Connecting Ipad to internet from Macbook Pro

Urgent help needed to connect my iPad to internet.I do not have wifi but have a 3G USB card to access internet from my Macbook Pro.I need to connect my iPad to internet to download stuff.Can someone tell me how to use the Mac's internet sharing to connect the iPad? I tried a few methods listed online but it did not work.I am using Mountain Lion.

Using internet sharing I was able to share the connection & my iPad recognizes it & connects to it. I even see the check mark on the left of the connection name with an i button on the right.However safari is unable to connect to the internet on my iPad. Do I need to do something else like a username password? The http proxy is set to off on the iPad.

  • Mirroring Internet from MacBook Pro to apple TV

    Im thinking of buying the latest Apple TV, and want to replace cable. Between Itunes, Netflix and HuluPlus, I would have almost everything minus a few shows. If I'm watching something on the Internet on my MacBook Pro (running Lion), can I mirror it to my Apple TV? That was something the older model couldn't do, and if it still can't, I'll just stick with my Roku player.

    Mirroring from your MAc to ATV(2nd, 3rd gen) is coming in the next OS X(10.8) update and should only be $29 bucks. I and numerous other people want this feature. Sadly your going to have to wait until Mid summer for it. I've personally already ditched cable.

  • Help needed to somehow link ipad to internet via macbook pro's ethernet

    Hi all
    i have just picked up a new iPad 64gb wifi+3g.
    I work on a ship where i have a slow but reasonable ethernet connection to the internet.
    what i would like to do is use the MBP as a wifi hotspot or via usb cable to share the internet connection.
    I have trolled the internet for help on this and managed ( i am pretty new to this ) to find out about sharing the internet settings either by aiport which i asusme is wifi and also usb iphone cable.
    When i activate the airport the ipad sees the network and connects with all bars but if i try to connect to the internet in safari or bbc news app etc i get "not connected to the internet message"
    can anyone help with idiots guide for settings i should be using on both MBP and iPad to do this correctly?
    All help greatly appreciated.
    Rgds

    Hi
    I have my MBP connected to the internet via ethernet cable and this is working ok.
    I then went into settings and shared the internet by ticking airport / wifi and usb iphone cable. Both together and individually.
    i setup a network and gave it a "test" name with and without wep 5 digit password and with and without firewall.
    the ipad sees the "test" network and asks to join and i have selected this both with and without password.
    Ipad then shows full bars on strength but no internet connection.
    I have yet to work out how to do the connection on the iphone usb cable so nothing to go on there.
    I will try again and make a note of the IP addresses on both and post them to see what you think.
    As far as i can follow i seem to be doing it all correctly unless making a simple mistake along the way.
    cheers

  • Using an HDMI cable to connect to a monitor from Macbook Pro, but no sound

    I just purchased a HP2159 HD monitor, and hooked it up to my macbook pro via an HDMI cable, but there is no sound. Can anyone help me?

    What do you mean by "properly setup?" There is no setup. Just plug it in.

  • Create the internet network from MacBook Pro (Aircard) to iPhone and iPad

    I would like to create the internet network from MacBook Pro (that used Aircard) to iPhone and iPad. I already turned on the internet sharing, but could not create the internet network. Please let me know how to solve this problem.

    Couldn't you attach your iPhone to your computer and upload and add your iPhone Contacts to your iTunes Contacts and then sync the iPhone? Add one unique contact and calendar entry to your computer. You should then get the option to merge.

  • How to add my video library to iPad g3 from MacBook Pro?

    How to add my video library to iPad g3 from MacBook Pro?

    What sort of videos are they, and what app do you want to sync them to ? If they were taken with your camera and they are in a format supported by the iPad, then you could sync them to the Photos app - with the iPad connected and selected on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes, you can use the Photos tab on the right-hand side of iTunes to sync photos and videos (there is an 'include videos' tickbox on that tab) to the Photos app.
    Or you can sync them to the Videos app. If you can add them to your iTunes library (File > Add To Library) you can then use Movies tab (instead of the Photos tab) to sync them to the Videos app. If you can add them to your library but they don't sync over because they aren't in a supported format then try doing Advanced > Create iPad Version and then try syncing those versions.

    How do i put apps from my iPad 2 onto my macbook pro?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    If you mean to back them up, just connect the device to iTunes and sync.
    If you mean to use, you can't, those apps will only run on a mobile device.

    Depends which iMac exactly and your network setup, you can go into System Preferences and under the Sharing pane you can enable internet sharing from ethernet (or whereever you get your internet from) to Wi-Fi.

    How do I sync contacts and calendar from macbook pro to ipad2?

    I have the same problem and have not been able to get contacts transferred from my MacBook Pro to my iPad 2.  I have checked "sync contacts", when it does the sync it says it is syncing contacts, but the address book on the iPad remains empty.  I tried checking the box under "advanced" that says to replace the contacts information on the iPad, sync again, same result—an empty address book on the iPad.  Any suggestions?

  • How to sync photos from MacBook Pro to iPad 3?

    How to sync photos from MacBook Pro to iPad 3 without it automatically deleting previously synced photos, or replacing them with new ones?

    How can I create albums in the Photos app on the iPad
    Photos that were taken with the iPad (or any photos in the camera roll) can be deleted right on the iPad. Tap the trash can icon in the top right corner if you are viewing the pho,to in full screen, or if you are viewing as thumbnails - tap the arrow in the upper right corner - tap the photos that you want to delete and then tap - Delete.
    Photos that were synced from your computer using iTunes can only be deleted by de-selecting them from the folder from where they were synced -  and then re-syncing.
