Novatel Merlin XU870 no longer supported under WWAN?

10.7 Lion just installed, but the above seems stuck at the "initializing" stage once plugged in.
Any ways of getting round this?
Cheers

Yes, am sitting outdoors in a park using it right now!
Found a driver on Novatel's website, for Snow leopard, but seems to work just fine in Lion:

Hope that works for you too!

Using Novatel Merlin XU870

Hi,
I'm having some issues with Merlin XU870 express card after upgrading to Leopard. Before I upgrade to Tiger, under Network preferences, I used to be able to enter APN under the Telephone number. But now there is no Telephone Number field, only account name and password and thus it didn't connect to the internet.
Is there a work around? Can someone direct me to modifying the modem script so that it will dial to the specific APN?
Many Thanks!

I had the same problem with my Mobile Broadband ExpressCard from 3Mobile here in Australia (it's a rebranded Merlin XU870). I solved it:
1) The APN (in this case "3NetAccess") no longer goes in the telephone number field. Leopard has a place for the APN for cellular data cards. I'm not at the computer right now, but I think you'll find it in System Prefs > Network > Novatel Card > "Advanced". Choose Novatel from the device type, GSM as the network type, and you'll see a space for the APN
2) The modem script for the XU870 that's included with Leopard didn't connect to 3 Mobile Broadband for me. It may work for yours - after making the change above, try connecting before mucking around with the following. I actually had to extract Novatel's standard modem script out of their installation package (from their website), modify one part of it to look in the new Leopard APN field when it connects, and then save it into the Modem Scripts folder. If yours works without this change, that's good, leave the scripts alone. I can't remember the exact bits I changed as I'm not with the computer right now, but post a message if you still have no luck and I'll see what I can offer.
3) If your card is recognised, you connect using the new WWAN menu bar icon, not Internet Connect or other utility. It's easy and fast. The menu bar icon disappears if the card is taken out.
In any case, with Leopard's built-in WWAN drivers my connection is faster (av. 2Mbps download) and more reliable than it was under Tiger with the Novatel drivers.
Cheers,

Ipod classic no longer supported under new Itunes?

I have an older 160GB IPod classic which is only used in my Porsche as it syncs best with the sound system. After downloading the latest Itunes software onto my PC yesterday, I see that I can no longer autofill or otherwise navigate through my Ipod via Itunes. Itunes does recognize the device; but, only allows me to 'eject' it from an icon on the upper right hand side of the Itunes window. This is very frustrating and I don't know how to return to an older version of Itunes.
Any suggestions for me?
Michael

Another thread on this site has wondered if Apple is withdrawing support from older devices - it has happened in the past - and is very frustrating when you have something that still works and can't use it.
Don't get me started!
I had always assumed that when the iPod Classic was discontinued it would be replaced with something better. (256GB Flash and a Lightning connector.) I was wrong.
My problem is like many others, Apple makes NO portable device that will store my 150 GB of music. (Their competition does.) Even an iPhone 6 only has 128GB, Max. So, what Apple could do in 2009, they CANNOT do in 2014.
Nicely express your concerns to Apple using the links below. They will be read.

Merlin XU870 HSDPA Modem Problem

I just installed a Novatel Merlin XU870 HSDPA Modem with Cingular wireless in my Intel Core 2 Duo and my pull-down icons at the top right are blinking. The icons seem to be cycling. It happens as soon as I plug the device into the ExpressCard 34 slot and stops when removed. Using Internet Connect I can connect to the internet using the card but the blinking continues.
I have uninstalled the Novatel drivers and reinstalled them - no difference. I have all of the current update from Apple.
I'm at a loss. Can someone help?
Thanks
MacBook Pro 15' and many more Mac OS X (10.4.9)

i had this problem when the update first went out. my solution was to uninstall the update and then install novatel's drivers.
recently novatel's drivers seemed to have uninstalled themselves (or at least they were not longer visible in the network system pref pane, even though the files were still in the system library) so i tried apple's solution again. still doesn't work.
HELLO APPLE IF YOU ARE READING THE MESSAGE BOARDS - PLEASE ADDRESS THE FACT THAT THE WWAN UPDATE DOES NOT WORK FOR THE XU870 ... THIS IS WIDESPREAD, SEE FOR EXAMPLE http://digg.com/apple/Donot_install_the_Apple_WWAN_Support_1_0update
how to uninstall apple's drivers:
- Remove the following files installed by the update:
/System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras/WWAN.menu
/System/Library/Extensions/IOSerialFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleWWANSupport .kext
/System/Library/Extensions/IOSerialFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleWWANVerizon .kext
/Library/Modem Scripts/WWAN Support
- To get to the 2nd and 3rd files you have to right-click or ctrl-click on the IOSerialFamily.kext and select 'show package contents'
how to install novatel's drivers:

good luck - this is a total pain. i hope apple is paying attention.

Novatel Wireless XU870 and kernel panic

I have installed both Novatel drivers and Apple WWAN Update to a Mac Book Pro (OSX version 10.4.8). When I put Novatel Wireless XU870 card in ExpressCard slot Mac Book Pro goes grazy. In Finder top bar icons (clock, display, etc) disappears and after a second or two they come back. OSX shows a message of new network ports and let me configure PPP settings etc. At the same time Finder top bar icons are blinking on and off. I can´t get connected with Internet dialup and after a minute I got kernel panic. I tried with another Mac Book Pro but it didn´t work either.
I have tried the card with brand new Fujitsu-Siemens laptop and it works great with it (Win Vista). Any ideas? Please, help.
Mac Pro Mac OS X (10.4.8) Mac Book Pro

So it seems it's down to the SW, either theirs or yours, theirs seems most likely.
They don't say what exact version of OSX they're using..
As a long shot, you might try Trashing these files and Reboot...
/Users/nnnnLibrary/Preferences/com.apple.internetconnect.plist
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/NetworkInterfaces.plist
Have you tried plugging it in without their SW installed yet?

HT1338 Microsoft Office Mac taken off my computer because no longer support by Apple?

My software for Office mac 2004 is no longer on my latop as it is no longer supported? I dont understand, Now I do not have any software?

Let me see if I can make a few educated guesses and save you some time:
You had Office 2004 running on your MacBook but recently upgraded to Lion (or Mountain Lion). When you attempt to run any component of Office 2004, you get a Dialog Box that PowerPC applications are no longer supported.
Your best and easiest solution (although maybe not the cheapest) is to upgrade to Office 2011 and everything should work fine again!
Two factual corrections:
1. Apple extensively publicized the fact that Lion would no longer include Rosetta. The problem is that the everyday normal PowerPC app Mac user had no idea what Rosetta was, that they were using it nor what its absence in Lion would mean for their everyday life!
2. Apple's license to use the underlying technology of Rosetta expired with the release of Lion (and now Mt. Lion). The third party company that licensed this technology to Apple back in 2005/2006, was acquired by IBM, who still champions the PowerPC platform.
It is doubtful that IBM would have re-licensed this technology to Apple at any reasonable price... Apple's "feelings" had nothing to do with it.

Have can't open iphot because power pc apps are no longer supported

I recently burned up an 8 year old Mac (all in one machine) for lack of better terminology.
It was replaced with a MacMini so I could connect to an existing monitor.
Upon launching, I have an error, when I open iPhoto or iDVD, etc that says: Can't open Iphoto because power pc apps are no longer supported.
What do I need to do now?
I'm assuming the software I had originally on my old machine is outdated? But I also thought it was pre loaded with all the basic stuff.
AS you can tell I'm not the biggest user............ but I would like to be!

Sounds like someone restored your programs from you old PowerPC-based system to your new system, probably running OS X 10.7 Lion or 10.8 Mountain Lion. Apple dropped the capability to run PowerPC-based code in these systems. You can go to Launch pad and access the App Store to buy updated versions of the iLife programs. However, iDvd is no longer available from Apple. You can buy iLife in a box from sources like Amazon.com that will have iDvd included, and possibly even by calling the Apple online store at, in the US, 800-MY-APPLE. Ask for the latest version of iLIfe with iDvd off the legacy products list.
You probably should click on the apple on the left of the menu bar, click about this mac, more info, systems report, and applications (which will take a few moments to display). Click kind to sort the list. Any programs that say PowerPC won't run under 10.7 Lion or 10.8 Mountain Lion.

Not able to install Logic on mac with OSX. 10.8.2. Error message: Logic Studio.mpkg cannot be opened as the power pc programs are no longer supported. I have logic studio 8 software purchased in 2007 and upgraded with logic studio 9 (purchased in 2009)

After an earlier attempt to move Logic from my other mac (OSX 10.6.8) with the migration assistant to my new mac with OSX 10.8.2. I've re-started the whole start up process by erasing the hard drive from the new machine and build it up from scratch. After a new "out of the box" start, I decided to install LOGIC from my disks : starting with my 2007 package Logic Studio 8 and upgrading with my Logic 9 package from 2009. When trying to start to install 2008 I got the error message : Logic Studio.mpkg cannot be opened as the power pc programs are no longer supported.
What does this mean? HOw do I get this working under 10.8.2 as it works flawlessly under OSX 10.6.8. For sure I didn't buy a new machine to have OSX 10.8.2 but I suspect this is the roadblock to installing my logic package.
Help!

Mark,
Sorry...
I completely lost the thread (I actually got confused between you and another poster on a another forum that was asking the same basic question) and somehow ended up thinking you were trying to install on a PPC Mac
My apologies and please ingnore those parts of my last post relating to the PPC Macs...
You have an Intel Mac and therefore Logic Studio 2 Boxed Upgrade set should install/run on your Mac without issue. As I said earlier.. you do not need to try and install from the original Logic Studio 1 /Logic 8 Boxed set...(It won't work anyhow because you have an Intel Mac and that version had a PPC installer) but just install from the Logic Studio 2 / Logic Pro 9 Upgrade Boxed setof DVDs instead...
Have you tried the "Make Disk Image" solution I gave earlier? That normnally works under such circumstances as what you are describing can happen when your DVD drive cannot read the DVDs correctly... I have had this situation myself where one drive read them okay and another failed to do so for whatever reason. Making and then installing from Disk images of those exact same disks resolved the issue for me...
You can try to reinstall directly from the DVDs of course though under some circumstances it may not allow you to reinstall Logic Pro itself if that part of the original installation attempt was successful... in which case you can also try this... (It's probably the easiest method if Logic 9 was already installed and present in your Apps Folder)
If the Logic Pro App is in your applications folder..
Run Software Updates to update Logic Pro to a version that will run under 10.8.2 (The initially installed version of Logic will not)
Run Logic
Go to the menu bar in Logic and select Logic Pro/Install Additional Content and select all content in there..
This content is basically exactly the same as what is stored on the remaining DVDs of the boxed set so you might not need to use the rest of the DVDs to install from but download it all instead from Apple Servers...

Please could you advise? ... After installing Itunes 11.3.1.2 on my Laptop and when reconnecting my iPad2 via USB, it is no longer visible under 'My Computer'. Any advice on resolving this issue would be most welcome. Thanks

Any one or a combo may help
Give your iPad a reset. Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. When you see the silver apple, let go and let it reboot and try again.
Try a different USB cord
Try a different USB port
Try rebooting your computer
Try closing/opening iTunes.
If you go through that and it doesn't work, try going into the control panel, add/remove programs. Uninstall iTunes, Apple Mobile Device Service, Apple Application Support. Then redownload and reinstall iTunes and try again

"Older" apps no longer work under 10.7

Filemaker pro 7, Toast and Photoshop CS3 no longer work under 10.7. Is there any way to make these work or will I have to go back to OS 10.6?

Time for an update.
I'd scrap Toast. And CS 5.5 and FileMaker Pro 11 are way better than the older versions you have, and will run substantially faster as native applicaitons.
Though I thought CS3 was actually a Universal application and thus _should_ run on Lion (albeit not supported any more)

You do not need the Setup Assistant; in fact, you do not need any software on an external hard drive. I have two LaCie's; I erased the drive as soon as I plugged it in. You will need to format it anyway because most hard drives come Windows formatted. So, if you only want to use it with the Mac, highlight it in Disk Utility and choose Mac OS Extended (Journaled) as the format and the GUID Partition scheme under Options. While doing that, it will erase the drive (and get rid of the LaCie software) - once finished, your drive is ready to use for Time Machine or any other backup plans you have for it.

Classic environment is no longer supported.

I am a pc user switching...
I have some old DVDs, vol 1 an vol II. Vol II is the newest, and have the "built for OS X" logo on it, but both are old. They install fine under windows XP.
The MAC installation is to drap a folder, open the folder, and start the program (no installer dmg like I have seen elsewhere). However, you then get the error message:
you can't open the application "Hemera Photo-Objects" because the Classic environment is no longer supported.
I have boot camp/parrallels, so I realize I could access them that way, but they work so poorly it would be a pain.
I have no idea what the error message means, is there a way around it? The mfg no longer support mac that I can see.
Bob

As Baltwo already mentioned, Classic is the name for Mac OS 9 running under Mac OS X in emulation. Apps for Mac OS 9 are different than Mac OS X apps. In the early days of Mac OS X, most people still used a lot of Mac OS 9 apps, so there was an emulator built-in (called, you guessed it, "Classic").
As Mac hardware has moved to the Intel chips (Mac OS 9 ran on PowerPC chips), it has become more and more difficult to support Classic, and less and less useful, since most people don't use Mac OS 9 apps anymore. So, recent hardware doesn't support Classic, and Leopard dropped all support for Classic.
There are third-party solutions, though they're not going to be easy to use, primarily due to the need to find an old Mac ROM image. I have been unsuccessful at finding one to download... old links are gone now. If this software is something you really need, it might be easier to visit eBay and buy a cheap older Mac.

Sync no longer working under 10.6.3

I can no longer sync under 10.6..3 to MobileMe, it worked perfectly prior to the update. When I open my address book I get the following pop up box stating:
You need to replace your Contact Information on MobileMe. There is a box to click on that says "Replace". When I click on the box nothing happens.
I went to the preferences pane and selected MobileMe-Sync-Advanced and invoked Reset Sync Data. That also did not work. I went to MobileMe using Safari and deleted all my contacts and tried everything again and nothing worked again. So I am stuck and unable to upload or sync from my computer to MobileMe. Incidentally, I also tried to run all the scripts using Cocktail and cleared all the caches. Any more ideas for me?

as said worked fine under 10.5 and 10.4 on differtn Mac machines.
a firmware upgrade from LG.
can only be done under Windooz, correct? or can you do this on a Mac?
Have you tried it with USB just to verify whether or not it works that way?
just did, USB option works.

HT1338 Quicktime Player no longer plays under Mountain Lion

Quicktime Player no longer plays under Mountain Lion. It loads, I can see the video but it does not move when clicked on to advance. It does move page by page mannually with the arrow buttons but does not play when clicked on the video advance button.

Is this a known problem?
Yes, if you mean that the MOV file may contain data that is not supported by the QT X AV Foundation, Modernizer, and Convert 64-bit QT X structures embedded in the Mavericks and Yosemite operating systems but still supported by the 32-bit QT 7 structure still included in these operating systems and/or supported by the "open" codec configuration accessible by QT 7.
Has the format of mov files been changed?
I don't believe the file container format has changed but security updates and/or Mavericks/Yosemite codec support limitations may fail to recognize or support a particular file container/data compression format combination. Since you have not provided any information regarding the data actually contained in the MOV file, it is impossible to be more specific here. However, in most cases it is possible to use any of the available FFmpegX based transcoding utilities to manually convert unsupported data to file/compression combinations that are compatible with both QT X and QT 7 based apps under any current Mac OS X systems.
