Can a Mac Update disable a USB mobile broadband device?

Hi all,
Last night, my Clear internet went down on me, both home WiFi modem and plug-in USB mobile broaband device. One minute I was on the net and the next, not. After wasting 2 hours with Clear customer service, I gave up and started Googling and found some lovely folks here on Apple Support communities that suggested uninstalling Intego Virus Barrier X6. Well that worked to get my home WiFie modem up and running. But my MacBookPro (10.5.8) doesn't still see the USB device plugged in. It's not my USB port, as other devices work fine plugged into the same port.
I called Clear customer service back and they suggested that there is some phantom Mac Update that has disabled my USB device. I know they're bs-ing me. I think the device is broken. But I thought I"d see if any other Mac people have had a problems with a mobile Broadband device in connection with either Virus Barrier or Mac updates? I've googled lots of search terms and can find no one else with this complaint

No.
It is possible for the Mac (or another computer) to update the firmware of a device, but you would know if you did that. Likewise it is possible for the Mac to be unable to detect the device through its own fault - such as the Mac's USB ports or wifi failing. But the Mac's updates are only for the Apple hardware and software. Also, updates take effect immediately. Were you installing an update when your connection went down?
I think their tech support people are trying to get you off the line. If such a thing happened people would be reporting it all over the place, not just here. Ask them to point you to some reports. Ask which update did it.
Best of luck.

Certificates in lieu of Oracle connection Manager for our Applets -- Help!!

I support an application named IDEA out of New York. The IDEA application is an INTRANET application for use within our company Firewall.
Currently, the IDEA application's front end resides on a Windows 2000 Server running IIS 5 and JRun 3.0. The back-end runs on Oracle 8.1.7 database on a UNIX Database Hosting Utility (DHU). Our applets communicate with the back-end database using Oracle Connection Manager that is installed on the Web Host.
We are trying to migrate to the DWeb environment (Linux cluster). The linux cluster is running Apache Tomcat. We have been told that installing Oracle connection manager is not a viable solution (our company does not support it). Because of this our applets cannot communicate with our database. Below is a brief description of this limitation and also the work-around.
====================================================================================================================================================
Connecting to the Database through the Applet
The most common task of an applet using the JDBC driver is to connect to and query a database. Because of applet security restrictions, unless particular steps are taken an applet can open TCP/IP sockets only to the host from which it was downloaded (this is the host on which the Web server is running). This means that without these steps, your applet can connect only to a database that is running on the same host as the Web server.
If your database and Web server are running on the same host, then there is no issue and no special steps are required. You can connect to the database as you would from an application.
As with connecting from an application, there are two ways in which you can specify the connection information to the driver. You can provide it in the form of host:port:sid or in the form of a TNS keyword-value syntax.
For example, if the database to which you want to connect resides on host prodHost, at port 1521, and SID ORCL, and you want to connect with user name scott with password tiger, then use either of the two following connect strings:
using host:port:sid syntax:
String connString="jdbc:oracle:thin:@prodHost:1521:ORCL";
conn = DriverManager.getConnection(connString, "scott", "tiger");
using TNS keyword-value syntax:
String connString = "jdbc:oracle:thin:@(description=(address_list=
(address=(protocol=tcp)(port=1521)(host=prodHost)))
(connect_data=(sid=ORCL)))";
conn = DriverManager.getConnection(connString, "scott", "tiger");
If you use the TNS keyword-value pair to specify the connection information to the JDBC Thin driver, then you must declare the protocol as TCP.
However, a Web server and an Oracle database server both require many resources; you seldom find both servers running on the same machine. Usually, your applet connects to a database on a host other than the one on which the Web server runs. There are two possible ways in which you can work around the security restriction:
You can connect to the database by using the Oracle8 Connection Manager.
or:
You can use a signed applet to connect to the database directly.
These options are discussed in the next section, "Connecting to a Database on a Different Host Than the Web Server".
Connecting to a Database on a Different Host Than the Web Server
If you are connecting to a database on a host other than the one on which the Web server is running, then you must overcome applet security restrictions. You can do this by using either the Oracle8 Connection Manager or signed applets. ====================================================================================================================================================
It was suggested that we implement signed applets (it is our only alternative at this time). This is where, hopefully, you can help me. We are unfamiliar with using certificates and signing applets. We need to obtain certificates that will allow our applets to connect to our oracle database on the DHU. What kind of certificates do we use? Are their coding examples of how to use these certificates? We have a CA within our company but they cannot tell us what kind of certificates we need. How many certificates do we need? Do we install any certificates on the backend database server? Any information would be greatly appreciated. We are basically trying to get our applet to work outside the sandbox by establishing a connection to the database server.Thanks in advance for your time.

If you want to connect to the database from the applet there is a third option.
Since this is an intranet application you have control over the desktops using this
application. In our company the jre ignores signed applets (as it should) because
it gives control to the user to run potentially harmfull applets from the Internet.
The way to dish out special privileges to applets is the policy, put a policy file on
you intranet and have the jre use it by specifying its URL in the java.security.
Here is some more info about security configuration of the jre:

We use Oracle jinitiator to run Oracle forms but I am not involved in that project
and do not know a lot about it. It does perform quite good though.

Hi Cassi,
If you are ordering subscriptions for various people in your office, it would be best to sign up under their Adobe IDs, so they can log in and use the subscription with their own credentials. As for moving the current subscription, the easiest route is to cancel the current subscription (see Cancel your membership or subscription | Acrobat, Acrobat.com online services--or I can help), and then reorder as necessary.
Best,

USB mobile broadband dongle randomly disconnects

This is really driving me mad. I had to get a USB dongle for my net connection because I couldn't afford a wired net connection, and after spending hours on the phone trying to get the tech support people to tell me what details I could enter into NetworkManager so I could use it as they don't publish a non-proprietary-software guide on their site, I finally managed to get it to work.
Asides from the connection being crap (I live in a small country town so even ordinary mobile phones get < 3 bars), I've found that the device disconnects for no apparent reason, like it just shuts down. NetworkManager can't reboot it, unplugging it and plugging it in again doesn't fix it, and it seems the only solution is to reboot my computer (just like Windows huh). I've read somewhere that Huawei devices are supposed to be flipped to their modem state for them to work properly, but I'm not entirely sure how to do this, and don't really want to risk borking the device as it's the only net connection I've got for the time being.
Where should I look to find debug information from the device and how to stop it from disabling itself after several hours? And are the usb_modeswitch and similar programs safe, i.e. are they likely to work as expected without totally messing up the device?

I hope you have solved this problem by now but just in case here is my experience:-
I have had this problem with on 2 different linux and windows machines. In my case it turned out to be a mechanical problem. The USB sockets are very unreliable and for some reason particularly so with USB mobile broadband dongles. In the first case the machine had front usb ports. When the dongle was plugged into the front ports the connection was very unreliable and when plugged directly to the motherboard ports at the rear there was no problem.
In the second case I was using a long usb cable as the signal strength at the PC was too weak for broadband connection. In this case the connection to the usb socket at the end of the cable was very loose so the internet connection would dropout for no apparent reason and as with your experience I would have to reboot to get it going again. This was an expensive usb cable too, so price was no guide to reliability.

USB Mobile Broadband

Hi,
I've looked everywhere in the user discussions and can't find an answer to my problem. This is my first post, and I'm not very techie, so please go easy on me!
I just bought my macbook pro, and I connect to the internet via 3's USB Mobile Broadband Huaweii E122. I have had no issues installing the USB software, and it connects to the internet fine on startup. However when I close the computer lid (and the macbook sleeps), then I reopen the lid, it doesn't let me connect to the internet. It detects the driver, sim card etc, but it doesn't let me press the 'Connect' button (the button greys out). I have to physically disconnect the USB and plug it back in, then the macbook detects the driver and sim card and I can press the 'connect' button.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled the usb modem. Problem persists. I have tried using it in different usb ports on the computer, with and without a usb extension cable. I have called tech support at my internet provider, who have told me that I'm just going to have to live with unplugging and plugging back in my modem because that's how macs work (total waste of a 20 minute phone call!). The funny thing is, that when I first installed the modem it was fine - this problem did not exist.
Every time I startup the computer it detects the usb and lets me connect absolutely fine. It only happens when I close the lid and reopen it again. Sorry if this is so wordy, and I hope it makes sense! It's not the end of the world but it is certainly annoying having to unplug and plug in this modem. Can anyone help me?
Thanks,
Brit

No, no router. It's called Mobile Broadband. I plug the usb stick (I've also seen it called a dongle) into my computer and the internet travels with me. I looked online for details about the internet type and connection and the only information I'm given that it's high speed broadband. When it's plugged into the computer for the first time it installs itself, and there shouldn't be a need to remove it. It worked perfectly with my other laptop (this was windows based) and it works fine with my mac, except for the 'connect' button greying itself out when the computer awakens from sleep mode.

Will USB mobile broadband work with Apple TV?

I am considering to get USB modem so I can use the apple TV anywhere. But I have not purchase the USB modem yet. Click below for more info on USB modem:-
http://threestore.three.co.uk/broadband/
I was thinking - USB modem is to be connected to my laptop (via USB port), Apple TV is to be connected to my laptop (via ethernet cable).
The questions are when I switch Apple TV on:-
1. Will Apple TV automatically find the internet?
2. Will the USB mobile Broadband work with Apple TV (Wireless via my computer)?
Please advise.

I'm sure it should be someone answering this question who has actually tried this, but given that the tv is not overly portable I'm not sure you will find too many who have.
FWIW, you can use an tv with a direct ethernet connection or ad hoc wifi network between the computer and the tv, so I don't see why a mobile account rather than a static one should make any difference. You would need to set up internet sharing and all that, but my guess is it should work for you. Be aware though, I haven't actually tried this.

Connect Mobile Broadband device to Airport Extreme?

Hi,
I'm thinking about changing broadband service providers. I'm considering getting a mobile broadband device from either Virgin mobile or Netzero. Both of these devices will allow me to connect up to 5 devices but when I start thinking about computers, phones, printers, iPad...we have more than 5 devices in the house that would want to connect to the wireless network. I am corrently using an airport extreme (which I love). Does anyone know if it's possible to connect one of these mobile broadband devices to the airport for a larger network? If so, how?
Thanks in advance,

Hello,
I guess that it would be correct to assume that you have looked at hotspot devices (small access points or routers with Wi-Fi capabilities). The following discussion concerned a similar problem, where Bob Timmons suggested to use Ethernet between routers. Unfortunately, a hotspot may not have an Ethernet (LAN) port at all.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4033477
One solution could possibly be a slightly different approach. There are several dedicated mobile broadband routers available (from Dovado, Netgear, Cradlepoint, and others). These typically accept a USB mobile broadband modem (check that the router has support for the exact model and the phone network in question). These routers do usually have at least one LAN port (which may allow a wired connection to another router, if merely the Wi-Fi capacity would not be adequate).

Can you connect a mobile broadband device to a time capsule?

Can you connect a mobile broadband device to a time capsule?

Only if it has ethernet.. and offers the ip direct to the device ie you need a 3G router not a USB stick..

Windows 8.1 laptop cannot connect to the internet using USB Mobile Broadband stick.

I bought a new laptop and it came with Windows 8.1 installed. Well, things worked perfectly until I wanted to connect to the internet using my mobile broadband USB stick. I installed the software that came with the stick, and my laptop recognize
the stick but I still cant connect to the internet. The stick workes perfect in my Windows 7 and Windows 8 laptops, but IT DONT CONNECT WITH MY WINDOWS 8.1 LAPTOP. What can I do to troubleshoot this???
HOPE I AM SPECIFIC ENOUGH THOU...

The PC Repair Guy,
If you haven't already, verify that you can connect to the internet through some other means such as Wi-Fi or Ethernet with your laptop to rule out any network setting issues. If you are able to connect successfully to the internet, use that opportunity
to make sure you have
Windows 8.1 Update installed as well as any other applicable updates your laptop may require.
You may also want to check the
Windows Compatibility Center to make sure that your device is compatible with Windows 8.1.
Another possibility is that the driver your laptop is installing for the device isn't the correct one. Check the device manufacturer's site for the most up to date driver they have available for Windows 8.1.
Hope this helps!

My ipod says the connection passcode for our internet is incorrect when the same passcode connects to the internet with our other electronic devices.

my ipod has always been able to connect to the internet until this past month. i have the passcode for our internet written down but it says the passcode is incorrect. our other electronic devices work and connect to the internet with the same passcode. what should i do?

Try the following:
- Reset the iPOd. Nothing will be lost.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on your router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iPhone and iPod touch: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
