Upgraded to 10.3.9 and now modem won't recognize dial tone or connect 2 isp

Hello,
My ibook was erased completely. SO, I installed 10.3.5 fresh. Then I verified permissions and installed the 10.3.9 update which is what I am using now. I tried to enter my internet connection settings (username, pass, phone number provider,etc).
When I press dial, I listened to the modem to see if it connects. It just dials VERY loudly and the dial tone(sounds really low) ignores the dialing and is still there(but you can hardly hear it). I tried changing the setting from tone to pulse dialing and it dialed and got the modem connecting sound but after two minutes of sound, it disconnects and says verify your modem settings and try again. So it gets to the Isp using pulse and the modem noise from the isp is going on and on but then disconnects, it never catches the isp. It doesn't even dial correctly using tone dialing. The dialing is Loud as I don't know what, but the dial tone seems so low on the computer, it seems as though the computer cannot hear the modem connecting to the isp so it never connects. I don't know.
I was wondering if there was an update for the modem or firmware update or what because I cant get it to logon. All passwords are correct because I am using my 12 in ibook with dual usb and the internet connection itself works fine.
Any suggestions? (I tried to use it changing the script to v.92 , v.90 or v.34)

Hi emeraldcleopatra,
Why not mimic the settings you have for your 12" iBook that connects, trying the same for the one that doesn't and checking each setting that you have played around with.
See if that works.

  • Just upgraded macbook to Snow Leopard, and now itunes won't recognize my iphone.  I tried turning all off, and on.  I have the newest version of itunes.  Will I have to reset my iphone (and also ipod touch?), and if so, does it mean I lose anything?

    Start iTunes.  Make sure you really are running the version you think you are.  Sometimes people end up with two copies, different versions.

    You say you are running Snow Leopard 10.6.3.  That version will not run the latest iTunes which requires 10.6.8  If you need iTunes 10.7 you have to be running 10.6.8

    Started to upgrade from Lion got interrupted and now it won't download

    Hello webejamn,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing when trying to download and install OS X Mavericks.  It sounds like the download from the Mac App Store for OS X Mavericks was interrupted and didn't complete. 
    I recommend the following step when an Mac App Store download is interrupted:
    If downloading an app is interrupted
    Once an Internet connection is reestablished, your purchased downloads should automatically restart. The Mac App Store may alert you that there was an issue with the download and ask if you'd like to restart the download(s). Confirming will restart all pending downloads. For more information on this topic, see Mac App Store: How to resume interrupted downloads.
    Note: The download time will vary according to the file's size and your Internet connection speed. Refer to this article about iTunes Store purchases for more information about download times for large files.

  • Updated iTunes to 10.3.1 and now it won't recognize my iPod

    I recently updated my iTunes to the latest version, and  now it won't recognize any of my apple products. I have a first gen iPod touch, 4th gen. ipod nano and 5th gen. ipod nano. The ipod does work still, and is chargeable through a dock or a AC adapter. I've gone through all of the five Rs and reinstalled itunes, and nothing is working. My ipod won't show up in windows either. When I plug in my 5th gen nano, windows says the driver did not install sucessfully and itunes won't even acknowledge I've plugged it in. Any help would be fantastic, I'd really appreciate it. I put new music on my ipod all the time, and not being able to do so *****.

    Well yesterday I finally broke down and called apple service... I spent $29 and 1.5 hours on the phone, but the operator was finally able to fix my ipod. There was an issue with the itunes update, and it had corrupted. After uninstalling, installing, and updating several drivers, programs, and resolving other issues, my iPod finally works. Even better, the operator gave me a way to contact him again if I am having issues, free of charge. I would have much rather fixed this myself without spending the additional money, but I'll admit there was no way I could've done what he did, as there were certain orders to uninstalling Apple programs. My advice? Bite the bullet and call. They will get your iPad working again. (:

    I recently reinstalled iTunes, and now it won't recognize my iphone so I'm not able to sync the phone with iTunes.  How do I fix this?

    It has been shown there are problems with the latest update of iTunes and Windows computers. What you need to do is remove and reinstall iTunes, and make sure that you follow the steps in this support document exactly. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923. If you do not follow them exactly, you will just compound your problems. Once you do this, you should have no trouble having the phone recognized in iTunes.

  • I updated my iphone3gs to iOS5.0.1 and now it won't recognize my simcard.

    I updated my Iphone3gs to iOS5.0.1 and now it won't recognize my SIM card. After updating, my phone went off and when I opened it,this message appeared; "SIM NOT VALID. Only compatible SIM cards from a supported carrier may be used to activate iPhone. Please insert the SIM card that came with your iPhone or visit a supported carrier's store to recieve a replacement SIM." I can't do anything with my phone! How do I get it to change back to normal? BTW, I don't if this helps, but I'm from the Philippines and my sim card is Smart.

  • I updated to Photoshop CC 2014 and now it won't recognize my Canon Scanner LiDE 210.

    I updated to Photoshop CC 2014 and now it won't recognize my Canon Scanner LiDE 210.
    Is there a fix for this? It worked with CS6 and CC just fine.

    Did you turn off the "show transform controls" option in the move tool?
    It sounds like you were using that previously.
    And you can always transform by using the Free Transform command (command/control T).

  • I changed the drive letter on my iPod and now iTunes won't recognize it!

    Help please! I contacted an Apple associate and they told me to change the drive letter of my iPod in My Computer. I did that and now iTunes won't recognize my iPod at all and I can't change the drive letter back to the original one. What do I do?

    Try Resetting Your iPod while it's connected to the computer.
    Hold down the Menu and Select buttons until you see the Apple logo (or Menu & Play/Pause in older models).
    This will often get it recognized. It may take several attempts.
    Try closing and re-starting iTunes. There have been cases where iTunes refuses to see an iPod, but after re-starting, it works again.
    Also try re-booting the entire computer. Especially if the PC has been operating for a long time &/or many programs have been opened and closed, repeatedly.
    Other USB connected peripherals may be the cause as well. Try removing all connected USB items and attaching the iPod. If you have a USB keyboard, it may be worth a try using the adapter to convert it to non-USB. If the iPod connects, continue plugging things back in until you have the problem return. You may have then isolated the issue. Sometimes it could be a printer, camera, Flash Card reader, or other attached device causing a conflict.
