Get the Dell EVDO Express Card working on a Macbook Pro - here's how

I found this here:
http://svenontech.com/2006/06/11/get-ev-do-access-on-your-macbook-pro-now-from-v erizon-via-your-xv6700/
On the Mac side, you’ll first need to pair your XV6700 and Mac to each other. You should be able to do this easily, but if you need some help, check out Apple’s site for direct documentation on how to do this. When pairing, select “Other” device from the list, not “Phone”.
Once paired, the last screen will ask if you wish to use the device as a modem and headset. Uncheck headset (unless you wish to use your phone to communicate with others on applications such as Skype.) Now follow these instructions for setting up the modem:
Username: (Your full phone number) [email protected]
Password: vzw
Phone Number: #777
Mode Script: au cdmaOne Bluetooth Adapter
Leave all check boxes checked
Click CONTINUE
Click QUIT
You’re now all set on the Mac side. You’ll now see a phone with a dot slash icon on your menu bar. Select it and choose “Connect”. Remember to have your XV6700 on, Bluetooth enabled, and the WMmodem application running Bluetooth mode with the START button activated. If all this is the case, you’ll be connected in seconds and your modem icon will display a counter next to it once connected. Enjoy the EV-DO!
Can someone verify that this works? I have a Dell Card on order.
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.7)

David,
Thanks for the response.
Before I read this I went to the apple store and tried some BT file transfers to another Mac and experienced the same results. I then went to the Sony store and tested it on a XP laptop and experienced the same speeds. I am able to achieve twice that rate when doing mac to mac BT transfere. I know my MBP has BT 2.0, but I didn't think my first generation Mini was 2.0.
I am able to sync via USB with Mark/Space's Missingsync, but it doesn't appear that they support DUN. I will email them, to see if they will consider it.
I just bought my 6700, so I still have the choice to return it. I am not sure if I should get another device that currently supports EVDO DUN via USB or suck it up and hope someone makes a usb dun driver for the 6700.
Thanks again.
Ben

Can I get a Dell U2410 Monitor to work with a MacBook Pro?

I rashly bought this monitor. It looks lovely but it has a maximum resolution of 1920 x 1200, which I could not get with the VGA connection, and Dell do not make drivers for the Mac at all. Is there any chance of getting this monitor to work properly with my MacBook Pro? I found the Dell support site extremely difficult to penetrate, so I put the monitor back in its box and am going to sell it if I can't easily find out how to use it.
Any advice is welcome.

I think you are using the wrong adapter. Higher resolutions require the use of a mini display port to DVI or DVI-D Dual link adapter. A VGA adapter will not do the job.
And I assume you are trying "extended" and not "mirrored" mode. What model Macbook Pro do you have?

The dash key has stopped working on my macbook pro

help!!the dash key has stopped working on my macbook pro mid 2010 and its amazing how much i need to use it has anyone else had this problem with keys and would they be able to fix it at the genius bar at my apple store

Well if you took it completely apart and couldn't get it to work by operating the silicone "cone" then the trace or contactor must be corroded or discontinuous. The only repair is to replace the keyboard. Sorry.

How can I get the old view of iCal back on my MacBook Pro and iPhone?

How can I get the old view of iCal back on my MacBook Pro and iPhone? The Mavrick version is crisp and clean but a colored dot is not the same as a highlighted word. I rely on my iCal on my MacBook Pro and iPhone 5 to help me track which of the 8 sites I visit for my job during the week - the color coding is (was key) to organizing and tracking meetings. I hate the upgrade!

If purchased through the Mac App Store then it can be installed on up to five authorized CPUs. Otherwise, it's controlled by the license that came with the software.
To install on another computer copy the downloaded installer application to the other computer.

If you haven't already, go to your Applications folder>System Preferences>"Sound">click on the center tab labelled "Output">highlight your external Bose Speakers in the list by clicking on it>turn up the Volume slider at the bottom of the window. Hopefully that solves your problem.
Hope this helps

The internal speakers are not working on my macbook pro

the internal speakers are not working on my macbook pro

Are they selected under System Preferences>Sound? Or do you see something such as "Digital Output" listed instead of "Internal Speakers"?
It may be that your digital out switch is 'stuck.' This usually happens after using headphones and you can usually see a red light coming from the audio out port. You can 'fix' this by plugging and unplugging a headphone jack repeatedly until the switch is reset.

Express cards and 2008/2009 MacBook Pro

Just curious to know if anybody here is using an eSata or any other express cards and do not have any problems at all with it. I understand express cards do not work well on these notebooks.
Message was edited by: Freddie Herbst

On the early 2008 MBP I had I used for 2.5 years and used some kind of card in the ExpressCard slot the whole time. Never a problem.
I used an eSATA 2 port controller for a few months as well, I had an Wintec 48GB SSD ExpressCard. I had a couple of problems with the SSD until a firmware update from Wintec resolved issue.
Some of the commentary you may be thinking about related to this is the speed of the eSATA bus being stepped down to 1.5MB vs it's capable 3.0. It's a topic of technical debate perhaps but has nothing to do with the actual reliability and usefulness of the ExpressCard feature. Actually I sure wish the current model 15" MBP still had ExpressCard.

How can I get an audio-in connector to work with a MacBook Pro (Mid 2012)?

I have a Plantronics headset with two cables: audio in and audio out (like the two connectors on the old MacBooks). It is pretty old and so I assumed it was for those. I have tried to get it to work with my mid-2012 MacBook Pro, but the microphone (audio in [yes, it does have a picture of a microphone on it]) cable isn't recognized by the Mac. It thinks it is headphones, and unsuccessfully tries to play sound through it. The other cable (audio out), however, successfully receives sound and plays it through.
I hope that makes sense, and I would appreciate any help .

They removed the audio input, starting from your model, you will need an USB interface, there are may, and it depends on how high of quality you need.
This works for most applications, unless you are trying to record "music quality"

Getting an Acer external monitor to work with a MacBook Pro

I just made the switch from PC to Mac and while I'm excited I'm having a few growing pains. Here's one thing I'm trying to figure out.
Both at home and at the office I have external monitors configured. These worked well with the PC but I having some problems with the Mac. I get the screens to work together fine (i.e. I can drag things from the laptop screen to the external monitor). However, the resolution on the external monitor is grainy. I've tried all the resolution setting and can't get it to work any better.
The Mac is a MacBook Pro with a 15.4" screen and the external monitor is an Acer AL2216Wbd.

two possibilities>
1. you're using analog cable to connect to external display (via dvi to vga adapter-but that is not the case obviously, because otherwise you could set the ref. rate for 60 or 75Hz - now its greyed out) anyway, when I used this set up, I noticed huge degradation of displaying quality. kinda washed out and blurred. but not grain at all
2. but what is more presumable in your case, you're using photo background provided by apple...these pictures are grainy by themselve. and when you extend your desktop from 15" to 20" it's clear that you notice it, all the more, if the external is not widescreen, therefore background image has to be stretched and cropped even more, therefore the grain is even bigger. This is my personal experience.
try to test it. put to the background for example some gradient made especially for that purpose in ill or ps. make two versions for both screens.
thats all
good luck

The Sims 3 won't work on my Macbook Pro

I just recently got a Macbook Pro that came with Lion installed already. When I tried to put Sims 3 into it, the computer didn't read the disk. Is there anything I can do to get Sims to work on my computer? Thanks

Is it a Mac disk? If not, it won't work unless you create a Windows partition, and install Windows through Boot Camp or an emulator like Parallels.

I cannot get my HP officejet 7000 to work with my Macbook Pro?

I installed the HP Officejet 7000 and at first it worked ok however on rebooting my Macbook Pro I can no longer connect to the printer? This has happened with 2 different HP Officejet 7000 printers. Does anyone have a solution?

OS X Mountain Lion and OS X Lion systems will have the necessary printing software already installed, or will automatically download and install software when the printer is connected or configured. Do not install software that came with the printer as it may be out of date, and do not connect the printer to your Mac yet. Follow the instructions that came with the printer to unpack, install ink or toner, and insert paper. Finally, use the instructions in this article to connect the printer to your Mac.
Make sure the printer model is listed in Printer and scanner software, which is a comprehensive list of all printer models that have compatible software for OS X Mountain Lion and OS X Lion.

HT4528 My iPhone and iPad will receive .msn e-mails, but I cannot respond to them, getting a message that says "User name or password incorrrect" when the same username and password works on mt MacBook Pro. What gives?!

My iPhone (and iPad) will receive .msn e-mails but will not allow me to respond or forward, giving an error message that says the username or password are incorrect for the SMTP, but the same configuration allows me to receive AND send from my MacBook - what can I do to correct this?

Alright, I'll take a mea culpa on this. I just recalled the one thing I didn't try which was establishing an application-specific password for the phone:

Will the Apple 30 Inch display work with my MacBook pro? Confused!!

Hi all,
thinking of getting a used Apple 30 inch display to go with my MBP, but not sure if it will work at the correct resolution. Ive read you need a Duel Link DVI cable, but I have Thunderbolt not mini-display port. My MBP is early 2011 (think), so I am really confused. The 27 Incher with thunderbolt would be good too, but they are too expensive for me.
Graphics card is AMD Radeon HD 6490M, 16mb RAM. 10.6.8.
I would really appriciate any advice !
Thank you all in advance,
Bish.

I am replying to my own post here, but i have made excellent progress and wanted to let any other viewers in the same boat, know the solution.
Basically, the Duel Link DVI cable from Apple (£70 / $99) is the bad boy that works. My confusion was Thunderbolt, but apparently Thunderbolt IS ALSO a DVI port ! So, buy the 30 incher on Ebay or off a mate, and BANZAI ! done. Glorious res of about 2560x1600pixels is awesome!
The only downside here is that it might be too big LOL !!!!
Good luck all
Bish

What can i do to make the sims 3 starters pack work on my macbook pro?

The sims 3 won't even pop up on my mac. it says on the box that it is MAC compatible. Does that mean anything? the sims 3 starter pack seems to be working on my brothers samsung laptop. why not my Mac?

Mac/Windows compatible CDs if they predate 2006 won't work with Mac OS X 10.7 or later unless you run Windows on your Mac, or run 10.6 in virtualization because old PowerPC Mac software are only supported through Mac OS X 10.6.8 with the software in 10.6 called Rosetta. Some of that software may not work if there are very particular PowerPC drivers that need addressing.
The Full Sims 3 is available for Intel Macs, according to these system requirements. I would contact them to determine if they have tested it in 10.7 or later, as they may be trying to access older code from PowerPC Macs that wasn't completely eliminated in 10.5.7, the minimum system they say it will run on. Be sure to find your GPU in the System Profiler and see if it meets those specs. Maybe you just need to patch the Sims package.
P.S. Some Windows users and developers aren't aware that Mac is the nickname for Macintosh, and MAC is the acronym for Media Access Control the hexadecimal code identifying certain network devices.
