  • Why my iPhone 3GS can't share internet with another iPod, iPhone or iPad with iOS 6.x?

    Hi.
    I am from Mexico, sorry from my 'english'.
    I have an iPhone 3GS with iOS 6.1.3, i can share internet with USB and Bluetooth.
    It's ok, but when want share, my iPhone 4S with iOS 6.1.3 doesn't detect the 3GS, and vice versa.
    When i try connect with Bluetooth with a iPod Touch Fourth Generation with iOS 6.1.5, i can't too, they doesn't detect too.
    When i try connect with Bluetooth with a iPod Touch Fifth Generation with iOS 7.0.4, it works!!
    When i try connect with Bluetooth with a iPod Touch Third Generation with iOS 5.1.1, it works!!
    ¿What can i do? I can't connect with Bluetooth with whatever terminal with iOS 6.x.x

    Your best bet is to switch phones with your carrier and get your 4S on the data account.
    Otherwise, try resoring the iOS in your iPhone 3GS via iTunes.

  • Can't share internet connection through powerbook's airport

    Hi everyone,
    I have always shared my internet connection from my built-in ethernet through my computer's airport. I just moved and the cable tech guy came and hooked up the internet and it won't work any more. I watched him and I don't think he changed any settings, but now when I go to System Preferences> Sharing > Internet, on the "To computers using" box there is no airport option listed.
    See this screenshot for a better understanding:

    Any ideas on why this has disappeared?
    Thanks,
    Isaac

    Hi Keith
    Yes I see where you are coming from.
    Perhaps the OP is mistaken because what has occurred to me is that the 'cable tech guy' (possibly) configured the aiport connection for internet connectivity. This would explain why internet sharing is available only via the other remaining ports; namely ethernet and firewire.

  • IMac can not share internet with new MBP

    I just purchased a 13" MBP(10.5.7)and wanted to update software, register, etc. I'm trying to share the internet from my G5 iMac(10.5.7). With airport turned on,I've turned on internet sharing from ethernet to airport on the imac but the Radar icon does not display the "arrow" to show that the iMac is acting like a base station. The firewall setting in the security pref. is set to allow all incoming connections. i keep trying different combinations of settings but the only change is a light gray "monitor" icon on the airport radar in the tool bar. ( and I can't seem to repeat that)The new MBP sees the iMac in the airport drop down menue but does not connect, it says it needs a password but none was established on the imac. When opening safari is says not connected to internet. I've read many post regarding sharing but I must admit I'm confused. I thought this was supposed to be simple.
    Thanks for any responses

    I have done those things. I tried the same with an older ibook and three clicks and the airport icon showed an arrow (signaling it now is a base station) no problem but not on either of the leopard machines. is there a problem with sharing using leopard?
    When I set the imac to share the ethernet connection and choose by airport the red Button changes to green. the preference window says "sharing your ethernet connection" but no change at the icon on the upper right menu bar. (I've always thought it changes to an arrow over the "radar" icon) if I close the sharing window and then reopen it or turn the airport on/off the internet sharing box becomes unchecked and sharing is turned off. I can't seem to get the radar icon to change and the sharing settings to stay "set".

  • Can't share internet with iPhone4 via Airport with MacBook Pro on Ethernet

    I'm in Iraq being abused by a criminal ISP offering 256K (yes, kilobytes per second!) connectivity via a cat IV ethernet cable to my MacBook Pro (OS X 10.5.9). I have a first-gen iPhone4 (16G, version 4.2.1), it will not connect to the internet via airport to my MacBook.  I'm getting a good wi-fi symbol on my iPhone, the Airport is correctly finding my MacBook's network, and it properly demands/accepts my WEP password.  But I cannot get mail, go on line or use any apps. 
    Under the DHCP tab on my MacBook's network on the iPhone's Settings/Wi-Fi page...I have a good IP Address and Subnet Mask.  Previously I've also had numbers show up on the Router and DNS lines as well...but they are now blank.  I have never had numbers on the Search Domains or Client ID lines.
    Can anyone tell me what's missing to get my internet sharing working?
    Thanks!

    OK, on your iPhone you have four fields that need to completed for any type of WiFi networking to operate.  The fields are (in order) the IP address of your device, the subnet mask for your network, the "router" IP address, and finally the DNS addresses.
    I'm not sure what these numbers look like on an ad hoc network, but a typical router based network would look like: 
    Device IP:  192.168.1.x with x being between 2 and 255
    Subnet mask:  255.255.255.0
    "Router IP":  192.168.1.1
    DNS:  usually a pair of IP address separated by a comma.  Sometimes this is supplied by the network you are conneccted to, other times you specify an address (like OpenDNS or Google's DNS service)
    If your phone has an IP address of 169.x.x.x, it means that your ad hoc network is not supplying it with an IP address.  Make sure that the DHCP box is checked (the ad hoc network will assign an IP address) or manually assign IP address.
    To be honest with you, I'd go out and buy a basic N router (about $40 US), plug it in to your ethernet connection, and connect your devices to that.  You get far better security as the router has a firewall and you can use WPA2-AES encryption on the wireless side - and it is easier to set up.

  • Can't share internet (via ethernet) with 2 Mac Pros

    I've got 2 Mac Pros, but only one cable from my cable modem. (I'm aware I could get a router, but I don't want to do that yet.) So I've got ethernet going from cable modem to Mac Pro 1 (MP1) into its ethernet 1 port and it works perfectly.
    Now I'd like to use MP1's ethernet 2 port to share internet with MP2. I can't get it to work.
    Settings: on MP1, in System Prefs > Sharing > Internet Sharing, I have it enabled, and set to "Share your connection from Ethernet 1 to computers using Ethernet 2"
    On MP2, it's set to DHCP. But internet doesn't work on it.
    I can use file sharing to connect from MP1 to MP2 (or vice versa) so the ethernet cable is good. I can transfer files back and forth. But if I launch Safari on MP2, it won't pull down any web pages.
    Strange thing: on MP1, in System Prefs > Network, ethernet 1 has a green light and shows connected (that's OK). But ethernet 2 shows a yellow light, says "self-assigned IP", and configure IPv4 is set to "Using DHCP" and the IP address is 169.254.xxx.xx. I'm suspicious that this starts with 169, since I think that means it's not working. Also if I look on MP2, its IP address is 192.168.2.xx.
    Can anyone help me get internet working on MP2?

    Helpful, but still not working.
    On the first Mac Pro (MP1, the one connected to the cable modem), Ethernet 1 is connected to the cable modem, and it has an IP of 192.168.2.100, subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. It works perfectly.
    On the first Mac Pro if I go to the Ethernet 2 tab, I'm not sure what to fill in. You said not to use DHCP? So I tried Manually, giving the IP 192.168.2.102, subnet mask 255.255.255.0, and leaving router, DNS server, and search domains blank, as you suggested.
    On the second Mac Pro (the "slave"), I set it to "Using DHCP" but (mysteriously) it assigns itself an IP address of 192.168.2.3. It does grab the subnet mask and router automatically. Communication between MP1 and MP2 works (I can log into one from the other), but internet does not. It's like it's partially working. I tried DHCP with manual IP, giving it the same IP (192.168.2.3) but then it says that IP is in use.
    Did I do it right? On MP1, Ethernet 2, should I be configuring things manually? (I've tried DHCP too, and that doesn't work: MP1 shows an IP of 169.254.213.35 and MP2, set to DHCP, shows a different IP of 169.254.161.138.)

  • How can i share documents with different users on the same mac?

    How can i share documents with different users on the same mac?

    Shared how? The other users can read the documents or you all can read and write the documents?
    The first is easy just place the documents in /Users/Shared anyone can access the files there and the other users will be able to read them.
    The second is a bit trickier.
