I am trying to use my iPhone for personnel hotspots for my MacBook Pro

Can anybody tell me how to use my iPhone  ( I have paired it) with my MacBook Pro instead of wifi?

See http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4517
Be sure and expand all the sections on the page:
"Sharing your cellular data connection"
"Connecting other devices"
"Disconnecting devices"
Your cellular carrier also needs to support tethering (personal hotspot). If you have a "Share everything" plan under Verizon, it should be included.

  • Can I use my iphone 4s to ichat with a MacBook Pro?

    Is it possible to iChat from my iPhone with Os 7.0.3 to my parents MacBook Pro with Mountain Lion? I would like to use mirroring with my iphone and Apple TV and place my phone on the TV for use as a camera so that we can essentially video chat through the TV. If this is not possible, what about skype or any other systems?

    HI,
    The iPhone has both Messages (send iMessages to Apple items and SMS to non Apple phones) and FaceTime.
    FaceTime is a 1-1 Video chat app to other iPhones or iPads with FaceTime  and Apple computers that also have FaceTime (People with Snow Leopard can get it and it comes on Lion upwards).
    iChat is a  Mac Only text, Audio Only, Video Chat and Screen Sharing app.
    It does not connect to FaceTime.
    FaceTime on your iPhone and them using FaceTime on Mountain Lion should work.
    Mirroring the iPhone to the TV via Apple TV (Airdrop ?) is not something I have done.  (it's not the side of Apple Products I know so well).

  • I'm trying to use ManyCam as my video source on my macbook pro 2012 i5

    I'm trying to install ManyCam on my MacBook pro min 2012 modle i5, when i download and instal the manycam at the very end of the instalation it tells me the instalation failed, i don't know if anyone have come accrose this problem as well or its just on my computer, Secondly i would like to know if there is any other application compatible with MacBook that can serve as manycam, you may wonder what i need it for manycam as the capability to play prerecorded videos and stream them on yahoo, skype or msn as live webcam. If anyone know of any other application that can do this or if there is something i'm doing wrong with the instalation.

    Hi,
    The Download page is not very specific about Mountain Lion.
    It mentions Lion and also OS X 10.5 and up but also Intel Only but nothing about Mountain Lion.
    There is http://b-l-a-c-k-o-p.com/CatEye.html
    They also do CamCamX which can do thinsg with multiple feeds.
    Possibly WireCast.

  • How do I use an iPhone with an iMac and a MacBook Pro?

    I have an iMac, a MacBook Pro and an iPhone 4S. I will be travelling and would like to sync my iPhone with the iMac or MacBook, depending on where I am.  I am on the cloud and manage my music manually. I'd like to be able to sync and download app updates via iTunes. Currently I sync via the iMac, will I lose my music if I attempt to sync the iPhone with the MacBook?
    Thanks (and, yes, I know there is an obvious answer somewhere but I can't find it)

    I was afraid of that. That's why I posted the question before trying to sync and losing everything. Too bad as I just bought a MacBook Pro and would really like to have mirrored devices across the board. Either Appke's technology isn't up to it or they have some obscure secrecy reason to prevent it.

  • I used migration assistant for old MacBook Pro to New MacBook Pro

    Today, after being on the phone to applecare I uses migration assistant to copy files, applications etc from my old macbook pro to my new one using firewire, but only somethings copied for example, none of my photos, or music came over and also a lot of the software is asking for verification and codes etc. When the applecare person asked me to restart the old macbook pro holding down the "t" key, when it restarts all it shows is a firewire icon bouncing around on the screen like a screen saver, giving me no access to the old mac and therefore having to choose the transfer "from a time machine back up or other disk" option instead of the "from another mac" option, could that be the problem? Has anyone else experiamced this?

    I did choose "other disk" cause it wouldn't let me choose the "from another mac" option. I'm thinking this is why not all of my stuff transfered? Also is it strange that the old mac just had the firwire icon bouncing around on the screen the whole time?
    Thanks

  • Dual monitors for my macbook pro

    I want to use dual monitors for my macbook pro but I am getting mixed answers as to if that is possible. I want to use just the two monitors, so basically I am thinking I will plug my macbook into the monitors, close my macbook and use a blue tooth mouse and keyboard on the two monitors. I want to know if that is possible. Also, I am wondering about the adapters. I know that one end should be the thunderbolt and then the other end will have whatever the monitor needs (DVI/VGA) but all the adapters I see only have one place to plug a monitor in, and I will be need two.

    It is possible.
    I currently use a thunderbolt to vga adaptor and a usb to vga adaptor to run two independent monitors.
    However, the usb to vga adaptor is not great.  I'm using an Eclipse See2 UV159 but the screen does not come out as good as the thunderbolt to vga adaptor. 
    I'm currently looking for a better adaptor.

  • I just tried to use my iphone as modem for my laptop but once i select the iphone at my network connections it ask me for my password, does anybody knows if that information is either my iphone serial number, fcc id, IC, etc

    If you are trying to connect via wifi to our iPhone then the password should be displayed on your phone when you go into Personal Hotspot, by default it is a random password set by the phone but you can change it there.

    Try to do a reset, if it doesn't work try remove recently added apps this may solve your problem ( like google app because it has happened with me)
    Take a look at apps using your location service in privacy, it can cause battery draining.

  • I just purchased a Samsung DVD player with a USB port; says you can use a PC or player to play music; I tried to use my iPhone but it doesn't recognize it. Can you use an iPhone as a player, or would it have to be an iPod

    I just purchased a Samsung DVD player with a USB port; Samsung says you can use a PC or player to play music using the USB port; I tried to use my iPhone but it doesn't recognize it. Can you use an iPhone as a player, or would it have to be an iPod?  Or is there some ap?

    Skip the DVD player use an HDMI connection to your system.
    Use this http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD098ZM/A/apple-digital-av-adapter?fnode=3a&fs =s%3Dalpha
    or for just Audio use the 3.5 MM jack.

  • I am trying to use my iphone as a storage device to move my music to another computer but it shows up as a camera instead of storage device on my computer.  Any ideas?

    I am trying to use my iphone as a storage device to move my music library to a new computer.  My phone is showing up as a camera instead of as a storage device on my old computer so I can not move my music file to it.  Any ideas as to how I prevent this as showing up as a camera/scanner when I connect to my computer?

    It's supposed to show up as a camera because it is a camera.  Additionally, you won't be able to sync your music from your iphone back to iTunes... media sync is one way... iTunes to the iPhone.
    Google TouchCopy to copy the media from your iPhone to your computer.
