HT204023 Connect to iPad 2 3G with iMac

Hi all, I have an iPad 2 3g with a lot of data, and no DSL line at the moment. Is there any way in which I could "create a hotspot" with my iPad, so that I can also connect to the internet using my iMac?

No. The iPad 2 does not support the personal hotspot feature. Read more here.

IPad successfully paired with iMac, but it says it isn't connected

It says my device is not connected and on my iMac, it shows the bluetooth connection to the iPad, but has a red dot and it says not connected. How do I connect them. Thanks!

My iPad isn't house broken, never mind jailbroken. It's a bog standard Gen 2 iPad (no 3g).
The iMac is by the window, where it's able to pick up a free WiFi signal. The iPad doesn't see the WiFi at all, even when I stand by the window with it. The iMac seems to have a better receiver. That's when I decided to see if I could use the iMac to share its internet connection, and after a bit of mucking around it worked via bluetooth.
Hope these images help...

2. iMac SysPrefs 'Sharing' tab screen shot
To check "Bluetooth PAN" checkbox on the right, you have to uncheck "Internet Sharing" on the left first. (Re-check it when you're done)
3. iPad Settings 'General' tab, Bluetooth 'On' (photo)
4. iPad showing iMac connected via bluetooth (photo)
...that's yours truly reflected on screen, w/cam

When I connect my iPad mini to my iMac it recognizes the iPad but my Garage Band documents are not available for transfer. How can I fix this?

I'm having trouble transfering my garage band documents from my iPad mini to my iMac. iTunes recognizes the device, but when I select the app to add or save files to... nothing appears there, as if I had not recorded anything on my iPad. Can anyone help me?

Hi there
to make your files to appear in the apps section of iTunes you have to take some steps.
- go to Garageband on your iPad
- tap My Songs to go to the list of your songs (if your are not already there )
- tap Select
- select one song
- tap the share button (top left)
- tap itunes
- you are then asked to chose a format. There is an explation for each format.
- Choose one
- repeat the last 5 steps with every song you want to transfer.
- when your done tap done
The songs should now appear when you connect the iPad.
Hope that helps

Connecting to dial-up internet with imac through mac mini?

I can't quite figure out how to do this. I have a imac g3 and mac mini connected with ethernet crossover. the modem on imac is dead, dial-up connecting though mac mini. i can go through the menus for connecting through internet through ethernet but can't quite get it to connect to the internet on the imac. should I connect to internet on mac mini-then go try to connect over ethernet on imac, or am I missing somthing else in the configuration?
Thanks

Here's Apple's documentation on how to set up your Mac mini so your iMac can share the mini's modem internet connection.

Having issues getting Apple TV to connect to comcast wifi. Sees the router' enter password and says unable to connect. Router connected to iPad and pcs with no issues..., thoughts?

At a loss. Have comcast wifi. No issues connecting to iPad and laptop. However, when I try to connect iPhone 5 with OS 7 or applets with latest software I get unable to connect message. I can get the iPhone to connect if right next to modem, but unable to connect one room away. iPads have no issues and connect from any room.

Hello Tvsteven,
Thank you for providing all the details regarding the Wi-Fi connection issue you are experiencing with your Apple TV. I found an article with some steps you can take to troubleshoot an issue like this.
I recommend reviewing the full article, but the section titled "If you can see your Wi-Fi network, but you are unable to connect to it" specifically stands out to me for the situation you described:

Connect my ipad to pc with an HDMI cable

I'm trying to view my ipad on my PC, I have them connected via HDMI cable... I don't know how to make it show on the PC, any suggestions?

HDMI is a video-out system. It's used for connecting an iPad to a monitor or TV or something of the sort. If you have HDMI 'in' sockets on your computer then you could look at the image from there, but that's very rare: most HDMI sockets on a computer would be HDMI out sockets.

Syncing iPad calendar events with iMac calendar?

I just entered my schedule for the next two months on my new iPad thinking it would transfer to my 24" iMac calendar, but it did not. In iTunes there is a box to check to completely remove everything from my iPad and replace it with info from my desktop, but how do I merge the info? Or get the info I enter on my iPad onto my desktop? I would appreciate any help anyone can offer.
Thanks for your time.

Yes I thought I did. IIIaass, You're saying the information you entered on to your iPad synced and showed up or transferred to iCal on your computer? And all you did was checked the right box on iTunes? If you would, do you mind telling me exactly what option you checked to make that work? I would be eternally grateful. I thought I explored all the options, but maybe I missed one.
Thank you for your time and assistance IIIaass,
Kindest regards,

Synchronization of iPAD and iPHONE with iMAC and Macbook

Hi,
I am synchrinizing my calendar and contacts through iCloud with my 4 devices (iPhone, iPad, iMac and Macbook). Although it works nicely with the two computers, the iPad and iPhone do not pick up all appointments and that's very frustrating.
Does anyone know how to fix this or is this an iCloud bug that Apple needs to fix?
Thanks
JP

Thanks for the hint. But unfortunately, it does not work. There are still appointments on my Macbook that do not show on my iPhone after I've done what you describe.
Maybe it's because those were invitations I accepted on my Macbook? But technically speaking those should also be synchronized.
I think Apple has some work to do here.
Thanks again for the tip

Cant connect to ipad but works with iphone

my iphone can home share but suddenly my ipad can't. it worked previously flawlessly.

I appears to me that the problem is not related to whether you are on the phone or not. Generally, it seems like there is a problem with the 3G network being EXTREMELY slow and non-responsive. When I press the reload button several times, sometimes is loads very quickly as I would expect on 3G.
Still having this problem today.

How do I fix bluetooth connection between mouse and keyboard with iMac. iPhone won't connect to bluetooth either

Bluetooth on Mac os x won't work with keyboard, mouse or iphone. Keyboard and mouse both have new batteries and go discoverable when switched on, i have gone into system setup and tried connecting. It connects briefly with mouse then drops in and out of connection, keyboard does same, asking for passcode then no connection. I'm lost... my phone can pick up keyboard, so i think it is bluetooth in mac.

Go to ~/LIbrary/Preferences
Move the com.apple.Bluetooth.plist file to the Trash.
Restart your Mac.
Try re "pairing" the keyboard.
~ (Tilde) character represents the Home folder.
For Lion: To find the Home folder in OS X Lion, open the Finder, hold the Option key, and choose Go > Library

How to connect my MC207 (macbook 2009) with iMac 2013?

There is a 4 years gap between the two model, so I am not sure if the "Mini DisplayPort adapter" and one more "cable" work well for that.
The model of my macbook is MC207 (white one).
What things do I need?

Good question.. since the iMac is owned by my company, so I do not have enough authority to install some of my favorite plugins and applications on the iMac. I hope I could use my old laptop while working in office but as my boss said: 'it looks so strange in my place'.
Anyway, thank you very much for your answer.

Any solution on iPhone 4 can't connect to iPad 2 with iOS 6.0.1?

Any solution on iPhone 4 can't bluetooth connect to iPad 2 both with iOS 6.0.1?

If you're transferring files, there is a handy app called iFiles that will do it over Wi-Fi.
If you're transferring contact info, there is an app called Bump.

My wireless keyboard no longer connects with my iMac since changing the batteries. It now shows as not connected, not paired and not configured. A friend recently connected his iPad to the iMac and since then the problem started. Any ideas to resolve this

a friend told me that he wants my os x cd for my macbook pro to upgrade his imac.
The discs that come with your Mac are "machine specfic" and cannot be used on another Mac.
