Thethering from my iPhone is not an option because T-mobile has blocked that. I am using a T-Mobile Huawei E173 3g USB modem. Apple should not be revising their own hardware specs in such a way to make recent peripherals inoperable. It's a Vodafone k3770 which is actually a Huawei as well. Maintaining updated Huawei K3770 software prevents crashes and maximizes hardware and system performance. Using outdated or corrupt Huawei K3770 drivers can cause system errors, crashes, and cause your computer or hardware to fail. Furthermore, installing the wrong Huawei drivers can make these problems even worse.

Hello, Bought the new 11' 2012 MacBook Air last week. Unfortunately I can't use my 3G dongle with it. (it's a T-Mobile branded Huawei E173) The Air just doesnt recognize it. Even not as disc image. When I plug it into my 15' 2009 MacBook Pro it just works fine.
Disc image with the pre-installed software pops up and it can be used to access the internet. It works fine on my 2008 Mac Mini as well and tested it on my dad's 2010 iMac as well. It just won't work in my Air. Thethering from my iPhone is not an option because T-mobile has blocked that. Mifi is too big for my pocket and I don't want to think about charging it all the time. So a dongle is the way to go for me. Thanks in advance.
This has been a very bad day for Apple. Just got the same problem with a brand new (less than 8 hours old) 11' Macbook Air.
I am using a T-Mobile Huawei E173 3g USB modem. This is a new modem that I had to buy when I upgraded my MB Pro to Lion. The old modem only had 32 bit drivers the new one is 64 bit. This modem still works on my MBP running Lion 10.7.4, it's getting a signal as I type this.
When plugging the modem into either USB ports on the Macbook Air nothing happens. Could this be an issue with the new Airbooks having USB 3 and not USB 2 ports? With the fiasco of the Mountain Lion upgrade today, Apple really need to get their act together. Doubly annoying is that T-Mobiles UK support forums are returning a Proxy Server error tonight so can't even get their side of the story.
Just spent 1 hour and 2 mns on the phone to Apple tech support. Was bumped up to a senior technician as Apple were not aware of the issue. Went through a series of diagnostic tests but there are no clues to what is going wrong. The USB 3 ports should not be supplying less power than previous Mac's USB 2's as they are designed to work to the USB specified guidelines. This has now been bumped up further and I've been told that Apple will want at least 24 hours to look into this.
I am really pleased that Apple are taking this so seriously and very impressed with the level of customer services provided on this occasion. I'm also going to tak to T-Mobile to see if they have a solution and whatever I find will be send back to Apple. In the mean time going to use a Zoom mobile router so I can connect when out and about.
More news when I get it. Ok, I solved my problem. It cost me some money but I can use a dongle in my Air now. After reading on another forum how someone else solved this I went the following road: I walked into a Vodafone store and bought the dongle they offer with their dataplan. It's a Vodafone k3770 which is actually a Huawei as well.
It has no simlock so it works with my T-Mobile sim. It got recognized immediately by the Air as a drive station and offered the Vodafone software (which cannot be installed on OS X 10.8) But the stick is being recognized as a modem in the network settings of OS X itself. The only thing I did is enter the phone number of T-Mobile.99# and I could connect! If you tick a box there to have to modem status displayed in the menu bar you can just connect by clicking the icon in the OS X menu bar.
Much better than the crappy software that comes with these dongles. I made a deal with the Vodafone salesman: if it doesn't work, money back. But it works. But note: in different countries it may be simlocked. I live in The Netherlands and over here it's not locked. It cost me € 60,- but it's worth it because I can't work otherwise. More details: I have a MBP 2011 and an iMac 2011.
The later has Mountain Lion. The Huawei modem works fine in both of these machines. In the MBA 2012 I just bought and installed Mountain Lion, the modem doesn't even show up at all. No sign of anything related to a device connect via USB. Given that the iMac is using Mountain Lion too, it's a hardware/firmware issue. I tried my WD Passport Essential hard drive, which is connected via USB, and it worked fine. I need to work and it's really frustrating to not be able to use my 3G modem.
