Will the wireless extreme card fit a MDD Mac

I tried to take the wireless extreme card from my FW 800 out and put it in my MDD Mac. It doesn't seem to be interchangeable. The guide in the MDD is about 1 inch longer than the FW 800. With some fooling around you can seem to plug it in and hook up the antenna but it doesn't seem to work. About this Mac doesn't see a wireless card installed. What wireless card should I use? There ate some USB wireless cards that claim to work in any Mac with a USB port and 10.3 or higher??

No. Remove it immediately.
What wireless card should I use?
The original AirPort card, a PCI card, or an external adaptor.

    i have an imac g4 purchased Dec 2003 runnung OS 10.5.8.  It runs fine with airport off, but when I turn airport on it freezes with the black page,  "restart by holding power key . . ."  I swapped the airport extreme card with the one in my ibook G4 (purchased same date and running same OS).  No change in operation.
    I am running wifi from verizon.  Recently changed from mifi2200 to jetpak 4620 in a 3G location.  Ibook running fine, desktop freezes.  If I can boot desktop in safe mode and get airport turned off in time. then I can reboot regularly and imac runs flawlessly with no wireless.Have run disk utilities and TechTool Pro rebuild etc, but nothing has worked.  How do I fine the culprit?

    the power logix thing was really sad. apple changed so much after 10.4.8 that there wasn't a viable way to patch the software.
    That statement is precisely why I don't believe in blindly updating the OS, especially in a non-standard machine.
    We can't expect third parties to support us forever, and it is shameful to break something that works fine, except that we updated the OS....
    I think that any upgrade or modification to a machine or the OS greatly increases the risk of trouble or incompatibility with current configuration and "new" system files.
    After all, the component or software could only be tested as far as the current OS version when the component or software was released.
    Beyond that, we are all "beta testing".
    Following a beta tester protocol, and applying updates to a cloned system drive first, is a prudent way to approach updates, and not only for older, heavily modified machines.
    After 10.4.8 and moreso with Leopard, the focus is primarily on Intel architecture, not PPC architecture.
    Like it or not, we are all updating to the abyss of the extinction of our machines, unless we can be satisfied with the last stable version of OS that works well with our hardware and software.
    I wish they would include the latest pkgs at least with software update.
    Yes, having individual packages, rather than lump "OS X 10.x.x" updates would be nice.
    This way, one could update as one sees fit. That is to say, for example, fix the Quicktime, but leave my Network alone, etc., etc.
    In all fairness, Apple does provide for some breakdown of updates, but I believe there is much room for improvement, especially, as you point out, with regard to the core services portion of the OS.
    Until then, I'll leave Software Update disabled.......

  • HT2494 The wireless internet card in my macbook pro 2009 is damaged, where can I have it repaired?

    The wireless internet card in my macbook pro 2009 is damaged, where can I have it replaced or is there any alternative way so that I can connect to wifi?
    Thanks

    Really? The AASP I went to services both Macs and iPhones (and was actually within that list,) and I was very surprised earlier that they refused to help me with repairing my iPhone 5, even if I voluntarily and expressly said that I am willing to pay for the cost. The service provider said he can't help me with anything and advised that I have it shipped to Singapore (and since that is very difficult for me now, I came here instead to ask for advice).
    I will try another AASP very soon and shall update you. Thanks for your help, Clinton!

  • Which slot for the airport extreme card?

    I just picked up an airport extreme card for my mac pro. I located the slot in the mac pro, but there are two on top of each other.
    Question: which slot do I have to use: the upper or lower one?
    Iemke

    Thanks for the answer, however inserting the card was
    not the difficult thing. Finding the correct wire for
    the antenna was the difficult thing. A apple
    certified technician helped me with that issue.
    Iemke
    I want to buy the mac Pro and install the airport extreme card - what is the model number of the new card (apple tech tell me it is different from the old G4 card of the same name) and which is the correct wire to attach it to?
    BTW I know my way around the G4 desktop having upgraded &/or replaced everything screwed down in those
    this knowledge will speed up the purchase process-thanks

  • Help.  Is the Airport Extreme Card compatible with my iMac?

    Probably stupidly simple, but I'm not sure of the answer. I've tried to get the answer online, but no luck. Can someone tell me if the airport extreme card will work with my iMac?
    TIA,
    Ben
    Hardware Overview:
    Machine Model: iMac G5
    CPU Type: PowerPC G5 (3.0)

    Yes the AirPort Extreme card is the correct card for your iMac.

  • Disable the wireless network card upon connection.

    Has anyone done the following, if so can you provide some insite on how to do it and how well it works....If wireless networking is not being used in the organization, it is possible for CSA to disable
    the wireless network card when it is connected to the corporate network. I'm assuming by using the system
    state variable with the rule, you can allow laptop users the ability to use wireless when they are
    not connected to the corporate network.

    I dont' see a system state "ethernet active" do I create this? I'm on CSA version 5.1.0.103. I have a system state called network which has the description of All users who are logged on via a network connection. Is that the same thing you mean? Then how do I create the rule? I get to where I have a NAC rule but I'm not for sure what to choose after that.

  • How could the wireless ethernet card running automatic when system reboot?

    I have already setup the wireless networking card correctly which name is wpi0,but every time when I use it to link to internet,
    I had to key the instuction like this :
    ifconfig wpi0 plumb
    ifconfig wpi0 up
    ifconfig wpi0 dhcp
    and then input:
    wificonfig -i wpi0 connect mywifi
    comment: mywifi is the profile file of connection to my wireless router
    I had set it with the instruction before like thisi
    wificonfig createprofile mywifi essid=2WIRE678 encryption=wep wepkey1=1234567890
    anybody can help me group up the command line and has it running automatic when system reboot
    it seems the wireless card always need manual connect to router, that 's trouble.

    It should connect on it's own. Which version of Solaris are you using?
    If worse comes to worse just drop all of your commands into a simple script and then run that script as part of your .profile or equivalent.

    Will the standard iPad case fit the the iPad Air or is there a specific type case for the iPad Air?

    The air is different dimensions from other iPads, so look for cases made specifically for it. I know that Targus has some, so does Zagg and i'm sure other manufacturers do as well.

  • Will the 5870 Video card run off...

    I have a 5870 Video card in a 2012 Mac Pro using 2 power connections off the motherboard. No available power connections right now.
    I need a spare power connection off the motherboard to run an Avid HDX card, (fan only), so will the 5870 Video card run ok split (Y) off one power connection?
    I've got the cable, but I didn't want to just do it and ruin something.
    Thanks for the help.

  • ANyone knows the location of the Airmac Extreme Card in MBP?

    I know it may be built into the logic board from MBP series but I could find it on my Powerbook G4 right under the battery lid.
    If its user replaceable, is it similar in spec with the Airmac Extreme card?
    I just want to replace it with a different locale type.
    MBP   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Thanks Dwarf for your helpful hints.
    If you go to the following thread; there are few users having problems with the type of the Extreme card installed in their MBP. I am also one of them.
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=433599&tstart=0
    Now another question and I know it maybe difficult. Is there a chance of getting the Hardware Layout Diagram of MBP? I am ready to open my MBP (I am pretty professional on this) but before doing it, i need to know the exact location of the card itself instead of playing around with other peripherals.
    Thanks for the help, though.
