Windows 8 computers using USB modems

When using a new Windows 8 computer with a USB modem you must download the new software for the USB modem and the new drivers from www.vzam.net. The existing disk that comes with the device will not have the current drivers or software needed to intall VZAccess manager to Windows 8. Use WIFI to get to Access Manager. In the drop down box choose Windows 8, choose USB modem in the next dropdown and follow directions. Should take about 15-20 minutes, the computer will restart and you can start access manager just as before.

There is no disk.
Borrow a friends PC or ask them to do you a favor and make one for you. Go to a hotspot, library or borrow a buddy's internet for 20 minutes. You can get the files from the download to your desired PC however you like from there (Burn to CD, copy to USB drive, share over the network, etc.)
You could try contacting VZW tech support and see what they say. However, it will be cheaper and faster if you find a better way to download it for yourself.

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.

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+

Can two computers use USB to print to the same printers?

My wife and I have two macs, side by side, one a G5 iMac and the other a G5 PowerMac, both running 10.5.1 We have four printers, and we both use all of them at different times. We have one powered USB hub with four ports.
What we would like to do is have all of the printers available to each of us. We had tried Bluetooth and that works OK, but as we understand it both computers have to be turned on to connect that way, and sometimes we are not both at our computers at the same time.
Is there a way for us to do this?

You can turn all 4 printers into network printers using a 4 USB port to ethernet print server like this one at Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/Keyspan-US-4A-4-Port-Server-Mbps/dp/B0001NA3L2
I've used devices like this for PC networks, but this one says it's also compatible with Mac OS X.2 and up. There are many more of these print servers available, so it's probably a matter of budget for quality.
When I've set these things up on PC's I first had to connect the printers directly to the PC so that I could get the drivers for the printer to install. Then I changed them to network printers. On your Mac's you've already got the drivers working for the different printers, so you won't have to deal with that until you replace a printer with it's new driver.
Of course, for this to work, you will have to have an ethernet network to plug the device into, but you didn't provide any information about your connectivity options.
Neither Mac has to be running for the other one to print.

LR3 - Retaining image edits between 2 computers using USB Hard Drive

Hi guys,
I'm having troublewith syncing edits to my images between 2 computers that I'm using and wondered if you can help.
I have a desktop mac which is my main computer for image editing and also a Macbook. I don't store any images on either machined hard drives, I use a portable USB drive so that I can plug it into either computer.
I do most of my image edits on my desktop mac but then when I plug the hard drive into my laptop, the images are just as they were off the camera with no edits.
I need to be able to sync the edits so that when I plug the hard drive into the macbook, the edits are shown.
I do wedding photography and make the edits on my desktop and then would like to be able to take my laptop to visit my clients and show them the edited images.
Please could someone explain to me how to do this.
Many thanks in advance.

I wouldn't use RAID for TM, but...

Windows Vista hotsync using USB infrared adapter and Vx

Using Vista 32 bit and palmdesktop 4.1.4 to hotsync with Palm Vx. I purchased a usb infrared adapter since my computer only comes with usb ports, no serial ports. Got the infrared usb adapter to work, now I am not sure how to configure hotsync manager. Do I select infrared or usb. Selecting infrared doesn't seem to work and the touchscreen then locks up and I have to reset the Vx, which is painful. Any other configuration changes I need to make to get this to work? Thanks
Post relates to: Palm Vx

On the Vista PC, if it is 32bit, you can use Palm desktop 4.1.4 and the serial to usb cable.
Here is the link to Palm Desktop 4.1.4
http://kb.palm.com/wps/portal/kb/common/article/37014_en.html
In regards to sync'ing with the MAC using infrared, you will need to do a search on the internet for a USB/infrared adapter for your MAC. Make sure it says it is for a MAC 10.5. There are many different makes and models.

Hi,
Listed below is the step by step intructions to configure the Nokia device as a modem to a mac.
Steps:
Connecting your Mac to the internet is convenient and easy with your a compatible Nokia S60 device. You'll need a Nokia S60 device that supports a 2G or 3G data connection (such as GPRS or HSDPA), a compatible Mac (with the latest OS X), a USB cable for your Nokia device or a Bluetooth-enabled Mac, and a network subscription with your mobile service provider.
To set up your device you'll need to know your operator's Access Point Name (APN) and have the packet data service enabled. For help with this please contact your operator.
In Settings select and open Connection >Select and open Packet data > Select and open Access point >Type in your operator's Access Point Name
Exit Settings. Your device is now ready to be used as a modem for your Mac!
Bluetooth Connection: Pairing between Mac and Device using bluetooth, follow the instruction from here: http://europe.nokia.com/get-support-and-software/download-software/device-as-a-modem/connect-to-your...
Note: Preferred mode is USB as it much faster than Bluetooth.
Connect the device and then go to System preferences- >Network- >Select Device (Nokia XXX)
Click on Advanced Tab > Modem tab
- Vendor : Nokia
-Model:GPRS (GSM/3G)
-Telephone Number: *99***1# (contact your operator to get this settings)
-APN: airtelgprs.com (contact your operator to get this settings)
CID: 1
Once connected it will be highlighted in green.
Hopefully this helps.
Cheers
Sandy

Connection with Windows 7 PC by USB - PlayBook not Recognized on File Explorer of BlackBerry Desktop

When I connect my PlayBook (OS 2.1) to my Windows 7 PC using USB cable, I do hear the familiar two-tone sound indicating connection, but the Windows File Explorer does not create a Drive Designation letter (such as Z:\). And BlackBerry Desktop Software (latest update), does not recognize it either. I have already tried re-booting the tablet and computer.

uninstall BlackBerry device manager ( not desktop manager), reboot, connect playbook and wait for like 10 minutes for driver to install

Using C7 as USB-modem under Windows 8.1 - connecti...

Hello there,
my girl-friend used her C7-00 as a wifi-tethering device until recently when she got her new computer that came with Windows 8.1.
Because 8.1 does not support WEP-Hotspot, I decided to hook up the phone using USB-cable and Nokia Suite. The connection goes alright, and she can surf through her C7 for a while, but then after 2 minutes approximately Nokia Suite says the connection has been dropped. This happens every time. Internet works perfectly on the phone.
Tried solutions: restarting phone, updating software, switching USB-modem mode, checking access-point configuration in Nokia Suite
Can anyone offer a suggestion on how to make this work ? Otherwise we will have to buy a new smartphone :-(.

Hi, sennerin.
Welcome to Nokia Support Discussions Forum!
Regarding your concern, Nokia Suite is not compatible with PC which runs Windows 8.1 OS. You can check the compatible Operating System of PC for Nokia Suite here: Nokia Suite. That is the reason why the connection is not that stable when using the phone as an internet modem.

WiFi solution using Telstra wireless USB modem

Having perused the many discussions concerning difficulties with wireless networking using OS X Lion, I now have little confidence as a new Mac owner in establishing such an internet connection unaided .
After much technical support, I come to realise that my current telstra USB modem (sierra wireless compass 885) being used with a pc laptop is not directly compatible with OS X 10.7.3.
My basic need is to have an internet connection on my Macbook and an ideal situation of being able to network with pc, Apple TV and possibly a backup device such as time capsule.
So, I figure my options are to either purchase a new compatible USB modem and router, or purchase a wifi router that will allow me to connect my Mac to the internet wirelessly through the existing pc connection.
Please advise on the viability of these options, insofar as the likelihood of establishing and maintaining such a network without the need for a fixed line ethernet ADSL type connection. Further to this, I would appreciate any recommendations for suitable modems and routers.

Do you need a modem because you have a dial-up ISP? There are several USB modems that work with Macs listed on Amazon. Just search for USB modems and you'll be able to find customer comments suggesting ones that work with Macs. There is a US Robotics on Amazon with reviews that say that it works with Lion -
http://www.amazon.com/USRobotics-USR5637-FaxModem-Windows-Linux/dp/B0013FDLM0/re f=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1335769698&sr=8-1
If you have a DSL or cable modem, I would suggest in investing in a good wireless router so that you could connect all your computers. For Time Machine, I don't use the wireless drives that Apple sells, I just use a G-Drive Firewire drive. There are a lot of good outers on the market - I have a LinkSys (Cisco) that I bought a couple of years ago that is a great little 4-port router. Try http://home.cisco.com/en-us/home for a selection of good routers (others here may have other brand preferences, but Cisco has always worked well for me with minimum set-up required).
More specifics would help - what Mac you have, if your ISP is dial-up, DSL or cable, etc.

How to install windows 7 using usb as the bootcamp doesnot have the option of creating a bootable usb. please help

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You can install Windows from a USB drive in one of these computers:
- MacBook Pro with Retina display.
- Mac mini (Mid 2010 and newer).
- MacBook Air.
- iMac (Late 2012).
If you don't have any of these Macs, you can't install Windows through a USB drive. Instead, buy Windows on a DVD. Follow Apple's steps > http://support.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1519/en_US/Boot_Camp_Install-Setup_10.6. pdf

Install Windows 7 on a Mid 2010 Mac mini using USB or SD media?

Is is possible to install Windows 7 on a Mid 2010 Mac mini using USB or SD media? I have not figured this out. Here's what I have observed:
I can install OS X Lion using USB or SD media. Both are detected in the boot menu, and will boot.
An SD card with Windows 7 installation files formatted MBR/FAT32 using diskpart appears (with an SD card icon) in the boot menu but when selected as a boot device, the boot fails and the existing OS X instance on the Macintosh HD starts. A USB stick formatted as described does not appear in th boot menu at all.
An SD card or a USB stick formatted as described will boot on a Mid 2011 MacBook Air, and can be used to install Windows 7.
Is this due to EFI differences between a Mid 2010 Mac mini and a Mid 2011 MacBook Air?
Thanks.

The Mac Mini Mid 2010 has a DVD player built in, you can startup and install from a Windows 7 DVD. The Mac Mini Mid 2011 does not have a DVD player built in. I am happy that in new computers I can make use of an USB-stick to install Windows 7. Windows 7 uses MBR and Mac OS X uses EFI and that is why it was not possible on a Mac Mini Mid 2010. I think the EFI on a Mac Mini Mid 2011 is different.
I should like a firmware update on my Mac Mini Mid 2010 if possible. In that case I could choose between DVD or USB stick if I want to install Windows 7.
I also have a FireWire CF Card Reader. I think it is not possible to install Windows 7 via FireWire too.
I do have an external USB HD with 2 partitions: Mac OS X 10.6.8 and Windows 7, but is is not possible to start up Windows 7 from the external HD. It is possible to start up Mac OS X 10.6.8 from the external HD on a Mac Mini Mid 2010.
