MacBook Pro :: Unable To Install VF K3770 Vodafone Usb Modem?
Mar 23, 2012
I bought the Vodafone USB dangle to access internet. But i am getting the error message "update you mac or use the previous version of Vodafone mobile broadband". Though this modem works in windows.

I was informed by my ISP (Hughes.net) that my modem is not functioning to download large files. They are sending a new modem; in the meantime I paid for the Lion upgrade and cannot install it. Can I get the jump-drive sent to me?

My friend bought a new netgear router today. He plugged it in and was ready to get on the internet. The problem is, he can't get on the internet. He is able to connect to the router though. We also tried unplugging the router from the modem and plugging the ethernet straight into his Macbook Pro. From there the internet works perfectly. It is like the modem and the router are not connecting.
Is there any sort of "bridge" software that allows a terminal emulation program, say, Z-Term, to use Skype as a modem? It seems silly to pay for connections to BBS's when I've got SkypeOut, but I haven't been able to find a way to do this.
The internal hard drive on my early 2009 iMac is being replaced but I have to reinstall Snow Leopard myself.I did search in MRoogle and at Apple and cannot seem to find instructions on how to perform a clean Snow Leopard install on an iMac internal HD.
Can I do this? And if so how? Or do you think I should try and install Leopard on the existing Hd in the iMac? I still have these discs but have to get the SL applications install disc out of my drive (it's stuck and the iMac won't boot past the blue screen).
I am trying to install Aim Sniff which runs through terminal. I am slowly figuring out how to use terminal to run .pl files but the readme files says I need to install these dependencies.
Code: Requires Samba to perform SMB lookup features.
i have tried to re-install leopard into my macbook but it is just all a mess. i inserted leopard cd (original copy) into macbook to do a clean install to my new(to me) used macbook. the computer message after choosing language says "cannot install mac osx on this computer".
1. used disk utility to reapair disk...did no work 2. erased hd..still did not work. 3. made partition to install from external hd...now just made a total mess with computer. 4.i try to start computer from dvd drive with original leopard cd...still does not work. says cannot install mac osx to this computer...
i have macbook intel core duo 1 gig ram and enough memory.
i bought a new HD because i couldn't get my old HD to boot up. the old HD has the annoying flashing folder with a question mark. With the new HD, I was unable to install the OS X it said something like can't installed on this computer?
So we replaced our 15 inch macbook pro with a 500 gb hard drive.
We first tried to install snow leopard with no success as it would just load a blue screen then restart. Then we tried to install the original software that came on the mac this loaded up to where we could install it but it did not see a hard drive to install onto.
I'm trying to install programs, I get past the agreement page and as soon as i start putting my password in the spinny disc starts spinning... its looks like its installing, writes all the files and when it looks like its installed it says failed, contact manufacturer... I thought maybe it was just that program so I tried a different one and the same thing.
I have a MBP mid 2009 ( 3.06 Ghz - 8GB Ram). Through work I managed to obtain a Lenovo 256GB ( Toshiba ) SSD. When I replace the current 500GB drive with the SSD and boot with the snow leopard (10.6.3) disc, the drive is not recognized. I go into disk utility and the only drive is the DVD drive. I put the SSD in a pc laptop and booted with a Ubuntu Usb drive and it found the SSD first go, no issue, so the drive works.
Info on drive sticker is Lenovo PN: 45N8206 Lenovo FRU : 45N8207 SOLID STATE DRIVE THNS256GG8BAAA
Migration issues with MBA from welcome screen!!! Does not finish keeps searching for information. Apple tech support advised to load OS on again. MBA gets lost loading OS ??

I am new to mac, I have a macbook on 10.4.11 OS. I am unable to install any .pkg files, I tried to install a driver for wacom tablet ( I get the file from wacom website, apple site directed me to there), my laptop cant open the file, it gives no error code neither, it gives no respond no reaction to my click, double click and try to use open with "installer" move. I did check, in my utility dir there is a installer, but I dont know why it cant install/pkg files for me. I also checked crash reporter under log, there is no crash report log for installer. Same story happens to canon printer driver .pkg file too. I also lose the disks went with laptop so I may have difficult to reinstall the system.

Having some issues with MBP (slow performance, Oulook issues, etc.), attempting to resolve by repairing disk permissions and repairing disk. Disk Utility returns the following: Incorrect number of extended attributes(It should be 390460 instead of 390459) The volume Macintosh HD was found corrupt and needs to be repaired.Error: This disk needs to be repaired. ...then use Disk Utility to repair this disk. Disk Utility stopped verifying "Macintosh HD" This disk needs to be repaired. Start up your computer with another disk (such as your Mac OS X installation disc), and then use Disk Utility to repair this disk. So, I was unable to find my OE cd's. I purchased the SL Replacement Install DVD from apple and attempted to boot from it. Holding c or option during startup to attempt to boot from DVD were unfruitful. Computer hangs on Apple logo, allowed to sit for 20+ minutes with no progress. DVD spins up and can hear it, then stops. SuperDrive works fine when booted and can read DVD no problem. Reset PRAM during startup successfully, hold c or option and no luck - still hangs. What more can I do?
I have purchased Lion OS X, and the icon to install it was there in my applications. However, when I start it, it tells me that it will install, and the computer will restart. And when it restarts, the same old OS X 10.6.8 is there, no change.
Every time I try to update the software (when the Software Update" panel opens up), I can download the software but after downloading it says "Unable to install software" "An unexpected error occcured".....
I have plenty of HD space (100G available out of 320G), and I've tried repairing permissions, restarting etc but I still get the same error message.
I am trying to partition my Macbook to install Windows and am having the following error
"The disk cannot be partitioned because some files cannot be moved.
-Back up the disk and use Disk Utility to format it as a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume. Restore your information to the disk and try using Boot Camp Assistant again."
I have an aluminum macbook, from made around January 09. The issue is I need to repair the hdd using the osx install disc. The problem is that when I try to do so, boot using the disc, it just restarts to the hdd, it will not boot from the disc. I try holding c and I have tried setting the disc as the startup disc and it just goes in this never ending circle of restarting and restarting. I've never seen this before.
Insecure Startup Item disabled. "/Library/Startupitem/M-Audio Firmware Loader" has not been started because it does not have the proper security settings. I tried to install the program and it looks like it partially installed But I have no idea. I am pretty technologically illiterate.
I bought OSX 10.5 Leopard about 3weeks ago and still have not been able to install it onto my macbook. When I put the disc in for the first time I went through the standard procedure of clicking install OSX and then restart when it restarts however it goes to the Grey screen with the apple and the spinning loading symbol and just sits there forever.
I thought it was the disc so I took it back and ended up with the exact same problem. I then thought maybe I should just use my factory disc and wipe out everything on the hard drive. It gave me the same problem as trying to install Leopard.
Then I thought maybe it was my CD/DVD drive. Nope! It perfectly played a DVD and I was able to install Photoshop CS4 through the CD/DVD drive as well.
A Month later I am stock with a Macbook that won't budge. I am no longer under warranty so I am trying to see if there is a way that I can fix this problem first before taking it to the apple store where I know I will get charged...I love Apple but I must confess this task would be easier to complete on a PC.
I tried going to disk Utility and erasing the drive and that did not work either because it doesn't give me the ability to click the erase button when I click the Hard Drive. I got this computer from my friend's sister and apparently I am finding out that she had the computer's Hard Drive partitioned and running Windows XP on it on the TIGER OS.
I am not sure if this has anything to do with it but I think it may be a factor as to why the OS disc both Leopard and Tiger (factory disc) will not write to the hard drive. I'm thinking maybe there are some permissions or something not allowing it to write to the drive or something to that nature.
My idea is to wipe out the Hard Drive completely I don't need anything that is on it I already backed it all up. But how would I do this? Is there a program I can use? Can I take the hard drive out and take it to a computer repair store and they hook it up to something erases it all? or should I buy a $40 HD from eBay for the macbook?
So recently I purchased a new hd for my macbook (250gb). My cd-rom drive has an error on it and will not install mac os x all the way. I have been told to use a firewire and use another mac to install onto my computer. So I am using my room-mates MacBook Pro and his firewire to do this. So I plug both computers into eachother via firewire and I boot up my macbook in target mode. The target mode sign appears on my computer and my new hard drives icon appears on my room-mates desktop. I already formated my new hard drive. I am absolutely clueless on where to go from here. I tried just popping the os x tiger disc into my room-mates macbook pro but instead of installing it onto my macbook it tries to install it onto my roomates macbook pro. How do I go about installing os x onto my macbook?

I just bought the newest 13 inch MacBook Pro. I've read over all my specs and stuff it looks to be compatible with my macbook but every time I try to install it as a trial it just comes back with a message "unable to recognize" so does that mean its not compatible?
i can't seem to update my macbook with any of its updates. I try to install and restart the ones that need to restart, but it doesn't even move a inch when restarting. I've left it for like a day complete to see if the restart would move in the bar, but it just stays in the beginning.
