Mifi4510L connections issues after firmware 2.23 update

Just updated my mifi firmware to v2.23
Immediately upon restarting the unit it will no longer connect to Verizon's 3G/4G data network.
Checking the advanced diagnostics tool I found that the unit will not synch with the data network (no IP address) and will not connect when attempting manual connection.
Called tech support, after talking with 2 different reps my problem has been passed onto engineering with no estimated time of response.
Unfortunately the first rep tried to indicate that problem was related to my Macbook Pro. Tried to download the update using my XP virtual machine but the dowload pdf would not open.
Hopefully this issue will be resolved quickly before I have to request an adjustment to my MRC for the time that the unit is nonoperable.

Hello,
The problem is with your Mac.  Many users have reported problems where the Mac upgrade left thier MiFi bricked.  Follow JeffR's steps to resolve the problem on your own.  Try to use a WinXP computer if at all possible.
If you have a Mac "bricked" Mifi: 
1. Run the installer, the Mifi will show up as a USB Human Interface Device and the upgrade will not start (cannot find the device)
2. The installer leaves a directory (C:\MiFi4510L) and there's a program called DUU_Verizon_MiFi4510L.exe
3. Run that program, it will find the Mifi, and ask if you want to enable the modem functions of the Mifi.
4. Answer yes, then disconnect and hit the reset button under the battery door.
5. Now reattach to your PC, and rerun the upgrade program. This time it will work.

  • Is there any fix for the bluetooth connectivity issue after most recent OS update?

    Seems to be a common problem particularly with bluetooth headseat connectivity. Any ideas?

    There is no bluetooth connectivity issue after the recent OS update. There may be a problem with your phone, which may or may not be related to the update. A "common problem" looks like this in the forums:
    I haven't seen any threads on BlueTooth with over 1.4 million views and over 12,000 replies, or even any vaguely close. For any problem that someone has there is bound to be someone else amoung 150 million users who have it. That doesn't make it a "common problem."
    If you tell us what the problem is specifically and what you have done so far to try to resolve it someone can probably help you.

  • Connectivity issues after 8.1.1 update please help! :(

    Hi all.  Here's the situation.
    I got my Iphone 6 on release day.
    Not had one single problem with it.
    On Monday however I do a general software update to IOS 8.1.1
    Now ever since then I cannot keep a steady connection to both WIFI AND my roaming internet.
    BOTH show as connected however load EXTREMELY slowly or not at all.  No matter where I am.
    I have done a soft reset.
    Switching on and off.
    And resetting Network Settings.
    Done all these 3 or 4 times and they are not helping.
    It is too coincidental to not be because of the software update.
    Can someone please help me?

    Still no help for you? I updated my iPhone 6 to 8.1.1 this past weekend and now have huge connectivity issues too. My home WiFi signal is 5 bars but runs very slow for example Facebook, the phone cannot update messages or photos. Try to connect for online banking, forget it. I have turned off WIFI and try using my Verizon signal which is 3 out if 5 bars, same problem. Don't understand why Apple cannot fix this apparent bug. Will call Apple Care in a few minutes and let you know what they say.

  • Is there a fix for the wifi connectivity issue after ios6 update?

    Is there a fix for the wifi connectivity issue after ios6 update?
    Cannot connect to any wifi since update to 6.0.1
    How do I get update to 6.0.2?
    Will that even help?

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

  • Bluetooth connection issues after update

    Is anyone experiencing bluetooth connection issues after upgrading to iOS 8.1.3?  I upgraded to iOS 8.1.3 and now it won't connect to my car bluetooth and my bluetooth speaker will sound like it has static from time to time.

    Hi, joshzik.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    I understand that you are experiencing issues with various Bluetooth devices and your iPhone.  Sometimes pairing the devices again can resolve the issue.  However, here are a couple articles that have some helpful troubleshooting steps regarding Bluetooth connectivity and an iOS device.

  • Logic Remote connectivity issues after updating to iOS 8 (solved!)

    Has anyone else has been experiencing connectivity issues with Logic Remote after updating to iOS 8?
    After updating to iOS 8 I could no longer connect so I sent a feedback report to Apple and got a response that cleared up my problem immediately:
    Navigate to the following directory on your desktop system running GarageBand:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.garageband10/Data/Library/Preferences/
    You can quickly navigate there using the “Go” menu in Finder -> Go To Folder (shift-command-G), then copy this path:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.garageband10/Data/Library/Preferences/
    In the Preferences folder should be a file named "com.apple.garageband10.cs”.
    Make sure GarageBand is not running and delete the  "com.apple.garageband10.cs” file.
    Relaunch GarageBand and see if you should now be able to connect.
    The same can be done for Logic by navigating to:
    ~/Library/Preferences/
    And deleting "com.apple.logic.pro.cs" and restarting Logic.
    Note that doing this will fix Logic Remote connectivity issues (and possibly other problems with latency and mixer functionality)  but will also delete any other Controller settings that you've configured with Logic, if you happen to be using another controller of some sort.

    Thanks very much!  This solved my connection problem.

  • Bluetooth connectivity issues after updating to OS X 10.10.3

    I have been experiencing issues with bluetooth mouse connectivity (apple magic mouse) after updating OS X to 10.10.3. My Macbook Retina 15" pro (early 2013) keeps losing connection with the mouse. Switching the mouse on/off helps in re- establishing connection between the mouse and the laptop for a few seconds. I was under the impression that this update of Yosemite was intended to rectify bluetooth and wifi connectivity issues. Any suggestions/advice welcome.

    Back up all data.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/Preferences/com.apple.Bluetooth.plist
    Right-click or control-click the line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Restart.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combinationcommand-C. In the Finder, select

  • N8 - Picture Browser Issue After Firmware Update

    Since I´ve updated to PR1.1 I have a lot of tearing and blurriness when I see my pics at max zoom in the phone´s own pic browser.
    Pics viewed in my PC are just fine.
    I´ve tried to reinstall the FW 2 times already, but the problem remains.
    Details from my FW version:
    PR1.1 013.016.C11.01
    Language: 013.016.34.01
    PC: 0599221

    I also have the same problem. I have two Bluetooth headsets, Nokia BH-101 and Sony Ericsson MW600. Both worked just fine before Anna update. But after installing ANNA, both hands free units giving problems. After couple of calls its simply not responding, and phone get stuck and touch screen not responding to any commands.
    After disconnecting the BT handsfree, sometimes phone starts to work fine but in rare cases, it shows as a headset connected even after disconnecting the BT headset.
    And when you restart the phone, its start working again with BT. But not for so long. This is a real headache. Please give a solution.

  • Stacks issue after firmware update 1.2, won't fan anymore only grid.

    This issue was resolved when I updated to the 10.5.2 Leopard OS but now that I've updated the firmware with the most recent update yesterday the stacks function in the dock went back to just being able to show the grid format and when I choose the list format it comes up in a standard list (menu) view not the nice new fan view.
    Has anyone else had this issue yet? Has anyone been able to fix it? I can see from the install log that there were errors and it looks like they were specifically with the dock/stacks portion but I'm not code savvy enough to know how to fix them.
    Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Well, at the risk of insulting your level of expertise - is your Dock on the side instead of the bottom? There's no fan available with side-docked Docks, either in function or the popup menu.
    If that's not the case, try trashing the Dock's plist and see if that makes it behave.
    Please keep in mind we see many, many beginners or otherwise naive users asking questions which have simple answers, and no insult is intended when a suggestion is made that you've already tried; it's hard to assess a writer's knowledge level. When your original post said "and when I choose the list format it comes up in a standard list (menu) view not the nice new fan view" it made it hard to determine your level for 2 reasons: You referred to the "new fan view" which is not new in 10.5.2, the upgrade you said you just installed, and if you "chose the list format" why would you expect it to show you a fan view? That's probably why Bruce told you to select "fan view". It was probably just a less-than-perfect sentence on your part, but you might be able to see, in retrospect, that it sounded a little newbie-ish.
    Bruce tried to help you and we can only hope that your reaction does not make him hesitate to help someone else lest he get snapped at again!

  • Safari 3.1 doesn't work after Firmware 1.5 update

    Hi. After downloading the Firmware 1.5 update, I can't use Safari 3.1 anymore. I am able to connect on-line (e.g., I can search successfully for updates), but I cannot web-browse. I reloaded my ISP software, and that is not the problem. I also have cleared the cache on Safari and that didn't help either. Please help. Thank you!

    If you were actually right don't you think that Apple would put a proviso on every software update to repair permissions before and after install in their release note? Or perhaps even automate the process for OSX user as part of install process?
    Do you Verify your disk occasionally? Apple could automate that as part of chron scripts, but they don't. In fact, the chron scripts themselves only run if you leave your machine active overnight. There are plenty of things that Apple could do, but doesn't. Why? Only they know.
    But, the OP has an app that is not opening, and DU help states: "If you have trouble opening applications or documents, or if your computer is running slowly, the user permissions for some of your files may be set incorrectly. Permission problems sometimes happen after you update your system or install new software. With Disk Utility, you can repair these problems."
    Ewen wrote:
    That's another matter, but you didn't actually suggest it first in topic. OP can easily test this by Verify permissions. Repair permissions probably won't hurt but I'd hate for a Mac user to start performing a troubleshooting step with little or no logical reasoning behind it.
    No, why would I? S.U. suggested it, and the OP asked how to do it.
    Ewen wrote:
    so if you answer every question with this as a suggested course of advice you will be right some of the time, but not all of the time.
    Yes, and we all know a broken analog clock is accurate twice per day. But I don't advise this all of the time, most of the time, or even some of the time. Rarely would probably be the best descriptor.
    Ewen wrote:
    I think its just a waste of time unless actually a permissions issue may be present. Permissions issues do crop up (and may explain OP issue) so if you answer every question with this as a suggested course of advice you will be right some of the time, but not all of the time.
    I would argue that Verify Permissions is a waste of time, since if incorrect permissions are found, the next step is to Repair Permissions, right? So why not just Repair? You imply that somehow that Repair Permissions step will have negative consequences. What is your evidence for that?
    Ewen wrote:
    I think its just a waste of time
    If the only negative consequence to Repair Permissions is that it's "a waste of time," honestly, what's the harm? I think that anyone who has followed this thread down to this point now has a very good understanding of what "waste of time" really means!

  • Display Issue after 10.9.2 update

    After updating my Macbook Pro with Retina to 10.9.2 -- My display flickers for a second after sleep and or blank screen and then goes back to normal. Has anyone else been having display issues after updating?

    Yes similar problem here: I have a MacBook Pro, 15 inch Retina, Mid 2012, and when I connect a secondary display via HDMI (and also HDMI-to-Thunderbolt) then the external monitor becomes the main display.
    I have not figured out on  how to switch back to former settings. My guess: it's a bug. A quick search confirms that many others have secondary display issues since 10.9.2
    (Steve would have fired those lazy punks, who failed to do sincere testing before release …)

  • Wireless Issues after 10.4.7 update

    Hi all,
    My wireless connection was solid since the day I bought my Macbook Pro. I had profiles connecting to my wireless router at home and my work wireless points at work. When I recently updated my system to 10.4.7, I have had some issues with my wireless.
    Sometimes when I start my mac up, login, etc, the wireless icon in the system tray will flicker, and I have no connection to my wireless. If I disable and enable the Airport device, sometimes it just starts working. Sometimes I have to reboot the system to make it work. If the icon does not flicker, it works fine, when it gets into that state where it doesn't work, the icon flickers.
    Anyone else having these issues?
    Macbook Pro 15" 1.83GHz   Mac OS X (10.4.7)   1Gb RAM

    I also had some dropped connections over my wireless
    router at home (Linksys router) after the 10.4.7
    install. I have a MBP 15" W8617xxxx. Connection was
    good for a few minutes at a time. Then I had to
    restart AirPort.
    For me, I had installed some other apps about the
    same time as 10.4.7, so I uninstalled them, repaired
    permissions, installed the Combo 10.4.7 and now
    everything seems okay.
    I don't know if it was the new apps, or the Combo
    install, or repair permissions, or ?
    Hope that helps. Good luck.
    =================
    SDDave,
    i have been reading a lot of postings regarding the issues with wireless after the 10.4.7 update.
    i also have a linksys wireless router and have identical problems with you. i am sure many of us do as well.
    you said you managed to install the 10.4.7 combo and everything seems to work properly now? if so, would you be kind enough to give me detail steps on how to install the 10.4.7 combo file
    1. do we get the combo 10.4.7 from the apple site?
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosxupdate1047comboppc.html
    2. what steps do we need to install this file?
    please please help us out to provide detail steps to do this. i know some of us here are not as comfortable doing it without some help.
    i would appreciate if anyone else would help out beside sddave.
    thank you in advance. i can't wait to install this combo update to resolve this connection issue.

  • How i get by with the sleep, pause issue after 1.0.2 update

    ok. i'm sure you guys are aware of the ipod sleeping/pausing issue after updating your ipod to 1.0.2. my ipod will pause whenever it is in the jensen dock station and the green battery indicator shows up. whenever i use the dock or remote to unpause the song, a few seconds later, it pauses again. so instead of using the dock or remote to play, unpause, whatever, i connect the ipod to the dock and use the wheel to navigate and 'only' use the play/pause button on the ipod itself to kick off the playing of music. if i go back to the remote, the ipod pauses. if i only use the menu and play/pause button on the wheel, my songs do not pause. it sure was nice using the remote before 1.0.2. i mean, it did come with the dock for my remoting pleasure but alas, i shall wait on the next update. hope this helps someone.

    I will have to try that... I took my iPod to work today and plugged it into my JBL docking station and it was skipping. I did notice it seemed to go to sleep more often when I used the remote... There's a whole other forum on this maybe you could check out too. But it's really annoying and I hope Apple comes out with a fix soon! I will definitely try to use the iPod wheel tomorrow and not the remote.
