Downloaded Lion - now Air does not recognise mobile internet dongle

I downloaded Lion yesterday (love it so far!) but since then my Orange internet dongle isn't recognised!  Downloaded the Orange software again (and again and again) but keeps telling my to connect the dongle - which is already there. The Orange site suggests that the update might have put my dongle into a suspended state and to contact Mincrosoft (and, I suppose in this case, Apple).  Can't see anything on the apple site, though.  Anyone else had this problem and how did you resolve it?  Isn't it funny that I am using Orange with an Apple ?

OK - replying to my own question!
I've now spoken with Orange and they tell me that this is a known issue - and from other posts seems it's the same with a number of mobile broadband providers.  They say they are working on it and it will be days rather than weeks to get this issue resolved.  She has sent me a link to a site which talks you through a manual workaround - and again I think this is the same with other providers.  I haven't tried it yet.  But I suppose if this doesn;t work, then I'll have to wait for Orange to get their software together.  Such a pity that they don't seem to work in advance with Apple on these things (and vice versa, of course).  I could really have been left quite stuck, as I work away from home and rely on this service for home comms, films, etc.

    Please check in Settings: General: Keyboard: International Keyboards how many there are and which.
    If there is more than one you can either delete the ones that you don't use, or if you want to type on different ones at different times you can change between them using the key with a world that appears when you are using the keyboard.

  • I downloaded lion and cloud does not show up in my system  preferences. Not sure how to get started without finding icloud., I downloaded lion and cloud does not show up in my system  preferences. Not sure how to get started without finding icloud.

    I just downloaded lion and cloud does not show up in my system preferences. Where is it hiding so I can set up icloud and see what lion is offering that is different from snow leopard.

    I purchased Lion on the app program but that did not seem to update my software or my operating system. Curious. It showed up on my menu bar saying it was downloading then disappeared. I can't seem to find it anywhere. Suggestions where I should look to make sure it is installed (which clearly it isn't)
    Thanks Roger

  • After Lion upgrade, camera does not work on internet services like facebook

    After upgrading to Lion, the onboard camera no longer works with internet sites like Facebook.
    I tried this with Safari and Google Chrome with the same lack of results.
    You will select take photo in Facebook and the next screen is locked up. This failure occurred on two separat Macbooks.
    Yet this does not happen with my Macbooks with Snow Leapord - I tried.
    Any ideas on how to fix this.
    Lion appears to be the first Windows like Mac operating system (glitchy). Not ready for primetime. Is this an omen of what Apple without Jobs will be like (again).
    My second computer to be upgraded had conflicts with certain start-up programs that had the effect of locking out the Internet connection.
    I had to manually delete these programs to get Internet to work.

    Seeing the same issue on a C2D Macbook, camera worked fine yesterday afternoon using GTalk.  Upgraded to Lion last night now the camera no longer shows up in any of the utilities that used to be able to see it.  Don't buy the "Must be a hardware problem" too wide spread for it to not be software related.

  • Since I downloaded lion my calendar does not sync with mobile me.  What do I do?

    My calendar sync's from Mobile Me to my Iphone (3g) but not from my phone to Mobile Me or to my IMAC.   On my IMAC, I've gone to Mobile Me in the preferences and the sync options DO NOT include "calendar".   On my phone I have made sure that the Mobile Me calendars are checked (so that I see them on my Iphone.)  The default calendar on my IPhone is the phone's calendar.  Have I put in the right settings? 

    You don't sync the MM calendar anymore, you subscribe to it in iCal,
    iCal>Preferences>Accounts, enter the details here.
    MM should be the default calendar on all clients.

  • Had to rebuild computer & now itunes does not recognise ipod & iphones

    Had major problems with pc & had to reload everything & have successfully reloaded backed up music & films but now when I connect ipod & iphone it thinks that they are linked to another version of itunes & get the message saying that it will delete all media etc on the devices. I have lots of apps & other music (downloaded direct onto ipod) contact/diary info that I don't want to lose. Any ideas anyone?
    Many thanks.

    Ipod touch and iphone will sync to one computer/library at a time. Since you had to reload everything, it is now a new library. Your iphone and ipod will indeed be erased when you sync.
    You can transfer itunes purchases from the devices first.
    Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases
    Were you contacts not included in the regular backup?
    If for some reason you did not backup your contacts, calendars, then you can enter one unique contacts/calendar entry on your computer. When you first sync you should get the option to merge the data.

  • Itunes does not recognise ipad or iphone after window 8.1 patch May 2014

    Last week my laptop did a patch update to windows 8.1 and now  Itunes does not recognise  my ipad or iphone when i plug them into the USB ports.
    The devices do ask "to trust the computer" and Windows itself reconises the ipad and iphone and i can get to files on the apple products through windows but itunes doesnt see them and therefore doesnt sync  therefore i cant download music onto my phone etc.
    Ps i did uninstall itunes and reinstalled but this didnt work.  Although after reading about other people with similar  issues on past window updates I think  I may need to uninstall all apple software .
    I have an old Ipod 5G that works fine with Itunes.
    Anybody with similar issues and a plan to get this sorted ?...... as i need music on my phone for holiday !!

  • Sony Vaio not recognising Wifi/Internet connections since System Refresh ... Help!

    I'm using Windows 8.1 on a Sony Vaio SVE1512C6EW.  It was running really slow, so I did a System Refresh and deleted a few programmes. Now it is not recognising Wifi/Internet connections and Audio doesn't work.  I don't know if I deleted the driver or it was the refresh.  Please help!  

     
    Hi nickisheps, 
    Thank you for visiting Sony Community! 
    Here in Sony Support USA for Vaio, we do not recommend System Refresh right away since your issue was slow performance. You could uninstall programs and check for viruses/malicious programs first, running Vaio or Windows update, etc. You are right about drivers. There is a possibility that some drivers and software are not properly installed or was deleted after the refresh. You may try this first: Go to Device manger -> Network adapter -> select the name of the adapter -> right click and select Uninstall (DO NOT DELETE). Restart the laptop. The default driver will be reinstalled. You may do the same process in Audio, just select Sound, video and game controllers. Check again if you the will connect to the internet.  
    If none of these work then you need to visit Sony's website (based on your location or from where you purchased the unit) and download the needed drivers. 
    Since your Vaio SVE1512C6EW is not a U.S. model and we have limited information about your unit and we do not have the drivers and software that support your computer. We kindly recommend visiting our Sony Global Web site for information on contacting the Sony Support Center in your region at http://www.sony.net/SonyInfo/Support/. 
    Hope these help. 
    Best regards,

  • Now have OSX 10.8.2. cannot update my HP Scanjet software. Have downloaded a patch from the HP site, but my MacBook will not open it as it says it does not recognise HP as an apple compatible compnay. Any advise?

    I have just plugged in my scanner (HP Scanjet G2710) however my old HP Scan software will not opne. I have found a patch on the HP site which may fic the problem (although it only sesm to go up to OSX 10.7) and having donaloaded the patch my Mac will not opne or deal with the software as it now tells me it does not recognise HP as an Apple affiliated compnay. Any help / suggestions? I don't really want to buy another scanner...

    Hi,
    By reading your notes I assume you didn't uninstalled the HP Software and installed the latest v10.6 software available online, any previous version will not work regardless the patch installation as it was not signed.
    Be sure to follow the directions listed in here:
    http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=c03428470 #A3
    The latest software can be downoad from here:

    Then you should reinstall the patch:
