How do i get a wifi connection between iphone and iMac?

I downloaded the app "CityMaps2Go". Some of the maps I need are bigger than 20MB and Apple doesn't allow to download that amount over a regular 3G telephone connection. "CityMaps2Go" is asking me to connect via Wifi to download bigger maps. But I have no Wifi right now here at home available. My iMac runs with DSL6000 from Deutsche Telekom (High Speed Internet). Even tough my router has WLAN available, it is not konfigured for Apple hardware (I guess, never worked) But the Internet connection for my iMac is very fast, so no problem there. Here my question: While my iMac is online and connected, can I somehow connect my iphone via wifi to my iMac, so I can download those bigger maps from "CityMaps2Go"??? Thank you!

Just download the updates via iTunes on your Mac and then sync your iPhone to update them.
You cannot simply create a Wi-Fi connection between your computer and your iPhone, you must have a Wi-Fi router or access point to connect to.

WiFi connectivity between iPhone and MacBook Pro

Hello.
I was wondering if someone can lend a hand, here. I looked at some of the other posts on a similar problem, but figured I'd just confuse the issue. Here's my problem.
I'm using a 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro with 8GB and 1067 MHz DDR3. Running 10.8.2 I'm using a recording suite known as Digital Performer 7.24. I have an iPhone 4 with an app called DP Control, that talks to the recording software on the MacBook -or it's supposed to. The app basically has some of the keys on the MacBook software side of things like rewind, fast forward, record, pause etc. It allows you to step away from the laptop, and enable the laptop software. For example: If you're sitting at a drumset for instance, you can enable recording by hitting keystrokes on the iphone app, rather than hitting record on your laptop, and running back to the drumset -you get it. Anway, the laptop and the iphone don't talk to each other. I'm thinking this has something to do with my MacBook and not the app. I have an iMac that can see the app no problem. It's with the MacBook that i have the issues with. I contacted the software developer, but they couldn't help me. I even contacted the developer of the app itself, and to no avail. I figure this is something on the Mac side of things that hopefully someone here can help me with.
The app connects to the computer via wifi and NOT Bluetooth. So bluetooth has been disabled. I have also deactivated the firewall per the app's instructions, and to no avail. I'm guessing it has to do something with security settings somewhere, or some sort of deep-rooted permission thing. I don't know.
The only thing I can think of is that at one point, i did delete a user and had to start over with the whole admin privileges thing. I don't know if this would be significant or not.
Thanks for reading!

Well, it seems like I fixed it by enabling port forwarding in advanced, enabling zero config in device directory, and then restarting both devices. Not sure exactly what it did, but now I can wifi sync. So I'm pretty happy!

How can I avoid syncing network preferences between iPhone and iMac (mini) ?

In my current setup, my iMac mini and iPhone synchronise the WIFI networks that I joined on my Phone. I would like to turn this feature off. I want my iMac to always connect to the same network. I would like to keep using the other iCloud services though (Mail, Calendar, Etc...)
Can anyone point me to the settings or configuration steps to either fix the wifi network on an iMAc or to switch this feature off in iCloud?
Background:
I run Yosemite 10.10.1 on an iMac mini and IOS 8.0.2 on my iPhone 5S
What I tried:
Manually removed the irrelevant networks from the wifi list under System Preferences... | Network | Advanced...
Did not work, Networks got included in the list again once I join them on my iPhone.

Just download the updates via iTunes on your Mac and then sync your iPhone to update them.

How do i set up calendar sync between iphone and iMac?

My iphone syncs nicely between my ipad and imac, but my wife's does not and, far as I can tell, they're set up the same way. What are the basic steps so I can get her wet up - WITHOUT losing her current iphone calendar data?

Have them copy their contact to Exchange/Office365 contact. All contact at once place. Once you have all contact copied or imported to Office 365 they will be synced to Andorid or another mobile device. You can use Ms Outlook to drag and Drop the contacts.

How do i get a wifi connection at home for my ipad from a imac

how do i get a wifi connection at home for my ipad from a imac

If you have a wired connection to the iMac and you are asking about using the iMac for the Internet connection for the iPad, you will need to use Internet Sharing on the Mac.
No clue which OS version you run on the Mac, but here is a link to help with 10.6 and this will get you started. You can Google " Internet sharing with Mac OS ...." and come up with a number of support articles.

How do I sync a PDF file between iPhone and iPad in iBooks?

How do I sync a PDF file between iPhone and iPad in iBooks?

If the PDF supports it then you can try opening the PDF in iBooks on your phone and use the 'share' icon (the square with the upward pointing arrow) to email it to yourself (some PDFs a protected and don't support emailing) and use 'open in' in the Mail app on your iPad to copy it to its Mail app.
Or you can connect the phone to your computer's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy it over to your iTunes (that should copy PDFs and/or epubs that are in the iBooks app, not just ibooks) and if using a Mac with Mavericks or Yosemite on it then do File > Move Books From iTunes in its iBooks app, and you can then sync it to your iPad.

You need OSX 10.7.2 or higher in order to access icloud. The mobile me account is now defunct (it closed down more than a year ago).

How do I get notifications on both my iPhone and Apple Watch?

How do I get notifications on both my iPhone and Apple Watch, not just the Watch?

That is correct, I spoke with apple and they told me it's one or the other depending on which one you are actively using at the time. I think it would be very useful to have your phone still vibrate along with your watch, as I've noticed I don't feel the watch most times, even with the prominent touch selection on (i.e. when i'm driving) Then you'd be able to know you got a message or notification from your phone vibrating and then could check the watch, although there would be a second or two delay like when you receive a phone call.

Connection between iPhone and desktop Mac

OK so just how connected are iPhones and desktop Macs now? I ask because I just deleted mail from my iPhone and it [seemed] as if the same mail was deleted from my iMac. And this was not mail using my iCloud addy.

Yes that is what I observed.
There have been other strange things going on with Mail on both the iPhone and the iMac so I wouldn't be at all surprised if this was one of them, but still I thought I might get a hint on this problem.
