USB modem in network worked, but accidentaly deleted, and now can't replace it.
I recently succesfully connected a Nokia 6120 cellphone to use as a 3G modem; the last time I used this was in 2009.
The USB connection and network place in my network settings "migrated" to its proper place when I upgraded to Lion this year, and when I tried the Nokia again it worked, connected through USB.
There was a second Nokia network choice on the list in my Network prefs, which I deleted, thinking that it was not necessary. After that deletion, the remaining Nokia setting would not connect the computer to the phone, and of course would provide internet access.
I tried duplicating the old setting, but now I can't select a USB option when configuring it.
All my research indicates that this is due to Lion no longer supporting USB modems. However, my Nokia worked just fine, and the old Network via USB setting was still present in Network preferences, and worked just fine until the deletion of one of the Nokia settings.
Does anyone know of a work-around or a patch that will add USB connectivity to Network preferences in Lion?
BTW... tried connecting through Bluetooth; I can pair the phone to the computer, but it will not make the modem connetion.
Would the bluetooth transfer rate be too slow, anyway?
Thanks in advance
Glenn
Found the problem!
Check this thread:

There are, in fact, modem scripts available, and they go into the Library/Modem Scripts folder.
By deleting the extra configuration, I deleted the old scripts. I downloaded and installed the 3G Nokia scripts from the website shown in the above thread, and my configurations re appeared in Network prefs;
I went one step further; I connected to the internet using the restored configuration, then selected and deleted (using the - at the bottom of the list) while the connection was working. It got rid of the second configuration but kept the valid one. Hopefully, It will still be available when I attempt to connect again.

Networking works, but disk access and utility access don't
A day or two after restarting my extreme, it will get into a strange mode with the following symptoms:
1) admin access from airport utility hangs with "reading airport extreme configuration"
2) disk connections drop, and reconnect fail with a password error. disk sharing is set up with a single password. (disks are used for time machine backups, which naturally fail at this point)
However, I don't lose anything at the networking level - I can connect to the internet, see other systems on the LAN, etc. Symptoms go away after I power cycle the extreme.
This points to some sort of authentication error. Nothing unusual in the mac logs and of course I can't see the airport logs.
Anyone seen something like this or got any hints?
PatS
Config: 2 month-old AE. Network also has 2 airport express, 2 wireless macs, 1 wired mac, various other pieces of equipment (pc, tivo, phones, etc .. nothing that authenticates to the router). 2 iomega disks are attached. Macs and airport are at the latest software versions.The drives have their own power supplies. Not sure why Time Machine would be related to authentication subsystem loss (as compared to other regular access to the disks). It's certainly true that I notice this when time machine goes south, but nothing I do over the wire should cause the basic config interface to fail

After the OS X Lion installation, my USB modem doesn't work. I already updated the USB drivers, but nothing happened. Any suggestion?
You might want to do a search here on the forums re. usb modems - I've seen several threads and the opinion appears to be that faxing is no longer supported (especially since the "Fax" is now missing from the Print Preference Pane in System Preferences). I am faxing with an all-in-one printer which is connected to a landline, but I have to use the printer's control panel - can't use it from the iMac.

Apple USB modem no longer works with Mountain Lion
Now that I've upgraded my iMac to Mountain Lion my Apple USB modem no longer works. Does anyone know of a software fix or have I just lost my faxing ability with this item and have to buy something else?
That's a very sad situation as the Official statement link above (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3152) states that the modem cannot be used with any Windows. So Apple thinks that people investing in the ability to Fax and relying in Apple's good product only deserves to throw out their modems (because now it is useless on any platform)...

I had set this up and it was working, but I deleted several passwords and set up new ones. Even though it is set up to remember passwords, it does not prompt me on a few sites. One is a hotel company and they do not block saving passwords. The others worked before and I don't think they changed. On most of the sites it worked fine
This can be caused by the Google toolbar.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

I'm also having a music issue. When my phone is attached to the computer (mac running 10.6.8) it looks like my music is there but its gray and I can't play anything. I've tried to delete it and it won't let me but it does not show up on my phone.
By the way, I have tried shutting of the display switching in the power settings. That was basically the only real answer I found anywhere. It didn't work.
