Yes, that is the Tetheringn or HotSpot option. Some models have this. You will have to set up your phone to do this, and your carrier will likely charge you an extra fee for the tethering service.

i have a ipad2 and can only connect to the internet on safari but not any WiFi related apps such as YouTube or Facebook. plz help.
Try changing the channel in use in case you're getting interference.
If you have WEP enabled on the Internet Sharing it'ss worth disabling it whilst troubleshooting the connectivity issues.

What is the difference between roaming and Wi-fi. I'm going to EU in a week. Your answer implies that if I use the Wi fI in the apartment I'm staying at for my Mac or my Iphone, I won't have to pay extra. Do I have that right. My carrier is ATT on my phone.
That's right, wifi is free around the whole world (except if you have to pay to access a protected network). It doesn't matter whether you're with ATT or Verizon. Beaware to turn off Cellular and Data Roaming as it is very costly if you don't have an int'l plan. I think the cheapest ATT int'l plan at this moment is $25 for 50MB.
Also, you can text anywhere in the world for 50 cents with cellular and data roaming off. At this rate, you're not going to be popping 50 text messages back and forth, but for a few, I find it to be very reasonable. It's cheaper to text a fellow traveler than to call him/her at int'l phone rates. The cheapest text plan is 50 messages for $10. See ATT.com for other plans.
Another option to consider is Skype. With a wifi signal, you can call anywhere in the world for about 2 cents a minute. When I set my Skype account up, they required a $10 prepayment. At 2 cents a minute, that's 500 minutes. While I think I set my Skype account up from Europe, I think it might be easier to do it here. Skype works great on both my iPad and my IP. -
Ive forgotten the passcode to my ipod touch and we've just got a new internet so its not connected to the internet so i cant restore it from recovery mode how would i restore it?
An internet connection is required.
Forgotten Screen-Lock Passcode
Connect the iOS device to your computer and try to make a backup
iOS: How to back up
Then restore via iTunes. The iOS device will be erased. Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
For without iTunes
If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone and use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
You can also wipe the iOS device by installing the FindMyiPhone app on another iOS device and using that app to wipe the device. -

I am connected to the internet but when i get on my screen is grey and I can't do anything.
I am connected to the internet but when click in safari my screen is grey. I can't clidk on anything nor can I get to another page. What can I do to reset it?
I have tried disabeling my internet and reconnecting but that does not seem to help.Hi,
It's actually what appears immediately to the right of the word "iPad" that you need to look for. If all you see is the word iPad and no other symbols, then you do not have a data connection to the internet.
If your iPad is a 3G model (withna sim card), you should have a number of connectivity symbols which could be displayed (depending on connection strength). If your iPad is a Wi-Fi only model, you would see the wi-fi symbols appearing indicating wireless connection strength.
Check you are connected to a wi-fi network correctly by launching the settings app and tapping Wi-Fi (near the top of the options which appear), then selecting the appropriate wi fi network which appears on the right.
This article provides some more info and also shows the symbols you should see:

To follow up on my question. Only because this is the first time I am using this forum.
I have owned the iPad for approximately six months.
I have been using the iPad at home thru my wireless network, no problems.
In addition to my IPad I connect to the intent with my laptop, and my cell phone. No problem.
Suddenly approximately five days ago I have not been able to connect my IPad to the Internet. Laptop and cell phone still connect.
However when I leave my home I am able to connect my IPad from the Public Library and from Starbucks.
Can anyone give me some advice on how to get connected from my home.
Not sure how or when I can expect a response to this problem.
Thanks
Bill
<Email Edited by Host>Thanks, however I am not familiar with the Sleep and Homekey buttons on my IPad.
What I plan to do when I get home from Starbucks is, Settings/general/Reset/reset network
I have rebooted my router no luck.
Am I missing something on not knowing about the Sleep and Homekey?
Thanks,

I am looking at setting up a Local Wifi Network using a Mac and Airport Extreme.
I wish to store presentations on the Mac.
I wish to teach from the presentations through Apple TVs in my classrooms using IPad to control presentation, annotate etc
I don't want to have to upload presentation to iPad from Mac as this will be in server room.
I don't want to access internet so iCloud Drive is out of the question.
What options do I have?
Many thanks
DaveYou would need to find an app that lets you remotely access the Mac (e.g. Logmein). You would need to be aware of how much the network can handle.

Airport Express 2nd gen will connect to the internet through LAN but not over wifi?
Interesting issue, I can stream Apple TV connected to the LAN port, send Airplay music to my receiver from my iphone, but cannot access the internet over wifi. So it's not Comcast, it has to be the Airport Express, but not ALL of the Airport Express, just the part that sends the internet signal. Is that even possible? I've restarted reset (hard and soft), re-setup, and unplugged everything 100 times, but to no avail. Any ideas?
Thanks!Ok, thank you.
I know you already tried a number of resets, but please give the following a try to verify that you can get basic Internet access via a wireless connection to the Express from any of your wireless network clients.
I would recommend that you do the following as a minimum:
Power-down the modem, AirPort base station, and computer(s).
Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes to allow it adequate time to initialize.
Power-up the AirPort base station; wait at least 5-10 minutes. Note: The AirPort's status light may continue to flash amber after it has intialized. That is because, there may be some additional configuration items necessary, like setting up wireless security, before the overall setup is completed to get a green status.
Power-up your computer(s).
If the above steps do not solve the problem, start over with step 1 above, but then perform the next steps between steps 1 & 2. above.
Disconnect the AirPort base station from the Internet broadband modem.
While all of the devices are powered-down, perform a "factory default" reset on the base station. This will get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration and make setting it up much easier, especially if you use the "Assist me" process within the AirPort Utility. (ref: Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule)
After the base station resets, go ahead and power it back down.
Reconnect the AirPort base station to the Internet broadband modem. For the Extreme and Time Capsule, be sure to connect the cable to the base station's WAN (circle-of-dots) port.
Continue with step 2 in the first set of steps.
In this basic configuration, the AirPort base station will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a Network Name (SSID) of Apple Network NNNNNN. Network clients, connected to the base station either by wire or wireless, should now be able to access the Internet through the ISP's modem. Once Internet connectivity has been verified, you can use the AirPort Utility to configure the base station for wireless security and any other desired options. Please post back your results. -
When my brand new MacBookPro awakes from sleep it has lost its internet connection. It goes to Network Diagnostics and I need to step through all the pages to get to the end where it says connection is o.k. Is this a bug in Lion or could it be a corrupt file migrated over from my old MacBook Pro which would frequently lose its Airport connection and couldn't be reconnected until it cooled down. (This one always shows full bars on the Airport indicator).
That's definitely just paranoia. First, because in sleep mode, there's no internet connection. The computer might as well be turned off as far as the network is concerned, and there's no activity in the computer other than a bare trickle of electricity to maintain the RAM. The processor is doing nothing.
Second, Macs are quite difficult to hack, and if you're on a wireless network, the wireless router protects you from incoming attacks from the outside world.
Of course, you should be able to leave Safari open with no open windows and not affect your ability to get online when it wakes up. If you can reproduce that reliably, and if I can as well (haven't had a chance to try it yet), then it should be reported to Apple.
