I need help getting a Novatel Wireless Merlin S720 to work on my G4 PB

I need help with "Sprint Mobile Broadband Card Novatel Wireless Merlin S720.
I have a Mac PowerBook G4 running 10.4.8 as follows:
Machine Name: PowerBook G4
Machine Model: PowerBook3,3
CPU Type: PowerPC G4 (2.1)
Number Of CPUs: 1
CPU Speed: 667 MHz
L2 Cache (per CPU): 256 KB
Memory: 1 GB
Bus Speed: 133 MHz
Boot ROM Version: 4.2.9f1
I was told by a "Sprint PCS Level 2" Tech that if
I got one of the "Sprint" cards that I would have to
set it up on a "Windows" Laptop and then call a
"Sprint PCS Level 2" tech and have them walk me
through setting it up on my PowerBook G4...
I purchased a "PanTech PX500"... set it up on my
"Windows" laptop and called to be told that I should
have purchased a "Novatel S720" and the the "PanTech"
would NOT work in my Powerbook...
I took the "PanTech" back and finally (after of month of looking
for one in a Sprint Store to no avail) ordered on from Sprint's
Tel-Sales unit...
When it arrived I set it up on my "Windows" laptop and called
back to a Sprint Level 2 Tech... I got a tech that was very helpful,
however, was NOT able to get the "Novatel S720" to work... He
told me I should have purchased a "PanTech PX500"!!!
This morning I went to a "Sprint Store" and was told that they had
sold several "Novatel S720's" to Mac owners and suggested that
I keep the "Novatel S720" and even though they could not set it up
on my Mac... they suggested that I call back to another Level 2 tech...
Is there anyone out there that can help me get this working???
Many Thanks In Advance!!!
THX

I went to the Sprint Store in St Peters MO and one of the Sprint
Associates told me that she had sold several Sprint cards including
20 or so S720's to a customer of her's..
A large graphics house based in St Louis.
She emailed the Senior VP there and ask that he contact me
if he could/would help...
I received an email from him in less than 4 hours and he
directed me to their in-house tech dept!
I called and talked to the person that he had directed me to
and that person told me that it was a little tricky... You have to do
some modification of the "Code" in the Kernel...
He said if would bring my Mac & the card over the next day
at 10AM it would take him about 10 minutes to get me up and
running!!!
I ask what the charge would be??? He said... "The Boss is a
real Mac Guy... Just Bring it over and we'll get you fixed
up!!! It's a Mac thing!!!"
It works Great!!! I've used it in several areas around the MidWest
and my next road trip will include IN, IL, MO (KC), KY, TN, AL, FL,
GA and SC... That will be the test!!!
I'm finding that I'm able to get on line with the Sprint Card in places
that I don't get very good Sprint PCS Cel service...Must be the
Sprint/NEXTEL combination!
I've been a Mac owner/user/teacher since early '84... It's
GREAT to me a Mac Person!!!
Thanks for your reply and taking the time to help!!!
THX

TS4268 I need help getting my face time and imessage to work.

I need help getting my face time and imessage to work. It is saying wating for activation. I just got my iphone 5 2 days ago. I have reset it from the phone and from itunes on the computer, made sure I'm attached to wifi.

The 3 basic troubleshooting steps are these in order: 1. Restart your iphone 2. Reset your settings/iphone 3. Restore your iphone. Since your iphone is only a couple of days old, you should backup your device before restoring. If you don't have anything on your iphone that you care to lose, then simply restoring without a backup is fine. A quick reset of pressing the sleep/wake button (top of iphone) and your home button simultaneously and holding it until the silver Apple logo appears.

Brand new Mac user, needs help getting Mac onto Wireless Print Server

Ladies & Gents,
After much struggle with PCs in the last two weeks I finally broke down and bought a MacBook. I'm very happy with it, but I am having issues getting hooked into my office's wireless printing network.
The printer is an HP Color Laserjet 3600n and we're set up with a D-Link DPR 1260 router. I've tried just about everything I know, and even our much-more-qualified-than-I resident Mac user is unsure how to make this work.
I will continue to search the forum, but I would appreciate any help. I should be off and on throughout most of the day. Thanks!

I have Photoshop Elements 12 that was purchased for my Windows 8 system in July of 2014. I have never been able to get the organizer to work. I need help getting this portion of the program to work. I would like to talk with an Adobe tech.

How is it that I can download and use Photoshop Elements 12 program editor and not have access to the organizer???

Hi,
The two applications (organizer & editor) can work independently and only talk to each other when they need to.
Are you updating from a previous version or is this the first?
There are (at least) three ways of starting the organizer:-
1) from the Welcome screen
2) from the editor - see button at the bottom of the editor window
3) directly using windows explorer to locate and double click on the following
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 12 Organizer\PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe"
[ignore the (x86) part if on 32bit system]
Can you get any of those ways to work? Do you get any error message or does nothing happen?
You could try creating a new catalog to see if that helps.
Start the organizer (in any of the ways) with the Shift key held down while it loads (if it does). That should bring up the catalog manager
Click on the New button (top right)
Give it a name like Dummy or Test and click on OK - that should create & open a blank catalog

Novatel Wireless Merlin X950D not working with Snow Leopard

I've just upgraded my MacBook Pro to Snow Leopard and my Merlin X950D 3G broadband card has stopped working.
When I insert the card sometimes it's detected but won't connect, sometimes it's detected but only after being inserted for some time (5 mins or longer) and still won't connect, other times it's just not being detected at all.
I've tried on a clean install of Snow Leopard using the built-in WWAN drivers and I've also tried with Novatel's drivers. In both cases I've tried booting Snow Leopard in 32 and 64 bit modes. Can't think what else to do; has anyone got any ideas?

I found a solution.
Download the older Novatel drivers (2.2.3) from this site:
http://www.nvtl.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=174:macosxtiger -novatelevdo&catid=42:mac-installation-i
After a reboot, your modem will work fine. Something in the 3.0 drivers is incompatible with Snow Leopard.

I need help getting itunes on my new computer. old one crashed

My old computer crashed, I downloaded iTunes on my new computer and need help getting all of my stuff on it that I had. I did 'home share' to see if that worked, and it didnt.
Also, on my old computer, when I synced my iPad & my husbands iPod, it didnt sync any music or podcasts, no videos-and i went through each category seperately to sync it and it didnt work. So I can't sync my devices to the new iTunes bc not everything is on there that i have purchased.

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your comuter for just this occasion. Use your backup copy to put everything on the new computer.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup, not good, then you can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

My old iMac and OS 10.4 will not accept the New iTunes Version 10 application and I can't get past the screen offering to download iTunes 10. This is wrong and I need help getting past this situation. Help!

My old iMac and OS 10.4 will not accept the New iTunes Version 10 application and I can't get past the screen offering to download iTunes 10. This is wrong and I need help getting past this situation. Help!

Sure, you can get around it if you don't need the newest version of iTunes. I still use version 7.5 because the newer versions didn't strike me as offering anything I needed.
If you do need a version 10-something then you will have to upgrade your operating system to Leopard (fi your computer will support it) at least. If you need 10.5 for some reason then there's no getting around it, you will have to buy a new computer.
