Intel iMac with Speedstream 5100 modem - problem with connection

I am running my internet/email using a Speedstream 5100 modem. My service is with SBC Yahoo (dsl line). My modem with stay up for a while and then at some point during the day decide not to work any more. I must turn it off and turn it back on (sometimes 3 or 4 times) to get it to work.
Is anyone else using this modem? Any problems with it? Should I call SBC and ask (or demand) a new modem???
Thanks!

rick,
Still having problems with my imac g4.
I called tech support today and I told them about all the problems that I was having. He had me put the current operating system disk that I was currently running on my computer and he had me run the utility file and nothing found.
Then he had me run the operating system disk that came with the computer but my computer froze up and I could not run it. He told me to take it in for service and that it was a hardware problem. After I hung up with the tech the computer started up and I ran the operating system disk and it said no problems with the hardware.
While the computer was still running,I got on the internet to go to the site that you listed above because I wanted to print a copy of the site to take with me tomorrow.
My computer froze up with 18 repeated lines of errors.
I will be taking it in for services tomorrow.
Will let you know what I find out.

I need to download dell drivers to a jumpdrive connected to my iMac. Will this cause problems with my Mac?

I need to download dell drivers to a jumpdrive connected to my iMac. Will this cause problems with my Mac?

Thanks. These drivers are for the audio, etc. for a dell laptop I purchased used. ( Needed something cheap for a training video that would only run on Windows. Tried Emedia player but picture was too fuzzy.) Dell support said I should contact Apple support for instructions on how to get the drivers onto the jumpdrive. Any tips on doing that?

I downloaded OS X Lion on my iMac and I'm having problems with my computer waking up after hibernating. I can get to the login screen but my mouse will be frozen. The only fix's is a hard reboot. Any help would be great!

Try resetting the SMC and the PRAM.
1. SMC
Read this and follow the instructions for your kind of mac:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
2. PRAM
Follow the procedure below:
1. Power down the machine.
2. Locate the following keys on your keyboard in preparation for Step 4:
command–option–P–R
3. Press the ‘power on’ button.
4. Immediately – and before the grey screen appears – hold down ‘command-option-P-R’ all together.
5. Keep them held down until you’ve heard the start-up chime twice. After you release them you should hear it again, and hopefully your Mac will boot up as it should normally.

My Intel iMac only shows a blinking folder with a question mark when powering it up. What can I do besides running the hardware test of the original installer disc.

My Intel iMac only shows a blinking folder with a question mark when powered up.
I did run the hardware test of the original installer disc and no trouble was found and I am out of options. Does anybody have any advice what to do next

If the drive shows errors then repair, if after the 3rd pass of Repair Disk in Disk Utility it still shows errors it's telling you it's time to be replaced. Take it to your local Apple Store or AASP for repair, when it comes back use your backup (either Time Machine or bootable clone) to restore so you can pick up where you left off.

Help with add file name problem with Photoshop CS4

Frustrating problem: Help with add file name problem with Photoshop CS4. What happens is this. When I am in PS CS4 or CS3 and run the following script it runs fine.

Since upgrading my Macbook pro with Yosemite, I have problem with my Xerox Work Centre 3045 - the printer works normally but it does not recognise the scanner, can you help with this?

Since upgrading my Mac book pro with Yosemite, I have problems with my Xerox Work Centre 3045 printer. The printer works normally but it does not recognise scanner, I can not scan anything. Can you help?

Open Disk Utility and select your hard drive, then Repair Permissions, it will probably return a very large number of errors, primarily printer and library errors, so run it a second time. Then restart the MacBook Pro. If it still will not scan, try using Image Capture from Finder > Applications and see if that will work. If not, contact Xerox about updated drivers.

Intel iMac won't recognize external display with Dynex mini-DVI adapter

I've got an original Intel iMac with a Mini-DVI connection on the back. I'm attempting to hook it up to an external display (a plasma screen, in fact). I picked up a Dynex Mini DVI to Video Adapter DX-AP100 for Apple. This connector has a mini-DVI connector on one end, and both a video-out and an S-video-out on the other.
When attempting to use the adapter, the iMac does not recognize that there is an external display connected. Here are the facts:
The external display: I've tried this with a Panasonic Plasma screen connected directly through S-video, as well as a Pioneer receiver (one that switches video) connected both through s-video and composite video. And yes, I've got the settings on the TV correct. I've also tried this with a Polaroid LCD TV connected via S-video and composite video.
I did notice that when I click "Detect Displays" while the Plasma was connected, the plasma briefly "flashed", implying SOMETHING was happening, but still no dice.
Anyone have any experience with this Dynex DX-AP100 that could share some wisdom?

Yeah, I realize S-video is limiting, but I'm trying to keep things as simple as possible. The TV is mounted to the wall and there are not currently any DVI or HDMI cables coming out of it. There's an S-video input from my receiver that I'd prefer to use since it's readily accessible already. In the end my goal is to use Netflix "Watch Now" on the TV, so I'm not too worried about video quality.
and before someone asks if I considered that the receiver's S-video input might be the problem...I tried taking the s-video wire from the stereo and plugging it directly into the adapter. No dice.
ONE ADDITIONAL PIECE of information...while trying to get this to work on an LCD monitor, I plugged the composite video connection from the TV into the adapter. Suddenly the Mac recognized an additional monitor, but it saw it as a VGA monitor, not as s-video or composite video, and no signal went to the TV.
I'm considering trading in this adapter for a mini-DVI to VGA adapter, but that really won't help me with the connection to the TV.

Modem problems with neo2 865pe (help?!)

I just upgraded my computer today with the exception of sound card/cdrw/dv/modem everything is new!~
My problem is that I have modemblaster ESS chip modem and I am running windowsXP SP1. Windows sees it using IRQ18!
I have onboard FD controller, LAN, Com1, LPT1 enabled,
I have disabled com2 and onboard sound.
I have 2 optical drivs using the ata66 connector and 1 serial ata 80gig HD using both in native mode.
When I try to connect to the internet the computer immediatly disconnects. My ISP (earthlink) says this is a windowsxp or motherboard(modem) issue that they won't help with.
I purchased these upgrades just for online gaming and now I cant even get online. Windows XP says com1 and com3 are active yet there is absolutely nothing installed. I haven't installed anything but INTEL INF drivers, new bios (tried 1.0 and 1.40) and windowsxp updates. The modem is using the latest driver as well.
Windows XP shows the modem and S-ata controller are both using IRQ18 and nothing I do to manualy change the irq for pci slots in bios seems to have any effect.
Thanks in advance

When I built my computer I think the exact same thing happened to me. I could dial up but as soon as it began authenticating it would immediately disconnect me. I had a broadxtnd modem (something like that), on a guess I tried buying a different modem a Zoom and it works just fine. I tried all of the PCI slots with the old modem and none of them worked, this new modem is working just fine.

IMac as an external display, problem with trackpad/mouse pairing

Hi,
I am trying to use the imac as an external display for a macbook air, which is well supported/advertised by apple.
I can toggle the display easily between the imac and the macookair, the problem I’m having is that I only have one wireless keyboard and one wireless trackpad. As I toggle the display, the paring/unpairing of both trackpad and mouse is a real hastle becuase I have to manually go into bluetooth preferences and adjust the settings for both devices.
Anyone using the imac as external display with an idea/suggestion how to make this process more friendly?
Thank in advance for any help.

I don't think you can. Wish I had better news. Target display mode for non-thunderbolt 27" Imacs worked OK. I have done it myself on a late 2009 iMac. The new iMacs can only go into target display mode when connected thunderbolt to thunderbolt. So a new macbook or macbook air can do the trick but your dell can't. What you can do is remote desktop or VNC to the dell. Now your dell screen will show up but in a smaller window.

I have just bought an imac and I am having problem with my camera. The image is kind of distorted and coloured lines everywhere. I have updated softwares and applications and restarted the computer but it didn't help. What to do?

what to do?

shauney,
From your description of the problem, it sounds like you have a hardware/camera defect. My recommendation is to return your imac to where-ever you bought it, and have them deal with, or replace your computer with one that functions as it is supposed to. You should not have to suffer with this situation on a new computer, although it does sometimes happen.

Possible internal modem problem with older iBook (Mac OS X 10.3.8)

I have an older iBook - from year 2000 or 2001. So its airport card is so old it's stopped reliably working & I don't know where I could find a replacement. In the meantime I want to get internet connection on it so I've tried plugging a phone cord from the wall outlet (that I always use succesfully for my desktop PC) into the laptop and typing in the phone #, account name and password of my desktop's internet account under "internal modem." BUT I keep getting a busy signal over & over when I dial up. I called my ISP & they thought it's a problem with my laptop's modem. I called Apple & they thought it's an issue with the ISP. Help?

Hi,
So its airport card is so old it's stopped reliably working & I don't know where I could find a replacement.
If you have been using an internal wireless network, the router (base station) should (normally) allow you to connect via an Ethernet cable from the corresponding port in the iBook as well.
BUT I keep getting a busy signal over & over when I dial up
Without knowing any details, this seems to indicate that the modem does work. Wrong number/own number? Have you checked that everything has been entered correctly according to the instructions from the ISP?
Could KB article # 106748 possibly be of any help here?

Internal modem problems with airport extreme

I have an airport extreme with an internal modem. I am unable to connect to the internet via the modem. also i can't print (hp 2200d) with my ubs port and airport. any suggestions will be helpful.

Open the AirPort Admin Utility.
Click on the Internet tab.
From the "Connect using:" menu select one of the modem options.
Then finish the configuration with the information from your dial-up ISP.
This information is in the "Designing AirPort Networks" document which can be found on the AirPort Support page.

3G BT Broadband Huawei Modem problem with Tecra M5 or XP

Please can you help?
I have a Huawei E180 USB stick for accessing mobile broadband that was issued by British Telecom (BT). I want to use it with my Toshiba Tecra M5 (Model PTM 50E - 013013EN) laptop running XP Professional (SP3).
When inserted it is recognised by XP as a Huawei device but its pre-installed driver software does not autoload.
When I manually install the drivers downloaded seperately via BT connection manager software, I receive a generic/non specific Windows hardware conflict warning and the device will unfortunately not complete install and function.
I have spoken at length with BT support but despite sending me a replacement device and checking USB power supply the problem persists and they have been unable to help resolve the issue and have left the problem with me to try and resolve simply saying I must have a problem with my laptop!
As far as I am aware my Toshiba laptop and XP operating system have the latest released updates and other USB devices such as flash storage and WinTV tuners all work perfectly when installed so please can you advise what else I can try or what further information I can supply for you to assist me?
The device does install and work as expected in another Windows Vista Home Premium PC.

Eureka...Success thanks to Google and Huawei support.
Having run a Huawei diagnostic tool and displayed hidden devices in device manager, I discovered old Fusion and Globetrotter 3G/GPRS drivers were still installed despite having been removed by the add/remove software utility. So I finally uninstalled them from device manager.
This must have helped avoid any potential conflicts however, I think the main issue was missing usb.inf and usb.pnf files from windows\inf once I obtained them from another XP SP3 PC (a known good install) and put them in that folder, rebooted, reinstalled BT connection manager and rebooted again.
Then as soon as I inserted USB dongle it did everything it says on the tin!
So in the end a relatively simple fix in a matter of minutes....What a pity then since the end of July, I have had to sweat blood and tears myself, facing the wrath of 'the financial director' for wasting our money and my time, to eventually find a solution from Huawei (the manufacturer/supplier of the BT device) when BT Helpdesk could/should surely have got this answer quicker themselves and I bet this is a solution that many others will find resolves their problems as well. What a waste of hours and hours on the phone to BT Mobile Helpdesk.
Still a couple of minor glitches (do I really need 3 or 4 clients (2 at least from BT) trying to manage my wireless client?) and Desktop Help doesn't even support the 3G BT mobile device so why does it insist on trying to when I lose a signal?
Hey ho, rant mode over, the good news is I still have 4 or 5 days to use my 1GB 'free' allowance for this month. Finally, thanks to Tim Naish and Archibald Duffer on BT forum for their time and hope they find this solution of interest.

Intel imac G5, Safari and Godaddy problems

I have an intel imac G5 with OS 10.4.5 with Safari 2.0.3 and can not access my GoDaddy hosted website directly or with forwarding (on or off)...
I can however access the GoDaddy hosted website with my imac G5 (non-intel) with the same version Mac OS and Safari and with a Windows computer.
I can only assume this is a problem with my intel imac?
Another weird problem...my site is still on an SBC webhosting.com hosting server and I can only access the SBC hosted site with Safari not the Godaddy site. SBC has not cancelled the account and has not taken the old site down as of yet.
I have tried clearing the cache, Firefox, and pinging the godaddy site ip address.
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

very strange...right after I posted, I received an intel mac security upgrade...installed it and the problem was fixed...wow...
sorry for the post...
