  • 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.

    (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.

  • 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!

  • USB Modem no longer working on MacBook

    I have been using my Virgin Broadband (Huawei E169) USB modem with my MacBook for the last twelve months. Apart from a huge hiccup when I upgraded to Snow Leopard it has worked flawlessly. Recently I had to restore my MacBook from my Time Capsule as it refused to boot up, and since then I've not been able to use my USB wireless modem. It works fine on my iMac and on my Son's PC Dell Laptop.
    When I try to connect, I either get a message that says 'unable to connect to PPP server' or I the 'auto open' closes immediately and I get a huge error report. I have copied the report if anyone is interested, I'll include it on a future post.
    I've rung my ISP and Apple Care and have had no success. I've tried a friend's USB modem, and was unable to get it to connect, I also tried mine on her MacBook and got the same errors as on my MacBook.
    At this point, I have also checked that I have the latest Mobile Connect and the latest firmware, and have compared files with those on my iMac, and I cannot find the discrepancy. I still don't know whether my MacBook is at fault of the USB device itself. I am loathe to buy a new USB modem, until I know for sure. I don't know what to try next though.
    Thank you.

    The irony of this problem is that I solved it using a post from here which I'd copied from Whirlpool last year. I'd gone through every solution taht I could find, several times over an in the end used this one which worked perfectly. It was actually my last resort, I'd run out of options. Thought I'd best post back here, just in case someone else has an issue.
    This post was found @ www.whirlpoo.net.au by Designed. The OP posted this solution
    Thought this was important and needed to be posted here too. I'm up and running again, and very very happy
    The solution I found to work is :
    1. Open up Terminal.
    2. Become root using sudo -i (using your user account password when prompted)
    3. Paste the following command in: echo "refuse-chap\nrefuse-mschap\nrefuse-mschap-v2" >> /etc/ppp/options
    Next Step
    Plug in the device, when the disk image mounts, right click on the app and choose 'show package contents'
    Navigate through contents -> resources -> and run the MobileConnect_DrvApp.pkg
    Reboot
    Then in system prefs -> network
    you will see HUAWEI Mobile (not connected)
    Add the following settings
    telephone number : *99#
    account name : VirginBroadBand
    password : VirginBroadBand
    TICKED Show Modem status in menu bar
    I didn't have to change any advanced settings, but to confim them
    (In Advanaced Settings)
    Vendor : Generic
    Model : Dialup Device
    TICKED Enable Error correction and comptession in modem
    Dial Mode: Wait for dial tone before dialing
    Dialing TICKED Tone
    Sound TICKED On
    Now I connect via the icon in the status menu

  • 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)...

  • Using USB modem with a macbook

    I use a vodafone usb modem to connect to the internet , and i am currently trying to download a torrent using Azureus , but my download speed has never been higher than 10kB/s.
    Does any one know how to configure a usb modem to Azureus so the speed can improve. Or does anyone know another software which works better with usb modems ... help.

    My speeds are related to signal strength just like my phone coverage which is relatively the same thing because the usb modem is a phone of sorts. In urban areas, the strength is much stronger than in rural areas but for the most part, I am very happy with Verizon. I've found that the device is not as important as the provider and the quality of their network.
    To me, the ability to use my machine anywhere I choose is appealing regardless of the speed.

  • External USB Modem fax not working under 10.5.8

    Anybody else seeing this?

    This solution is a "workaround" and will not affect in any problems, like I saw that they will happen after:
    1.) Removing and changing "IOSerialFamily.kext" : ("The system extension '/System/Library/Extensions/IOSerialFamily.kext' was installed improperly and cannot be used....")
    2.) or go back to OS 10.5.5... (latest security-updates not included)
    Go to your System-Prefs -> Printing and Faxing
    chose the Fax-Modem -> Options
    1.) to receive faxes: choose "receive faxes on this computer"
    2.) to send faxes: choose not to "receive faxes on this computer",
    plug your modem out, wait 5 seconds and plug it in.
    Now you can send faxes, but not receive,
    before you choose "receive faxes on this computer" again.
    To send, you have to start with 2.) again...
    It's strange for a mac, but better than 10.5.5 or a corrupted system...
    APPLE-STUFF: HERE AGAIN: FIX THAT FAX-PROBLEM FOR 10.5.8 QUICK PLEASE - IT'S IMPORTANT!!!

  • How do I share a 3G USB modem connected to my Macbook Pro with my Airport Express?

    Hi. I have a 3g USB modem connected to my macbook pro, and I want to try share the signal with my Airport Express (latest model).
    Now before everybody screams that it can't be done, I was searching the forums and found a discussion in which someone describes how to do it from 2008, unfortunately it is archived and I couldn't ask the author directly, and the description doesn't go into much detail.
    In the thread, the author describes turning internet sharing on to share the USB modem, creating a network on the macbook, then renaming the Airport Express network name the same as the macbook, and setting the AX to Join a Network.
    Problem being there is no description of whether the macbook connected to the AX via ethernet or wifi, what settings were changed on the AX eg bridge mode.
    Is this possible in theory, and has anybody had any success sharing a 3g USB modem via a macbook pro to an AX? I know there are other options like getting 3g ethernet modems, unfortunately not an option in this case - new house, waiting for DSL to be installed, 2-3 month wait.
    Thanks

    Well, you cannot use the 3G USB modem plugged directly into the Express. However, you can configure your MacBook Pro to do 'Internet sharing' (SysPrefs>Sharing) over the Ethernet port, and then connect your Express into the Ethernet port. Alternatively, you could always get your MacBook to 'create a wireless network'.
    new house, waiting for DSL to be installed, 2-3 month wait.
    You could always look for open WiFi networks to *cough*borrow*cough* .
