Connecting iphone and macbook

Is there a way to connect my iphone and macbook pro so I can use my iphone as a modem instead of buying an aircard?

Not currently, there may be the option for "tethering" come 3.0 update but no options so far wait for the 3.0 update and then check with your carrier to make sure that they allow tethering as i understand it's a bit of a sore point in the US don't know if it's the same in Canada but i think "rogers" (is that right) allows tethering for capable handsets. Still a bit of a moot point till 3.0 becomes available to consumers

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If home sharing isn't enabled on the Apple TV, you will need the aluminium remote that came with it to do so.

'connection timed out' on both iphone and macbook air

The box for the internet is in my housemates room so I can't get in to restart it (if that would fix it). They're all gone for a week so I can't check with them to see if they have the same problem. I'm asuming they would since it's happening on both my iphone and macbook. But what can I do to fix it? I've looked on line but can't get anythign to solve my problem. I've deleted the network from the computer. That doesn't help. I'm at a McDonald's fixing to solve the problem. Please help me, I really need internet for some work I have to do this weekend. Please make it simple because I'm not good with computers.
I bought my macbook air in march 2012, I think it came with Lion.
Thanks a lot.

Hi there,
There may be a conflict between the network settings and your devices. I would recommend taking a look at the article below and comparing that to your routers current settings.

How can I safe my data back from the Time capsule to iphone and macbook?

Hi,
last weekend we were robbed while being on vacation and iphones and macbook air got stolen. Good thing was that at home we had a time capsule and our normal macbook. As soon as we get the new iphones and the new airbook we want to get our itunes and apps and datas back to the iphones and airbook ... can somebody tell us how to re-safe or back-safe stuff from the time capsule back to the equipment?
Thank you ... I feel so "naked" without my phone :-(

Sorry about your loss. Follow the directions here to use Time Capsule to restore your new Air to the state your old Air was in when stolen. When you first connect your new phones, you'll be given the option of restoring from the backup of your old phones or setting up as new. Restore from your previous backups, followed by syncing your content back to your phones. You should be good to go. Maintaining current backups makes this a piece of cake.

Time capsule only allows 2 devices at a time as a router. If I am using the iphone and macbook pro, it bumps the roku offline. Any suggestions?

At a guess you have cable internet connection.. please confirm exactly what you have.. two public IPs are allowed by some ISP.. once you use up the two IPs, there are no more..
Make sure the TC is in router mode. And to get it working you probably need to shut off the cable modem.. if it has battery backup remove the battery.. try 5min off .. if not long enough try 20min off. then overnight. The ISP equipment must reset to allow a new MAC address to capture the IP.
If you cannot work it out.. plug in the old router again.. and set the TC to bridge mode.. which I suspect it is in now.. and plug it into the main router.. it should work fine like that.

IPhone and MacBook Pro but only have one Apple account

Brand new to the MacBook Pro world. First Apple laptop (or Apple computer at all for that matter) so of course I have some questions. I think I am correct in saying that basically each Apple device has to be separate and apart from another even if they reside in the same household. Meaning that each one has to be logged on to a separate and unique Apple account and email address for things like Facetime and iMessage to work properly. So, with that said......If I personally own the iPhone and MacBook Pro but only have one Apple account how can I make them both work separately and independent of each other??? The problem I've noticed is that Facetime and iMessage do not work and conflict with each of the two devices.

Hi BigDisMe,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Congratulations, and welcome to the Mac World. Actually, you can use an Apple ID, together with iCloud to make your devices work together. Both devices can be connected to the same Apple ID, and use Facetime, Messages, and email together.
As long as both of your devices are updated to the latest OS, OS X 10.9 Mavericks for your MacBook and iOS 7.0.4 for your iPhone, you can:
On Mac:
     1. Open System Preferences-iCloud
     2. There should be a button somewhere that says, "Add Account".
     3. Use your Apple ID to log in.
     4. Make sure to enable your Messages, Facetime, and email accounts.
     5. There is no Step 5.
On iPhone:
     1. Open Settings-iCloud.
     2. There should be a button somewhere that says, "Add Account".
     3. Use your Apple ID to log in.
     4. Make sure to enable your Messages, Facetime, and email accounts.
     5. There is no Step 5.
Good Luck,

HT204291 Airplay Icon lost from both my iPhone and Macbook Air

I've lost the Airplay Icon from both my iPhone and Macbook Air, so I assume there's something up with my AppleTV setup (connected via LAN ).
Airplay was working fine until recently.I've checked all settings and they seem ok. Anyone any further ideas?
All other functions work ok, streaming video off the net , playing iTunes (installed on Macbook Air) from AppleTV etc
I've just lost Airplay from 2 devices.
AppleTV was updated in the last few days, but the Icon was lost before that.
Thanks in anticipation.
Doug

OK. Solved !
A simple reboot of my modem/router (the fibre one from BT - BT Infinity) fixed this for
both my iPhone and Macbook Air.
I can also mirror my iPhone screen to the AppleTV now too.
(mirroring only worked from my Macbook Air before)
That must be a new feature. Excellent !
I guess I should have tried that before, but maybe this will help someone
Happy Easter

Sync mail on iPhone and MacBook with Shaw internet

Shaw provides my internet connection and I can't sync the mail function on my iPhone and MacBook using their pop server. All of the incoming messages are delivered to both the iPhone and MacBook, but if I delete or file an email on one device, I would like it to do the same on the other as well. Does anyone know of a work around for this? The Shaw support site doesn't help and the Apple phone support didn't know hoiw to resolve this either.

Thanks for the quick reply. I checked with Shaw here in Victoria, BC. They don't have an IMAP service and their Exchange server only works on mobile devices. They are working on upgrades to their Exchange server but their customer support guy indicated that it could be several months before they are completed. So anybody in Western Canada that gets their internet from Shaw is out of luck for a while. The only solution for now is that you have to delete on both devices and any filing you do won't sync either.

Only one of my earbuds on my bose headphones works with my ipad, iphone and macbook- if I hold them there the right earbud will work, but for the life of me, I can't get them to both work. Why is this? And is Apple doing anything about this?

While Apple's headphones have (finally) admittedly gotten better of late, I still prefer the much more comfortable headphones & sound quality that Bose makes and that I spent the money for.

Looking for a Dictation App for my Iphone and MacBook Pro. Want to send all dictation to Word. I have Dragon. Should I purchase Dragon Premium or Dragon for Mac?

Want to send all dictation to Word.
I have Dragon. Should I purchase Dragon Premium or Dragon for Mac?

Care to share which OS you are using?
OS has its own dictation program.
Should I purchase Dragon Premium or Dragon for Mac?
Only you can make that determination. Read the system requirements for both and read the reviews.

What setting will make sync make my iPhone and MacBook Pro contact cards alike?

What setting will make sync make my iPhone and MacBook Pro contact cards alike? I've been having to key in changes to both devices because sync doesn't sync.

If you really are running Mac OS X 10.7.5 and iOS 6.1.3, you should be able to sync through iTunes, but in current releases you need to use a central contact service like iCloud.
Did you have it working and then not working, or have you never had it working?
Are you trying to use iTunes, iCloud, or something else?

Can't synchronise mails of iphone and macbook pro

I receive my mails on my iphone and Macbook pro. If I download the mails on my iphone first and I open them, they will not be downloaded on my macbook pro. If I download them on my iphone but I don’t open them they will downloaded on my ibook pro. What do I have to change on my settings in order to have the syncronized?
Thanks

That's normal behavior for a POP3 email account. If your email provider supports IMAP, set the account up as an IMAP account on both the Mac and the iPhone. IMAP supports synchronization between clients and the server. POP3 does not.

Can i connect imac and macbook by usb?

can i connect imac and macbook pro by using USB clable? i just want pass my files and music from macbook to imac.
thank you

You can't connect both computers by USB. The easiest way is to connect them using a FireWire cable (if your iMac and your MacBook Pro have got FireWire ports), and put your MacBook in target disk mode (start your MacBook holding the T key).
Doing this, the iMac will detect the MacBook's hard disk as an external disk, so you can easily access to your files from Finder and copy the data you want to the iMac's hard disk

ICal and contact duplicates in my iPhone and MacBook

Hi,
I have seen other discussions related to this subject but I can't seem to fix it. I have duplicates in my iPhone and MacBook of both iCal events and contacts. I am probably doing something wrong because if I add an event on my MacBook it will appear (fast enough!) in my iPhone, but it will not work the other way. Same thing with contacts. It is a bit of a nightmare and I would like to be able to have things once and automatically synced... if possible, of course, but I assumed this is what iCloud was about.
Can anyone with this stuff under control give me a hand?
Much appreciated

Your iPhone can take a screen-capture by holding down the bottom 'HOME' button
for 2-3 seconds, and then depressing the top 'RESET' button momentarily while
continuing to hold down 'HOME'. You will see a simulated white 'flash' on the iPhone
screen, and the screen capture will appear as a photo in your latest Camera Roll.
Unintended shots can be deleted from the Camera Roll just like any photo you might
take using the iPhone's camera.
