CAn I use a USB modem?

I have an imac and an ibook, the imac is not wireless, and runs broadband through a usb modem. is there any way to connect this to the airport for my ibook?
cheers.

If you mean to use OS X's "Internet Sharing" feature to share your iMac's USB port with the iMac's AirPort, I believe the answer is, unfortnately, "no" for two reasons:
- Internet Sharing only works with either the Built-in Ethernet port or AirPort, not the USB port.
- Internet Sharing works by "sharing" a device's ports in one of the following ways:
-- Option#1: DSL/Cable modem > (Ethernet cable) > [Ethernet port] Mac#1 [AirPort] > (wireless) > [AirPort] Mac#2
-- Option#2: Wireless gateway > (wireless) > [AirPort] Mac#1 [Ethernet port] > (Ethernet cable) > [Ethernet port] Mac#2

Can't use my USB modem "HUAWEI model E156G" on my MACBook Pro

I'm new to MAC (I used to be a windows user) and I'm a little bit frustrated for not being able to use my USB modem "Huawie E156G" for connecting my new MacBook Pro!
I followed these steps:
Got the USB modem drivers found on Huawei site that should support my USB modem model. there were 2 drivers, one for "Intel" and another one for "PowerPC" platforms
First, I installed the "Intel" version succesfully. According to the steps, I tried to run the installed driver, but I got the following message:
"you cant open the app HuaweiDataCardApp because PowerPC app are no longer supported".
I repeated the installation procedure using the "PowerPC" version that finished succesfully (without removing the previous installed driver because dont know how to do that). I got the same message when running the driver application:
"you cant open the app HuaweiDataCardApp because PowerPC app are no longer supported".
It would be much appreciated if anyone can help me
Note: my MAC OS is MAC OS X Lion 10.7.2 (11C74), Processor Intel Core I5
Thanks

Cant load half of the FB apps using my usb modem

What would possibly cause a USB modem to cause half of the Facebook apps to no longer to load as of ten days ago.
1) It is NOT my computer.
-I used my laptop under 4 different internet connection and had no problem accessing all my FB apps
2) It is NOT Facebook
-I have no problem using any of the facebook apps when NOT using my usb modem.
3) It's THE usb modem
-I used the same usb modem on my other laptop that has VWAcess Manager and got the same results of not abling to gain access to half of my facebook apps.
4)The current USB Modem I am using is Pantech UM150-AL and been using it for 4 years
I eliminated many many possibiltiies and can only conclude its the USB Modem, but I cant see how the heck it's doing it. Any help on this will be grateful.

Can I use an USB disc with my macbook pro bought in 2005. What capacity will it take 2.00 or 3.00?

can I use an USB disc with my macbook pro bought in 2005. What capacity will it take 2.00 or 3.00?

The first MacBook Pro's were not released until the beginning of 2006, and they had USB 2 ports.
Anything available new in 2005 would have been a PowerBook G4 and they also had USB 2 ports.
A USB 3 disk will just transfer data slower then it could do, if you plug it into a USB 2 port though, so you can buy either.

Can I use a USB camera to import directly live footage into imovie as opposed to firewire?

Hi!
I use iMovie to directly import live footage from my camcorder.
I've been using old Mini DV cameras to do this but this technology is being outdated with camera manufacturers now all moving to USB.
Can I use a USB camera to take live footage directly into iMovie just the same was as i've been doing with the firewire connection via the old Mini DV camcorders.
Alternatively, are there any firewire camera's that any could reccomend?
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Chris.

No, you cannot import in real time from USB. These USB camcorders will import faster than real time or slower than real time, depending on the speed of your computer.
If you need to import in real time, there are some USB webcams out there that are used mainly for video chats and the like that might work. You may find an HD model.You can also do this with your built in iSight camera.
With a real HD video camcorder, you will need to import it after you shoot.

Can I use a USB thumb drive with iPad

Can I use a USB thumb drive with iPad2

What do you want to do with the thumb drive?
If for picture/movie files, You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import.

Can I use a usb external hard drive larger than 2TB? I have tried to use a 3TB but it shows up as 800GB.

Can I use a usb external hard drive larger than 2TB? I have tried to use a 3TB but it shows up as 800GB. Even tred to reformat in disk utility but only shows as 800 gb as well. It is a Seagate 3TB harddrive and enclosure. Nothing on the Seagate site about it other than it says Mac os through 10.6 is supported for larger than 2TB (might be old).

You might have better luck in the Snow Leopard community. I'll ask the hosts to relocate your post.

Sorry - I have no experience or knowledge to give you a direct answer.
The specs for the EC506 show it has a maximum data rate comparable to what a basic DSL broadband connection provides in Europe or North America. If that spec is true under "real world" conditions in Africa, the connection would be pretty good.

Can i use a usb extension

Hi Tamara
I have a question. Is it possible that a standard USB extension cable purchased from ... anywheremart connected to the iPhone dock could cause a kernel panic attack?
To be honest, I hope that is what caused 2 such attacks today. I purchased one of the new Magic Mouses and since my MacPro doesn't have bluetooth I purchased the rocketFish Micro Bluetooth adapter from Best Buy to enable Bluetooth for the mouse. I used it yesterday with not problems, everything was fine. Today, I decided I wanted to move my iPhone dock further away from my computer and well, as we all know that cable is not very long. So, I used an old USB extension cable I found in the closet left over from my PC days.
After running everything with that cable for several hours today, I got a panic attack (well the computer first, then me). The only thing I figured it could be was either the rockfish bluetooth adapter or the usb extension cable. Since a friend has had the rockfish connected to his MacPro for a few days now without any problems, I'm hoping my problem is the cable.
Any thoughts? One other observation. The keyboard extension cable that comes with the MacPro is specially keyed to prevent you from connecting it to the iPhone usb cable, so I'm thinking that maybe any cable that is connected to the iPhone or iPhone doc is specialized.
Thanks
Ron

Can I use a USB 2.0 external HDD as a bootable clone?

Hi all -
That's the question really, apologies if it's been asked numerous time before, I couldn't find a straight answer when I searched. I currently have 2 Firewire externals. One is for Time Machine, the other is a bootable clone. However the bootable clone is too small for my current iMac's internal HDD. Can I use a USB 2.0 instead or does it have to be Firewire? And would it need its own power supply, or could it be USB powered?
Thanks

No prob, Thanks for the star.
Your better off starting a new thread for a new question as it will have a different title and more people may be able to help.
A quick search in amazon brought up this:
http://www.amazon.com/Western-Digital-500GB-Scorpio-Laptop/dp/B001JSSDGU/ref=sr12?ie=UTF8&qid=1232579874&sr=8-2
you will need to get an external case for it. It may need two usb ports or may not, I'm not to sure. It may work at a slower peed with one and max speed with two. A good google search is an excellent way of finding answers.
Regards
