Question about personal hotspot. I know I can share GSM / 3G but I would like to know if my iPhone is connected to a wifi can I also share that wifi collection, through personal hotspot?

Question about personal hotspot. I know I can share GSM / 3G but I would like to know if my iPhone is connected to a wifi can I also share that wifi collection, through personal hotspot? And if so can it be through wifi or does it have to be Bluetooth or USB?
Sounds like an odd question but my phone will connect to BT Openzone so I want to share that with my iPad via personal hotspot. I could use 3G but then it comes off my data allowance and I don't want to have to buy a separate SIM for my iPad if I can avoid it. I can swap my sim from my phone, but that's a pain!
Thanks
Luke

No, unfortunately Personal Hotspot will only use your 3G plan.

    I'm sorry to learn that you are not able to make/receive calls chelseabee! (ticket number removed) results indicate that there is no issues with the network or account provisioning. Since you have already done a hard reset http://vz.to/1gBkSJc (as per your post), I recommend exploring replacement options. If your phone is within the one year manufacturers' warranty we can provide a Certified Like New replacement http://vz.to/uyYF0o as long as no physical/liquid damage exist. If your phone has sustained physical/water damage and you have insurance, you can submit a claim to the insurance company online at this link http://bit.ly/07CrqPK

  • I am running OS X 10.5.8 and don't see an iCloud icon in my system preferences.  I do see a Mobileme icon but I would like to have all my mac devices on iCloud.  How can I get iCloud on my desktop?

    I am running OS X 10.5.8 and don't see an iCloud icon in my system preferences.  I do see a Mobileme icon but I would like to have all my mac devices on iCloud.  How can I get iCloud on my desktop?

    iCloud requires 10.7.2 or later. See the following about how to upgrade:
    Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
    You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
               terms apply.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
    Upgrading to Mountain Lion
    To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
    Are my applications compatible?
             See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.

    Probably not covered but only Apple can tell you after they look at it.

  • I have reached out  to this community as my Iphone display gone black and got the solution to keep home and power button pressed. It worked but I would like to know why it went black

    I have reached out  to this community as my Iphone display gone black and got the solution to keep home and power button pressed. It worked but I would like to know
    1. Why it went black and is there a permanent fix for this
    2.Will the IOS gets automatically updated as I feel the IOS was 5 when I got the phone in 2012 december
    3.Do you suggest 7.1 for Iphone 4

    1. There is no way of knowing. These things happen.
    2. The iOS only gets updated when you want it to be.
    3. You should always update to the latest iOS your phone will support. Apple do not write the updates to make your experience worse.

    Yeah, and it didn't work.
    I had problems when I updated to iOS 5 (lost all my apps - a few of my friends had the same problem) and when there was an update to iOS 4 (camera wouldn't work). The iOS 5 issue was sorted by backup (but I lost the app data) but for the iOS 4 issue I had to return my iPod to get a new one.

  • HT1751 I have done the above steps but I would like to know if everytime I sync will it create a backup on my external harddrive

    I have windows 7 64 bit and followed the steps in the article.  What I would like to know is if I was to sync my ipad would the backup file be created on the external harddrive automatically or do I have do these steps at least once a week.
    Everytime one syncs the ipad it creates a backup in the following directory
    c\users\owner\appdata\roaming\apple computer\backup
    is there anyway I can change this and have it automatically backup everytime I sync the ipad.
    thanks

    I never lost any media mind you just the library file that tell iTunes where everything lives.
    On this point, you can keep a copy of of the "Itunes Music Library.xml" file, which contains the itunes metadata for your music library (songs & playlists).
    Obviously, you would still need the files themselves for this to be of any worth, but if you ever find yourself in the same situation you can use the .xml file to recreate iTunes as it was. Keep in mind that you must import the .xml file into iTunes for this to work, you cannot simply move it via the finder. 

  • Elementary question but i would like to know

    Yeah i know this will be a weird question but, when you get an iBook and it says it comes with wireless internet (airport express or something) and bluetooth that means that like it has integrated or built in wireless internet already and i don't have to get a little wireless internet card, right? i know it sounds really dumb but i want to get an iBook before i get out of high school and i would like to have wireless internet.
    thanks,
    newby

    Hi NewbyFairy,
    Welcome to the Discussions.
    Yes, iBooks have AirPort Extreme (a wireless card) and Bluetooth builtin. You can connect to any 802.11b/g standard wireless network right out of the box. All you'll need at your home is a broadband connection and a wireless router.

  • I am wanting to buy and Ipad.. but I would like to know the difference between having wifi and a simcard..if someone could explain this to me.. and the benefits of both I would appreciate it.

    Good Morning:
    I have been looking at the Ipads for a while now.  I have some concerns though.  First, I am NOT a techy of any kind!!  So my question is;  What is the difference between wifi and a simcard(?)   What I understand about wifi is...if you are in an area with free internet.. you can excess it.  If not, then you can't.  What is a simcard?  Is this what you would use like a turbo stick..such as internet on the go... or is this a data plan for the Ipad, like I have for my phone?  If so, I take it that it would mean a monthly bill of what or however I set it up...  Please be kind with your responces.. I am a older person who wants a new gadget.   
    Thank you

    Hi, Sarah,
    You don't really compare a SIM card directly with WiFi. What a SIM card indicates is that a device is designed to connect to cellphone service, in the case of an iPad a data-only service for connection to the Internet. The SIM card works with a technology called GSM (don't worry about what that means); the SIM card is just how the iPad is identified to the cell carrier (in the US, that would be AT&T).
    Your choices of connecting an iPad to the Internet are therefore:
    WiFi - wireless network connection which uses a device referred to as a "hotspot" or "access point" (and sometimes a "wireless router") with an Internet service provided by some other company. You may have this at home, with your own WiFi router and Internet service, or it may be found by some other location, such as a coffee shop. Cost of WiFi at home would only be the cost of the router and the fee you pay to your Internet provider. Other locations may or many not involve a cost. The advantage of a WiFi connection is speed (compared to a cellular data service) and cost (no monthly fee other than your Internet provider).  The disadvantage is that you have to be in range of a WiFi service; that range is usually on the order of 100 feet or so.
    Cellular - this is a service provide by a cellphone carrier. This allows you to have your iPad connected to the Internet wherever the carrier offers service, which may be in buildings, parks, while driving, etc. just as with a cellphone. You pay a monthly fee to the cell carrier for this service. The advange is of course that it's available in many places. The primary disadvantages are the monthly cost and slower speed in the connection to the Internet.
    You can have both with an iPad if you purchase your iPad with both systems included; iPads are sold WiFi-only or WiFi+3G ("3G" refers to being capable of connecting to a cell network) You are not obligated to sign up with a cell carrier if you buy the iPad with that technology; most carriers allow you to sign up month-by-month, and in some countries the carrier has a pay-as-you-go service. If you tell us what country you're in, someone can tell you more about the available cell plans, if you're interested.
    I hope this helps. Feel free to post back if you need further clarification or have additional questions.
    Regards.

  • Firefox wants to add something to my software, but I would like to know what it is and why I should download it.

    I didn't think to make a copy of the message I got, and now it's not coming up. It just showed up on my screen twice when I opened Firefox today (10/28). So, for now at least, I don't have the specifics, but let me make this more general: I'd like to know what I'm getting any time I get a message from Firefox that there is something to add on to the software. I have only recently been using Firefox, and have gotten update messages several times.

    By the way, Help > Troubleshooting Information opens a new tab.
    Could you check whether you have the 16.0.2 update? You can look at Help > About Firefox for that.
    If you get other messages, they could be generated by add-ons or web pages. It's good to be cautious about clicking!

  • I have a few failed downloads on my iPod that I have bought and paid for. I don't care about the money but I would like to know how to delete them? Is there a way I can do it on my iPod without using a computer?

    I have a few failed downloads in the 'downloads' section on iTunes. It won't let me download any other video and it keeps asking me to 'tap to retry' I don't really care about the money lost but can anyone tell me if I can delete them from my iPod? Thanks x

    Have you tried resetting your iPod:
    Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • Is there a way to find exactly when a certain web page was visited? I know if I go to Tools/Page Info, I can see how many times that page was visited, but I would like to know if I can find the exact time and date. Thank you.

    I am using Firefox version 3.6.13

    You can find the last time a web page was visited by using the Library.
    In the History menu select "Show All History" to open the Library. You can use the Library to view the history, and by default it will show the last date & time the site was visited. If the Visit Date column is not visible, within the Library select Views, then Show Columns, then Visit date to display that column.
