Connect lap top to iPhone to get on Internet ???

Is it possible to use the iPhone as my Internet modem using the g3 cell connection and NOT wifi???
This allows connectivity anywhere ...

Not yet. What you are describing is a "tethered modem"
There was an APP posted on the App Store a few weeks ago that did what you want, but it was pulled in less than a day.
I have seen news articles from AT&T that say they intend to release their own version of a tethered modem application but it was probably come with an additional monthly service charge.
See http://news.cnet.com/8301-13579_3-10083957-37.html
Hope that helps.

    0X is a Windows Error. Take the time to look over on the right under the "More Like This" and look for ones that have the green checkmark as being solved. You should find answers there.

    Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
    (If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
    Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, can you get a normal iTunes install to go through properly now?
    If instead you get an error message during the install (or uninstall), let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

  • Tenía el Iphone 4 y ahora tengo el Iphone 5, Para sincronizar mis datos alteriores con el nuevo Iphone 5, primero descargo la información en mi LAP TOP del iphone 4, y luego sincronizo mi nuevo IPHONE 5 pero mi pregunta es...: tengo que ponerle RESTAURAR?

    1. Sincroniza tu iphone 4 para que se haga una copia de seguridad.
    2. Conectas el iphone 5.
    3. Cuando te diga que si quieres configurar con una copia de seguridad, le dices que sí y escoges la última que hayas hecho.

  • Connecting lap top to hdtv

    I have a new HDTV with a pc input.  I tried to connect my m105-s3004 satellite to my toshiba 42hl167 tv using the pc input with a vga cable and the tv is displaying " unsupprted video signal.  Is there something extra I need to do to get my lap top to work on my TV?

    You'll get the best picture connecting the video output from the S-Video port of your Satellite M105-S3004. Scroll down in the specifications and you'll see it on the left side just in front of the USB port.
    You'll need to get the audio from the Headphone jack on the front on the right.

    thanks a million for the prompt reply

  • Unable to Connect to WiFi after iPhone power off; WiFi & internet are working with MBP; common problem, no solutions?

    Here's my setup: Internet <> Comcast/xFinity supplied cable modem <> new Apple Time Capsule <> iPhone 4 & MacBook Pro (see below for hardware details)
    Internet on my iPhone 4 has been acting slow since yesterday evening. My MacBook Pro was running fine, but just to be sure I checked the Comcast website to see that I have only used 50GB of my allotted 250 GB of data for the month, so it's not that.
    I decided it must be a problem with just my iPhone, so I opened up the multitasking bar and quit everything in there manually, and then I held the on/off button, and slid the slider to power off. When I started back up, I could not connect to the same WiFi I had just been using. I tried to reconnect and nothing. I tried to forget the network and try again, nothing. I tried to reset all network settings, nothing.
    I have tried all the steps listed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398 "iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections"
    Toggled WiFi off and back on
    Made sure I am in range of the router (it's about 8 feet away and my iPhone reports full signal from the network)
    Made sure all the hardware is connected and on
    Checked other devices (I'm successfully connected with my MacBook Pro right now)
    Checked for router firmware upgrades (I have a new Time Capsule from Apple with the current 7.5.2 firmware which I've been using for a month)
    Restarted my device (again)
    Checked that the network is available (it does show on my iPhone)
    Restarted my Time Capsule
    Checked my router configuration as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3727 "Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network" which involves simply checking to see that WMM is turned on, also stating that WMM cannot be enabled or disabled for Apple's AirPort products.
    Reset my network settings (again)
    I have searched and searched for fixes to this problem, and I have additionally tried:
    Enabling/disabling Airplane Mode
    Disabling any network password protection/encryption (no luck), re-enabling it (no luck)
    Changing the network password
    Checking for hardware addresses present in iOS Settings > General > About (they are present and not zero'ed out)
    Switching Bluetooth off (nothing) and back on (nothing)
    ....and probably a few other things I can't think of right now
    I have yet to try:
    The "Freezer Trick" which apparently involves chilling the iPhone to get a temporary fix?
    Restoring the iPhone (I would really rather not)
    A different WiFi network (other than my own Time Capsule home network or guest network, both of which give the same Unable to Connect error)
    So, after all of that, are there any more ideas? Is there a reliable solution to this issue? So far I've just seen a lot of "mess with the settings," "the freezer trick worked," and "blame it on the iOS 4 update."
    Here are my hardware details:
    iPhone 4; iOS 5; 32GB; AT&T; no cellular data plan (July 2011)
    TimeCapsule6,113; Firmware 7.5.2; 2TB (September 2011)
    MacBook Pro 3,1; Mac OS X (10.7.2); 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo; Hi-Res Display; 4GB RAM; 500GB HD (August 2007)
    ...and the Time Capsule config:
    http://cl.ly/BCUt

    Ugh. Apparently "messing with it" is still the answer. I decided to try the LinkSys router I was using before I bought the Time Capsule, and my iPhone connected with no problem.
    I went through the steps again, and after rebooting my Time Capsule this time, I can connect again. The troubling thing it that this started with a power-off of my iPhone. No changes or installations, just a reset. Am I going to have to reboot my Time Capsule (which has no power switch, just a cord I have to unplug) every time I reboot my iPhone?

  • HT5085 i am unable to get itunes match on my lap top although i can get it on my ipad itunes match has already been purchased

    hi i am unable to get itunes match on my laptop but is ok on my ipad this has already been purchased from apple

    There is no work around, you must wait the 90 days (or however long is remaining) before associating the device with another Apple ID.
    Keep in mind that if you log into your mother's iPad with your iTunes Store Apple ID she will then be using that Apple ID for everything including purchases. Any apps purchsed with her Apple ID can not longer be updated on the device.

  • HT4356 I was gifted a new Samsung wireless printer model ML-2165W, it works with my desk top and lap top but can't get it to work with IPad.  Did I just receive a "boat anchor" printer in the eyes of Apple?

    I was recently gifted a new Samsung wireless printer Model # ML-2165W and while it works fine with all my computers, I can't make it print from my IPAD.  Was I given a "boat anchor" in the eyes of Apple?

    It looks like your printer isn't on the list of air print enabled printers. It'll still work, you just need to do some tweaking.
    You can see if samsung has any apps to enable printing.
    or
    You can look into a third party app like Print n Share or Print Central.
    Then you can print from your iPad.

  • Connected to WiFi but can not get the internet

    I'm really hoping that someone can help. I bought my Ipad yesterday but am unable to connect to the internet. I have connected to my WiFi and have full signal strenght but when I go on Safari it tells me that I'm not connected. I have tried changing some of my settings but can only get as far as the message 'Cannot open page - Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding' I also have the same problem with my Iphone and Ipod touch, I have never tried to sort these as don't need the internet on them. I have tried updating my Itunes and Ipad, both are now fully updated. My internet is working fine on any computer that is not apple... Please help, im pulling my hair out here.
    Many thanks

    What do you see if you go to Settings > WiFi and touch the ">" next to your network name?
    If you touch the ">" you will get the details of your network connection. Things like the type of IP address allocation (DHCP, Static, Bootp), assigned IP Address, Subnet Mask, Router address, DNS addresses, etc.
    Please report what you see there.
    Also please identify the make, model and type of router you have.
    Do you know what kind of security you are using on your router? None, WEP, WPA, WPA2?
    When you said, "I have tried changing some of my settings", what did you do?

  • Airport connects to wireless network, can't get on internet

    Hi All -
    Having a weird problem. Set up new high speed wireless at home (ATT/Yahoo with a 2wire wireless router. Had NO problem setting up my MacPro (wired ethernet), MacBook (airport) and my wife's PC (I know, she's switching as soon as we can).. but for some reason my older Dual G4 with an Airport Card will NOT connect.
    The Airport seems to connect to the Wireless network NO problem. I enter the WEP password and I am in as far as Airport is concerned. But it won't connect to the internet.
    I tried like all the other machine to go into Network/Airport and set it up for DHCP just like all the other machines, however it gives a message in Network Status:
    "Airport is connected to the Network 2WIRE900. Airport has a self-assigned IP address and may not be able to cnnnect to the internet"
    When I go to show Airport, and choose "Using DHCP (like all the other comps) it has an IP that is not in the range of what is assigned by the router.. I never put that IP there, so I have no idea. I have tried to renew the lease, change to manual, then switch back to DHCP, etc. All to no avail.
    It also does not show the Router IP address either..
    I am really stuck and at a standstill as this Mac not only can't get online, but it has 3 500GB drives full of info I need to access from my other Macs.
    Any Help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Steve

    Hi Duane,
    Thanks for the reply.
    Yes, wireless mode is set to 802.11b/g
    I did not enable a MAC list. I see that option on the router but am unsure of if I should enable it or how to do so.
    It says:
    Tip: To discover new devices to be added, disable the MAC Filtering feature for one minute, then refresh this page. Once new devices are listed, re-enable the MAC Filtering feature and modify the list below.
    You can also add a MAC address manually.
    As I stated, I setup my MacBook with no problems. It immediately recognized the network and turning on DHCP the router assigned it an IP without a problem.
    Thanks,
    Steve

  • Airport connects to the router but wont get an internet connection until 20 minutes after

    Dear All,
    My macbook connects to my router (at full strength), but the internet does not work or takes 20-30 minutes to start working. Other devices work fine, (including my iphone and a family HP laptop),
    Please simplify your advice as much as possible.
    Kind Regards
