How can I share my iPhone's wireless connection with my Mac?

My iPhone is the only device I have that connects to the internet. I cannot use the personal hotspot option because I don't have the necessary plan, nor will I be getting it since it is extremely expensive. How can I share my iPhone's connection?

A different question then: Can I create a functioning wifi network from my Mac?
Yes.
-> OS X Mountain Lion: Create a computer-to-computer network
Note: This will not allow you to connect your Mac to the internet via your iPhone (since you need a personal hotpost to share the internet with yrou Mac).

  • How can I synchronize two iphones and two ipods on one MAC

    How can I synchronize two iphones and two ipods on one MAC. My wife and i each have our own iPods and iPhones but share one MAC.

    What do you mean by synchronize; music, apps, calendars, email, etc? Do you two share the same Apple ID on all devices? An Apple ID can support up to 5 computers and many iDevices.
    I hope this helps.

  • How can I delete the history of wireless connections?  Need to delete it entirely, as I have a new airport extreme and I named the network the same as it had previously been,

    How can I delete the history of wireless connections?  I got a new apple extreme, and I kept that same network name as I previously had with the LinkSys.   Now the Mac won't automatically connect to the network.  Genious Bar fixed my Pro, they said that you have to delete all the history, not just the network name.  I wasn't at the Genious Bar to see how they did it, now I need to fix the Mac.  Appreciate any help!

    Yes, so...
    I have also closed iTunes, reset network settings on the iPad, then shut down and restarted the iPad. Still, I end up with greyed out rectangular icons for all the movies I've ever streamed from my Mac Mini to my ipad via my home wireless router.
    Again, I have watched all the way to the end of the movie, selcted the movie in iTunes and chosen "mark as watched", and then deleted it in ITunes.
    Any ideas?

  • How can i use my iPhone 4 and connect via bluetooth with my macpro

    how can i use my iPhone 4 and connect via bluetooth with my macpro

    The only way that you can connect your iPhone to the mac is to use it for a "Wi-fi hotspot" meaning that you can use the celluar connectivity of your phone to connect your computer to the interent.
    Do you mean a MacBook Pro of the desktop MacPro?

    Hello, sherlockian17. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    Here are the best two resources I could find that would walk you through the syncing process.

    Thanks but this is not what I am looking for.  I am looking for the settings - setting that allows our iphone to auto sync with your mac book when you make a puchase on either device.
    You aren't going to sync with my MacBook when I make a purchase.
    And you are not going to autosync your iPod with the MacBook unless you tell it to sync or plug it in.
    You can enable Automatic downloads when you make a purchase.
    iTunes settings > Store.
    When you make a purchase, it will automatically download that purchase to devices set up the same way.
    This is not the same as autosyncing your device to your computer (as you first asked).

  • How can i share a slideshow that i made with 8 people can i email it to them. it contains 2 200 pictures

    How can i share a slideshow containing @ 200 pictures and music with 8 friends? can i email it to them?

    Export it to the Desktop using the File -> Export commad. This makes a movie of it and you can then share that.
    I would caution you that as movie files are very large you might be best uploading to a sharing site or service like Dropbox and sending them a link

  • How can I share (e-mail) NEF files shot with a Nikon d5100 in Lightroom 4.4?

    I am new to shooting RAW NEF and then sharing them in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4.4. How do you share (e-mail) NEF files shot with a Nikon
    D5100 that have been downloaded into Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4.4.? Isn't there someway to convert to JPEG for sharing. I have 50th wedding
    anniversary photos taken and want to share with family and can't. Thank You for any assistance on this problem.

    If you use the inbuilt email option your NEFs would be automatically converted to Jpeg, in accordance with the settings you choose bottom left of the email dialog box (or you can setup your own specific settings).
    Alternatively you could export to Jpeg, then attach the exported files to an email outside Lightroom.
    Or you could upload them to a web hosting site such as Flickr or Picasa, or maybe use Dropbox or similar.
    Bottom line is there are lots of ways of sharing your pictures with your family.

  • How can I share the DVD on my iMac with a PC ?

    I have a tablet PC with no DVD and I would like to share the DVD on my iMac with the tablet PC. I have configured everything to "see" my PC from my iMac and my iMac to my PC, and I can see the shared folders, but there is no way of seeing the DVD in my iMac from the PC. I have turned on "DVD sharing" in my System Preferences. Does anybody has any clue about what I'm doing wrong ?
    Thanks for your help
    Joan

    Thanks very much for your suggestion, but in the summary at the top of the page you mention we can read:
    "You can use a DVD or CD via another computer's optical drive by enabling DVD or CD sharing. You might want to do this if your Apple computer did not come with an optical drive and if you don't have an external Apple USB SuperDrive."
    Thus, I understand that the procedure explained there is to share a DVD on a PC with a Mac, but I want to do the oposite : to share a Mac DVD with a PC....
    I have read somewhere that Mac DVDs are not intended to be shared with Windows machines, but I have got no "official" (that is, Apple endorsed) confirmation of this...

  • How can I find exact username if I connected with sysdba privilege?

    I granted sysdba privilge to a database user. I can connect that user as sysdba. From that users session, 'show user' command showing "SYS" and also username from v$session is also showing "SYS". How can I find actual username used for connecting the database as sysdba?

    But my requirement is that in our production system auditors want to give separate username for each administrators (they are not recommending sys and system).
    Normal dba privilege is not a problem. But for sysdba privilege every users are showing the user "SYS". How we can I identify which user is login to the database for a particular work if they connected as sysdba. How can I find which user did that (not just want the username "SYS", because all the administrators are identified by sys if they are connected as sysdba). If auditing is enabled how can I find the exact username. Because we are planning to give sysdba privilege to some of the administrators.
    Also, is there any option to find the username, if one user is initiate shutdown of the database?First Please close the thread and keep questioning in only one thread.
    then do not connect as sysdba

  • Can I share my iMac's internet connection with my Touch?

    I have a DSL modem and do not have a wifi network setup. Using Lion, can I still share my iMac's internet connection with my Touch?
    If so can you give me step by steps? Will this be something that I can turn off and on without interfering with my regular ethernet internet connection?
    Thanks. Asking this for a friend who is scared that she will somehow mess up her existing internet connection if she tries to set this up. She
    called AppleCare to get them to walk her through this and they denied any knowledge of the ability to do this. Huh?

    OK. Remember this is just a form of texting, so it's not easy to discern whether a question is explicit or rhetorical. Sometimes you have to give the reader a clue.

  • How can I share the music on my ipad with my imac using home sharing?

    I’ve been trying to share the music on my ipad with my imac. I've set my apple ID account on both of them but I can't get any of the songs I purchased on my ipad to my imac. Even though, when I click my albums it shares the music on my imac to  my ipad. the reason why I couldn't do this before was that I had recently purchased my ipad and created a new account that was different from the account on my imac. so can I use home sharing on itunes with my ipad and imac? and if not then how else could I share the music on my ipad to the itunes on my imac?

    iOS: Setting up Home Sharing on your device - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4557 - "With Home Sharing in iOS 4.3 or later, you can stream your entire iTunes library over your home Wi-Fi network from your Mac or PC right to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch."
    The above makes it sound like it is one way, computer to mobile device.  Perhaps something below says differently.
