No FAX modems were found

I have a 1.8 GHz PowerPC G5 with an internal modem on which I installed Leopard. Now I can FAX and get the message 'No FAX modems founds'. I have used this machine to FAX with 10.4.11 without any problem. I checked my configuration and the modem shows up, see below. I dumped the fax preferences, no difference. I find nothing about this specific message in the discussions, anyone have any suggestions??
Modem Model: MicroDash
Interface Type: USB
Modulation: V.92
SKU Name: UCJ
Hardware Version: 1.0F
Firmware Version: APPLE VERSION 2.6.7
Driver: InternalUSBModem.kext (v2.6.7)
Country: United States, Latin America

Have you added the FaxPrinter in the Print & Fax Preferences? I believe Tiger would create the fax printer automatically when you initiated a fax job; Leopard does not seem to do this.
Hope this helps.

No modem configurations were found

An icon that looks like a telephone sending messages to aliens in outer space just appeared on my menubar. When I click it, it has two menu items, the second is a link to "Open Network Preferences..." and the first is a disabled item that reads, "No modem configurations were found". I have no idea what I did to invite this unwanted icon onto my menubar. I want it GONE. Anyone know how to get rid of it?

Hold down the Command key as you drag it off the Menu.
Poof. Gone.

Using built in Fax modem to fax out

I'm going start this by saying... Only if Macos X had a proper Chooser like function like classic Mac OS, and that the new Macos X help system is not as good as Apple Guide of Classic (disappointing seeing X was the meant to be the be all end all of all operating systems)...
But anyways, seeing that I have an iMac at work that only boots up in X I have been struggling to get the send/receive faxs from the computer.
I have diagramed the partial setup I have and wish to use the built in Modem that's inside the iMac Flat 17" G4 version to send receive Faxes.
Here is the scenario.
- I have a setup consisting of iMac G4 with X.10
- I have a managed to see outside world via ADSL hookup
- The ADSL line and the Fax line are two different numbers
- Currently Only the Fax is connected directly to the Fax point, I need to also link up the Mac to the same point. Is there a splitter for such a thing?
- I have set up the Fax so I can actually print from the Mac to it
- I have set up the Fax so I can only send/receive faxes from/to the cannon
- I have set up the printer/fax Preferences so to receieve fax that are based on the Fax point # and the the check box is check for allow to receieve faxes
- I have FAXstf installed on my machine, does it conflict with the new System Faxing properties found in X.10?
- I followed the directions presented to me from the Help docos, and the system always told me, 'Fax will be transmitted after disconnecting from Network', and it never did anything.
What are the correct procedures to follow in order to get this thing to work? Images would be nice... Reading docos isn't my thing, they remind me of the online help which MS has in place for all their applications... Web Docs is not as intuitive as guiding a user through the process like Apple Guide used to do. Just a suggestion to the Apple developers out there;/
The diagram setup is:
<pre>
DATA POINT <------------------> ADSL MODEM <--------> TELEPHONE POINT #1
^
|
|
|
v
IMAC <------------------> USB HUB <--------> CANAN 850MP MULTI FUNCTIONAL PRINTER
^
|
v ^
INTERNAL |
MODEM |
^ |
| |
v v
<-------------------------------------> FAX POINT #2
</pre>
hope the above isn't hard to understand.
Cheers

I need the dedicated fax line due to the security system using the phone line, and that the fax should be used for faxing and telephones used for talking, unlike the previous guys comments... POTS means nothing!... People still fax you know, just like they still print... and gee the printer has been around for a little while longer than fax
But anyways... I tried to do the Fax PDF, and thats where it gets stuck... it tries to ring out but no can do. I tried this using a direct link from Mac to Fax point. Seeing that it didn't work I then hooked back the MFM to the fax point in order for the company to receive/send faxes at least from the machine.
The only reason as to my enquiry in the discussion forum is to see if I can set it up so both the MFM (fax) and the imac can send/receieve faxes at the same time or seperately. It would be beneficial to receive and send from the imac, as I'm sure we all know that printing out documents can get lost, especially when you just have one copy, and so this would at least keep an electronic copy of the item. However, during the evenings, it would be ok to have the fax machine recieves faxes or have the fax machine send faxes during the times when the computer can't. The imac is an administrative computer and at times the engineering guys need someting quick, but whats to say that the administration lady can't do it at that point in time... then they need to fax it.
The point is, is there a device which I can hook up so that the 56k fax/modem device in the imac and the MFM (fx) can go through the same point?
thanks

Want a Help page on installing Fax Modem and how to use it.

I have bought the Apple USB fax Modem.
But I have been unable to find instructions on:
1) installing the modem,
2) setting up the modem
3) configuration of software that drives the modem, cover sheets etc.
4) If I need to deactivate my Airport before using it
5) How to connect my cell by Bluetooth or tether to send/receive Faxes
Now I know that you use the print to PDF Fax,
But I have sent several faxes and never found a prompt that says they made it or failed.
Does anyone know where I can find this info??
Thanks
Dunc
I have a MBP 2.4, 4 gigs

1) installing the modem,
Plug it in
2) setting up the modem
If you want to use it for connecting to dial-up you would do this in Network Preferences, where you would enter the number, username and password, but I guess this isn't what you want to do as you have Airport.
3) configuration of software that drives the modem, cover sheets etc.
To send a fax, choose 'Fax PDF' from the Print dialog. You set up the telephone number and whether you want a cover sheet there.
4) If I need to deactivate my Airport before using it
Not to send a fax
5) How to connect my cell by Bluetooth or tether to send/receive Faxes
I'll have to pass on that, I don't have a clever mobile phone. You might like to post it again as a separate question.
But I have sent several faxes and never found a prompt that says they made it or failed.
You don't get any progress report faxing this way.
If you are going to do a lot of faxing you might like to look at PageSender which offers many more features.

Will Apple market a 64bit Fax Modem?

I was about to order a MacBook Pro Crystalwell ... but, it occurred to me to check Fax Modem capability ... it has none! Also, I've come to find out it won't work with most modems as they employ 32bit and Mountain Lion is 64bit architechture. I don't use my machines for business ... but I do have responsibility for my 93 year old mother's affairs as her power of attorny ... and the State Agency that handles Medicaid and her Nursing Home still use ancient fax technology ... and there it nothing I can do about it. They will not PDF ... they use fax machines and that's the end of it. And they require signatures on the fax pages.
I don't want to buy an all in one printer/scanner/fax ... I already have all the working peripherals I need ... I just want a 64bit fax modem that will work with a MacBook Pro. I can't order the MacBook until I know for certain I'll be able to send faxes out .. recieving them would be great ... but, I've been told Apple has no fax/telephony applications anymore.
Help.

I recommend the US Robotics modem, but other brands of full controller USB modems will work too.

The older Apple USB modems were half hardware and half software and are no longer supported, so don't buy one of them.

"No airport networks were found" - setup problem

I'm trying to setup a new airport network with an AEBS. I plugged it in to the outlet and then plugged the cable modem ethernet cable into the AEBS. The light turns green. Then I open Airport Setup Utility and get the following message:
"No airport networks were found"
I then opened the Airport Admin Utility, and it is also unable to see the AEBS.
Any suggestions?

Okay, I updated the firmware to 6.3 and am now able to see the AEBS network. However, I can't connect to the Internet using the network I created in the Admin Utility.
The Network control pane says Aiport is active and connected to the Internet, but I can't get online. I have a Comcast cable high-speed Internet. I'm not exactly sure what my settings should be in Network?

Windows Server push config for fax modem

We have a new Windows 2012 R2 Server, we installed a fax modem on it and turned the fax server feature on. We were hoping to be able to share the fax as a printer
and push through GPO, which being pushed but when the end user attempt to print to it in order to send a fax, a new fax configure wizard shows up....
So we are trying to find if there is a way to push this config to all users without having to configure every individual end user PC which is a nightmare.
The end product should be fax being pushed through GPO, when they print to it, its being processed and sent auto after they type the number they want to fax it to,
that's it.

Hi,
Based on your descriprion, I understand that you want to automatically deploy fax configuration via group policy. I can't find such group policy setting which may help us to achieve this target. On current situation, please refer to following article and
check if can help you.

How I set up an RS232 serial fax modem with Snow Leopard

A few times each year I need to send a fax. I don't have a fax machine.
My Macbook Pro does not have a phone input or built in modem but I have an old RS232 serial fax modem in perfect working order.
I purchased a Pluggable PL2303 USB to RS232 adapter.
Here is how to install a serial fax modem on a Mac running Snow Leopard using this adapter.
1. With the adapter disconnected, Install the Prolific driver for Snow Leopard found at http://plugable.com/drivers/prolific/
2. Plug the adapter into a USB port. You should get a window recognizing it and asking to set it up.
3. If you're not there, go to System Preferences and click on Network. In Network, click on "USB Serial Controller D". You will get a configuration section.
4. In the drop-down under configuration, click on "Add configuration". Name this configuration what you like. I named mine "fax modem".
5. Click on the "Advanced" button near the bottom of the configuration section. You will get a window with 5 tabs, labeled "Modem", "DNS", "WINS", "Proxies", and "PPP". Click on "Modem".
6. Fill in the modem fields "Vendor", "Model" and "Dial Mode" using the field drop downs. I found my Vendor, Zoom, in the drop down list but my model (56K faxmodem) was not in the Model drop down so I guessed and picked "Universal 115K".
I left the defaults - Dial Mode to "Wait for dial tone before dialing", Dialing to Tone and Sound to On, and "Enable error correction and compression in modem" checked.
Click OK. Click Apply. Close System Preferences.
7. Adding the fax to Printers and Faxes in System Preferences cannot be done the usual way, by clicking the + sign. Instead, the fax printer will be installed using the CUPS administrative tools as follows:
Open a browser and type "http://localhost:631/" (without the quotes) into the browser's address field.
This should bring up the CUPS (Common Unix Printing System) page.
8. Click on the "Administration" tab. Under "Printers", click on "Add Printer" and log in to CUPS as your system administrator.
You will get the "Add Printer" screen.
9. Under "Local Printers" select "Fax". Then click "Continue". You will get the URI screen with the word "fax" in the "Connection" field. Fill in the field so it looks like this:
fax://dev/cu.usbserial
Then click "Continue". You will get the name, description and location screen.
10. Fill in the fields as indicated. For name, I used "faxprinter". For Description, I entered "fax modem". For Location I entered "Serial Port". I left "Share this Printer" unchecked. When done, Click Continue. You will get the PPD screen.
11. Ignore the "Make" field. Next to "Or Provide a PPD File", click on "Choose File".
Navigate to boot disk (usually Macintosh HD)/ System / Library / Frameworks / ApplicationServices.framework / Versions / A / Frameworks / PrintCore.framework / Versions / A / Resources / and choose the file "Fax.ppd".
12. Click "Add Printer" and you are done.

Thanks for your detailled description of the faxmodem installation!
I've tried this with Mac OS X v10.8 Mountain Lion and it works fine.
I've to type "cupsctl WebInterface=yes" in terminal to see the interface.
Does anybody know, if send faxes are saved somewhere?

Finding a dial-up FAX modem for iMac Intel Core Duo

I know that Apple has its own modem with USB dongle, but I've also heard that this modem may have some peculiar problems.
How can I find (conveniently) other V.90 or V.92 FAX modems which are supported on the iMac and in OS 10.4.7 Tiger?
Anyone have any comments -- positive or negative -- about any modems -- Apple, US Robotics, Global Village, other?
Thanks
Jerry
P.S. I primarily want the modem to be able to send and receive FAXes with the iMac.

Hello,
I have always preferred US Robotics modems. But, you are going to find your options a bit limited these days.
The problem is that most manufacturers are no-longer producing drivers for the newer Mac OS versions. So, you would need to locate a modem who's driver is already integrated / built-into OS X.
Fortunately, the drivers are provided for a large number of modems out there. But, you won't necessarily get any support from their manufacturer since the drivers in OS X are provided by Apple.
That said, I would personally go with either a US Robotics modem (since that would be a very established standard and the drivers are supplied by Apple in OS X).
But, if you are not comfortable purchasing a modem that does not come with Apple drivers in the box for OS X 10.4.7, then you really should just buy the modem from Apple so that you know it is supported by the current version of OS X.
I hope this helps.

Can't Add Fax Modem

My G5 has an internal modem and using Tiger I could send and receive the occasional Fax.
With Leopard, I try to add the Internal Modem to my list of Printers to use for faxing but get this error message:
client-error-not-authorized
Any ideas?
Matt

It turns out the words "not-authorized" should have been my clue.
I found the process of adding a fax modem to the printer list can only be completed from an account with Administrative privileges.
It's not enough to unlock the preference pane by authenticating with an Administrative password. You actually have to be logged in with an account with Administrative privileges.

I recently installed Maverick as my OS. My external Apple Fax modem no longer works. I receive the message that the fax is offline. I repaired permissions, but still I have lost my fax capability. What needs to be done?

I recently updated to Maverick. My external Apple Fax Modem no longer works. I receive a message that it is not connected. What needs to be done. I have repaired permissions, and found no error.

Chances are it is a software-based modem. Update the drivers of the device to Mavericks-compatible driver from the vendor.

Fax modem on 6680

I changed my 6600 by 6680. I received and sent fax very well with my 6600 as fax modem (connected with PC/PPC). However, I could not do that with my new 6680. I checked and found out that 6680 modem does not support fax while the modem BT driver seems support fax 2.0?
Please kindly help me that 6680 modem support fax or not? By the way, I can not open serial port for 6680.

Eric,
Calling all CUPS gurus
worked and stopped working and works again.
i have a server (CUPS accessed by server:631/faxqueuename) with snow leopard and fax attached - snow leopard machines print to it fine
i have an Air with Lion (CUPS accessed by localhost:631)and when i add network fax printer and print get "no number" thing
so i made a printer on localhost with ip address and Fax.ppd
then I got 2. and now one of them faxes.

Setting up USRobotics USB Fax Modem with 10.8.2

I had an Apple USB Modem that worked fine for years until Mountain Lion
Now, I've purchased a USRobotics USR5637 to replace it.
I installed the fax modem exactly as the Apple device had been installed, but I can't get it to work.
I set up System Preferences/Network for the USB Modem enterring the phone number of my dedicated fax line, click connect . . . the system apparently tries to dial out to its own phone number and (of course) gets a busy signal.
Any suggestions how to set up the USR modem to get it to connect?
With thanks,
Janet

Solution found!
The problem was so simple . . . and so obtuse: my old Apple fax modem refused to work when connected directly to my iMac and would function only from the USB Hub
The new USR Fax modem refuses to work when connected to the USB Hub and functions only when connected directly to my iMac.
But
even though I'd tried both connection options when first installing the USR fax modem I failed to reset the preferences from External USB modem to regular USB modem. Once I made the switch, all was well.
Wow, that was a tricky one!
