How do I use my iPhone 5 as a router for my iPad?

Yep, as stedman has helpfully proffered a link on HowTo.
Once the personal hotspot is up, you can connect a reasonable number of devices to gain Internet access. The iPad can hook up either via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. If you have a computer, you also have the choice of a wired connection as well.

Can I use my iPhone as an internet router for my MBA

Can I use my iPhone as an internet router for my MBA when traveling? if so how do I do it.
Cheers

As a router or do you want to use the phone signal to provide an Internet connection? If that is what you are attempting to do you are asking about tethering and need to speak to your cell phone provider to get that service turned on. If you actually want the phone to be a router, no it does not have that ability.

Can I use old iPhone 4.3.3 backup for new iPad 6.1.3 to recover lost contacts?

I lost all Contacts from iPhone 4 iOS 4.3.3 when I accidentally deleted my old MobileMe email account. (Never upgraded to 5.0+). Can I sync or restore a new iPad mini 6.1.3 using an old iPhone backup through iTunes to retrieve my Contacts? Is there other way? Not on iCloud. Don't wanna restore my iPhone & lose all its data since last backup. Thank you.

Go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup and confirm that the backup completed successfully. If wi was it will say "Last Backup:" with a date and/or time at the very bottom under the "Back Up Now" button. After confirming this, do the following:
Restore your iPhone backup to your iPad Mini by connecting the iPad Mini to your computer, open iTunes, click on the name of your iPad Mini in iTunes, go to the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and click on Restore Backup. Watch the progress bar at the top of iTunes and allow the restore process to complete. When it's done, eject it from iTunes and disconnect it from your computer.
Check the contacts and calendar on your iPad Mini to confirm that the they was successfully restored. Assuming they were, go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts and Calendars to On (if they aren't already on), and choose Merge when prompted to upload the data to your account.
Go to icloud.com from your computer, sign into your iCloud account and check your contacts and calendar to confirm that they were both successfully uploaded.
Restore your iCloud backup by going to Settings>General>Reset and tapping Erase All Content and Settings. Then go through the setup screens on your iPad Mini and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup. Sign into your iCloud account, agree to the terms and conditions, then choose your most recent backup to restore to. Be sure your iPad Mini is connected to wifi and your charger as this may take some time to finish. After restoring your data and settings, it will restart and begin to download your apps and other purchased media. During this process you will be prompted enter the passwords for the Apple ID(s) used to purchase this media.
When it's done restoring our iCloud backup, go to Settings>iCloud, confirm that you are signed into your iCloud account and turn Contacts and Calendars to On (if they aren't already on). Your recovered contacts and calendar should then reappear on it.

How can i use my iphone with more than one itunes

Sync iPod/iPad/iPhone with two computers
Although it isn't possible to sync an Apple device with two different libraries it is possible to sync with the same logical library from multiple computers. Each library has an internal ID and when iTunes connects to your iPod/iPad/iPhone it compares the local ID with the one the device normally syncs with. If they are the same you can go ahead and sync...
I have my library cloned to a small 1Tb USB drive which I can take between home & work. At either location I use SyncToy 2.1 to update the local copy with the external drive. Mac users should be able to find similar tools. I can open either of the local libraries or the one on the external drive and update the media content of my iPhone. The slight exception is Photos which normally connects to a specific folder on a specific machine, although that can easily be remapped to the current library if you create a "Photos" folder inside the iTunes Media folder so that syncing the iTunes folders keeps this up to date as well. I periodically sweep my library for new files & orphans with iTunes Folder Watch just in case I make changes at one location but then overwrite the library with a newer copy from the other. Again Mac users should be able to find similar tools.
As long as your media is organised within an iTunes Music or Tunes Media folder, in turn held inside the main iTunes folder that has your library files (whether or not you let iTunes keep the media folder organised) each library can access items at the same relative path from the library folder so the library can be at different drives/paths on different machines. This solution ensures I always have adequate backups of my library and I can update my devices whenever I can connect to the same build of iTunes.
When working with an iPhone earlier builds of iTunes would remove any file not physically present in the local library, even if there was an entry for it, making manual management practically redundant on the iPhone. This behaviour has been changed but it will still only permit manual management with a library that has the correct internal ID. If you don't want to sync your library between machines on a regular basis just copy the iTunes Library.itl file from the current "home" machine to any other you want to use, then clean out the library entries and import the local content you have on that box.

Can you use your Iphone as a wifi-hub for Ipad?

Is it possile to buy the Ipad2 wifi and then use your Iphone Data plan to connect your ipad to 3G network? Therefore using my iphone as a wifi-hub for the Ipad instead of paying for another data plan?

Absolutely you can do this. If you have iPhone 3GS or iPhone 4 and your carrier offers a tethering plan, you can certainly use that to give your iPad a wifi hotspot anywhere you have 3G service. AT&T offers tethering. There is additional cost and for anyone who had an ulimited data plan with AT&T, they will have to give up the unlimited option and agree to a capped data plan. Currently, that option costs $45/month and includes (I believe) 4GB of data/month.

How do I use my iphone 4S wifi on my laptop via USB cable

Hi with my HTC when I connected it to my laptop via USB cable a list of options came up on my phones screen and one of them was to tethering. But when I do the same with my iPhone no options come up on my screen, so how do I use my iPhones wifi on on my laptop useing a USB cable?
Any help would be gratefully appreciated.
My laptop runs on windows vista and my iPhone 4s has the latest updates.

It worked ok with my old HTC desire as when I can extend it to my laptop it had a list os options of what you wanted to do and one of them was tethering, as I'm useing my home wifi I don't need to worry about my data usage. But thank you for responding.

How do i use an iphone 5 as an ipod

how do i use an iphone 5 as an ipod

Lawrence, any idea why this article now has the designation of being "archived" and "no longer updated by Apple"? Is it because there's nothing left to add or update at this point or because it's no longer required to swap SIM cards? (I don't know if that's true just trying to figure it out.)
I didn't take out my wife's original SIM card in turning her iPhone 4s into an iPod Touch for my son and almost everything has gone smoothly except for two things:
Facetime had a few issues at first but I've straightned them out.
I still see "activation" error messages after restarting. This I'd like to get ironed out because it's annoying, so is the best course of action still to take out the old SIM, put in the SIM from my wife's new iPhone, restore the old one with new SIM in it, and then once everything is set up correctly return the new sim to the new phone?
I think if I understood more clearly why this SIM swapping is necessary, I would be able to answer some of my own questions.

Sell the devices you currently have to someone that can use them with the carrier they are locked to. Put those funds towards the purchase of a device that you can utilize with the carrier of your choice.

How can I use 2 iPhone 4's on same iTunes account, but NOT sync same contacts?

How can I use 2 iPhone 4's on same iTunes account, but NOT sync same contacts?

They need to be registered under different Apple ID's. The initial Apple ID is set when you first start the phone up. If you've already registered the phone to the iTunes account, back it up to your computer, and then have iTunes do a factory reset. Go to www.icloud.com, log in with your current Apple ID, select "Find My iPhone," choose the iPhone you want to dissociate from your primary Apple ID from the upper left, and then click the little circled X ("remove").
When you start the phone, it will have you go through the setup process again, at which time you need to create a unique Apple ID for the device. You can then restore it from your iTunes backup to get back your apps and other settings.
Whenever you use the iTunes store, use the login information (Apple ID and password) that you were using before. Basically, the second Apple ID that you created is purely used for accessing iCloud services, which includes synchronization of contacts, iCal events, and other such things.

Hi, we have two iphones with two accounts. The apple tv automatically syncs with one account to play music from the iphone to apple tv. How can I use my iphone to do the same?

Our experience is a little different, we have different iTunes accounts for different family members, each family member has their own iTunes library on their own mac, each mac uses my Apple ID for homesharing and we are able to play purchased content from each library on the Apple TV.

How do I use my iphone 4s for gps - do I need an app?

I'm a new smartphone user. How do I use my iphone 4s for gps - do I need an app - which one is best...prefer free of course...does it work from home or do I have to be on the road to access gps function? Thanks!!

There is a built in GPS and map function that provides basic navigation using Google Maps. It's hard to miss right there on the home screen. However, it is maunal; you have to tap "next" when you reach each waypoint, and it does not provide spoken directions. It also downloads maps in real time, so it can be slow if you have a slow data connection, and it uses a lot of data if you are on a limited data plan. It is excellent for walking and public transportation, less useful in a vehicle unless you have a navigator sitting in the car.
There are several commercial GPS apps that you can buy from the App Store, but no free ones. Just search the App Store for "GPS".
