Getting on WiFi Spot with Bluetooth enabled iBook! I know it's possible.

I have this in the Bluetooth forum too.
I know it's possible as I know someone who got it working.
Something about changing IP Packets and where they go.
I was wondering if I have another Mac with an Airport card can I have it say it's connection to Bluetooth enabled Mac's? If I had both of them Bluetooth enable could I do it?
Is there anyway I can connect to a WiFi network with Bluetooth?
Thanks, Internet Wiz™

is there anyway I can connect to a WiFi network with Bluetooth?
No, it's not possible.
You can use Bluetooth to connect to a Bluetooth Internet Enabled Mobile Phone and gain access that way, but there's no way to directly connect to an 802.11b/g WiFi hotspot via bluetooth.
You made the correct choice going with an Airport card. That is the proper way to connect.

  • New wifi card with Bluetooth

    Hi,
    i search for my Probook 6550b a Mini Pci Express wifi card with bluetooth.
    For the moment i have only a wifi card, with this spare part number 572509-001.
    My CPU is a Intel I5 M520.
    I found on the HP partsurfer site this card 593127-001. But the wifi is not the best on this card.
    Are there any other better cards that work?

  • HT4623 I am trying to update my iPad 32 with retina display and whenever I do it tells me that I am not connected to the Internet even though I am. I have tried several different wifi spots with the same results. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks

    Try a reset: hold down the home button along with the power button until you see the Apple, then let go.

  • HT4623 How do I get the WiFi back with the new ios6 update for Iphone 4?

    I updated to the new iOS6 last night and I can't get the WiFi to connect.  I've read today Steve Streza, lead platform developer for Pocket.com, a San Francisco app vendor, outlined the issues. "Your phone checks a page on http://Apple.com to see if your network is working. If not, you're probably on a network like a hotel/airport, where you have to agree to their terms before you can use the Wi-Fi. Then they show you the page so you can agree."
    (http://www.apple.com/library/test/success.html ...
    Passbook does not work on iPhone 4. 
    If the update does not apply to my phone then they shouldn't offer the update.  It causes too many problems.
    I want my WiFi back.  This is costing me a fortune and I think apple needs to cover these costs!

    The songs I'm trying to reload on my phone are on my PC.  These we had loaded into iTunes.  I can remove them all from the library and then add them all back one by one I imagine.  The problem I'm having is that I removed them manually from the phone, they still appear in iTunes music library yet they won't sync.  I don't want to take the time to compare the phone to my library, remove from the library what's missing on the phone and then add them all back again.  64GB (mostly music) will take a while.

  • I have just bought a car with bluetooth and want to know how to use my iphone with it

    I bought a car with bluetooth facility and want to know how to use use iphone with it

    First, you will need to navigate to the bluetooth interface in your car. Generally, this is something built into the navigation system/entertainment system. Look for an item that says either settings or communication, or bluetooth. If you are having trouble, refer to your car's manual. Next, go to settings, general, bluetooth and change the switch to on. Follow the onscreen instructions in your car until you see something like waiting for device or this is now discoverable or something like that. Your car or some sort of weird name should now appear under the devices list in the bluetooth settings. Now, the car should give you a passcode to type into the phone (it may or may not do this). Type this in and/or follow the rest of the onscreen instructions.

  • Music starts automatically with Bluetooth enabled

    Music on my iPhone starts up automatically when bluetooth is enabled in my car.  The music also starts playing on my iPhone unexpectedly, even when I am not in Bluetooth range.
    Is there any way of preventing this?  Because my music is in iCloud, I want to be able to control when music starts streaming.  This seem s to be a bug, because I do not want streaming to happen over the cell network without requesting it.

    I would restart the phone
    Restart iPhone: Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for phone to restart (no data will be lost).
    If that doesnt do it then I would restore from a backup.
    If that doesnt fix it then I would restore the phone as new (data and settings will be lost)
    Finallly I would visit an apple store and see a genius if none of the above fixes the problem

  • PC Suite stops working with Bluetooth after Laptop...

    I use PC Suite and Bluetooth to connect to my Phone. I use the Synchronise, and the Messages feature a great deal. It all works great after a reboot, and I think it's a real credit to Nokia that they provide this free and improve their standing compared to other manufacturers.
    However, the latest versions of PC Suite have taken a backward step in hardware compatibility. Previously, no matter what state my laptop was in - ie rebooted, returned from hibernate or standby, the laptop would connect to my phone over Bluetooth, and synchronizing would happen. When my phone went out of range, the connection would drop, and when it came back into range, the connection would re-establish and synchronizing would start again - wonderful!
    Now, this only works after clean reboot, and after I have manually clicked on "Get Connected". After my laptop returns from standby, if I try "Get Connected" I get the error:
    "Cannot use the connection type. Check that all the needed hardware, software and drivers are available. (Code: OpenMedia)"
    To get PC Suite working with Bluetooth after returning from standby I run a Repair, after which it works beautifully.
    Is this a known fault? I have uninstalled and re-installed PC Suite and the BT Stack as recommended in other posts to solve other issues. My configuration is:
    Operating system: Microsoft Windows XP
    Nokia PC Suite: Version 6.82.22.0
    Bluetooth Stack for Windows by Toshiba v4.00.23(D) SP2
    Bluetooth Specification: Version 2.0, 1.2, 1.1
    Many thanks...

    Thanks for your response Miksu. You have pointed me to the right place. It is the connection manager that fails to recognise the BT stack that causes my problems. This is always resolved by a repair. It seems that the order of initiation is very important which may be why Luist has started to have the problem.
    In my experience, once things stop to work, I've had to strip out any subsequent installs.
    My PCSuite also stopped working after it installed cable connection manager (or something like that) without me asking. I found it in Control Panel->Add/Remove programs. I removed it and PC Suite started to work again, so I completely removed PC Suite then re-installed, and allowed it to add the relevant devices relating to my phone (about 4 devices alltogether) but alas this did not solve my "return from standby" issue. I think I need to remove PC Suite and then Bluetooth, and maybe something else before re-installing - I'll leave that for a rainy day.
    Thanks again Miksu

  • Anyway to ignore pay per use wifi spots without disabling wifi all the time

    Whever I'm out and want to look something on the internet I often automatically pick up a signal that is pay per use. Is there anyway I can have the phone move on the edge or 3g without disabling wifi every time?

    If it joins, it means you joined before by selecting it thus accepting it. So never time near one and it connects, go into WiFi settings, click blue arrow next to that network and once on settings for that network, click Forget this network. It won't join it again until you tell it to. But note, if you do join again, you should tell it to Forget it the same way before you leave the area.
    To add more, it joins Known Networks only automatically. A network is "known" if you pick it to join once. After that it remembers and it remebers by name of the network. So anytime near a WiFi spot with the same name it assumes same network and joins. So, just remember to Forget the network for those you join if you don't want to join again.

  • Getting quite frustrated with my iPhone 4S.  Can't access WIFI and/or Bluetooth nor will my computer allow it to be a "hotspot" unless physically tethered to computer.  It started acting up after download....it also has messed up some app

    I've only had this phone since Sept. and have already had to have the speaker replaced.  NOW I can't access wifi and/or bluetooth (both are grey).  I can't use the Personal Hotspot either (and the passcode no longer shows up).  I can only access internet via the phone through the USB.  This started over the past few days (and after I updated to IOS).
    Some of my apps no longer work either...over 100+ hours of audiobooks on Audible can't be accessed as the Audible app just shuts off.
    Any recommendations on how to recify?   I'm pretty rural so downloaded anything takes going to the next town over to get a signal from the library...  and all of my searching is eating into my 5gb limit through ATT....so it is a bit irritating

    called Apple Care this a.m....new upgrade on 12/31/12 is supposed to fix the "bug"

  • I am finally buying a TV. Should I try and run my mac to the TV for streaming video or just get a wifi enabled tv?

    Also what TV is the best to get? I will not be getting cable so would like to be able to use my wireless internet or my mac to get the content to the t.v. set. I would like to be able to do this wirelessly, is that possible? Sit on the couch with my mac in my lap and command the t.v. set ten feet away? Be able to Skype with family/friends and see them on the t.v. and use the camera on my mac etc.. etc...

    The best TV to get IMO is the Sony Bravia series with anti-glare screens and their faster refresh rates.
    You can tell the anti-glare, there is no shine/reflection on the screen which causes blank spots when your trying to see a important game.
    I will not be getting cable so would like to be able to use my wireless internet or my mac to get the content to the t.v. set.
    Forget buring out your expensive Mac and Superdrive to drive the TV, get
    1: A Playstation with BlueRay (ideal!)
    2: AppleTV or Roku, (optional) only $69
    3: Airport or Airport Exterme Router or Toslink cable
    4: HDMI cable, you can get them online a heck of a lot less expensive than in the stores.
    5: Optional TV wall mount for HDTV's Much nicer having your TV up higher at eye level than looking down at it on a table.
    The Playstation will allow you to play BlueRay movies, which on your Bravia and a 5.1 -7.1 surround sound system from Harmon Kardon would make a very sweet home theater setup (I know)
    Also you install Netflix on any of #1 or #2 and for $8 a month stream all sorts of movies and TV shows, most a little dated but still good and worth a mere $8. I would go for the Roku as it's less expensive and has more TV services than the AppleTV. Both have a remote.
    Next the Airport has a stereo audio output plug which you can connect to the TV (RCA breakout cable) and stream music from your Mac via WiFi.
    If your a audiophile then connect the Toslink mini to Toslink optical on the HK surround sound system from your Mac (the stereo outport doubles as a Toslink mini) and enable the various modes to fill your room with glorious sound.
    The HK system can take 2.0 channel iTunes music and turn it into 5.1 even 7.1, althought it won't be true surround sound, the music flows from all speakers, it's really nice (and powerful) with the 100 watt speakers and 200 watt subwoofer. You get to hear the TRUE sound of your ITMS music, not the lousy iPhone/iPod quality. (crap)
    My neighbors are very nice and I only blast it when I know they are not home.
    It's bad to place undo wear and tear on a many thousand dollar Mac when you can use much less expensive, more easily, cheaper replaced items that are better tailored than a Mac to stream/power a TV it's not designed to do.
    With a Mac your likely going to want to move it, hookkng and unhooking is a pain in the behind. Not mentioning wearing out your ports, collecting dust instead of being in a case protected when not in use.

  • All of a sudden my personal hot spot isn't working. It only comes up with Bluetooth and USB connection options. Why would that be?

    All of a sudden my personal hot spot isn't working. It only comes up with Bluetooth and USB connection options. Why would that be?

    No I can not turn on the wifi either. I can get on the web on my phone and Facebook etc on phone but no wifi or hotspot

  • Ipad 3 still has wifi problems with ios 8.1 when bluetooth is turned on

    IOS 8 has created nothing but problems with my Ipad 3. None of the Apple Updates has fixed the problems. IOS 8.02 was almost no wifi until I realized that I could turn off the bluetooth and then I had fast Wifi again. The new IOS 8.1 improved this very little. I tried the bluetooth on and got half the speed I should. Turn The bluetooth off and I get normal speed on Wifi.
    Apple makes it next to impossible to report problems to them, so I will post complaint here and hope they review comments. So far everything else seems to be working other than the Wifi issue. Wish I could just go back to IOS 7.

    Ever since upgrading to IOS 8, including IOS 8.01, 8.02 and 8.1 I had the wellknown Wifi issue. wifi speeds dropping from 120mbps to about 2mbps @ 5ghz in within a minute after connecting to the wifinetwork. often i couldn't even surf at all. but the wifi signal was always strong. With every update i was hoping for a solution from Apple but it never came. Tried everything that can be found on the internet. Resetting the network settings. Disabling "wifi networking" under Settings > Privacy > Location Services > System Services. Reinstalling my Ipad from scratch Used different routers and different setups. Automatic ip's and fixed ip's and different dns servers just to be sure. Nothing worked. The only workaround is switching to a 2.4Ghz network. So i was doing some tests and found THE solution, but i don't like it all. One of the biggest changes in IOS 8 is the ability to use airplay without a network. by using a wifi connection in combination with bluetooth. And here lies the problem. I disconnected al my Airplaydevices from my network. Denon AV-amplifier AVR2113, Pioneer wireless speaker XW SMA3 and an airport express. Et voila... My Ipad is back to normal. fast... no very fast internet connection and stable as ****. Just like iOS 7 was. Working with it for a couple of hours now without any trouble at all. But do i connect one Airplay device to the network the wifi is not stable anymore and extremely slow again on my ipad air. My Macbook running mac os x mavericks doesn't have these issues, neither does my iphone 5S. and they are also on the same 5ghz network. So I can create and recreate the issue and create a work around... Apple please come with a solution that makes me able to use airplay an ipad (on ios8) on a 5ghz network! like in iOS 7!!!!
