My IMac will not load installation software for Mobile Internet USB Plug

Hi, I have a new IMac(Leopard), and have recently loaded a new USB Mobile Internet Plug (SFR France) on to the machine in order to access the internet/mobileme.We live on a boat in France so being "connected" is so important to us.
The installation software is in the USB plug, it loaded successfully, connected and worked well for a period of time.
The IMac then seemed to "forget" the application, and did not open correctly and I had to "force quit" to continue.
I then removed the application and any bits I could find in other folders, and tried to re-install by inserting the plug again. The Icon to install only flashed on the desk top and disappeared so I could not perform this task.
I even tried to "restore" from Time Machine (and my external hard drive), the icon to install appeared on the desktop and I installed the application, but when I clicked onto the "connection icon" it jammed again and did not load.
I checked the status of the installation device by loading the program successfully on the Macbook Pro I have, and even loaded it onto a Dell PC and even had it checked at SFR, and all ok. So it appears the problem is with the IMac.
Any advice suggestions would be greatly appreciated, it is so frustrating!

I have had similar problems with both Sprint and Verizon units (Novatel u727 & u760). Solved both by going to provider sites and downloading SW.

    Hello KCC4ME,
    You may try booting your Mac in Safe Boot, as it can resolve many issues that may prevent a successful login.

    If a Safe Boot allows you to successfully log in, you may have issues with one or more login itmes (while the following article is labelled as a Mavericks article, it is viable for earlier versions of the Mac OS, as well).

  • IMac will not load internnet sites despite it having all green lights on the Network Diagnostics screen.  In other words there is a valid internet signal going into the iMac, but the machine will not load sites. Help? iOS 10.9.5

    iMac will not load internet sites, despite having all green lights (strong WiFi signal etc) on the Network Diagnostics screen. in other words there is a strong
    internet wifi signal going into the iMac but the machine does not connect to the internet.  I OS 10.9.5.  Other devices work fine with the same internet signal.

    iOS 10.9.5 does not exist.
    iOS refers to the operating system on iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touch.
    10.9.5 was never a version of a Classic operating system.
    10.9.5 was a version of Mac OS X, and is 13 years newer than Classic.
    Here are reasons for WiFi signal to fail even when they appear to be strong:

    Your Mac may be too close to your WiFi router, in which case, it might be better to connect to it via an ethernet cable if it can't be moved.

  • Websites will not load in Firefox for Android Lollipop unless Request Desktop Site is selected.

    Starting on March 20th, both my Nexus 4 and my Nvidia Shield tablet will not load past around 15% for any website unless I select Request Desktop Site. This only seems to be a problem when the devices are connected through wireless data. Wi-Fi is unaffected by this issue.
    I've force stopped Firefox, I've cleared data and cache, and I've removed / re-installed Firefox. i've also rebooted the devices a few times. Google Chrome is also working fine.

    Build 36.0.3 Just arrived on my device and seems to have corrected the problem.
    UPDATE: This only lasted for the rest of the night. By the next day, the issue had returned.

  • Firefox 8.0 will not load web pages for multiple Windows XP users

    We're running Windows XP 5.1 SP3 with two user accounts. After upgrading to Firefox 8.0, Firefox will no longer load web pages for the second user when the first user is logged in and running Firefox. (We typically use "Switch User" as opposed to logging out when taking turns at the computer.)

    I guess that was a possibility
    I gave up on version 8
    I uninstalled it, googled version 7 and installed that and now it runs fine when I switch user to user
    Thanks for the help I'll take it into consideration if I update again

  • My iMac will not load webpages, but my internet connection is fine.

    I was watching a video on Hulu, and suddently I got a error that the website could not load. Since then, I can't load most pages (yet oddly I have found one page that still works.) Network diagnostics says that everything is working fine... and I can still connect to everything just fine with with my MacBook and iPhone on the same network. I have the same problem whether I am trying to use Safari or Google Chrome. Any ideas about what could make this happen all of a sudden? I have tried everything I have ever done when faced with a connectivity problem - I'm thinking it must be some specific setting on the computer that got messed up somehow.

    Try using different DNS servers like OpenDNS (208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220).

  • Imac will not load osx on my imac 24"

    I have purchased an Imac of ebay that would not boot up. it is the aluminium model 2007/8 2.8ghz intel processor
    I have replaced the hard drive to a 1tb, and purchased Snow leopard from apple store. when I boot up I get the chimes and the apple logo with spinner then it just gets a black screen and shuts down and restarts. I have rest pram and booted holding option key but to no avail.  Anyone know whats going on here//
    By the way I have installed windows 7 no problem so why not snow leopard????? I am typing this on the machine now :-)

    What does the disk look like and what does it say on the disc?
    There is, also, the possibility that your iMac's internal optical may not be working or is failing.
    You first, may need to purchase an externally connected optical drive to boot your iMac from.
    Not all optical drives are Mac compatible.
    Most Mac compatible drives you will only find to be purchased online.
    Here are two on Amazon.com that are cheap and Mac compatible

    Here's another source for Mac compatible optical drives. These are better quality optical drives.
    These are also tray loading drives.

    This is why you never, EVER purchase a computer off of eBay.
    You have no real idea of its working condition and you have very little recourse if there is something majorly wrong a computer.
    Buying from a legitimate authorised Mac reseller where you'll be guatanteed of a perefectly working used Mac and a place to call if you have hardware issues within a certain period of time. A most Apple resellers will have warranty periods of, at least 30 days provisions for longer warranties of up to a year if your used Mac develops issues.

  • ITunes 10 will not load required software to use iPod touch

    After installing iTunes 10, this is the message I get,,,
    " This iPod cannot be used because the required software is not install. Run the iTunes installer to remove iTines, then install iTunes again. "
    I have done this twice already and keep getting same message.
    Note: Before installing iTunes 10,, iTunes 9xxx worked flawlessly, and unable to find and reinstall previous version.
    Thanks for the input and help.

    Try right clicking on the movie then click on Advanced (at the top of the iTunes window) it gives you the option of creating an iPod/iPhone version .

  • IMac will not load web pages, but high speed internet.

    Hi all,
    I upgraded my internet yesterday to 100Mbps, and received a modem + router combo from my ISP (Charter). It is a Netgear CG3000D and I have another router hooked up, which is a Cisco/Linksys E3200. The problem I'm encountering is extremely slow page speeds, it'll take from 3 to 5 minutes for pages to load. My first thought was DNS, but of course I tried Google's Public DNS and OpenDNS. Unfortunately, they did not work. I called both the ISP and router manufacturer, but still no luck. I called Apple, but I'm not paying $49 for additional support. I'm assuming my Mac is caching something it's not supposed to. I do not live near an Apple store to see what's wrong. I went into safe mode and the issue still hasn't been resolved. There's multiple devices working fine, and I've noticed when my Mac is connected to my router, my PC goes haywire as well. And FYI -- I connected my iMac directly to the ISP's modem/router and it didn't work either.
    Internet/Cable > Netgear CG3000D > Cisco/Linksys E3200 > iMac
    Please help! Much appreciated.
    Take care,
    Tyler

  • Since March 5th Firefox will not load pages except for Homepage.

    Firefox just says "connecting" on the tab and after thirty minutes the page doesn't load. I have tried restarting my computer a few times, and have uninstalled then reinstalled Firefox. It is not a problem with the connection and does not appear to be a problem with my security. I've been using Firefox for over a year on this computer, then suddenly this. What do I do?

    Type '''about:preferences#advanced'''<Enter> in the address bar.
    Under '''Advanced,''' Select '''Network.'''
    Look for '''Configure How Firefox Connects''' and press the '''Settings''' button.
    Check the settings.
    Some problems occurs when your Internet security program was set
    to trust the previous version of Firefox, but no longer recognizes your
    updated version as trusted. Now how to fix the problem: To allow
    Firefox to connect to the Internet again;
    * Make sure your Internet security software is up-to-date (i.e. you are running the latest version).
    * Remove Firefox from your program's list of trusted or recognized programs. For detailed instructions, see

  • My iMac will not load since a power flux

    Today there was a power flux as i was using my iMac. I did not try to turn it on for 2-3hrs after the iMac screen went black as it turned off due to lack of power. Later i did try to turn the computer on twice, after unplugging it in. Each time I did turn it on the screen lights up with a white background, grey Apple logo, grey pinwheel turning, then switches to a white screen with nothing and the only response to a left mouse click is the rainbow pinwheel for a time, then nothing but a mouse arrow with the whte screen. The only way I can turn it off is by unplugging it since the power button does not respond.
    Help, Please!

    First work thru the steps at > Mac OS X: Gray screen appears during startup
    Then if you get no where with that, go to > OS X: About OS X Recovery
