Apple USB modem no longer works with Mountain Lion

Now that I've upgraded my iMac to Mountain Lion my Apple USB modem no longer works. Does anyone know of a software fix or have I just lost my faxing ability with this item and have to buy something else?

That's a very sad situation as the Official statement link above (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3152) states that the modem cannot be used with any Windows. So Apple thinks that people investing in the ability to Fax and relying in Apple's good product only deserves to throw out their modems (because now it is useless on any platform)...

I Installed Lion and now my USB modem will not work to send a PDF fax? Do I need a new USB modem to send faxes or is there a software update that I need?

HP 2311C USB Monitor will not work with Windows 8.1

Just done a clean install of Windows 8.1 on my HP Spectre XT Pro.
The HP2311C monitor is working fine as a USB hub and the built-in Network card but will not detect the monitor as a USB monitor.
This was working when it was a Windows 8 build and previous Windows 7 build.
I have downloaded and installed all the HP drivers and run the HP Support Assistant to make sure everything is up to date.
My two other collegues who have done the same upgrade with the same kit and are also having the problem.
If we plug the HP2311C into a Windows 8 or Windows 7 machine the USB monitor works fine.
Tried several reboots, connections and uninstalls, which have not worked. Also there are no event logs to suggest an anwser.

I am having the same problem with my SPECTRE PRO 13 and Windows 8.1 - most unhappy about it. There is no 8.1 driver for the L2311c and I get no help out of HP as to when there might be one . These items are not cheap in NZ and I feel I have wasted my $$. It works fine on XP!

Apple USB Modem, receiving a fax, and ethernet network

I am wondering whether the Apple USB modem will allow me to configure an intel Imac such that the iMac can be connected to a network via built-in Ethernet (all, other iMacs) and simultaneously receive faxes with a phone line connected to the USB modem. I have looked for this topic and come up empty … any help out there?
Thanks

Thanks for responding.
I am trying to set up receiving faxes for incorporation into medical records. I have purchased an Apple USB modem but have not been able to figure out how to configure the modem to answer the phone (or to show up in fax/print set-up window).
I have a cable modem that is connected to a router for internet connectivity. The rest of the work stations (all iMacs) share our office software via the built-in ethernet configured in Network of System Preferences. Also within preferences, external modem is "configured, but not connected". When I try to use the configure option, I am prompted for information that I don't have or need for connecting to the internet. Clicking the Modem button displays the type of modem and other general info. Applying these settings leaves the modem "configured, but not connected". Under printer-fax set-up, I have everything filled in but when I choose the Set Up Fax Modem button, nothing shows up under Fax List. I have the very same phone line connected to the modem that was connected to my fax machine (and switching it back allows the fax machine to work).
I am running OS X 10.4.9 and have seen some threads regarding faxing issues that may be present in this version. I will try the 10.4.10 update to osee if this solves the problem but would welcome any other suggestions.

Apple USB Modem no longer supported

It appears that the Vista like experience of un-supported hardware continues. Not only does my HP Deskjet F2110 All-in-one no longer work, but my *Apple USB Modem* no longer works either. I doubt it, but is there a work around?

No work around needed. I have the Apple USB Modem working just fine on my system. I even have it plugged into a USB hub (which some claim won't work but it does). I have tried both faxing and internet access. Both work as they always have.
And, by the way, making snarky comments comparing OS X to Vista will not win you any friends or much help here either. Just because you have a problem doesn't mean everybody does.

Apple usb modem & Airport Extreme

Does the external Apple usb modem work with the AirPort Extreme (802.11n)? Has anyone tried this?
I use dial-up internet service and was wondering if the AirPort Extreme can use an Apple usb modem to connect to the internet. Thanks.

The USB port on the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) is only for connecting USB hard/flash drives, printers, or hubs. The USB modem will not work.

Apple USB modem crashes Mac Pro (MacPro3,1) ???

(2) Now, if an Apple USB modem doesn't work, what are my options to send & receive faxes w/ this machine?
TIA, Harald

Yes, this is true. I use a iMac8,1 whit the same symptom. The Modem is used to receive faxes direct to the mac. We use the standart fax software from apple. i can work for days whit out crashes. But then... I wish some one at apple would take care of it...

Can't get Apple USB modem to work in Boot Camp

I've been struggling to get an Internet connection under boot camp/Windows XP for several days. Have an Apple USB modem and installed all the Apple drivers. Apple tech support says they can't help me with Windows (cop out). Both Microsoft and my ISP tech support team have both been great and have spent hours trying to help me. Their final conclusion is that the modem is working fine, but the underlying flaw is the inability of an Apple system to run Windows. In desperation, I've ordered a US Robotics USB modem from the Mac/PC Connection that is both OS X and Windows XP compatible. It is on backorder for 2 weeks
Any help you can give me in the meantime would be greatly appreciated! Glad I kept my old Dell!

"I am confused, QuickDraw. If the poster cannot get online via Windows XP, how does he or she get the drivers?"
I was speaking of the Boot Camp drivers that comes on the Leopard Disc. This could possibly be the answer to your troubles as well if you haven't already installed them yourself. After you've successfully installed Windows via Boot Camp, you need to boot up into Windows, then stick in your Leopard Disc and the drivers are supposed to install automatically. If after you've installed the BC drivers you still cannot get online via your router, then post back.
Hope this helps.
By the way, you really need to start your own thread. That way you'll have a better chance of being assisted from others. Just a suggestion.

Does Apple USB modem (or any USB modem) work with Telix under Boot Camp?

I know, it's one heck of an obscure and specific question. But it just so happens to be critical to whether I try and use an Intel Mac (new, with Leopard, under Boot Camp) as a PC (where a PC would be a lot easier as far as having a built-in 56k modem goes). By Telix I mean the most "recent" version of Telix for Windows. Thanks in advance for the assistance.

It says it works with the Mac mini, but does it really? I just received my modem yesterday and could not get it to work with my 1.42 mini - the more expensive one that comes without a dialup modem! I looked carefully at the specs and it appears the Apple USB modem requires Mac OS 10.4.3, not the 10.4.2 that comes with the Mac mini.
Talk about stupid! And the mini docs say it comes with the "latest" version of Tiger. Not! So I can download the upgrade, I guess. IF I could get on the internet! This is extremely annoying. I guess I'll have to download the upgrade on another computer and transfer it somehow. Boy, those Apple guys sure are tech geniuses, aren't they???

Apple USB Modem driver for Windows 7?

I installed Windows 7 on the boot camp partition. After running Boot Camp software update 3.2, all the windows drivers loaded except for the Apple USB modem. Does boot camp v3.2 support the Apple USB modem in windows 7?

You can find the drivers in the following location.
Disc: Mac OS X Install DVD (The one used for installing Bootcamp)
Folder: \Boot Camp\Drivers
Exe: MotorolaSetup.exe
Modem: Motorola SM56 USB Data Fax Modem
Also, you may need to change the compatibility to "Windows XP (Service Pack 3)" so it will install properly.
Hope this will help.

Does The Apple USB Modem Work With The Mac mini ??????
