Enough to drive you batsh*t.

3 support will tell you to download an OS X build from somewhere on their site - don't use the code on the USB stick.

http://ask3.three.co.uk/mbbdocs/drivers/3Connect_ZTEMF627_Mac_r66_Installer.zip

Install, then run the 3Connect Setup assistant - it'll fail.

Check in system.log and you will see something like:

MobileManager Setup Assistant[8969]: TPaneConfig.m:448 Error copying tool to app folder type: app support
MobileManager Setup Assistant[8969]: TPaneConfig.m:462 Error copying tool to app folder type: temp items
MobileManager Setup Assistant[8969]: TPaneConfig.m:495 Exception thrown, err=5370
MobileManager Setup Assistant[8969]: TPaneConfig.m:356 Exception thrown, err=5370
MobileManager Setup Assistant[8969]: TPaneConfig.m:368 Error occured during config in MiniConfig: 5370

Solved.

cd /Applications/3Connect/3Connect Setup Assistant.app/Contents/MacOS

sudo MobileManager\ Setup\ Assistant

up will pop the app again, this time it will not error and will continue through and setup the necessary bits to run 3Connect.

Ah, 3Connect, more shoddy work - in this case the logging spam!

For the levels see here: http://blog.mobilebroadbanduser.eu/post/3Connect-logging-A-solution-for-those-of-us-with-computer-skills-for-Mac.aspx and thanks to Christer Østergaard for posting in the first place!

To solve this you edit the plist
(I used http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/development_tools/plisteditpro.html) and turn down the debugging level of 3connect within :
/Applications/3Connect/3Connect.app/Contents/Resources/preferences.plist

enjoy :)

Thanx a lot!

Hi there,
you saved me a lot of time as I spent almost 3 hours chatting with technical support in Finland, and only after that found your article. The only thing I wanted to add is this line: sudo "/Applications/Elisa/Mobiililaajakaista opastettu asennus.app/Contents/MacOS/MobileManager Setup Assistant"
- in my case I have local (Finnish) operator, but the whole line should be in brackets as you define the whole path not only to the .app but to the executable.
And again: THANX MATE! YOU MADE MY DAY.

3 USB on E122

Thanks for this - v useful stuff. Since I have an E122 I followed the links on three's support page for OSX and downloaded the recommended driver for OSX 10.6 (Leopard). All went well until the software hung on inspecting the SIM. So I went back to square one and installed again from the USB and completed using sudo as you describe (I used "sudo ./Mobile" and then tab-completed to be sure) and hey-presto a working connection! Good stuff.
