HT1695 iPhone + iPad internet connection?

I have an iPhone, and would like to get an iPad, but because an iPad with cellular is so much more expensive (I am willing to buy it if it is necessary), I was wondering if there was any way you culd use your iPhone to get internet connection where there is not wifi on your iPad? Maybe through iCloud or something?
Thanks ever so guys!

If your phone carrier supports the personal hotspot function (and you many need to contact them in case it's an extra fee/subscription) then yes, you can use that to share its 3G connection with the iPad - the iPad will see it as a wifi network.

  • Linksys help.  Already tried to search forums.  AirPort 'on', full signal strength but cannot connect to internet.  PC, iphone, ipad all connect fine.  Any ideas?

    So I have been using my imac for 15 months.  Never had a problem with going online.  Until yesterday.  Now its impossible.  I am connecting via a linksys router (model WRT54G2) version 1.5.  I have tried resetting modem, router.  Nothing.  Keep in mind my PC, iphone, ipad all connect fine to the wireless signal.  It is only the imac that won't connect.  The strange thing is when I check network settings it says it is connected to a linksys router at full strength.  But when I click Safari, it says I am not connected.  I am completely at a loss.  Any help is much appreciated as Apple wants to charge me $50 for tech support, linksys $40 and Cox Communications $75.  I love the lack of customer service.

    I resolved a similar internet connection issue at a friends house recently, the problem was the router was set to only accept 5 wireless devices. This was not an issue before, but soon as his sons got a new wireless phones and a Mac Book Air, it used up all the available DHCP connections from his router.
    His computer had the same issue,
    - was connected,
    - had a 169.xxx.xxx.xxx address
    - did not have the DNS or router address in his current network settings.
    The key point here is the same as yours, that all other devices were connected and could surf with Safari, except for that one device, in your case the iMac.
    I determined his problem by manually assigning a 192.168.1.x  IP address, subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, dns for his ISP and router address of 192.168.1.1. This worked, however it wouldn't when set to DHCP... went back to a 169 address.....
    The real problem, the router was config'd to allow only 5 dhcp addresses to be giving out, once the 6 device tried, it would show a wireless full bar connect, a 169 address and wouldn't connect to the internet as Safaria stated it wasn't connected to the internet.
    The real fix is to raise the number of dhcp wireless devices to a higher number, or possibly shorten the lease times so others can connect. He couldn't remember the password he changed on the linksys, so I left the network settings on his 6th wireless device in manual mode till he does remember the linksys password.
    I bet thats was your case too. Linksys/Cisco is one of the best routers out there, I'd use airport Apple's second, and would not recommend NetGear because of support and technical issues in the past.

  • Lion mountain newest update :I loos the internet connection, but the network shows connected. And IPhone, IPad stay connected and work. Only the MacBook Pro , which worked perfectly before with Lion unless I updated to Mountain. I have tried everything.

    I have a MacBook Pro, Early 2011, 2 GHz Intel Core i7 which I udated some days ago with Lion Mountain 10.8.2. Before it worked just perfect. Now, since the update,  I loos the internet connection after a wile, (at the beginning every 20 sec, now up to 4 hours) even that the sign of the WiFi network connection shows to be perfectly connected.
    My other divices like IPhone, IPad stay connected and work. The rooter is new and cannot be the problem. I tried nearly everything I found on the bloggs, but nothing helped actually. It must be a softwear problem on Lion Mountain, what can I do?
    Thanks for any help

    I FINALLY SOLVED THIS ISSUE!!!!
    New routers have "mixed" modes for your network; this means that it will automatically choose the best option between wireless-B, wireless-G and wireless-N network modes. I used to experience this issue using the 2.4 GHz. mixed mode wireless network.
    Thankfully, my router can create 2 networks: a 2.4 GHz. network and a 5 GHz. network.
    When I randomly changed this value to "use only wireless-B and wireless-G" trying to fix an issue with a wi-fi expander, the iMac wi-fi  issue dissapeared! I tried it with wireless-N only, but it didn't work.
    So, finally, I have a 2.4 GHz network with only wireless-B and wireless-G modes which works PERFECT with the iMac, and a 5 GHz. network with a mixed* wireless mode for everything else mode.
    *PD: by "mixed" mode it means that the router will automatically choose between B, G and N network modes as it fits better.

    Try holding down CTRL as you launch iTunes to see if it will repair the drivers.
    Or try Cerbu's post here.
    Or see TS1538: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows, in particular section 5, forcing a driver update.

  • Laptop to internet ok. Iphone to internet "connection to server failed"

    Laptop to internet ok. Iphone to internet "connection to internet failed" can someone help me fix this?

    I think bluetooth should be upgraded to allow to use
    iPhone to connect to the Internet with any laptop
    (i.e. Powerbooks or MacBooks), this is the only
    feature I am really missing with the iPhone! Do you
    think will be any software upgrade or third party
    software allowing to do that? Thanks for sharing.
    Wireless access from the iPhone is $20 a month. AT&T's unlimited access for laptops is $80 a month, and for other devices (PDAs, Blackberry, etc; the TOS forbids you to use the PDA as a wireless modem for a laptop) is $50 a month. Thus, if the iPhone COULD be used as a modem it would undercut all of the other wireless data services.
    Anyway, you wouldn't really want wireless laptop access over EDGE; believe me, I've tried it. If you really need wireless access get a 3G aircard with a separate data plan. It's really worth the price to have DSL speeds over the cellular network.
    best,

  • Tracking iPhone without internet connection..

    Is it actually possible to track iPhone without internet connection? I mean, the iPhone which I am tracking has no internet connection... (Example, has been lost in a foreign country and  the roaming data is not ON) Anyone has an idea how to do the tracking?

    Short answer: no, it's not possible. Longer answer: The cellular carriers could potentially track the phone if it's on. However, they'd most likely only give that information to law enforcement with a proper subpoena.

  • IPhone 6 internet connection is horrible.

    I got my iPhone 6 with iOS 8 yesterday but I am really disappointed. I feel like I am using the first iPhone. Internet connection both WiFi and Cellular is so poor. Although I have the fast WiFi network iPhone 6 is very slow when it try to open page using Safari or apps. I have company iPhone 5 and it is much faster than the new phone. Please help? Anyone has any issue like me

  • IPhone 5c internet connection

    Hi Joel_R,
    Thanks for the question. Based on what you stated, it seems like the iOS device can't connect to iTunes store. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you isolate or resolve the issue.
    Can't connect to the iTunes Store - Apple Support
    Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
    Make sure your date, time, and time zone are correct in Settings > General > Date & Time. 
    Note: Time Zone may list another city in your time zone.
    Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by tapping Settings > General > Software Update(iOS 5 or later) or connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking Check for Update on your device's Summary page.
    Check and verify that you're in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you're on a device with cellular service, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
    Note: If connected to cellular data, larger items may not download. You may need to connect to Wi-Fi to download apps, videos, and podcasts.
    Make sure that you have an active Internet connection. You can check the user guide for your device for help with connecting to the Internet.
    Make sure that other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
    Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router.
    If the issue persists, try troubleshooting your Wi-Fi networks and connections.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

  • IPad Internet connection preference

    Simple question:
    I have an iPad 2 WiFi & 3G model with SIM card installed. If, say, I'm in my apartment and my iPad is connected to my home WiFi network (which has access to the internet), how will it prefer to connect to the internet: through WiFi or directly through its 3G connection?
    Thanks

    verizon has a glitch so that turning 3G on and off often requires a reboot of machine, so prefer to leave both wi-fi and 3G on at same time -- so resolving which preferentially serves data is valuable to me (and perhaps to other verizon iPad users)

  • Restore iPhone without internet connection

    Hello,
    I have an iPhone 5s for a while now. I changed my passcode and rebooted my iPhone. After the reboot, I realized I forgot the passcode. I tried to unlock it with my fingerprint but it wouldn't allow me to due to it being right after restart. I tried to restore it, yet it didn't allow me due to find my iPhone being on. I went on iCloud to turn off find my iPhone but my iPhone has no internet connection as simcard is locked and even though wifi is on, it doesn't connect. How should I get out of this?
    Thank you.

    You need to put the phone into recovery mode and restore it using a computer with iTunes that has an Internet connection.

  • May I know other application that can still locate my iPhone without internet connection

    Someone stolen my Iphone5 in the office. I tried to locate the location of my iphone with my MAC AIR using icloud but I cant locate my gadget because Its already block and dot have internet connection. Now, just wanted to know if there are some application that can still locate with an internet connection?

    Unfortunately the iPhone needs to be connected to the internet to get located.
    Technically, it is possible to locate it if the phone based on it´s IMEI number when it is switched on. But only your carrier on request of the police will be able to do it. Being realistic, I doubt that they will do the effort
    Maybe by chance the thief connects to the net....that´s the only way.
    Sorry, I fear that´s bad luck!

  • My iphone has internet connection and i can connect to the app store,but wen i go2 download stuf i hve to review my account 1st as i havent downlaod nething yet.. after i enter the card details it says your request is temporarily unavailable

    my iphone has an internet connect and can browse safari, and it can also connect to the app store, but wen i go to download anything it says i have to review my account.. so i enter all my details and card details and move on to the next step.. but it says "cannot connect to itunes " and " your request is temporarly unavailable"

    Emily,
    thanks for your posting, it just reflects my experience (although I didn't contact the helpdesk, but after what you wrote I think I can skip that part). I am livin in China and buy from the German MS, worked fine until about a week ago when the download of an album stopped just after 5 songs. I have never been able to connect to the shop ever since.
    The interesting thing is, that I get a response from their server in the domain phobos.apple.com (phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/storeFront) which I would interpret that there can't be a problem which they always list (Antivirus, Firewall etc...)
    So will there ever be somebody from Apple who is going to give a better explanation how to solve the problem ? Or are there already too many people buying iPods and music ???
