Wireless A and older Macs, can it work?

Is there anyway, aftermarket, via USB add on or something else that I can use to modify my iBook G4 to make it work on a Wireless A band network?
Can't find anything about this on the internet. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Mike

Stephen,
That looks great,but the only cards on there are PCI/Cardbus, and my iBook only takes a USB adapter. The website says they won't support USB based cards. Any other suggestions on how I can get it to work with an iBook?

I have a new mac book pro and and older MAC desktop. Both are backing up to my time capsule but it is close to full (1TB). If I purchase a new time capsule (2TB) can I bridge them or access both and back up to it still from both computers?

If you add another Time Capsule, you can have one or both Macs backup to that new device.
However, please note that it is not possible to have backups "carry over" seamlessly from one Time Capsule to another.
If you add a new Time Capsule, each Mac that is backing up to the new device will make a new complete backup and then backup incrementally after the master backup is completed.

Applying AirPort-/Wireless connectivity to older Macs

If you ask yourself how to make older machines able to connect to WiFi-Networks there is a quite simple solution, sparing you to mess with internal cards, usb-adapters and other stuff that costs a lot of money and does not really result in fast connections.
surprisingly, the most simple and most effective way to add wireless connectivity to older macs is to buy an airport express station. Configure it as an extension to an existing network and connect it via ethernet cable to the "old" computer. i costs less than any internal card, you have a much faster connection and you don't need to mess with 3rd party drivers. I tried this on old G4 and G5 Macs and it worked brilliant.
i hope this is helpful to you

This will work with non-Airport capable G3 iMacs too

Is there a way that iTunes can act as a Radio Alarm Clock? I have found the radio station I enjoy listening to in the iTunes Radio List. Is there anyway iTunes (and my Mac) can be set to come-on and start playing that Radio Station from Sleep mode at spec

I have found the radio station I enjoy listening to in the iTunes Radio List. Is there anyway iTunes (and my Mac) can be set to come-on from Sleep mode and start playing that Radio Station at specific times of the day?
Any App or plug-in that does that?
Many thanks

Turning your Mac into a clock radio.
1. In iTunes create a playlist that contains just the radio station you want to wake up to.
2. Export the playlist (as .m3u works well). Get Info on your playlist file and look at the Open With entry to make sure it points to iTunes, VLC or some other app that will stream your station.
3. In iCal create an event entry at the time you want to wake up.
4. Right (or Control) click on your wakeup event and select Get Info.
5. For "alarm" select Open File.
6. Now under Open File there will be a place to add the file to open. It will probably be some default entry (like iCal). Click on it will allow you to select "other." Then use the file dialog to select your playlist file.
Your Mac will wake you up at the appointed time. You don't need to keep iCal running. If you want to put you Mac to sleep for the night then there is one more thing you need to do. Open System Preferences to Energy Saver and click on the Schedule button. Check Start up or wake and set the wake up time to slightly before your iCal alarm time.

I'm going to assume that since you deleted your hard drive and all its files, you had a backup, yes? If the backup has an OS (bootable clone), then you can boot into it by holding down the option key when you start up you iMac and choose the backup drive. Then use Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper to copy the files back to your iMac.

I am having trouble on older mac book pro working in Preview its like being on old PC

I am having trouble on older mac book pro working in Preview.
Why is Preview bad on older machines?

Have you reset the SMC?
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord.
Wait fifteen seconds.
Attach the computer's power cord.
Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer.
While you're at it, resetting the PRAM won't hurt anything and 'might' help is SMC reset didn't work (PRAM does some port control):
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
Something else you might try .... you don't say how you're updating to 10.6.8, however, if you're using Software Update, you might try downloading the 10.6.8 combo update, which contains all updates to 10.6. Sometimes, Software Update doesn't work quite right, and installing the combo update fixes that. Download the update from Apple's download site at http://support.apple.com/downloads/ , using Disk Utility repair permissions, apply the combo update, then repair permissions again.

Does anyone know the YAHOO authentication method and port? I recently installed the new OSX 10.8.2 software and my mac mail wont work.

Hello,
I have no idea what you're talking about, however my Mail stopped working when I
had to add a new e-mail address for my Hotmail account.
My new Hotmail address works, and seems to get e-mail from the old e-mail address,
which from I've read behaves as a "default" address for the old address.
Apple Mail is linked to my Hotmail account of the old e-mail address.
I no longer know my old password.
Apple Mail will not accept my new password for ny new Hotmail account.
Can someone help me solve this problem WITOUT COMPLICATED SOLUTION!
As I said I have no idea what a port, or SSL or authentication is!
If you do answer,please answer in vert simple steps that are easy to follow, and donlt make matters worse.
Thanks,
SB

Obsolete and batch users can receive work items

Dear Experts,
Currently, we have found a problem that obsolete and batch users can receive work items by manual forwarding from someone. The roles and responsibilities of obsolete users were removed and users have been locked. For Batchuser, it's only created for some certain job with limited roles.
Could you help advise if this's a behavior of workflow or it's from some authorization problem? We have concern for business impact since no one is really handling work items and important messages are out of sight.
Thank you very much in advance.
Regards, Kae

Hello,
This is standard behaviour. It is even possible to send work items to users who do not yet exist (e.g. someone who is due to join the company).
The easiest way to workaround is to set up a substitution for any users that get locked and for background users. Personal substitutes can be maintained directly in table HRUS_D2, you could possibly write your own maintenance transaction for this if it is to be an ongoing issue.
Hope that helps,
Mike

TS3274 the sleep and wake button can not work

Now my sleep and wake button can not work. When I press it either long press or short press. no response at all.
, then I long press the home button to restart the ipad. It appears the apple logo, but after a while, the screen just a flash, and then restart again, and the apple logo appears again. It never restart properly until I plug in the USB cable with it to connect it with PC.
What is wrong with my iPad, pls help, much appreciated!
-Will

I can't understand you.
1. What sleep/wake button are u talking about? You mean the power button? Sleep/wake is a function, not a button, which works for covers that supports it.
2.You press home button to RESTART ipad?? what home button? the one at the bottom of the screen or at the top?

I have just replaced my mac mini because previous motherboard was damaged. I want to pair with my existing wireless keyboard and mouse but can only pair with thebold mac mini which will not start. Any ideas?

See title. How do I unpair a wireless keyboard and mouse when the previous paired mac mini is damaged and will not start?

You should be able to go to System Preferences -> Keyboard and System Preferences -> Mouse and discover the bluetooth devices.
Also, do you have a bluetooth icon on the top bar of your mac? Should look sort of like this:
If you can figure out which device is which (by trial and error, if nothing else), you can connect to them on this menu.

How do I wireless on my older mac mini

I recently purchased an older Mac Mini and it does not have wireless, is there anything I can buy to make it wifi compatible? I can use ethernet to connect to my internet service, I want to be able to use wireless keyboard and mouse.

There are USB Bluetooth adapters, but I wouldn't count on any of them to work reliably.

Good wireless cards for older Mac Pros

I have a Mac Pro Dual-Core Intel Xeon 2.66 GHz at work that we are trying to get online wirelessly. A couple of months ago, we bought a Hawking Hi-Gain Wireless-N USB Adaptor, which was working fine until a recent update was performed. Since then, the computer crashes almost immediately if the wireless adaptor is plugged in, but runs fine when it is taken out. I am curious if anyone else has run into a similar problem when using a wireless adaptor. I also wanted to know if anyone had a recommendation for a different, reliable wireless card for an older Mac Pro.
Thanks in advance.

I have almost the exact same situation.
Same system, a d-link wua 1340 usb wireless adaptor.
Worked fine for several weeks or so until i updated to snow leopard.
Now frequent system crashes, grey screen and the box that tells me to use the power button to shut down.
I tried going back to 10.5 and still the same problem.

27 LED monitor and older Mac Pro compatability

Will the new monitor work with older Mac Pro's?

Why does the Apple store list the ATI Radeon HD 4870 Graphics Upgrade Kit for Mac Pro as only the Early 2008 & Early 2009 models?
Only Apple knows, but the comments section, and many posts here, show it works in any Mac Pro/
I'd like to use the new 27" LED with my original 2006 Mac Pro 1,1. I currently have the NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT.
You can use it with the dual-link DVI port (only one port is dual-link) on the NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT with a converter
<http://www.atlona.com/Atlona-Dual-Link-DVI-to-Mini-DisplayPort-Converter-USB-Po wered.html>
The ATI Radeon HD 5770 Graphics Upgrade Kit says it's only compatible with the Mid 2010 version.
There are reports that it also will work in any Mac Pro.
<http://blog.macsales.com/6856-owc-reveals-which-radeon-video-cards-work-with-20 06-2009-mac-pros>
OWC says the Mini DisplayPorts didn't work, but that doesn't appear to be true:
<http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=12165151#12165151>
For three DVI displays, you need dual-link adapters

AirPort Time Capsule and older Mac?

I got an Airport Time Capsule as a gift. It will not connect with my older MAC with an operating sytem of 10.5.8. Is it the operating sytem or is it the TW cable high speed connect that needs adjusting or is this even a possibility to ever run? Need to know for possible return of equipment.

You need to use the airport utility v6 which requires at least Lion OS.
Or you can use the airport utility in latest iOS.
What modem is your TW cable using? Is it a full router with wireless?
I also tried to connect through my iphone, which has the latest software update and it wiped out the wi-fi on the phone.
When you try and setup the TC it will need to change to the wireless on the TC..
You need to have an ethernet cable from the TW modem to the WAN port of the TC.
And you then put the TC into bridge mode.. of late Apple seem to be trying to force the TC to take over as the main router which can be problem.

Any way to video chat between Messages and older Mac via iChat?

I upgraded to Mountain Lion yesterday and am beginning to regret it - I discovered that I will no longer be able to help my parents troubleshoot their MacBook as they have an older MacBook with Leopard 10.5.8, and their MacBook is not upgradeable to Mountain Lion given its heritage (too old). Prior to my upgrade to Mountain Lion, when they needed help we would both launch iChat and I would ask to take control of their screen. Their account setup on iChat was through an AOL AIM username.
I looked into whether I could still launch a video sharing session with them using Messages from my end and they using iChat from their end (still with their AOL AIM username) but can find no evidence that that will work.
I am hoping that someone has figured out how to make all this work. I researched FaceTime and it doesn't appear that it supports video chatting/screen sharing.
My last ditch option will be to see if I can gain access to their machine via internet remote access - but I'd rather steer clear of that.
Anybody know how to make this work - video chat and remote screen control between my Mac running Mountain Lion 10.8.2 and remote Mac running Leopard 10.5.8?

Apologies if this is what you linked to... I cannot open the link on my office PC.
Have you tried the ReelPortal app? This should be able to cover both of your needs: it allows video chat between Playbook and PC, and essentially broadcasts the video chat to a site. (I have not attempted to capture the broadcast). It's not the prettiest app out there, but does what you're looking for.
