Wireless compatibility with G3

hi there,
I have just upgraded my apple G3 from 9.0.4 to 9.1. i have cable broadband attached to my desktop and i am using DLink wireless router to connect wirelessly through my MAC. i am using Cisco Aironet 5Ghz Wireless Adapter for MAc (i hope its compatible). can some one please tell me how do i configure my MAC so i can use wireless internet through my wireless router?
thank you
sunny

donny - since I haven't had any luck with my ethernet port, I've been looking into wireless usb adapters. I'm hoping the Asus wl-167g takes the place of the dlink 122's. Asus has drivers for osx 10.3 and 10.4 on their site as well. (http://support.asus.com/download/download.aspx?SLanguage=en-us&model=WL-167g)
found this article on silvermac.com discussing the wl-167g
http://www.silvermac.com/2006/asus-wl-167g-on-mac-os-x/
Think I'll be ordering one soon, after a little more research. If it works, it'll be a great deal for $30 shipped.

Knocked out wireless compatibility with network printers?

I'm having this same issue with my 2008 MacBook running 10.7.5. Reading some other forums, it seems as if Lion knocked out wireless compatibility with network printers...
I have rebooted my machine, uninstalled and reinstalled all my drivers and continue to have this issue while not having the same issue with my Dell (work issued) laptop. First time a PC has ever performed better than my Mac.

I still have questions about how to connect the Brother printer through ethernet. When connected does the airport utility have some area where you can identify the printer as a network printer as opposed to USB?
The AirPort Utility would only come into play if the printer was attached to the TC's USB port. Printers, attached by Ethernet, would have to "network-ready." Controlling these types of printers would be through the printer driver that you would access through the operating system interface.
In my HP example, the HP printer driver does provide access to a number of features particular to this printer model. Most manufacturers include an installation CD that provide useful utilities ... albeit most are written for Windows. I would suggest checking out the Brother support site to see if they have Mac-specific drivers or utilities.

Issues with macbook and wireless compatibility with netgear router

my macbook wireless is extremely spotty with my netgear router at home.
the connection is sometimes very good, but other times, extremely unreliable.
the wireless connection to the router is perfect, 4 bars. and it is actually within 10ft of the router itself.
i use my macbook constantly at my college student center, and the connection to the network and internet is perfect...
is there any way to fix my internet connection in regards to the netgear router?? (all other PC + PC labtops are perfect with it. its just my macbook that has issues)

I have to agree with you.
I have a Netgear Cable Router, my iPhone & my wifes iPhone, my Vista PC & my older Vista Laptop connect with out a problem and are rock solid to boot.
My new MacBook Aluminium seems to be very tempremental at best. Dont get me wrong, i love my new macbook but i am a little unhappy that this is happening. Looking at others on this forum, it seems to be across the board so will happily await a firmware/driver update from apple.
With any luck, this should be resolved shortly.

Samsung CLX-3175 printer (not wireless) compatability with

I have a Samsung CLX-3175 printer (not wireless)Am i right in understanding that if i connect an airport extreme to it, that it will become a wireless printer? any issues i should know about this before buying an air port? thanks all

You might want to check with Samsung support to verify if your model will work at the USB port of the AirPort Extreme. If it does, then you will be able to print from your computer using the wireless connection.
There is a good chance that the printer will work because it does appear on Apple's list of compatible models:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669#HP
Important Note......If your printer is an All-in-One type device, only the print function will work when the printer is connected to the AriPort Extreme. Copy, Scan, Maintenance, etc will not be supported. You will need to connect the All-in-One directly to your computer for those features to be available.
If you are asking about printing from an iPad, even if your printer is supported, you will likely not be able to print from the iPad unless you install an App like Print Central on the iPad.

Graphite compatibility with new wireless printers

I have been using a graphite AirPort for years and years with no complaints. Now I am finally getting around to shopping for a wireless printer to have in the house, so that my partner and I can print without competing for the USB cord. I am wondering, though, whether a new printer will work o.k. with the graphite, or will I have to buy a newer model of AirPort. (The last time I asked a graphite compatibility question to an AppleStore saleseperson, I got a wrong answer. So I'm going to the discussion board instead for this one!)
Thanking anyone in advance for any comments,
Jorge Bravo
P.S. In case it matters, my computer is an iBook G4 running 10.5.4, my partner's is a PowerBook G4 with 10.4.11.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
The Graphite produces a plain-vanilla 802.11b wireless network. It uses 40-bit WEP encryption. Check the system requirements of the wireless printers you are interested in; they are likely to be compatible.
Different manufacturers can use different routines to convert arbitrary-length wireless network passwords to the 40 bits used for WEP, so a device might appear to be incompatible for this reason. The easiest way around this is to use exactly 5 characters in your wireless network password.
The most unusual feature of the Graphite, these days, is that it has only a single Ethernet port, used for both WAN and LAN connections. If you need to connect the printer via Ethernet to the Graphite in order to set it up, you probably ought to disconnect the Graphite from your DSL or cable modem, even if you normally use an Ethernet hub, if the Graphite is distributing IP addresses. (This is to avoid a DHCP conflict.) If the printer needs to be connected simultaneously to the Internet and the Graphite while being set up via Ethernet (which I doubt), you'd need an Ethernet hub, and in order to prevent a DHCP conflict if the Graphite is distributing IP addresses, it would be best to set the printer's IP address manually, to an address of the form 10.0.1.x where x is in the 200's.
I haven't used wireless printers with my own Graphite, but I do connect wirelessly through the Graphite to Ethernet printers, without problems. (I have another router in my network, between the DSL modem and the wired devices, and my Graphite is set not to distribute IP addresses, so there are no DHCP conflicts.)

Lenovo Wireless Headset W770 compatibility with Linux and Mac

Hi,
Can someone provide me information on Lenovo Wireless Headset W770 compatibility with Linux and Mac distributions. On the product overview page under Software Requirements, only Windows is mentioned. http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?submit=true&componentID=1343112653906&DocID=PD...
Please let me know if the headset can work with other distributions as well.
Thanks & Regards,
Keya
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I just received W770 and tried it on a PC and it worked. But when I plug the USB receiver in a macbook air (2011 MAC OS 10.6.8), it didn't work. The message I got is that MAC can't recognize the "keyboard" and asked me to press the shift button on the unrecognized keyboard- which I guess meant that the MAC treated the USB dongle as if it were a wireless keyboard of some sort. Anyway, would appreciate it if you could let me know how to make it work on MAC. The previous statement saying that it would work on any Lenovo machine regardless of OS is kinda of unclear - do you mean that it would also work on lenovo running MAC OS (is there any Lenovo running Mac OS?). Thanks.

Itunes 9.1 not compatable with XP?

Tried to download 9.1 and keep getting error message that says: The software you are installing has not passed Windows Logo testing to verify its compatibility with Windows XP. Continuing installation of this software may impair or destabilize operation of your system either immediately or in the future.
I have reboot computer several times, etc. Have never had a problem with any updates to itunes or iphone till now.
Thoughts?

Itunes 9.1 is definitely NOT compatible with Windows XP at this time. The culprit appears to be the Bonjour services package. I recently attempted to install via 3 methods: through Apple Update, via direct download over wireless and via direct download over wired connection. The result was the same in all three instances: when attempting to start itunes 9.1, it would immediately crash with a message "Itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close...". Upon checking the application event viewer (control panel > performance & maintenance > administrative tools > event viewer) I was able to determine that the itunes crashes were due to Bonjour in all but one instance. Bottom line: steer clear of itunes 9.1 until Apple gets their comparability issues corrected.

Wireless Printing with a linksys wireless print server

I am new to Mac and I am trying to install my printer Via wireless, I am totally lost I can't even get my printer model into the printer list, I know this is a vague question but any help would be appreciated.

The Linksys print servers do not claim compatibility with Macs, so you may have some difficulty with this. You may find the discussion in this thread helpful:

SATA11 is it compatable with all controller cards

I want to add 500gb HD's to my G4 Giga and know I need a SATA controller card, I am considering this one card pic is this card compatable with SATA11 hard drives?

Thanks Japamac, can I go through this deadhead style...
You can install as many OS's as you want. When you
set your Startup Disk Preferences, you are able to
select the OS that you want, as well as the disk that
you want.
Does this mean I have to make a partion thing on the same disk for each (even the same) OS?
Do I use the original install disks to do this?
Another way to select startup disk/OS, is to boot
while holding the Option key. This will open the
Startup Manager, and allow you to select which and
where you want to boot from.
This is the screen I remember from my Apple Care Plan Help Desk days
It is a good idea to have a second (and third)
bootable disk in your system.
Is the third disk on a partion thing ( I have researched this and have found, using "disk utility" I can make "partitions", if I understand correctly, my machine will "see" a partition as a separate disk, am I miles off?
That way, heaven
forbid, should one disk have trouble booting, you can
use the Startup Manager to select an alternate disk,
and then diagnose and repair the ailing disk from
there.
Do I use "disk utility" from another partition disk to do this?
This is, actually, a very important thing to
have in your system. by all means, install the OS on
the other disk.
A partition on the 120gb, how big should the partition be?
Remember, to keep both disks backed up. So, don't
give up on your external drives all together. They
are VERY useful.
This is where you are going to hate me... I dont have any externals or back ups.... this is why I am trying to work out what to do... I back up my photo's to DVD when I have enough, its not good practice because it can take a months worth before I have time to physically go through all the work to decide what I will archive to DVD, I would love for all of the work to automatically copy itself to a safe place.
While we are on the subject, a very good way to
backup, is to use Super Duper. This is a clone
utility. SD will copy bit for bit, your drive, and
then make that backup bootable. This is a very nice
feature. Also, after that, you can use the Smart
Update feature, which updates any changes of a volume
to it's clone. This way, you always have an exact
copy of your system and data. Invaluable!
This is obviously what I need... I will download it and try to understand its functions
I like OWC, myself. Even with shipping and tariffs to
Japan, it is most often cheaper to do so. Also, the
company is very reputable, has great service (try
their live chat) and stands behind what they sell.
OWC also has lots of install tutorial video (and
PDF's) in their support section. Check it
out.
I have trusted OWC since you recommended them for my processor upgrade and have just ordered the SATA controller from them and am going to get a 500gb internal HD for now until I can learn to rationalise my disk space... at the moment my files are just copies of themselves on the same disk (120gb)
Hey Japamac... I have to say thank you to you sir, you have obviously put a lot of time and effort into your reply and I really do appreciate it...

Mac wireless connectivity with DLNA-equipped Full Hi-Definition TVs

Dear Friends at Apple,
I have been an avid Apple Macintosh user/advocate since 1985.
Can anyone help me I establish what is Apple proposing to do with regard to DLNA (Digital Living Network compatibility with our Intel Mac OS X 10.x.x computers?
Background from <dlna.org> website ..
"About DLNA:
The Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) is a global collaboration of 245 of your most trusted brands, all working together to help you create the home entertainment environment you’ve always imagined."
So DLNA Wireless Connectivity is being adopted now by the majority of leading Full High Definition LED-LCD and Plasma TV manufacturers.
However, I am unable to locate any information that would suggest that Apple is taking any steps to ensure wireless connectivity between my Intel MacBook Pros, Airport Extreme router and Samsung Series 9 DLNA-equipped large screen LCD-LED TVs.
DLNA as a protocol has been established since 2003. In that time, these international corporations have joined the DLNA consortium:
http://www.dlna.org/about_us/roster/
Where is Apple?
Surely, given the Microsoft domination of the DLNA consortium, Apple faces complete exclusion from the wireless Loungeroom Entertainment DLNA environment.
As with "Rosetta", a Mac Airport Extreme/DLNA tranlation capability should be capable of development, in order to protect Apple users who do NOT wish to ever load MS Windows on our Macs. (I happen to be one of these Apple purists!)
I would be extremely grateful if anyone could advise me on:
1. Apple's plans for connecting to DLNA-equipped TVs and PVRs
2. The likely timing for availability of the Apple solution?
Thank you in advance,
Rob Moffatt
<edited by host>

This isn't the place to ask a technical question. You should take that up in the forum appropriate for your model of Mac.
But answering quickly, there are DLNA-compatible media server software packages available for Mac. Whether any of those would be what you are looking for I don't know. You can look here for a list, or search the web for something like "DLNA Mac".
Whether Apple has any plans for their own software no one here can or will say.

I have an iMac with 10.4.11 and a Mac Air 10.6.7. Will the Extreme be compatable with the 10.4.11?

I have an iMac with 10.4.11 and a Mac Air 10.6.7. Will the Extreme be compatable with the 10.4.11?

10.4.11 Macs will have Kernel Panics when trying to use Dual Band Airport Extreme Base Station. There are a few forums here dealing with it. I just purchased an Airport Extreme Base Station and spent two days now figuring out why the old iMac G5 running 10.4.11 (Tiger) was Kernel Panicing. There is a way that I am testing now that seems to be working. I will post the link in a minute when I find it. Other solution is to upgrade to 10.5 .
Here is the post
Aug 22, 2010 2:09 PM (in response to Acin)
Greetings... I have just found a resolution to this problem, at lease if you're using one of the newer Dual Band Airport Extreme base stations. This fix was provided by an AppleCare representative named Rebecca, and I am deeply in her debt. To review: MY PROBLEM - After installing a new Dual Band Airport Extreme in July 2010, I began to have frequent kernel panics with my older laptops running Tiger (10.4.11). My newer Intel/Leopard MacBook Pro ran fine with the new base station, but these older Power PC Macs with Tiger just crashed again and again. Pulling the Airport Card was the only fix. I tried every conceivable software and network fix; nothing helped. THE SOLUTION - The AppleCare rep talked me through this, but I'm pretty sure this was the procedure. Please note that I cannot guarantee that I have not forgotten a step! But I am fairly sure this is it. (If an Apple specialist is reading, please check this!) Keep in mind, this will only work if you have a dual-band Airport base station. I performed this on a Mac Pro running OS 10.6.4, with Airport Utility version 5.5.1 and firmware 7.5. 1. Launch Airport Utility.
2. With the dual-band base station selected, click Manual Setup.
3. Click the Wireless tab.
4. Click the "Wireless Network Options" button near the bottom.
5. Check the box that says "5 GHz Network," then enter a new network name in the Name field. (Your existing network name appears there now. Just delete it and type a new one.)
6. Click Done. That dialogue will close.
7. Now click Update. The Airport base station will now take about a minute to reboot. Here's what happens when you perform these steps... The utility changes your existing Airport network to 2.5 Ghz, and then creates a new 5 Ghz network with the new name. (It will apply the same password to both.) You will use the 5 Ghz network, the new name, for any new wireless computers using Leopard or newer OS. You will use the 2.5 Ghz network (bearing the original network name) for the older laptops running Tiger. This fix worked immediately, no problems. The issue is that Tiger does not perform well with 5 Ghz networks, and this causes the kernel panics. I now have two old G4 laptops running Tiger, both using my new Airport base station with the 2.5 Ghz network and running perfectly. At the same time, my new machine is using the 5 Ghz network at the same time. It seems quite stable. Good luck, and I hope this info is useful.

Possible to use non-AT&T wireless card with iPad??

Thinking of getting an iPad, however I travel frequently and after looking at the outlandish prices for international data plans, I am about ready to give up on the idea. Anyone know if it is possible to use a non-AT&T wireless card with the iPad? I'm guessing there would be a compatibility issue of some sort.

The 3G iPad is not locked to a particular service provider. You can get a local Sim card and data plan in many countries. This article will give you some idea of what's available: http://gigaom.com/2010/05/10/ipad-data-plan-guide/

HT201172 How do you pair Apples wireless keyboard with iPad3

iPad3 is suppose to be compatable with the Apple Wireless keyboard.

Will airport express be compatable with windows vista

will airport express be compatable with windows vista

vista will not be compatable because I do not have the capability in vista to download AirPort Utility 5.6.1 for Windows, which is a requirement for the ethernet connection to the Airport Express. Is that correct?
No, sorry for the confusion.
You would need 5.6.1 on the PC only if you intend to use that to initially setup and configure the Express. I understand that you will be using the Mac to setup the Express, correct?
5.6.1 is not needed if all the Vista machine will be doing is connecting using Ethernet or wireless to the network. You don't have to install anything on the Vista machine if all it will be doing is connecting to the Express.
