Hi Templeton Peck,
Thanks for droping in my thread ...
Doesn't the fact that I can surf the web with my iPhone's hot spot and that I cannot use Mail normally has I normally do give you a clue what the problem could be ?
What other information can I give you other than normally I can surf and send email with my regular ISP.  Now that my ISP is dead I am using my iPhone's hotspot to surf the web awaiting that my ISP's connoection returns. Surfing is OK but I cannot send emails with through Mail.
When I want to send an email from my computer, I get a message asking me to select the the SMTP server.  Then I select my usual ISP server, but the message comes back telling me it does not work.
Is there any other configuration to do ?

  • Can you print from an iPad 2 using 3G in a home with no computer or wifi by using an iPhone 5 hot spot connection if the printer has been set up in another place with live wifi? I know this question is loaded but my dad lives in a rural area

    Can you print from an iPad 2 using 3G in a home with no other computer or wifi by using an iPhone 5 hot spot connection if the printer has been set up in another place with live wifi? I know this question is loaded but my dad lives in a rural area and is wanting a printer to use occasionally. He doesn't want to deal with a computer and I keep his iPad updated for him at my home.  Please shed some light on this for us PLEASE. Thanks

    In that case, it should be possible. I haven't tried this directly, but I believe it should work.
    You'll need to get an actual AirPrint compatible Printer.
    Check here for a list of Printers you can choose from.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
    Once you have the compatible printer, using the Hotspot feature from the iPhone he'll have to create the Wifi bubble form the iPhone, and connect the Printer to that Wifi network.
    Then connect the iPad to that same Wifi network provided by the iPhone. When all that is done, the printer should appear in any of the Apps that can Print under the Action Arrow button.
    For instance in email, pressing the action arrow should show a Print option. In there the printer should appear.
    Alternatively you can simply buy a wireless router and setup the network through there even if there is no internet attached.  Connect the wireless printer to the router network, and connect the iPad or iPhone to that same wifi network to print.

  • How can I use my Iphone 3 (or 4) for soil sampling with my Wintec G-Rays 2 GPS reciever?

    Hello, everyone. 
    I work for a company in Michigan that does a lot of soil-sampling.  (We take core samples from precisely mapped areas of fields for scientific anaylsis.)
    My goal is to use my Iphone 3 with my existing bluetooth Wintec G-Rays 2 for precise GPS mapping in apps like GISroam.  The searchable apps in the App Store appear unreliable for tethering. 
    Also:  My boss has an Iphone 4.  (Perhaps that phone be more appropriate for this application?)
    Question:  Am I thinking about doing this in the right way?  Are there apps that will make this simpler? 
    Specs for the G-Rays 2 are found below.

    If your phone is locked to AT&T in the USA, then only AT&T in the USA can unlock it - you will need to contact them about it.
    The requirements for AT&T to unlock it are here - http://www.att.com/esupport/article.jsp?sid=KB414532&cv=820#fbid=wyYI6i46IlD
    Note that requesting and processing an unlock throught AT&T is the ONLY way to officially and permanently unlock your phone.

  • 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.

    I want to use my home wifi signal to tether my iPhone to my laptop via USB ,as my laptops wifi card is broken. 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 my iPhone 5 as a router for my iPad?

    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.

  • 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.

  • How do I use an IPhone 4S (I purchased in Tokyo ) in Mumbai! It's locked

    How do I use an IPhone 4S (I purchased in Tokyo ) in Mumbai! It's locked. The carrier there was SoftBank and I have cleared all my dues with them. They refused to unlock it at the time of termination of contract. Now I'm in dire straits .......do not want to spend o buying another one when there are already two lying at home. Please help

    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 do I use a song in my iTunes library to record with in garage band on my iPhone?

    How do I use a song in my iTunes library to record with in garage band on my iPhone? Like music from my library I want to use invGarageBand to record over.

    Short answer:
    Click Hide Song(s), it is what you wanted to do...
    Long answer:
    iTunes in the Cloud is a feature of your iTunes store account that allows you to redownload or stream your past purchases. When you delete a purchased track that is downloaded to your computer (like the first one shown here) you are asked if you also want to hide the song from iCloud. This would remove it from the computer and also stop it showing up with the iCloud symbol as the other tracks from that album (which are not downloaded) do.
    If a track shows with the cloud symbol you can play (stream) it by double-clicking the title, or click the cloud symbol to download a local copy to your library. If you try to delete one of these tracks you get a slightly different message confirming that you want to hide the track. Clicking hide will remove the listing from the library and any other device that shows your past purchases.
    Should you want to retrieve any item hidden in this way at a later date use Store > View My Account > iTunes in the Cloud > Hidden Purchases > Manage.
    To hide all your previous purchases that are not downloaded to your computer use Edit > Preferences > Store and untick Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases.
