Internet Tethering application missing

I'm delighted with my new iPhone 3GS - a little surprised that it's only 802.11b/g not 802.11n, but I suppose that's to do with battery life.
The main problem, though, is that the Internet Tethering application is missing. Is this to do with my service provider (Vodacom in South Africa)?
Is there somewhere that I can download it? It doesn't seem to be on the iTunes site.

Hallo to everybody. I'm experiencing the same problem. Yesterday morning i received a new iphone 3gs bought from apple store on the web. I connected it to Itunes. It said everything is ok, enjoy. But when i went to settings/network i was supposed to find internet tethering but sadly, very sadly, there was nothing. My carrier does allow internet tethering as i was used to do it with samsung omnia. I bought iphone 3gs expecially for that, and bluetooth which also doesnt' work, but i'm not having nothing.
Does anybody can help me......
I got it yesterday and i just connected it to itunes. I don't think i made something wrong.

  • Internet security applications for XP - which one?

    I'm about to do boot camp and add XP. Once I've turn the machine into a windows PC I'll need to have some anti-virus, firewall and all that. Don't trust XP's own offering.
    Which is the most compatible internet security application when using Boot Camp and/or VMware Fusion? Has anyone got an 'avoid this' recommendation?
    Thanks for any ideas.

    For 10 yrs I've said, "avoid Norton" but I have to admit that Norton Internet Security 2008 really is good, a complete ground-up rewrite and works very well and I'm not even aware it is there unless I want to. Working.
    AVG Suite was annoying, in your face, and why I had to find a replacement. It just bogs system down and always asking or telling you and wants to put a notification up (which goes away after 30 seconds).

    A clarification on the terminology: the word "malware" is short for

    malware such as viruses, worms, trojans, etc.
    What AV applications usually don't detect is "non-viral" malware, and the

  • IPhone OS 3.0 - internet tethering and Cisco VPN Client

    Hello,
    The latest OS for the iPhone allows users to tether their iPhone to a Mac/PC so that the user can browse the internet through the carriers mobile 3G network.
    I can confirm that internet tethering works on my Macbook Pro, but the following error is displayed when i load the CiscoVPN Client (version 4.9.01 (0100))
    "Error 51: Unable to communicate with the VPN subsystem.
    Please make sure that you have at least one network interface that is cuurently active and has an ip address and start this application again."
    Does this mean that the Cisco VPN client cannot see the internet connection supplied by the iPhone even though i can browse the internet while this error is being displayed??
    Regards,
    Eddie S

    Same problem here and I'm wondering the same. I also noticed that the same error comes also when my ethernet connection and iPhone tethering are active at the same time. Then there really should be a connection.
    Despite that, I have the same problem and using bluetooth tethering doesn't solve this. Still the same error even though Internet connection works otherwise fine.
    Any suggestions? Have Cisco tested this?
    I'm using MacBook Pro 13" OS X 10.5.8, iPhone 3GS 3.0.1 with official finnish carrier Sonera, Cisco Systems VPN Client 4.9.01 (0100)

  • Adding apn for Internet tethering, cannot save the data

    Hi I'm trying to use my ipad4 with wifi and cellular as a wireless modem, laptop runs a late version of Xp. It will recognise the wireless connection, but with limited connectivity. Do I need to add the apn for Internet tethering or not? I know what it should be for my net work provider, but I cannot seem to be able to save the data in the settings section. As soon as I navigate away from the page the data inputted is lost.

    Do you have Excel installed on the other computer?
    I also suggest that you read this page : Including Report Generation VIs in Stand-Alone Applications (Report Generation Toolkit)

  • Possible Internet Tethering/Battery Life Issue

    When either Cellular Data is turned Off, or Airplane Mode is turned On, Internet Tethering (Settings>General>Network) appears to have some process that runs continually in the background (evident by continuously spinning wheel next to the option). The running process has a demonstratively negative impact on battery life (1/3 reduction in ~ 30 mins). The Apple Genius at my local Apple Store and I verified the issue on numerous iPhone 4s that were on display. Turning Cellular Data On and ensuring the phone is not in Airplane Mode stops the activity. But obviously that defeats the purpose of having those options.
    So if you are experiencing poor battery life, this might be your issue.

    Could this be causing the unexplained usage and data transfer? I have been trying to find what is causing this. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2603718&tstart=0

  • "Internet Tethering" won't stop searching when set to "Airplane Mode"

    I recently went abroad to Brazil and I set up my iPhone in Airplane mode, I notice that "INTERNET TETHERING" was constantly "SEARCHING" and in turn shortening my iphone's battery life.
    I went to the Apple store and show them an I was told " NO it won't use up your battery life..." I know my phone and when I had it on version 3 I didn't have this issue.

    Hey,
    > Do you run into the issue in Photoshop it the case when you use <CMD>+< - > ?
    No, works fine. Although its not the best alternative, because my method allows to "specify" the zooming region (due to the mouse position)
    > Did you try to reset the zoom tool (Right-click on the magnifier icon on the option bar?)
    I did do a reset, but it didn't influence the "bad" behavior.
    > Do you have a key repeater function activated in the OS (accessibility?)?
    None that I know of. Couldn't find any. But if so, shouldn't it affect the zooming in as well (which isn't the case)?
    > If you never use the animated zoom, you can disable it in Photoshop>preferences>general>animated zoom.
    I tried both: enabled it causes the mentioned "error" behavior. Disabled the zoom out stops but its remarkably unresponsive: Once I use the key combination and click the left-mouse-btn it takes seconds before the zoom out happes; the process _feels_ quite long.

  • How to use Z10 as Wifi USB Adapter (NOT internet tethering)

    Hi,
    I would like to know if there is a way to use my Z10 as a USB dongle to receive wifi signal from my router.
    I tried to disable the Data Service first and hoping it will let me choose my home wifi, but it did not work. It always asks to turn on the Data Service then to do a normal Internet Tethering (through my 4G).
    I know some Android phones can do this, but I couldn't find an app or how to do this on my Z10 yet.
    Could anyone advise?
    Thanks.

    If you have the WiFi turned ON on your Z10 and the z10 is connected to your laptop, then the laptop will have access to the internet via Z10 WiFi connection. Yes, the laptop will receive the signals from your WiFi router thru your Z10. 
     If you turn OFF WiFi on your Z10, then your laptop will have access to the internet via your data connection provided by your network.  

  • CRM Survey in B2C Internet Sales Application

    We have CRM 2007 and are live with B2C Internet Sales Application (ISA). Now we want to make Customer Surveys accessible via B2C ISA.
    For security reasons, we do not want our B2C Internet Customers to have access to the CRM system. Therefore the BSP option is ruled out. I have seen some blogs on how to enhance security for BSP option but that is also not approved in our organization so BSP option is totally ruled out.
    SAP help documenation mentions following:
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_crm70/helpdata/en/ee/eaf995082649c6a594511e1f48672d/frameset.htm
    Internet Scenarios
    Since Internet users cannot be allowed access to the CRM system for security reasons, surveys have to be made accessible in a different way. You can do this by downloading the required HTML survey to your PC. From here, you can:
    Copy the HTML survey into any Web site
    Send the HTML survey attached to an e-mail
    Internet Scenarios
    In Internet scenarios, results can be returned by the following methods:
    Mailto
    In this case, a mail client, for example, Microsoft Outlook, needs to be set up in advance on the client machine. Survey results are sent to a CRM Server Mail User, that is, a u201Cmachineu201D user. From here, the results are routed to the CRM system for further processing.
    http(s)
    Note
    The http(s) case is recommended, because the user does not have to have a personal e-mail account. Here, the survey results are first sent to a Survey Mailer. The Survey Mailer receives the http request and then mails the results to the CRM Server Mail User, where they can be processed. The Survey Mailer needs to be set up by the administrator at the customer.
    For presenting the Survey on ISA, we would like to take the option of Copy the HTML survey into any Web site as suggested in SAP help and would like to get back the results as per SAP help recommendation of https(s) above.
    We need guidance on follwing
    1. How to download and then copy the HTML surveys into any website (ISA)
    2. Detailed steps that are needed for gettting back the survey results.
    By the way...we do understand the survey functionality and have been successful in testing the BSP option so we are not looking for general information.
    Thanks

    Hello Vijay,
    Could you please share the information on solution steps used as per the requirement??

  • Using iPhone 3GS Internet Tethering

    Before I change my data plan I want to be sure this works....I have purchased a Acer Iconia A500 Tablet and was wondering if using Internet Tethering on my iPhone 3GS will work. The Acer support site says you can use a smartphone if it is capable of creating a wireless hotspot.  

    Yes.

  • When do you need Internet Tethering rather than Blackberry Bridge?

    I've been using my new Playbook Bridged to my Bold 9700 since I got it. Since I've been able to get to every site I wanted to get to on the browser all of this time using the Bridge, I didn't even know about Tethering.
    Today I was attempting to setup some new email addresses to the Playbook, and it said that it couldn't do it till I enabled the Internet Tethering option. The tethering would occur to the same Bold 9700 anyways that it is currently Bridged to. So what are the times that Tethering is required rather than the Bridge?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Bridge mode works as an extension of the phone. Browsing with tether gives greater speed and better stability especially with sites that stream or load with a lot of data.
    Tethering uses the phone as a mobile modem rather than a pass through data device. When bridged the tablet is read back as if it is a phone rather than a stand alone tablet computer type device. In the bridge mode some sites may appear as if for a mobile phone rather than for a tablet or computer.
    My preference is to use tethering whem web browsing. I use the bridge mode mainly for email, schedules, and PDA type functions.

  • NO USB Only Internet Tethering after upgrade to OS4?

    I have discovered that I can no longer do internet tethering using the USB only tethering connection since I upgraded to OS4. This used to work perfectly well up until then as I used it quite extensively while travelling. When using the USB Internet Tethering only the message I get in the Network Preferences is that the iPhone USB is not connected or the device is not responding!
    Very annoying and surprising that such a defect got through the QA cycle!

    1) any recommended solutions?
    If you have AppleCare, you have free support. It might be a good idea to check with the factory to get the latest information.
    2) how can i get the previous firmware back?
    Open AirPort Utility - Click Manual Setup
    Click on the word "Version" about 3 lines down
    A window will open to display available firmware
    Click OK, then click Continue
    Some users are reporting that this option is not available, so I cannot tell you in advance whether this will work for you.
