USB tethering a Samsung Vibrant with MAC OS X and T-Mobile

Sunday, January 30th, 2011

I would suggest you get an unlimited data plan with T-mobile.

*** Note: You have to have USB debugging enabled to get MacOS X to prompt setting up the vibrant as a USB modem. Not having this enabled didn’t work.***

1. Connect your Vibrant to your Mac with the USB cable.

2. MacOS should prompt you saying that there is a device connected and not set up. If it does not, click on the Apple Menu, select system preferences. Select the Network pane.

3. The device should have been named as SAMSUNG_Android. Select it.

4. Start with the advanced options. Click the button that says ‘Advanced.’

5. Under the Modem tab, use these options:

Model: Samsung

Model: GPRS (GSM/3G)

APN: epc.tmobile.com

CID: 1

6. Leave the DNS, WINS, and Proxies tabs alone

7. Under the PPP tab, ‘TCP Compression’ has to be checked.

8. Click ‘OK’ and return to the Network Pane.

9. I used these settings for the SAMSUNG_Android configuration.

Telephone Number: *99#

Account Name: username

Password: password

How do I uninstall Office 2008 in MAC OS X

Saturday, January 8th, 2011

In Mac OS X, how do I uninstall Microsoft Office?

Note: Currently, the Remove Office tool is not available for Office 2011.

To remove Microsoft Office from your Mac OS X computer, use the Remove Office tool provided by Microsoft.

Note: The Remove Office tools will not delete documents you have created with Office programs unless they are located in the application folders for Microsoft Office. If you have documents you want to keep in any of the application folders, move them to a different folder before using the tool.

  1. To find the Remove Office tools, open the Microsoft Office 2008 folder or the Microsoft Office 2004 folder, and then open the Additional Tools folder.

  2. For instructions, read the Read Me file in the Remove Office folder.
  3. When you run Remove Office, it will allow you to remove installations of Microsoft Office 98 through 2008 as well as related preferences and system files. Once you have run the program, it places the removed Office components in the Trash.
