When will MAC O/S be supported on MiFi (Fivespot) device to access the Verizon wifi hotspots?

I just got the Fivespot for Broadband internet access for my laptop.  I've had it about a week, and tried the dedicated network access from home, and an internet cafe using both the USB connection, and the wifi connection.  Both work fine, and speeds are very acceptable.
When I tried accessing the Verizon Wifi Hotspots--I realized they are not available on a MacBook, since you can only access the VZ wifi hotspots using the VZ Manager app.  After I read the manual, realized that I could only access the VZ wifi Hotspots from Windows O/S.  Good thing my MacBook has a dual OS boot (I never go into Windows anymore unless I absolutely have to--like in this case).  As a side note, I had to install and setup the FiveSpot again in Windows--let me just say--even though I didn't encounter any issues--the process went much smoother using the MAC O/S.
Anyway, got VZ Manager up and running on Windows, followed the instructions to update the Verizon Wifi Hotspot locations, and then connected to the wifi location that I was in, which was a local Barnes & Noble.  Please note that all Barnes & Noble, and Starbucks offer free public wifi through 'attwifi'.  Thinking that the Verizon wifi hotspot would provide a faster connection speed and performance, I decided to try it.  Well, the response was dismal and poor--I tried to download a 22MB file, and the connection speed showed a paltry 7 KB/minute; in the public library, I usually get a speed of 100KB/minute, and the attwifi public access usually results in 50KB/minute downloads.
Disappointed in the so-called Verizon wifi  hotspots speeds.
Does anyone know when this will be accessible via the Mac OS?
Thanks!

Ironically, turning Airplane Mode on disables streaming, but still shows your entire library when shuffling. However, the unavailable songs skip, like they should. But could still be tapped to download, if there were service. I wish there was a way to separate playback from having music available for download.

    MS Word for OS X has never supported Arabic (or Hebrew or any Indic langauge).  I think it is in fact the only word processor in the universe which cannot do Arabic on a Mac.   Common sense should tell you that the place to complain about that is Microsoft, not Apple.
    OS X does have full Arabic support.  The best word processor to use is Mellel, but TextEdit, Nisus Writer, and OpenOffice should also work OK.  Plus of course Mail, Safari, etc.  iWork apps have bugs.

    When will Windows 8.1 be supported on Boot camp 5? I have a new Mac book Pro 2013 and cannot install. Do I return the Windows version and try to download 8.0, or wait it out until it is supported? New to Mac's.

    When will Camera Raw and Photoshop support Nikon 610 cameras

    Hi,
    What version of photoshop and operating system are you using?
    Photoshop cs6 and photoshop cc should open those files.
    You might just need to go to Help>Updates from within photoshop cs6/cc to get an updated camera raw plugin
    Camera raw 8.3 or 8.4, depending on your operating system.

  • When will LR3 be updated to support D600 RAW files?

    When will LR3 be updated to support D600 RAW files?

    When? I believe the answer is that it will NOT be updated to support D600 RAW files.
    To use D600 with LR3, you will have to download and use the free Adobe DNG Converter. However, I don't think the most current version handles D600 RAWs, so you will have to be patient on this. According to one knowledgeable source, the update will be available soon.
    Or you can upgrade to LR4, and at some point in the future (allegedly "soon") it will be able to handle D600 RAW files.

  • When will OJ150 all in one support android

    When will OJ150 all in one support android

    The printer itself does not care which operating system is being used, it has more to do with the operating system supporting the bluetooth printing protocol. At this time android does not support this, but there are third party apps available that will do it. These apps are not made by HP, and since they are not a part of android they may not give you the full capabilities you are looking for. A few of them are free however, or have a free trial to print a test page to prove they work before purchasing.

  • When will SSDT-BI for VS2013 support SSIS 2012?

    Hi
    When will SSDT-BI for VS2013 support SSIS 2012?
    Of a bit more elaborate: If you would like to develop packages for SSIS 2012 (that is SQL 2012) using VS 2013, when can you then expect an update to SSDT-BI for VS2013 that allow this?
    Thanks
    Michael

    Hi Michael,
    The Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools - Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2013 is the native SSDT of SQL Server 2014. Be different from SSRS and SSAS projects, SSIS projects created in SSDT (SQL Server 2012 version or SQL Server 2014 version) are not
    backward compatible. So, it won’t be supported to create SSIS 2012 format packages in Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools - Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2013.
    There are already two versions of SSDT for SQL Server 2012: the native one that uses Visual Studio 2010 shell, and the
    standalone one that uses Visual Studio 2012 shell. Personally, I don’t think they will plan a third version of SQL Server 2012 SSDT that uses Visual Studio 2013 shell.

  • When will iTunes not have ******** tag support?

    I just hit this problem today of iTunes/ipod not liking tag headers on certain MP3s and just choking on them and not playing. After digging around some I found out that iTunes uses some outdated tag support whcih causes problems. When will apple fix this? I mean my winamp/WMP can play the files just fine, but in itunes, it doesn't even register in the playlist/library and if its alerady there, it just doesn't play. Can we fix this sometime apple?

    Whenever the owner of the distribution rights of those films reach an agreement with Apple that allows them to sell them.
    Typing in all caps indicates shouting, is considered rude, and is difficult to read.  Many simply do not read such posts.

    I have a user on an iMac 10.6 connected to our domain.  She uses Outlook web access for email on our exchange server.  Last week she received the following message which is randomly preventing her from sending emails.  She claims no attachment was involved in the original email when this all started.  I have not been able to look at her account as she is out of the office but maybe someone else dealt with this issue.  I realize this may not be Mac related but thought I'd give it a try.  She did say it occurred once over two days while working on a PC but it continued over the past weekend.
    If an internal user tries to send a message with infected attachment using Outlook Web Access, it may report the following error message: The action could not be completed because of a conflict with the original item. The conflict may have occurred when an existing item was updated on another computer or device. Open the item again and try making your changes. If the problem continues, contact technical support for your organization.
    This is because F-Secure Anti-Virus for Microsoft Exchange has detected a virus in the attachment. If the user tries to send the message again, the message will be sent but without the attachment. At the same time a blank message with an attachment named "Attachment_information.txt" will remain in the user's Drafts folder. The "Attachment_information.txt" will contain information about the virus detected in the message.

    PS - have found other posts indicating that clips smaller than 2s or sometimes 5s, or "short files" can cause this. Modern style editing often uses short takes ! Good grief I cannot believe Apple. Well I deleted a half a dozen short sections and can export, but now of course the video is a ruined piiece of junk and I need to re-do the whole thing, the sound etc. which is basically taking as much time as the original. And each time I re-do it I risk again this lovely error -50 and again trying to figure out what thing bugs it via trial and error instead of a REASONABLE ERROR MESSAGE POINTING TO THE CLIP IT CAN'T PROCESS. What a mess. I HATE this iMovie application - full of BUGS BUGS BUGS which Apple will not fix obviously, since I had this product for a few years and see just hundreds of hits on Google about this error with disappointed users. Such junk I cannot believe I paid money for it and Apple does not support it with fixes !!!
    If anyone knows of a GOOD reasonably priced video editing program NOT from APPLE I am still looking for suggestions. I want to do more video in future, but obviously NOT with iMovie !!!

    I click on Newsstand, then search for The Scotsman.   When I click on The Scotsman App there is no option to Download, only the OPEN box.  When I click on OPEN nothing happens.    It seems to know I'm already subscribed - it shows the subscription under In-App purchases but it doesn't open. I've also tried getting in using Featured and Purchased at the bottom of the screen, but nothing works.  Thanks for trying to help.

    I do not have a Mac but I want to give a software program for a Mac as a gift. I am not able to access the Mac store. Do I just get an iTunes card?

    "Gift Card" is sometimes called a tacky gift, but if it allows the other person to get whatever they want it works.
    Besides, anything purchased through App Store is usually "All Sales Final", so I think iTunes card is a good idea.

  • When will Firefox increase their HTML5 support?

    Like, since Firefox 11 the HTML5 support hasn't gone up a bit. Like it supports 345 points. As when even Opera and Safari bulldozed Firefox with a 376 and 385 pointer. Then Chrome FLATTENED Firefox, with a 437 points. And even Internet Explorer is chasing Firefox like a cat and a mouse, with 319 points and counting. Like WHEN, will Firefox actually put some more effort into building their HTML5 support?

    There is always work going on on increasing our support of the HTML5 standard. For example, from Firefox 14.0.1 to Firefox 17 (still in development, the HTML5Test has gone from 345 to 383. The HTML5 standard is still evolving, and work is always being done. However, this isn't the best place to discuss this. [https://developer.mozilla.org/ https://developer.mozilla.org/] is the developer portal for Firefox and covers all the HTML5 work going on.
