Apple Internal Modem not working since installing OS X 10.5.6

http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=6979575
Same problem more or less. My mom has a Dual 1Ghz G4 Mirror Door Tower that runs great. However she lives in a very... remote, area so dial-up is her only option. With 10.4 on the machine everything worked fine, modem and all. However, to get her using Time Machine, I upgraded her machine to 10.5.6. Everything runs noticeably faster and all was good... until I tried connecting her to her dial-up connection.
The error is nice and vague:
"A modem error occurred. Please verify your settings and try again."
I've done through and deleted every relevant .plist to the modem I could find, no help. Anyone have any experience with this or even better, find a fix?
Will purchasing an Apple USB modem be a viable workaround? The Apple Store states it only works for a G5 or better but I've found many listings around the web with "Apple USB Modems" that claim G3, G4, and G5 compatibility as a few user testimonials.
Any advice is appreciated!

The answer was "buy a USB Apple Modem".

Apple Internal Modem not working since installing OS X 10.5.2

Folks,
A friend of mine just installed 10.5.2 on his G4 Tower which has an Apple Internal 56k modem.
The modem was working properly under 10.4.11.
Now that he is using 10.5.2 the modem will not dial.
Network (in System Prefs) sees that there is a modem, since it allows him to create an Internal Modem connection, but it will not dial the modem.
Has anyone else seen this issue? Any solutions out there?
Thanks!
Tony

Tony,
The +Intel iMacs+ don't have internal modems so you probably won't get much help around these parts. Try posting over in the PowerMac G4 forums:

Illustrator CS4 not working since installing Yosemite

Since installing Yosemite on my Macbook Pro, my CS4 Adobe Illustrator no longer works. The related files in the applications folder also show as being unavailable. All of the other programmes in the CS4 design suite still run without a problem. Can you please let me know how I can fix this issue. Thanks.

sorry I've not seen this question sooner - I'm here looking of answers to a recent problem with Photoshop CS4 repeatedly crashing in Yosemite - been working fine for months until this week - roll on Serif Affinity Photo!...
However. I'm no illustrator expert but I have Ai CS4 on three Macs, all running Yosemite and Ai apparently working just fine as far as I can see (I'm not a frequent user of Ai so rarely touch the surface of features but it launches, opens Ai files supplied by clients and saves my edit just fine.

I have tried all the suggestions posted on online forms to no avail.

Print spooler not working since installing LinkSys WRT 160N

Since installing my WRT160N my printers have stopped working. All printer drivers have been removed including acrobat and my fax.
Even if I try reinstalling my drivers, I get the following error:
Spooler SubSystem App has encountered a problem and needs to close.
Prior to this error my firewall was giving me constant warnings about Pure Networks Admin assistant application trying to access the same files(i.e. nmctxth.exe). Even though I allowed it still kept popping up.
I am using the online armor firewall on a Windows XP system.
I cannot access the LinkSys Advisor anymore as it will not start.
Thanks

I had the exact same thing happen to me. Installed a WRT 160N on May 10 and have not been able to print since. Wasn't sure it was the router until I dug into the event log. This message appears as a warning during the time I was installing:
Printer Driver Microsoft XPS Document Writer for Windows NT x86 Version-3 was added or updated. Files:- mxdwdrv.dll, unidrvui.dll, mxdwdui.gpd, unidrv.hlp, mxdwdui.dll, mxdwdui.ini, stddtype.gdl, stdnames.gpd, stdschem.gdl, stdschmx.gdl, unidrv.dll, unires.dll, XpsSvcs.dll.
Apparently we tried to print something a couple of days later and this error appears:
DCOM got error "The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion. " attempting to start the service lxcf_device with arguments "" in order to run the server:
{323CE21C-A448-40AA-BA74-7FCF1E44106F}
Any help out there? Windows says I have a spooler dll file missing and also keep getting an error message about "RPC server not available." What should I do?
thanks!

Apple Internal Modem not accesible maybe not present?

Previously functioning internal modem used for faxing not visible as a choice in the print center. Under the Apple Menu, About This Mac, Modems shows "no information found"? Fax-STF shows "communicating" ? What is my problem. Is the internal modem gone or somehow not activated.
Frustrated in NV,
Bill

OK, I looked on the Apple website at the specs for the MacBook Pro, and they do not come with an internal modem, nor is it an option. So I have no idea how you faxed before, but you must be mistaken. Perhaps you did an eFax? To fax, you must use a modem connected to a phone line. Your post is very confusing, to say the least. There is no internal modem for either of these models. I have the external USB modem, which is also what is recommended for the MacBook Pro.

Tecra M7 DVD: CD/DVD RAM drive does not work since installing Vista

I did a clean installation on my Vista Ready new M7. It had XP tablet to begin with and the DVD drive worked fine. Indeed I used it to install Vista (Home Premium).
Now it does not work at all. It spins but does not read. Device Manager tells me device cannot start. Tried to update driver and it told me that it has the most uptodate driver.
Downloaded all the drivers from Tosh download centre for Vista upgrade of M7 (which got bluetooth, screen rotation etc to work fine). But none of the downloads seemed to be a driver for the DVD-Ram drive. Can not find a driver anywhere else (including Panasonic site).
DVD drive is Mat****a DVD-RAM UJ-841s
Any suggestions?

Hi
On the Toshiba driver page you can find the DLA for Tecra m7.
Did you try to install the XP DVD-RAM driver from the Toshiba page on the Vista OS?
Maybe it will works
But listen the CD/DVD drive uses the common Microsoft drivers which are included into Vista or XP.
Therefore an additional driver should be not needed!
One additional proposal;
Remove the CD/DVD drive from the device manager and reboot the notebook.
After new reboot the OS should install the drive again and should renew the software.
Other hint:
- Start the registry
- Choose the registry key;
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
- In the right pane, right-click UpperFilters and LowerFilters then click Delete.
- and restart the notebook

My Norton Identity Safe does not work since installing FF4.0.1

After installing FF4.0.1 my Norton Identity Safe does not work. Also, I have been getting a few pop-up windows which my Norton would normally have blocked. Norton is not showing any issues. FF is set to block Pop ups.

Symantec have made an update for their add-ons to work in Firefox 4, but they only listed them as compatible with Firefox 4.0, they need to update them to let them work in Firefox 4.0.1.

Canon LBP3100B Not working since installing a wireless modem

My Mac will not print to my printer even though the printer appears in the printer list and the print queue shows a job "printing". The printer utility thinks no printer has been installed. The printer doesn't make any noise and nothing happens. I have tried resetting the printers (deleting all printers). I have reinstalled the software and printer several times, but still no joy. Canon have supplied me with a pixma ip4700 in the meantime, and that works fine. They have tried to duplicate my problem (on a Mac using my OS) without success. Can anyone help?
Thanks

I have noticed that although the first time I added the printer there was an icon at the top of the Add Printer window saying "More Printers" this doesn't appear any more.
With the CAPT driver installed, the More Printers button takes some time to appear in the bottom left corner of the Default Add Printer view.
If this More Printers button does not appear after several seconds then something may have gone wrong with the CAPT driver re-installation (assuming you did install the CAPT v3.10 driver after deleting the CAPT folder). In this case I would run the CAPT installer again.
Also I can't add via the More Printers button as when I do that the printer does not appear in the list of printers after I click on the driver that way.
Sorry, but I thought you said that the More Printers button is not appearing? If it is appearing and after you select it and then Canon USB (CUPS CAPT) from the top menu, the LBP3100 should be visible in this view if it is connected via USB to the Mac.
I can add the printer through the Print Using field by choosing Other and finding the PPD on the HD (Library - Printers - Canon - PPD's).However, although the printer then appears in the list, sending a print job doesn't wake up the printer, it just adds to the print queue.
This would be an expected result as you cannot add the CAPT printer using this method.
Also when I look up the Printer Utility under Printer Setup in the Print Queue. It says there are no registered printers and status monitor will be terminated.
Again, if the printer was added by selecting the PPD via the Other menu then the CAPT print monitor will not function correctly. So I suggest you delete this newly created printer queue and select to add the printer again by selecting More Printers when it appears. I just tested how long it takes and it was about 5 seconds before I saw More Printers. Then when I did select it I could see Canon USB (CUPS CAPT) and Canon IP (CUPS CAPT) in the top drop menu.
If you can select Canon USB (CUPS CAPT) at this point but then you don't see the LBP3100B in the bottom window then it may be worth you trying another USB cable.

Credit due: 1tv box not working since install, will not pay for this 3weeks+?

finally had time to try troubleshoot tonight msg states: 'something is not quite right' after rebooting. Before this the msg was 'please give us a moment' last few times i tried over past few weeks I would get this, and no time to deal with having to troubleshoot and call......so could not use this box/tv. also screen would start program display then freeze and no functions worked - could not start it or change channel
other main box works most of time - however it takes up to15 minutes at times to start up! acceptable! also sometimes the Tv just goes blankand have to turn off and on again. - again - should not have to pay for sporadic service,
have received sev'l variation of msgs - now getting 'Please give us a moment' this is ridiculous. I expect to be able to watch wheni turn eqmnt on, instead i have to spend the little time i have on troubleshooting, contacting Comcast, explaining the problem....typing this message..
Please credit me for service since date this eqpt was installed and do not charge me a dime until it is fixed,
thanks

I have spoken to the support team again this afternoon. They have told me it is with 2nd level support (???) and that the issue is different to what it was upon installation (even though what they described was exactly the same!!). The engineer due to visit me is a home engineer who will need to work on the connection in my house. Can anyone confirm that by this they mean someone will come and check the setup of the hub? What else can a home engineer do to resolve? It makes no sense whatsoever... they just seem unwilling to listen to me and follow their on screen instructions. Awful customer service.

Safari 7.1 does not work since installing OS 10.9.5

I installed OS 10.9.5 a couple days ago and since then, Safari 7.1 does not load (I do get the spinning beachball).

Hi ..
Might be a cookies, cache, or extensions issue ..
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
Click: Remove All Website Data
Then delete the cache.
Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that didn't help, troubleshoot Safari extensions.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.
