I have a MiFi 4510L and it is erratically going dormant while still having a green light.

Have to reboot to run again. Will the card out of this unit work on any other WiFi units or do I have to buy another 4510L?

Dormancy is a feature that is built into all Jetpack devices. It is not a defect that needs to be corrected, rather it is an indication that something may be wrong with your actual connection with the towers. All devices will go dormant after a device stops sending or receiving data for a determined amount of time. Devices will go in and out of dormancy as frequently as is needed so long as the Jetpack is performing like normal.
The green light is a status tool similar to the dormancy status message. When the LED light is steady green on certain models that means there is no data being transferred. Once data starts transferring again the LED should blink Green accordingly. This should be the case for early MiFi 4510L models. The later models I believe constantly blink Green and the LED is not as helpful for troubleshooting.
The SIM on a MiFi 4510L is a normal full sized SIM and can be swapped with other Jetpacks of the same kind. You need to be careful not to consider swapping with a Jetpack that uses a Micro SIM card such as the 4620L.
Again, dormancy is normal and expected with all Jetpack models. You should be taking proper precautions and making a habit out of powering down your MiFi when it is not in use. This will help keep your signal with the local towers fresh and active when you actually need to use it.

You need a valid payment method even for free items. If you know the payment method is valid then contact iTunes.

Hello,
There are no files like that in that folder (com.apple.safari). They all have long numbers with .jpeg or .png at the end. That's what I meant by I cannot find any files like those mentioned in all the helps I read today. BTW-it's still crashing - no particular pattern to it at all.
The only two things I have downloaded recently is a new version of Flash and a Mac-driven update to Office.
Thank you very much for your attempt to help us.

TS2446 i cant remember the answers to my security questions. i have reset my password and added the recovery email account but still cant figure out how to purchase new content. it asks me the same security questions. how do i fix this?

i cant remember the answers to my security questions. i have reset my password and added the recovery email account but still cant figure out how to purchase new content. it asks me the same security questions. i also have a temp pin. how do i fix this?

If you've just added an address to your account then it will be an alternate/secondary email address, a rescue email address can only be added by answering 2 of your security questions. If you already had one on your account then go to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you should see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
If you don't have a rescue email addressthen you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down this page to add a rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312

Same problem for me.
1. Cannot connect to wifi as icloud password pop up keeps appearing.
2. tried deleting account. UNable to do so.
3. tried resetting password by logging into apple id through desktop as mentioned in one of the responses in another thread. Unfortunately the apple id to be reset is the same as being prompted by icloud and hence unable to reset the same.
Feel like breaking the **** ipad into bits. Stupid of apple to let such a bug in and not offer support !!

Mifi 4510L and 4620LE throughput slows throughout day eventually locks up in 24-48 hours. New Update?

Hello all. I have had a Mifi 4510L for about 6 months and its behaved pretty well. A lot of drop outs but it would reconnect and keep going. I bought a 4620LE last month and tried it for a couple of weeks. I noticed when I first powered it on it said it was installing an update. After the first day where it seemed to work fine, I rebooted it to leave on while I returned to my home.
The mifi unit is on a farm about 100 miles outside of town and is my only link to my farm and observatory (via gotomypc). I can monitor the observatory, close the roof if weather turns bad and take images of objects in the sky. Well its obviously a very high priority that the connection be maintained unless I want a 200 mile round trip drive in the middle of the night.
So the mifi 4620 was great on paper but but as the day went along it would get slower and slower. If I restarted it it was normally good for another 24 hours. However one nite it decided to stop working at 1:30 AM which caused a 3 hour drive to find it had just plain locked up. So I took it back and returned to using the 4510L with out difficulty again even though it was a bit choppier but comparatively very reliable.
Then last week the same affliction began with the 4510L. Getting slower and slower throughout the day unless restarted. And today having forgotten to recycle it yesterday I'm getting ready for a 3 hour drive to go power cycle it.
So I have a couple questions.
1) Have there been any new updates that may have occurred lately and is there anyway to roll back the updates if this is true?
2) I have a powerstrip ordered that can ping the mifi unit continously to see if its down and then powercycle the powerstrip its attached to. It can also do that every day at a certain time. I would have to take the battery out so when the power is cycled for 10 seconds it would shut off then back on.
The main question on this is, is there a way to have the mifi unit power back on in an active mode instead needing the button depressed to bring it back to life?
For information I'm about 5-7 miles from a tower and am using an external antenna with a 3 watt amplifier. It ha always preformed well, well until just before Xmas.
Thank you all for any help to a tricky situation!!

Hmm interesting on the power strip idea. I've written some software that can remotely manage my mifi (performing web requests to restart it). If I remove the battery from mine (only powered via usb or outlet) it just goes into an endless loop of powering on and then off again. How'd you get yours to stay powered on?
My software doesn't work when the mifi has crashed though

MiFi 4510L and Macbook Pro Retina

Hello,
Anyone get a new Retina MBP working with the 4510 MiFI unit?
This same MiFi works flawlessly with my other Macbook Pro (2009) but with the new Retina MBP I get a connection but no browing/internet access.
The password has been confirmed via review in the Keychain and any other WiFi networks I connect to work without issue.
Searched online and can not find others with a similar issue.
Any ideas on how it can connect to other networks but this one MiFi fails while the same MiFi network can be accessed via a different model MacBook Pro laptop???
Regards,
Steve

Steve,
What you are describing here is either a password problem or a incompatibility issue between your device and the default settings of the MiFi 4510L.
The first thing I would do is re-enter the WiFi password on your MacBook. Since I'm not a Mac guy I wont be able to tell you the steps necessary to accomplish that goal, but I'd bet you can figure it out.
If you can confirm that the WiFi password is getting entered correctly then the next step would be tweaking the MiFi. I'd suggest changing either the WiFi password to WPA or change the 802.11 wireless mode to B+G.
Remove/Change the WiFi password
Navigate to http://mifi.admin
Enter "admin" in the textbox in the upper right hand corner
Click the WiFi tab
Change the security of the device:
Change Selected Profile to Open Access
Change the Security from WPA2 to WPA or WEP
Update your WiFi password if necessary
Click Apply
Test your connection
Change the 802.11/Wireless Mode
Sign into your MiFi
Click the Wi-Fi tab
Change the 802.11 mode from B+G+N to B+G
Click Apply
Test your connection

MiFi 4510L and Airport extreme

I am in the 14 day trial period. I have 2 choices for broadband, cellular or satellite. After 8 years of satellite frustration, I am on day with MiFi. The speed is much better, even with G3.
Is there any way to use my airport extreme as the hub and wirelessly connect MiFi as another device. As it stands now I have to switch between MiFi and Airport, to browse the internet or to use my printer.
If I should have purchased a USB modem I could plug into the Airport? If so what's a good one?
Thanks

"I would like the MIFi modem to wirelessly connect to airport the way yet a third printer does"
MiFi's and home routers such as the AirPort do not have the ability to connect to each other wirelessly. Cascading requires a Ethernet Cable connection in order to bypass all of the wireless security protocols. In order to create a wireless connection a device must have a interface which allows the user to enter the wireless password and SSID. The MiFi does not have a interface to wirelessly connect to another router/hotspot/network, I presume the AirPort does not either. You will not be able to setup your network the way you want.
"would plugging in a USB modem into the hub or directly into airport device work?"
No. Again a device must have an interface which allows it to send credentials back to the service provider. Much like how you must sign into a VZW account before using a USB Modem on your laptop, a router must be able to complete the same steps. The only exception to this would be a wireless cradle which is specifically designed to be compatible with a USB modem. I am not familiar with AirPort routers but I assume the USB ports on the back of your AirPort are intended for File Sharing and not for USB Modems.

MiFi 4510l and VZAccess Manager

Having a heck of a time with 2 new MiFi's. I upgraded to the 4G 4510l on 2 exisiting lines on my account replacing older 3g MiFi's. These devices would not activate via the automated activation line. Brought them into the local VZ store where they were purchased. No go, they said I need to call tech support. Something about terms of service or conditions. I didn't fully understandt the explanation. Tech support says the devices are already activated. Not true. I am unable to get a wifi connection to the device but not out to the Internet. When I connect to the MiFi's web gui, you can see it trying to connect to the VZ network and then it says disconnected a few seconds later. I get a solid purple led light meaning 4g is detected but is not connected to the VZ network. Hmm, sounds like it's not activated despite being told otherwise.
After tech support said these devices were already activated I tried to setup a My Verizon account for them. Had to create a new My Verizon account because these devices were transferred to a business account. In order to get the temporary password for the new My Verizon account I was instructed to open VZ Access Manager to retireve the text message with the password. One problem, the 4510l is not supported in VZ ACCESS MANAGER!!!! At least that is what I'm finding when Googling "MiFi4510l VZAccess Manager". So, how the heck do they expect me to get the text message with the password if it's not compatible with vzam?
Beyond miffed! EVERY SINGLE MIFI/usb device I've ever purchased from Verizon has had activation problems. Our business has been through 8 mobile data devices over the last few years (new lines, upgrades, etc.) and not a ONE has ever activated without a HUGE hassle like this!
So, in review, how do I retireve a text message from a 4510l that does not connect to VZ Access Manager? Why are these devices not activating and why is tech support telling me they are activated?
Annoyed in VA!

If you are still having problems, please reply to the private message that I am sending you. I will call you to provide troubleshooting assistance.

HT4137 I have a new ipad and an old Iphone 3G I'm still using - Should I use the old Iphone to restore data to ipad or set up ipad as "new", which it is?

I have a new IPad and I'm trying to set it up - I don't know whether I should set it up as "new" (which it is) or use my
old IPhone 3G (which I still am using) to "restore" data to the Ipad - any suggestions?

Try restore from iPhone first. If you don't like the restore, you can setup your iPad to Factory Default.
Restore to Factory Default (setup as new):
Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings

VZW Messaging app continues to crash even after update, and several re-installs. Anyone else still having this problem, and know any fixes?

My messaging app crashes 5+ times each day, or causes my phone to lag until I restart it. Is anyone else still having these problems, even after the update?

the vz messaging app is garbage.Thats probably why no tech support people have replied to your question yet. I had similar issues & decided to disable it. May i suggest you download 'textra' or even hangouts?

Mifi 4510l and Windows Live Mail

I recently purchased the 4510l to use while I was on the road. On the first trip I had excellent connection/speed and signal throughout. My biggest problem is when accessing some of my mail servers (mainly Mediacom) I get error 0x800ccc0e on all accounts/tries. When I switch back to my home wifi WLM checks all 8 accounts with no problems. Using the 4510l I can access my mail thru webmail but that means logging in 8 different times where my client does it automatically. I did notice that one account in WLM (yahoo) does check and transfer so it seems to be a problem accessing mail.mchsi.com thru WLM using the 4510L. I have not changed any settings in WLM since it works fine on my home network and that's where I am usually at. I did do a firmware update (2.28.02) on the 4510 but same result. This is the same situation I get in when I am at my aunts and she has a competitor cable ISP. In that case both Imon and Mediacom don't admit to any blocking but refuse to troubleshoot. Any help/tips with the 4510L would be greatly appreciated!

Verizon can be blocking some of your ports you will need a static Ip address
Solution: $500

I have a MiFi 4510L and it is erratically going dormant while still having a green light.
