Z1 compact as USB modem on mac

Hello!
How to connect Xperia Z1 Compact as USB modem with my Macbook air MD760?
I've checked the box "USB tethering" in phone settings. But I don't have an internet connection on my mac.
Thanks!

As far as I know this will not work as standard since Mac does not support drivers for this function as standard. But you'll might be able to download separately drivers for this function on your Mac. Make a Google search on "HoRNDIS" for example and hopefully you will get further information.
Otherwise, you can setup your phone as a portable Wi-Fi hotspot. Check the following link under the headline "To use your device as a portable Wi-Fi® hotspot":

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

Apple USB modem crashes Mac Pro (MacPro3,1) ???

(1) After plugging an Apple USB modem into one of the rear USB ports of my (new) Mac Pro I get weird crashes (sometimes 2, sometimes 10+ a day; sometimes the grey "curtain" falls, sometimes the machine simply freezes with no other symptoms). Here is an example crash report:

(2) Now, if an Apple USB modem doesn't work, what are my options to send & receive faxes w/ this machine?
TIA, Harald

Yes, this is true. I use a iMac8,1 whit the same symptom. The Modem is used to receive faxes direct to the mac. We use the standart fax software from apple. i can work for days whit out crashes. But then... I wish some one at apple would take care of it...

Can't eject USB modem (Vodafone) - MAC OS crash

Hi,
I have recently purchased a USB modem for mobile broadband from Vodafone Australia. When I plug it into my Macbook (Intel Core 2 Duo running OSX 10.5.8) the modem appears then automatically disappears from the "DEVICES" tab on the Finder. It also disappears from Disk Utility and the Desktop, so I can't find a way to eject the modem when I'm done. If I unplug it, the computer freezes, with a black shade coming down and telling me that I have to turn off the computer. Any ideas how to fix this?
Thanks for any help!
Eric

I had a problem that might be related to yours: after I unplugged my fax modem there was a 30-second timeout delay before my iMac (OSX 10.6.5) would go to sleep. The problem went away when I "deleted" the modem:

Does The Apple USB Modem Work With The Mac mini ??????

Just wanted to know if anyone has successfully used the new Apple USB Modem with the Mac mini, is it compatable ????
Thank you for your input on this.
Mike D.

It says it works with the Mac mini, but does it really? I just received my modem yesterday and could not get it to work with my 1.42 mini - the more expensive one that comes without a dialup modem! I looked carefully at the specs and it appears the Apple USB modem requires Mac OS 10.4.3, not the 10.4.2 that comes with the Mac mini.
Talk about stupid! And the mini docs say it comes with the "latest" version of Tiger. Not! So I can download the upgrade, I guess. IF I could get on the internet! This is extremely annoying. I guess I'll have to download the upgrade on another computer and transfer it somehow. Boy, those Apple guys sure are tech geniuses, aren't they???

Problem with USB Modem (Apple)

Hello,
I have a MacBookPro and a recently purchased the Apple USB External Modem. When I connect to the computer once I get a sign that reads:
Incompatible. You can not use an Apple USB External Modem on this computer.
Please, I am overwhelmed with this, anyone can tell me what happens??
Thanks, and sorry for my English.

The Apple USB modem requires Mac OS X v10.4.3 through Mac OS X v10.6.8 running in 32 bit mode. This modem has been discontinued.

Does Apple USB modem (or any USB modem) work with Telix under Boot Camp?

I know, it's one heck of an obscure and specific question. But it just so happens to be critical to whether I try and use an Intel Mac (new, with Leopard, under Boot Camp) as a PC (where a PC would be a lot easier as far as having a built-in 56k modem goes). By Telix I mean the most "recent" version of Telix for Windows. Thanks in advance for the assistance.

Intel Mac mini as a faxserver with more then one USB-Modems?

Hi there,
does anybody have a clue if this idea will work?
We plan to buy a Intel Mac mini and someone had the idea to use it additionally as a faxserver - BUT, we'll need more the one fax-line. So, I wonder if it is possible to buy 3 or even 4 external USB-Modem from Apple to use all of them.
Does anyone tried this before?
Any comments are welcome!
Thanks in advance, Chris.
Mac mini Core Duo, 2GB, 120GB Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Hello Chris,
incl. a four line fax-card. Why isn't it a good
choice?
From my experience the Mac's make a terrible fax machine.
I have tried receiving faxes with a 1.8 GHz iMac G5 (with built-in modem), a 2.0 GHz iMac G5 (with built-in modem), and my 1.25 GHz Mac Mini (with built-in modem).
In every single case, and experiment, they dropped the fax after the first page.
So, that means that I've gone round and round trying to get beyond the first page received without trouble.
I do have a real fax machine, and never have any trouble receiving faxes on the same line with it. So, I only use the computer as a fax when I want to only receive the first page (for example the many local doctors who send me their customers private details).
In the case of the doctors, my phone rings frequently with customer's private details. All I want is the first page so I can call the doctor and tell them to quit sending me faxes.
They will send, send, and re-send until a fax machine answers. It keeps the phone busy all day if I don't receive the fax.
But, it costs money to receive the 30-page faxes just to stop the phone ringing. So, I let the computer capture the first page, and then call them and demand that they quit calling me (which works for a couple of days).
You wouldn't believe the information they have sent me. And, with an older doner-film fax, a 30-page document is mighty expensive.
What really gets me, is when they had the nerve to request me to invest even more money and pay to mail the fax back to them. I tell them their free to drive here and get it, otherwise, it's going in the garbage.
I can tell you from experience, that your medical records are not safe with a doctor. They just assume they are dialing the right number, and will send your entire personal history (and even family history - I've received generations of information) to just about anyone with a fax machine.
Anyway, now that I explained how I use mine, I hope you can better understand why a real fax machine is going to serve you better.
The tolerance of a real fax machine will prevent you from constantly trying to receive the same fax over and over and over again.

USB wireless Modems for MAC

Hi Apple users,
Could an one tell me which USB wireless internet Modems support MAC OS X leopard 10.5.6 macbooks? Could you also tell me which one is the best and efficient USB modem for the MAC books? You help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Regards,
Naresh

You'll need to clarify what you're looking for. Do you need an actual phone-line modem? There are boxes you can connect to wirelessly and then dial out, but they're not as popular as they used to be. Likewise, are you looking for a phone line modem for the MacBook? Apple has one they officially support -- I think it's actually made by US Robotics.
What do you mean by "efficient"? Lowest power consumption? Best speed? Least heat?
If you're looking for what the cable and DSL providers call a "modem", nobody can recommend one until they know what you plan to connect it to. Most of them are actually routers or bridges, and not real modems (modulator-demodulator).

USB Modem dial up connection Mac 2 Mac - possible?

I am trying to find a replacement terminal emulation programme to replace ZTerm. Now that I have an Apple USB modem, ZTerm is useless but I can't find a program that will work in a similar way using USB rather than Serial to connect two computers over a dial up connection.
Anybody?
Griff

I have usb modem how i can use it with mac book pro 13inch

i have usb modem but in my mac book pro 13inch 2.9 i can not use it by ethernet port how i can mak it
this modem in Libya company(www.ltt.ly) modem name Wimax 325
i want help

And if it supports 802.11a or 802.11b it may not offer the full WPA2 encryption, in which case you want to be at least 1500 feet (500 meters) from the nearest neighbor to ensure a secure connection. 802.11g supports WPA2 as well, and is also supported by the MacBook Pro. It just is slower at 33 Mbps.

MAC pro 2013 model not detecting E122 USB Modem

Hi,
For some reason, the light of USB modem doesnt glow, and neither is it detected. But when the Mac is restarted, the USB Modem does lit, and shows signs of being detected. Tried downloading Mobile Partner, but since the Modem is not detected, nothing proceeds. It worked well on my Windows PC.

Contact the vendors technical support unit. Because it may work on a PC, it does not follow that it will work on a Mac.
Ciao.
