Can I use my android to connect a laptop to the internet?

I am in a location with no internet router can I connect the laptop to the android or my phone to access the internet?

Does your android device offer you a hotspot feature or USB tethering? If so then yes. If not then no.
Shoot us your phone model number so we can look up the specs and see what features it supports.

I currently use a mifi device to connect my laptops to the internet, can I use the iphone 5c as an internet access point for them

Can the iphone 5c be used as a router to connect my laptop to the internet???

Yes, but it depends on what plan you have.
What plan name do you have as stated on your bill. If it says More Everything, the hotspot functionality is already included.

Can I use my iphone 4 to give access to the internet to my iPad?

Can I use my iphone 4 to give access to the internet via 3G to my iPad WiFi only?

You can with the Personal Hotspot feature located in Settings>General>Network. This might bring additional monthly costs, so ask your carrier first. If the Personal Hotspot feature is not visibily in Settings, then it is either not enabled by your carrier or it has to be enabled by your carrier first (probably also accompanied with an additional monthly fee).

Use my macbook to connect my pc to the internet

I have a pc with no internet connection close by and I want to use my macbook to connect. Please explain how I can do this.

Ok.
I am connected to wi-fi through TC connected to a specific router and is working perfectly and saving data through TM without any issues.
The TC version is 7.6.1 and am using OS 10.7.3
The router mode is on Bridge mode and router is connected to TC through USB cable, I suppose for internet access. My Mac is on wi-fi through TC
I have another location, much further, which recently have been installed with wi-fi through router that has WPA accessibiulity with password, 100% different than the current one.
Since, I will be most of my time in this new location, I wish to move my TC to this new location, and configure it in similar fashion like what I am having right now.
Naturally, I do not wish to lose any saved data on the TC.
Hope I managed to provide enought info.
Thanks in advance

How to connect my laptop to the internet using my iphone?

Hello,
I've just change from my former Nokia N95 to the iphone 4 (on Tmobile Germany) and I'm totally thrilled because this new device is just fantastic!
However, I could easily connect my macbook via bluetooth to connect to the internet occasionally. I couldn't yet figure out how I can achive this with my iphone?
Any hints would be very welcome!
Thanks in advance!

Thanks a lot for your hints.
However, I still don't quite get it.
The links you stated say that I would have to contact my carrier to enable a certain "Tethering"-option, whatever that is. This would cost me another 5€ extra per MONTH for an option that I probably don't need at all - I don't need tethering or anything, just internet-dialup.
I guess they can't charge a monthly fee for a phone feature
To make it clear:
I don't need extra data volume (I got a flat already), so there is no need upgrade my tariff. I only want to connect my phone to my macbook and to dialup to the internet, just like I did with my former phones.
No "Tethering" or whatever needed, just Internet dial-up. How do I do that?
Thanks in advance!!

Can't use iMac running OS 9.0.4 for the internet

Hi! I appreciate any help you can give me. I've got an older iMac that I just want to use to access the internet for my kids. Here is all the info from the machine I can think might be useful:
Mac OS: 9.0.4, Mac OS ROM 5.5.1
Processor: PowerPC G3
Speed: 400MHz
Build-in Memory: 64MB SDRAM
Video Memory: 8MB
Backside L2 cache: 512K
Harddrive: ATA, 10.20GB
Like I said, I just want to use it for internet access, but as far as I can tell, there are no up-to-date OS 9 browsers, and NONE of them will run any web page my kids want to visit that have Java, Flash, etc., which is 99.999% of the web-sites. In other words, the computer is useless as-is for what I want it to do. As far as I can tell, I need to update to OS X to get a browser that anyone bothers to update, but to do that, I need to update the RAM on the machine. I can free-update to the base version of OS X from the apple web-site, right? How much will a 512MB memory card run me? What's the cheapest source? Since I am the furthest thing from a Mac expert you have ever met, I could easily be WAY off on any of my assumptions, so any advice is greatly appreciated.
Two tangential questions:
(1) Someone told me that back when I bought the machine (I bought it from my local Apple computer store) the memory should have been upgraded for free. Was I ripped off by the retailer?
(2) I noticed in my research that my particular model - a slot loading "red" iMac with the specifications I outlined above, should have come with a DVD-Rom. However, my machine has a CD-ROM. Was I ripped off by the retailer?
Thanks again for any help & advice.
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Welcome to the Apple Computer Discussions! With the release of the iPhone, the Discussions are a disaster area!
If your iMac has a slot-loading CD, it is readily expandable without too much fuss. If it is a tray-loader, it must be thoroughly dis-assembled to make the upgrades.
One of these may be its official spec:
http://support.apple.com/specs/imac/iMacSlotLoading.html
http://support.apple.com/specs/imac/iMacEarly2001.html
If so, there are two desktop-Mac style DIMM slots on its bottom under an easily removable door.
This vendor has a very good memory selector, good prices, and good service. I especially like that they tell you what they are shipping, and that what they deliver is true to their promise:
http://www.datamemorysystems.com/G3iMacMemory.asp
Unfortunately, you cannot update to Mac OS X (any version) by free download -- you will have to buy a set of CDs, and you should not pay money for anything before 10.2 Jaguar at the absolute minimum. 10.3 Tiger is more stable, easier to install, faster and more pleasant to use, and has much more software available to run with it, including printer drivers and utilities. It is similar to 10.4, but is missing some scripting, desktop Widgets, Spotlight searching and indexing, and a few other features you may or may not crave.
You will need a "Full Retail" CD set, with a black or white background and a large stylized X on the face. Orange or Gray CDs will not be adequate -- they are for other specific Macs, not yours. You can trawl eBay and other secondary sources for the best bargains, or shop from this seller has what you want at pretty good prices, shipping included, and good service:

How can I use my Treo 700wx thru Verizon to connect my laptop to the internet?

I've seen many people do this. Do I need a special cord? How can I make this happen rather quickly? I'm leaving in a few hours for a road trip and would like to be able to make this happen. What kind of set up is involved on the phone? I currently have an unlimited data plan on my account thru Verizon.
Thanks in advance for any help and advice you can give.
DT.

Using iPhone to connect my MacBook to the internet.

Any ideas on how I can use my iPhone to connect my MacBook to the internet?

Hi RonAnnArbor,
Why not just tell people the truth and let them be responsible for their own actions. You cannot seriously expect us to believe that you are this ridiculously naive. Let's suppose that you are in a geographic/physical location that does not have free, or pay WiFi. But, to get the customer up and running you need a real machine with real apps to do some work. This, opposed to just playing on the net with the iPhone. Real work, not reading emails and showing your technically challenged friend how your blog looks on the phone... Instead of that, you are looking at stuff that is technical, contains a great deal of information, or contains a great deal of formatting. Could you not see that it would be easier to work with this type information not just from a readability standpoint, but a usability standpoint on something with a larger display?
I digress. Anyway there is no way to connect your MacBook Pro to the net because there is no connection available and you are in the middle of no where, but your iPhone is in your holster and has a freakin' marvelously strong signal. So, you have this iPhone in your pocket right next to your xxxx and it is doing nothing but playing your favorite music.
Hmm, interesting "You have an Unlimited Data Plan with AT&T" why not use it to create your own WiFi hotspot with your iPhone and allow your MacBook Pro, Windows PC, whatever to share the phone's data connection so that these and other devices can connect to the net via the iPhone? So you still don't see the advantage?
That is an awesome feature and makes it so you can connect with anything, anywhere using your iPhone. Talk about a new marketing angle. Your iPhone is now your ISP. The iPhone would be acting as, well, a modem if that helps you bring the aforementioned post full circle.

Use iphone to coneect a laptop to the internet

Is it possible to use iphone to connect a laptop to the internet?
In other words is it possible to use the iphone as an access point?

Just an update about cost (really triggered by another interrelated post “Transfer files to iphone over usb (no wifi) then mail them...”)
In Greece Vodafone allows data exchange from tethering as part of the main data package which you get if you want with a subscription. There are various packages, currently one for 500MB extended to 1GB for the 1st year costs around 5€. That's actually added to the main phone package, so for about 40-50€ / month you have about 3 hours talk time + the 500MB/1GB data.
Don’t know whether you consider that as expensive or not.
Actually, before discovering tethering I never went beyond the 200MB in a month without considering the extent of internet usage. Tethering won’t really make any difference in the data exchange volume since my intention is to use it in emergency situations anyway.

Can I use an Android phone without a data plan?

Please read all of this before responding. You will not be helping when you show a clear misunderstanding of my question.
I do not need a data plan. Everywhere I go has Wi-Fi, and I am perfectly content to not have internet connectivity in the event that I don't have Wi-Fi. What I want to know is if I can buy a phone from a store (not from Verizon or a contract renewal) and replace my current phone with it without needing a data plan. There is NO software/hardware reason why I couldn't, and the only reason I would need to is as a Verizon requirement.
As an additional question, if Verizon doesn't allow it, is there any workaround?
I want an android phone not to have ubiquitous connection to social media. I want an android phone to have platform to run software on in addition to making/receiving calls and text messages. I would not utilize a data plan and it would be a waste of money.
Additional info:
Can I use an Android phone that I buy from a retailer on my Verizon plan without adding data? There's no hardware or software reason why I need a data plan, and there IS a point to having a smart phone without a data plan: Wi-Fi. I don't need to have redundant internet access. The only reason conceivable for why I'd need a data plan is because Verizon wants more money for no additional service (I wouldn't USE connectivity provided by a data plan). I don't want to have a mobile platform for running software and a phone filling my pockets, I'd like it to be in one. All the connectivity I need is for calls and text messaging.

I stand corrected!
Here's an article on the subject with a good discussion and a somewhat dodgy suggestion for non-Verizon service: http://news.cnet.com/8301-1035_3-57555091-94/can-you-ditch-your-smartphone-data-plan-for-wi-fi/.
Here's a discussion on a T-Mobile forum laying out the options (as of last November): http://support.t-mobile.com/message/198200. It sounds like it would meet one of the OP's desires: "Can I use an Android phone that I buy from a retailer on my Verizon plan without adding data?" Not on Verizon, but probably on T-Mobile.

Can I use my iPad to connect to a Mobile Access Server on a Mac mini ?

I run a small business and am considering setting up an internal network. The online "features" description for Mobile Access Server (a component of Snow Leopard Server) says I can connect remoetley from an iPod or a Mac. The iPad is not mentioned. can I use my iPad to connect to a Mobile Access Server?

Yes. It's the same as connecting from an iPod touch or iPhone.
Logmeinigniton or teamviewer are a few of the apps you can use.
Teamvewer has free app and you can see if it does what you want.

Can I use my car stereo connected to my iPhone when I have it an Apple watch connected?

Can I use my car stereo connected to my iPhone when I have it an Apple watch connected?
In short, I want my phone to connect to my car audio when I'm driving rather than my Apple watch.

Assuming that the Apple Watch and the car system use different BT profiles, it shouldn't be a problem to have the phone connected to both.

Can I use Apple TV to connect to Directv on demand

Can I use Apple TV to connect to Directv on demand

No, however, if you play Directv on demand through your MBP then you're free to do it that way.
An IOS device would be an iPod Touch, iPhone or iPad.

Can I use my iPad to connect to my company's IBM mainframe?

Can I use my iPad to connect to my company's IBM mainframe?

It depends on the mainframe, how it's set up to be accessed (the iPad has only WiFi or 3G connections), and what you need to do. There are terminal emulators in the iTunes Store, though, including a couple of 3270 emulators.
