HT3574 can I use iPhone5 as hotspot for iPad2

I have a plain iPad 2 with just wi-fi capability and am considering getting the iPhone 5. The determining factor is can I tether the iPad 2 to the iPhone 5 so that I can use the internet, etc. when I am out of contact with wi-fi? Thanks for the help here. Dan.

Not the way I read the link. The link refers to the case where the iPad 3 is the hot spot device, NOT the tethered device. What it says is that everything from the 3GS onwards for the phones and the iPad 3 onwards (as long as it has a mobile data capability like 3G) can be used as a hotspot device. It does not say that the iPad2 can not be a tethered device to the iPhone 5 acting as a hotspot. My understanding is that it is possible to do what the OP wishes, since the tethering is not a function of the receiving (tethered) device which just sees a wifi signal, but the capability of the hotspot device, in this case the iPhone 5 which definitely can be a Hospot device. The OP should remember that tethering is only possible by the agreement of your data provider.

  • IPhone4 used as mobile hotspot for iPad2

    This option (at $20/mo for 2gb) seems the most economical but what are the downsides?  
    Can I still use the phone at the same time for incoming/outgoing calls?  
     Can I turn off the "hotspot" button to conserve useage?  
     Would it be better to just get a monthly data plan for the iPad alone (@ $20/mo for 1gb or $35 for 3gb)?
    If I do use it as a hotspot, should I then get just the WiFi version of the iPad2?

    You cannot use the phone for calls while you are using the hotspot for data. That's a limitation of CDMA. Calls will take priority over data. I have read, but can't personally confirm, that data use on the phone while the hotspot is in use counts against the 2GB. If you plan to always have your phone with you when you want 3G data on the iPad, then you can save money by buying the WiFi version and using the hotspot. If the devices will be separated, for example use by a family member, then you may want the 3G model. You need to think about how and where you are going to use the iPad to make the best decision.

    You may be having problems with your battery. However, they were not caused by using your iPad charger. The iPad charger is compatible with the iPhone and can safely be used with it. If your phone is less than a year old, you may want to take it to your nearest Apple Store and have them take a look at it. If the battery is not functioning correctly, they will replace it for you.

  • HT204023 Can you use the personal hotspot on the iPhone 4 with an iPad 4th generation ?

    Can I use the personal hotspot on the iPhone 4 with the iPad 4th generation which only has wifi ?
    Thank you in advance for your help :)

    Unlimited Internet is different than the carrier supporting the hotspot feature. I don't have an iPhone or an iPad with cellular. My limited knowledge about the hotspot is from reading support articles about it and from what I have read here in the forum.
    I don't know that circumstances with the carriers have changed, but initially, the was an extra cost to enable the hotspot feature on the iDevice. I believe that Verizon was charging an additional $20 per month for the feature. Check out the support article that I posted above.
    This is copied from that article that I posted above.
    Note: If you do not see the option for Personal Hotspot, confirm with your carrier that this feature is supported and your wireless plan is configured for Personal Hotspot. For additional troubleshooting, see this article.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    iTunes and iCloud and different accounts, you will need to delete both accounts from your device before adding the new details in their place.
    For iCloud go to settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit the delete button. You can then sign back in using your correct details. For iTunes go to settings >store, tap your account ID and then sign out, you can then sign back in using your correct Apple ID.

  • HT204053 Can I use one Apple ID for two Apple IPhones?

    Can I use one Apple ID for two Apple IPhones? I received an answer of yes.
    Now another question.  I have one ICloud Account, Two IPhones.  Can I use Find my IPhone via the one ICloud Account?  Can I see two IPhones on the map at the same time?  or do I need to view the second phone via some other method.

  • HT4436 My family has multiple iPhones.  Can we use one Apple ID for all of our phones?

    My family has multiple iPhones.  Can we use one Apple ID for all of our phones?

    If you use the same AppleID for iMessage and iCloud though, you will all be sharing the same message account and iCloud email account.  You can use a common AppleID for purchased content, but each create your own unique AppleID for iMessage and iCloud so you each have your own private accounts for those services.

  • How do we use if statement in labview?moreover can i use if statement inside for loop?

    how do we use if statement in labview?moreover can i use if statement inside for loop?

    The if statement in LabVIEW is the Case structure. You can find that on the Structures palette right next to the For Loop. If you're still on the same subject about terminating a for loop early, then what you do is enclose your functions inside the loop with a case statment and make one of the case's empty except for one or more constants that you might have to wire. Hopefully, the attached picture will explain what I mean. Also, as I mentioned in one of your other posts, I think this technique is not as good as using a while loop. The array in the attached example is the same size no matter what and you may have to handle stripping extra or invalid elements.

    Can I use one itunes account for multiple users and multiple devices?

    The iTunes EULA, as I understand it (I'm not an attorney )for Apps is basically that one person can use an App multiple devices, or multiple people can use an App one device..so one to many or many to one, but not many to many....

  • Can we use same program ID for more than one RFC scenarios

    Hi experts,
                I am working on a RFC to FILE scenario. I have created one TCP/IP connection in SM59 with a program ID. Can we use this program ID for more than one scenario. I have written code as below
    data: iquote type standard table of ZIQMD initial size 0,
          IPRODUCT type standard table of ZPMS initial size 0,
          wa_quote type ZIQMD,
          wa_PRODUCT type ZPMS.
    CALL FUNCTION 'Z_CBT_RFC_QUOTEMASTER'
      TABLES
        I_QUOTE       = iquote          .
    CALL FUNCTION 'Z_CBT_RFC_QUOTEMASTER' in background task DESTINATION
    'ID4'
      TABLES
        I_QUOTE       = iquote          .
      COMMIT WORK.
    CALL FUNCTION 'Z_CBT_RFC_PRODUCTMASTER'
      TABLES
        IPRODUCT       = IPRODUCT          .
    CALL FUNCTION 'Z_CBT_RFC_PRODUCTMASTER' in background task DESTINATION
    'ID4'
      TABLES
        IPRODUCT       = IPRODUCT          .
        COMMIT WORK.
    when i am executing the code like this. i am able to send the data to 'Z_CBT_RFC_QUOTEMASTER'  , but iam not getting data  for 'Z_CBT_RFC_PRODUCTMASTER'  interface. ID4 is the connection that i have created in SM59. with program ID as ABCD.
                  Can i use the same connection for all interfaces.Please help in this, if we can use same connection for all interfaces. then how to make changes in XI.
    Thanks in advance.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Poorna.

    Just tried this and I can confirm that my earlier understanding was correct!
    One of my colleagues confused me out and the conclusion is,
    1. You need a separate TCP IP Connection for every interface with a Unique program ID.

  • How can I use my itunes library for iphoto slideshow?

    how can I use my itunes library for iphoto slideshow?

    Here's a possible workaround:
    Create the slideshow in Iphoto and add a theme and music.
    Install Picasa  and it will include the slideshow on it's indexed list.
    Upload the slideshow to PicasaWebAlbums and send the link to anyone you wish.
    The music and theme is preserved.
    Caveat: My playback pictures appear darker than usual but that could be just lousy photography...:)

  • Can I use one gift card for two apple ID at the same time?

    Can I activate one gift card for two different apple ID and use amount from gift card like bank account?

    No, an iTunes gift card can only be redeemed onto one account, and it can be used to buy content for that account (you can't, for example, redeem it on an account and then use some of it for gifting content to another account).
