    Turn on Personal Hotspot on your iPhone, and then look for your iPhone's name in your computer's Wifi network list and connect to it.
    It works essentially the same as a regular wifi network.

  • How can I see my iPhone messages on my Macbook Pro?

    Hi, and thanks for any and all responses.
    I just upgraded to ML 10.8.1.
    One of the features I was anticipating was a sync between Messages on my iPhone (4S, 5.1.1), and MacbookPro (MBP.)
    Right now, and messages coming into my iPhone are not visible in Messages on the MBP.
    I have read elsewhere this is a feature of IOS 6, due in the fall.
    I have read similiarly that I need to change my Messages Settings on the iPhone to Receive At, my email address. (Unacceptable.)
    Checking settings I noticed something interesting.
    As I first obtained an AppleID many years ago, before MobileMe, my AppleID on my MBP, (and in Messages), is [email protected], whereas my AppleID on my iPhone is [email protected]
    Should this make any difference? Should I someohow change my AppleID on my MBP to .me?
    Any and all help is appreciated.

    Thanks for the replies!
    Ok, I want to be clear, so here is the first page in Messages Settings on the iPhone.
    So I Click on "Caller ID. And the phone number is checked...
    Are you saying to change the check mark to the email address?
    And if so, how will that affect receiving Messages on my iPhone?
    Will I still receive messages to the Phone Number?
    Will I lose all the previous message threads?

  • Can I use Dell AOI 922 printer with MacBook Pro?

    Can I use Dell AOI 922 printer with MacBook Pro?

    Cisco:
    Very helpful!   My set up was Mac/ Lion trying to Print off a Dell Photo A10 922
    Lion does not store any Lexmark, nor dow Apple, but I went to the lexmark site, and found this-
    http://support.lexmark.com/index?productCode=LEXMARK_X5270&page=product&locale=E N&userlocale=EN_US#1
    Downloaded that, then hooked up the printer, Cmd-P, and the Mac found the drivers I had loaded.
    Works fine.  Now when I go to my sisters, I can print!
    byw, I'm probably just a Level 2  "GIYF"er, but your the only one ( of MANY folks) who thought to search Lexmart. I've seen posts by MANY geeks saying a Mac could not print to ANY Dell printer.
    Nice job,
    Rich

  • How can I restore data from my iPhone after sync with macbook pro?

    I accidentally syncronized my Iphone with MacBook Pro on iTunes and lost all data from my phone (calendar, contacts, photos, etc.). Is there a way to recover that information? Thank you!

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    You cannot. However, you can solve this problem by setting the iPhone as a new device and upgrading iOS in Settings -> Software Update.
    After upgrading iOS, open Settings -> General -> Reset -> Erase All Content and Settings. Finally, Setup Assistant will let you restore the backup.

  • How can i pair my iPhone 5s to my MacBook Pro on yosemite

    i cannot pair my iPhone 5s to my Macbook pro. i recently upgraded to Yosemite, and was quite excited to use the new handsoff feature. To discover that the 2 devices would not pair. How exactly would handsoff work? A wifi connection, or bluetooth? i'm not the only one having this issue; it seems to be something we're all experiencing. it's a silly issue to have you ask me, or is there something I am doing wrong?

    First, verify that the Mac is capable of using Handoff. Hold down the option key and select System Information... from the Apple menu. In the System Information window, select Bluetooth from the list on the left. Near the top of the summary of "Hardware, Features, and Settings," you should see this line:
              Handoff Supported: Yes
    Follow the instructions in this support article. All the devices using Handoff must be connected to the same Wi-Fi network. If the Mac also has an Ethernet connection, disconnect the Ethernet cable.
    If Handoff still doesn't work, on the mobile device, turn Handoff off and back on as directed in the linked article. On the Mac, turn Bluetooth off and back on. You might have to restart a mobile device to get it working.

    since most recent software update with my macbook pro, contacts, calendar no longer syncs when I connect ipod touch with macbook pro. hate the cloud and want to stay "old fashioned". how can I?

    If you have Mavericks the only way to sync those items is via iCloud.
    If you use OS X Mavericks v.10.9 or later, your contacts, calendars, and other info are updated on your computers and iOS devices via iCloud. For more information, see iCloud Help at icloud.com.

  • Can I sync two iPhones to the same MacBook Pro?

    My wife needs to save all of her photos from her iPhone.  My iPhone has been the only one synced to the MacBook Pro. Can I sync her phone as well???

    Look at the pane on the left side of the iTunes screen.  Click once on the existing name to highlight it and then begin typing.

  • I can't see my latest photos in my Macbook Pro

    I keep my iphoto library in an external disk, which is almost all the time connected to my iMac. Recently I noticed that whenever I connect the external disk to my Macbook Pro, iPhoto doesn't show all my latest pictures and albums, although the iphoto library is the same. How can I fix this? Could it be because the Macbook is updated to Lion and the iMac isn't yet?

    Any chance that you've got  second library going somewhere. This can happen if you open iPhoto without the disk connected or if connection is lost to the disk while it is connected.

  • Issues with creating a wifi hotspot with Macbook Pro

    Hello. I am staying in a hotel with others for an extended period of time. There is only one ethernet port. I have previously used the ethernet via internet sharing to turn my macbook pro into a wifi hotspot. I went through the steps this time (checked, double-checked, and triple-checked via various websites), and though my computer says that it is broadcasting, AND all the other devices (iPhones, other laptops) can see and connect to the network, no internet seems to be coming through the broadcasted connection.
    What I mean is, the network exists, and when others connect it shows full signal in their airports, etc, but they still can't connect to the internet. Pages won't load, my iphone tells me that it's "not connected to the internet" even though it has full wifi bars. Is there some important step that I'm missing? I am running Snow Leopard.
    When I did this before, I feel like there was some other strange option I either had to enable or disable, but that was a long time ago and I can't recall. Right now, I just go into internet sharing, set "ethernet" as broadcasted from, and "airport" as broadcasted to, then I name the network and click "Start" and everything seems to work, except for the not actually being connected. Can anybody explain this?

    I can indeed get on with just my Mac, as can my roommate (he also has a Macbook Pro). I have not tried turning off my firewall. That may do it. However, I do not know how to turn off my firewall. I could just google it, but I figure I'll ask y'all anyway.

  • Can't get bluetooth headphones to work with MacBook Pro

    I just bought a pair of Bluetooth stereo headphones.  They work fine with my iPad and my iPhone.  I paired them successfully with Bluetooth on my MacBook Pro.  However, when I try to use them with my MacBook Pro it asks if I want to use them as stereo or mono.  No matter which I choose I immediately get the error message "There was an error connecting to your headset.  Make sure it is turned on and within range."  How do I solve this?

    There is a forum however it's not the most intuitive to locate. It's located in the Snow Leopard forum and can be found at:
