Mac pro dial up connection

i have macpro 10.5.5 i want to connect it to dial up internet connection but my mac does not have a port for dial up? is there a way to connect either with USB or other ports?

Welcome to the forums! There are various USB modems out there that you can use to do this , astana5lion.
Apple no longer sell their own, but this one will do the job.

  • Mac Pro won't connect to Ethernet

    My Mac Pro will not connect to the internet, but it connects to Wifi via my comcast modem.
    the modem was switched out today, but I couldn't connect before that - which is why they came and replaced my modem.
    The lights in the Diagnostics window say:
    Ethernet: connected
    Wifi: connected
    ISP: Fail
    Internet: Fail
    Server: Fail
    Any ideas?

    Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    Note: You need an always-on Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection to the Internet to use Recovery. It won’t work with USB or PPPoE modems, or with proxy servers, or with networks that require a certificate for authentication.
    From the OS X Utilities screen, select Get Help Online. A clean copy of Safari will launch. No plugins, such as Flash, will be available. While in Recovery, you'll have no access to your saved bookmarks or passwords, so make a note of those before you begin, if they're needed for the test.
    Test. After testing, reboot as usual and post the results.

  • TS3048 My early 2009 Mac Pro does not connect via bluetooth to my sound bar or bluetooth mini speakers. Both my wireless keyboard and mouse have no problems connecting. What do I need to do to connect to external bluetooth devices?

    My early 2009 Mac Pro does not connect via bluetooth to my sound bar or bluetooth mini speakers. Both my wireless keyboard and mouse have no problems connecting. What do I need to do to connect to external bluetooth devices?

    I would always have a wired keyboard and mouse on hand (need not be expensive ... any cheap wired devices will work).  "Emergency recovery" procedures can activate features in random order, so the opportunity to select a recovery partition may pass before the wireless devices are recognized.
    That will let you select the "turn on Bluetooth" icon.

  • Do you know how to keep my mac pro air to connect automatically to wifi

    I have problem keeping my Mac pro air to connect automatically to wifi .

    It depends on what your settings are set at.
    Are you talking about to your own Network, or are you talking about recognising and connecting to Hot Spots.
    Go up to the left of the date and you will see the Airport Icon single click it and it should give you the Networks that you are in range of, You connect by choosing the network you want to join. If you need more info be more specific what you need.

  • My Mac Pro won't connect to Wifi?

    My Mac Pro won't connect to the Wifi that it has been for the past 2+ years. All other devices in our home that use the same Wifi are working just fine.

    Tried doing Network Diagnostics multiple times, did not work. Keeps saying it can't connect or times out.
    What color was the light pertaining to Wifi in the left column?  Red, Green, or Yellowish/Orange?
    Some of the following you may have already tried:
    Try the basics first:
       Change your router channel number.  Most times this works & is all you have to do.
    Disconnect & reconnect your modem.  unplug it for about 10 seconds.  Plug it back in.  Do the same for Apple’s routers.  Wait for everything to reboot.
    System Preferences>Network
    Click the Assist Me button.
    In the next window that pops up, click the Diagnostic button & do the necessary.

  • 2008 Mac Pro keeps losing connection to my Plex Blu-ray burner

    my 2008 Mac Pro keeps losing connection to my Plex Blu-ray burner.  It is installed in the second optical drive bay.  If I power down, pull the connections to the drive and re-attach, the drive is again recognized on boot.  A day later, no drive found.  The first optical (top bay) drive never loses connection.  Any thoughts?

    Disable drive sleep in the Energy Saver system preference.

  • Mac pro no longer connects to web via internet sharing

    My Mac Pro does not have an airport card so I have often used a PowerBook G4 or MacBook Pro to share a wireless internet connection via ethernet. A few months ago this method began failing but I was able to share a connection via firewire. Now I am not able to do either.
    I have attempted to use both the mbp and the pbg4 to no avail using both ethernet and firewire for days, employing various troubleshooting methods including zapping PRAM, repairing permissions, and dumping network cache. I've tried static IP addresses and manual setups. The mac pro shows that it is connected to a network and displays all the proper IP information but is unable to load a web page and the diagnostics window shows an ISP, server, and internet failure regardless of any changes I make to network settings on it or the mbp/pbg4. Meanwhile, the laptops are connected to the internet just fine and are able to share a connection with each other.
    What can I do to make my tower susceptible to internet sharing once again?

    Your local LAN runs through your router.
    All your ethernet  ports, and your modem and router, should be behind and filtered from excess current. That means a UPS generally. And run input line thru UPS (coax) first, then run RJ45 back through UPS again (there can still be excess surge or current on the line).
    Modems and routers can be compromised by surge outage or storm. So can ethernet  ports.
    You have two ethernet ports and you tried with both also.
    What you did not do that I would have added is SMC Reset / Reset NVRAM/PRAM.
    This is what I have had for the last year, very nice and stronger  signals thruout the house.

  • Mac Pro no longer connects to network via ethernet.

    Since coing back from Thanksgiving break and my Mac Pro 1,1 will no longer connect to my router through via ethernet.  This means I can neither connect to internet nor connect to devices like my laptop and Apple TV.  Strangely, I can still connect to my Mac Pro from these devices to share screen, play audio/video through iTunes, etc.  In Network Settings, I still have a green dot, and I still get an IP address assigned (though I usually use a fixed IP).  If I go into my router (Netgear WNDR4000), the router tells me that the Mac Pro 1,1 is connected to the network.
    I already have tried the following solutions:
    · Restarting router, modem, and computer
    · Making a new location in Network Settings
    · Trying different ethernet ports
    Please Help!

  • Mac Pro Drops Wireless Connection to Airport Extreme

    I have a Mac Pro and every time I leave the machine for several hours when I return the Airport signal strength indicator is blank and I have to re-choose my network name to get back on the network.
    As background, my Mac Pro is setup to never go to sleep as it is hosting some web sites, the only thing that sleeps is the display, so I don't think it is any kind of issue on wake from sleep . . . it just drops the signal at some point.
    Has anyone ever heard of this kind of issue? It has always been this way and I just moved my Mac Pro to a location in my house where a wired connection is no longer feasible so I really want to try and resolve it... THANKS
    Mac Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    Slow connections, weak signal, dropped, lost signal after sleep...
    While Apple has a good "troubleshooting networking" the Mac Pro using Wireless has had more of its own. I would pick up a Netgear router, go wired.

  • Mac Pro slow to connect to internet after waking

    Since I upgraded to Lion my mid-2011 2.8 GHz Mac Pro takes about 10-15 seconds to connect to the internet. After waking from sleep in the past, I could launch my web browser and it was connected immediately. It is bad for my email. It is set to check every 2 minutes and I get a huge log of connection errors. I am using the ethernet port with a direct connect to the modem. I also have a wireless router for my MBP and it connects immediately through Airport. Why is my direct connect slower than Wi-Fi?

    Sometimes if you set your Ethernet connection to Automatic, rather than specifying the speed you know it will connect at, it will spend several seconds re-negotiating speeds, duplex, flow control, etc with the connected equipment.
    For fastest wake times, know what speed it will ultimately settle on, and set that as the speed it should use.
    System preferences > Network > Ethernet > ( Advanced ) > Ethernet ...
    set Manually: speed, duplex, and frames size.

  • Mac Pro Lion & Default Connect To 5Ghz Airport Extreme

    Hi there
    I just got an Airport Extreme last week, setting it up to have a dedicated 5Ghz network as well as the 2.4Ghz one...
    My Mac Pro is set up to only remember the 5Ghz, to ask me to join new network and not to remember networks I join... it's also configured to require admin password to change networks... all of this is done in an effort to prevent it from joining the 2.4Ghz network, yet it still does sometimes when I reboot my Mac or the base station itself...
    In addition, despite having 'Remember Networks' de-selected, it still remembers the 2.4Ghz...
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!
    -Justin

    So I should name the '5Ghz network name' as the exact name as my 2.4Ghz network?
    As a test, yes. That is also Apple's recommended default setting for the AirPort Extreme....designed to deliver the best performance for most users. Devices automatically choose the best connection quality this way.
    It actually seems that you can't do this... going under 'Wireless Options' and trying to name the 5Ghz network with the same SSID as the 2.4Ghz results in it renaming itself after the update to the default Apple specifies (i.e, 2.4Ghz name 5Ghz)...

    I thought that I wanted to separate my N devices from the rest of the network so as to achieve max speed
    "n" devices operate on both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. Not sure what you mean by "separating" them.  Some "n" 2.4 GHz devices cannot connect to 5 GHz, so you would want them to connect to "n" speeds on 2.4 GHz.
    If you find 5 GHz faster at all Mac locations, then you'll have to continue to look for a way to insure that the Mac always connects to 5 GHz. As it stands, it appears that the Mac "thinks" that 2.4 GHz may be the better connection, and it may need some convincing to think otherwise.
    That's true, but my understanding (and experience) is that if you connect any 'g' or 'b' devices to the 2.4Ghz network, any 'n' device will have its performance degraded... for instance, in my case, when connected to the 2.4Ghz, my Finder copies were around 3MB/s - on the 5Ghz, they were closer to 6MB/s
    I thought that the preferred networks order was to specify preference, regardless of network strength... I guess not, though... although, maybe something is amiss because I do have it configured to require a password when changing networks and it doesn't do that at all... even when I change them manually...
