Does VZAccess Manager (Verizon's EVDO) work with a MacBook?

I just bought a MacBook (which has no PC card slot), and would like to
use my EVDO service from Verizon Wireless. EVDO is a service from Verizon
Wirless, which uses the cell phone network to access the Internet at approximately 10 times the speed of a dial-up connection. I loaded a Mac
version of the software, but I don't think it recognized my internal Airport card.
When I bought the EVDO card from Verizion Wireless, the salesperson said
it will run on a Mac, but they have to record the serial number from the
Airport card (I think).
Has anyone used this on a Mac?
Thanks,
Paul

Verizon DO have a EVDO ExpressCard solution.
At this time they are the only cellular provider offering an ExpressCard solution that works with Mac OS X.
Sprint have a card coming, but it's not yet available (or at least wasn't available last time I checked).
They're basically the same card, manufactured by Sierra Wireless, IIRC, so there's no reason why it wouldn't work with either provider. However, Verizon are far more Mac-aware than Sprint are (which isn't actually saying a lot).
At least with the PCCard solution, Sprint requires the use of a Windows PC to activate the card. Once activated it works fine in a Mac even though their staff will tell you that it can't be used in any machine other than the one that activated it (I even had to show their tech support person the page on their own support site that talked about Mac OS X compatibility).
I've used PCCard solutions from all the major cellular networks. If it wasn't for Sprint's brain-dead activation process they'd have the best system - their card utilizes the built-in Internet Connect to manage its connection, unlike all the others that use some special third-party application.
Anyway, feel free to get the Verizon card. It works just fine and doesn't have the Windows requirement.

    My Imac late 2012 running Yosemite does not recognise my Huawei 3g usb modem. itried to install Java bt still it does not although the same modem works with my MacBook pro . any help please

    Hey there mbarikiwa,
    If your iMac still has not recognized the usb modem, I would use the troubleshooting for Yosemite USB issues in the following article:
    OS X Yosemite: If a USB device isn’t working
    If the device is connected to a USB hub: 
    Make sure the device and the hub are the same speed. Connect USB 3.0 SuperSpeed devices to a USB 3.0 SuperSpeed HUB, USB 2.0 Hi-Speed devices to a USB 2.0 Hi-Speed hub, and so on. 
    If the device doesn’t have a power cord and is plugged into another USB device that doesn’t have a power cord: 
    Try plugging the device directly into your computer’s USB port  or into a USB device that does have a power cord. You might need to disconnect and reconnect the other device as well, if it has stopped responding. 
    If you have many devices connected to your Mac: 
    Disconnect all USB devices except the device you’re testing, an Apple keyboard, and an Apple mouse. Make sure that the device is connected directly to the computer, and that any hubs or extension cables are disconnected. If you can use the device now, the problem may be with one of the other USB devices or hubs you had connected to your computer. Try reconnecting them, one by one, to your computer. When you find the device causing the problem, review its documentation for further troubleshooting steps. 
    Verify that the device appears in System Information: 
    Choose Apple menu > About This Mac. In the window that appears, click Overview, then click the System Report button to open System Information. 
    In the window that appears, see if the USB device is listed below Hardware in the Contents list. If the device appears but does not work, review the device’s documentation for further troubleshooting steps. 
    Restart apps: 
    Quit and restart any apps that use the device. 
    Restart your Mac: 
    Choose Apple menu > Restart.
    Check your device’s USB connection
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,
    Sterling

  • Does wireless Key board Model # A1016 work with the Macbook air?

    I have an old Apple wirless key board Model # A1016, I am trying to pair it with my Macbook air. Doesn't seem to be working, does anyone know if it is even compatible or not?

    My understanding is that the BWI uses an 802.11b wireless standard that is perfectly compatible with the built-in reception that the MBA has.
    Is there anything that would lead you to doubt the compatibility?

  • Does the Apple USB Ethernet Adapter work with a MacBook Air that's been updated to Lion?

    I saw a comment at the online Apple store that the USB Ethernet Adapter didn't work with Lion. Anyone else have experience with the adapter?

    Just point the tech rep to the apple website that lists the Ethernet to USB system requirements as:
    "Overview
    The Apple USB Ethernet Adapter is a simple, one-piece external adapter that plugs into the USB 2.0 port of your MacBook Air to provide 10/100BASE-T performance. Simply plug your Ethernet cable into the RJ-45 connector — no external power is required. It’s small, light, easy to install, and even easier to use.
    Technical Details
         USB 2.0 with bus power
         10/100BASE-T (RJ-45 connector)
    What's in the Box

    Note that there is no mention of a specific OS requirement.......Cut and pasted from apple.com.

  • Does the Asus BW-12D1S-U work with the MacBook Pro with Retina display?

    I ordered a new MacBook Pro with Retina Display, and I want to be able to burn Blu-rays. Will any of these external Blu-ray burners work with my new laptop?
    ASUS USB 3.0 12X Blu-ray Burner Model BW-12D1S-U/BLK/G/AS
    Plextor PX-B310U 6x Blu-ray Combo Super Multi Drive
    LITE-ON USB 3.0 12X External Blu-ray Disc Writer Model eHBU212-08 LightScribe Support
    I have a Mac desktop too, so if an external Blu-ray burner will not work I am going to get an internal Blu-ray burner and install in on my desktop (the LG WH12LS38K). I would prefer to get an external Blu-ray burner so I can use it on both my laptop and desktop.

    In general you should be fine, but it wouldn't hurt to contact the manufacturer and ask about compatibility. If it works with OS X on USB 3, 2 will work but slower. As for density - there are 50GB bluray disks. Nice for storage.

  • Why Does Live View In DW Not Work With BC Template?

    The live view using a BC template in DW CS6 shows "PAGE NOT FOUND" in the body section but the header and footer look fine. I should also point out that the index.htm page works fine, it's just the other pages that have this problem. What makes it weirder is that the site works fine in all other modes including when viewing in a normal browser, it's ONLY when in live view! I also noticed that if I delete the .htm extension in the url in the DW browser when in Live View it fixes the problem, but this requires me to do this everytime I want to switch to live view and surely is either a problem with how the BC template files are named or DW CS6 is buggy? Hopefully this is an easy one to answer??

  • Does Event Manager 1.4.4 work in FCPX 10.1 (& 10.0.9)?

    Hi
    Does Event Manager 1.4.4 work in FCPX 10.1 (& 10.0.9)?
    Otherwise, what are folks doing not to be overloaded with events and projects when using FCPX?

    Ian!
    Looks great. I'll consider it.
    I've got a bunch to think about before creating the libraries.
    I'm thinking I almost would prefer not to create libraries since I often use some media from old projects in new projects and don't want to be copying from one library to another.
    I probably should post questions about that possibility separately, don't want to gush.
    best to you, Ian,

  • Why does the color red change from working with images in develop to library?  The color gets lighter and nothing shows a change on histogram but visually you can see it.

    Why does the color red change from working with images in develop to library?  The color gets lighter and nothing shows a change on histogram but visually you can see it.

    That's probably a broken display profile. The conversion from Library's Adobe RGB is different than the conversion from Develop's linear ProPhoto, so if there's a problem with the display profile it can show up this way.
    Recalibrate, or if you don't have a calibrator use sRGB. If your monitor is a wide gamut model use Adobe RGB.
    Assuming Windows, change it in Control Panel > Color Management > Devices, and relaunch Lightroom so that it can pick up the new profile at startup:

    Sarah,
    Check this link:
    http://roaringapps.com/app:2533
    It contains some issues that people have encountered with Lion and Office 2008. It appears it can work, but you may have to go through some of the steps a few of the posters there have listed.
    That website also contains a pretty large list of applications and if they will work with Lion.
    Hope this helps! (I am not affiliated in any way with the site linked).

  • What does HTML have over PDFs when working with data?

    I'm doing some research for a client whose company is moving from PDFs to HTML for their in-house user interfaces.
    What does HTML have over PDFs when working with data?
    Thanks!
    Luke

    PDFs can indeed work with data and can be programmed with javascript. You can do some pretty interesting things with it. It is even possible to create interactive forms on the web using PDF, however it requires server-side support. As a general rule, though, PDFs are terrible as a web interface and it's far easier to work with HTML and PHP.
    HTML is lightweight and PDF isn't (in case that seems like a small thing, it's actually a big negative for PDFs). The success of your PDFs will depend on the versions of acrobat your users use, and getting data in and out of the PDFs will require learning far more about Acrobat's FDF format and XML implementation than you may want to know.

    I have the Brookstone DLP Pico projector. I purchased it from EBay not too long ago. It worked before with the previous version of Apples iOS. I would view netflix, youtube, and videos.. I have an iphone4.
    Now with the latest update to ios7, tried it last evening with netflix and youtube, it does not work at all! This is rediculous, restricting access to something we had access to before
