Can I use my iPhone 5 as a speaker for my Macbook?

This may be a silly question, but my iPhone 5 has great internal speakers. The speakers on my MacBook are awful. Is there a way to use my iPhone 5 as a speaker for the MacBook? If so, how would I hook this up? I've Googled this and have yet to find any questions or answers about the matter. Thanks in advance for any help you can give me!

You must need a repair on your MacBook if your iPhone speaker (singular, the iPhone only has one speaker) is better than the ones on your MacBook.

Can I use my Imac as a monitor for my Macbook Air?

Can I use my iMac as a monitor for my Macbook Air?

Without any knowledge of the year machines you have it's impossible to answer that question. iMacs adn MBA's have been around for many years now so we have no idea of the exact specs your machine have. Remember when posting you need to be complete and paint a picture for us as we aren't there to look for ourselves. Your question should be posted something like:
" I have a 2011 27" iMac and a 2009 MacBook Air, can I use the iMac as an external display for my MacBook Air?"
BTW what you are referring to is called Target Display Mode. Apple does support that on some 2009-2011 iMacs. You can find additional information at:

TS1741 Can I use my IPhone as a moderm for my laptop?

How can I use my IPhone as a moderm?

If your phone plan allows it you can turn on tethering.
Which can be found under the settings _ General _ Network
You should see an option to Set Up Personal Hotspot
If you don't then you have one of a few problems.
1. Your phone company / plan does not allow tethering
2. Your iPhone got a little stuck after the last update (happened to mine), so reset the network settings;
Under Cellular data Network, and re add all the details.
3. You need to add the correct details into the Cellular Data Network settings.
Hope it helps

Can I use my tv as a display for my macbook air?

If i I bought Apple tv and plugged it into my tv, could i then use that tv as a display for my macbook air as if my tv were a mac display?
I have a macbook air but I dont want to buy a whole new display for it which is why i want to use my tv.
I do however want to purchase AppleTv
I am currently running snow leopard, but will update in a heartbeat to lion if needed.

Connect the Macbook directly through the TV using a Mini Display Port to HDMI ('With Audio' if needed).

You cannot connect the Macbook to Apple TV.

How can I use my Iphone 3 (or 4) for soil sampling with my Wintec G-Rays 2 GPS reciever?

Hello, everyone.
I work for a company in Michigan that does a lot of soil-sampling. (We take core samples from precisely mapped areas of fields for scientific anaylsis.)
My goal is to use my Iphone 3 with my existing bluetooth Wintec G-Rays 2 for precise GPS mapping in apps like GISroam. The searchable apps in the App Store appear unreliable for tethering.
Also: My boss has an Iphone 4. (Perhaps that phone be more appropriate for this application?)
Question: Am I thinking about doing this in the right way? Are there apps that will make this simpler?
Specs for the G-Rays 2 are found below.

Can I use old iPhone 4S in Europe for WiFi, w/o cellular service? A few Qs not found in Support Community-

I wish to upgrade to iPhone 6, but first want to know if I can use my iPhone 4S for camera, iMessaging and apps (i.e. What’s App) on Wifi after it is disconnected from U.S. Verizon network?
iPhone 4S, iOS 7.1.2 (reluctant to upgrade to 8.1.2), Verizon, U.S. only
Mac Mini, OSX 10.9.5 (reluctant to upgrade to OSX Yosemite)
I’ve read all of the old posts (2011 thru July 2014), but still have questions. This is what I understand:
Upgrade iOS and apps with iTunes, before transferring to new iPhone 6
Change the name of my old iPhone http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201997 (if I wish to name my new iPhone what my old one was called)
Enable airplane mode, then re-enable just wifi
Activate new iPhone
Transfer data to new iPhone http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT2109
QUESTIONS:
Q: When connected to WiFi in England, Italy and Sicily - do I keep it in Airplane Mode even though it has been disconnected from Verizon and I will have an active iPhone 6 on my Verizon account being used by my husband at home in the U.S.?
Q: Will there be a problem sync’ing to iTunes in the future, or my Mac Mini? Will it conflict with my new iPhone 6? Or is it just considered a different device, once it has a new name.
Q: How can I message my husband in the U.S. with the iPhone 6 from Europe using my old iPhone 4S on Wifi only? Do I use my iCloud account, like I do from my Mac Mini to my iPhone? Or can I set up a new iMessage account on the old iPhone 4S
I appreciate any insights and answers. Thanks in advance!
Daphne

It doesn't have to be that complicated, Verizon iPhones come unlocked, just tell VZ you're going on Holiday/Traveling and suspend the service, no need to pay for service if you're not going to be using it. Pick up local SIM cards in the countries of your choosing, pop them in, re-activate iMessage and you're set!
I recommend getting a SIM card from the Three network in England, they have great EU roaming rates and free like-home roaming in Italy.
Set your phone's region to match the country you're in, it'll save from some headaches when calling local/international numbers.
To answer your questions,
1. If you choose not to have a local SIM card, it is good to keep your phone in Airplane mode to save battery.
2. Make sure the two iPhones have different names to reduce sync/restore issues.
3. If husband has an iPhone also, you can chat with iMessage/Facetime, just give him heads up about the new number you'll have. Otherwise, use Whatsapp if he's got an Android. You can activate Whatsapp with your American number or the international number if you choose to get a SIM in Europe.
Also, Get the MagicJack app and/or Google Hangouts, both of those apps provide you with free calling to the USA and Canada using any internet connection. Google Voice is another good way to SMS across the seas.
Let me know if you need any more tips for iPhoning across the pond.

Can i use my iphone as a remote for the iPad

is there an APP that will allow me to use my iphone to control my ipad2?

You can use your IOS device to do initial setup on an Apple TV, but you won't be able to use it as a remote as that also requires home sharing to be enabled. I would take it to Apple to test the remote and/or get a replacement.

Can i use my iphone while its charging for the first time

i just got the iphone 6. when i turned it on for the first time it had like half battery, i let it fully die and now im charging it for the first time. can i use it while its charging? every phone ive ever had had such a crappy battery life. i wanna finally have a good battery! lol

Anson Luk wrote:
Hi. Sure, you can use your iPhone when charging (but not always) . Just release your battery under 10% and recharge to 100% once a month, it can be helpful for battery life.
That is actually not considered best practice. Lithium ion batteries should be kept topped up when possible. That was previously recommended to calibrate the battery sensor. It never had any effect on the overall life of the battery.

Can I use my iphone as a hotspot for the new ipad thru Verizon?

I currently own an iphone and have service thru Verizon. Would like to purchase the new ipad. I didn't know if I needed to spend the extra money for the wi-fi-4g cellular (verizon) and have to pay for the service monthly or could I use my iphone as my hotspot? Any advise would be great! Thanks!

Verizon does offer Personal Hotspot (aka "tethering") for the iPhone. You will have pay extra for the service. Contact Verizon to get pricing.

Can I use my iMac as a 'display' for my MacBook Pro?

Hi all, I am really hoping someone can help me here.
I am wondering if I can use my 24" iMac as a display for my MacBook Pro (both running Snow Leopard).
It's my father's 80th birthday party in about 24 hours time. I am doing up the music and slideshow (thanks Apple - so easy!).
My plan was to simply take my iMac and use it. However, I managed to drop the wireless keyboard (darn those dogs) and now my keyboard won't work. I have no backup keyboards here (gave the wired one to Dad to use with his Mac mini). I live in a country area with no access to a Mac store and it will take more than 24 hours to get a new one. Went to my local 'other computer' general store last night: I really don't want to buy an ugly black keyboard..... I have just had a great idea:
Can I network my MacBook Pro and use it as the source for the slide show and simply use the iMac as a display? I have plenty of DVI adaptors but am just not sure how I would go about the software side of things? Or should I simply buy an ugly PC keyboard (and if I do, will the WIndows button work as an Apple button???)
Any suggestions would be really appreciated.
Thanks!

The imac 24 can't be used as a monitor over a DVI connection or the like, Suzanne, but you may be able to achieve what you want to using "Screen Sharing" by networking the two computers. This lets your MBP effectively control what is running on the iMac.
See HERE for the basic setup. For information about how to access the "shareable" screen from the MBP see HERE.
One possible problem may be actually getting this set-up on the iMac if it is not already enabled, however, unless you can borrow a keyboard from someone (your password may have to be entered to enable it). You may be able to get around this, if necessary, using the "keyboard viewer" (which you can place in the menubar using System preferences > Keyboard, if you don't already have it there).
Cheers

Can I use my iphone 4s to ichat with a MacBook Pro?

Is it possible to iChat from my iPhone with Os 7.0.3 to my parents MacBook Pro with Mountain Lion? I would like to use mirroring with my iphone and Apple TV and place my phone on the TV for use as a camera so that we can essentially video chat through the TV. If this is not possible, what about skype or any other systems?

HI,
The iPhone has both Messages (send iMessages to Apple items and SMS to non Apple phones) and FaceTime.
FaceTime is a 1-1 Video chat app to other iPhones or iPads with FaceTime and Apple computers that also have FaceTime (People with Snow Leopard can get it and it comes on Lion upwards).
iChat is a Mac Only text, Audio Only, Video Chat and Screen Sharing app.
It does not connect to FaceTime.
FaceTime on your iPhone and them using FaceTime on Mountain Lion should work.
Mirroring the iPhone to the TV via Apple TV (Airdrop ?) is not something I have done. (it's not the side of Apple Products I know so well).
