View 1 RepliesI would like to upgrade my 17" Powerbook G4 to wireless n, but I'd like to upgrade the internal airport extreme card instead of using a PC Card adapter.
Are there any options for this?Will this airport extreme card from early model MBPs work?
my specs:
17" pwrbk Hi-res
1.67 G4
late 2005 model: Powerbook 5,9
How certain are we that (physical?) interference between the airport card/wifi and the graphics card can be cured with a download, and not actual hardware fix/repair? I mean, I know technology is advancing rapidly, but I'm not sure I can believe that a download can solve the issue that the 4850s are experiencing.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI bought my Mac Pro as a refurb from Apple, but it didn't come with the wireless card built in. This didn't bother me because at my old apartment my computer was near the router so I just wired it up by ethernet. I just moved into a new place and my computer isn't within router distance and I don't want to run a bunch of cable. My boss gave me a card to plug into Apple wifi card spot and OSX found the card and showed some airport info, but it didn't find any networks and if I run the Airport Utility it says it can't find an airport card. So I assume it's not compatible. What are my options? Oh yeah, I found this on ebay. Sound reliable? [URL:....]

What is the best and cheapest way to get an airport extreme card? I do not want to do it myself. I just want to know the cheapest and fastest way, because I don't want to spend to much time away from my baby.
View 15 Replies View RelatedI've been looking at different websites (macsales.com, apple.com), and I don't know which airport card will work for my Mac Pro. I have the first release of the Mac Pro:

Can any of you offer suggestions on which card will work? I'd probably prefer the OEM version, but if you recommend different ones, I'll be happy to consider them.
I have a g4 dual 1.25 ghz with airport extreme card in it. I recently bought a powermac g5 dual 2.3ghz. I tried to swap the airport card into the g5, but when I did that, the computer did not want to scan and pick up any networks. Is this because I need an extra antenna? Moreover, when I put the airport card back into the g4, the computer no longer see's it. I know its firmly plugged in. What I would like to do is have the g5 use the airport card, but help on how to get the g4 to recognize it again would also be helpful.

Have a powermac g5 tower w/o an airport card. It looks like it is a hassle to put in a airport card. I have free wireless in a new apartment and want to access it. Is there a cheaper way than getting a card placed and having the "board replaced" as well. Help line said it would cost several hundred dollars to upgrade this machine!
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've recently got a refurbished Mac Pro from Apple, and once I'd set my system up and tried to connect to the internet, I soon learnt that there was no Airport Card installed, so I'm unable to get a wireless internet connection.
Having looked in the Apple Store online, I can't see any internal cards, just base stations. I looked up the Airport Extreme Card, which I thought would solve my problem, but from what I could see that is only compatible with older Macs.
How do you unplug the wire that goes to the front of the card? The wire is attached to a metal plug that swivels around and plugs into the airport card. I tried tugging on it, but it seems like it is bolted on there.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI would like to install an internal airport card in my Mac pro (2008) as I didn't order the wireless BTO option and the USB adapter I tried instead didn't satisfy me. When I asked for the card at an apple reseller they said to me that this upgrade would cost a lot of money because they haven't only to order the card but they have to install the antennas as well. I went home and checked the interiors of my machine and saw three antenna cables (labeled with 1,2,3) which seem ready to be connected to an airport card. So I don't know if I have to believe this antenna thing. Are the antennas already preinstalled in every Mac Pro or do I really have to bring the whole computer to the store?

Is "N" available? Is it hard to install? Why was it an option to begin with when they were new?

Currently have a number of portable phones that causes problems (disconnects the Time Capsule) when I have the Airport card set to 2.4ghz---Tried 4 or 5 different addresses but no effect. Changed to 5 ghz seems no interference from the portable phones but I noticed thru Istat that the temperature of the Airport Card goes up over 60c(seen it as high as 64c) from general 55c or 56c. I know that this is normal but I am looking for some kind of general explanation why the temperature difference.
View 1 Replies View RelatedYea so, right this second, its about 75C according to istat pro. It usually gets this hot when I skype video chat, but right now all I am doing is ichat and safari. 75C is a lot, but is it too hot? It's burning my lap.

I just got a new MacPro (running Leopard) and I'm trying to get Windows XP to work via Bootcamp.
I used the Bootcamp Assistant to create the partition, then install XP, and then from XP install the various drivers from the Leopard Install CD. But XP doesn't think there is a wireless card in the Mac, which makes me think it is a driver issue.
My eMac is now wired up to my home network, and i was wondering will the Apple Airport card fit my G5?
Any ideas?

View 5 Replies View Relatedi have a late 2007 macbook which came with pre-installed airport software. it was all fine and dandy up until this week when i got ethernet for my modem so my computer was connecting to the internet that way. i turned off the airport since there was no need and i have no service in the area.
however, around this time the ethernet cable was jammed and i had to tug really hard for about five minutes to dislodge it from the computer. the connection works just fine so that's not the issue.
i tried to turn back on the airport but it wouldn't. so i rebooted, installed all the updates from mac and then the options, even from the system preferences menu, said that there was no airport card installed.
what could be the issue? could the card have been dislodged? would i have to reseat it or did the updates mess with something?
