Problems with Telstra 4G usb modems

Does anyone use a $G usb modem and it is constantly dropping out, especially skype/ face time?

Hi, I can't even get my MacBook to recognise my USB modem. It works on all my non-Mac laptops! How did you get yours to work even if intermittntly?

Hi Karol.
I've read that article and i've used mkwvconf to configure my ISP before postting here, but i thought that user and pasword were not necessaries and i was wrong. I've need set Username and Password to empty string.
My configuration is:
[Dialer Jazztel]
Modem Type = Analog Modem
Phone = *99***1#
ISDN = 0
Baud = 460800
Username = ''
Password = ''
Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0
Init1 = AT+CPIN=MyPIN
Init2 = ATZ
Init3 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
Init4 = at+cgdcont=1,"ip","jazzinternet"
Stupid Mode = 1
Now works.
Thanks and best regards.

Problem with Huawei E180 USB Mobile Modem

I have a little problem with my Huawei E180, that is causing only some inconvenience. If the modem is plugged in before turning on the power to the iMac, the Leopard doesn't boot up at all, just a blank white screen appears. After unplugging the modem and rebooting, there is no problems. There are no other problems with connections or anything, just this.
This is only annoying, but I would like to know if there is some way to solve this problem. Or is this just a thing to live with? I couldn't find anything about this kind of problems with Google, or from Huawei's support forum or anywhere else.
EDIT: I've been using Mac only for a month or so, so please be specific with answers.

Originally the Huawei is a Windows 2000 and Windows XP ONLY device, if you use Vodafone or Nova Media, they have their own custom made software which makes it mac compatible...
The Huawei E180 does not use OEM drivers, at least ones that would be included with Leopard hence it does not recognize the USB dongle at boot up. Plus remember that when Leopard finds a network it will want to connect and configure everything out first before booting. In the case of GSM / 3G modem you may have to enter your username & password and save it in the "keychain", etc...
The modems natively supported by Leopard are found here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1122
You will have to leave the Huawei E180 unplugged until you boot up into Leopard and then plug it in. Then Leopard will recognize and find the correct driver for it.

WiFi solution using Telstra wireless USB modem

Having perused the many discussions concerning difficulties with wireless networking using OS X Lion, I now have little confidence as a new Mac owner in establishing such an internet connection unaided .
After much technical support, I come to realise that my current telstra USB modem (sierra wireless compass 885) being used with a pc laptop is not directly compatible with OS X 10.7.3.
My basic need is to have an internet connection on my Macbook and an ideal situation of being able to network with pc, Apple TV and possibly a backup device such as time capsule.
So, I figure my options are to either purchase a new compatible USB modem and router, or purchase a wifi router that will allow me to connect my Mac to the internet wirelessly through the existing pc connection.
Please advise on the viability of these options, insofar as the likelihood of establishing and maintaining such a network without the need for a fixed line ethernet ADSL type connection. Further to this, I would appreciate any recommendations for suitable modems and routers.

Do you need a modem because you have a dial-up ISP? There are several USB modems that work with Macs listed on Amazon. Just search for USB modems and you'll be able to find customer comments suggesting ones that work with Macs. There is a US Robotics on Amazon with reviews that say that it works with Lion -
http://www.amazon.com/USRobotics-USR5637-FaxModem-Windows-Linux/dp/B0013FDLM0/re f=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1335769698&sr=8-1
If you have a DSL or cable modem, I would suggest in investing in a good wireless router so that you could connect all your computers. For Time Machine, I don't use the wireless drives that Apple sells, I just use a G-Drive Firewire drive. There are a lot of good outers on the market - I have a LinkSys (Cisco) that I bought a couple of years ago that is a great little 4-port router. Try http://home.cisco.com/en-us/home for a selection of good routers (others here may have other brand preferences, but Cisco has always worked well for me with minimum set-up required).
More specifics would help - what Mac you have, if your ISP is dial-up, DSL or cable, etc.

Problem with the ports USB.

When I connect a device USB to my motherboard K8T NEO FIS2R the system it can only hung independently of the device usb that connects (camera web, Modem ADSL, reader of cards flash). Besides when I ignite the machine with a device USB connected to the port the image of the bios me appears distorted and with strange characters.
Since I can solve the problem? It is a problem of my motherboard?
Regards.
Note: I changed the bios to the last version and the problem continues happening.

Hi
If you mean that the bios post screen is not showing the post info, but a mash of scrambled characters.
1. Check the Bios settings, use safe default, and Fast instead of turbo. are USB features enabled, are you using the correct ammount of ports setting.
2 What USB drivers are you using, the windows ones, or the via ones on companion CD.
3. What specs is your system, could be PSU or Ram problem.
the +3.3v , +5v , +12v amps from PSU label

I hate to say it, but I agree with carbon_unit, this sounds like a Windows problem.
As a long shot you could try uninstalling all USB hubs in Device Manager, re-install the Chipset Drivers and restart the sytem to allow the USB hubs automatically installed again. I doubt this will help, but it's all I could think of.

Problems with my computer (USB 3.0 and LAN)

Hi there,
A few months ago i have built my own computer. I selected the parts and asked if it will work together with no problems.
After I built it and installed Windows 8.1 I detected that almost everything worked. Only the USB 3.0 did not work properly but I had no big worries because it was no big issue for me.
Today I decided to use a LAN connection (cable) instead of using a WIFI adapter. I found that the computer didn't detect the cable. First I thought that there was no signal trough the cable so I checked it. I put the cable in my Playstation 3 and did a Internet test. Everything worked. So I found it strange that the cable didn't worked in the computer (same cable as playstation). I searched the internet if I had installed the correct drivers. After looking in Device manager I found that there was no Internet adapter connected (I disconnected my WIFI adapter). Up to now I didn't resolved the problem but I tried a lot of things.
For the USB 3.0, I found that there is an unkown device (device manager) and when I let it search for the proper driver it says that it don't have enough information.
The name for the device is: USB xHCI-compatible hostcontroller (translated from Dutch). In the BIOS it detects which component I connect to the USB 3.0 Slot but when I am in windows (8.1), It says nothing (not even a sound that it's connected). So I think it is something with the drivers or chipset??
Parts of my computer:
Intel I5 4670K (Haswell) (Socket 1150)
MSI GTX 770
2x Ballistix 4GB RAM memory
Samsung EVO 120GB SSD
Seagate 1TB HDD
MSI B85M-G43
Case is an Fractal Design R4 windowed black
My questions
- How do I install the Networkcard properly
- How do I install the USB 3.0 Properly
I would appreciate it if you could solve the problems for me!
Already thanks!
Jur

Can you share the screen shot of the device manager?
According to B85M-G43, it is equipped with 4 x USB 3.0 ports (2 ports on the back panel, 2 ports available through the Intel USB connectors)
No need to install USB 3.0 driver in WIN8.1 just in-box is okay.
Did you tried the LAN driver from the website?

Problems with Sinn7 Audio USB Interface on Mountain Lion

Hi Guys.
I have problems with my USB Audio Interface Sinn7 Status 24/96 on Mountain Lion system.
When i istalled drivers, system doesn't detect the card. After the system reboot, when i pluck the card in to usb, system makes a kernel panic.
My hardware: MacBook Pro 15'' Late 2011 / OS X Mountain Lion / Audio Interface: Sinn7 Status 24/96.

Hey DSevenPL,
Have you sorted this issue yet? I'm having the same problem on my mid 2012 Macbook Pro.
I had been running the sound card earlier on the same machine that you have (late 2011) w/out a problem but then got the new machine and it wouldn't read the sound card. Same issues as you.
Months of searching has turned up with nothing (and Sinn is unresponsive) so any insight would be greatly appreciated!

Problem with zoomG2.1u USB audio interface

Hello,
I've just started using my MacBook Pro as a recording unit lately and I've had some problems with my zoomG2.1u . It doesn't seem to be recognised by the Mac or by Ableton Live. In system preferences I got absolutely no USB input whatsoever, and neither in Ableton Live. The only input I have everywhere is Ext in wich is the standard microphone.
Am I doing something wrong, do I need a specific driver?
Thank you in advance .

I took a look into the preferences of garageband on my MacBook - there are two different choosable options in Audio/MIDI. First Audio out: set to systempreferences second: Audio in: set to systempreferences.
Is this the right setting for my extern - microphone?
In the systempreferences panel the settings are line out and line in.
I also see the boxes flash when i speak into my plugged in micro.
So i think its right set.
Or isn´t it?
Does the audio input level have a relation on this sounds?

Problems with the first USB port

Hi,
I'm having a problem with my 13 inch i5 Macbook Pro
For some reason my first USB port isn't working well, doesn't matter what, i plug in it just won't recognize anything.
But whenever I restart my mac, everything works well, and after about 2~3 days it stopps again and I have to reset or log out my mac again..
I tried to reset the SMC and the PRAM, it didn't work
This is freaking me out, I've never dropped my mac or something. It's not really old bought it in august.
I also upgraded to lion, it didn't work sadly and this problem still exists.
I'm pretty sure some people have this too, this is not an hardware issue, it's a software issue
Does anyone got any idea?
Thanks

MacBook with non-Apple USB Modem

Greetings,
I just got a MacBook. However, it was without an int modem. Before I go and buy the more expensive Apple USB modem, can other brands usb modem usable? Thanks.

If you'd like instructions on change your USB back to a previous version, check out the link on this posting.

I've had no problems since doing this. It's not really modem problem but rather a software problem.

Problem with front panel USB connector

Motherboard: MS-6750
I have a problem with my front panel USB connector JUSB2 not working.
I have checked the connection to be sure that it is oriented correctly.
I also made sure that it was enabled in the BIOS.
Still no luck. There is not any voltage on this either.
I see a jumper or pin labeled JGS1 just below the JDLED1...do not know what this is and cannot find it in the manual.
Any ideas on what this is and how I might trouble shoot the USB connector?

Which 6570 MB do you have, if its the K7N2 Delta 2 Platinum and came with the Dled bracket try plugging that into that port on the mainboard and see if those usb ports work as it could be the usb hub itself not working on the front. Hope this helps Dok

Problems with creating a USB boot device for Windows 8.1

My iMac (late 2012) running OSX Mavericks is encountering problems creating a Windows 8.1 install disk via a USB thumbdrive. The drive has 8gb of space available, which is enough to fit windows. But when I choose my ISO image and select the drive I recieve an error message. The error is 'Bootcamp only supports 64-bit Windows installation on this platform. Please use a ISO file for 64-bit Windows installation.
I'm certain this ISO definately contains 64-bit, so I'm slightly confused.
I've followed instructions found in other discussions talking about adding an extra line of information to 'info.plist' found inside the Package Contents for bootcamp, but that has also not worked. If I try that, Bootcamp crashes upon being clicked every time.
Any help is appreciated

First up: a question. How did you fix the crashing Bootcamp Utility? It would help out this guy: https://discussions.apple.com/message/23523783?ac_cid=tw123456#23523783
Next up: A possible solution (also posted here:https://discussions.apple.com/message/23523783?ac_cid=tw123456#23523783)
=====================
It's possible you have a Windows ISO for both 32- and 64-bit. In this case it's probably detecting the presence of the 32-bit installer and forgets to look for another 64-bit version.
A way to work around this is to not use the Bootcamp Assistant utility by following the listed steps:
The way installing Windows should work either way using the Legacy BIOS mode:
- Get a Windows ISO or DVD and copy the contents over to a freshly fat32 formatted USB stick of at least 4GB.
- Download the Apple Bootcamp Support Software (4.x or 5.x, 5.x only supports 64-bit, get that if you are going 64-bit);
- Copy the content of the Support Software folder over the the same USB stick from the first step. It should fit just right (it did on my 4GB stick with 2MB te spare!);
- Use disk utility to partition your disk. Make sure the partition for Windows is Fat32 and at least 30GB;
- Reboot your machine while holding Option/Alt at the chime;
- You should be able to select either your OSX HDD or your USB stick labeled "Windows" -> Select Windows and press enter or click the arrow;
- The Windows installer should now load, format the previously made Windows partition to NTFS;
- Continue on your way.
Can you try what I typed above? If it doesn't work, can you let me know at what step things go differently than described?
Edit: This is based on the logical conclusion that any Mac that was shipped without ODD should be able to boot from USB.
Edit2:
One other note is that Mac's have trouble booting from USB when multiple USB storage devices are attached. So make sure you connect only one storage device.
=====================
Best of luck to you!
