Why doesn't dialup connection work?

I just bought a MacPro and cannot get a dialup connection to work 90% of the time. My old computer connects every time, but the MacPro hardly ever goes thru, maybe once for every 10 tries. What's up?

If you are using the v.92 dialup protocol try scaling it back to the v.90 protocol. maybe that will give you some better reliability.

  • Why doesn't iPhone connect to the internet when connected a computer?

    Why doesn't iPhone connect to the internet when plugged into a computer that has ethernet internet connection?

    Also, computers don't work that way either to share a connection like that. Just because you plug a device into a computer doesn't mean it can use it's internet connection that way.
    Windows Mobile devices have been able to use their host USB cable to connect to the internet, since at least the year 2000. (And vice versa, more recently.)
    It was actually a minor surprise at first that Apple didn't support it.

  • Why doesn't my timeline work in IE?

    I created this page with a basic timeline.  The timeline works in Firefox, Safari and Chrome but not in IE.  All my browsers are up to date. Any help would be appreciated!

    Thanks again,
    Steve

    Nancy; THANK YOU!!  OK..it still does not work but I see where there are a lot of errors. I changed the head tags and it still does not work but I would assume I can go to the site/page you sent and it analyzes webpages for errors?  I will keep at it til I get it right or maybe redo the page but thank you very much for your time...I truly appreciate it.

  • Why doesn't viewport tag work if the page is local?

    If the ipad just connects to my computer and views the .htm page then the viewport tag is not supported. However, if I upload that same page to a web server and visit it the ipad does support it.

    Hi Morpheus:
    I haven't tested it but Firefox 26 from the Google Play store should work on the Galaxy Mega. I'd be surprised if it doesn't. It works fine on the 3 other Samsung devices I have.
    Please try re-installing Firefox and then if you still have the same issue namely:
    QUOTE
    '''I get the Metro PCS default page that says I need the Mobile Hotspot service'''
    END QUOTE
    than it's probably a Metro PCS issue because it is possible for your mobile carrier to do things like take over what's displayed when you open Firefox or any other browser. We've had cases of other US mobile carriers changing the home page on Firefox and other Android browsers for example.
    If you still get the same Metro PCS issue, does the issue go away when you use another WiFi provider, e.g. at Starbucks?
    '''IF the issue goes away when you use another WiFi provider, it's definitely a Metro PCS issue (in that case please ask Metro PCS support).'''

  • Update never completes - always "connecting to update server" I can do manual update but why doesn't auto-update work?

    I have this same problem with three machines (all linux - different versions of linux & firefox). Yes, I could do a manual update. But, I would like to get the issue with auto-update sorted out. I have a common network setup: private IP (192.168.15.xxx) on a router connected to COMCAST. There is a firewall but no proxy.

    Thanks cor-el! Your question about how it was installed was spot on. It was installed as root (I always do that for an app like Firefox so that it is available to all users. That is also the default when installing apps with yum or other package managers). The solution is to run firefox as root (''kdesu firefox'') so that it has access to the installation folder for writing. I selected Help -> about firefox and it updated right away.
    The error for the mozilla people is in not detecting and either handling (asking for root privileges) or reporting the problem instead of hanging up in an infinite loop.
    Thank you.

  • Why doesn't the Macbook work lid-closed??

    I've only just discovered that the Macbook will try to go to sleep every time i close it's lid. For me, this is possibly the most annoying thing that any laptop could ever do!
    I know the Macbook is designed for lid closed use when external keyboard, mouse and display are connected. But if it doesn't overheat in this situation, then why should it be a problem without any of these connected!?
    I use my laptops esentially as desktops. Download and encode video overnight, play mp3's 24/7 and don't want to leave the lid open for dust to collect just to be able to do these things.
    Can anyone think of anything to explain this crazy behaviour? Or vouch for the use of software to work around this, such as sleepless.
    Macbook (White) 2.0GHz   Mac OS X (10.4.6)   - 2Gb RAM, 80Gb HD

    Wtihout knowing Aple's specific reasons I would think that it were a safely reason. With the lid closed it would hence but unknown if it were on. There are no lights or anything to say this so potentially you can grab it and move it as though you would when off. Thi s could be extremely bad, even with the sudden motion sensor.
    When it is connected to an external monitor you will at minimum have to disconnect it and USB mouse/keyboard which does give you time to think that it's on.
    I have the same issue as you do though as I have a PowerBook currently running as a server. I use a very high tech device to keep the lid open just enough to keep the thing from sleeping.… it's called an eraser.

  • Why doesn't Wifi Sync work after updating ITUNE?

    Hello, I updated my Itune to 11.1.4.62 version.
    After updating, WIFI sync doesn't work anymore. I have to connect the cable to my laptop to sync it. Before this upgrade it was working fine.
    Now, I have Iphone 5. I run Windows 7.
    I did all the recommended trouble shooting.
    I disconnected the model and router and reconnected again.
    On Summary page the Wifi Sync is CHECKED
    I ran the diagnostic, but obviously it says iphone is not detected.
    I reseted my iphone.
    It still doesn't work.
    How can I solve this matter and why does Apple have so many irrtating problems like this?

    The passcode screen shows as usual but when I enter the passcode it says the passcode is invalid. This is the same passcode I have had for over a year, so I am sure I entered it correctly.  I stopped trying before the phone was disabled though.
    I've seen other similar posts but they mostly say connect it to my computer, start itunes, then restore. I haven't synced with itunes in a long time, not sure restoring it would be a good idea.  I back up to iCloud much more frequently but can't remember for sure when I last did that either.  I'm afraid of losing stuff in the process of restoring it.

  • Why doesn't my Phone work properly with my Cars Bu...

    Car manufacturers are now building complex car kits into their vehicles.
    The companies include:
    Ford, Audi, BMW, Alfa Romeo, Peugeot, Vauxhall/Opel, Volkswagen, Mercedes, and other high end specification cars.
    One of the functions, is that it pulls the phone book data from the phone via bluetooth.
    Background Information 
    A lot of the Nokia E and N series, Symbian S60 handsets, do not carry the required bluetooth profile in their bluetooth stack.
    The phone is missing the Phone Book Access Profile (PBAP) that allows the car to pull data from the phone.
    Why the phones do not carry the profile is unknown. What is known is that using the Nokia 810 car kit downloader software, you can partly restore some of this functionality.
    Additionally the Nokia 616 Car Kit Downloader will also function, along with the Ford Connectivity Downloader.
    Workaround 
    The information is here:
    http://europe.nokia.com/A4143881
    You'll need to delete the existing pairing in the handset and the car, then install and run the application, don't just install the application and expect it to work, you must re-pair the handset and the car.
    When it is installed start the application, and then re-pair the phone to the radio, this may then copy your contacts into the radio, be paitent, as it can take a few minutes to copy and setup.
    It may copy the phone book over, but the Missed Dialled and Received calls may not work.
    I have tested this with an Audi S3, A4, and A6 on a Nokia N82 and N95.
    The Nokia E71, appears to have the profile and functions correctly with an Audi car kit, in Handsfree Profile mode.
    The Nokia E71, when connected in SIM access profile mode is the same as the other E and N series handsets are requires the 810 or 616 downloader to be installed in the handset.
    Installing the 810/616 downloader only restores phone book functionality, there are some software combinations on car and phones that work without the downloader.
    It may also be possible for your car manufacturers franchised dealer to be able to update the software in your car so that additional features are available, they may charge for this service. Also updating software in the phone may also help, as Nokia may see fit to add the profile if they are able.
    For some cars and handsets, when you are connecting with the SIM Access Profile function, you will still need to install the 616/810 downloader application as detailed above, as the phone normally switches off most of its functionality. The phone book will then normally function when you have installed the application.
    The workaround only resolves the problem with the phone book. Problems such as random disconnecting which also is reported, are beyond the scope of this article.
    Edit: 24-01-09
    I have noticed recently that random disconnecting can be caused if you have an Internet Telephony Service running in your handset. Also if you have the WLAN discovery setting enabled then this can cause the same problem - whilst I am not attempting to try and resolve random disconnects, it could be a reason for why this is happening.
    I have recently installed a VoIP service in my handset and 100 mtrs from my home when the handset disconnects from this service at my house, the Bluetooth disconnects from the Car Kit, in my E71.
    Edit 14-04-09
    Audi also make a Bluetooth Sim Access Profile adapter for their Generation II and Generation III (Low) mobile telephone interface. (Audi Part No: 8P0051440) The SIM access service will require the 810 phone kit downloader application. With this on my kit I am getting disconnections with Bluetooth. To prevent this, I switch Bluetooth off and then on again prior to connecting to the kit, this resolves the disconnecting.
    Edit 12-05-09
    Further to the Audi edit above, I now have an Audi S4 2009 with the Audi Mobile Phone Preparation (high) for this to function correctly with phone book access the 810 Downloader needs to be installed, and running when the phone connects to the car every time it connects. Otherwise the phone book access does not operate.
    Edit:12-06-09
    You can also use the Ford Contact Downloader application from
    http://www.ford-mobile-connectivity.com/ - select downloads then Select a Nokia E or N Series Device and download the contact application (this works fine in my Audi)

  • Why doesn't iChat connect most times?

    Whether open already but not connected. Or. Opening MacBook Pro and launching iChat. Or opening computer from sleep, hitting command L to conect.
    All of these ways of trying to use iChat only makes iChat just hang. if I force quit, then the only way to ever get iChat to eve open is to restart the computer.
    Right now I'm waiting for iChat to connect after hitting Command L. I wait and after about 3 minutes it fials to conect. I dont' dare force quit anymore, because then I need to restart. That's the only way to even get iChat to launch again.
    Ayone Else?

    Forgive me but what is the difference between 443 and 5190 (aside from just being a different port number)? I have been having a problem with my iChat disconnecting every 6-12 minutes. I added a suggested crontab entry that runs every minute that just tells iChat to login... but if it disconnects the notification window appears and it doesn't work as well as I would like it to (i.e. stay connected without interruption). I have changed my setting to 443 to see if that helps. Oh yeah, I am using a .mac account instead of a normal AIM address (if that matters).

  • Why Doesn't My FaceTime Work?

    FaceTime works on my iPod Touch, but not my Mac. Doesn't matter which Apple ID I use, I always get the same error. "FaceTime cannot connect. Check your network settings and try again." Or something like that. I can log into the iTunes Store with the same Apple ID, and my Safari works fine. I've tried with the firewall On and Off. I've tried deleting the App and reinstalling from the App Store. No success.
    Thanks!

  • Why Doesn't this App Work?

    I make 10-15 stops in downtown Houston occasionally.  The Houston Metro provides an app named "Houston TRIP".  It's for the iPhone.  I downloaded it for my iPod 5, but iTunes give an error message something like "Cannot install this app because it is not for this iPod."   This app is one of several reasons I bought the iPod.  I was assured the iPod would accept and run all iphone apps except those that used the telephone function.  This app makes no phone calls -- it simply connects you with the Metro website and allows you to find bus routes from point to point.  Since I can't load it, it may do other Metro things but finding bus routes is it's primary purpose.  
    Anybody know why it's incompatible with a current iPod, yet works on an iPhone?   Also, there many iPhone apps that don't use the phone function yet won't work on the iPad?

    The requirements for that app are as follows. Note it requires a cellular connection and the iPod does not have one.
    Requirements: Compatible with iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPad Wi-Fi + 3G, iPad 2 Wi-Fi + 3G, iPad Wi-Fi + 4G, iPad Wi-Fi + Cellular (4th generation) and iPad mini Wi-Fi + Cellular. Requires iOS 3.1 or later
