Difficulty syncing and sharing 3G/GPRS connection with NokiaN75 post 10.5.2

Prior to 10.5.2 (Feb. '08) I was easily able to use isync and share my Nokia's 3G/GPRS connection with the MacBook Pro. Whenever I needed to access the Internet or check my email, I could easily and simply establish the connection with the phone via Bluetooth and use the phone's access to the Internet. While not blazing fast, it was quicker than dial up and worked well when traveling and when you didn't want to pay $12.95 for 24 hour access...
Since 10.5.2 I believe, I have had difficulty syncing - I get error messages saying that the synchronization failed. I can no longer connect and share the 3G connection, - an error message about PPP...Can anyone suggest a work around or perhaps Apple's engineering can put in a fix in 10.5.3??? Downloading the isync plug in from Nokia had no benefit...Thank you in advance...

Actually I was answering Paul who does have an iMac but it doesn't matter one way or the other - the same answer applies. Odd that you have the same settings in security and sharing but it doesn't work in one direction. Are you sure you are using the right password? Have you attempted sharing with a different account on that computer?

    As long as you do not enable Sharing of any kind (System Preferences > Sharing) no other computer can connect with yours. Also make sure you have your wireless network protected with a WPA2 password.
    That's all I can suggest without knowing what OS version you are running (you are not running iOS as that is for iDevices).

  • For a LAN network in my office, all laptops are Windows based and the internet is through LAN and other computer get connected with adhoc without the router. My Apple computer nor my iPhone 5 get connected. How do I connect to this Internet?

    In the office, All my colleges use Windows laptops. The Internet connection is out of LAN wire installed in one of the computers. Others use Internet by creating adhoc connection. However none of the apple products are being able to connect to this connection.How can i connect my MacBook Pro or iPhone 5 to this Internet network?

    Just how is the one computer connecting to the internet? What type of connection does the office have, DSL, Cable or is it a Data connection through a Cell phone provider.
    I doubt all other computer are doing Ad-Hoc but are probably Sharing the Internet connection with Internet Connection Sharing from that one Windows base PC.
    All you khave to do is Connect to that same WiFi SSID name and have the correct password for it.

    Are you losing the connection to iTunes on the iPad or the computer? You are saying that iTunes is updated. Of course iTunes is updated when you update the iOS software. That's a no brainer.
    If you mean that iTunes is updated on the computer, that has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with downloading and updating apps on the iPad itself so changing the date on the iPad, signing in and out of the stores on the iPad .... Doing any of that on the iPad would have nothing to do with iTunes on your computer.
    If .... you have not been able to connect to the iTunes or app stores at all on the iPad - try this ...
    Settings>Privacy>Location Services>System Services (swipe to the bottom of the page to find this)>Location Based iAds>Off.
    If the downloads are stalled or "waiting" - try these suggestions.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
    If you can't connect at all - you can also try rebooting your router. Unplug it from power for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again.

    Hi, I’ve recently bought an iPad2 and can’t get connected with AppStore or iTunes, when I tap on these icons a grey page pops up saying is loading but never opens the page, no failure message is displayed, it just keep saying is loading.
    Apparently it is not an issue with wifi since Safari, You Tube and Maps work well, I’ve tried some of the tips, e.g. log off/on my Id, change password but no one worked.
    Your help will be highly appreciated.
    Thank you.
    Luis.

    Try a reset. Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the red slider.

  • TS1702 My brand new iphone5 will not connect to my home wifi even though my ipad and old iphone do connect with no problem. What can I do?

    My brand new iphone5 will not connect to my home wifi even though it recognizes it. My ipad and my old iphone4s connect with no problem. Any thoughts?

    Although your other devices connect okay, it would be worth resetting your router by switching if off for disconnecting it from mains power for 2 minutes and then switch it on again.
    Good luck and do report back.

    Sorry to hear you are having issues, but there are 2 ways you can print from that device.
    The first one is to simply email photos or documents to your printers email address by attaching them to a new message.
    The other option is to download the HP ePrint Home and Biz app from Google Play. The app is free and should allow you to print pictures and documents to the printer with ease. I have added a link below on how to get started with this app.

    i bought itunes match yesterday and i can not connect with the server. Error 4010 appear every tiem when i want to entry on itunes match.
    Thanks

    Here are some things to try:
    Close itunes
    Check your internet settings.
    Control Panel – Internet Options – Advanced
    Check SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0
    Uncheck “Check for server certificate revocation (requires restart)”
    Click Apply
    Click Okay
    Open itunes and try again
    And, you don't need to turn off the firewall, just add itunes and itunes helper to your security software firewall.

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

    I still have problems with getting my website online. I have defined my server. Then I did the test and there was a connection via FTP. I put my files on the external server and there is a connection with the external server. But when I check to see my website online (with Firefox, Explorer, Chrome browser) I always get the message 'Forbidden, You don't have permission to access / on this server.' Can somebody help me please? I have to get my website online..Thank you!

    Hello Els,
    it's well known, that in all these cases you describe I'm not a friend of a detailed Troubleshooting (I see Nancy#s smile already).
    To be able to be independent in all this things It is one of the reasons why I prefer an external FTP program. The difficulties with which you have to fight encourage me in this opinion, not least because we always search for experts, we don't charge a "jack of all trades".
    To manage several websites or to upload my files and sometimes for the opposite way, for a necessary download from my server or to use a "a site-wide synch", I'm using FileZilla. It simply looks easier for me to keep track of all operations precisely and generate or reflect easily the desired tree structure.
    Above all, FileZilla has a feature (translation from my German FileZilla) called "compare file list". Here it's possible to use file size or modification time as a criterion. There is also the possibility to "hide identical files", so that only these files which you want to redact remain visible.
    And even if it means you have to install a new program, I am convinced that there is an advantage. Here is the link to get it and where you can read informations about how it works:
    http://filezilla-project.org/ and http://wiki.filezilla-project.org/Tutorial#Using_the_site_manager
    Mac: Mac OS X (Use: Show additional download options)
    http://filezilla-project.org/download.php
    Of course, you also need all the access data to reach your server and for MIME issues, you should contact your web host/provider.
    Good luck!
    Hans-Günter
    P.S.
    Since I use two screens, the whole thing became even more comfortable.

  • My two iMacs frequently go offline when I have our iPad and two iPhones-5 connected with Airport Express (2nd edition). If I disable WiFi on my three "i" devices no problem. Any thoughts on this?

    My two iMacs frequently go offline when I have my iPad and two iPhones-5 connected with Airport Express (2nd edition). If I disable WiFi on my three "i" devices the offline problem stops. Any thoughts on this?

    .....doesn't that seems to suggest the modem?
    That is what I have suggested....twice now. From posts above:
    My opinion would be that it is likely not the ISP, unless you have complete loss of Internet service for all devices at the same time......it is the Comtrend device....
    and
    I believe that the problem lies with the modem, and not the ISP signal.
    Your ISP will likely have a different opinion, though. Please keep us posted on your progress.

  • Are making, editing, and sharing slideshows any easier with 11?

    Are making, editing, and sharing slideshows any easier with 11?
    I have 09 and a lot of people seem to prefer it to 11.
    In 09 I gave up on trying to figure out making slideshows that fit the timing of a song and could then be sent to youtube.
    I know it could be done but it wasn't easy like sending movies to youtube from imovie 09.

    It's little changed. If you're timing cutting slideshows against a track in a precise way it will always require a timeline, so you will always be better off with a video editor.
