Aircard with an iMac

Hi all - am trying to figure out how to set up a new iMac at our country property with limited internet service. Don't want to even have a landline (for dial-up, heaven forbid) and cable is not available so want to use an Aircard over an existing AT&T/Cingular account. Has anyone else had experience connecting and running 10.4.11 or later thru an airport or other mobile modem and a Sierra 595 or similar setup? Wondering what kind of performance to expect and unknown hassles w/ card slots or USB connects, etc. before I start spending money on new gear. thanks - Slarti_O

You can use an AT&T USB aircard to connect. Speed depends on how close to a tower you are and how that tower is configured. If you can use your AT&T phone you can connect with the card. However, you will need to plug it directly into your computer, or if more than 1 computer you will need to use a router designed to handle wireless. Go to <http://www.evdoinfo.com/content/view/2144/40/> for more information on routers, cards etc. I don't work for them, but have bought from them. They have a great forums talking about use with MAC and Win. Their sales and tec. service have been excellent when I contacted them for information and help. In fact, I plan to soon upgrade my router and card through them. Good luck

  • How do I use an iPhone with an iMac and a MacBook Pro?

    I have an iMac, a MacBook Pro and an iPhone 4S. I will be travelling and would like to sync my iPhone with the iMac or MacBook, depending on where I am.  I am on the cloud and manage my music manually. I'd like to be able to sync and download app updates via iTunes. Currently I sync via the iMac, will I lose my music if I attempt to sync the iPhone with the MacBook?
    Thanks (and, yes, I know there is an obvious answer somewhere but I can't find it)

    I was afraid of that. That's why I posted the question before trying to sync and losing everything. Too bad as I just bought a MacBook Pro and would really like to have mirrored devices across the board. Either Appke's technology isn't up to it or they have some obscure secrecy reason to prevent it.

    Launch iTunes on your Mac, plug your phone in, select it in the sidebar, select what you want to sync under the various tabs, hit the sync button. If the sidebar is not visible, go up to the "View" menu & select "Show Sidebar".

    Your answer is likely in Target Display Mode: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) - Apple Support If you are familiar with this document, please re-read it and I suspect you may find something you either missed or are doing incorrectly.

  • My Viewsonic monitor won't work with the Imac using the Mini Port to DVI adapter.

    My Viewsonic monitor won't work with the Imac using the Mini Port to DVI adapter. I also tried the HDMI to DVI adapter ane the Mac-Mini with same result. The monitor does work on my older Macbook Pro that has the DVI connector. Is it a Software/Driver issue ?

    Should be extremely simple, please carefully read Connect multiple displays to your Mac. If you still have problems then it's probably a cable issue that would be resolved by replacing the adapter cable. You should be using this adapter. If you are using a third party adapter that might be your problem!

    So i want to run 3 monitors from my gaming machine and i also want to have my iMac use the 3 monitors aswell. I also want to take advantage of the full, maximum resolution. I would get the thunderbolt cinema display monitors.
    Gaming comupter has 3 display ports so i need to connect each graphics card to one of the monitors. I then need to conect the two cinema displays to the middle iMac.

    You would need the original installation disks or files for the Adobe software to get it onto your iMac, and having it on two computers may not be allowed by your university's licensing. Talk to whoever issued the MacBook.
    As to the music, just copy it over to the MacBook, either via Home Sharing, file sharing, or an external storage medium (hard drive, USB flash drive, etc.).

    Is the music I downloaded from my CD's already in the iCloud or only the music I purchased on itunes?

    Are you wanting to import iCal to the MacBook Air. Since iCloud doesn't work with 10.6 OSX you probably don't have any data in iCloud yet?

  • Need help with my iMac ... it keeps freezing up on me no matter what I do.

    Hello all,
    I need help to figure out why my iMac keeps on freezing up on me. I used to have Norton SystemWorks installed but I recently uninstalled it because I found out it was poison to Mac OS X. I've used Memtest to check the memory in my iMac. The result of the test came up fine.
    You can go to 'Cooling fans for iMac?' (one of my post) to read all of the solutions I have tries out. This post is the original post to try to fix the problem but it FAILED.
    In the last week, I've backed up all of my data to my external hard drive. Then I totally erase my internal hard drive and made sure to zero out the drive. After, I proceeded to install Mac OS 9. I had some problems installing the system at first. I finally installed Mac OS 9 and upgraded it to the latest version of 9. Next, I tried to install Mac OS X 10.3 with difficulty. I then finally installed it. I notice during and after installing the both OSs, my iMac keep on freezing. After I installed Mac OS X 10.3, I updated the OS. And yes, while updating the OS, I've experience the same problem as before. I now have my system back to where it was before I did a fresh install of both Mac OS 9 and X.
    You guest it, my iMac is still freezing up on me no matter what I do. Can someone please help me with this problem? Can he/she tell me what is going on with my iMac and how to fix it? All the help I can get would be appreciated. Thanks for you time and effort.
    P.S. After trying all of the previous suggestions from other users, I came to an conclusion that one of the hardware in my iMac my be failing. I know for curtain it is NOT my memory. It my be something else inside my iMac.

    I've read the thread you linked to above and the only thing I find missing in the saga is any mention of the PRAM battery. If it is depleted (and it would be getting close to depletion if it has never been replaced) it could be causing your problem.
    Do you see any strangeness in the time or date displays? That would be a sure sign that the battery is dying. I haven't run into the problem of a bad battery causing constant freezing but it wouldn't hurt to check it out.
    As far as temperature effects, the usual pattern of overheating would be a shutdown of the whole computer, a designed-in precaution.
    Forgive the battery tutorial if you've already dealt with that possibility.

  • How to get a Canon MP830 on a TC to work again with my iMac?

    I have a Canon MP830 attached to my Time Capsule and it has worked fine for 18 months. My iMac is wired directly via ethernet cable into the TC. (And with the help of this forum I even managed to my XP and Vista PCs to wirelessly print to it).
    Then the MP830 stopped working with my iMac (It works OK connected directly to the iMac). Yet the PCs on the network can still print to it (although it doesn't appear in Bonjour any more).
    On the iMac I reset the print settings but cannot get it to add back the MP830 as a TC connected printer.
    Using the Airport utility I checked that the TC sees the attached printer and it does. It actually shows as 2 printers; the MP830 and MP830 Fax. (Oddly when I change the names of these in the text box they do not stick, I'm sure it used to)
    So the printer works fine and the Time Capsule knows it has a printer attached but my iMac can't "see it" I tried all the things suggested in the forums; combinations of power down/reboot TC, turn off/on printer, mapping using IP address, update printer drivers etc, but no luck. I went wireless on the iMac - that didn't make a difference. I even went back to the previous TC firmware (7.3.2) from latest (7.4.1) to see if that made a difference.
    Any suggestions on things to try next would be welcomed, other than buying a real wireless printer!
    Thanks
    Barry

    I got a bit carried away with my Time Capsule "time of ownership" - It has served me well for 12 months. I still can't get my printer to work though...
