Usb modem blues

my friend has a tibook 400 mhz and needs to connect to the internet via a usb modem(gps style) - ericsson f221m. I have the book recognize the usb>serial adapter no problem but I can't figure out how to get the book to recognize the modem. It doesn't appear in the modem list - is there a way to have the book look for the modem? Or do I need to install a driver?

Hi, sonofthesun. A driver will certainly be required to enable the Mac and the modem to talk to each other. If Ericsson has no Mac driver available for the device and a Google search turns up no sign of a third-party driver either, the modem may not be usable with a Mac.
Maybe the provider of the service to which your friend needs to connect can suggest something. They should take an interest in enabling the customer to access their network.

10.3.7 USB ADSL Modem blues

Hi
I have a SpeedTouch USB ADSL modem that works beautifully under OS 9, but - in spite of downloading the OS X drivers - I can't get the darn thing to connect under OS X...any ideas?
The modem seems happy (all lights up and steady) so the prob seems to be with the mac connecting to my ISP's server...it uses a PPP server connection, so username and pass plus the ini strings are all the info I have...
HELP!

Just to add my 2 cent's to ADSL Nations excellent advise.
For whatever reason $$$ Many of the UK and Europe Internet Service Providers opt to use USB Modems and as already stated they are and can be a nightmare.
I suggest you 1st get in touch with your Internet Service Provider and see if the will furnish you with a Ethernet ADSL Modem.
If not they are readily available from just about any computer store.
I do suggest you spend a little extra and go for a Multi-port and if you have the need you can also go for a combined Wireless Modem Router.
Hope this helps

Bigpond Wireless Broadband USB Modem not connecting in new Macbook Pro

Hi,
I have recently bought one of the latest Macbook Pros and used Migration Assistant to transfer data from my older Macbook. On the older laptop I used a Tesltra Bigpond 7.2 Wireless USB Modem and it connected and worked fine (using default settings and the telstra connection software), however after plugging it into the newer laptop it has been behaving srangely.
Initially it worked fine for about a day, then kept stating that 'The PPP serever could not be found' - I changed the network settings a bit, uninstalled and redownloaded the software and registered the computer. It worked again for about a day then stopped connecting again. Again, the software manager was uninstalled and reinstalled and again it worked for about a day; however it has stopped working completely now and refuses to even be found by the computer. To make it more complicating, it isnt the modem because it works fine in the old computer still!
I have a feeling it may have sonething to do with the APN address but I'm not 100% sure.
Any help to fix this would be greatly appreciated!! Thankyou in advance

Yes you are right it works fine outside your mac notebook. But it is incompatible once installed inside the system.
Simple do a google search for "WD blue series drives in mac notebooks" and see what comes up.
I am not lying to you about the problems. You have first hand knowledge that with some mac notebooks the WD blue drives don't work.

WD blue is compatible according to the manufacturer's specifications.

Maxon USB Modem driver workaround? (Telstra Big Pond Next G Wireless)

Recently purchased a blue Maxon USB Modem. And conflicting information as to when BigPond will support this device. Any fellow Australian Mac users in the same situation? Anyone managed to install this modem and register with the Big Blue ISP? One of there tech's today relayed the assurance to me that there is a work around involving setting a 'manual dialler'. Now I am clueless! If there is an early solution a lot of us would heave sighs of relief.
Who's Telstrta Bigpond?
Telstra is the dominant 50% state owned telco - 'BigPond' (a business unit of this behemoth) is the biggest ISP in the country with a track record of monoply and poor support of the Mac community! They recently rolled out a nationwide implementation of the next generation HSDPA - 'Next G'. And have no significant competition!

USB generally is difficult on a Mac. See if they support a modem with ethernet.

Apple USB modem and MagicJack

I am ready to connect the MJ to my iMAC. Do I still need to use my Apple USB modem ?

No. MagicJack and your modem are two different devices. MagicJack is used to make telephone calls using VoIP. A modem is used to connect to a telephone outlet in order to connect to the internet via dial-up or to use your computer to send and receive faxes.
Note that your MagicJack will not work on your Mac as it's delivered. You must go here and click on the large blue box with the words "You must click here to download the firmware update." Be sure your MagicJack is plugged in to a USB port on the computer (do not use a hub.) Follow the instructions on the page. Your MagicJack must have been purchased since March 8th.

3g usb modem does not work on Lion?

I have had a 3g usb modem for almost two years now, it worked fine on Snow Leopard but does not pick up any connection to any cell tower after my upgrade to Lion. Any suggestions?

Thank you 'etresoft'. With minimal information from me you have provided a fix to the problem. Although, the cost at 49.5 euros per computer is a bit steep. I think I will just buy a later spec modem at $A79 and be able to use it on all my computers. Regards from iadoreapples

Connection Speed reading for external USB Modem ????

In previous versions of the Mac OS, I've been able to see a readout of my connection speed achieved with a dial-up modem and telephone line (e.g. 28 kbps, 33 kbps, 50 kbps etc etc) but under this latest 10.5 Version of OS X I can't see this speed in the networking software that controls my Apple USB modem.
Has this feature been dropped with 10.5 ?
If not, how do I see the speed. It would be very helpful to see it as I sometimes travel to some pretty remote areas where phone lines are poor - so if you know the actual connect speed you have a good idea of what sort of size of downloads to attempt and not to attempt while on-line.
I can see such parameters as my time connected and IP address assigned by the ISP, but no connect speed.

I realize the speed that used to be shown was the initial speed the two modems involved, mine and the ISP's, negotiated to establish the connection and I also realize that is not the actual download speed.
But it's still helpful to know that initial speed because it is a rough indicator of line quality ands gives one an idea of how rapidly he will be able to communicate - clearly there will be a significant difference for the better in performance for the online session if one can achieve a connect speed of, say 50k, as opposewd to 28k or less on a poorer line.

Using cell phone as a 3G USB modem for Leopard

Hi All,
I just get an MacBook Pro the last week, I was happy with the UI of the OS at first sight, but when come to the setting of the network, I am really frustrated.
I get a SE P1i cell phone, I would like to use it as a usb modem for my MAC so that I can have 3G internet connection when on the road. But the problem is that, I can't connect it to my MAC at all!
Leopard can regonize my phone but it seems that none of the modem script(including the SONY ERICSSON script pre-installed) work for my phone. when I checked in the activity log, I see that the result of running every modem scripts are
"CCLExit: -6019 (Modem error, modem not responding.)"
I guess it should not be the problem of my phone as I try using SE K800i, the same result...
although I know that I can use the bluetooth rather the USB cable to connect them together, I would prefer USB cable as it is faster and more secure.
anyway, any help would be appreciated.

detailed instructions:

(generally I understand one does the same as with a bluetooth phone, but plugs in the usb cable and skips the bluetooth part)

AT Commands sent to USB Modem

Hi,
I am trying to send AT commands to a USB modem using VC++. I found the code below online and have tried using it. I do not get any errors but it doesn't appear to be working.
I used Putty to set AT+CMGF= 0. However after I run this code, when I check the value of AT+CMGF it is still 0, so although no error is being thrown up, it doesn't seem to be sending correctly.
Any help would be great thanks.
#include <iostream>
#include <Windows.h>
#include <string.h>
using std::string;
int main() {
std::string data = "AT+CMGF=1";
DCB dcb;
DWORD byteswritten;
HANDLE hPort = CreateFile(
"COM3", //"\\\\.\\COM10"
GENERIC_WRITE | GENERIC_READ,
FILE_SHARE_READ| FILE_SHARE_WRITE,
NULL,
OPEN_EXISTING,
0,
NULL
DWORD dwerror = GetLastError();
if (GetCommState(hPort,&dcb) == 0) {
return false; }
dcb.BaudRate = CBR_9600; //9600 Baud
dcb.ByteSize = 8; //8 data bits
dcb.Parity = NOPARITY; //no parity
dcb.StopBits = ONESTOPBIT; //1 stop
if (!SetCommState(hPort,&dcb))
return false;
bool retVal = WriteFile(hPort,&data,200,&byteswritten,NULL);
dwerror = GetLastError();
CloseHandle(hPort); //close the handle
return retVal;

SOLVED: just needed to add \r\n after my commands
Okay, not solved! The first command, setting CMGF=1 works, nothing else seems to go through though. i.e. if CMGF is 0 and i run this code setting it to 1, it changes to 1 when I check the value in putty.
I'm not sure if im doing something wrong in the way I send the CMGS and text message commands.
No errors come up...but the text message isn't sent. I send the CMGF and CMGS commands followed by a carriage return and the text message content followed by the SUB (CTRL+Z). doesn't seem to work. If I try reading the serial port using ReadFile() it
just hangs without setting a timeout. Any help would be appreciated.

USB modem and Internet Sharing causes system to hang.

First my setup. I have a Mac mini (early 2009) running 10.7.2 connected to the Internet using a Sony Ericsson W910 as a USB modem. I am using Internet sharing via Ethernet to a 1st generation (n) AirPort Extreme to give Wi-Fi to other devices (iPhone, Xbox 360, PS3 etc).
Now the problem: When Internet Sharing is on regardless of what interfaces are used (Ethernet, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth PAN etc) eventually—that word is key—my system will hang. Internet will be unavailable to every device and my Mac itself (but they will still be connected to Wi-Fi) and any app that is running willbeachball. Any app I launch—or try to—will also beachball. I've tried leaving it to see if it will resolve itself —even overnight—but it always requires a hard reset.
The eventually part. I haven't figured out what causes this but I have an idea which I'll explain later. The times this happens is totally random. It has gone days with no problems and other times has happened minutes apart. Usually it's about every 12-24 hours.
It's definitely Internet Sharing which is causing this because when I turn it off I don't have any problems. I've tried every configuration. Only sharing via my mini's Wi-Fi or Ethernet, leaving the AirPort out etc. As soon as I turn on Internet Sharing I've started a countdown to a hang.
On inspecting the Console the last messages before a hang without fail are always:
12/12/2011 06:31:07.000 kernel: 80 80 AppleUSBCDCECMData: getOutputBuffer - Output buffer pool empty
12/12/2011 06:31:07.000 kernel: 80 66 AppleUSBCDCECMData: USBTransmitPacket - Output buffer unavailable
12/12/2011 06:58:58.312 com.apple.usbmuxd: _handle_timer Fish out of water!!!
Repeated hundreds of times. Quick Googling indicates that AppleUSBCDCECMData is a USB driver. Apparently I have version 4.1.15 which appears to be the latest.
I'm aware this is a rare configuration but I believe it affects every USB not just this particular phone.
Is anybody else experiencing this or knows a way to fix it?
Thanks.

Thanks Barry.
The hub is on its way to the manufacturer for after sales service...
But the issue with AirPort remains the same, even after resetting SMC.
Some clarification:
* It happens just after computer wakes up from sleep. Restarting solves the problem and the issue doesn't arise until computer goes standby again.
* The whole WiFi card becomes unresponsive. It is not only the Turn Off button, but the whole functionality is stopped. The card can not be activated/deactivated and it doesn't connect to any network. If it is used for internet sharing, clients are unable to connect.

So it does work only without any plug in device..!?

Can i connect my ipod touch to internet, via a laptop that is connected to the net by a USB modem/dongle

I have an i pod touch, which i use to facetime friends abroad when i am at home in the uk. I work on a ship and we have very limited broadband and we are not permitted to stream through company PC's. When we are in port what i would like to do is buy a USB modem/dongle (locally, as of now i am in indonesia) for my laptop, and connect to the net using that. Is it possible to make the laptop a wfi hot spot and then connect my touch so i can facetime.
Is it technically doable?
How much data does facetime use, and would it be an expensive way to do it?

Yes. Google for
setup window 7 (or the OS you have) as wofo hotspot
See:
http://www.geeksugar.com/How-Much-Data-Does-iPhone-4S-FaceTime-Use-23562212
for comparison, according to one test of an iPhone 4 FaceTime call, about 3MB of data were used per minute over 3G service. Using this rule, a one-hour FaceTime phone call would use a scant 0.175GB of data.

Unlimited Data Plan on USB Modem

Hello, I'm new to forum and I apologize if this has already been discussed but I haven't seen my particular situation anywhere;
I have a 3G USB modem on the much talked about unlimited data plan. What I have is a month-by-month unlimited plan which is a completely separate entity from my cellphone contracts. I've had this unlimited plan since 2005. (Interestingly, it doesn't seem to me that my usage is being throttled at all, even with heavy usage.) Has anyone heard any news in particular regardingun those of us who still have an unlimited data USB modem plan? Thank you!

I'm definitely aware of this. The beauty is, my 3G modem is quite fast; I can stream Netflix, Hulu and Amazon with almost no hits or interruption of playback. Plus, I had the foresight (I hope!) to buy a backup 3G modem of the same model in case mine gives out or breaks. I'm just hoping that in my case, the grandfathering stays in effect; everything I've seen regarding the elimination of the unlimited data option refers to the phone version of the unlimited data plan, but nothing regarding the USB modem version. Thank you, Ann!
