Att express card, novatel usb adapter, macbook

Hi -
I'm trying to set up an ATT express card (GT3.6 express card) to use with Novatel USB express card adapter for a Macbook. I can get the card to work in the express card slot of my Macbook Pro, but the Macbook (doesn't has an express card slot) is not recognizing the usb adapter. Any suggestions?
Thanks

It appears that the Novatel Express Card Adapter is meant to be used with the Novetel Express Card. I'm not sure that the AT&T Express Card will work with it.
As an alternative, several of the providers now have a USB Modem that needs no adapter. You might look into those.

I'm using a micro sd card inside USB adapter but it won't mount on my Macbook Air 2012

Hi everyone,
Really puzzled at the moment because I just purchased a Kingston 64GB Class 10 Micro SD card and it came with a USB adapter to plug into my mac. The problem is that it won't mount, I just get a pop up saying "The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer." I open up Disk Utilty and I get the following info:
Mount Point : Not mounted
Partition Type : Windows_FAT_32
Capacity : 67.11 GB (67,107,815,424 Bytes)
Everything else is blank. Does anyone know what Windows_FAT_32 is and how I can get my Micro SD card to work on my Mac? Also note that when I plug it into a Windows PC, it loads up fine and my Macbook Air is also running OSX Yosemite Dev Preview 6. Thanks and any help is greatly appreciated

Yes, you will not be signed in to update iCloud content, until you update your Apple ID on both devices. On the iPhone you will need to go into your settings>iCloud then tap your iCloud ID to sign out then sign in with your new Apple ID, on the Macbook you need to go into your system preferences then tap iClould sign out then sign in with your new Apple ID.

Get the Dell EVDO Express Card working on a Macbook Pro - here's how

I found this here:
http://svenontech.com/2006/06/11/get-ev-do-access-on-your-macbook-pro-now-from-v erizon-via-your-xv6700/
On the Mac side, you’ll first need to pair your XV6700 and Mac to each other. You should be able to do this easily, but if you need some help, check out Apple’s site for direct documentation on how to do this. When pairing, select “Other” device from the list, not “Phone”.
Once paired, the last screen will ask if you wish to use the device as a modem and headset. Uncheck headset (unless you wish to use your phone to communicate with others on applications such as Skype.) Now follow these instructions for setting up the modem:
Username: (Your full phone number) [email protected]
Password: vzw
Phone Number: #777
Mode Script: au cdmaOne Bluetooth Adapter
Leave all check boxes checked
Click CONTINUE
Click QUIT
You’re now all set on the Mac side. You’ll now see a phone with a dot slash icon on your menu bar. Select it and choose “Connect”. Remember to have your XV6700 on, Bluetooth enabled, and the WMmodem application running Bluetooth mode with the START button activated. If all this is the case, you’ll be connected in seconds and your modem icon will display a counter next to it once connected. Enjoy the EV-DO!
Can someone verify that this works? I have a Dell Card on order.

David,
Thanks for the response.
Before I read this I went to the apple store and tried some BT file transfers to another Mac and experienced the same results. I then went to the Sony store and tested it on a XP laptop and experienced the same speeds. I am able to achieve twice that rate when doing mac to mac BT transfere. I know my MBP has BT 2.0, but I didn't think my first generation Mini was 2.0.
I am able to sync via USB with Mark/Space's Missingsync, but it doesn't appear that they support DUN. I will email them, to see if they will consider it.
I just bought my 6700, so I still have the choice to return it. I am not sure if I should get another device that currently supports EVDO DUN via USB or suck it up and hope someone makes a usb dun driver for the 6700.
Thanks again.

Express card/Delkin CF adapter/Lexar cards

I purchased a Delkin Express card/compact flash card adapter for convenience when travelling, I am experiencing some problems with the Lexar Professional 2 Gb 133x card in as much it will not mount as a drive, my older cards ( all Lexar 80 x ) mount perfectly, has anyone here experienced any similar problems ?
I have visited the Apple store in Birmingham UK, with no solution offered, I have written to Lexar in America ( I cannot find a Lexar.co.uk site ) I have performed the tests in their Image Rescue program without finding anything major, the checking facility gave the number of bytes verified as 2,051,635,200 with 18 read errors, is 18 read errors a number that would cause this problem mounting the card for downloading
I have formatted the card several times in the Nikon camera but no improvement, any suggestions would be welcomed.?

I finally got in touch with Delkin and they were very helpful.
In the end it seams I have a bad expresscard and they will replace it.

Express cards and 2008/2009 MacBook Pro

Just curious to know if anybody here is using an eSata or any other express cards and do not have any problems at all with it. I understand express cards do not work well on these notebooks.
Message was edited by: Freddie Herbst

On the early 2008 MBP I had I used for 2.5 years and used some kind of card in the ExpressCard slot the whole time. Never a problem.
I used an eSATA 2 port controller for a few months as well, I had an Wintec 48GB SSD ExpressCard. I had a couple of problems with the SSD until a firmware update from Wintec resolved issue.
Some of the commentary you may be thinking about related to this is the speed of the eSATA bus being stepped down to 1.5MB vs it's capable 3.0. It's a topic of technical debate perhaps but has nothing to do with the actual reliability and usefulness of the ExpressCard feature. Actually I sure wish the current model 15" MBP still had ExpressCard.

What PCI card to USB adapter can I use on my Satellite C

Hi
My remaining working USB port has now deceased and I am stuck as I can no longer print (more importantly the kids can't print their homework!!) From the little understanding I have found out that I can either get the mother board replaced (expensive so not an option!) or get a *card adapter with USB ports* on it that goes in the card reader at the front of the laptop??
Does anyone know exactly what I am to buy as it all looks rather complicated to me!!!!
Any help would be greatly appreciated! many thanks, Kerry.

Hi Kerry
Can you please tell us more about your Toshiba notebook?
Which model do you have exactly?
Have you tested functionality of all USB ports?
How old is your notebook?
I mean if the warranty is still valid contact nearest Toshiba service and ask for help?
Do you have new printer with WLAN inside. If yes you can print using WLAN connection.

I need 802.11n PCI card or USB adapter

Hi,
I have a G5 and Apple's AirPort Extreme Card is capped at 802.11g. Is there an alternative? Is the MAXPower 802.11n/g/b Wireless USB 2.0 Stick Adapter & Extension Cradle any good?

USB 3.0 express card for Macbook Pro on Lion?

Does anybody know a USB 3.0 express card that works with Macbook Pro using Lion?
I just got an IOGear express card from Amazon that did NOT make it clear that it was Windows only.
Only after I tried to install it was it painfully obvious it was Windows only.
Thanks

Hey mark327 do you know if i can use this card as well with this driver?

Greetings Jon,
I'm guessing from your description that you were using FaceTime Beta. With the release of the full version of FaceTime for sale in the Mac Appstore, the Beta is no longer available through Apple. If you have backups (which everyone with anything they care about on their computer should) you could restore the App from your backup.
If you don't like using a credit card online you can go buy an App Store gift card in a local store and add credit to your account to purchase it.
Best of luck!

Express card

Does Mountain Lion support the express card slot in the MacBook Pro (late 2008)?

Thanks,
I have checked in OWC and that card does not work on my MacBook Pro (MacBookPro5,1)
Neither the PRAM reset worked
Why a card that worked on previous OSX does not work on Mountain Lion??

[SOLVED] Wireless USB adapter

I just bought a gigabyte aircruiser N300 usb adapter to increase the wireless signal.
But i cant get to work. I tried disabling the onboard wireless card. and used the command hwdetect --show -net, and checked what was new after i plugged in the adapter. it was only rt2800usb. I added that to the module and rebooted, but i still dont see any wlan when i type sudo ifconfig.
What am i doing wrong?

Okey, i get mixed answers here.
I got it to work yesterday. after i did sudo yaourt -S rt2870. but then i disconnected it to check if it really was the usb adapter. and i t was. but after a reboot its gone again.
which logs can i check? i can see the usb adapter with lsusb. but dmesg have ALOT of output and i dont know what to look for.
edit:my newbie guess is that the onboard wlan card and usb adapter is in conflict. and is it possible to have 2 wlan cards active?
edit2: this USB adapter is using RT2870 . is that in the kernel? and why should i use rt2800usb then?RT2870

USB to Express Card adapter/Express Card to Firewire

Macbook Air October 2010.
Comes with two USB 2.0 ports
Can I do the following?
- Connect USB to Express Card adapter
- Connect the Express Card port to a Firewire adapter
- Connect MiniDV camcorder to Firewire port

Also... as they went through the trouble to specifically indicate the compatible cards, I would imagine there are known incompatibilities with other card types. None of the cards they list would have difficulty over USB. Each of these cards already have similar counterparts that are available to connect directly to USB (vs. using an express card). This would seem most useful for people that may already have express cards that they use in other notebooks so they could use them in a machine without an express card slot... otherwise I would imagine people would just get the USB versions of these devices. USB hubs can obviously connect directly to a USB port, memory card readers are also available for connecting directly to a USB port. RS232 is pretty dated and USB can easily handle RS 232 throughput. I'm not exactly sure what a printer card is... but printers generally connect via USB (or parallel in older machines)... again... very easy for USB to handle. In order for it to work with firewire, they would have to have a hardware translator built into it. I'm sure they would list firewire if it was an option.

Firewire Solution? USB To Express Card Adapter Cable + Firewire Expresscard

Has anyone tried this as a possible solution for getting firewire on their macbook 13.3 unibody? In theory it would seem that you could use this USB To Express Card Adapter Cable and plug in a firewire expesscard. Anyone tried it?

R61i USB 3.0, 54mm EXPRESS CARD adapter

Hi there again.
After doing all the possible upgrades on my laptop ThinkPad R61i TYPE 7650-D7G 15.4in,
I have this problem with the Express Card slot.
I've bought this 54mm USB 3.0 express card but when I stick it into the slot it doesn't seem to fit. It just gets into the slot without "locking" anywhere.
So my question is this. Is there something wrong with my card (new buy) or doesn't my laptop accept such a card?
Is it just a CardBus slot? And if so, is there a way (adapter, hardware) to use my USB 3.0 Express Card?
Here's a photo of the card I bought. This cable came with the Express Card. Don't really know what it's for... It seems that one end goes into the slot between the Card's 2 usb slots.

Thanx a lot.
just found this... would this work or won't i get the actual usb 3.0 speed?

Moderator comment: Image(s) >50KB converted to link(s). Community Rules.

To answer the question in your first post, the USB cable that came with the ExpressCard was for power. The other end would have connected to one of your laptop's existing USB ports. You would've used that for certain devices which required more power, in which case you would've only gained 1 USB 3.0 port, not 2
The picture of your laptop (with the "O" on the eject button) means you definitely have a CardBus PC Card slot, not an ExpressCard slot. You won't be able to use that ExpressCard. PC Card, also referred to as PCMCIA card, is an older, slower technology. As you now realize, a 68-pin Cardbus PC card will fit that slot. If your objective is to gain extra USB ports, your best bet is to return that ExpressCard and search for "usb pc card" online. There are PC Cards which provide 2 USB ports or even 4 USB ports. However, you will be limited to USB 2.0 speeds. Yes, you could use a CardBus-to-ExpressCard Adapter but, once again, you will be limited to USB 2.0 speeds. (Also note the one you link to in your first post converts PC Card to ExpressCard/34 only). An even more inexpensive solution may be a "USB port hub."

Express card for MacBook Pro

I have a 15in MacBook Pro (Early 2008). and i have bought an Express Card from ST Lab which i cannot seem to get to work.
When i look in the Systems Report, were does the Express Card show up??
And were is the driver? will it automatically load up?
Thx
John

I just bought the same st-lab USB3.0 expresscard on offer from Maplin, to try in a 17" unibody MBP, 2009 running Snow Leopard.
I downloaded and installed the LaCie USB 3.0 driver, which recognized the card, since it uses the same chipset as Lacie's adapter and LaCie don't seem to have enforced any vendor tie-in (they might have for usb3.0 drives, though, not sure yet).
In System Profiler (About this Mac -> More Info) it shows up under PCI regardless of driver, and, with the LaCie driver installed, it appears also under USB as a "USB Super-Speed Bus".
I haven't tried it with a USB 3.0 drive yet (none to hand) but it runs USB2.0 drives just fine, power issues notwithstanding (it won't supply enough to run e.g. an Iomega 1TB USB2.0 pocket drive - needs a 2-ended USB cable with extra power supplied from one of the Mac's USB ports, or external 5v plugged into its power socket).
I haven't tried it on a Thunderbolt equipped mac (mine is too old for that), but the LaCie driver claims to be Lion compatible.
I also downloaded CalDigit drivers - these are based on open source code so while people report that the driver as-supplied doesn't work with non-CalDigit drives, they do provide source code under the GPL. which one could readily modify to suit other vendors. The also provide a brief PDF doc describing (very vaguely) the process to build the driver from source - this is enough for a reasonably experienced programmer but won't be of any use to the average user. The CalDigit documntation suggests issues with thunderbolt systems, implying that some or other Apple update may have stopped their driver working (this is speculation - when the LaCie driver worked I didn't investigate further.)
All trademarks acknowledged, and it goes without saying that neither Apple, ST-Lab, Lacie nor CalDigit will support any of this in this context.
