card working on (old) emac???

    Hi, I have an older 700MHz emac and I got an Airport Card (the original, I think).
    I opened the CD tray, connected the antennae and seated the card, but it still says "No information found" when I look in the system profile, under Airport Card.
    What could I be doing wrong? I've re-tried this a couple of times already.

    Push the card in really hard, until your hear it click - Mine was like yours, then I tried one last time to press it in real hard, and it worked... If that doesnt work, then you have a dud card, or your Airport slot is broken.

  • Help...Can't figure out which AirPort card I need...

    I need help figuring out which is the correct AirPort card for my old emac. (see specs below)
    I don't know if this model is too old. I don't know how to tell if the emac is "ATI Graphics" or "USB 2.0." These are listed separately as two different emac models in the "compatible" computers for the AirPort Express card.
    Any help/direction would be GREATLY appreciated!

  • E-mac (usb 2.0), will extreme airport card work?

    Hi fellow discussionists,
    I just purchased a second hand e-mac. When I type it's serial number into a website, it tells me it is a E-mac (usb 2.0) model. I found some documentation on Apple's website saying this is compatible with an 'extreme airport card'.
    Before I log on to the apple store and order one, can anyone tell me if an extreme airport card will work with this model e-mac?
    Thanks for your time!

    My eMac is also eMac (USB 2.0). I purchased an Airport Extreme card and inserted it into the computer, then tried to run the install disk. But I get a message telling me that I "cannot install Aiport on this volume. My software is currently up to date." What's the problem? It says I must have OS X v10.3 or later and I have 10.4.11. Yet My base light is solid orange and I am at a loss.
    Thanks.
