Macbook Pro does not recognize ZTE MF823 modem device.

After connecting it to USB it does not show me the new device, looks like the system does not recognize it.
I have OS X 10.7.5
I bought it to use the fast (LTE) intenet in ISP and help desk told me that system restore might help... :/ but i don't like this "might help solution"
I am using other USB modem and it runs on the same USB port, so it's not the port.
Modem works without a problem on Windows XP.
I tried this one:

My MacBook Pro does not recognize my Android Incredible 2 cell phone and I can not transfer my photos from my cell phoen to my Mac. I was able to do this in the past, but can no longer do so. i havenot upgraded to any new software.

My MacBook Pro does not recognize my Android Incrdible 2 cell phone and therefore I can not transfer any photos from my cell phone to my Mac. I was able to do this in the past, but can not do so now. I have not upgraded to any new software. My USB cable is plugged in properly and I just get an error message -- "No Android Device Found". What could be the problem?

I had the same issue with the Galaxy S4 trying to see what the hype was about and was my first and last android phone. With that being said unfortunately it is a hit or miss with the Mac recognizing an android device or not. It worked perfectly fine the first time around and then it stopped working for no apparent reason. Through trial and error nothing I did solved the issue. I did however plug it in my Mac and left it connected for about 30-40 min to charge for a bit and all of the sudden it recognizes the phone. So I just launched Android File Transfer and everything else became fluid after that. I have no explanation as to why it happened that way, but what I gathered from this is maybe you just have to let it sit for a minute while plugged in before the Mac recognizes it, after all they are opposing software. On a side note this is why I will always be an apple user, Iphones and the like never have this problem

MacBook pro does not recognize my WD external hard drive anymore

I use TIme Machine on my WD external hard drive. Everything was working great up until about a month ago. My MacBook Pro does not recognize my external hard drive anymore...I have done nothing differently than usual. I did search in previous discussions and tried rebooting both the hard drive and the computer.
The USB port is fine as it does recognize another external hard drive and also pen drives....Please help! I haven't backed up in a month and need to figure out how to get this to work soon. Should I call WD?

Does the WD drive show in Disk Utility?
Many times, a USB port simply cannot provide the power a hard drive needs. It is not uncommon for any electric motor to draw more power as it ages. A drive that worked before can stop working when it gets older because age has made it tak more power than any USB port can supply. There are a couple of cheap things to try:
1) A "Y" USB cable---two plugs go to the computer and one to hte drive, giving a power boost.
1 Meter USB 2.0 A to 5 Pin Mini B Cable - Auxiliary USB "Y" Power Design for external hard drives.
2) a POWERED USB hub. That takes the power delivery burden off the USB port so it can deal with data.
WD bare drives are fine but their enclosures are not very Mac-friendly. One thing that has reported helping is to get rid of the proprietary formating that WD puts on their drives. If you don't have to share the drive with a Windows computer, use Disk Utility to erase and reformat the drive to Macintosh Extended Journaled.

Macbook Pro Does Not Recognize My Printer

Here is an incredibly naive question from an 18 year veteran of Macs. Until a few days ago my Macbook Pro and MacPro could print from my Brother MFC-7420. The printer prints with no problem from iMac, which the printer is hooked into. Why then when the printer icon pops out of the Macbook Pro dock ready to print does it always say: "Printer Off Line." "Printer is not connected." ? If the printer prints from the iMac, if all the iMac settings are checked with sharing to ensure others can print, if all the connections are solidly locked into place, if I rebooted my internet and Airport Extreme, then why can't I print, as I was doing without a hitch 5 days ago?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Your Fax machine needs to be tied directly to your land line, if no fax modem interfacing with your Mac, you would have to print the doc, scan it into your HP fax machine to send. This is digital to analog back to digital. Old school.
You can send directly from your Mac, and bypass your HP, many options, here is one:

Macbook Pro does NOT recognize Mic or Xlr-Usb Amp! WHY?

I recently bought an icicle (xlr to usb amp) for my blue spark condenser mic. it clearly states that it is compatible with OSX but it seems my macbook pro contradicts. the mac doesnt recognize the device at all, while in a PC the device is recognized but it reads 'unknown device'. NEED SOLUTIONS.

I apologize.....Yes it was iPhoto that opened it. As soon as you said "Finder" I grew a brain and opened the device with Finder. Still kinda new to Mac's. Do you know why it does not show up on my desktop like my desktop did?
Go to Finder>Preferences>General and make sure that all four items are checked. It's considered an external disk. It should show up then.

My MacBook Pro does not recognize my iPhone 4 when I connect with USB

As the subject line says, when I connect my iPhone 4 to my MacBook Pro via the USB cable, it normaaaally opens iTunes and iPhoto automatically and syncs and imports photos from the phone. But, for some reason, that doesn't happen anymore... Now when I plug in my iPhone with the USB...nothing happens.
The USB still works as a power charger. I even tried a different newer iPhone USB cable from my friend's phone...same problem. I tried both USB ports.
I update my iPhone, my Mac, my itunes, my iphoto...everything. I reset everything at least a couple times. Still no luck!
I did a Disk Utility verify check...it found no problems, the volume 'appears to be ok.'
The iPhone still syncs with iTunes over WiFi, but unfortunately I can't back up my photos from my iPhone wirelessly (I don't have iCloud set up). I want to do it via USB.
Anyone out there with any advice on how to get my computer to recognize my iPhone?
THANK YOU!!!

Ive been struggling with this problem all day, I was trying to upload my pics and videos from my iPhone 4s (version IOS-7) and my computer didn't seem to recognize my phone. Well I finally gave up. My iphone was plugged into my computer via USB, and my iPhoto would not open up automatically like it always had before I updated to IOS-7.
As a last ditch effort I happened to open up my software updates in the apple icon. Lo and behold, once I agreed to update my iTunes app on my mac OSX 10.6.8, it opened my iTunes and a window popped open asking me to click on 'trust this computer'. I did that, and suddenly my iPhoto opened up and filled up with all of my iphone 4s (version IOS 7.1.1) pictures and videos! I could not find an answer anywhere online. I guess the trick is to manually open up iTunes before you attempt to upload pictures/videos from your iPhone into iPhoto.

Help! My Macbook Pro does not read my USB Modem.

I have a USB Modem with Claro (a peruvian company) and my computer use to read it just fine but now does not. A friend connected another USB Modem from another compàny (Movistar) and also a USB cable for his projector and now all of a sudden my macbook does nothing when I connect my Claro USB Modem. When I plugged my claro usb into my computer, a program use to start up that would allow me to click ¨connect´ and connect to the internet but now nothing starts up. I thought that maybe the movistar modem or projector downloaded programsthat prevented my macbook for reading my claro modem so I completely deleted those programs, system files and all. I even completely deleted the claro program hoping that it would automatically download once I connected the claro usb like it did the first time. Please help! I volunteer in the middle of nowhere and internet is kinda important.

New MacBook Pro does not recognize time capsule

Just picked up a new 13 inch MabBook Pro. I would like to get my files from my backup which is on a time capsule (my old mac is completely dead). the airport utility would not recognize it at all. it is also my router, so i know the device is working. thanks.

Try with migration assistant.
See http://pondini.org/OSX/MigrateLion.html
On Mavericks manually mount the TC..
In finder use Go, Connect to Server.. and type
AFP://TCname or TCIPaddress.. where you change that for the actual name or IP.

MacBook Pro does not recognize Ethernet cable or connect to wireless

Today when I turned on my computer, it suddenly would not recognize any kind of Internet connection. The Ethernet cable that I use every day now shows up as 'unplugged' even though it is plugged in. I have tried using a different cable, and it still shows up as unplugged. When I try to connect to the Internet wirelessly, there is always a connection timeout and I can't connect. I use a self-assigned IP address and I've never had this problem before. I've also reset my PRAM, but it hasn't helped. Any suggestions?

try suggestion by "KYLEWONT". If you are still unable to connect to internet then issue is either with n/w settings on comp or h/w. You can drag & drop systemconfig folder in MacHD/Library to desktop which contains all settings for network. Restart comp & that should fix problem related to s/w.

MacBook pro does not recognize built in iSight cam even after restart/ reset

After years of using Sony hdr500 video cam, iMovie stopped recognizing it and then stopped recognizing the built in iSight cam as well. Now photo booth does not see it either. I have restarted the computer to reset SMC and that did not resolve the problem. I would appreciate any help offered. Thanks JJMANN

see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1151 Check cables, connections, too many devices, etc., suggested there.
If your issue persists, try these steps:
Shut down the computer.
Disconnect all devices and cables except the keyboard and mouse cable(s).
Disconnect the computer from the power outlet and wait for 3 to 5 minutes.
Plug the computer back in and turn it on.
Reconnect the device(s) (one at a time if there is more than one) and test. Test with each port if you have more than one.
With all you have already done, if no USB devices are recognized or work on your Mac after you have also considered all the above, you likely have a hardware problem. Contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service.

Macbook Pro does not recognize any drives on start-up

I was using my Macbook Pro (2012; Mountain Lion) when it froze. I manually shut down the laptop and restarted it. When it restarted, the screen was grey with a flashing folder with a question mark logo. This is the first time this has ever happened.
I tried restarting in Safe Mode (same screen appeared), resetting the PRAM, and rebooting in Recovery mode. In Disk Utility (in Recovery Mode), there are no icons for either Macintosh HD or for Windows (I have a partitioned hard drive). The only icon is for the Macintosh OS X Base.
I have an appointment with the Apple Store (a few days out) but was wondering if I could get any advice until then. Because I cannot access Macintosh HD or Windows, I was wondering if this was a physical issue (loose connector) or a decay of both hard drives.
Thanks.

Bad drive or ribbon cable to the motherboard. Your computer only has one hard drive.

My new macbook pro does not recognize all sd cards

My MacBook recognizes some sd and sdhc cards, others it doesnt. When I first got it a few weeks ago, it recognized them all, but i had to try a few times with some cards. Now these cards don't work at all anymore. On windows laptops they still work. Any idea what the problem could be? Thanks

I trying to backup movies that I have purchase from Iturnes onto a cd and my Macbook pro does not recognize any of the CD or DVDs that I tried, nothing seems to work can I back up to a external hard drive?

I am trying to backup the movies and TV show that I purchase from Itunes onto a cd or DVD, and nothing seems to work. I tried using CD-R, CD+R, DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-RW and DVD+RW and they all failed. Is it possible to back up to an external hard drive instead of a CD?
Tyler

I know this isn't a complete answer because I am not sure why or if your backups to CD/DVD are not working, but one thing I do know is yes you indeed can backup any of your iTunes Media (music, movies, tv shows, podcasts, etc.) to an external hard drive. In fact, it's recommended that you do this anyway (in case of a hard drive crash, computer being stolen, etc.)
You can manually back up your movies by finding them in your iTunes Media folder, or since you have a Mac you can just use Time Machine, which will automatically back up either your entire computer (or only certain folders and items if you want). It's pretty handy. I use a 1TB external and Time Machine to keep everything backed up including my iTunes
