Mac Book use on wireless broadband(EVDO)

I'm considering buying a new mac book.Wonder if anyone has experience with mac book on wireless broadband(Verizon,Sprint,Alltell,etc).Any info or advise would be appreciated.
mac mini Mac OS X (10.4) considering purchase of new mac book

I don't know which carrier you use... but Sprint does offer two USB wireless modems:
See this link
Of course you'll have to look around to see if they have drivers/software for OS X.

I have an epson xp600 and a mac book pro. Wireless printing is OK if I'm lucky for one time only then a 'failed to connect' message so I have to delete and re add the printer to get it working again (but just once!) then the same occurs. Why?

I am not certain this will fix your problem but I suggest you assign the printer a static IP address.
Using the printer's front panel, select Menu > Network > WLAN > TCP/IP > Boot method, and change it to "static". Provide a static IP address that is on your LAN's subnet.
For example, if you are using an AirPort Extreme, you might give it an IP address of 10.0.1.100. If you are using a Netgear or Linksys router that defaults to issuing 192.168.x.x addresses, you might give it an address of 192.168.1.100. That way, the printer will always "reside at the same address" on your network. If your router has the ability, you should reserve that address so that the router does not attempt to assign it to another DHCP device.
Then, go to System Preferences > Print & Scan, and delete your existing printer with the "–" (minus) button. Add it again, using the "+" (plus) button. In the window that appears, select the IP pane, and from the Protocol menu select "Line Printer Daemon (LPD)". In the Address field type the IP address you gave your printer.
If all goes well the "Pring Using" field will detect the printer at that address and automatically select the appropriate driver. You will see something similar to the following screenshot ("name" can be whatever you decide, and "location" is optional):
Click Add, then you can close System Preferences.
There are other possible reasons your printer is "not responding" which could include wireless interference from competing wireless networks, but try this "static IP" method first. It should mitigate the problem.

I have been using WRT54G wireless broadband router and WU...

I have been using WRT54G wireless broadband router and WUSB54G on my home PC for the last 2 years. It was working fine until recently I encountered serious connection problem.
The WUSB54G cannot connect with WRT54G.
Error message " Cannot assocaite with the access point.
I have checked the followings to try and solve the problem.
1) Refresh site survey the WUSB54G does not show my SSID, but it can show my neighbour'sSSID.
3) When I use my notebook with built-in wireless network adaptor to access wirelss broadband there is no problem at all. I can access my SSID.
4) I have try reseting the WRT54G and changing password but still can not solve the problem.
5) Uninstall and re-install
5) I have installed a new USB adapter (WUSB54GG) thinking that it could be the old WUSB54G is faulty. But still encounter same problem.
I am using Window XP Professional. What could be the problem?
Please provide your professional advice. Thank you.

After update to Snow Leopard, I can no longer print from my Mac Book using my HP D110 but can still print from the web

Hello -
Earlier this week, I updated my Mac Book to Snow Leopard and am now having printing problems. I have an HP Photosmart D110. I have downloaded and installed the driver update. I have deleted and re-installed the printer. I have run the wireless network test (everything passed). I configured th settings on the HP EPrint website. I have shut down and re-started the computer several times. I checked for software updates.
The printer is *recognized* on the Mac Book, iPhone and the iPad. It shows up under the SysPref menu. I have been able to print coupons from the Coupons.com app using the iPhone and iPad, but I can't print from the computer itself. The printer icon opens and it indicates the document was sent but nothing comes out. I'm not sure what I'm missing?!

Also try powering the printer off for about 10 minutes.

Mac Book Pro crashes wirelessly - Error Report Enclosed

I have a brand spankin' new Mac Book Pro. When I attempt to surf it wirelessly it crashes whether I'm surfing the web or even doing Software Update. It doesn't crash when I'm using the ethernet cable (at least I don't think I haven't tested it for hours upon hours that way.)
I am using Safari and I've seen some posts that Safari isn't working wirelessly. However, my computer crashes even when I'm doing Software Update and not just Safari.
I'm using a Belkin Wireless Router however I have a G5 tower with an Airport card installed and another Powerbook G4 with Airport card installed. They have no problems at all. It's only my MacBook Pro.
I can surf wirelessly for 5-10 minutes and then the screen fades to black and I get an error message that says you must Shut Down your computer or hit the Restart Button. (Where is the restart button by the way?)
When I shut down the computer and reboot I get a prompt that shows me this error message.

Hi
You're not the only one with this problem... Thread
No solutions there; but you will be more likely to get help in one of the MacBook Pro forums.

How do i print from my mac book using printer connected to my Imac

I am trying to print from my Mac book by using the printer connected to my Imac however i keep getting a notice which says
Authentication required.what am i missing? I set them up to share printing but something is wrong

Before trying to figure out if I can help or not, a bit more specific information is needed:
1. You list an iMac G5 in your profile - is that the iMac you are using? In that case, you'd get more knowledgeable answers in the G5 forums (this is an Intel iMac forum). If you have an Intel, please give more details (model, etc).
2. What model/make printer? Does it have wireless capabilities?
3. What model/make router? Or are you simply trying to use the built in Airport from your iMac? In that case, do you have printer sharing enabled on both machines? If so, did you create a network? For detailed info on that, use the Help Menu in Finder and type in Network - one of the subjects available will be "creating a computer-to-computer network". It contains instructions on how to create it including a password (authentication).
You might also try to use the search function on this forum and type in "printer sharing". There are many threads, some of which might be useful to you.

I want to set up my mac book as a wireless router for other computers to connect on

I already used my macbook as a wireless router but these days when i try to set it up through the internet sharing column in system preferences the up arrow signal shows for a second does not show anymore making my wireless invisible to other pcs and the green icon to show internet sharing is up stays on . How do i go about this and sort this problem . My Mac OS X is 10.9.3 . Thanks

Hello Francinette Pestana. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Have you already checked with your Virgin ADSL ISP on, whether or not, they can provide you with an Ethernet modem or combination modem/router? This would be the most straightforward path to a solution.

Mac Book Pro, Blackberry, Wireless Connect w/ Verizon

Hi! I need to set up the wireless internet service using my blackberry. I know I need to subscribe w/ Verizon, but what else? The Verizon directions on the website talk about loading some CD onto the PC. Where do I get this CD, and does that mean I always have to run my Windows side when connecting this way?
Thanks!!!

You can "tether" your BlackBerry device to your MacBook via Bluetooth. First, have your BlackBerry discoverable, then have the Bluetooth setup assistant on your MacBook to look for Phones. Once it sees the BB, you will have to enter a security code on the BB in order to pair the two devices. Next, you have to setup the Bluetooth device as a modem, and use Verizon Support (PC 5220) as the modem selection. Your username will me your BB telephone number (10 digits) @ vzw3g.com and your password will be vzw I have a BB 8830 and a MacBook Pro and can surf the internet on the MacBook in any location where I have Verizon Service. If your service is with a different carrier, you will have to use different details. Good luck. There are many good postings on the net regarding this, just Google what you need for more information, or call your provider.

Hp Printer B110a not connecting to Mac Book Pro via wireless router.

Help anybody, I am not sure which is the connection problem my MBP or the HP printer. Anyway here goes, I have spent the last five days trying to set up my 'wireless HP photosmart All in one printer B110a'.
I have followed all the installation set up correctly but when it comes to the wireless IP settings configuration page, at set up wireless network, I unplug the USB cable from the MBP and printer as instructed by the installer and I keep getting a message saying:
DEVICE NOT REACHABLE
The network configuration was successfully downloaded to the device. However to continue configuring the device in network, your Mac must have access to the device. So please make sure that your Mac has access to the Network : "eircom66830833" and retry.[/b]
I have checked over and over and my MBP is connected to this network otherwise I would not be able to access the internet and look at Mac Rumors at the moment.
Not sure if it helps but my Router is a Zyxel model number: P-660HW-T1 v3, I live in Ireland and my internet service provider is 'Eircom'. I have been in touch with my service provider for some help but it was useless.
Any information or advice would be appreciated I have been on the phone to technical advisers at HP which is a joke they are useless. I phoned them three days in a row for two hours each day six hours of useless help and buy the way never agree to a call back session as thy never call you back.
I phoned the apple care technicians on Friday and again no joy the tried everything even a fresh install of the Mac OSX. They said that if there was no further help from HP on Monday I should try and return it to apple but the technician was not sure if they would allow a return as it lapsed beyond the return date.
Sorry for the long rant but this is no joke
Thanks
Kind Regards
Jenko

Sometimes DSL providers have more control over the router than the printer likes.
- Unplug the telephone line from the router
- Turn the power off on the router, wait 30 seconds, then turn the power back on.
- Go through the normal process of connecting the printer to the router.
- Now find the IP address of the printer (it should be on the self-test printout), type it into a browser.
- On that screen you will find a Networking Tab, then on the left Wireless, then the IPv4 Tab.
- On this screen you want to set a Manual IP. You need to set an IP address outside the range that the router automatically sets (called the DHCP range). If you know what that is, set an IP outside that range but no higher than 254 (the last number in the address). If you do not know, use the current IP address.
- Use 255.255.255.0 for the subnet (unless you know it is different, if so, use that)
- Leave the gateway and DNS blank
- Finally, plug in the phone line, reboot the router and test.

Mac book pro retina wireless drivers

I have mbp retina early 2013 (i7, 2.4GHz, 256GB ssd). I wanted to use windows 7 on the same machine. so I installed it but the wireless card was not been recognized (i downloaded and installed bootcamp drivers but nothing). Do you have a solution?

So you say there is no Network option showing in the left pane?? That is strange....
Have you tried to click on the "Assist me" button at the bottom of the window? Try that and see if it will connect you. Or you may need to contact your ISP to make sure your connection is valid.
And, another thought: you have a Thunderbolt to ethernet adapter?
FWIW, I've asked the hosts to delete your email address; it is best not to post personal info in an open forum.

iBooks are only supported on mobile devices (iPhone, iPad etc). This is not available yet on a mac.

Mac Book will no longer join wireless home network

I am having ongoing problems with getting my 2.0G black Mac Book to connect to my wireless home internet and network.
For the first six weeks I had my Mac Book it connected to the network without difficulty. I have a Belkin modem/router, a PC which connects wirelessly and also an airport express on my stereo for airtunes, which was also wirelessly connected. The network was WPA Personal encrypted.
The Mac Book will connect to other wireless networks without any difficulty.
About 3 days ago my Mac Book stopped connecting to my home network - the network name is visible in the airport list but when I tried to connect by entering the WPA password it rejected the password or it returned an "error joining the airport network". The PC and airtunes were still connecting without a problem. It was just the Mac Book that would not connect.
I adjusted the network settings to remove WPA security and the Mac Book then connected easily. However I was not happy about leaving my network unencrypted or unsecured, so I attempted to secure the network again using WPA. Once again,the PC or airtunes joining the network with WPA but the Mac Book would not accept the WPA Password.
I have read as many forum posts as I could find to get all the possible troubleshooting tips on this problem. Here's what I've tried:
1. Deleting the network from my preferred network list and deleting the password from my keychain, then adding it afresh after rebooting the router and the Mac Book
3. Renaming the ESSID to a shorter name
4. Downloading Airport Extreme Update 2007-002
5. Toggling airport on and off
6. Using the $ in front of the WPA Passkey (even though that is a fix for the WEP passwords only)
7. Removing the battery (yes, someone said it worked for them!)
I had no success in getting the Mac Book to connect to the WPA encrypted network (even though it was doing so easily last week!). I then resigned myself to removing the WPA security so that I could at least get an unsecured internet connection on the Mac Book (I was thinking I could deal with the security by hiding the ESSID and using MAC filtering - not ideal, but perhaps the next best solution).
Tonight I removed the WPA security and now the Mac Book will not even connect to the unsecured network. My network ESSID is visible in the airport menu but when I select it - I get the "error connecting to the Airport network' message. I have tried all the usual fixes again (deleting network and passwords and keychains, rebooting router and MacBook etc) but it will not connect to my network. It will, however, connect to my neighbour's unsecured network just fine.
As far as I can deduce, the problem is with how the Mac Book sees my wireless network. The PC is connecting to the network. The Mac Book is connecting to other networks. Have I muddied the waters in my Mac Book through the various fixes I have tried? If so, how can I fix it so that it connects to my unsecured network as easily as it connects to next door's?
Forget about trying to secure the network with WPA for now, I just want to get an unsecured connection at the very least.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for your suggestions.
I've looked into the problem a bit further and I think I can trace it to the OS X 10.4.9 updates and the 2007-002 Airport Update downloads. My difficulties accessing the WPA network began after I downloaded the most recent OS X updates. After I downloaded 2007-002 update (designed to make it EASIER to access third party wireless routers! Joke!) I wasn't even able to connect to the unsecured network.
It appears I am not alone with this problem - many others have complained of losing connectivity after downloading these updates. There is a relatively difficult and risky way to uninstall the updates but I have reservations about messing with the OS, and I fear the same problem will arise with future updates.
Because I am now so sick of mucking around trying to fix this and there doesn't seem to be a fix on the horizon, I have solved the problem by buying an airport express and ditching the belkin router. I have now re-established the network without any problems using the airport express. So much for Macs being simple and compatible - the reality is a long way behind the impressive tv advertising.

Mac book trouble connecting to wifi

My router was old and we received a new one. My mac book used to recognize my router and now will not connect. All the other devices now connect to the new router except the laptop. Is there something special that I need to do?

Make sure you are connecting to the proper network with the supplied wireless network key on the side of the modem. If you are and all other devices are connecting except this one it may be an issue with that PC, like the wireless card is turned off (some laptops have a switch you can turn on and off). If you can connect that laptop to a wired connection and it gets internet i would suggest you check with the manufacture. Could be the wireless being turned off, or the entire network card is bad.
