Possible to manually install moble broadband modem later on?

I'm getting a thinkpad helix and was wondering if anyone knew if it is possible to manually install the mobile wwan sim card slot manually after purchasing a model that does not include the mobile wwan feature? I found the same network card that thinkpad offers on amazon but don't know if I would be able to open the helix up and install the wwan card myself. Only reason I'm doing this is because I would like to buy the tablet now but lenovo doesn't offer any kind of financing so I'm going to use either ebay or amazon to buy a helix so I can use a credit limit I have with them to buy it. I'll have the money I just don;'t have the money right now. ANyway none of the helix on either ebay or amazon have 3g wwan capability which is the only problem. I want to be able to buy one on ebay or amazon and then install the wwan card myself. Would this be possible?

I don't know about sim card reader, but it's possible to add wwan card yuorself. Look at this service video under "Tablet FRU Videos" item:
http://service.lenovo.partner-management.com/content/CourseWarePublic/18124/player.html
Usually all new generation ThinkPads are "wwan ready" i.e.have sim card slot and wwan antennas kit. In this case they don't include special mark regarding wwan ready features in short model description on Lenovo site in opposite of previous laptop generation.

How to install 3G Broadband Modem on my Tecra R850

i want to install a hardware for 3g mobile broadband in my Tecra R850 pt520a-01s003. is it possible?

Well, the Tecra R850 PT520A-01T00301 supports 3G broadband modem.
The point is that the SIM card slot is part of the motherboard and if your notebook does not support the SIM card slot, the upgrade would not be possible.
The sim card slot should be placed behind the batteryso you need to remove the battery firstly to check this.
The 3G card the PCI-E mini card can be connected to motherboard and its removable.
Furthermore the 3G modules needs an 3G antenna so the whole notebook needs to be disassembled to install and to hide the 3G antenna cables
The whole procedure will be really, really difficult and I think only an authorized service technician with good notebook experience could do that.

Is it possible to manually install bonjour service?

I have a new system and an older iPod Touch. I've been trying to install the latest version of iTunes, but I keep getting an error: "Service 'Bonjour Service' (Bonjour Service) could not be installed. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to install system services."
I have been trying to install the app using an Administrator's account on Windows 7 Pro 64-bit so I should have sufficient privileges. There's only one article on Bonjour Service being prevented from running, and it refers to a McAfee firewall problem. I'm running Trend Micro, so it's of no help.
Given that information, is there a way to manually install the Bonjour Service so that I can actually get the latest version of iTunes installed on my system?

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it, which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if one component, such as Bonjour, won't install normally.
As given try temporarily disabling your antivirus software during the install.

How to Install 3G Broadband Modem in Tecra R850

My model Number is: TECRA R850 PT520A-01S003
I Found SIM card conector under bettery but no 3G modem Hardware installed.
I bought a 3G Broadband Card [Sierra MC8775 HSDPA ] but how to install?

Sierra MC8775 HSDPA.jpg ‏143 KB

I don't know if all of the motherboards have the connectors needed, or if the models without the 3G card installed at the factory have the needed antenna.
There is a small port on the bottom of the computer that you can open after removing a screw. This allows access to the connectors for antennae to the WiFi and (if present) 3G cards. So you could at least see if the antennae are there(or at least their connectors).
However, the cards themselves seem to be larger than the port, and require pretty much a complete diassembly of the computer in order to get to the motherboard. And even then, it is possible that the connector for the 3G card may not exist on the motherboard.

Since installing my broadband modem & software why can't I shut down?

I have just got broadband,via a voyager 105 modem, but since installing it I have to hold down the restart button to shut down, and I get an error message on switching my mac back on that "Mac OSx shut down unexpectedly". I've tried clicking on the disconnect icon prior to shutting down but still the same thing happens. What's going on & how can I fix it? HELP!
Mac mini G4 Mac OS X (10.4) new switcher

If your using a BT voyager 105 this is a USB ADSL modem then you will experience difficulties. Unfortunately USB ADSL modems have never worked very well in OSX. USB ADSL modems require drivers to work on your mac. They have a history of being buggy and inefficient.
The only way to have a reliable ADSL experience is to replace your USB ADSL modem with an Ethernet ADSL modem/router.
An Ethernet ADSL modem does not require drivers and will work on any platform.

Is it possible to manually install and configue a POA?

We had a major system melt-down last night which resulted in the OES server requiring filesystem repairs (running on EXT3).
The result of the file system repair was a number of missing files, including several userxxx.db files.
I forced the system to recreate the missing userxxx.db files, but now I need to restore their content.
Tech support suggested that I restore the system from my latest backup tapes to a different server, then install and configure a POA to run against the restored system.
The lack of a MTA prevents delivery attempts and users can point their client to the second POA, archive desired content to their local drive, reconnect to the production server and unarchive to their production accounts.
Unfortunately, I can not discover a way to install the POA without running the main installation process.
I can install and configure a GW 2012 POA, but to my knowledge, that POA can't use the files from a 2014 system.
Any suggestions?
If I installed and configured a 2012 POA, would the GW 2014 installation process allow for upgrading that POA independent of any other actions?

Hi.
Many thanks on the extensive report back. It'll be very useful for others.
CU,
Massimo

How can I manually install software from recovery partition?

Hi,
I'm looking for information about how install preinstalled software after OS upgrade.
As far as I can see, it is done through 3 different locations:
Recovery partition (D: drive)
SMINST Folder (located in %Windows%)
hp Folder (invisible folder in C
First step is to identify the machine (brand/model) to allow installation.
Then, scripts will install packages.
It should the be possible to manually install the software from the recovery partition.
As far as this software is bought with the computer (so part of the price) and there is no way of getting the original installers from the support website (only updates available), it would be "fair" to be able to perform a manual install...
Is there anyone with this knowledge?
Thx in advance for your help.
Service is the lifeblood of any organization.
Everything flows from it and is nourished by it.
Customer Service is not a department... It's an attitude

I cannot believe no one replied to you. I am having the same problem. I can print but not scan thru the MFNP feature. I'm not sure how/why it is working for printing. I setup the print driver on all my client laptops to my wifi router/access-point such that its SNMP-enabled on channel 1. The MNFP port said 161 on the printer when it was working. Not sure these two protocols are the same... SNMP and MNFP. I think the latter is Canon's own protocol...not sure how to get it to work with my network. I have a Netgear RV6300 access point connected via wired ethernet to the cable modem which is by Arris (one of those all-in one routers/switch/WAP -- but I'm using the Netgear as my WAP for my WLAN, although the printer gets a DHCP assigned IP on the main router - 10.0.0.9) At one point I had it set up as static IP 10.0.0.200. Maybe I will switch back to that...don't know if it will fix scanning though.

Have installed OSX Mavericks and Vodafone Mobile Broadband Modem no longer connects despite reloading its software. Now cannot reinstall OSX Mountain Lion

Upgraded to OSX Mavericks. Vodafone Mobile Broadband Modem no longer connects. Tried again after reinstalling latest Vodafone Modem software update for Mac OSX, but no use.

Could somebody give a feedback about the solution proposed by Bokir?
I am experiencing exactly the same problem after upgrading to Mavericks with the Huawei E220 modem.
The connection is established for a few seconds, but no data is transfered, and the connection is then closing automatically.
I left the modem plugged in and the Vodafone software set to Automatic, and after numerous attempts and 10 to 15 minutes, it appeared that the connection was finally established.
That is of course no way to work.
After running the VMB uninstaller, there are still a lot of stuff in library cache & preference folder that are pertaining to VMB and not removed.
It is also strange that after uninstalling and reinstalling the VMB software, I am not requested to enter my pin code to establish a connection.
It is obvious that there must be some other VMB files (probably corrupted) somewhere in the system that are not removed by the uninstaller.
I have another macbook pro running VMB without problem and I am really afraid to install Mavericks on this laptop because of this issue.
Thanks again for any feedback.

Read this for all having problem setting up Routers with Broadband Modems

I have used Netgear and Linksys for years now, but hadn't setup a new router for a while. Hence, struggled installing a new Airport Extreme to replace my Linksys Router which was not providing enough signal strength for my Mac Mini based iTunes database to stream to my Apple TV wirelessly. Here is what I did finally to resolve the issue:
My setup: Arris TM502G broadband modem provided by Comcast
1. I kept the old router powered up and removed the WAN connection from it and connected it to the AE.
2. After I installed the Airport Utility, I powered up the AE and let it go thru the installation process and allowed it to pick up the settings from the old router. This step is simple and can be done manually.
3. After that the struggle began as "Renew DHCP" wouldn't get me a valid 71.xxx.xxx.xxx series IP address from the Modem. I read all the posts (and felt the same pain as others). Saw very helpful posts with good intention to help others like "remove the power", "remove the battery from the modem", "let it sit without power for 24hrs", etc.. I couldn't use some of these suggestions as my house will be without an internet connection for a long time.
4. Finally, I pressed the "Reset" switch behind the modem for a few seconds until all but the power indicator had turned off indicating a reset. Once it came up and all the LEDs were lit, a few seconds later the LED on the AE turned solid Green indicating success. Looked at the Airport Utility and indeed it had got the new IP address.
There are not too many broadband modem manufacturers and so it shouldn't be too difficult to publish the installation procedure under FAQ on Apple support website for all the modems that Apple's test team has tested with. It could save a lot of grief. Even for a geek like me, I had to burn the midnight oil.
PS: My Apple TV is now streaming the movies/tv shows/home videos from my Mac Mini smoothly. That was the reason I purchased this expensive router. And I found the "guest access" feature which I wasn't aware of. Excellent feature to let my son's friends hook up their laptops during a study/school project session without letting them access our other home computers.

do you mean to see that the XP machine is working as a VPN server ?? if yes then you need not require to forward ports on the router...the laptop should be able to connect to the VPN server remotely ..
if not , then connect the VPN server directly to the modem and check whether you can connect to the VPN server remotely from the router ..

Is a Happy Marriage Possible? New Airport Extreme & ADSL Modem/Router

Is a Happy Marriage Possible? New Airport Extreme & ADSL Modem/Router
1. I’m writing from a rural town in Southern Nepal, very close to India. I’m planning to create a new WI-FI network at a small monastery here. Ideally, we will have two parallel wireless networks: the first network produced by an ADSL router/modem and a second network produced by another router in “repeater” mode.
2. Earlier, someone suggested that, when I post a question, I should provide as many details as possible about the situation here. Forgive me if there is “too much information”. I have to make a trip to the US to buy new networking equipment, so I very much want to get this right. Once I return here, I’ll be pretty much stuck with whatever I get in the US.
3. The future routers will live next to each other in an office and could be linked by a cable (if this is the best route to go). We do not wish to “expand” the network (in the sense of making a larger WI-FI network), but rather wish to simply have two networks, hence one ADSL router/modem and one router with the “repeater” function (out-of-the-box without any jerry rigging). Both WI-FI signals need to travel approximately 100 (largely unobstructed) feet.
4. If my dreams come true, the second router would be an Apple Airport Extreme (AX). An Apple router would be ideal because my experience with Apple routers is happy: they are easy to set up, reliable, and secure. Moreover, we use Apple computers and iOS devices here (and the new AX has the “ac” thing which will be preferable as we replace old machines with new ones).
5. Yet, from reading posts and having my prior questions answered on this website, it may be that with an ADSL modem/router, all the ease and happiness of the Apple ecosystem is lost: while Apple routers seem to connect with each other easily, problems appear to arise when users try to inter-marry our non-Apple products with Apples.
6. Our current, super-crappy 2wire 2701hg-t (ADSL modem/router) covers the 100-foot distance without a problem when it is working and there is Ethernet flowing to us. Frequently, our connection is very bad, and I may be unfairly judging the 2wire 2701hg-t. But, based on user reviews on the America Amazon.com, the 2wire 2701hg-t is pretty terrible: first it is simply old and second, among other problems, it seems to have a poor quality power supply unit. I do observe that it frequently seems to be recycling from scratch as if it had turned off and restarted. In any case, we are replacing it since it may be about 4 or 5 years old.
7. In previous posts on this forum, “LaPastenague” responded to some of my earlier questions about AX and ADSL. Among other things, he pointed out that (1) line-attenuation may be contributing to our poor connection and (2) we must choose a modem/router that is suitable for “long lines.” I’ve looked at our current modem/router statistics page; however, there are no statistics for line-attenuation or noise. (As you will see below, my strategy is to get the “better” modem/router that is suitable for long lines.)
8. Concerning our ADSL service, these are the facts I’ve gleaned from looking at the current router’s configuration pages:
Connection Type: PPPoE
Currently, the router is configured to use WPA-PSK security.
Connection Speed: Incoming: 1024 kbps & Outgoing: 509 kbps
(The following information may be unimportant at this time.)
Broadband Link Diagnostics:
DSL Synchronization: UP
G.DMT Signal: UP
PVC Connection: UP
PPPoE Service: UP
PPP Authentication: UP
IP Connection: UP
DNS Communication: UP
9. The ISP (Nepal Telecom) doesn’t supply a modem/router; however, they do have a list of (at times ancient) hardware and hardware vendors:
http://www.ntc.net.np/internet/adsl/adsl_vendersConf.php
10. Concerning what equipment is available here, what I have observed is that generally the ADSL modem/routers for sale locally, and in the far-away capital Kathmandu, and in nearby India are often also available in the United States, but they are the cheaper, older models. I will have to buy the new equipment in the US this year. At a different institution nearby, they are using the TP-Link modem/router td-w89016 which they purchased locally, I believe.
11. Based in part on LaPastenague’s earlier advice, I want to buy the TP-LINK TD-W8980 N600 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit ADSL2+ Modem Router (2.4GHz 300Mbps+5Ghz 300Mbps, IPv6 Compatible). This appears to be the most popular ADSL device on Amazon now.
Will this modem/router work EASILY with the Airport Extreme in the manner I’ve described? That is, connecting the two with a cable and creating two WI-FI networks.
12. Also, is it generally correct that the best way to connect them is with an Ethernet cable: https://discussions.apple.com/message/23759755#23759755
13. In fact, does connecting them with a cable help alleviate some of the problems that can occur between the Apple device and the ADSL modem/router?
14. If this will work, what “mode” will the AX device be in (again, in order to have two separate networks with separate passwords)? I have heard of the “repeater”, “roaming” , and “bridge” modes.
15. Are there two levels of passwords which need to be considered? Of course, there is the network and network passwords which we create here and which will be different. But, does the Apple also have to have the ISP password like the principle ADSL modem/router?
16. To set this up, what information do I need from the ISP (e.g., passwords, IPs…)?
I think there are a lot of good reasons to use an AX router. Of course, if it is just going to be very cumbersome then, we would be loosing one of the best parts of using Apple products. So, whoever feels knowledgeable enough to reply to this post, please be sincere if you think it is better to avoid the Apple. Apple can rest assured that I will buy other things from them!
In that case, I’d likely buy a second TP-Link device to create a second network:
TL-Wa801NP [AP Mode Multi-SSID Mode AP Client Mode Repeater Mode (WDS / Universal) AP+ Bridge mode (point-to-point / point to Multi-point)].
Thank you in advance. Long live Apple!

I am not sure if there are different interfaces but my 2wire does an excellent job with line info.
I get into this from browser.. using main IP.. in my case 10.0.0.138/MDC
In your case it should be whatever the IP of the 2wire is, followed by /mdc
Give it a try.
As you can see it shows vendor and loads of info about the line.
I rate it the best domestic modem for line info.
A good modem actually albeit a lousy router.
MDC is the diagnostics and Management Console.
3. The future routers will live next to each other in an office and could be linked by a cable (if this is the best route to go). We do not wish to “expand” the network (in the sense of making a larger WI-FI network), but rather wish to simply have two networks, hence one ADSL router/modem and one router with the “repeater” function (out-of-the-box without any jerry rigging). Both WI-FI signals need to travel approximately 100 (largely unobstructed) feet.
You are not repeating.. you are simply setting up two routers which are interconnected, so one is dependent on the other.. ie one is your adsl modem router and that will take the main router function. Your second router is really not working as a router, but as wireless access point (and switch if you plug things in).
That is perfectly fine. You are not roaming in this case since both routers are running different wireless names and networks.. but they are actually using same IP range.. all devices are on the one IP network with two different wireless access points.
4. If my dreams come true, the second router would be an Apple Airport Extreme (AX).
Apple router is fine for this. Easy to configure out of the box.
5. Yet, from reading posts and having my prior questions answered on this website, it may be that with an ADSL modem/router, all the ease and happiness of the Apple ecosystem is lost: while Apple routers seem to connect with each other easily, problems appear to arise when users try to inter-marry our non-Apple products with Apples.
The problem arises when you try and interconnect using wireless extend or repeater.. you are not using wireless to extend, you are using ethernet. Wired has no issues.
11. Based in part on LaPastenague’s earlier advice, I want to buy the TP-LINK TD-W8980 N600 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit ADSL2+ Modem Router (2.4GHz 300Mbps+5Ghz 300Mbps, IPv6 Compatible). This appears to be the most popular ADSL device on Amazon now.
Will this modem/router work EASILY with the Airport Extreme in the manner I’ve described? That is, connecting the two with a cable and creating two WI-FI networks.
It is a good choice.. It should be fine considering how poor your line is.. this modem is proving to have a couple of bugs.. it does not handle torrents well but I would suggest your system is not being used for that purpose. It has some port forwarding issues. Again you are probably not going to overload it.
12. Also, is it generally correct that the best way to connect them is with an Ethernet cable: https://discussions.apple.com/message/23759755#23759755
Absolutely best.. only decent method.
14. If this will work, what “mode” will the AX device be in (again, in order to have two separate networks with separate passwords)? I have heard of the “repeater”, “roaming” , and “bridge” modes.
Bridge. Although if it gives issues there is another method, although rather complex to setup.. not something to worry about now.
15. Are there two levels of passwords which need to be considered? Of course, there is the network and network passwords which we create here and which will be different. But, does the Apple also have to have the ISP password like the principle ADSL modem/router?
Only the adsl modem has the ISP authentication.. it is the box that does the link. The TC just piggy backs.
The passwords on the TC are for its Admin, wireless and disk access.
16. To set this up, what information do I need from the ISP (e.g., passwords, IPs…)?
For ADSL you must have the PPPoE authentication username and password.
So, whoever feels knowledgeable enough to reply to this post, please be sincere if you think it is better to avoid the Apple.
hmmm.. I am biased because I see the issues not all the good stories..
The latest airport and Time Capsule seem to have a few pretty severe bugs.. if they happen to hit you, they are extremely hard to fix if you are in the middle of Nepal. And Apple service centre is a long long way away.
I cannot answer your question from the point of view of a person on the ground in remote area. If the economics of the purchase works for you, great. Go for it.
In terms of wireless coverage.. the Asus AC models or Netgear R7000 kill the Apple. Sorry but it is just fact.
See reviews here.
http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/lanwan/router-charts/bar/113-5-ghz-dn-c
That is average.. if you look at the apple router in the worst location by changing the filters, it comes out worse again.
I cannot post the URL to our local forum here.. (apple doesn't allow it). But in testing with apple clients the asus still beat Apple router soundly.
Pure wireless range is not the only consideration.. but in a mixed environment and since the wireless on the 8980N is not too bad.. then buy Apple router for apple client devices makes good sense.
Maybe the older Gen5.. or two of them.. would do a better job.. with a bit more tested and known hardware.
One thing you do need to check.
Routers from every other brand allow you to select country. Any country from anywhere in the world. Apple routers do not.
If you buy an airport in North America it is coded to North America and offers just a few countries.. USA, Canada I suppose.. what else is North America??
You cannot change it to Nepal.
To get the one for Nepal you must buy the model that covers, South Asia I guess.. I am not sure which it is.
See what the license information is for wifi in Nepal as it might be very different to US and therefore illegal for you to run it in Nepal.
If only the whole world would just bow to America.. we could all follow the FCC regs..
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_WLAN_channels
This only applies to the Apple.. the TP-Link etc allows you to choose Nepal or correct country regulations for wifi.
Buying modems has one tricky bit.. that the actual adsl ATM channel is different in different parts of the world. No modem is usually impossible to setup but some can be difficult if it is pre-configured for US.. this is easy to overcome generally as you can download a firmware for another locality, so you can have local settings.

Also why would the OP need a bootable SL installation media when they want to install ML?

Is it possible to re-install iWork 09 without the physical CD?

I bought iWork 09 two years ago from an Apple store in the UK but have since moved abroad to Australia.
I installed the software on my MacBook (late 2008 model) but have since had to replace the hard drive so it is no longer installed.
Is it possible to re-install iWork 09 without needing to pay to re-download it from the App store? I have the serial numbers and barcodes but not the physical disc with me.
Thanks

The physical DVD required no serial number. If you have lost that yes you will need to buy the M.A.S version with the consolation that it is cheap here and can be installed on all your Macs at no extra charge.
If you have a serial number it is possible you bought the downloadable version, in which case use that to install and use the serial number when prompted.

Is it possible to upgrade a macbook pro 15 late 2008 memory upgrade to 8 go

Hi from Belgium,
Is it possible to upgrade a macbook pro 15 late 2008 memory from 4 to 8 go. And if yes would i have to replace both memory modules.
I'm also experiencing problems with the battery. Could you tell me if the new replacement batteries are based on the new techonology (long lasting) or if the replacement battery will be the same as the original one.
Thanks and have a good day.

Hi CMCSK and thanks.
Maybe it's because of the SMC reset I've done.
My computer wasn't responding to the power button when pressed and used to shut down unexpectedly so I did the SMC reset as per the procedure hereafter.

So according to you, the battery seems to work properly and doesn't need to be replaced.
Don't know if it's important but the figures I gave where the one with magsafe connected.
In fact for the time beeing I only use my computer with magsafe plugged.
I just unplugged the magpower and here are the new figures after 10 minutes.
Charge Information:
Charge Remaining (mAh):          3103
Fully Charged:          No
Charging:          No
Full Charge Capacity (mAh):          3491
Health Information:
Cycle Count:          245
Condition:          Normal
Battery Installed:          Yes
Amperage (mA):          -1431
Voltage (mV):          11816
Are these figures still ok ? Thanks for your help and have a good day.

Sno Leopard does not compatible to my broadband modem

Dear Sir or Madam,
Last month, I made the new Snow leopard installed in my mac book pro as advertised that we can go faster with it. Having had the SL installed I could not start browsing using my broadband modem.
Then I brought it to my ISP provider and found that it is not compatible with my broadband. The same answer I got from the reseler technician, and so I have to uninstall it and return it back to the previous one, Mac Os 10.5.8.
Lucky for me I have made a back up prior the installation but not for the Mail, I lost all the contacts and mails. So I have to take the address in contact from my iphone.
Please do necessary upgrade on this since I believ some of the users may have been facing the same problem. Thanks and regards, Aryanto Ramli from Jakarta, Indonesia.

Problem solved.
In reading another thread, noticed a simiar problem. In pairing, I ignored the fact that neither uconnect nor the phone detected each other, and entered the default PIN "0000"into Uconnect. Once entered things began to proceed - Uconnect and the iphone5 detected each other and the rest proceeded as normal.

Possible to manually install moble broadband modem later on?
