Can i tether iphone 3g to ipad

Hi. I have an Iphone 3G I use for work. I want to buy an iPad 2 but don't want to invest in a data plan since I also have 2 other iPhones with data plans (wife and daughter). Can I tether the iPad to all of the iPhones to use their data? Mine is 3G, the other two are 3GS.

Have a look at this if you haven't already http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3574 but I think the advice above is good, i.e. check with your carrier.
Here, in the UK, my Vodafone iPhone has free tethering, but my Orange iPhone needs a £5 per month fee.
All very confusing!

    You can only add songs to your iOS device from iTunes via Wi-Fi sync or via your cable, not Bluetooth.

    That's an entirely different issue, unrelated to your iOS devices.

    make sure it's not being connected to by any of the other two
    one can only connect 1 device at the time and just by waking up sometimes a headset connects to a device
    automaticly
    then forget the bluetooth device in OS X and put the headset in pairing mode / discovery mode and connect with it once again with the mac

    Yes, that is the Tetheringn or HotSpot option.  Some models have this.  You will have to set up your phone to do this, and your carrier will likely charge you an extra fee for the tethering service.

  • Can I mirror iphone 5 to ipad 2?

    I have a wifi-only ipad and will soon have an iphone 5. I'd like to be able to mirror my iphone on my ipad to take advantage of the larger screen, particularly for GPS (presumably the new Maps program) but also for surfing. I didn't realize when I decided to buy the wifi-only ipad that it couldn't do GPS; I thought it only couldn't make phone calls. Is this possible & if so, how? I understand that Airplay will do this from ios device to Apple TV only, so that doesn't help.

    You can't physically connect an iPad and iPhone. You can blutooth connect, but not sure about iPhone 3.

  • Can't connect iphone 5 to ipad 3 by bluetooth for hotspot

    I have an iPad 3 4G and an iPhone 5. Both data plans allow me to use personal hotspot, and depending upon which carrier has the better signal, I used to be able to use the other devices data plan.
    Recently (since updating to IOS 6.0.1) I can no longer connect the iphone to the ipad- which is a real pain as I get a much bigger data allowance on the ipad than i do on the iphone!
    I have restored the iphone and it's no better. When I am searching for the ipad, the iphone doesnt detect it. If I search for the iphone from the ipad, I can see the iphone. When I select the iphone from the ipad- to pair them, the ipad becomes visible on the iphone. It works occasionally, allowing me to use the iphone's hotspot but not the other way around.
    Also, the iPhone doesn't show the names of all of my devices in the menu, it shows the MAC addresses- only my laptop shows as it's name, whereas my handsfree or bluetooth speaker just show their addresses.
    Hope this all makes sense, any ideas?????

    Other than for tethering, BT to computer is not supported.

    Can I sync iphone apps to ipad2? ie calculator, weather, compass?

    You can sync apps that you downloaded from the App Store - you cannot sync Apple's built-in apps from one device to another (they are part of the iOS and cannot be deleted or transferred)

  • Can't pair iphone 5c to ipad mini

    Both devices will pair with a Bose soundlink mini, and the iphone has paired successfully to my car Jabra. I've turned each device on/off, turned bluetooth button on/off for good measure. Both tell me to have the other turned "on and in range", [which they are and in the same room]and that the pairing was unsuccessful. House has wifi.
    Iphone 5c is 32GB  version 8.1.2
    Ipad mini is 32GB version 8.1.2   
    Thanks for any help.

    No. The iPhone is not designed to pair with an iPad or a computer via Bluetooth except for personal hotspot and then only if your cellular plan supports it. It does use Bluetooth for things like Continuity and Airdrop but in those cases Bluetooth must be turned on for both devices but they are not paired. The following has more information including a link to the Bluetooth Profiles the iPhone does support: Bluetooth: Why can't I pair my iPhone or iPad with my computer?

    Plug the iphone in and go to the music tab in the iphone,not your itunes library.There will be a button in the borrom right that says autofill. Click that and it should thransfer all your music. It worked for me,and i had the same problem.
