Will the Airport from the new mini work in the old mini.

I have a MacMini (Intel 2008 model) and I don't use the Airport in it. I want to remove the Airport in that mini and install it in my old MacMini (PPC 2006 model) which doesn't have Airport right now it has a usb wireless stick. I gave that old mini to my mother and she keeps forgetting that the sick is for her internet and removing it. it will also free up that usb port since right now there is no free usb port. Will the Airport from the new mini work in the old mini. I'm not afraid opening them I already installed ram myself in both.

I assume the old PPC you have is a Mac Mini 1.42GHZ or 1.5GHZ G4 from 2005/2006, which should have shipped with AirPort Extreme and Bluetooth 2.0+EDR pre-installed. What happened to it?
Anyway, both Mac mini models support Airport Extreme cards, but looking at the repair guides from ifixit.com, the Airport extreme cards look to be different in size.
Mac Mini G4:
Mac Mini Intel:
For the PowerPC G4 model here is a guide on installing the Airport card: http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Repair/Installing-Mac-mini-PowerPC-AirPort-Extreme-C ard/271/1
For the Intel model: http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Repair/Installing-Mac-mini-Model-A1176-AirPort-Extre me/1112/1
I don't think they would fit, but Good luck.

    I changed out my old cell phone for a Motorola zoom and now the zoom has my old phone number associated with it's sim card. I just purchased a Samsung Android cell phone and would like to trade the sim from my new to cell to the zoom so I can have my old cell phone number back. The problem is the sim cards are different sizes. Is this something I can take to a store and get switched out?

    SRCLARK,
    Great question! You can go to the store and get a replacement SIM card at the store. Any corporate store will be more than happy to help replacing your card. http://bit.ly/3SdsA

  • HT3546 Does the Airport Extreme Base Station not work with the OS X Lion?

    Ever since updated to OSX Lion can't get our airport station to work.  Is it too old and won't work with this upgrade so do we need a newer airport?

    Suggest that you download and install AirPort Utility 5.6 for Mac OS X Lion which should work with your older AirPort Extreme.
    You can keep both AirPort Utility 6.1 and 5.6 on your Mac and use the one that you want or need at the time.

  • I want to use the SSD from my new 12 core in my old 4 core but the 4 core doesn't see the SSD.  Flashing file with "?".  What do I need to do?

    I spend a lot of time in a location far from home.  I bought a new MacPro 12 core to use at home and took the old 4 core to the alternate location.  I figured I could just take my hard drives back and forth instead of schlepping a whole MacPro.  The 12 core has a SSD drive to boot from and a 2 TB storage drive for photo files.  It came with Mountain Lion (10.8.2).  At the new location the 4 core does not find the SSD and won't boot.  Grey screen.  If I take the SSD out I can boot with the 2TB drive but it boots in OSX 10.6.8.  I can get by with that workaround, but I'd like to use the SSD if I can because PhotoShop runs a lot faster from it. 
    The SSD does not show up in Finder or Disk Utility when the computer is booted up with the 2TB drive.
    What do I need to do?

    ...or that the installed image on the SSD came from a model-specific version of Mac OS X that shipped with that Mac, and does not have the drivers to support a different model Macintosh, not even an older Mac Pro.
    You can install a new Mac OS X image, such as "Full Retail" 10.6.3 off a DVD in under an hour, and have it up to date and ready for production in only a little more time.
    Or you could clone 10.6.8 onto the SSD (from the other Hard Drive that does boot) in about a quarter hour.

  • Can a new stylus work with an old Palm?

    I have an old - but barely used - Palm M100 that I would like to give to my grandson. But I've lost the stylus. Will any stylus from any newer model work with, and fit into, this old model Palm? I've looked online but no one lists old M100 styli for sale.
    Post relates to: Palm m100

    The new stylus will work but for the most part not fit in the holding slot.

    Never mind, I think. I think I figured it out. There was 1 song (out of > 900!) that somehow had been purchased with the other ID - I have no idea how. Once I deleted that song, it stopped asking.
    There may be something with the newest iTunes version too. I didn't think in older versions that the "On this iPod" list of songs was greyed out. But at least it syncs ok.

    First night I was able to watch 2 TV shows (45 min each) with no problems, but thereafter programs will not stream without constant pause to buffer. Weather conditions are ideal and my internet comes from crappy hugesnet, but worked fine the first night.

    The speed may have been ok at that time and is too inconsistent/too slow overall. interference may have proven to be more of an issue since as well. If using public DNS that will provide Intermittant results
    I'm sure using a hotspot would be fine but it depends on your viewing habits. An HD movie is around 4-5GB. It would also be subject to speed. requirements so best to test to see how it compares.
    You would have to check with your Carrier if hotspot it's enabled then just to into your settings and toggle it ON

  • Will my HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless work with the new Mac OS Lion

    Will my HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless work with the new Mac OS Lion

    My experience with upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion is that the OfficeJet Pro 8500 Wireless will print just fine, although it seems to take a little longer to find the printer on the network. My scan function however locks up and will not work. This really is an annoyance, though, since I have VueScan, which works fine with Lion.
    Hopefully, Apple and HP will not orphan the OS native scanning feature for HP multifunction printers.

  • Will an american Mac Mini work in the UK?

    My girlfriend is bringing me one home from Georgia, and I suddenly got the fear that it might not work in the UK, can anybody help me?

    Mark, your Mini will work in the UK and all around the world, however, the American plug will not work in the UK (if you have a Tri or Quad band cell phone you probably have two plugs, one for the UK and another - often built-in - for the US).
    What you will need is the AC cord on page 7 of the Mac mini's manual.
    Maybe your local Apple Store will be able to sell you one.

  • Will the airport devices and time capsule work with telstras mobile hotspot (Sierra Wireless AirCard 753S Mobile Hotspot)??

    will the airport devices and time capsule work with telstras mobile hotspot (Sierra Wireless AirCard® 753S Mobile Hotspot)??

    Yes. There are 2 ways you could use these devices:
    Wirelessly 'join' the network. This would be slower and doesn't offer extending functionality.
    Use an Ethernet cable (through Powerline if you can't run a cable). This is faster and offers extending functionality. I would recommend using Bridge Mode if possible.

    I recently transferred my internet service to another state.I have not yet moved my imac, just my pc laptop. I cannot get my airport extreme wireless router to work. The green light stays lit when everything is connected but I can't connect to the internet. Any suggestions?

    I would recommend that you do the following as a minimum:
    Power-down the modem, AirPort base station, and computer(s).
    Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes to allow it adequate time to initialize.
    Power-up the AirPort base station; wait at least 5-10 minutes. Note: The AirPort's status light may continue to flash amber after it has intialized. That is because, there may be some additional configuration items necessary, like setting up wireless security, before the overall setup is completed to get a green status.
    Power-up your computer(s).
    If the above steps do not solve the problem, start over with step 1 above, but then perform the next steps between steps 1 & 2. above.
    Disconnect the AirPort base station from the Internet broadband modem.
    While all of the devices are powered-down, perform a "factory default" reset on the base station. This will get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration and make setting it up much easier, especially if you use the "Assist me" process within the AirPort Utility. (ref: Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule)
    After the base station resets, go ahead and power it back down.
    Reconnect the AirPort base station to the Internet broadband modem. For the Extreme and Time Capsule, be sure to connect the cable to the base station's WAN (circle-of-dots) port.
    Continue with step 2 in the first set of steps.
    In this basic configuration, the AirPort base station will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a Network Name (SSID) of Apple Network NNNNNN. Network clients, connected to the base station either by wire or wireless, should now be able to access the Internet through the ISP's modem. Once Internet connectivity has been verified, you can use the AirPort Utility to configure the base station for wireless security and any other desired options. Please post back your results.

  • Time Capsule error 22 - My time capsule was working fine and didn't notice anything wrong with it until it stopped backing up about two weeks ago. I never changed anything like computer names or the Airport settings. All I get is the following: The backup

    Time Capsule error 22 - My time capsule was working fine and didn't notice anything wrong with it until it stopped backing up about two weeks ago. I never changed anything like computer names or the Airport settings. All I get is the following:
    The backup disk image "/Volumes/Data/Linda's Computer 1.sparsebundle" could not be created (error 22).
    I tried resetting the Time Capsule and connecting with an ethernet cable, although the Ariport Utility says everything is working fine through WiFi.

    If the light will not turn on the TC is dead. No matter that the hard disk is running.. it should only run at start up or when it is accessed not constantly.. that means the board in the TC has failed. Apple do not repair them.. They will replace it under warranty or applecare.
    If you have gone over the 12month warranty it will still be covered if you have applecare on any computer or an Apple TV. In fact the cost of the apple TV plus apple care is still cheaper than buying a new TC.. so it is a route some people are taking.. certainly depends.. in some places like Europe or Australia now, there is a recognition that statutory warranty must be longer on a product that is premium to the market. 12months is not good enough. Apple will sometimes listen.
    They might be fixable but I do not know how.

  • I have the airport express as router can I buy the new airport express and use my old airport to extend my net?

    I have the airport express as router can I buy the new airport express and extend my net?

    Things can get confusing pretty quickly since there are 3 different versions of the AirPort Express.
    If by "old", you mean you have Model No A1084 or A1088 AirPort Express (look at the label on the side of the device for the Model No), it cannot be used with the "Extend a wireless network" feature of other newer Apple routers.
    If your AirPort Extreme is "square" shaped with rounded corners, then the "old" AirPort Express will not work with your AirPort Extreme using the "Extend a wireless network" settings.
    You could use a "previous version" AirPort Express, Model No A1264 to "Extend", or the "new" AirPort Express, Model No A1392, for that purpose.
    If your AirPort Extreme is a simultaneous dual band product, then the "new" Express would be able to "extend" both bands.  The "previous" AirPort Express (Model A1264) would be able to extend only one band, since it is not a dual band device.

    just got an iPad 2 and neither Keynote nor Pages were compatible. when I updated iOS as requisited, the backup from iTunes didn't work. the iPad doesn't connect to iTunes. what do I do?

    Usually it's because you are not making internet connection via wifi.

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html

  • My iPad 2 home button has stopped working I have tried the swivel from landscape to portrait whilst holding the button, I have tried holding the off button then the home button and I was told I could create my own home button in the settings but I can't!

    My iPad 2 home button has stopped working all together, I have tried the swivel from landscape to portrait whilst holding the home button, I've tried pressing the off switch then pressing the home button, the other thing I was advised to do was create a home button in the settings under the accessibility option but I don't have the option I was advised to use under there! Help! It's really frustrating having to turn the device off everytim I want to switch apps and I really can't afford to send it away to be mended! Many thanks in advance

    The accessibilty setting that was mentioned is:
    * Enable AssistiveTouch
    Enable AssistiveTouch which floats a virtual button on-screen which can mimic all hardware buttons on the device:
    Settings>General>Accessibility>AssistiveTouch: turn ON
    *Note* If you power off the device using the AssistiveTouch panel (tap the on-screen AssistiveTouch button, Device>Lock Screen (tap and hold to power off)), you will NOT be able to power on the device *if your Sleep/Wake (power) button is not functioning*. You will need to connect the powered off device either to a PC's USB port or an external charger to power the device back on.
