Cannot Tether after updating to OS4.1

Hi, I have googled my problem for the past 2 hours but I found no solution. Here is the summary.
I owned an Iphone 3GS and it was running on 3.1.3. I then decided to update it to 4.0.2. Together with the update was Itunes since I updated through Itunes and it says I have to update my iTunes in order to update my IOS.
Then the problem begins. Previously I was able to tether my iphone to my laptop without any problem be it USB or Bluetooth. All I had to do was to plug it in with the tethering ON and it does wonder. But right now, that is not the case. After plugging in with tetherin ON, Vista nows says it found a new hardware 'Apple Mobile Device Ethernet' and wants to install it. This is the same for Bluetooth tether as well. It could not install because there will be an error message saying windows found software for the device but had problem installing it.
I had then updated my iTunes to 10 and update my iOS to 4.1 but still the EXACT same problem persist
I did not do anything to my Vista for the past few months and there was no changes in settings what so ever in my laptop.
I am going crazy trying to find a solution to this. Can anybody here help me?

Do a system restore with vista
With a working calendar date
After that when you are able
To connect Internet tethering
Then update iTunes with
Firewall and scanner off
And use admin account

  • Can't replace APN after updating to OS4. It still remembers "Disable3G...."

    Can't chage APN configuration after updating to OS4. Already tried iConfiguration program but it does not work. The screen appear "Profile failed to Install - Only one APN configuration can be installed at a time."
    I guess it was from the profile that I installed from iphonenodata.com. I did not remove the profile before I updated to OS4. I can't see the APN field when I use my main number which is the Apple official carrier in Thailand (DTAC). I made a try by using AIS simcard as I can see APN input. I could change the APN and use GPRS. But once I replaced the sim card back to DTAC, the "disable" profile comes back again.
    Please suggest. Or do I need to reset as new phone? But .. then how can I get all contents back? I have so many data i.e. personal finance, health, etc.
    Many thanks,

    Now I solved the solution!!!!
    Refer to this post http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2470873&stqc=true
    To briefly saying, I deleted the file 8218978e4ab0a48035bb92653145a6be872ea858 in the backup directory. Then I restored from the backup (without backing up again during the restoration, if iTunes asks). As per "Loveturtle" in the mentioned post said, the file 821xxx contained the corrupted APN. If you want to try it out, read the post for clearer explanation.
    However, I didn't success at the first attempt. I did it twice on my laptop and once on my office PC, and succeed on the latter. Not sure what happened for the first two attempts. The results: everything's back (contact, sms, app data, photos), but music and video gone but I can sync from my iTunes later. Only annoying just the messy app icons arrangement. MMS not working if Cellular Data is off - but that's what it is supposed to be as an original setting device.
    Good luck!

The volume on my movies & everything else worked...even when I would go into "settings" and adjust the volume of the ringtone. I knew it was something simple...Thanks again..

  • Static when playing music via USB in car stereo after updating to OS4.1

    Greetings everyone.
    After updating my iPod Touch (3rd Gen) to OS4.1 I am experiencing static, scratching like or popping sounds when I am playing music in my car using the USB port. I do not get these noises when I am listening with a set of earbuds, only when in the car and connected via USB. I haven't yet tried bluetooth connection but will give it a shot tomorrow. Has anyone else experienced this?
    If any one from Apple is following this thread please give me some advice how to correct this problem. I suppose if I have too and bluetooth connection gives me the same trouble I will need to restore my iPod. Is it possible to go back in OS? I was using OS 4.0.2 prior without any problems.
    Thanks
    Dave

    Dave this is what i went thru this past week with Apple Tech
    Ipod problem
    Aug 19 2010 Purchased New IPOD McDill AFB
    Sep 15th 2010 Upgraded IPOD software from 3.1.3 to 4.1
    On Sep 16 2010,
    I notice that I tunes was skipping in my car using the USB connector. When I use the Audio output jack on the IPod the ITunes music did not skip. I hooked up a NANO to the USB connector in my car and the music played good no skips.
    Sep 17 2010
    I notified Apple Care and told them of the problem and they concluded it was an IPOD Problem. They issued a repair number (177988440) and notified Apple Distributer in Brandon, FL ( 50 miles from my home) to allow me to exchange the
    IPOD for a newer one Ser# 9E0344816K2.
    When I connected the new IPod to My Mac I was prompted to upgrade the IPOD software from 3.1.3 to 4.1. However, before I upgraded I notified the Apple Technician (Ms. Daylin Dat # 877-416-4271 Ex 2845) of the replacement and I asked if it was feasible to upgrade the IPOD to 4.1 since I believed the new up grade caused the problem.
    Daylin, said to go ahead and up grade the IPOD to the 4.1 version.
    When I completed the up grade I connected the IPOD to my car’s USB connection and the same problem occurred in the new IPOD.
    I took the new IPOD to Gettle Toyotta in Bradenton and asked if I could use one of their cars that has a USB connection and test out my IPOD and sure enough I had the same problem with the ITunes music (It was skipping).
    I notified Apple Technician again and they said go back up to the Brandon Apple distributor and get a replacement for this IPOD. I said no because it was a 100 mile round trip so they said were going to mail me a replacement.
    I returned the IPOD to Apple they did all kinds of in house test and said there was no problem wit it so they sent it back to me. So now i'm stuck with a IPOD that i cannot use with the USB connection in my auto
    Note I went on Toyota Prius forum site and there was a lot of discussion with the IPOD 3rd generation with IOS 4.1
    A lot of people are have this problem
    I notified Apple Tech and sent them a link to the Prius Form site.
    So that where it stands right now.
    By the way I hooked up the IPOD to a brand new Honda USB port and it worked great so the issue is with the IPOD IOS 4.1 and Toyota autos.

  • IPhone 4 cannot start after update to iOS 7.1

    Hello,
    I have an iPhone 4 with iOS 5.0. I didn't upgrade it to 7.0 because my friends have some problems with performance after updateing to 7.0.
    Today my friend said that iOS 7.1 have fixed issues with performance on iPhone 4&4S, so I updates my OS.
    This is what happend after update from 5.0 to 7.1:

    Any idea what can I do to fix it? I don't have proof of purchase (lost long time ago). I tried hard reset (holding power button for 20+seconds) and problem still exist.
    Anyone have this problem too?

    Thx, but it didn't helped - after reset iPhone still crash on apple logo, and I cannot restore with iTunes, because iTunes didn't recognized my phone.
    I can go tommorow to the iDream, but can they help me if I don't have my proof of purchase?

  • I cannot print after updating my MacBook Pro from OSX Tiger 10.4 to OSX Snow Leapord 10.6.  Can anyone help me?

    I cannot seem to print after updating my MacBook Pro from OSX Tiger 10.4 to OSX Snow Leapord 10.6.  Can anyone help me?

    Try re-adding your printer in System Preferences/Print & Fax. Not sure what type of printer you have, but if it was old and relying on an Appletalk connection, Snow Leopard dropped that support.

  • Can't attach an image an email after updating to OS4

    I have an iPhone 3G. I recently updated to OS4. Everything works great except that I can't attach a image/picture to an email. When I try to do so, it places a blue box (with a question mark) in my email. However, if i take a picture (or use a picture from my camera roll) it will attach the picture just fine. This problem also is the same for MMS messages. Anyone else having this problem? I would love to know how to fix it. Thanks.
    (I have tried to send the email/mms with the blue box, thinking that maybe it will send ok, but it just simply sends a blank email.

    Just testing to see if I can insert an image initially in a post with the Advanced Editor...
    Seems to be possible.
    Now an attempt to attach an image while editing, with IE9...
    Hm, that succeeded, at least while editing.  Now an attempt to attach the same image that was giving me trouble before...
    That succeeded interactively as well.  Now to hit [ Update ] to see if they actually show up...

  • T510 cannot hibernate after update ssd firmware

    Recently installed crucial m4 ssd for my T510. reinstalled windows using recovery cd and ubuntu 12.10.  The machine was working fine.
    After update the curcial firmware tfrom 00F o 010G I couldn't hibernate. The screen turns to black with all indicator on. Once move the mouse the screen turns back. I checked the power setting in Windows or lenovo power management, there is no problem. Yet I don't see other people having the same issue so I just want to check if y anyone using T510 with ssd have similar problems.
    I also installed a Mountain lion skin pack which renders windows into a mac but I guess that wouldn't matter for system function, at least not as much as the boot is now handled by linux's grub.
    Thank you guys!!

    To eject the CD, restart your mac and hold down the mouse button. If you don't have a mouse, hold down the eject button while restarting.
    Before you do that, find the original DVD that came with your MB Pro. If you can get the boot DVD in the slot in time, hold down the C key to boot from the DVD, as soon as the DVD starts to spin, hold down the option key. Then you can choose to run the disk utility or boot into the Hardware Test.
    Good Luck.

  • IPod function frozen after update to OS4

    After updating to OS 4 on my 3G iPhone, all songs (and podcasts, etc) are present in my phone, but will not play. I select a song, it comes up as if it's going to play, the little play arrow comes up, and then I get booted back to the list of songs. I have reset, restarted and restored settings. No change. I have not yet done a complete restore from my computer, because it takes upwards of 4 hours to re-download all my music to the phone. But I will if there isn't another way. Any advice? Thanks!

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Can no longer tether after update to iOS8.1.1 - PLEASE help!

    I rely on this feature for my business. I now have no connection
    Everything was fine in iOS6 - I do not know why I updated something that WAS working fine!
    But I have and now I cannot connect my MacPro nor my MBP, to my iPhone 5
    I have tried every suggestion I can find, both here and on other venues.
    All equipment is signed in to the same iCloud account,
    The iPhone internet via Verizon LTE is working fine (by itself) ie I can browse on the phone etc
    Hot spot shows on both Mac's - and both Mac's will tether to iPhone - but nothing will load in Safari, nor Mail
    Both computers are running OS 10.7.5, I had no problems before the update.
    The update did crash the phone which then went into recovery mode and restored from back-up.
    I really need a solution and fast - I am loosing $$$
    Thank You

    I now have two threads on this - anyone reading - it seems after a 2nd full restore it's working again - fingers crossed!

  • Why does my Ipod touch Music/Video apps crash after update to OS4

    Updated Ipod touch (64GB) yesterday to OS4. Today I cant run the Music or the Video apps. They will LOAD, but after 3 seconds, the crash. Any ideas?
    Ive tried to do the reboot thing (DFU??) that I saw in another post but same issue.
    Tried a search several times but have not seen any posts so far with this particular issue.

    I'm having the same issue as well, I'm currently at work so as of right now I can't try to restore mine, but the strange thing with mine is that I updated mine the day the iOS 4.0 came out and had no problems until last night. Now the music and video sections keep crashing after just a few seconds. Also all my Podcast are gone, the only things missing and I even re-downloaded them last night and they're still gone.

  • Cannot format after updating Firmware!!

    ' I was able to format with the original firmware, but now I have updated it with the new version and cannot format it! Creative, please help!

    + Before installing the firmware, I could format the memory by the following steps:
    ) Press the "delete" and turn on the camcorder. Then I get some information on the screen such as serial number and?available memory space. It also prompts?the user?to press "Play" and "Delete" (if I remember correctly)?on the bottom of the screen.
    2) Then I press "Play" and "Delete" to format the memory.
    After I updated the firmware the screen with the same information appears but the prompt for formatting is not there anymore. When I press "Play" and "Delete" it does not format.
    Hope this helps!

  • I cannot scan after updating to MAC OS X 10.10.2 (Yosemite)

    Hi,
    I have read lots os posts on the forum and tried all of them, unfortunately without success so far.
    I am no t able to scan anymore since I updated to MAC OS X 10.10. The scanner is not recognized, only the printer and fax.
    I have used the latest version of the HP Printer Software through the App Store/Update. After that I remove the printer through System Preferences/Printers and Scanner; reboot the computer, and added the printer again; however, only printing or Fax options are shown.
    Please give me some magic trick so I can use my scanner.
    Thank you
    Carlos.

    Hi Carlos, 
    Unfortunately it looks like that printer is no longer supported for scanning with Mac, but you might still have some options to scan without the printer software, see this thread:
    http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Mac-Printing-and-Scanning/HP-Color-LaserJet-CM2320nf/td-p/3688882
    Look at ShlomiL's reply, there's a link there for VueScan that might work. Also, you should be able to scan from Apple Preview, here's a short video explaining how to do that. You still get a lot of features even though it's not the printer software.
