  • Windows 8.1 laptop cannot connect to the internet using USB Mobile Broadband stick.

    I bought a new laptop and it came with Windows 8.1 installed. Well, things worked perfectly until I wanted to connect to the internet using my mobile broadband USB stick. I installed the software that came with the stick, and my laptop recognize
    the stick but I still cant connect to the internet. The stick workes perfect in my Windows 7 and Windows 8 laptops, but IT DONT CONNECT WITH MY WINDOWS 8.1 LAPTOP. What can I do to troubleshoot this???
    HOPE I AM SPECIFIC ENOUGH THOU...

    The PC Repair Guy,
    If you haven't already, verify that you can connect to the internet through some other means such as Wi-Fi or Ethernet with your laptop to rule out any network setting issues.  If you are able to connect successfully to the internet, use that opportunity
    to make sure you have
    Windows 8.1 Update installed as well as any other applicable updates your laptop may require.
    You may also want to check the
    Windows Compatibility Center to make sure that your device is compatible with Windows 8.1. 
    Another possibility is that the driver your laptop is installing for the device isn't the correct one.  Check the device manufacturer's site for the most up to date driver they have available for Windows 8.1.
    Hope this helps!

  • Problems on start up with Snow Leopard after T-mobile mobile broadband inst

    Hi All
    I am a new mac user, and this is my first post, so please forgive me if I am repeating this issue.
    I have recently upgraded my mac os to Snow leopard.
    The issue that i have is that is that I installed a new USB mobile broadband stick from T-mobile, (which I was told by T-mobile is tested) when I tried to restard the Mac Book all I got was the Apple icon and it didnt boot up.
    I spoke with mac support who were very helpful. They guided me and I ended up having to re-install the original OS and then had to upgrade again to snow loepard.
    I installed the USB broadband again (big mistake), thinking that i may have been something else that caused the problem but the same problem occurred.
    My question is:
    Has anyone had any issues like this with T-mobile mobile broadband with their mac book?
    Kind Regards
    Jag

    I received my O2 Mobile Broadband stick (Huawei E160) yesterday and I was unable to run the Connection Manager. I went to my local O2 shop with my MacBook Air where we tried other models of USB modems but to no avail. They then produced their own Mac Book and all devices installed without any errors. They checked the OS version and they were on 10.4.xx. Armed with this information I went to the Apple store where they checked that there was no problem with my MacBook Air and tried to install the device but they had the same issues. They then tried to install the device onto another MacBook Air and a MacBook Pro and it failed. The conclusion from the Apple staff is that you cannot install USB Broadband Modems if you are using the Snow Leopard OS.

  • Problem connecting Huawei E303 Mobile Broadband Dongle to MBP 2012

    I have just purchased the Huawei E303 USB Stick for my mobile broadband from Singapore's StarHub. According to the instruction sheet, the laptop should detect the USB automatically and the mobile broadband should install itself automatically. My MBP 2012 does not detect the USB drive so I can't install the mobile broadband. My MBP run Mountain Lion 10.8.2. Does anyone have the same problem? Do you think it's the problem with Huawei or Apple? I have seen many forum posts on this issue but no one seems to offer definite solutions.

    Just my personal experience : I just installed a E303 on my MacBookPro Retina 15" running 10.8.2.
    All went smoothly (took a bit of time) for the first time.
    I unplugged the modem and pluged it back a few minutes later, and the modem doesn't show anymore, and is not recognized by the previously installed software. LED status show booting.
    Then I tried on a recent macbook Air 13", 10.8.2 as well. modem is not seen either.

  • Mobile Broadband: Verizon, Sprint, Type II PC Slot

    As of today, 9/13/2006, neither Verizon nor Sprint offer a USB based solution for Mobile Broadband.
    Does anyone know of a company that does?
    Also, what are the options for people that want Mobile Broadband, but don't have a Type II PC Slot?
    Thanks!
    iBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    JamieAaron, Welcome to the discussion area!
    Also, what are the options for people that want Mobile Broadband, but don't have a Type II PC Slot?
    Get a cellphone with the capability to act as a Bluetooth modem. Then you can connect from your iBook to your cellphone with Bluetooth and then from the cellphone to the cellular data network.

  • Will USB mobile broadband work with Apple TV?

    I am considering to get USB modem so I can use the apple TV anywhere. But I have not purchase the USB modem yet. Click below for more info on USB modem:-
    http://threestore.three.co.uk/broadband/
    I was thinking - USB modem is to be connected to my laptop (via USB port), Apple TV is to be connected to my laptop (via ethernet cable).
    The questions are when I switch Apple TV on:-
    1. Will Apple TV automatically find the internet?
    2. Will the USB mobile Broadband work with Apple TV (Wireless via my computer)?
    Please advise.

    I'm sure it should be someone answering this question who has actually tried this, but given that the tv is not overly portable I'm not sure you will find too many who have.
    FWIW, you can use an tv with a direct ethernet connection or ad hoc wifi network between the computer and the tv, so I don't see why a mobile account rather than a static one should make any difference. You would need to set up internet sharing and all that, but my guess is it should work for you. Be aware though, I haven't actually tried this.

  • NB 100: How to - Orange UK mobile broadband connection (icon 225 usb stick)

    I've just managed to get my nb100 connected, here is how:
    Step 1 - Register the SIM - instructions come with the device
    Step 2 - network manager upgrade
    #Right click on your network manager icon in the top right and select 'about'. If this is less than 0.7 (as was mine) upgrade is needed.
    #upgrade to network manager >=0.7
    >sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
    #add the following to the end:
    >deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/network-manager/ubuntu hardy main
    >deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/network-manager/ubuntu hardy main
    #save, exit, run update manager, install updates and reboot. If network manager icon is missing - shut down completely. Should appear after turned back on.
    Step 3 - Install the hso driver and ozerocdoff
    locate and download the latest version (1.9 in my case) here: http://www.pharscape.org/forum/index.php?board=14.0
    >cd Desktop/
    >tar zxvf hso-1.9.tar.gz

    >sudo make install
    Locate and download ozerocdoff
    >cd ../
    >tar zxvf udev.tar.gz
    >cd udev/
    >sudo make install
    Step 4 - Set up connection
    Right click on network manager and select 'edit connections' > mobile broadband. Edit the connection listed and insert the following:
    username: orange
    password: orange
    APN: orangeinternet
    When you plug your icon 225 in it should now connect.
    Pull the icon 225 out when you want to disconnect.. I tried using the disconnect option on the network manager and my notebook crashed..

  • USB Mobile Broadband

    Hi,
    I've looked everywhere in the user discussions and can't find an answer to my problem. This is my first post, and I'm not very techie, so please go easy on me!
    I just bought my macbook pro, and I connect to the internet via 3's USB Mobile Broadband Huaweii E122. I have had no issues installing the USB software, and it connects to the internet fine on startup. However when I close the computer lid (and the macbook sleeps), then I reopen the lid, it doesn't let me connect to the internet. It detects the driver, sim card etc, but it doesn't let me press the 'Connect' button (the button greys out). I have to physically disconnect the USB and plug it back in, then the macbook detects the driver and sim card and I can press the 'connect' button.
    I have uninstalled and reinstalled the usb modem. Problem persists. I have tried using it in different usb ports on the computer, with and without a usb extension cable. I have called tech support at my internet provider, who have told me that I'm just going to have to live with unplugging and plugging back in my modem because that's how macs work (total waste of a 20 minute phone call!). The funny thing is, that when I first installed the modem it was fine - this problem did not exist.
    Every time I startup the computer it detects the usb and lets me connect absolutely fine. It only happens when I close the lid and reopen it again. Sorry if this is so wordy, and I hope it makes sense! It's not the end of the world but it is certainly annoying having to unplug and plug in this modem. Can anyone help me?
    Thanks,
    Brit

    No, no router. It's called Mobile Broadband. I plug the usb stick (I've also seen it called a dongle) into my computer and the internet travels with me. I looked online for details about the internet type and connection and the only information I'm given that it's high speed broadband. When it's plugged into the computer for the first time it installs itself, and there shouldn't be a need to remove it. It worked perfectly with my other laptop (this was windows based) and it works fine with my mac, except for the 'connect' button greying itself out when the computer awakens from sleep mode.

  • Huwaei mobile broadband USB modem

    Hi,
    I did a search but I couldn't really find a topic relating to this issue directly; I recently purchased a mobile broadband contract, and they supplied me with a Huwaei USB modem, and it has been near useless, disconnecting and slow, with all graphics compressed and low quality (I assume as a kind of speed optimiser).. and these are all the things I can live with really, to be expected of dial up PPP style connections unfortunately (brings back memories!) but it is some other issues that are bugging me:
    When I disconnect and directly quit the Huwaei app, I get a kernel panic and an error log on rebooting relating to the mobile device, almost 100% repeatable. If I disconnect, then switch to another app, say even Finder, then back and quit, it is fine! Its a very consistent problem. It seems cause various strange kernel type problems and flakiness, which I've never experienced on this computer before.
    It also does this strange thing when it will disconnect, and give me a waiting for PPP termination message, before powering down completely, despite having a full battery. I'm 80% sure my battery is fine, although I am looking into this one.
    If any one else has had any probs with mobile broadband, it'd be good to hear what and if/how you found solutions!

    Hi. I never had a problem with errors and so forth (as of yet). My problem with the e160 Huwaei usb modem is that it comes and goes. Right now 'sweat as' but in an hour or so I bet its a different story. I usually get 60% good use out of it (functioning properly). I have an old HP laptop running XP(my parentsz) and it runs consistently good on that. Now that laptop is 5 years old. My imacs bearly 2 years. I have XP on parallel's on my imac so I can run both operating programs and still when its bad on leopard it still bad in XP on my imac. But I go to my parents laptop same time, same house and its all good on the HP XP laptop so its not the network. F@#kin weird as. Its just weird how its sweat now and later it will be **** house. Anyone with some answers out there or anyone with the same problem I am dying to find out.

  • Can a Mac Update disable a USB mobile broadband device?

    Hi all,
    Last night, my Clear internet went down on me, both home WiFi modem and plug-in USB mobile broaband device. One minute I was on the net and the next, not.   After wasting 2 hours with Clear customer service, I gave up and started Googling and found some lovely folks here on Apple Support communities that suggested uninstalling Intego Virus Barrier X6.  Well that worked to get my home WiFie modem up and running.  But my MacBookPro (10.5.8) doesn't still see the USB device plugged in. It's not my USB port, as other devices work fine plugged into the same port.  
    I called Clear customer service back and they suggested that there is some phantom Mac Update that has disabled my USB device.  I know they're bs-ing me.  I think the device is broken.   But I thought I"d see if any other Mac people have had a problems with a mobile Broadband device in connection with either Virus Barrier or Mac updates?  I've googled lots of search terms and can find no one else with this complaint

    No.
    It is possible for the Mac (or another computer) to update the firmware of a device, but you would know if you did that. Likewise it is possible for the Mac to be unable to detect the device through its own fault - such as the Mac's USB ports or wifi failing. But the Mac's updates are only for the Apple hardware and software. Also, updates take effect immediately. Were you installing an update when your connection went down?
    I think their tech support people are trying to get you off the line. If such a thing happened people would be reporting it all over the place, not just here. Ask them to point you to some reports. Ask which update did it.
    Best of luck.

  • USB mobile broadband dongle randomly disconnects

    This is really driving me mad. I had to get a USB dongle for my net connection because I couldn't afford a wired net connection, and after spending hours on the phone trying to get the tech support people to tell me what details I could enter into NetworkManager so I could use it as they don't publish a non-proprietary-software guide on their site, I finally managed to get it to work.
    Asides from the connection being crap (I live in a small country town so even ordinary mobile phones get < 3 bars), I've found that the device disconnects for no apparent reason, like it just shuts down. NetworkManager can't reboot it, unplugging it and plugging it in again doesn't fix it, and it seems the only solution is to reboot my computer (just like Windows huh). I've read somewhere that Huawei devices are supposed to be flipped to their modem state for them to work properly, but I'm not entirely sure how to do this, and don't really want to risk borking the device as it's the only net connection I've got for the time being.
    Where should I look to find debug information from the device and how to stop it from disabling itself after several hours? And are the usb_modeswitch and similar programs safe, i.e. are they likely to work as expected without totally messing up the device?

    I hope you have solved this problem by now but just in case here is my experience:-
    I have had this problem with on 2 different linux and windows machines. In my case it turned out to be a mechanical problem.  The USB sockets are very unreliable and for some reason particularly so with USB mobile broadband dongles.  In the first case the machine had front usb ports.  When the dongle was plugged into the front ports the connection was very unreliable and when plugged directly to the motherboard ports at the rear there was no problem.
    In the second case I was using a long usb cable as the signal strength at the PC was too weak for broadband connection. In this case the connection to the usb socket at the end of the cable was very loose so the internet connection would dropout for no apparent reason and as with your experience I would have to reboot to get it going again. This was an expensive usb cable too, so price was no guide to reliability.

  • Hauwei E156B Mobile Broadband USB Driver/Installation File

    Hello folks,
    I just recently purchase a USB Keyfob for Mobile Broadband. The model number is E156B and it is manufactured by Huawei. I have search up and down Huawei's support forms and downloading multiple software bundles to no avail. I don't think Huawei even supports Mac OSX 106. Snow Leopard. In any case, I figure I would try one last time here to see if someone has successfully configured the E156B through "Tigo" with OS 10.6.2

    I used a Huawei E169 Mobile Broadband Modem using a generic 3G Modem setup under Mac OS X 10.6.3.
    This is how I set up the modem:
    Open System Preferences window (from Apple menu)
    Open the Network Preference Pane.
    Select the Huawei xxx Modem item from the list of network connections (there were two more Huawei items)
    Click on "Advanced" settings.
    Select "Generic" as Modem Manufacturer.
    Select the 3G Modem type.
    enter the provider specific dial number (*99# in my case)
    enter the provider specific ID and password (left blank in my case)
    enter provider specific APN (in my case "Internet")
    you need to check your providers specific settings for the above!
    Click on OK button.
    Activate Network setting
    Choose to select modem in menue bar
    Close System Preferences Window...
    To connect, go to the menu bar, click on the handset icon and choose to connect.
    After use, disconnect as above (depending on your contract, time charges might apply)
    Good Luck
