Problems with T-Mobile Hotspots?

I am having trouble with Mail at some T-M hotspots. After logging in I can successfully search the Web. But when I launch mail it just spins and cannot send or receive mail (POP and IMAP, secure and not). Without changing anything when I start my VPN I can get and send mail from all of my accounts.
I believe the problem is at T-M since it is intermittent and differs at different of their sites. But I could be wrong.
Has anyone else had this problem or do you have any feedback and suggestions?
Thanks
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.7)

I had this problem recently in a hotel. If you enter the debug menu and select MSIE 6.0 for Windows as the user agent it works fine. I only have Safari and Firefox installed and neither would let me access the hotspot page.
To get the DeBug Menu in Safari:
Open HD->Applications->Terminal; at the cursor, a gray block, type the following:
defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeDebugMenu 1

Cisco WLC 5508 with 3702APs - mobile hotspot for 2000 Guest users

Cisco WLC 5508 with 3702APs - mobile hotspot for 2000 Guest users
I've been given a fantastic "opportunity" by my boss to use our existing wireless infrastructure to provide internet access to potentially upto 2000 VIP guests arriving with BYOD devices, in a very densely populated area for a 3 day event. We are talking an area of approx 200m x 15m. Think of it as an awards ceremony/concert. The solution will also be mobile so we will be using internet breakout from different telcos as it will move to approx 20 countries. The area is also incredibly densely populated with other wifi APs. I did a brief site survey and AirMagnet could detect over 2500 other 'rogue' APs from where I was stood! I hope CleanAir works!
We need a simple authentication method for them to connect with zero admin from our side. We don't want to just offer up a rolling daily PSK as that's a bit amateur and we don't really want the VIP guests sharing the PSK with others during their stay. Ideally they could self-provision by providing an email address.
I know the WLC can handle webauth for local users but I don't think it scales very well. ie I don't think I can offer the account to several hundred people.
Cisco ISE looks a very expansive (and expensive) product but I don't think we need all it's capabilities (do I?). It would be nice to just ask a potential user for their email address and grant them access and email them next year. I've seen Cisco NAC but that looks over the top too for just guest users who will only be accessing a shared internet connection.
I've seen 3rd party supposed software solutions from Kiosk Antamedia etc do they work with Cisco Enterprise WLC solutions?
We'd like to limit users to a certain (low) bandwidth and block (say) torrent traffic to keep the general user experience worthwhile.
Does anybody have any case study documents or experience of such a project? As well as the authentication it's how well the APs will handle the dense potential number of clients trying to connect in such a confined space.
Any suggestions would be gratefully appreciated from the knowledgeable community.
Cheers,
Mike

Hi Rasika,
We are having WLC 5508 model with software version running 7.4.121.0. AP Models are AIR-CAP2602I.
Normally our WAN links are good even while the issue pertains. We are connected to remote offices over ipsec site to site vpn for WAN. The link latency in WLC between the AP and the controller shows <1ms.
currently the Guest network is using WPA2-PSK auth given in the controller. we are trying to find a option to make the Guest wireless auth local to the office, and see if this solves the problem.
any suggestions,
Thank you,
Arjun

Yes another user with problem with Apple Mobile Device Support, I am getting the error message: Service 'Apple Mobile Device'(Apple Mobile Device) failed to start. Vertify that you have sufficient privileges to start system service....

Yes another user with problem with Apple Mobile Device Support, I am getting the error message: Service 'Apple Mobile Device'(Apple Mobile Device) failed to start. Vertify that you have sufficient privileges to start system service....I hit retry and it came up again. I hit ignore and it prompted me to hit finish so Itunes can open. I looked thru alot of these posts on here to try and resolve this problem myself but it's not working too well...I downloaded Itunes to my desktop so I can right click it with the program i downloaded called WinRAR. I extracted it and then went into the folder called Itunes64setup. I saw the file called AppleMobileDeviceSupport64 in there so I began to try and download it on it's own. Well that didn't work as I planned and got this error message:
Apple Mobile Device Support wasn't installed on your computer. The installer encountered errors before Apple Mobile Device Support could be configured. Your system has not been modified. To retry these operations at a later time,please run the installer again.
Well I tried to run it again and came up with the same message...I see that some people got great support to help them so I am hoping someone can help me as well. I know "b nor" is very qualfied and hopefully can help me! Please advise what I can do. Thank you

Hi bluebanana 66,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
There are a few reasons why you might receive this message after installing iTunes. You may need to verify that iTunes has been completely removed before trying to install again. See this article for the steps to completely remove and reinstall iTunes:

I'm having problems with my mobile internet connection

I'm having problems with my mobile internet connection. Wifi works fine. It seems like my connection get lost every tuesday and friday between 11 and 12 am local time (guess it would be between 2 and 3 am Los angeles time for example). The connection won't comeback by itself. I have to turn the phone, iPhone 4s iOS 5.0.1, off and back on again. The connection immediatly works fine after the restart and stays fine for days. I really don't know what to do. My provider doesn't seem to know either. Tried a lot of things, new settings, resets, I even got a new iPhone. Still the same problem however. Richt now I changes the time setting to see it the problem occurs at another time. Btw: the phone doesn't say "no service" and I can send sms messages and make phonecalls. The 3G symbol or the circular symbol is shown next to the name of the provider.
Does somebody has an idea what this might be? Thanks a lot.

Update. My carrier says the antenna of my iPhone 4s is not so good as the one in the iPhone 3G. They can't solve the problem. Their signal is too weak for the 4s at places I spend most of my time. Not the answer I expected, but I'm free to choose an other carrier. Hope this will help.
This was not the correct answer, I accidentially clicked the button..

Will the airport devices and time capsule work with telstras mobile hotspot (Sierra Wireless AirCard 753S Mobile Hotspot)??

will the airport devices and time capsule work with telstras mobile hotspot (Sierra Wireless AirCard® 753S Mobile Hotspot)??

Yes. There are 2 ways you could use these devices:
Wirelessly 'join' the network. This would be slower and doesn't offer extending functionality.
Use an Ethernet cable (through Powerline if you can't run a cable). This is faster and offers extending functionality. I would recommend using Bridge Mode if possible.

Problems with Vodafone Mobile Card (Huawei E220)

I have a Vodafone Mobile Card with the latest firmaware and with the latest software on the Mac (the official software from Vodafone, kinda like launch2net) and all worked fine in Tiger, but now in Leopard, I did a clean install, installed the Vodafone software, it works fine the first time I use it and then, after unplugging, when I use it again it never works.
The Vodafone Mobile Connect launches, accepts the password, measures the signal but when I tell it to activate, it just hangs and I have to force quit. Sometimes, after force quitting I can still do the normal connection (choosing modem and connecting) but this only works sometimes.
Does anybody have this problem also? How can I fix it?

I am experiencing a similar problem with Vodafone Mobile Connect 3G (Version 2.08.01.00), however, I am not running OS 10.5. The modem was working fine on both of my computers for about 3 weeks, but now it does not work on my Macbook while it continues to work on my old iMac. When I launch VMC it hangs before the activation window appears and I have to either force quit or it quits itself; no error message window appears. Both computers have the same recent software updates from Apple. I am going to do a clean install of the old software on the Macbook, but I am nervous that when I unplug the modem from my iMac, the same problem will occur on it and then I will be without a connection.
I downloaded VMC software (in English) from here:

A problem with WAAS mobile client

The customer has a problem with WAAS mobile client. When he disabled WAAS mobile client - all is working, but http is not working.:-( On the server the accelerated networks are configured.The browser send the http request, but the response is not received:-( For other clients it is working. Thank you for help.

I have WAAS mobile server version 3.4.0.1460 on the Windows2003 server with SP1. Client OS is Windows XP. All clients who use WAAS mobile client have WinXP on their notebooks. All clients are on the same network. This client sees this problem when the waas client is active, disabled, and for now when the waas mobile client is uninstalled - it seems like waas mobile client changed registers for IE or FireFox - so all http answers are redirected to nonexisting waas mobile client:-(
Thank you

Apple's xpress port has a problem with Apogee mobile card...

Who can I speak with about this problem? I tried here, I tried Apple support ? Nobody can answer my question about this problem? I purchased a new MacBook Pro in January to use with Apogee mobile card but the xpress port in MacBook Pro has a major problem because of it's new design? Please can someone convey were to get help in Apple or a least an answer..Please someone.........

Hi,
What I mean is the microphone jack on your x-fi notebook. since you are saying you can hear yourself when you switch the recording source to microphone, I would assume that you have plugged in a microphone into your x-fi notebook. You should check if there is a microphone control on your volume mixer and whether it is unmuted if there is one. There are many sound card which allows for the microphone audio to be heard on the speaker output if the microphone source is unmuted.

Droid X - Problem using 3G Mobile Hotspot

About half the time I use my Droid X 3G Mobile Hotspot feature it drops from a 3G signal to a 1X signal. I will have about 3 bars of 3G signal, I will turn the 3G Mobile Hotspot feature on and the signal will drop to a 1X signal. If I turn the feature off, it will return to a 3G signal. Does anybody else have this problem or know how to fix it?
Thanks

I have seen a few reference to the number of 3G bars they have, are you by chance referring to the signal strength bars, because if you are combining these two I hope you relieve the bars meter represent the phones signal strength not the 3G strength.. The phone has more than one radio signal, the phone and data signal are not transmitted from the same signal so just because the phone is receiving a good does not mean the 3G data signal is as strong... The only indicator you have to indicate your data connection is the 3G and 1X indicator on the top status bar.
Try moving device and see if the phone returns to 3G mode because I haven't noticed this issue but I have noticed the drop of a signal strength of phone when a data connection is active. Never nothing major but it does drop until data connection is disconnected. Sounds like a software bug.

MacBook Pro problem with iPhone personal hotspot connection

I think there is a problem with my airport, I can't connect to any iPhone personal hotspots anymore - I used to be able to connect to them, and now it connects but with an exclamation mark saying there is no internet connection? Any help would be great!

What's the problem with T-Mobile nokia phones?

I recently bought a nokia 5300 T-Mobile here in Kenya but then am experiencing problems accessing local networks that is SAFARICOM and CELTEL.I tried consulting and everyone seems to believe that the T-Mobile phones are just like that...have network problems. I understand T-mobile is south African (though not sure. Could somebody out there help me? what do I need to do to help solve the problem?

In addition to the previous answers, the problem with the Seagate HD's involved in the recall is that they have a very high failure rate, to the extent that Apple expanded the recall to cover more computers than it initially did. For example, a user on Macintouch (another online Mac support community that is well worth checking out) reported that his company bought 40 iMacs and 25 of them needed their 1TB Seagate drives replaced.
So if you can, get somebody with access to your computer to backup its HD as soon as possible if you don't already have a full backup.
