Network Status Internal Modem not set up to Fax on PB G4 High Res

What do I need to do to set up the Internal Modem to Fax. I connect to the internet only using Airport & cable ethernet. In System Preferences > Network > Show > Network Status Airport is on top of list. Internal Modem is the only other item shown; It says Internal Modem is not set-up. I do understand that it is impossible to send a fax via Airport. But what does setting up the modem mean since I do not have or use a Dial-up internet connection. Configure button takes me to PPP, TCP/IP, Proxies, and Modem. Under the modem button I have chosen Apple Internal 56k Modem v.92 this is the only option I can choose. What can I do. I have both the Fax status and Modem status in the menu bar both stay at idle while tring to send a fax. Can anyone help?
Thanks Axlan

Apple Internal Modem not working since installing OS X 10.5.2

Folks,
A friend of mine just installed 10.5.2 on his G4 Tower which has an Apple Internal 56k modem.
The modem was working properly under 10.4.11.
Now that he is using 10.5.2 the modem will not dial.
Network (in System Prefs) sees that there is a modem, since it allows him to create an Internal Modem connection, but it will not dial the modem.
Has anyone else seen this issue? Any solutions out there?
Thanks!
Tony

Tony,
The +Intel iMacs+ don't have internal modems so you probably won't get much help around these parts. Try posting over in the PowerMac G4 forums:

Internal modem not detecting dial tone

I have an iMac G3 CRT 333MHz (Lime) which is having trouble connecting to my dial-up internet connection. I am fearing that my internal modem is 'burnt out', and am wondering if anyone out there has any additional troubleshooting tips, or any advice on purchasing a new external modem.
The trouble started after a lightning storm, which also disrupted internet connections for my roommate's PC (I don't know exactly how he fixed his, but he is connected via a DSL modem and says he simply restored some modem drivers). I have noticed, however, that he removed his 56k modem...
When I attempt to dial-up from my Mac, I get a message stating "Modem did not detect a dial-tone or the line is currently in use..." I have checked and double checked that the phone line does indeed have a dial tone, and tried connecting through through various outlets throughout the house. I've disconnected all other phone hardware (except the DSL filters) and reached the same result.
I am currently running OSX (10.3.9), and also attempted to dial out after restarting in 9.2.2. (Same result). After that, I dug out my install CD and reinstalled 10.3 (same result)
From each OS, I've run system profiler and recieved no unusual information about the internal modem. The computer definitely senses that I HAVE a modem (Apple Vsn 0007-1,9/2/1998 v.90) That modem simply can't seem to detect the dial tone.
I have also confirmed my modem settings, tried checking and unchecking the 'sound' and 'wait for dial tone' boxes. My internet provider is NetZero, so I have attempted to dial in using their software, as well as directly through Internet Connect. All attempts return the same message. (and the NetZero account is still active, I have accessed it from two separate computers).
Any thoughts out there if there are any further settings or or software/OS variations I should try? Or are my suspicions valid that the storm somehow fried the modem (there were no power interruptions during the storm... only modem troubles)
My next step might be to find an external modem. I've not seen any Mac-compatible 56k modems in stores. There is a Apple USB Modem in the Apple store, but it requires OS 10.4.3 and a computer 'without a built-in modem', so I don't think that will help me. I've also considered using Airport to share my roommate's DSL connection, but I believe that my model of iMac is not airport compatible...
I also have a dead iMac in the closet (DV model) with a blown ethernet port, broken fan, and damaged hard drive. I'm not above cannibalizing either machine to get the other working until I can afford a new G5...
Any thoughts, suggestions, or shared experiences would be greatly appreciated!!

The only thing I can think of is to go in to the modem settings and choose ignore dial-tone. That way even if it's not getting a good tone the iMac will continue to try to connect. This is also important if you have a voice mail system that varies the dialling tone whne you have a message as I know that stops my father's Win98 box connecting to the Internet unless the equivalent option is checked.
You can update your email address to a current one here. If the Apple ID (i.e. the one you login with) is old don't worry that's pretty irrelevant.

New internal modem not detected

I installed a US Robotics v.92 faxmodem (model 5660A) into a dual 1.8 G5, 10.4.3. This computer came without an internal modem, but I need to send faxes occasionally.
The modem installed into a PCI slot. In the "About This Mac" apple menu selection, no PCI or modem info appears. I have tried resetting the PRAM, searching the US Robotics and Apple web sites for drivers (nothing for Macs.)
The modem was sold as a Windows and Mac compatible modem. Any suggestions?

Hi Shau,
Welcome to the forum.
USB DSL modems are notoriously buggy when it comes to OSX. Continuous need for updating drivers which, more often than not, cause more problems than they solve. My advice would be to invest in an ethernet adsl router. They do not require drivers, you just plug them in and with a minimum setup (literally seconds) you're up and running. Your ISP may be able to exchange the USB modem with an ethernet adsl router for you at no additional cost. Failing that you can buy one for literally tens of pounds.

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.

Internal Modem Not Getting Dial Tone - Failed or Settings? Solution?

I have just refurbished my old G4 FP iMac for my grown son to use. He has only dial-up service. There is a dial tone on the phone line (verified via telephone handset). After an attempt to connect, I get a "no dial tone" message. I hear no audio of the dial tone or connection sequence, even with volume fully open. Believing the internal modem had failed, I purchased an in-line Apple external USB modem. I obviously did not read the fine print carefully enough, because in troubleshooting I ran across a note saying that I need 10.4 or later to use the external modem. I have 10.3.9 installed, and 10.4 costs about $150 these days. That's a lot of $$ to solve what might be a simple modem or system settings problem. Or maybe I don't really need 10.4?
Also wondering (if it is a failed internal modem) whether I can purchase and replace the inernal modem itself.
Any suggestions?

Apple Internal Modem not working since installing OS X 10.5.6

http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=6979575
Same problem more or less. My mom has a Dual 1Ghz G4 Mirror Door Tower that runs great. However she lives in a very... remote, area so dial-up is her only option. With 10.4 on the machine everything worked fine, modem and all. However, to get her using Time Machine, I upgraded her machine to 10.5.6. Everything runs noticeably faster and all was good... until I tried connecting her to her dial-up connection.
The error is nice and vague:
"A modem error occurred. Please verify your settings and try again."
I've done through and deleted every relevant .plist to the modem I could find, no help. Anyone have any experience with this or even better, find a fix?
Will purchasing an Apple USB modem be a viable workaround? The Apple Store states it only works for a G5 or better but I've found many listings around the web with "Apple USB Modems" that claim G3, G4, and G5 compatibility as a few user testimonials.
Any advice is appreciated!

The answer was "buy a USB Apple Modem".

PB G4 12" Modem not hanging up when faxing

I used to use my modem to send/receive faxes quite a bit, then stopped for several months, and when I try to send a fax now, everything seems to go fine, but the dialog reads "Finished..." but it never does. The menu bar scrolls "Sending..." and when I pick up the line (via regular phone) I can hear the fax.
The only way I can recover is stop all jobs, and reset the modem, but the fax is never sent.

To fix this, I purchased "Fax Center" for the Mac and don't have this issue now. I can only conclude it's something with OSX and the Apple drivers for the mode or I have no clue, but using Fax Center versus the built-in Mac interface solved the issue me me.

Internal Modem configured but not connected?

I have a iMac G5 on broadband(along with a PC)servere was down for 2 days now okay Mac had to be reset to work again but PC okay,now the message I get on Mac is "Internal Modem is configured but is not connected. Internal Modem is set up to dial........ how can I undo this so its on the broadband scene again? I have been searching hard drive etc to find how to configure it but no luck there.
Help will be appreciated.
Barb

Hi barbaramac:
Could you provise some more details as to your setup, how do you connect to the internet? DSL Cable?
Assuming you have a home network with a router, you need to go into 'System Preferences' and choose 'Network', select either 'Ethernet' or 'Airport' from the drop down menu whichever applies and 'configure IPv4' by DHCP on the TCP/IP tab. That should do it.

Status flags in TOC not setting

Hi,
I just recently created a project with a table of contents. There are a number of click boxes and 'continue' buttons that pause the project. Sometimes, even though the project has moved on from the slide, the status flag is not set in the TOC. Sometimes it does work though. This is encountered by all users with this project.
Suggestions?

Hi there
I think you may be encountering the following situation.
If you have a Click Box or Button object that is left at the default action of "Continue", the playhead continues to advance and it reaches the slide end. Once it reaches the slide end, the flag is set to indicate the slide has completed.
If you change the default action from Continue to "Go to the next slide" or perhaps "Jump to slide", the playhead never really reaches the end of the slide. So Captivate doesn't consider the slide to have been "visited".
Thoughts here are to possibly stage the Buttons or Click boxes so they pause at the actual end of the slide? Then Captivate may consider the slide to have been viewed and set the flag accordingly. Perhaps try that.
Cheers... Rick

Sales Document Delta Load Error - Status procedure could not be set

Hello,
I am getting the following error message during the sales document delta loads. It errors out in SMQ2 with this message - "Error in Validation (Details: transaction SMW01)"
In SMW01, I get this message:
<b>The status procedure CRMORD_I could not be set from item category XXX</b>.
Message no. CRM_ORDERADM_I503
Diagnosis
Possible causes are:
1. The system administrator has not assigned the status profile CRMORD_I to the object type.
2. Initial statuses that should be set in the status profile CRMORD_I cannot be set at present.
3. The current user RFCUSER does not have the authorization to set application statuses.
Detailed error messages can be found in the following error log for status management.
System response
The status profile is not set in the document.
Procedure
Set the status profile in Customizing so that these cases do not occur.
This status profile has been assigned to the item category mentioned and the RFCUSER has full authorization (SAP_ALL)
Do any of you know what else could be the problem here?
Thanks,
MAX

Dear All,
I met similar error before, it happens when you change the item category in ECC but there is a status profile assigned to the item
category in CRM with an active status set.
In CRM, when the item category is changed, the system can only change (or delete) the status profile if there is no user status set for this item. So for example, if there is already a status set for an item (Say, E0001 'Open' is active) in CRM, so a change of the user status profile is impossible. If you need to change the item type, then you have to make sure that there is no active user status in the item.
Please see note [1113116] point 2. This is a restriction in CRM. If you try to make the same changes directly in CRM you will also get the same error.
It is not allowed to change the item category if the document has been saved and the status profile of the new item category is different from the old one.
That is the reason why the error occurs when the data reaches CRM frm ECC.
In order to prevent that there are sysfails in the inbound queue you can implement note [1438966] - after this is implemented you will not have the queues failing but you will get the error message in the sales order in CRM.
You should ensure that the configuration for alternative item categories is R/3 is the same as in CRM and in this case all the alternative item categories should have no status profile or all the same status profile configured.
I hope this could be helpful.
Best regards,
Maggie

HOW TO SEND FAX THROUGH INTERNAL MODEM

Hi,
I am trying to use my computer to send a recieve faxs. I am connected to the internet via infar red port. And I am under the impression I can use my internal modem to send and receive faxes.
I have hooked the phone socket to internal modem input on my Lap top and have tried many times to send and receive but it says my modem is not set up.
Looking in prefs it is not set up, but it wants a telephone number for dial up.
I have broadband so have no idea about a telephone number for dial up.
Is there a way to set the modem up to receive and send faxes and still be connected to broadband internet?
Hope you can help,
Jamie

If you want to use the modem to send and receive faxes, then you don't want to have the Network trying to control it, you should disable the modem port in the Network prefs and use only the Ethernet port. You can use the Network prefs to troubleshoot to ensure that the modem is in working condition, but you can't have the network dial-up taking control of the modem at the same time as you want to be waiting for a fax or sending a fax. This can cause the modem to get hung, and you will get the waiting behavior that you described.
You should just be able to receive faxes by checking the "Receive faxes on this computer" button in the Print & Fax Prefs. If you had an external modem you could see some activity lights come on as soon as you check the box as it goes into standby to answer a call mode, with an internal the only way to know it's working is to send yourself a fax.
To send a fax, I think you might need to configure a Fax printer, if you don't seem to have one already. Click the "Setup Fax Modem..." button at the bottom of that Print & Fax Prefs. IF you launch /Applications/Utilities/Printer Setup Utility can you select from the View Menu: Show Fax List and does anything show up in the list? You should have a Fax List and fax printer in that list similar to your Printer List and whatever printer you have installed.
To check if the modem is even working you may have to use some modem terminal utility like ZTerm that will let you type simple commands and check the modem response. For example AT should result in an OK. With the internal you can't check the activity lights to see if you are receiving data or sending data, so I'm not sure how else you can verify the internal modem is actually functioning. It might be worthwhile checking that first, or if you know you can use it for dial-up, I still use my modem as a backup for when DSL goes out (rarely).

OS 10.4.7 on a G3 - doesn't detect internal modem. How to solve?

The OS X 10.4.7 was recently installed on my iMac G3. However, when I access Systems Preferences, then Network, the Internal Modem option desn't show up.
Since I would like to use the internal modem to access the internet, can anyone please help me solve this problem?
Thanks.

Is the modem currently plugged into a phone line? If not, perhaps not having an active phone connected to the modem makes the choice to select it unavailable. I'm not sure if Apple makes its software "that smart" but I wouldn't be surprised...
If you do have an active phone line plugged in, maybe it is a malfunction in the modem itself.
Did this iMac previously boot too Mac OS 9? If so, and a bootable System Folder is still available, a good test would be to start up in Mac OS 9 and see if the modem works. I've heard Mac OS X is sometimes flakey about using a modem.

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
Tony
