  • Can i use the Iphone 4S as a modem for a Samsung Laptop?

    I've tried to link the samsung with the IPHONE 4S via bluetooth.  This appeared to be successful.  However I failed to get internet access on the laptop via the iphone's 3G data network.
    Is there a way to do this.  Reason being is the laptop user needs would like to access the internet / obtain emails etc on his laptop whilst travelling to and from work.  His train doesn't have wifi.  I thought connecting the iphone and the laptop via bluetooth to get a connection via the phone network would be the answer but this doesn't seem to be the case.
    Can anyone advise or is the only option to get a dongle for the laptop?

    Yes, It does work via wifi but the person I am helping wants it to work in a non-wifi environment (his train doesn't have wifi) and he doesn't want to use a wifi dongle to incur extra charges.  So the only way I seemed to be able to get round this is using the USB cable.  The laptop then seemed to register the device automatically under networks and I was then able to connect and use his Iphone 3G connection.

  • Can I use my iPhone as an internet router for my MBA

    Can I use my iPhone as an internet router for my MBA when traveling? if so how do I do it.

    As a router or do you want to use the phone signal to provide an Internet connection? If that is what you are attempting to do you are asking about tethering and need to speak to your cell phone provider to get that service turned on. If you actually want the phone to be a router, no it does not have that ability.

  • Can you use your Iphone as a wifi-hub for Ipad?

    Is it possile to buy the Ipad2 wifi and then use your Iphone Data plan to connect your ipad to 3G network? Therefore using my iphone as a wifi-hub for the Ipad instead of paying for another data plan?

    Absolutely you can do this.  If you have iPhone 3GS or iPhone 4 and your carrier offers a tethering plan, you can certainly use that to give your iPad a wifi hotspot anywhere you have 3G service.  AT&T offers tethering.  There is additional cost and for anyone who had an ulimited data plan with AT&T, they will have to give up the unlimited option and agree to a capped data plan.  Currently, that option costs $45/month and includes (I believe) 4GB of data/month.

  • 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 a Nokia N80 as a modem for my G4 PowerBook?

    I'm about to spend a month in Italy and will take my G4 PowerBook with me. I need to buy a new mobile phone and thought that if I buy the Nokia N80 Internet Edition I can also use it as a modem for my PowerBook and connect using UMTS or EDGE. I already have a prepaid SIM card with TIM (Italian mobile service provider).
    Has anyone successfully used the N80 with their G4 PowerBook?
    Cheers

  • Can I use old iPhone 4.3.3 backup for new iPad 6.1.3 to recover lost contacts?

    I lost all Contacts from iPhone 4 iOS 4.3.3 when I accidentally deleted my old MobileMe email account. (Never upgraded to 5.0+). Can I sync or restore a new iPad mini 6.1.3 using an old iPhone backup through iTunes to retrieve my Contacts? Is there other way?  Not on iCloud. Don't wanna restore my iPhone & lose all its data since last backup. Thank you.

    Go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup and confirm that the backup completed successfully.  If wi was it will say "Last Backup:" with a date and/or time at the very bottom under the "Back Up Now" button.  After confirming this, do the following:
    Restore your iPhone backup to your iPad Mini by connecting the iPad Mini to your computer, open iTunes, click on the name of your iPad Mini in iTunes, go to the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and click on Restore Backup.  Watch the progress bar at the top of iTunes and allow the restore process to complete.  When it's done, eject it from iTunes and disconnect it from your computer.
    Check the contacts and calendar on your iPad Mini to confirm that the they was successfully restored.  Assuming they were, go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts and Calendars to On (if they aren't already on), and choose Merge when prompted to upload the data to your account.
    Go to icloud.com from your computer, sign into your iCloud account and check your contacts and calendar to confirm that they were both successfully uploaded.
    Restore your iCloud backup by going to Settings>General>Reset and tapping Erase All Content and Settings.  Then go through the setup screens on your iPad Mini and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup.  Sign into your iCloud account, agree to the terms and conditions, then choose your most recent backup to restore to.  Be sure your iPad Mini is connected to wifi and your charger as this may take some time to finish.  After restoring your data and settings, it will restart and begin to download your apps and other purchased media.  During this process you will be prompted enter the passwords for the Apple ID(s) used to purchase this media.
    When it's done restoring our iCloud backup, go to Settings>iCloud, confirm that you are signed into your iCloud account and turn Contacts and Calendars to On (if they aren't already on).  Your recovered contacts and calendar should then reappear on it.

  • Can I use my iPhone as a web cam for my mac mini?

    Just purchased my mac mini and I need a good web cam. Seems I should be able to use my iphone

    There is an app (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/iwebcamera/id369617568?mt=8) that can do what you want. But, unfortunately only suports OSX Lion, Snow Leopard and Leopard (suport info).
    This other app (https://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/webcamera/id348150234?mt=8) didn't say the exact OS X compatibility...

  • Can I use my iPhone AT&T 3G network to connect my AE to my iPad? I have no home Internet provider.

    I bought an AE and was told I could use my AT&T service to "use" my AE. All I get is the blinking amber light.

    Not sure who gave you that advice but he/she was not correct. If your AT&T contract provides for "teathering" service option, you could use the iPhone as a wireless modem for your iPad, but it won't work for the AirPort Express, Extreme, or Time Capsule.
    If you have this plan then you wouldn't need the AirPort base station for what your networking goal is.

  • HT1386 I can't use my iphone after upgrading to IOS5

    Can someone help?  I can't use my iphone 3gs after upgrading to ios5.

    I have iphone 3 GS.  I upgraded the software to ios 5 and the phone is now can't be accessed.  All I can see is the Gray screen says Iphone.  It ask me to set it up, choose your country, wifi, etc.  when I did that, it always stop at the page where it says "Apple activation server is down, please try it again".  Tried so many times but the same messages kept showing up.  Connect it to Itunes, itunes said there is no sim card installed.  I went to AT&T to get the new simcard and it still saying the same thing.  don't know what's wrong with it.
