Macbook cannot detect D-Link DWM-156(A7) USB modem after upgrading to OS X Yosemite ver 10.10

Hi
My MacBook Pro 13" is unable to detect D-Link DWM-156(A7) USB modem once I open the D-Link Connection Manager app (to connect to the internet) even though the USB is plugged in.
The MacBook is able to detect the USB at first, but once after I open the D-Link Connection Manger, it can no longer detect the USB Modem and a notification which says "No USB Modem Connected" pops up.
This problem only surfaced after I upgraded the Macbook to OS X Yosemite ver 10.10. I tried to solve the problem by restarting the Mac but the same problem still arise.
What do i do?
Thanks in advance.
Regards

I figured it out!
I had the same problem with the dongle sent to me by Telkom South Africa.
Mine was D-Link Model: DWM-157. Here's how I fixed it.
I basically flashed or updated the firmware on the dongle to the latest one I got from the D-Link website.
1. You need access to a PC (Windows computer).
2. Go to: http://www.dlink.com/uk/en/support/product/dwm-157-3g-hspa-plus-usb-adapter
3. Scroll down and download firmware version 4.5.4.7
4. Once download is complete, move over to your windows PC. Plug in the D-Link USB dongle.
5. Run the firmware update on the Windows PC while the USB Dongle is plugged, Follow the prompts, it takes a little while, sometimes it seems like it is stuck but be patient. Once its done it will ask you to press any key to continue.
6. After the install, pull out the dongle and plug it back in, sometimes the device installation prompt will appear. If so, rerun the device installation again. Wait for all the drivers to install. If not open d-link connection manager on your windows PC and test if it is able to make a connection to the internet. If the test was successful go to #7 below.
7. Go to your Mac. Uninstall the current D-Link connection manager your have.
8. Plug the USB Dongle back, the installation prompt will pop up again.
9. Go through the installation steps and a prompt will pop up asking you to restart, restart your machine.
10. Run D-Link connection manager and you can now get to the connection screen. Wait a while for network to be found.
11. Click connect.
12. Come back here and tell us if this worked for you. It certainly worked for me.

  • Cannot detect D-Link DWM-156 3G modem

    Hi,
    I was using the above modem in snow leopard. After upgrading to Lion, it cannot establish the 3G connection. So i deleted the modem hoping to reinstall it. However, after I delete the apps, Lion can't detect the modem and let me install the application again. Not sure if there is some extra things I need to do to get rid of the modem totally for the detection to happen, or I can try other stuff to get it working again?

    Same problem here, but with Macbook Pro 15"
    I've upgraded the d-link usb dongle with the latest firmware to see if it would work, but still nothing. Not even in another Mac computer(Snow Leopard and Lion)
    It works on a windows pc only.
    Also tried  USB Prober (Mac Developing tools) and still nothing.
    No clue on how to solve this...
    Sorry to use kitkai 's post, but it's the same problem and probably the same solution.
    Anyone?
    Thanks in advance.

    This is likely because your C# strings are unicode (wide). Use one-byte strings.

    You showed a kernel panic file from OS X, apprantly Log Me In is installed into OS X or running when you log in.
    You should be using the developers installer/unistaller to remove Log Me In from OS X.
    Somehow it's in OS X, I don't know, but it's there and you need to remove it. I'm not dealing with Windows, just OS X.
    Talk to Log Me In people and find out what is installed where so you can do a manual deletion out of OS X.
    If that doesn't work, you have to reboot holding the Shift key down manually search for any Log Me In or Himachi files on your computer, in your System/Library/Extensions folder too, use the free Easy Find.

  • Wi-Fi: Nohardware installed after upgrading to OS X Yosemite on a MacBook Air

    My MacBook Air lost the WiFi installation after upgrading to OS X Yosemite. The error message is: Wi-Fi: No hardware install.

    In some cases, this issue is caused by a hardware fault. A loose connection, a short circuit, or a microscopic break in a solder joint may open and close depending on temperature, making the failure intermittent.
    Test after taking each of the following steps that you haven't already taken. Back up all data before making any changes.
    1. Turn off Bluetooth. If you have a desktop Mac, you'll need a wired keyboard and mouse to take this step. Those are useful to have anyway, because Bluetooth is not completely reliable. If Wi-Fi works with Bluetooth turned off but not when you turn it back on, delete all pairings in the Bluetooth preference pane and recreate them. Restart the computer and test again.
    2.. There are a few reports that the problem was solved by unchecking the box marked
              Wake for Wi-Fi network access
    in the Power Adapter tab of the Energy Saver preference pane. I can't confirm.
    3. Reset the NVRAM.
    4. Reset the System Management Controller.
    5. Start up in Recovery mode. In the menu bar of the OS X Utilities screen, there's a Wi-Fi menu. Try to connect.
    6. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.

  • Linksys Easy Link Advisor for WRT310N Wireless Router after upgrading to Windows 7 (64bit)

    I can't reinstall Linksys Easy Link Advisor for WRT310N Wireless Router after upgrading to Windows 7 (64bit).  When I went to Linksys site for solution for new drivers, it asked me for Hardware Version Number.  This model doesn't show one.  Any thoughts?
    Thanks!

    Sabertooth is right. If you are able to go online from your Router then you don't need to install LELA software on your Computer.

  • My macbook cannot detect the TI Nspire CX

    Good morning.
    Recently I've bought the Ti Nspire CX(graphic calculator). When it arrived at my home I've decide to connect Nspire to macbook pro(mid 2014) by Ti Nspire Computer Link. The very disappointing fact is that the software cannot detect any device. I'm using the USB cable which was added to a pocket. Could you help me? I wonder if that problem concern a calculator or computer.
    Regards.

    The AirPort Express I am using was used previously at my mom's house. I was able to configure it I think. I used the ethernet cord and plugged one end into my macbook and the other into the airport. It then came up in my airport utility and it was the same name and password when it was used previously. But when I unplugged the cord from my mac and into the cable modem the airport express would only flash a amber light and not a solid green one. Where should I go from here.
    I am new to macs so please as much detail as possible
    Thanks

  • My MacBook cannot detect my AirPort Express

    My AirPort Express is plugged into the outlet, it has the ethernet cable plugged in and a solid green light is on.
    When I go into Airport Utility and it scans it says that it cannot detect any devices.
    I am not out of range it is in an outlet right beside the couch I am sitting on.
    There is nothing near by which could be interfering with it.
    I have already tried resetting my modem, my computer and the Airport itself but I still get the same thing each time

  • I cannot compose or reply to email messages in gmail after upgrade to 3.6.12. Shows :Loading". Gmail works ok in IE.

    After upgrade to 3.6.12 Firefox I cannot compose an email in Gmail. Shows that Gmail in "loading".
    Gmail works in IE. No problems before upgrade.

    Did check the pref dom.storage.enabled and make sure that the value is true?
    To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />

  • Can't use "Place Linked" or "Place Embedded" or "Open" after upgrading to Yosemite and PS CC 2014

    When I go to File > Place Linked / Place Embedded / Open it isn't working anymore after upgrading to Yosemite and PS CC 2014.
    If I drag a file to Photoshop, I can open it that way, or by using "Open Recent".
    I've tried going to the folder "Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 Settings" and deleting the file "Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 Prefs.psp", and then "Place Linked / Place Embedded / Open" works once, but then it stops working again?

    Yosemite is still full of bugs that Apple has not been able to fix.  Thank Apple for the damage to your Photoshop install.
    To re-create the preferences files for Photoshop, start the application while holding down Ctrl+Alt+Shift (Windows) or Command+Option+Shift (Mac OS). Then, click Yes to the message, "Delete the Adobe Photoshop Settings file?"
    Note: If this process doesn't work for you while you're using a wireless (Bluetooth) keyboard, attach a wired keyboard and retry.
    Important: If you re-create the preferences by manually deleting the Adobe Photoshop CS6 Settings file, make sure that you only delete that file. If you delete the entire settings folder, you also delete any unsaved actions or presets.
    Reinstalling Photoshop does not remove the preferences file. Before reinstalling Photoshop, re-create your preferences.
    NEW Video! Julieanne Kost created a video that takes you through two ways of resetting your Photoshop preferences. The manual preference file removal method is between 0:00 - 5:05. The keyboard shortcut method is between 5:05 - 8:18. The video is located here:
    How to Reset Photoshop CS6’s Preferences File | The Complete Picture with Julieanne Kost | Adobe TV
    Mac OS
    Important: Apple made the user library folder hidden by default with the release of Mac OS X 10.7. If  you require access to files in the hidden library folder to perform Adobe-related troubleshooting, see How to access hidden user library files.

  • Macbook failure to use Tiscali's Sagem 800 USB Modem

    Dear all,
    Bought Macbook yesterday, took today off to enjoy it but spent day trying unsuccessfully to connect to Tiscali broadband via Sagem 800 USB modem, including an hour on the phone to Apple helpdesk (in Greece). Not best pleased. They eventually gave up and tried to transfer me to Sagem, but all I got was an answer message saying they'd all gone home. Triffic.
    Could anyone tell me (without using acronyms or abbreviations if at all possible):
    1. Will this modem work with my laptop?
    2a. If so, what must I do to get it to work?
    2b. If not, what would you suggest (ideally, I'd keep with Tiscali and go for a modem that allows my desktop PC and the Macbook to connect to the internet at the same time)?
    Many thanks in advance for any help,
    Simon

    Hi chaps
    Thanks for all the helpful advice. I now have a Netgear DG834G and set it up with (almost) no problems. It took a little longer than 5 minutes mainly because I thought the installation would be quite complicated In the end I chose AUTOMATIC set up on the Built-in Ethernet and bingo - one iMac DV 400 surfing away with NO (as yet) dropped connections. Regarding Tiscali, I have emailed them twice via their website for advice and they have not bothered to reply - if it wasn't just a nuisance to change ISPs I would consider moving...
    When my daugher got her MAcbook the other week we fired it up in the garden and it immediately saw the Netgear on wireless - internet connection in about 10 seconds I love Macs /___sbsstatic___/migration-images/migration-img-not-avail.png

  • The calendar app on MacBook won't recognize and sync with IPad and Iphone after upgrading to Yosemite and Server 4.0

    After upgrading to Yosemite on our mac mini (from OS X 10.9) and V4.0 to Server (from 3.2), the calendar app on MacBook won't recognize the account and won't sync with IPad and Iphone. Even after giving password over and over again. I get the following message: 
    De server reageerde met
    '500'
    op de bewerking 'CalDAVAccountRefreshQueueableOperation'.
    (Server responded with '500' on task 'CalDAVAccountRefreshQueueableOperation'
    Anyone idea?

    update to my original post:  after searching since for the past 10 days - I did want to pass along to others with an iphone calendar sync problem the following resource:
    Mac OS X: Resetting the SyncServices folder
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627
    This is the preferred solution for problems with sync with calendar and other apps between iphone and MaciOS.  This did solve the problem which developed that no items from iCal were copying to Iphone, such as new calendars I would add, but the original problem has not been fixed by this reset.
