How do I securely eject vodafone USB modem in Yosimite?

Hi Guys,
Every time I try to safely remove the usb modem , my system comes up with an warning message that the disk was removed without shutting down first and the restarts the Macbook ... this is freakin anoying.
I do go to the Vodafone software and close everything and also quit the application but still does it ..

Try going to 'Finder'. You should see something like 'Vodafone USB modem' or 'USB modem' under the 'Devices' tab on the left hand side of the 'Finder' window. There should be an icon next to it, that allows you to eject it. If not, right click or tap with two fingers on it (if you enabled the feature) and you should be able to eject it. If not, well... I can't help very much then.

  • N810 Vodafone USB Modem issue

    Friends,
                 I have just purchased Nokia N810 wimax series internet tablet but now I have a problem acessing Internet using the Vodafone USB modem which is windows based & not Linux based.
    So do we have any service provider in India who gives Linux based USB modem or rather one compatible with N810 wimax.....
     This is very urgent guys coz i have to make presentation using it in 2 days.

    Check this thread from the OpenSolaris forums. It should apply to Sol11E.

  • MacBook Pro Wake-up numerous panics Vodafone USB modem

    I have a MacBook Pro 15" with Mountain Lion OSX 10.7.5 installed. I plug in a usb modem "Vodafone Mobile Broadband K3765 HSPA USB Modem" or  "Vodafone Mobile Broadband K3520 HSPA USB Modem"(HuaweiDataCard). With the modem plugged into the USB when the Mac is not in use, it goes into Sleep mode. On wake-up the Mac OSX panic. I have tested this without the modem and there is no issues.
    I have tested two different modems, made sure that both modems and Vodafone Mobile Broadband software is on the latest supported releases.
    I have a similar panic happening when the Bluetooth mouse is on while the Mac wake-up.
    Does anyone know of a fix for this issue ?

    Any activity on a USB bus, including connecting or disconnecting a USB device, will wake the computer. This is as-designed and not a fault. I don't know of any way to prevent it.  Connect or disconnect your USB devices before putting the computer to sleep.

  • Vodafone USB Modem Stick - if I buy it in Italy, can I use it elsewhere?

    I have been wrestling for a while now with the problem of how best to access the Internet, via my MacBook, while in Italy, where we have a holiday home.
    I called in at the local Vodafone shop (in the town of Pergola, Pesaro-Urbino, Marche region). The guy there told me that I could buy a USB modem for 99 Euro, but he wasn't sure whether I would get a signal at my home, up in the hills behind the town. Now I can get a signal on my mobile phone there (with a UK Vodafone account).
    I then came home and enquired about the USB modem at a UK Vodafone shop, to be told it could not be purchased outright (as it can in Italy), but only as part of an 18-month contract. As I would hardly be using it in the UK it makes no sense to pay the exorbitant fees that using it in Italy would involve.
    So I'm left with the dilemma: should I shell out the 99 Euros for a dongle in Italy , presuming that I can use it anywhere that Vodafone Italy have coverage (maybe even my home there!)? And if I ever wanted to, could I use it back in the UK?
    Any advice or suggestions from Mac-using dongle people would be welcome!

    You need to check carefully with the local rules because the issue is not one of technical matters but policy.
    First of all, the card will absolutely work. No doubt about it.
    However, if it was purchased in Italy, it will have an Italian phone number associated with it (yes, even though it's not used as a phone it still has a phone number). When you use it in the UK it would be just the same as using a Italian-purchased cellphone in the UK with the same burdens of roaming charges, etc.
    The situation may be worse with the data card because many wireless carriers place additional restrictions on data usage in addition to phone minutes and text messages. You may find that the Italian plan allows for, say, 5GB of data transfer per month, but only 10MB roaming data with a charge of €10/MB.
    At that point the question is not whether it will work (it will), but whether you can afford to run it.

  • How do I share a 3G USB modem connected to my Macbook Pro with my Airport Express?

    Hi. I have a 3g USB modem connected to my macbook pro, and I want to try share the signal with my Airport Express (latest model).
    Now before everybody screams that it can't be done, I was searching the forums and found a discussion in which someone describes how to do it from 2008, unfortunately it is archived and I couldn't ask the author directly, and the description doesn't go into much detail.
    In the thread, the author describes turning internet sharing on to share the USB modem, creating a network on the macbook, then renaming the Airport Express network name the same as the macbook, and setting the AX to Join a Network.
    Problem being there is no description of whether the macbook connected to the AX via ethernet or wifi, what settings were changed on the AX eg bridge mode.
    Is this possible in theory, and has anybody had any success sharing a 3g USB modem via a macbook pro to an AX? I know there are other options like getting 3g ethernet modems, unfortunately not an option in this case - new house, waiting for DSL to be installed, 2-3 month wait.
    Thanks

    Well, you cannot use the 3G USB modem plugged directly into the Express. However, you can configure your MacBook Pro to do 'Internet sharing' (SysPrefs>Sharing) over the Ethernet port, and then connect your Express into the Ethernet port. Alternatively, you could always get your MacBook to 'create a wireless network'.
    new house, waiting for DSL to be installed, 2-3 month wait.
    You could always look for open WiFi networks to *cough*borrow*cough* .

  • With vodafone usb modem broadband, it takes mozilla 5 mins. to access a website;Mozilla 1.7 takes 30 secs.

    I have vodafone broadband mobile lite (USB modem) and after selecting a website, it takes up to 5 mins. to get there and open it. (and by the way, IE is the same), whereas old old Mozilla 1.7, which is what I am submitting this through, takes 30 secs, or so via vodafone.

    Hi,
    Listed below is the step by step intructions to configure the Nokia device as a modem to a mac.
    Steps:
    Connecting your Mac to the internet is convenient and easy with your a compatible Nokia S60 device. You'll need a Nokia S60 device that supports a 2G or 3G data connection (such as GPRS or HSDPA), a compatible Mac (with the latest OS X), a USB cable for your Nokia device or a Bluetooth-enabled Mac, and a network subscription with your mobile service provider.
    To set up your device you'll need to know your operator's Access Point Name (APN) and have the packet data service enabled. For help with this please contact your operator.
    In Settings select and open Connection >Select and open Packet data > Select and open Access point >Type in your operator's Access Point Name
    Exit Settings. Your device is now ready to be used as a modem for your Mac!
    Bluetooth Connection: Pairing between Mac and Device using bluetooth, follow the instruction from here: http://europe.nokia.com/get-support-and-software/download-software/device-as-a-modem/connect-to-your...
    Note: Preferred mode is USB as it much faster than Bluetooth.
    Connect the device and then go to System preferences- >Network- >Select Device (Nokia XXX)
    Click on Advanced Tab > Modem tab
    - Vendor : Nokia
    -Model:GPRS (GSM/3G)
    -Telephone Number: *99***1# (contact your operator to get this settings)
    -APN: airtelgprs.com (contact your operator to get this settings)
    CID: 1
    Once connected it will be highlighted in green.
    Hopefully this helps.
    Cheers
    Sandy

  • How can I use 2 3g usb modems to increase internet speed (connection bonding)?

    I live in Bolivia, which if you don't know has the worst internet on planet earth.. i.e. poorest reliability, availability, speed, most expensive, etc..
    I currently have a couple of 4g usb modems (which have speeds way slower than 3g.. we're talking 1-200 kbs = ( )... I'm thinking I can probably bond them, or do somekind of proxy thing so that I can browse the web across both of the dongles.. I know that will not equal 2 times the speed.. but anything would help..
    Hoping someone here has some ideas.
    The modems are both HUWEI and I can connect them via the network preferences pane.
    I know this is possible on ubuntu, but I don't really want to set up a linux server virtual or otherwise if I can avoid it.
    Many thanks,
    George

  • How do I properly eject my USB drive?

    So I was on my USB drive and stuff and I tried to safely eject it (dragging into the trash, pressing the eject button in Finder).When I think it's safe to pull it out, I pull it out. But then a message appears that I didn't properly eject my flash drive, even though I clearly did. Is this something to worry about or is my Mac just acting up again? My Mac is from 2009 and my usb drive is a SanDisk Cruzer Blade 16 GB, btw -3- the suggestion thingy says to write that so i did ....

    First, please use normal fonts and sizes here. Your selection is hard to read.
    Always eject a device in one of these ways:
    CTRL- or RIGHT-click on the device and select Eject from the context menu.
    Select the device's Desktop icon and drag it to the Trash.
    Select the device then select Eject from the Finder's File menu.
    Select the device then press COMMAND-E.
    Select the device and press the Eject button on the keyboard.
    Do not remove the device until its Desktop icon has disappeared. Don't be in a hurry.

  • How to set up a zoom usb modem

    I don't have access to ANY high speed internet and am solely on dial-up.  New computers do not have an internal modem and I had to purchase a Zoom Modem  56k v.92/v.90 for my 13" macbook pro.  Can't get it to work.
    I went to the Apple store and was informed that Apple does not make modems anymore since "everyone" has high speed internet now.---- well evidently everyone but me.  Got a Zoom modem.
    Now, how do I get it to work?  The place where I purchased the computer does not have a dial-up area where they can help me get it working.
    I plugged it in, filled out the information and it doesn't work.  Cannot connect.  I need step by step instructions for the techie impaired.
    Just to register with Apple and write this I have to sit a Dennys' Restaurant where there's wifi.

    Contact Zoom directly. Their support page for Mac users is at http://www.zoomtel.com/techsupport/dial_up/298x.shtml.

  • Using USB modem with a macbook

    I use a vodafone usb modem to connect to the internet , and i am currently trying to download a torrent using Azureus , but my download speed has never been higher than 10kB/s.
    Does any one know how to configure a usb modem to Azureus so the speed can improve. Or does anyone know another software which works better with usb modems ... help.

    My speeds are related to signal strength just like my phone coverage which is relatively the same thing because the usb modem is a phone of sorts. In urban areas, the strength is much stronger than in rural areas but for the most part, I am very happy with Verizon. I've found that the device is not as important as the provider and the quality of their network.
    To me, the ability to use my machine anywhere I choose is appealing regardless of the speed.

  • Ejecting a USB

    Hi! I just bought a mac pro, and was wondering how do I safely eject a USB from it? There is no icon on my desktop, and there is nothing on the sidebar in finder...so does that mean that it is safe to just pull out without doing anything?

    The new Finder default is to NOT show external storage devices, so you should enable that in the General section of Finder's preferences, both for the desktop as well as the sidebar.
    Once that is set, there are several ways of safely ejecting a USB storage device:
    Right-click or Control-Regular-Click on desktop icon, select Eject...
    Same on sidebar icon on any Finder window, or click on the little downward arrow.
    Drag desktop icon to the trash in the Dock
    Open Disk Utility, select the device and click on Eject.

  • Can't eject USB modem (Vodafone) - MAC OS crash

    Hi,
    I have recently purchased a USB modem for mobile broadband from Vodafone Australia. When I plug it into my Macbook (Intel Core 2 Duo running OSX 10.5.8) the modem appears then automatically disappears from the "DEVICES" tab on the Finder. It also disappears from Disk Utility and the Desktop, so I can't find a way to eject the modem when I'm done. If I unplug it, the computer freezes, with a black shade coming down and telling me that I have to turn off the computer. Any ideas how to fix this?
    Thanks for any help!

    I had a problem that might be related to yours: after I unplugged my fax modem there was a 30-second timeout delay before my iMac (OSX 10.6.5) would go to sleep. The problem went away when I "deleted" the modem:

  • Problems with Vodafone/Huawei E220 wireless usb Modem

    Hi there,
    My faithful Powerbook is having issues with a company issued Vodafone Vodem (Huawei E220 wireless HSDPA 3G USB modem).
    It worked well at first, but then after restarting, waking from sleep or rebooting from off, the Vodem would cease to connect to Vodafone, with the Vodafone Modem Software giving me a cryptic message "No modem or data card attached".
    Yesterday, I tried reinstalling and uninstalling the software, and after several installation/uninstallations, it finally reconnected. It has since stopped working again since shutting down the Powerbook overnight. Reinstalling has not yet worked.
    I read somewhere on the net that leaving the modem plugged in for a minute before attempting to connect might work - alas no such luck.
    Has anyone else out there had problems with their Vodafone/Huawei E220 USB wireless modem, and how did you resolve the problem?
    I have tried both the New Zealand 2.07 version, plus the European 2.08 version of the Vodafone connectivity software.
    I am running a Powerbook 15", 1.67ghz, MacOS 10.4.11, 512MB, no other peripherals connected.

    No experience, but what happens if you log out then back in?
    Does a New User have that problem?

    And if it supports 802.11a or 802.11b it may not offer the full WPA2 encryption, in which case you want to be at least 1500 feet (500 meters) from the nearest neighbor to ensure a secure connection.  802.11g supports WPA2 as well, and is also supported by the MacBook Pro.  It just is slower at 33 Mbps.
