Wire bracket in iBookG4 - can't clip in airport extreme card

The airport extreme card is installed and works but I can't put back the keyboard because i can't get the clip to sit back in the slots. Others too have tried. Any ideas please or should I just use pliers? Thanks.

Check that you inserted your AirPort Extreme card
"completely".
Check that the antenna cable isn't under the bracket.

    No you can not use an AirPort Extreme card with your PowerBook.
    Your PowerBook G4 400 MHz requires the original AirPort card.

  • Where can I buy an airport extreme card for my g5 in canada?/

    I just got a power mac g5 i have the antenna but no "airport extreme card" where can i get one ? are they hard to install?

    Try here:
    http://www.ehmac.ca/classifieds/
    Or, there is always eBay Canada, which has numerous offerings for the Airport Extreme card:
    eBay Search
    Hong Kong seems to have some of the best buys, with shipping for as little as $2.
    US sellers abound, with numerous European sellers as well.
    There's a Canadian seller who thinks that his cards are worth more than when new.......

  • Where can i buy an airport extreme card for my powerbook

    Where can I buy an airPort extreme caed for my powerbook? are they even available, if not how can I go wireless ?

    eBay is a good source, though as ever, buy wisely and make sure you get the right card for your specific model.
    Alternatively there are wireless cards available that go in the card slot. Again eBay is full of them but be sure they're OSX compatible -  its a good idea to put this phrase in your search terms.
    I can vouch that this one works as I'm using it now:
    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SAGEM-PCMCIA-AIRPORT-54MBPS-WIRELESS-WIFI-CARD-MAC-OS-X-/4 00124141388?pt=UK_Computing_Apple_Mac_Accessories&hash=item5d2941df4c#ht_3229wt_ 886
    It just plugged straight in and was recognised as an Airport Card. This is from the UK site but I'm sure you can find the same thing wherever you live, or at that price just have it shipped.

  • My eMac can't find installed airport Extreme card

    Hello everyone,
    Having bought a netgear wireless modem for a wi-fi connection, I was told to install an airport extreme card on my eMac, which I did - several times. But the eMac says he can't find when I look for it, either in the internet setup or in the general information about the hard and software. I also installed the accompanying software. Why can this be ? Thanks for your advice!
    eMac   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    It's an eMac (USB 2.0) model. I'm not certain I should try to push the card in more ? Are those cards defective frequently ?
    Which eMac do you have? You can use KB 86325, eMac: How to locate the serial number
    and identify your model to determine which model
    you have.
    If your eMac is the "eMac (ATI Graphics)", "eMac (USB
    2.0)", or "eMac (2005)" the AirPort Extreme card is the correct
    wireless card.
    If your eMac is the "eMac", it requires the original
    AirPort card and is not compatible with
    the AirPort Extreme card.
    Assuming that your eMac is compatible with the AirPort Extreme card, one or more of
    the following must be true if the eMac is not
    detecting the card.
    The card is not installed
    correctly.
    The card is defective.
    The
    eMac's motherboard is defective.

  • IMac G4-can i use a Airport Extreme card to connect??

    I'm a bit confused..which macs let you use an airport extreme card, which are for the normal airport cards, and which require 'something else'??!
    I have a iMac G4, not sure exactly which OS (I know it's OS x but not what the numbers are). It's around 4 years old but I've been told I may need to get something else as well as the airport cards? It's passed on info so sorry I can't be more accurate!
    It's to connect to a MIMO belkin router, apparently that's fine if i get the right thing
    any help would be greatly appreciated!
    thanks

    Duane--please forgive me if I am not doing this right, but I am new to the discussion area and haven't figured out how to post a new question for everyone to ask. I have a 17inch flat panel iMac, 800mhz processor speed and am looking to purchase an airport card from e-Bay. I see various people selling and I know I need the original airport card. But my question is: are there more than one models of the original airport card? For instance, one seller is listing an original airport card model # M7600LL/A at a certain price, and it lists my computer as being one of the computers that this card will work with. Another seller has an original airport card model # M7600LL/E for a much lower price. But the description is rather bare of information. Is this the same card just at a different price? Or are there different models of the original airport card? Thanks in advance!

  • How can I get an Airport Extreme card to recognize a Nintendo DS WiFI?

    With an Airport Extreme Base Station the Airport Admin Utility lets you enter the hexidecimal code for the DS (Nintendo calls this the "MAC Address".). The Airport Admin Utility will not open because I do not have a base station. My iMac is connected to the web by ethernet cable and I use this iMac as the base station for my wireless network. Where can I enter the "MAC Address" for my son's DS?
    iMac G5   Mac OS X (10.4.4)   1st edition

    My son got a DS for Christmas. I have the Extreme base station and I had to use WEP security and not WPA. You have to get the WEP key from the Admin software. According to the Nintendo Wifi site, the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection USB Connector is not compatible with Macintosh so you can only use a base station. This is from the Nintendo web site:
    Will I be able to use the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection if I have a Macintosh?
    As long as you have a wireless router that is compatible with the Nintendo WFC -- and almost all of them are -- then you will be able to connect to the Nintendo WFC from your home. For gamers who do not have a compatible wireless router, and do not wish to purchase one, Nintendo offers the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection USB Connector as an alternative. Unfortunately, this device is not compatible with Macintosh systems. You can still play by connecting at a local Hotspot, or purchasing a compatible wireless router.
    Hope this helps.

  • Can I put an AirPort Extreme card in a G4?

    I have two G4's and just demoted one to my kids'. I need to buy a 2nd AirPort card so they can connect to the internet but all I can find in the stores and on the Apple site is the Extreme card.
    1. How do I know if my older machines are AirPort Extreme enabled?
    2. Why are the original AirPort cards twice the price they were in July?
    Thanks!

    Unless your G4 is a Firewire 800 model it takes the older Airport card. Under the Apple menu the "About This Mac" will tell you which model you have after you click "More Info..."

    Since those cards are no longer manufactured their prices are going to continue to go up if you can find one.

  • Mac Pro - can I install the Airport Extreme card myself

    Or do I need to have the store do it? I have a Mac Pro 2.66 tower and want to get wireless internet.
    Thank you!

    The Mac Pro wireless card is an item that is installed by an Apple Authorized Service Provider (AASP).

  • Using a wire connected mac as wireless base-station by using airport extreme card

    I created a network on my mac and my iPhone is connected to it, but it says the network is not connected to internet.
    So can I connect the airport extreme card on my mac to the ethernet of my mac by changing the network settings on my mac?

  • IMac G5 PPC without Airport Extreme Card.... Can install one?

    I bought a 20" iMac G5 in November 2004 and it didn't come with a wireless card. Can I buy an Airport Extreme card from Apple and install it? I've been searching these forums and there seems to be a question of whether there's already an antenna in there to connect to. Would appreciate anyone's advice and guidance.
    Also, is their a USB dongle WiFi receiver that works with this iMac? Just wondering if that may be a better option?
    Thank you very much for your help.

    Yes you can purchase and install the AirPort Extreme card in your iMac G5.
    I've been searching these forums and there seems to be a question of whether there's already an antenna in there to connect to.
    Yes there is.
    The best wireless option is the AirPort Extreme card.

  • Silly question, maybe. I want to change from Verizon DSL to cable, but cable company doesn't supply router.  can I use my Airport Extreme as wireless router?

    We currently have the following wireless home-network configuration, powered by Verizon DSL. 
    2 macbook pro’s
    1 emachine
    HP PhotoSmart 6122 all-in-one printer
    Apple TV
    Apple Airport Extreme Base Port A 1408
    Westell 7500 router
    Thinking I’d get wider wireless coverage throughout my 2 bedroom home, I purchased the Airport Extreme. It is connected to the router via its sole usb port.  The result was only a tiny increase in speed, and no increase in coverage, so I don’t know why I have it.
    We now want to change from DSL to cable, thus ditching Verizon.  Our new cable provider supplies the cable box, but no router for wireless networking. 
    Here are my questions.
    Can I use the Airport Extreme (AE) as a wireless router? 
    If so, how should I hook it up?  Should the usb cable go from the AE to the cable box, and all the other devices connect wirelessly?
    If not, how should I be using the AE to some advantage?  What can I get out of the investment?
    Thank you very much for your help!  Beatriz

    What I wrote has nothing to do with what the cable company charges for their installation. And, usually they will help with the router setup even if you supply your own router. I don't know what they will charge for the modem.
    Note that you need to get just a modem. You don't want a modem/router combination. That will make using an AEBS effectively nearly impossible. You will need to ask specifically for just a standalone modem, and that you will supply your own router.

  • Can I use an airport extreme to extend the range of my wireless modem

    Can I use an Airport Extreme to extend the range of my wireless modem?
    At one end of my house I have a dual band wireless ADSL modem which provides my internet connection and I want to extend (improve) the wireless coverage to the other of the hosue where my Apple TV (2nd gen) is located. I have being trying to extend my wireless network with an Airport Extreme but so far without success. I can get the Airport to join the wireless network, but I suspect that it is only acting as another client and not actually extending the wireless range. There is a setting in the Airport configuration to "extend and existing network", however when I choose this option the Airport no longer connects to my existing wireless network and I am beginning to suspect that this fuction only works with another Apple device (Airport Extreme or Express).
    Has anyone been able to extend the range of a third party wireless router / modem with an AirPort Extreme? If so, any advice that you can offer wold be appreciated.
    Regards
    Michael

    Thanks Tesserax,
    Your answer has confirmed my suspicions.
    Option 1 from your suggested solutions is not a goer because the modem and Airport Extreme are in different parts of the house making it impractical to run a cable between the two devices. 
    I did try option 2 and bought a Netgear range extender, which according to Netgear it would work with my D-Link modem - not.
    However I have managed to work around the problem (sort of) by using the Airport Extreme to create a wireless network between my iMac 27 and my Apple TV. The idea is that the iMac will act as a router between ethernet connected ADSL modem and the wirelessly connected Apple TV.
    The good news is that I am now able to play the content from my iTunes library on my Apple TV without interruptions due to a poor wireless connection . Although the connection from the Apple TV to the internet is not working I think this is most likely just a configuration issue and for me it is not really a show stopper.

  • HT4145 How can I use an Airport Extreme to act as a Range Extender for an Alcatel One Touch Y800Z WiFi modem/router? I get a message saying it cannot be extended. Thank you. Arup

    How can I use an Airport Extreme to act as a Range Extender for an Alcatel One Touch Y800Z WiFi modem/router? As we live in a rural area and our landline broadband speeds are awful, I have moved on to a 3G provider in the UK (EE/Orange) and set up the wireless modem which is working very well with an iMac. I have an Airport Extreme base station which was previously connected with an Ethernet cable to the landline router, and two Airport Express stations as Range Extenders. I would now like to use the Airport Extreme and the two Express stations to extend the range of the Alcatel WiFi device. I have tried automatic and manual set up with the Airport Utility but at the crucial step for selecting a network to extend, although the WiFi device is recognised, I get a message saying it cannot be extended.
    Thank you for any help you can provide.
    Arup

    This is a problem with a lot of cheap end wifi hotspot like devices.. sometimes you can just swap the sim out to a real 3G wireless router.. that is a better approach IMHO than wireless repeater ever will be.
    In the meantime..
    Have a go with the suggestion.. place the express as wireless bridge. With a computer connected to the wifi from alcatel unit.. (I am amazed Alcatel still are in domestic market.. I thought they sold out). Set the express to join the wifi.. you do this in the airport utility.. old one is easy.. but in v6 you have to trust to luck so to speak and hope the auto setup works.. tell us if you have trouble.
    With the Express bridging.. you can then plug it by ethernet into the TC.. which will be in router bridge..
    ie
    You can then run the connection from wireless or ethernet on the TC.. and it will relay back to the alcatel for internet.. all a bit dodgy but who knows.. it may give you what you need.
    Wireless repeater is never particularly reliable in my experience. I would avoid it if possible.

  • Can't Connect to Internet using AirPort Extreme Card and DLink Router

    I have tried just about everything, but I can't seem to connect my MAC OS X 10.3.9 to the internet. I am using the Airport Extreme Card and no networks show up. I am trying to connect to my DLink router. I was told by DLink that it is compatible with AirPort Extreme cards, but the guys at Best Buy were unable to connect to their wireless routers, other than their Mac Router. Please let me know if you have a solution! Thanks
