I was guessing they coudn't see it on the main settings page. My experience is that it doesn't show up there until you've enabled it under Cellular. Apparently, I was correct. This time.

Hi... I've had my IPhone 4S since January 13, and it doesn't have the option to use it as a wifi hotspot? When all my friends iphones do. Is there a way to install in onto my phone? Or what do I need to do to get it??

Whether you can use your phone in this way is entirely the responsibility of your phone company/carrier. You need to contact them to see if you can add tethering to your phone plan. Be warned though that it could get rather expensive, so if you don't really need it, then do without, but in any instance, you need to contact your phone carrier.

How to use iPhone USB tethering / Personal Hotspot without iTunes

I have a corporate laptop so didn't want to install the whole of iTunes to enable USB tethering / Personal Hotspot.
Here's how you can enable USB tethering / Personal Hotspot without installing iTunes.
1. Download iTunes from https://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
2. Extract the contents of the downloaded file using winRAR or 7zip. In particular you want the following files:
For 32 bit systems:
- AppleApplicationSupport.msi
- AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi
For 64 bit systems:
- AppleApplicationSupport64.msi
- AppleMobileDeviceSupport6464.msi
Note: If you don't have either winRAR or 7zip you can do the following instead:
Start the iTunes installation, then on reaching the first screen, the required files will be extracted to your machine, perform a search for one of the files above on your C drive whilst the iTunes installation window is open, it should find them in a temp folder somewhere, you can then copy and paste them somewhere and close the iTunes installation.
3. Before continuing, ensure your iphone is not connected to the computer. Then, install AppleApplicationSupport.msi (or AppleApplicationSupport64.msi for 64 bit machine)
4. Install AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDevice6464.msi)
5. Restart your computer
6. After your computer has restarted, enable Personal Hotspot on your iPhone (select USB only option) and plug in your iPhone using the USB cable. Some device drivers will install and then your computer should automatically connect to the iPhone internet connection.

Hi kveille,
Using the personal hotspot can become tricky as there are three different options available. Based on your details, it sounds like you've been trying the option to connect using WiFi on your computer and iPad. We have the steps needed for iOS 6 to activate and use WiFi so I encourage to use these exact steps to get it to work http://bit.ly/SFLD2b. You will need to check that the MacBook Pro is setup to pick up the network the right way. Check by following http://bit.ly/PJkOWZ. Step 9 demonstrates how to find the network name that you can look for on your computer. Try these steps and keep us posted to the status of the connection.
Thank you,

How to use mobile as a wifi internet on pc...

Hello, i want to connect my laptop to internet by using my nokia e71 wifi because my have no wifi. so plz tell me how can i connect my laptop to internet by using mobile wifi?

You need to download and install the latest Ovi suite and install it on your laptop. Connect your phone to your laptop via usb or bluetooth in PC Suite mode. In Ovi suite, goto Tools > Connect to Internet. After setting your country and carrier, the suite will connect you to the internet via your phone.
Note that this will connect you using your phone carrier's network, so you will incur data costs on your phone plan.
If I've helped you, you can thank me by clicking the green 'kudos' star on my post. Cheers.

Received mysteries text regarding a code send from my own Iphone after using a unprotected public Wifi-hotspot

Today I received a text from my own Iphone number displayed as +28 18 xx xx that I have not written myself. It said I now had a new code thas was xxxx without specifying what for. Just before I got that text I had used a couple of different public wifi-hotspots. Should i be worried? After i searched Google all I could find was that it was a possibility your Iphone can be hacked on Wifi and the other option was that the code I received maybe was from the Verified SecureCode by Visa & Mastercard that I did sign up for a long time ago. If that was the case someone would be trying to use my credit card. If anyone could help me to disclose why i got the text from my own Iphone I would be very grateful.

HT4783 I'm trying to learn how to use Airdrop between my wife's Mac and mine. We both have it, but this article did not help us learn HOW to share files. Yippeee that we can...but HOW?

My wife and I are trying to learn how to use Air Drop. The "tutorial" showed us where it is. It came up. I saw hers (Mac). She saw mine (Mac). But where to go after that is, apparently, in the cloud somewhere. The description says we can share files...which is nice...but nothing tells us HOW to share those files.
Thanks for your help out there...
Dennis

1. Open a new Finder window or use one that's already open
2. Click on Airdrop, press Shift+Command+R, or find "Airdrop" in the "Go" menu
3. Drag your file to the icon of the person you want to send the file to (if you have mountain lion, you can use the share button).
4. The other person has to click "save"
5. The file will send and appear in the receiver's downloads folder
In Mountain Lion, a new feature was added: the share button. It's a button with a picture of a box and an arrow jumping out of it. Click on it and the third (and last) option is "Airdrop" and clicking on it will allow you to send files over Airdrop without opening it in Finder.

Want to use my mac as wifi hotspot with 3G USB connection

Howdy Folks,
I'd like to try an alternative to my local internet provider, which has now increased to $240/mo for less than 2mb/sec service. (I live in a remote place with just one provider)
The local cellular company offers 3G USB internet "sticks", and I would like to see if I can use that to tether my MacBook Pro as a hot spot.
And, better yet, is there a way to expand that to my Airport Extreme?
Or, use the USB connection on an Airport Express directly?
Anyone know a solution(s)?
I have a small cafe, so the purpose beyond personal use, would be to provide WiFi access for up to about 6 additional users.
Thanks in advance!

Ok, thanks. I'm still confused. So I turn Wi-Fi off and I try to select "personal hotspot" under "cellular data" and I get the following message: "wifi is off - personal hotspot will only be available over Bluetooth and USB. Do you also want to enable it over wifi?" Then it gives me two choices 1) Turn on Wifi or 2) Bluetooth and USB Only. If I choose 1 like I did today the bluebar appears but it's connected over a crappy wifi network...if I choose #2 the blue bar never appears and the ipad isn't a hotspot???

Can someone explain what DHCP is and how I do I connect to WiFi hotspot?

Can someone explain how a wireless network/router with an internet connection allows computers with a wireless card to connect to the internet? For instance, In an internet cafe with WiFi, how does my macbook get the IP address for the ISP that the cafe uses to allow me to open a webpage with Safari? What is DHCP and how should I set my internet preferences to allow me to use a network other than my own.
The reason I ask so many questions is that I can connect to the internet with my Airport Express base station network at home but not in my local WiFi cafe. Can see the network but not connect.

Most Internet Cafes utilize DHCP to dynamically provide a wireless client with an IP address for that session. DHCP is a protocol used by networked computers (clients) to obtain IP addresses and other parameters such as the default gateway, subnet mask, and IP addresses of DNS servers from a DHCP server. It facilitates access to a network because these settings would otherwise have to be made manually for the client to participate in the network.
You Mac's AirPort, in turn, is set up to be a DHCP client by default. This allows your Mac to accept the dynamically provided IP address information from the Internet Cafe's DHCP server.
The reason I ask so many questions is that I can connect to the internet with my Airport Express base station network at home but not in my local WiFi cafe.
It sounds like the AirPort settings that your Mac is using is no longer at their default settings...and my be the reason you cannot connect to the Internet at the Cafe...or, the Cafe has additional settings required. I suggest that you check with the Administrator of the particular Internet Cafe you're having trouble connecting with to find out what settings are necessary to use their wireless network.
A typical AirPort is set up as follows:
System Preferences > Network > Show > Network Port Configurations
- Verify that AirPort is "On" (checked)
- Verify that AirPort is at the top of the list. If it isn't, you can drag it to the top.
Systems Preferences > Network > Show > AirPort
AirPort tab
- By default, join: Automatic
TCP/IP tab
- Configure IPv4: Using DHCP
- Configure IPv6: Automatically or Off
Proxies tab
- Configure Proxies: Manually
- Select a proxy server to configure: <All proxies should be unchecked unless you specifically require a proxy for Internet access.>
- Exclude simple hostnames (unchecked)
- Bypass proxy settings for these Hosts & Domains: <leave blank>
- Use Passive FTP Mode (PASV) (checked)

How to use airport express as wifi extender?

I have a gateway wifi router from AT&T and I want to extend the wifi range but having problem configuring it. First when I plugged the airport express my Mac's airport utility cannot locate it. Then I decide to hard wire it and my Mac recognized it but it asked for my password when this is my first setup. After resetting airport I managed to bypass the password but now it seems to be picking up another network near by. After changing it to my provider the light on my airport is still blinking and whenever I click on the airport icon on the airport utility it will indicate that the wifi network I have chosen cannot be found and that I should make sure that my main router is plugged. So does anyone who uses AT&T's gateway router has any success in connecting with the express as an extender?

The Amber light is now steady.
The light is green when a device is configured correctly.
The main elements for a roaming configuration are as follows:
o The remote AirPort connects using Ethernet
o Wireless Mode = Create a wireless network
("Extend" is used only with Apple devices when they connnect using wireless only....not Ethernet)
o Wireless network name on the AirPort is the same as the main router
o Wireless Security setting ont the AirPort must match the main router
o Wireless Password on the AirPort must match the main router
o The AirPort must be configured to operate in Bridge Mode

How do I find out my wifi hotspot's password?

I have forgotten my hotspot's password and our daughter has a new Ipod. How do I find out or reset the password?

I don't blame you since we have so many passwords to remember these days, briggsfamily14!
I will provide this link http://search.verizonwireless.com/?q=hotspot%20password since I'm unsure of the device you have.

How to use N900 as a WiFi modem to connect a PC to...

Hi there,
I have used the PC suite software to connect my N900 to my computer. On there, there is an option to connect to the internet via the phone but it seems that this is done only via the phone's 3.5G capability.
I was hoping that I could choose either 3.5G or the Wifi.
I have a desktop computer at home that does not have a wifi card nor is it connected to my network via a CAT5 cable. So connecting it to the phone is the only option I have. Connecting through the phone's wifi capability would be more economical than using the 3.5G subscription.
Does anyone know if one can switch between the 3G and the Wifi int eh PC Suite ?
Thanks
Fred

I don't think it is possible to use the N900 as a wifi adaptor

How to use celluar in iPad wifi

Hi how to connect m'y sim to iPad 3,wifi

If you don't have an iPad wi-fi+cellular, the iPad wi-fi doesn't include cellular connection capability.
If your cell phone supports tethering and you have a tethering plan with your cell phone carrier, you can tether your iPad with your cell phone to share your cell phone's internet connection via your carrier's cellular network.

How can Verizon legally BLOCK my wifi hotspot app?

My phone upgraged to jb. Have called Verizon several times. I went into the store. They said they did not block it. My phone clearly states it has been blocked by Verizon.

If you have a Verizon unlimited data plan, you must pay for tethering. I have the unlimited tethering plan for $30 per month. This is in addition to your unlimited data plan and in accordance with the FCC ruling. You can also get 2GB for $20, I believe.
"GigaOm adds that Verizon also won't be able to charge customers on its tiered data plans the $20 a month tethering fee, though it can charge those customers who are still on its unlimited data plans."
This is quoted from what you posted.
