Having trouble tethering using iphone...
hello, i am trying to tether from my iphone 4 to my imac. i am running OS 10.5.8, my phone is running 6.1.3.
i was able to get the phone to work and i've connected via wifi and usb. in my network settings wifi says "connected" and when i plug in the usb that also says "connected". on my phone the connections are confirmed. the problem is nothing works! i can't load anything from the internet or get email.
any suggestions?
You can't resolve it using bluetooth because it is not a feature you can use here are the supported files for bluetooth http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3647
YOu will have to contact your carrier and enable personal hotspot as suggested by questionaire.

Is anyone else having trouble syncing an iphone using bluetooth? I get a message that says pared , but not connected.
Everyone!
You can't syncing your iPhone via blutooth. BT is only for hands-free and tethering. You can sync via cable or wi-fi.only. -

Connect the device to iTunes and restore from the most current backup.
If the issue continues, restore as new. -

I'm having trouble connecting my iphone to my itunes on my computer
So for christmas I got an iPhone and currently, I'm having trouble connecting my iPhone to my iTunes on my computer. If I get on my computer and open my iTunes, I can use it perfectly fine but once I tried to connect my phone to it, it told me the software needed to be updated before it would work with my phone. I went to the website and tried downloading the updated version 10 times but every time it told me it couldn't connect with an apple device or something. So then I tried just going to my downloads and stuff and moving the actual song straight to my phone but it would always tell me my device has ended or has been disconnected. All I'm trying to do is move some songs onto my phone from my computer. They weren't purchased straight from iTunes so it's not showung up in my "purchased" on my phone. (I think I got them from amazon and some are cds that I my computer that I got years ago. Maybe thats why they don't show up in the purchased?) Anyway, how can I fix this? I have a windows computer if that can help at all. Thanks!!!
Also, I just opened my iTunes on my computer then plugged my phone to the computer and a box popped up saying "This iPhone cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device is not started"
I have no idea what that means.
I don't have that option on the side that says what device is connected so I can't sync or anything. -
If you mean you are having trouble activating your iPhone after
updating to iOS 6:
iOS 6.0.1
Generally this is a sign that the iPhone had previously been
hacked/modified/jailbroken and the update relocked it to the
original wireless carrier. If this is the case, only that wireless
carrier can unlock your iPhone. You must contact them to see
if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
My phone is from USA and unlocked version and I paid 750 USD.
Where did you acquire this iPhone?
USA
What wireless carrier did you use before this problem?
I used BSNL - India previously. After I get problem, I used Mobily -Saudi Arabia again I got problem and I am trying to use Airtel - India.
Does the app Cydia appear on your iPhone?
What does It mean?
What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>About=>Carrier?
Airtel 13.0It would be better for troubleshhoting if you posted back to your original question.... here

If the iPhone still has Warranty or AppleCare, then it will be covered at Apple. If no coverge, time to buy new charger if you think you need one, as the PC seems to work for you.

I am having trouble activating my iPhone 4 could you help me?
I am having trouble activating my iPhone 4 could you help me?
Yes. AT&T has to authorize the unlock. However, they can not do so in the store. There is a process that must be followed involving restoring the phone in iTunes to complete the unlock process. How did you use the phone in between the time you bought it and the time AT&T authorized unlocking it?
WHEN did AT&T authorize unlocking it? AT&T did not begin offering unlocking until last Spring if I recall correctly. -
