Use of USB Modem

My work as a network engr sometimes reequires me to dial in to systems to troubleshoot them. I purchased a USB Modem for our new IMAC the other day and am awaiting shipment. Does IMAC come with a program that will allow me to control and use this modem?

Do you mean a simple terminal emulator? No, it doesn't come with. But there are a few free ones you can download, and a handful of commercial products. None of the ones I tried seem to be terribly stable. I use Macwise (commercial product), but it crashes and hangs periodically. I also use Quickterm, which is free, but also has issues.

Can't use my USB modem "HUAWEI model E156G" on my MACBook Pro

I'm new to MAC (I used to be a windows user) and I'm a little bit frustrated for not being able to use my USB modem "Huawie E156G" for connecting my new MacBook Pro!
I followed these steps:
Got the USB modem drivers found on Huawei site that should support my USB modem model. there were 2 drivers, one for "Intel" and another one for "PowerPC" platforms
First, I installed the "Intel" version succesfully. According to the steps, I tried to run the installed driver, but I got the following message:
"you cant open the app HuaweiDataCardApp because PowerPC app are no longer supported".
I repeated the installation procedure using the "PowerPC" version that finished succesfully (without removing the previous installed driver because dont know how to do that). I got the same message when running the driver application:
"you cant open the app HuaweiDataCardApp because PowerPC app are no longer supported".
It would be much appreciated if anyone can help me
Note: my MAC OS is MAC OS X Lion 10.7.2 (11C74), Processor Intel Core I5
Thanks

Cant load half of the FB apps using my usb modem

What would possibly cause a USB modem to cause half of the Facebook apps to no longer to load as of ten days ago.
1) It is NOT my computer.
-I used my laptop under 4 different internet connection and had no problem accessing all my FB apps
2) It is NOT Facebook
-I have no problem using any of the facebook apps when NOT using my usb modem.
3) It's THE usb modem
-I used the same usb modem on my other laptop that has VWAcess Manager and got the same results of not abling to gain access to half of my facebook apps.
4)The current USB Modem I am using is Pantech UM150-AL and been using it for 4 years
I eliminated many many possibiltiies and can only conclude its the USB Modem, but I cant see how the heck it's doing it. Any help on this will be grateful.

Please help: Problem sending fax to one recipient using Apple USB Modem

Hello,
I'm using an Apple USB Modem to send an receive faxes on my PowerMac G5. This is working great to the most recipients, but not one with a Philips fax machine.
The problem is, that everybody can send faxes to him - except of me
I'm using a software called Pagesender for this, I e-mailed the support and he told me, that the my fax is timing out and some of his customers have made positive reports of Zoom and Best Data Modems in cases where the Apple Modems have encountered line noise.
Also the Tiger fax solution doesn't work ... The odd things are, that I could send faxes using a stationary fax machine and don't have problems to send faxes to others ...
Is there really no solution for this.
Best regards
René

CAn I use a USB modem?

I have an imac and an ibook, the imac is not wireless, and runs broadband through a usb modem. is there any way to connect this to the airport for my ibook?
cheers.

If you mean to use OS X's "Internet Sharing" feature to share your iMac's USB port with the iMac's AirPort, I believe the answer is, unfortnately, "no" for two reasons:
- Internet Sharing only works with either the Built-in Ethernet port or AirPort, not the USB port.
- Internet Sharing works by "sharing" a device's ports in one of the following ways:
-- Option#1: DSL/Cable modem > (Ethernet cable) > [Ethernet port] Mac#1 [AirPort] > (wireless) > [AirPort] Mac#2
-- Option#2: Wireless gateway > (wireless) > [AirPort] Mac#1 [Ethernet port] > (Ethernet cable) > [Ethernet port] Mac#2

Question about using a USB modem

I'm about to get a new Macbook Pro (being shipped) and want to be prepared with a USB modem for travel/emergencies. I've read chatter about Snow Leopard presenting problems with it. Something about 64-bit v.s. 32-bit incompatibilities. Does anyone know if Apple has resolved this with support, even though they quit selling the modem? I understand it will work, but only if used with 32-bit or something.
Thanks.

I have no idea whether there is any reality to any of the rumours you may have heard, HalfATechie, but my own Apple USB Modem works fine on both my MBP 13" and my older 2007 MBP 15" , while running Snow Leopard in normal operating mode.
Don't worry, this is something you really don't need to be "afraid" of with your MBP.
Cheers

Imac using mobile USB modem; PC connects but won't open webpages?

Using a Clear 4GB mobile USB modem on my iMac for internet; My wireless PC with the Clear Connection Manager installed gets connected with a strong signal, but then will not connect to any website. Used the PC connection wizard stuff until it got to usual pc deep mumbo jumbo, not helpful, I'm NOT a PC guy.
Any plain English suggestions would be most welcome! Clear wants to sell me another $140 device to share the wireless with other devices, no way.

What modem script or software has Clear furnished you? In as much as you are paying them for the modem and the service they should be making sure you connect. In my experience the modem is usually furnished free for a two year service contract.

I allways get disconnected when using Apple USB Modem

Hello!
I have bought the Apple USB Modem with my MacBook and want to use it for a dail-in connection in the netherlands (kpn). But when I dail in, I allways get disconnected. After dailing in, sometimes I can open a few pages in Firefox, sometimes only one page or not any page at all. Sometimes I can open an IMAP folder with Thunderbird, but most times I get disconnected before. When I establish a SSH connetion, it works a little bit longer, but after some time the connection is terminated too. Most times I have to wait very long (>20 seconds) until a hostname is resolved, sometimes it's quite fast, somtimes resolving fails. Especially when I try to open several websites at the same time I get disconnected very soon.
Most times I get an error message like "modem unexpectedly disconnected connection".
Can someone tell me where I can get more information about WHY the connection was disconnected?
This way I cannot use the Internet, sometimes it takes up to 1 hour to come to a particular web-page (e.g. open a special mail in my web-mail account).
Best regards
Andreas

Thank you! I use 10.4.7, but could not try it yet, but looks promising. Does Apple know about the problem? Will there be a fix in an update soon?
Thanks again!
Seems many other people have the same problem, see comments at:

Using Apple USB Modem overseas

Hi,
Didn't know where else to post this;
I have a new MBP and USB Modem that I was setting up for a trip to Europe. Because most European countries don't have a recognizable dial tone, I un-ticked the wait for dial tone option and then attempted to run a test call without plugging in the phone line. Past experience with Windows machines, when this is done the modem will dial, but the MBP/USB modem doesn't.
When I plug in the phone line, all is OK, the MPB/USB modem dials. I need to know if this modem is going to work for me on the trip.
Does anyone know what is going on here?

I've never fiddled with the device, personally, but it's certainly capable of working overseas. You'll note on page 10 of the [Apple USB Modem AT Acommand Manual|http://download.info.apple.com/AppleSupportArea/Manuals/software/USBATCommands.PDF|This is a PDF document] that there's a command that switches the configuration (including variations in dial tone, etc) by country. What buttons you have to push in the appropriate preference pane, to do it, I can't say -- but you can do it manually.

Is it possible to use USB modem on Toshiba AT100 tablet?

Hi all!
I just purchased a Toshiba Tablet and I was just wondering whether it is possible that the Tablet could use a usb modem. My usb modem lights up to say its connected but cannot find where it registers as an option.
Regards
Pictonite,
Tablet Noob.

Hi
>that the Tablet could use a usb modem
Found this info on some Android webpages:
+Sadly, you cant plug a 3G modem into the USB as there are currently no drivers available. Perhaps later down the track Google will add support for the mobile dongle in its tablet OS, but for now, youll have to jump onto WiFi or a wireless mobile hotspot to get the AT100 online+

Sharing Internet via Airport Extreme using a USB wireless modem

I have had to go to NextG access using a USB modem (only option). We previously succesfully had the second iMac sharing the internet connection on an ethernet-connected wireless service. Now, I cannot get the other iMac to share the connection, because there is no option to choose the USB modem.
Another problem is the USB modem is top-dog - it won't connect unless I turned off anything else using anything remotely looking like wireless (even when I have my bluetooth phone connected to another USB hub). I can connect to the NextG network after disconnecting everything else and THEN reconnect, but I just can't get the Internet sharing going. I have also had the iMac freezing, demanding a power-off-power-on (unheard of in my experience!).
Is there any remedy for the Internet sharing at all? Configuring a different channel or something on Airport? Using one of the other config options?
I think there are something like USB-to-Ethernet adaptors (pretty costly here in Australia) and don't want to shell out for one if it doesn't work. Same with a third-party router. I also wondered if I should just forget about using Airport completely and run a few metres of crossover cable?
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Hi Steven, I know this question has been answered and is a couple of months old but I think you may be able to help with my set up? I have a Thomson speedtouch 510 v6 modem router provided by Karoo (UK). My other Belkin N modem router has just bust [again] so the Speedtouch is my old faithful backup device. Now, i've never been able to get on ichat with the Belkin as its a mimo n speed and this is apparently not compatible; So i'm now on ethernet with the st510 and have just set up ports for ichat thanks to a thread called http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2719419&#2719419.
What I want to know from you (because I really need a wireless router to get me off this ethernet support system and back on airport) is how you're getting on with the st510 / airport extreme combo now and can you use ichat on it? If so does your connection doctor say full cone in network settings or something else? As I say, I really want to use ichat and have never been able to in 3 years of owning my Macbook Pro. Hope to hear back from you Steven. Regards Steph

Using Pantech 4G LTE USB Modem with Chromebook

Got a Chromebook for Christmas, but I don't have wi-fi at home. I do have the UML290 modem for my windows laptop.
Can I install VRZ manager on Chromebook, and use the USB modem on it to connect to the internet?
TIA
Rick

No! Chromebook uses Android OS, you will a CradlePoint MBR95 or Pepwave Surf on The Go Router to insert the UML290 and then you can use the built in wifi in the Chromebook to connect to the router and get internet access.
You can get the gear at 3gstore
Here is some Reviews on the MBR95 works like a champ

USB Modem not being recognised in OSX

Sorry if this is being posted in the wrong forum.
I have an oldish Usb modem (Intel(R) AnyPoint(R) DSL Modem 3240 http://www.intel.com/support/network/dslmodems/sb/CS-009978.htm) that I have been using for a while with my PC laptop.
I have recently updated to a MacBook and was expecting this modem to be fine since it has worked succesfully with a friends older iBook (he simply plugged in the usb cable and was able to connect to the internet once I gave him the Username/Password. No software installation was required) but on my MacBook the modem doesnt seem to be recognised.
I have followed the install instructions to the letter but when it comes to plugging in the usb modem nothing happens and no modem is found (the l.e.d on the front of the modem stays off)
If anyone has any suggestions that would be great. I only need access to broadband very occassionaly and would like to avoid having to buy a new modem. Thanks
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Generally usb modems don't work or don't work well on Macs
IMO, that is a bit of a sweeping statement. Most people in the UK use a USB modem, not least because they were supplied free by your ISP.
Get a modem with ethernet
Better still get a router, which what many UK ISPs now provide free.

Apple USB Modem 56K

Hello Friends
Now 2 days ago the update of Snow Leopard 10.6.3 released, but once again WITHOUT a 64-bit drivers for the original Apple USB 56K Modem. Can anyone say whether there's what is planned? I have often professionally faxes by modem to send and receive.
With the 32-bit mode of the 10.6.3 is the USB modem without any problems. But since I mainly use the 64 bit mode, which is effective, it would be nice here can also send faxes using the USB modem.
Someone has a tip, whether it alternetaiven a driver (kext) for the USB modem for 64-bit there?
Thanks Info for this.
Fritz122

Hi there, I jut bought an Apple USB modem on eBay bnib. It works intermittently with my Snow Leopard Server, Mac Mini. I just get the first inch of the received fax. This is painful as it is such a simple and normal solution for a small business sever.
I spoke to AppleCare who were unaware on any issues. I sent the modem back for a replacement and have the same problem.
What do I do? Buy a Zoom Model 3095 V.92 USB Mini External Modem, trail a wire across my studio to an HP Fax Printer.
Come on Apple, please fix this.
Drew
