I have Vodafone K4201-Z USB dongle. I updated my operating system to OS X Yosemite and since then Vodafone Mobile Broadband crashes on load. At first it asked me to download Java Runtime Environment (v. 8), which I did, but it still wouldn't work. Then I got in touch with Vodafone customer services. The guy reassured that downloading the latest software (v. 4.10.04.00) from busines.vodafone.com would fix the issue. I did that - it still crashes. The 'ReadMe' doesn't list OS X Yosemite as supported, so that would explain why it doesn't work. It's quite surprising that a company as big as Vodafone hasn't picked up the issue while OS X Yosemite was in testing for the last few months. So now I have nice and shiny operating system and a useless dongle packed with overpriced data that I can't access.
Do any of your mobile broadband devices work with Mac OS X Yosemite?
Want to know if I can get a new device or whether I'm going to have to go elsewhere to get mobile broadband. Waiting for some unknown date isn't going to be acceptable.
I may have missed your comment before, but could you please describe what procedure you followed to get the dongle to work without the (useless) Voda software?
I recently purchased mobile broadband from vodafone. It wasn't a dongle that you plug into the usb port in computer but rather sits seperately and makes a mobile hotspot that any laptop including macbook pro running yosemite picks us. No software required.
Surely this would be a solution to the issue in this thread and perhaps a free change of equipment could be offered by vodafone.
