Connecting to dial-up from Lion

In the near future, a house move will require me to abandon broadband and to connect through dial-up for several weeks. I notice that the Apple USB modem may no longer be used in Lion, and my local Apple service provider tells me that they have no third-party equivalents, as nobody uses dial-up any more. Even so, this is the only possibility offered by my ISP, and it usually takes at least a month to move connections. Any suggestions?

One of the "More Like This" posts pointed me towards the suggestions in http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-20092787-263/apple-usb-modem-not-working-in -lion-but-others-will/ . Question answered.

Can't connect to Leopard MPB from Lion

I have another Mac PowerBook on my home network that is running Leopard and my other MPB is running Lion. Today I've tried to access the Snow Leopard machine via sharing (SMB) and while the other laptop shows up when I browse to it, clicking on "Connect As" just yields a "Connecting" message and spinning wheel. It never connects. I am able to access the Drop Box folder in the Share folder, but nothing else. Nor does screen sharing work. I've tried some of the other hints that I've found (e.g., making sure the AFP sharing is turned off), but nothing has worked. Is this a bug?

Hope this helps with resolving the problem: It appears to have something to do with my main account on my Lion machine (Administrator privileges), as I am able to access the other MacBook Pro when I try from another account (that doesn't have admin privileges). Very odd.

Has anyone else noticed that: "The OS X Lion v10.7.3 Update includes Safari 5.1.3 and fixes that: Resolve a Wi-Fi connection issue when waking from sleep" didn't work?

I installed OS X Lion v10.7.3 because of the following claim.
The OS X Lion v10.7.3 Update includes Safari 5.1.3 and fixes that:
Resolve a Wi-Fi connection issue when waking from sleep
It continues to be a real pain having to reconnect to the network each time I wake my MacBook Air from sleep.
Does anyone have a suggestion for the resolution to this problem?

It seems the update fixed old problems for some and caused new problems for others. Sorry to hear you're in the latter group.
Here are some things to try.
1. Go to System Preferences > Network, and click the gear icon under the network interfaces like so:
Whatever service order you have set, drag Wi-Fi either to the top (assuming it's not already there) or someplace else in the list. Click OK and then Apply. Sleep the system then wake it again to observe any changes.
2. Click Wi-Fi in the above then click Advanced. Select all the networks your computer has ever joined and delete them with the "-" button. OK then Apply again. Select your network under the AirPort icon to re-join it. Sleep and wake again to see if that did anything.
3. Try creating a new, temporary user account. Log in under that account to see if its behavior is any different.
You may have done all of these already but perhaps there is something you have not thought of. If nothing helps we may just have to wait a bit longer for Apple to release a fix.

HT4759 Before upgrading to OSX Mountain Lion from Lion, my mail and iCloud connections were fine. Now, the connection is almost non-existent (iCloud "connecting" forever,mail icon jumps). My network is good. Any solutions?

Does anyone know how to eliminate the "jumping mail icon" that stems from iCloud not connecting correctly? I just upgraded to Mountain Lion from Lion and before, everything was fine, but now the synch between iCloud and mail seems to be out of whack and the "connection doctor" doesn't help and nothing seems to get rid of the problem.

When I wake my iMac from sleep, the wireless does not connect. I have to shut shutdown and then restart and then it connects. I am running Lion 10.7.3 Any thoughts?

Been waiting along time for this problem to be fixed. Unfortunately the update hasn't help at all and even made the situation worse. Now my airplay connection from iMac to stereo abruptly stops after about 10-15 min. so I have to go over and quit wifi, start it up and find my airport network. Not sure why it always has a problem with the apple airport network. My neighbor's pc network is always there.

I lost connection between Ipod and Macbook Pro Notes when I changed OS from Lion to Mountain Lion.

I changed OS X from Lion to Mountain Lion and:
New Mail application has no Notes.
A new Notes application is available.
In my Ipod I am was using Note application that normally was sincronized with Mail Note application. How can do a similar job?
Devices involved:
MacBook Pro 13-inch, Mid 2010.
Ipod Touch, software version 4.2.1

try this:
open disk utility and verify your disk permissions - if errors are found repair them....
then go to system preferences - network - advanced - look for the dns tab and enter the dns you see on the image below. after you've done that, restart your macbook and see if your internet pages loads faster.
good luck.

At a Genius Bar appointment yesterday, we determined that I needed to go to Mountain Lion from Lion. I purchased Mountain Lion at the Bar, and paused the install so that I could resume from home. Now I can't find it to resume. Not in Downloads. ?????

When I upgraded to Lion, my Parallels stopped working and I got a Bootcamp error message. It had worked fine for the prior year. I upgraded to Parallels 7. No luck. At the Genius Bar, the Genius uninstalled Bootcamp. No luck. I still get "The Boot Camp partition /dev/diskOs4 used by Hard Drive 1 is missing."
Another Genius suggested upgrading to Mountain Lion. While at the Bar, I purchased Mountain Lion and then we paused the install so that I could resume it at home. Once I got home, I can't find the Mountain Lion installer to resume. It's not in the Downloads file. Any clue?
My business programs all run on Windows, so I have to get it operating. The Genius Bar isn't much help. Does anyone know how to get Mountain Lion installed? How to get Parallels working?

The "Geniuses" (and I use that word in sarcasm) at the Bar are lying to you. Upgrading from Lion to Mt Lion will not fix whatever problems you are having. In fact it will most likely make them worse.
If you want to try installing Mt Lion to fix the problems you are having you will need to open the Mac App Store link in your Dock, Login to your Apple ID account for the MAS and go to your Purchases area. Mt Lion should be in there and you will be able to do a proper download. Once you either set your Mac into sleep or shut down and then left the internet connection at the Bar all record of that download was lost. So you will need to restart it again from the beginning, like described above.
Good Luck

Hi i upgrade from lion to mountain lion to day on my mini mac,Since the upgrade i am getting no sound through my HDMI cable which was working fine on lion Checked the midi audio settings and system preferences to out on HDMi nothing no sound whats so ever

Hi i upgraded from lion to mountain lion to day on my mini mac,Since the upgrade i am no longer getting sound through my HDMI cable which was working fine on lion Checked the midi audio settings and system preferences to out on HDMi nothing no sound whats so ever.Any one any ideas?
I use a samsung TV for my monitor via HDMI.Tried all the system Audi setting nothing .Head phone and internal speakers are fine.

Similar issue; Audio was working fine on Lion, now not on Mountain Lion. Have a Macbook Pro early 2011 with AMD Radeon HD 6750M, connected by thunderbolt through a Lacie LBD to a mini-displayport to HDMI adapter (n.b. same problem when not going through the LBD) to a Pioneer VSX 521 AV receiver. For me when I go into audio Midi settings all the volume sliders for the displayport device are greyed out and at zero. But when I click 'configure speakers', it's able to send out the test signals to each speaker. Part of the problem could be that I'm not getting the option to put out 6channel sound, only 2 or 8 channel. Since my system is Dolby 5.1, and I only have 6 speakers, I would have expected the 6ch option to be available. But I imagine there's more to it than that. Elsewhere someone has suggested playing with Remote Interactive over HD on an Onkyo device; I'll see if there's something similar on the Pioneer that can be changed. Any other suggestions welcome.

Connecting via dial up connection

On a cisco router that has an aux port can be set up with a dial up connection as a backup. But, my question is how is this set up? for example, Do I plug in a land line to the router, setup the router aux port, and then dial in from anywhere? Or, is it the same as explained previously, but instead of plugin in a land line to the router I need a modem such as the Multi Tech MultiModem ZDX V.92 Voice/Data/Fax Modem? so it will be connected phone to modem and modem to router?
Thank you.
Alex

Alex
You would connect phone line to modem and connect modem to aux port.

How to create bootable USB thumb drive from Lion on Mac Mini 2011?

Hello folks
Yesterday my new Mac Mini (Core i7 2,7 Ghz, 4 GB RAM, ATI Radeon HD6630M 256 MB) arrived. It replaces my old Mac Mini (Core Duo 1,83 Ghz, 2 GB RAM, Intel GMA950 64 MB). One day I'll replace the 500 GB 5400 RPM HDD in this Mini by an Intel SSD drive (just like I did with my previous Mini). I'll do a fully clean install then (formatting the SSD drive in Disk Utility and then installing Lion on it from a bootable USB thumb drive). The only problem is I can't seem to download Lion for free from the Mac AppStore (MAS) although I have bought a new Mac Mini which came with Lion pre-installed. I know how to create a bootable USB thumb drive with Lion on it when you download it from the MAS. But that's the problem... I can't seem to download Lion from the MAS for free. When I open the MAS while holding down the Option key I can download Lion but it will charge me for it. Is there any way I can download Lion from the MAS without paying for it? Since it already came with my new Mac Mini 2011 this should be possible I guess?
And will I still be able to download the iLife '11 apps (iPhoto, iMovie and Garageband) for FREE that came with my new Mac Mini when I do a fully clean install as described above? Thanks in advance.
Greetings
Jocau

After doing some research, it seems that there are only 2 WAYS to do a complete reinstall of Lion on the Mac Mini 2011 without paying for the Lion download in the Mac AppStore (i.e. recreating every partition, also the Recovery HD partition, from scratch e.g. when installing Lion on a clean HDD/SSD).
1) COMPLETELY clone the Mac Mini 2011 HDD including all of its partitions to an external drive and restore it when you want to do a complete reinstall.
2) Use the LION INTERNET RECOVERY feature built-in into new Macs that ship with Lion (this feature is present in new Macs starting from the Mac Mini 2011 and Macbook Air 2011).
OS X Lion: About Lion Recovery
Lion Internet Recovery
If you happen to encounter a situation in which you cannot start from the Recovery HD, such as your hard drive stopped responding or you installed a new hard drive without Mac OS X installed, new Mac models introduced after public availability of OS X Lion automatically use the Lion Internet Recovery feature if the Recovery HD (Command-R method above) doesn't work. Lion Internet Recovery lets you start your Mac directly from Apple's Servers. The system runs a quick test of your memory and hard drive to ensure there are no hardware issues.
Lion Internet Recovery presents a limited interface at first, with only the ability to select your preferred Wi-Fi network and, if needed, enter the WPA passphrase. Next, Lion Internet Recovery will download and start from a Recovery HD image. From there, you are offered all the same utilities and functions described above.
As with the Recovery HD, reinstallation of OS X Lion from Lion Internet Recovery requires an Internet connection. See "Supported network configurations and protocols" below.
Restoring iLife applications after Internet Restore of OS X Lion
If you reinstall Lion on a new Mac that shipped with OS X Lion installed, on an erased or replaced hard drive, you can download iPhoto, iMovie, and GarageBand from the Mac App Store.
After installation, start from Lion.
Double-click the App Store icon in the dock.
Enter your Apple ID and password.
Click Purchases.
If you haven't previously accepted your bundled iLife applications within the Mac App Store, you should see your iLife applications appear in the Accept portion of the screen. Click Accept.
You may be asked for your Apple ID and password once again. Your iLife applications now move to the Purchased section. These applications are part of the software that came with your Lion based computer. Your account will not be charged for them. Click Install to compete installation of your applications.
Source: Lion Recovery
It's a bit sad that these seem to be the only 2 options. Lion Internet Recovery is the preferred one here since my monthly internet traffic limit isn't a problem (but my download speed is). This problem could have been easily solved by Apple by just checking the system specs or serial number when trying to download Lion from the Mac AppStore. By using one of the 2 options in my previous sentence the Mac AppStore could see that I have a new Mac Mini 2011 that ships with Lion which would give me the option to download Lion from the Mac AppStore for free and eventually create a bootable USB thumb drive of it.

Printing from Lion to Xp shared printer

Under Snow Leopard, I could easily print to printers shared by computers running Windows. This is on my simple home LAN with a Windows workgroup.
After upgrading to Lion, this capability seems lost...or changed...or broken.
I have done a lot of googling, and lots of folks seem to have this problem, but I have found no consistent solution.
I have tried removing printer entires from Key Chain, removing and reinstalling the printer (on both the Mac side and the Windows side), removing special characters from my Windows password, reseting the Mac printing system, and combinations of these approaches and nothing works.
Anyone have anything else to suggest? Any "guaranteed" solutions?
I see a couple failure modes...usually Lion reprots the print job has been sent, but nothing actually gets printed, and Lion never reports the job completed. Other times Lion shows the pinter as "paused".
Thanks,
Mark

Rather than use SMB to connect from Lion to the Windows XP printer share, a better method is to enable Print Services for UNIX on Windows XP and then use LPD on the Mac to print via the Windows share.
To install Print Services for UNIX on Windows XP:
Log on to the Windows server with an administrative-level account.
Start the Add/Remove Programs tool in Control Panel.
Click Add/Remove Windows Components.
Click Other Network File and Print Services, and then click Details.
Click to select the Print Services for UNIX check box, and then click OK.
Follow the instructions on the screen to finish the installation
If you haven't done so already, share the printer on Windows XP and make the name one word - no spaces or special characters
With the print services enabled you can then create the printer queue on Lion.
Open Print & Scan and click + to add a printer
Select the IP icon and set the protocol to Line Printer Daemon - LPD
For the Address, enter the IP address of the Windows XP computer
For the Queue name, enter the share name set for the printer in Windows XP
Name and Location are free text so you can set this to something meaningful
For the Print Using menu, select the supporting printer driver. Note that like connections via SMB, the vendors driver for Lion in some cases cannot be used and an alternate like those offered by the Gutenprint suite must be used.
Click the OK button to complete the queue creation.
Now you are ready to test the new print queue.

How to - Dial ext from AA, xfer to overhead page, play recording; then DirCallPark

I have a customer who is replacing a Toshiba system with UCM-BE / Unity Connection. Toshiba has the following functionality:
External caller dials extension from AA, a pre-recorded annoucement is played on the overhead paging system, then caller is parked at a specific extension.
Is there a way to duplicate this with Unity Connection (7.1.3)? No problem transferring to a Directed Call Park number, but what about the additional step of dialing the paging DN and playing a recording?

If I follow your scenario, this is not possible with CUCM/CUC. You may be able to do something like this with UCCX but that may be a little overkill.

Bill

Can't connect any printer to Mountain Lion!

Hi,
I have some problems connecting and using my HP1006 printer with my new Macbook Pro. I've bought it a month ago, it is 15' MacBookPro with retina, Lion 10.7 was preinstaled on it. My HP worked with my mac like a charm. Lately I upgraded to Mountain Lion and after that I can not connetct my printer at all! MB simply can not see and even detect it. . I've already checked my cabel with another computer - it works. My usb are also ok, my camera and flash cards detects perfectly.
I've tried everything:
- I instaled new drivers from apple, (from 8 August) but this didnt help.
- I renewed disk permissions
- I even tried to connect another new printer from the store.
Please advise how can I solve this problem
Thank you

In certain cases, automatic discovery does not work. In this case you will need to type in the IP address of the printer. You can get this information in the "Print Configuration" menu on the front panel. 1) Apple Symbol/System Preferences/Printers and Scanners2) Click "+" symbol (Add)3) Choose "IP"4) Type in ip address, Protocol: HP Jetdirect - Socket5) Fill in the name and location per your preference. 6) The "Use:" field should be filled in with the correct choice. If not, use the "Select Software" setting and choose "Laserjet 4000 Series" Eric

I'm having problems with my internet connection after installing OS X Lion. Is this a known problem or just a local problem?

I'm having problems with my internet connection after installing OS X Lion. Is this a known problem or just a local problem?
After +/- 10 to 15min my connection is gone.
Does anyone have a sollution?

Lots of people are having the same problem, you're not the only one, belieeeeve me.
Just Googling the problem gets you tons of people complaining about the same thing, SOMETHING is up with Lion what wasn't happening with Snow Leopard. i just bought a new Imac and it CAME with Lion, so i started experiencing this internet dropout immediately.
It's been going on for the most of a year it looks like (at least by the dates from the threads i've been reading)
So your best bet is to fiddle with the System Preferences and read what other people have used to make theirs work. i'm doing that myself right now. I already posted a similar thread last night trying to figure out why my connection kept on dropping, i got a reply which linked me to a site. i followed the instructions there, so far so good, but i'm just being cautiously optimistic.
i'm gonna call Apple today and see if they've found anything, though seeing as this is a problem right out of the box there may not be an immediate solution. Good luck hunting for a solution :3
