Can the Apple USB Modem be used anywhere in the world?

I'm off (tomorrow!!) to Argentina and would like to use my Macbook to access the Internet via the Apple USB modem - but need to know if I buy one in London that it will work with a telephone socket in Buenos Aires ... or do I wait and buy the local version at the Apple Store in BA (which has opened just in time for my visit!) Any body know the answer to this question?

Too late guyz! Bye!

  • Can the Apple USB charger be used to charge other non-Apple USB devices?

    Can the Apple USB charger be used to charge other non-Apple USB devices?  I just purchased an electric toothbrush that uses a USB port to charge.  If I'm traveling, I would like to consolidate and take only one charger.  Would it be ok to use the apple charger for both items?

    Yes, as long as your toothbrush doesn't require more than 5W power draw.

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

    Just wanted to know if anyone has successfully used the new Apple USB Modem with the Mac mini, is it compatable ????
    Thank you for your input on this.
    Mike D.

    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???

  • TS3988 The Apple ID that I use isn't the one I want my for my iCloud. How do I remove the account that is already logged in without deleting everything from off my iPhone?

    All of the iPhones we have in my house are all connected to the same Apple ID. If I upload all of my stuff to iCloud will it merge with anything anyone else uploads?
    Thanks!

    Yes.  All of the phones that use the same ID for iCloud will be sharing the same iCloud account.  Any data synced with the shared account will be merged and will appear on all devices.  Also, any actions taken on synced data (such as deleting contacts or adding calendar events) will be replicated on all devices sharing the account.
    To keep your data separate, everyone should use a separate iCloud account with a separate ID on their devices.  You can continue to share the same ID for iTuens; it does not need to be the same as the ID you use for iCloud.

  • My iphone 4 is disabled and i forgot the apple id that i used to setup the iphone with

    I have an iphone 4 from verizon. Ive had for little over a year now. i put a password on it and i forgot it and at i first i didnt want to reset my iphone because nothing was backed up but then i decided if i had to reset my iphone then i guess that is whats going to have to be done and then when i tried to reset it it keeps telling me to enter my apple id and password i used to set up the iphone but i forgot my apple id so now i dont know what to do please help me

    You may be able to recover your Apple ID at https://iforgot.apple.com.
    You're going to have to remember the Apple ID. If you can't, the only option you have is to take the phone along with the original proof of purchase to Apple and see if they can help you. They have been known to do so, but ONLY for the original purchaser of the phone with a valid proof of purchase.

  • How do I change the Apple ID that iCloud uses to sync the iPad?

    How do I change an iPad's iCloud Apple ID without deleting that entire iCloud account? When I go to Settings>iCloud on this iPad, the Apple ID email address is not an active field, so I cannot enter the new Apple ID. The iPad is currently syncing successfully using iCloud--but to my husband's account/data. I want to enter the Apple ID that my Mac uses to sync with my Mac. I see "Delete Account" below in the iPad Settings>iCloud, but I don't know what "delete" means here.

    Cancel my question, please. I found the answer: delete the account, enter the new Apple ID and save data to device and merge data, and create a new account.

  • New Mini won't recognize Apple USB modem

    I hate being thick but I can't figure out why my new mini won't recognize the Apple USB modem I just purchased. The network preferences see the built-in Airport card, Bluetooth, Ethernet and Firewire, but I cannot get it to recognize any kind of modem (internal or external).
    I figured it might be an uninstalled component (this is the Mini with built-in Airport) and looked through the OS X installation discs, but no. I can't find any drivers on the Apple site for the modem... has anyone had any success with this?
    Many thanks in advance,
    m.
    Mini / 1.42Ghz/airport   Mac OS X (10.4.2)  

    Doh! Upgrading the system to 10.4.4 did the trick. I guess the right drivers for the USB modem weren't in the earlier version to be recognized.

  • SLS kills Apple USB modem?

    I use an Apple USB modem on my XServe which, among other tasks, manages our call answering service. After upgrading to SL Server, when I boot up I receive a message that the Apple USB Modem is not supported in the architecture. I suppose this is a rare-use scenario, but has anyone else seen this and found a workaround?

    Which Xserve? If it is a 2008 or 2009 model, it is booting Mac OS X Server 10.6 in 64-bit kernel mode and the Apple USB Modem is not supported there. Try booting in 32-bit mode:

  • Cannot send faxes w/ Apple USB modem, can you offer some help please?

    Hi,
    I am using the Apple USB modem connected to my brand new MacBook and so far could not send any faxes. The modem is working because I was able to receive 1 fax (which I sent to myself from my Nokia 9300i).
    The monitor tells me that: dialing... ok, connecting...ok, sending... and then it fails.
    On the other side (my Nokia 9300i) the fax is starting to come in but shortly thereafter it stops.
    I tried Apple Fax (embbedded in the OS) and also PageSender v.4 with the same results.
    Anyone of you can offer any suggestion/help as to why this is happening?
    Thanks

    I have always believed that the answer to this is yes, however, I have never had occasion to test it. In the past when we all used dialup it was either/or, because you couldn't fax with the same modem you were using to connect to an ISP at the same time. But since you are configuring internet through one network and faxing through another, it should work. Maybe someone actually doing it will wade in here.
    Of course, there are a lot of efax services out there now that let you send and receive faxes through the internet.

  • Sleep/wakeup problem discovered - Apple USB modem is the problem.

    Ever since Leopard (every release), I've been having frequent problems with my iMac not being able to wake up from sleep mode. Would not respond to mouse or keyboard. I tracked this down to a problem going to sleep. The machine would appear to go to sleep, but something was still running inside the iMac. A fan?? Disconnecting the Apple USB Modem from the iMac USB port fixed the problem!!! This is an all Apple problem. Apple needs to address compatibility with their modem, which they still sell.

    I would call AppleCare and let them know you are having this problem. It is possible that it simply will be fixed by replacing the modem. If replacing the modem does not solve the problem, then call AppleCare again, and ask them to file a bug report on your behalf and find out why Energy Saver doesn't work with the modem. Many third party USB devices create problems for all USB peripherals if Energy Saver is enabled. Make sure you have you have none connected. If you don't have any connected that strengthens your case with AppleCare. You can always use Screen Saver instead of Energy Saver until the issue is fixed.

  • Faxing with Apple USB Modem (external) - Can you do it?

    I bought the new iMac G5 with built in iSight BUT no built in Modem. Apple offers a USB Modem and it says you can fax BUT one of the posts said they could NOT fax. Has anyone successfully sent and received faxes using the Apple USB Modem preferably from a new iMac?

    The following appeared in yesterday's MacInTouch.com column:
    Chuck Counselman sent a follow-up to his Nov. 16 note about faxing with Apple's new USB external modem:
    I've since solved the problem. Now my Apple USB Modem not only sends and receives faxes; it also dials into Earthlink and makes a PPP connection to the Internet. For others' possible benefit, here is a description of what I did that worked. I don't know how much of what I did was necessary.
    In System Preferences > Network, I defined a new Location (which I named "USB Modem," but the name is not important). In the "Show" pop-up menu, I chose "External Modem." Under the "PPP" tab I entered my Service Provider's name, my Account Name and Password, and primary and alternate telephone numbers for my ISP's modem pools; and I clicked "Apply Now." Under the "TCP/IP" tab, in the "Configure IPv4" menu, I left the default choice "Using PPP" unchanged. Under the "Modem" tab, in the "Modem" menu, I chose "Apple External 56K Modem (v.92)"; I left the other default choices unchanged; and I clicked "Apply Now". Then I closed System Preferences.
    Via the data-modem menu in the OS menu bar, I chose "Connect," and was pleased to hear and see the familiar sounds and sights of a dial-up connection. I surfed the web for a couple of minutes just to test the connection; it was fine.
    In System Preferences > Print & Fax, under the "Faxing" tab I had already entered my fax number and a "Save to" folder name. Now I clicked the "Set Up Fax Modem" button. A day earlier, clicking this button had gotten me an empty "Fax List" window. Now it got me a "Fax List" window containing one entry with the name "External Modem."
    And now the Apple USB Modem answered calls, received faxes, and saved them in the folder I'd designated. Now I could send faxes, too, following the instructions in the OS Help.
    I returned to my original Location, where my Network connection was via Airport, not via the USB modem. Now, in the data-modem menu in the OS Menu Bar, the "Connect" command was grayed out (as expected). However, the USB modem continued to function for faxing.

  • Ext Apple USB Modem - can't send out a fax!?!?

    Hello all,
    I'm having trouble sending a fax using the Apple USB modem. FYI, I did create an IP printer with the address of 127.0.0.1 and chose Generic PostScript Printer as the "print using" setting.
    Specifically, I'm trying to fax a document I scanned into IPhoto. I was figuring I could click to print the doc and then switch to the IP Printer (FAX) and was then expecting a prompt for an outgoing fax number - never got the prompt.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Welcome to the discussions.
    Mail 1.3.11 is the correct version for system 10.3.
    I think the port in your error message refers to the SMTP server port. This setting is in the preferences for Mail. Choose Accounts, Select the account having trouble, and choose Account Information and then Server Settings. Write down the server port, so you can reset it in case changing it doesn't help. If it is not 465, try that. If 465 doesn't work, contact your mail service provider as to the correct setting -- my understanding is that they could choose something different, although most will use 465. Make sure the rest of the information in the SMTP server settings is correct.
    You can upgrade to 10.4 if you wish -- there are pros and cons in doing so.

  • I allways get disconnected when using Apple USB Modem

    Hello!
    I have bought the Apple USB Modem with my MacBook and want to use it for a dail-in connection in the netherlands (kpn). But when I dail in, I allways get disconnected. After dailing in, sometimes I can open a few pages in Firefox, sometimes only one page or not any page at all. Sometimes I can open an IMAP folder with Thunderbird, but most times I get disconnected before. When I establish a SSH connetion, it works a little bit longer, but after some time the connection is terminated too. Most times I have to wait very long (>20 seconds) until a hostname is resolved, sometimes it's quite fast, somtimes resolving fails. Especially when I try to open several websites at the same time I get disconnected very soon.
    Most times I get an error message like "modem unexpectedly disconnected connection".
    Can someone tell me where I can get more information about WHY the connection was disconnected?
    This way I cannot use the Internet, sometimes it takes up to 1 hour to come to a particular web-page (e.g. open a special mail in my web-mail account).
    Best regards
    Andreas

    Thank you! I use 10.4.7, but could not try it yet, but looks promising. Does Apple know about the problem? Will there be a fix in an update soon?
    Thanks again!
    Seems many other people have the same problem, see comments at:

  • Can you prove Apple USB Modem supports Voice calls?

    I'm developing an app using the Apple USB Modem and I haven't been able to find a single application that supports its claimed voice capabilities. Doesn any have a voice file known to be compatible with this modem? All my attempts have resulted in very distorted screeching playback. I came across one other similar experience/opinion on this modem.

    "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.

  • Using Apple USB Modem overseas

    Hi,
    Didn't know where else to post this;
    I have a new MBP and USB Modem that I was setting up for a trip to Europe. Because most European countries don't have a recognizable dial tone, I un-ticked the wait for dial tone option and then attempted to run a test call without plugging in the phone line. Past experience with Windows machines, when this is done the modem will dial, but the MBP/USB modem doesn't.
    When I plug in the phone line, all is OK, the MPB/USB modem dials. I need to know if this modem is going to work for me on the trip.
    Does anyone know what is going on here?

    I've never fiddled with the device, personally, but it's certainly capable of working overseas. You'll note on page 10 of the [Apple USB Modem AT Acommand Manual|http://download.info.apple.com/AppleSupportArea/Manuals/software/USBATCommands.PDF|This is a PDF document] that there's a command that switches the configuration (including variations in dial tone, etc) by country. What buttons you have to push in the appropriate preference pane, to do it, I can't say -- but you can do it manually.
