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.

    Yes, but you have to have your phone set up for tethering. Depending on your carrier that might require a special plan.

    How do I use my iPhone 5 as a router for my iPad?

    Yep, as stedman has helpfully proffered a link on HowTo.
    Once the personal hotspot is up, you can connect a reasonable number of devices to gain Internet access. The iPad can hook up either via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. If you have a computer, you also have the choice of a wired connection as well.

  • 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 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.

  • Centro 5 (garnet) and new iMac OS 10.5.6 Can I use my Mac as an internet connection for Palm?

    I have a Palm Centro through Sprint.  I have cable internet via SBC Global (ATT).  I also have a wireless internet network in my home.  I run a Mac with OS 10.5.6.  I would like to be able to get to the internet on my palm via the bluetooth in my Mac, or I'd even like to get to the internet on my palm via the Mac by connecting to it via USB.  
    Obviously, I'm clueless.  I've spent many hours researching this and it seems most people are trying to  use their phone as a modem, but I don't think that's what I want to do since both my Mac and my Centro have bluetooth capability.  I do not want to get a $25 data plan through sprint when I am only accessing while inside my home where my internet capability already is.  I'm not trying to use my phone for internet access.  So, I'm not looking for "Wi-Fi" per se.  Mostly I want to be able to download applications directly to my phone instead of needing to download first to my mac, then install to my phone. Also, I'd like to access my googlemaps page from home.  
    My husband has a brand new itouch ipod which he was able to EASILY access our wireless internet through his laptop PC.  Meanwhile, I'm running in circles.  I can't figure out why a smart phone would prevent me from accessing my wireless internet.
    Help....Please?

  • 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.

    Is your Printer is a Wireless Printer or its an Normal USP port Printer ?
    If your printer is an Normal USB Port printer then you need to buy a Print Server ( WPS54G or WPSM54G). So once you configure your Print server you will be able to Print from all your computers Wired / Wirelessly.

    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...
