Ad-hoc network PC & iPhone to update apps from PC

I have several apps that also have laptop programs that can share info. Unfortunately, these can't be shared with the cable and need to have a network connection.
I'm not great technically on the computer or understanding computerese. My IT guy at work got the computer to computer network connection to work once before I upgraded to 3GS & software 4.0 but I can't keep having him work on it since I don't pay him
The only internet I have is an AT&T connect card. My laptop can create an ad-hoc computer to computer connection (I guess it has an internal wifi something or other). However, I can't get any of the programs to recognize the connection. I created the computer to computer connection, turned on the WiFi setting & it shows that it is connected on the phone with the WiFi icon. However, the programs on my laptop aren't recognizing them. The companies say it is the connection (which I tend to agree with since my IT guy got it working once...although it took him about an hour).
Any thoughts on how to get this to work? I've read a bunch but don't understand most of it because it's too technical and the ones that weren't technical I've already followed & it didn't work!! It's highly frustrating and a waste of time/money since I can't use the apps I bought to keep the information synced up with the laptop programs.
Please please help or direct me in the right direction!!!

How do I have to configure the USB ethernet/wi-fi stick settings? I guess, I somehow have to get them in the same network/"IP address area", don't I? I just don't know enough about these things.
No. You have to manually configure the interface in a DIFFERENT subnet. For most purposes use a private class address range such as 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x
It doesn't make too much difference which address you use as long as it is not the same as the 3G WAN link.
You'll also need to set the interface to 'Create Network'. This will create a wireless network that the iPhone can connect to.
Once you have configured the interface, use System Preferences -> Sharing to share the 3G connection with the USB Wi-Fi.

    Hi all,

  • Still trying to seperate hubby's iPhone contacts and apps from mine!

    Still trying to seperate hubby's iPhone contacts and apps from mine! Read all the previous messages, did everything suggested, have two entirely different accounts, two names, two passwords, etc.
    Can't use two different computers to sync because he's not ... patient enough to handle it. So It's my job to do both his and mine.
    Would it work to sync his to the cloud and mine to my computer? Would that seperate them? Divorce is a possibility. Any other suggestions are welcome. calls to the Geniuses have gone unanswered.

    Restore your iPhone with the backup for your iPhone or as new.

  • Cannot install on iPhone 5 several Apps from the store, BUY/FREE blue button disappeared

    Cannot install on iPhone 5 several Apps from the store, BUY/FREE blue button disappeared.
    Already tried to restore to factory settings, no luck. Same Apps on another iphone can be installed without problems.
    Any idea what is causing it?

    Try this, press and hold both the home and power buttons 10-15 seconds till the Apple logo appears. Release both buttons. Wait 15-20 seconds till your iPad starts on it's own. If they don't download at least the timer should stop.

    Try rebooting your ipad by pressing and holding both the home and sleep/wake buttons at the same time until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
    Go to settings/itunes and app stores, tap on apple id and sign out. Reboot the ipad and the sign back in the same way.

  • Someone stole my iPhone I have find my iPhone app but it's not working how can I add my iPhone to d app from my iPad???

    Someone stole my iPhone I have find my iPhone app but it's not working how can I add my iPhone to d app from my iPad???

    Having the app is irrelevant.
    The ONLY thing that matters is whether "Find My iPhone" was enabled on the missing device before it was lost/stolen.  If it was not enabled, there is nothing that can be done.

  • How do I remove already updated apps from the update area?

    How do I remove already updated apps from the update area?

    From ; Terence ONeill - UK
    KILLING ADOBE PHOTO DOWNLOADER AND TRAY ICON.
    Easy ! I use Comodo Pro Firewall.
    1) Click on DEFENSE box.
    2) Click on "View Active Process List"
    3) Look down the list of processes. Find APDPROXY.EXE.
    4) Click it, then click "Terminate and Quarantine"
    5) ALL DONE ! No more icon in tray and the program is killed.
    APDPROXY - This is lurking about, you can find it on SEARCH from the START button. BUT, you cannot delete it or move it and MSCONFIG does not work. You can disable it as many times as you like - it will keep coming back.
    SOLUTION ! Download CCleaner, it is a great little program and free.
    Using this you can click on TOOLS, then STARTUP. A list of programs are shown which are enabled at STARTUP. Disabling does not work, just click on APDPROXY and click DELETE. It`s GONE !
    All over in a flash - no more ADOBE PHOTO DOWNLOADER.

  • How do you clear updated apps from the App Store

    How can you clear updated apps from the list in App Store?

    What do you mean by "clear"?
    Have a look here: iOS 8: App Store Updates Do Not Clear
    If it is the badge count that does not fit, it might be that iTunes is the cause (12.0.1.26).

  • Create a iPhone 5 iOs app from a Digital Publishing Suite folio

    I had the single DPS edition that I upgrade to Enterprise in order to make iPhone iOs app from InDesign Folio. I did a iPad single App before with the DPS single edition now I want iPhone
    but I can not manage to create a iPhone 5 iOs app from a Digital Publishing Suite from a folio made on Adobe inDesign CS6 with iPhone 5 Resolution 1 136 x 640 pixels.
    Question :
    is this possible and how to do it (i tried so many ways)
    if not i just want to understand what is it really possible to do with DPS on iPhone ...

    You use App Builder to create an application with both iPad and iPhone checked on the first page. Then you publish your two folios by going to http://digitalpublishing.acrobat.com/. The viewer will automatically show the right size one in the library for each device.
    It is not possible to have only one folio for each format that launches directly. The only way to get content onto an iPhone with DPS is to do a multi-issue ("multiple publication") application.
