Power Mac :: Have A G4 (version=3.3) - Connect It To BT Broadband?
Feb 21, 2012
I bought a Power Mac G4 (version=3.3) second hand from my company. It is running Mac OS 10.2.8 and Microsoft Office X. I wish to connect it to my BT broadband hub. However, it does not appear to have an AirPort card and even if it did I was told that the BT hub mainly works with Microsoft rather than apple products. Can anyone advise me how I can connect and what products I need to buy?
Info:
PowerMac, Mac OS (10.2.x)

I have a G4 in my living room and my old PowerMac 7300 in my bedroom. If I want of use either one to go online I have to disconnect one to connect the other. I cannot connect both at he same time. I use broadband cable from Cable Vision in New York. I was told about a router. Can anyone give me advice on the name of good router and whether on not it will slow down the access speed on the internet?

I currently have Mac OS X 10.3.9 running on a Power Mac G5. I desperately need to get Final Cut Pro 6 installed on this machine, but it won't install unless I upgrade, so I need to know how to upgrade to the highest version I can run on the Power Mac G5. Does Apple have that upgrade online to purchase?

Final Cut Pro 6, Mac OS X (10.5.3)

I have Dual 1.8 GHZ Power PC G5 with 1.5 GB DDR SDRAM, with OSX version 10.4.11.My computer has been getting increasingly crazy over the past couples weeks. I'm even having trouble typing this because the screen occasionally "flashes" or "jumps" when I'm in the middle of a task.I noticed the problem first when I would make a new folder. After an untitled folder was made, when I would try to give the folder a new name, the screen "jumped" and I would have to try several times before I could complete the task.

My powerpc g5 is connected to my home network via ethernet but cannot connect to internet. All PCs on the network can access the internet except the g5. On the "network" in system preferences the status for the ethernet is "connected, ethernet has a self-assigned IP address and may not be able to connect." I've tried re-building the ethernet connection, adding DNS server IP addresses, nothing helps.

I bought it at a garage sale a while back. I rebooted the whole system so I was able to have my own account. AirPort is turned on but is not connected to a network. When I typed in my password when I was putting all my information in on the SetUp screen, it said invalid password. So I tried again.So I skipped that step. I went to system preferences clicked network and that clicked connect and typed my password in again. It said "There was an error joining the AirPort "my network name"." How do I connect it to the internet.
If it helps we have Windstream DSL and a Belking Wireless N+ Router

I have my G5 set up with a harmon kardon speakers and all is fine. From my office there are cables to another room where I can attach speakers. I know that I could have used airport extreme to connect other speakers but can anyone tell me how I can connect the other speakers (via) the cable to my mac. I would like to be able to hear the same music in this room.

well i've had my mac for about 5 months now, its a OS X 10.5.8 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 2 GB 1067MHz DDR3. I have an AX and it has worked flawlessly until about an hour ago. The power in my barracks went out, (im a Marine by the way) and all of a sudden i can't connect. I've tried resetting everything (i.e. the AX, the internet, and my mac) many times and nothing has worked. I've restarted my computer, the light is green on the AX, and my mac says im connected, but i can't get to the internet.

I just got an old iMac G3 Flower Power - 500 MHz , 1 GB of RAM, clean install of Mac OS X 10.3.9 (Panther) and System 9.2.2. It has an AirPort Card Installed. For some reason it won't connect to my Wi-Fi network, : "Error joining this network".I changed the security settings from WAP2-PSK to WEP but that didn't do anything.
- Is there a way to find out if the airport card in the iMac broken and needs to be replaced?
- Could the Airport card be obsolete? If so which one should I get?
- Is there a know wireless USB adapter I could use (USB 1.1)?
- Do I need to upgrade to Tiger (10.4)?

I've reloaded OS9 on my G3 400 iMac, with the intention of bringing it back up to 10.3 after a 7 pass HD clean. Last night I downloaded the firmware upgrade on my current iMac and transferred it via USB flash pen, but it's unable to read it, presumably as it was written with an Intel OS and it appears with a PC icon. I don't know if downloading it via the original iMac would make any difference. However, as it can only has dialup internet access, that's out of the question with my broadband connection.
While I'm at it, I may a well ask, what is the fastest way to get to 10.3 Panther? I've seen another site, but can't locate it again, where it said 9.1 would have to be installed before then installing 10.2 Jaguar. Is this correct?

I have a slow broadband connection with iMac, My wireless router is connected at 4Mbs but my imac only gets download speeds on usually around 0.5Mbs. My daughters laptop running Windows 7 will connect at about 2 Mbs at the same location as the iMac. Is there any thing I can do to improve the speed ? My imac is a 27" c2d with Snow Leopard & using Safari & connected wireless.

I've just received my dongle and having set it up noticed that the internet manager application uses about 20% of my CPU causing my fan to ramp up all the while I'm using the internet.I was just wondering if anyone is having similar issues and knows of a way to make it more efficient.

I received a 27 LED apple/mac monitor --not the 2011/12 version though.I want to use with my work computer--a dell laptop. I can't seem to find the right adaptor to connect the two.I need a dvi port converter that also connects to my vga on my laptop (so need the male end of hte vga since my laptop has the female end).I only found 1 adaptor but it ends with a dvi on a vga. I don't have hdmi on my laptop either--tried that adaptor as well when I couldn't see on the pic when I ordered that it was hdmi not usb). Please help. I have read so many blogs that say it can be done.

What O2 settings I need to enter into my macbook to get my mobile broadband working? The O2 manual doesn't make sense and on the O2 website it says the mac will walk me through it but nothing comes up. I guess I need to enter the settings in manually but I dont know what they are and where to put them.

I've been using 3 (UK) mobile broadband for about the last year now, paired with a Huawei E220 USB dongle. At times this has worked well, but it quite often has unexplainable issues which I'm growing tired of.
I'm wondering what experience others have had with 3G modems for the Mac. Are there any particular modems that worked especially well for you?
Likewise with UK providers - is there anyone in particular you've found to work well? For reference I'm looking at general use in and around London where the 3G coverage is pretty good.
I'm leaning toward the Vodafone USB Modem Stick 'Pro' on a 24 month package for �15 per month. Their network appears to be one of the fastest (7.2mb), Voda's coverage is generally good, and the modem has the bonus of doubling as a USB drive with the addition of a microSD card.

I'm currently on Satellite broadband (unfortunately no other option where I live) and the latency is, as expected, very high. While downloading files is no problem, loading pages like NZHerald and using Google is awful. Generally it takes forever (slower than dial up) and often Google fails to load.
Can someone suggest some third-party software so that I can make this bearable?
I've heard of using software to somehow optimise broadband so that it requests sites differently.

have just gone onto an 18 month contract with tmobile, and it is working fine - speed and connection wise.
Now I have the aluminium macbook (if that makes a difference...) and for some reason, whenever I go onto a webpage, 90% if not all the images dont load.
For example on this forum, the mac rumors: forums logo comes up, but when looking at smilies and stuff in the thread they do not.
They have blue boxes with ? marks in them.
This happens on every website I go onto. I have tried safari and firefox and the same thing happens in both.
I have windows 7 on here aswell that I boot into using boot camp, and it works perfectly fine on there - so its definitly a mac related issue.
The stick I am using is the 530 stick from tmobile.
