Connecting iBook to Verizon EVDO with a Cell Phone

Verizon allows access to their EVDO network through four cell phones models with a USB cable connecting the cell phone and a notebook computer. Has anyone done this with an iBook? If so, can you tell me how to do it? Any information would be appreciated.
iBook Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Yes, all have Bluetooth. The 4 phones are:
LG VX8100
LG VX9800
Motorola RAZR V3c
Motorola 813
Verizon just recently allowed access to their EVDO system using these phones. (http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1895,1918150,00.asp)
I can use Bluetooth or a data cable from RPI Wireless (http://www.rpiwireless.com) or the data cable in the Verizon V Cast kit. The big problem is no one I can reach at Verizon or Apple, either at a store or over the phone, knows anything about this. I'm trying to find out how to make the connection to the EVDO system once the phone to iBook connection has been established. I would think this knowledge would be valuable to Apple since neither the iBook G4 nor the 12 inch Powerbook G4 have PCMCIA slots. Any help would be deeply appreciated.

Why are you sure?

Making video seem like it was shot with a cell phone?

How can I make either DV NTSC or AVCHD video appear very poor quality, as if it were shot with a cell phone?
Thanks.

You can also use compressor to convert to the 3GP format, the default video codec for many mobile phones. Select a choppy framerate, something like 15 fps. I think the ipod codec looks to good for somoething that is intended to fake a mobile phone quality.

If I buy the iphone 6 contract free T-Mobile, is he also unlocked? Can I use in Brazil with my cell phone company from Brazil? thanks

If I buy the new iphone 6 here in US, as a contract free T-Mobile, is he also will be unlocked? Can I use in Brazil with my cell phone company from Brazil? thanks

Some users are reporting their contract-free T-Mobile iPhone 6 is unlocked, others are saying that they had to activate on T-Mobile and use their network for 40-days to get T-Mobile to unlock the iPhone.
It would be wise to wait for the release of the Apple unlocked models.

Hi, haven't used iMovie in years. I shot some video with my cell phone camera (Samsung Galaxy S2). When I tried to make a movie, the clips I downloaded played back sideways on iMovie. Is there any way I an flip the video from horizontal to vertical?

You actually want a vertical video??
What would you show that on?!

In earlier versions of iMovie you can also do this using Quicktime Pro 7:
Open MOV file in QT Pro (QT 7.6.6)
Window -> Show Movie Properties
select "Video Track"
select "Visual Settings" from lower window
check "Preserve Aspect Ratio"
Click on appropriate rotation icon (MOV rotates!)
Click back on the open MOV in Player Window
FILE -> Save
You can also do this using TransformMovie, available here:

Connecting an iBook to Verizon EVDO

My brother has just bought an iBook G4 at CompUSA.
He is interested in getting Verizon EVDO Internet.
Given that he has 10.4 Tiger, and bluetooth installed, what would he need to get/do in order to make this work.
It is my understanding that Verizon wants him to get a Powerbook, so that he can use a PCMCIA interface card, but IIRC, it is possible that with the right bluetooth phone, he could connect the two, and use the cell phone as the transciever that interfaces with verizon's network, and passes data back and forth with the notebook.
Questions:
1. Is it possible?
2. Does it require "Hacking" to break limits that Verizon sets in the phone.
3. Is there a USB based EVDO adapter?
4. what kind of transfer speeds would he get, and would it be sufficient to play Euchre on Yahoo Games?
(Ignore the attached information about my system, what I know about my brother's iBook is that is has bluetooth+Airport Extreme, Quad format superdrive, 14" screen, 60 GB HDD, and he bought it new at CompUSA yesterday.)
Thank you for your assistance, I will award points to anyone who contributes useful information/links to this thread.

Setting up internet connection with a cell phone as modem

Well, I guess you can figure out what this is all about from the title..
Basically, I have a cell phone (Nokia N95 8GB) which I currently use for my internet connection on Windows XP, connected via USB cable. The question is how I would go about setting it up with Arch.. I really have no idea where to start. I have browsed the Wiki and been Googling for ages without much luck. I would therefore be very grateful if someone would point me in the right direction.
My ISP is Telenor, I live in Norway. I already have the details required for a working connection on Windows, would these be very different on Linux? Or, in other words, do I need additional information?
Do I have to use a "dialer" - like wvdial? If so, where do I get that one without a working internet connection?
Also, I have Arch installed on my US pen drive. Is there a recommended way to make my network settings portable between multiple computers, can I e.g. have multiple profiles?

I used to do this with a Nokia N70, and when I plugged in the USB able, the cdc-acm module would autoload and create a /dev/ttyACM0 interface that could be used by ppp. ppp is on the install iso, btw.
netcfg can handle multiple profiles - I haven't used it with dial-up myself though.

Audio Chat with A Cell Phone

Hi, I added a friends cell phone number. I tried starting an audio chat, but it says the number is busy in a conference. They aren't talking on their phone, so whats going on?

to my knowledge, you can't do an audio chat with a cellphone.
Anyone else?

Having a contract with a cell phone company and after it is has ended

If he phone is yours, You still have to go thru the Back Breaking process to get your phone unlocked..
This is wrong.. If the phone Legally Belongs to you...It should be relased automatically Right after the Contract ends...don't you think?
Especially At&T - 5 Business Days... WOW

That will not affect people with postpaid subsidized phones and contracts, such as the OP.
All he has to do is fill out this: https://www.att.com/deviceunlock/client/en_US/termsAndCondition and wait to hear from AT&T. On mine it took 2 days to hear from AT&T and 24 hours to wait for Apple.

On my iPhone 4s my texts are coming up with the cell phone

Just recently, when someone sends me a text, my iPhone 4s has recently began showing cell phone #'s instead of their names. Why?
There are no names recorded in my contact list also.

Try ctrl+opt+cmd+8 for a start.
(⌃⌥⌘ 8)
That toggles colour inversion on and off. (for the visually impaired)

In Europe and cannot connect with a cell phone network!!

Can I connect to old Verizon account with replacement iPad?

I had to get my Verizon iPad 2 replaced at the Apple store. Now I can't reconnect to my old data plan. It asks for my information again but then complains because my email screws is already in use. Any ideas?

I did have to go through Verizon to get this resolved. What they really needed, though, was the phone number from my old iPad. I guess every iPad has a phone number associated with it. Unfortunately my old iPad was already gone but verizon finally thought to have me get the original box which I still had. The box had a sticker on it with the information they needed. So I'm all set. The Moral of the story is to make sure to save your old information (phone number) when you get a replacement iPad (or iPhone I assume).

Can two or more devices use the same Apple account with different cell phone numbers. I want to use FaceTime on a my 5s and my wife wants her own FaceTime on a new iPad Air with its own cell number but be linked with me with iCloud to share music

I have a 5s with an apple account and wife has a iPad air with its own cell number. Does the iPad need it's own apple account to use it's own phone number so her FaceTime calls are not sent to my phone. We want to be able to link each device to iCloud and share music, photos, ect. iPad iMessage and FaceTime have my cell number activated.

What equipment (HTC Imagio) do I need to return with the cell phone?

Hi,
I took a one month global travel program Imagio phone, and now need to return the equipment for credit. However, I can't recall all the pieces that came with it. So far, I have the htc imagio phone unit, along with the following:
one connection wire
one unit (the charger?) with a 2-prong plug built into it
one htc unit (adapter?) also with a 2-prong plug built into it
a teeny-teeny-tiny screwdriver
Does anyone know if I am missing any part? Sorry my memory is so lame. I know, I should have written it down! My bad.
Thanks, VeeMar

Just return the modem and its power cord/power pack. When they provide Ethernet cables, coax, and splitters, those items become yours.

How do I connect a Samsung SGH-D407 with the I phone

Is this possible? It is discovering the devices but not connecting. Please help I'd like to get the photos off my Samsung but don't have any other way of doing so.

Hey there!
The iPhone's Bluetooth cannot be used for sending and receiving files. :(!!
It can only be used for Bluetooth headsets unfortunately.
This is obviously because Apple does not want people to send copyrighted iTunes songs/videos.
Even if the files you want to send are yours, and have nothing to do with iTunes, like your SGH-D407 photos, the Bluetooth will not work.
You should try to send your Samsung's photos to your computer.
And if you want them on your iPhone, put those photos on iPhoto and sync them onto your iPhone.
Good Luck!
Vincent
