Missing options and functionality in my internal modem for faxing?

I think my internal modem software on my G4 with OS 10.3.9 isn't fully functional. I can send and receive faxes on my dedicated fax line just fine now, but I want to cancel that phone line and set the modem up to receive faxes on my regular house phone line -- that has an answering machine attached. So that means I need to be able to set it up to receive faxes manually somehow when I pick up the phone and hear a fax.
I picked this reply up from another forum:
Then, under "System Preferences", look for the "Print & Fax" panel, select the "Fax" panel, and setup with your personal settings. After that, click the button that says "Set Up Fax Modem..." which creates a Fax Queue (similar to a print queue). I like to have the "Show Fax status in menu bar" box checked also.
The thing is, I do NOT get the "Set Up Fax Modem" to make a Fax Queue or the "Show Fax Status in menu bar" when I'm in the "Print and Fax" panel. All I can do is check a box that says "receive faxes on this computer", add my telephone number, and choose whether I want the fax as a PDF or send an email, or which printer to print it to. That's it! I can't tell now when a fax is coming in or who is sending it or anything about the fax. I need more functionality, is there a utility I am missing??
Thanks for any help! --Karen

Still waiting for an answer from someone.

  • Why did Apple Get rid of internal modem for fax?

    Hey Guy's
    I just wanted to now if anyone new why Apple got rid of the Internal modem when they were switching from Powerbook G4 to MacBook Pro.
    Thanks, Zach

    In some ways I'm glad they did.
    Internal modems carry these disadvantages:
    1. They take more power out of the system, so they drain the battery.
    2. In order to disconnect a hanging connection, sometimes the power to the modem has to be shut off. That forces you to reboot your Mac, and sometimes it forces you to reboot it without saving your data, or going through the proper shut down procedure, which in turn can damage your directory.
    3. They can be a point that gets fried first when lightning strikes the telephone line. That in turn can lead to a damaged logicboard. By making it a dongle, it gives lightning less of an obvious way to travel to your machine. Not that you still can't get hurt, but the risk is reduced.
    4. Any item connected to the logicboard circuitry directly can get bent, and require replacing the logicboard. Common problems with USB ports and Firewire ports are people who improperly connect the cable and damage the ports. When tied directly to the logicboard the components are hard to replace.
    When you consider the use of such modems much reduced, removing it from the mix makes a lot of sense. Whether that's the reason engineers decided to do it, will always remain a mystery, but it makes sense from a logical perspective.

    Hi,
    Call FM using CALL FUNCTION, if you want to pass selectoptions type values to FM..
    Try like this...
      DATA : delivery TYPE TABLE OF RVBELN,
             wa_delivery TYPE RVBELN,
      wa_delivery-sign   = 'E'.
      wa_delivery-option = 'BT'.
      wa_delivery-low    = lv_FROM_DELIVERYNO.
      wa_delivery-high   = lv_TO_DELIVERYNO.
      APPEND wa_delivery to delivery.
      CLEAR wa_delivery.
    Pass Delivery to FM.

  • Missing text and functionality on install of itunes to Windows 7

    Hi there - I've just installed itunes on a computer that's never had it before. There are several issues, the most obvious being I'm missing half the text and functionality as per my screen shot. My menu bar is about 2mm big and I can't see all the buttons to move between songs / albums / radio etc.
    Searched the forum extensively but nothing has helped. I have completely uninstalled in the correct order. Removed all the temp files and checked all folders were also removed on uninstall. Rebooted. New download just in case. Installed as administrator. I get no error messages. But it doesn't make a difference.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    HI turingtest2,
    Thank you!
    I actually saw this trail after I posted and have been waiting for someone to send me the font file since. Installed and tah-dah! Working!
    Thanks again!

  • Why can't I use my internal modem to fax?

    Since installing Leopard, my fax program (FaxSTF Pro) no longer functions. So I uninstalled FaxSTF, went to System Preferences (Print and Fax), set up my internal modem as a fax, etc. When I try to send a fax nothing happens. When someone sends me a fax, the modem answers, but nothing appears in my fax folder. Can anyone help? Thanks.

    I found the solution in case anyone out there has this problem. After contacting Smith Micro (who sell faxSTF Pro), they directed me to an uninstall program on the website called FAXterminator. Here is the link.
    http://support.smithmicro.com/techsupport/kb.cfg/php.exe/enduser/stdadp.php?p_faqid=1076&pcreated=001046472602
    After running the program, faxSTF Pro no longer answered the phone, and the built-in Apple system functioned normally.

  • Recovering "Internal Modem" on Fax List.

    I accidentally deleted the "Internal Modem" from my Fax List in Printer Setup Utility (see "View" menu), and I can't get it back! Does anyone know how to do the equivalent of "Add Printer" for the internal modem in an iMac for faxing?

    John
    Network Port configs are OK. IN the Print window, there is still no "Fax" button. If I click on the PDF button, I have the option to "Fax PDF." (If I convert a word .doc to PDF, will it be received at other end as a black/white text doc? If so, this partially solves the problem.) I also see the option to 'fax with Efax MEssenger.' I used to use this while I was traveling a lot, and no longer use it. I guess it's possible it could be interfering with the Print/Fax option, but I'm really not sure how.
    Thanks

  • Does iMAC G5 have an internal modem for dialup?

    Does the IMAC G5 have an internal model for dial-up?
    (The page imac/Whatsinside.html says works with Apple USB modem (sold separately). The page specs/imac/iMAC_G5.html says Built-in modem.)

    Thank you Eric. We followed your advice and found the ethernet port on the back. At work they showed me how to tell the difference - besides being wider, the ethernet port has a long row of gold pins. I stopped by the Apple store and bought their modem. It's tiny.
    Thank you myhighway. Once we turn on the machine we'll follow your advice on how to query the machine.
    "I have each of the models in front of me." "I bought a G5 iMac in February 2005, it has an internal modem. I just bought 2 CoreDuo iMacs, neither has an internal modem." Both of you have 3 iMacs ?!!
    Thank you all very much for your explanations and insights. Very helpful. Thank you for your time.

  • CS4 missing features and functions

    Help please, I cannot get my work done!
    I have just upgraded from Design Premium CS3 to CS4. InDesign is the only program I am having issues with.
    I can no longer Alt-drag to duplicate an object. Using Edit-Duplicate puts the new object off the pasteboard.
    I can no longer cut and paste ANYTHING. The features are grayed out in the menu, even when an object is selected. I can copy text from Word, but it will not past into the InDesign text box.
    Cannot move selected objects using the mouse, only the arrow keys will move a selected object.

    The problem is caused by a bug in the handling of US and GB language files either in InDesign CS4 or its installation program.
    You can "force repair" this by using a macro I made: www.e-fastems.com/cs4_indesign_repair_missing_help_and_shortcuts.zip
    In the last step, you need to choose the default shortcut set of your area. E.g. for me it was [Default Finnish]
    I'm not sure if there are more similar problems in CS4. But in my company, we were able to fix the problem in InDesign CS4 using this macro.
    Symptoms of this problem include:
    - When trying to open the help in InDesign CS4 you get the message: "Adobe InDesign CS4 Help content is not installed, or the installation has been damaged. Please reinstall InDesign."
    - All the tools (Tools, Control, Links) panels are missing (i.e. Workspace settings are missing)
    - Copy-paste is not working
    - Enter key does not work
    - Delete key does not work when e.g. trying to delete a selected object

  • Using internal modem for sound input

    This is possible in OS 9 using the Sound control panel- I use it for recording surveys I do over the phone. However, it would be nice to use OS X since I do everything else with that. The only options in the Sound pane are Internal/External microphone and "Sound Input", whatever that is. Any ideas? Thanks!

  • How To Get Internal Modem Set Up in the Fax List - G4 AGP

    Recently installed OS 10.4.8 on my friend's upgraded G4 AGP (Sawtooth). Tried to set up his Mac's internal modem for faxing (no internet connection, he has cable modem for that). Got the fax set up to receive without problem. Tested it and it acknowledges incoming calls and will pick up and log the fax.
    The problem is in setting up to send a fax. Although the internal modem shows up in the Apple Profiler and works to receive faxes, it just won't show up in the Fax List under the Printer Setup Utility and therefore isn't selectable under PDF on the Print window to allow sending a fax.
    I've searched Mac Help in vain. The set up of modems isn't really addressed. What am I missing? On my MDD G4, once I had the modem installed and set up to receive, it just showed up in the Fax List. I didn't have to do anything else.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Carl B.

    So, when you go in to System Preferences > Print & Fax > Set Up fax Modem ..., Internal Modem is NOT showing up in Fax List?

  • Sending Faxes using internal modem and DSL

    I found that I can receive a fax, but I cannot send one. When I try and send one the internal modem tries to connect to the internet using "internet connect". It searches for a number to connect to the internet. Since I am using DSL now I don't have a phone number to dial into the internet. If I put my phone number in it calls me and gets a busy signal.
    Can someone tell me how I should be configuring the internal modem?

    From the Knowledge Base at
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/mh1797.html
    Sending a fax
    You can fax files directly from your computer to any fax machine or computer that is set up to receive faxes. If your computer has a modem that is connected to a phone line, it is automatically configured to send faxes.
    Open the document you want to fax.
    Choose File > Print.
    Choose Fax PDF from the PDF pop-up menu.
    Type the fax number of the user you want to receive your fax in the To field.
    You can also choose users directly from Address Book by clicking the Address Book button to the right of the To field. Be sure you have a fax number listed for each user you choose in Address Book. For more information about using Address Book, see Address Book Help, available in the Help menu when Address Book is open.
    If necessary, type the dialing prefix required for the phone system you're using in the Dialing Prefix field. (For example, if you need to dial a 9 to access an outside line, type 9 in the Dialing Prefix field.)
    If you want to send a fax through a modem other than your computer's built-in modem, choose it from the Modem pop-up menu.
    If you want to send a cover page with your fax, click the Use Cover Page checkbox and type a message in the Message field.
    If you need to change any of the preset faxing options, choose the type of options you want to change from the Fax Cover Page pop-up menu. (To see options for the application you're using, choose the application from the pop-up menu.)
    If necessary, select options for the type you chose. (For example, you can select the number of copies you want faxed if you chose Copies & Pages in step 8.)
    Tip: If you have a combination of options that you frequently use when faxing a document, you can save it as a "preset." After choosing your options, choose Save As from the Presets pop-up menu and type a name for the set of options. If you want to use this set of options when you fax a document, choose its name from the Presets pop-up menu.
    Click Fax.
    The fax is sent as soon as your modem is available. (For example, if you're using your modem to connect to the Internet, the fax is sent after you disconnect from your Internet service provider.)
    You may want to send your fax at a later time. For example, you may want to send it at night when telephone rates are lower. Just choose Scheduler from the Fax Cover Page pop-up menu, and enter the time. Make sure your computer is on, is not asleep, and is connected to your phone line at that time.

  • OS 10.4.9 =  internal modem stopped functioning !

    After installing OS 10.4.9 (combo update) my internal modem doesn't function!
    my Modem Model: Jump
    Interface Type: I2S
    Modulation: V.92
    Hardware Version: Version 1.0
    Driver: MotorolaSM56K.kext (v1.3.4)
    Country: B5 (United States, Latin America)
    Automatic answer stopped working after installing the 10.4.9 update!
    When booting from 10.4.8 (another HD) everything is working great.
    I do hope Apple is going to fix that SOON!

    Hi Shefi Yishal;
    Yes, you are correct. What I was referring to was your final comment which seemed aimed at Apple. I just want to let you know that they don't monitor this forum for problem. they expect the problems to be sent to them directly by way of the feedback link I was referring to in my post.
    As to your original problem, I am sorry I am not able to be of much help because I have not had an internal modem for years now. Sorry.

  • Apple Internal Modem not accesible maybe not present?

    Previously functioning internal modem used for faxing not visible as a choice in the print center. Under the Apple Menu, About This Mac, Modems shows "no information found"? Fax-STF shows "communicating" ? What is my problem. Is the internal modem gone or somehow not activated.
    Frustrated in NV,
    Bill

    OK, I looked on the Apple website at the specs for the MacBook Pro, and they do not come with an internal modem, nor is it an option. So I have no idea how you faxed before, but you must be mistaken. Perhaps you did an eFax? To fax, you must use a modem connected to a phone line. Your post is very confusing, to say the least. There is no internal modem for either of these models. I have the external USB modem, which is also what is recommended for the MacBook Pro.

  • Unable to fax or ad internal modem in tiger 10.4.8

    I am attempting to use my fax for the first time in about a year. I go through the steps to set up the internal modem, but it doesn't show up in the "Network Port Configurations" tab under Network in system preferences. Furthermore, when attempting to add a 'fax" in the printer dialogue, there is nothing to select.
    Is there a way to reinstall the modem? It seems as if it has gone missing... I have tried several tricks outlined here to make it 're-appear' but they are not working for me. Anyone have any suggestions?

    Well, not professing to be an "expert" in this area, I would, nevertheless, be of the mindset that if System Profiler doesn't see your modem, then, as you have postulated earlier, you may have a bad internal connection to the modem board, or the modem is toast.
    If you take your computer in to Apple and they diagnose it as a faulty modem board, FWIW, http://hardcoremac.stores.yahoo.net/modems.html offers some used internal modems for a couple of different old-school Macs (like mine). A google search on "internal modem" and whatever the style/model of your computer is, should turn up additional sources for internal modems for your computer, should that be the case.
