If not why option available
Thanks!

What Carolyn says is correct. You can, however, share an Internet connection with your iPhone wirelessly by turning in Internet sharing (found in System Preferences > Sharing.) If your MacBook Pro is already using a wireless connection, you can just connect to the same wireless network it is using.
Best of luck.

Can a Powerbook running 10.4.11 share its internet connection with an iPhone 4s?

I have a 10-years-old Titanium PowerBook - still runs as good as new - with a Virgin Mobile 3G modem stuck in its backside. All my other Macs share the modem without any problems but my iPhone 4s doesn't seem to be able to. The iPhone logs onto the network like it should but every internet app on the phone tells me there's no connection.

Hello,
Sadly not as an iPhone 4 running iOS 6 or above needs Mac OS X 10.6.8 or higher to sync in iTunes.
Mac OS X 10.6 is not compatible with an PowerBook

Connecting my Touch via the USB cable

I am connecting the Touch to my car via the usb cable as it has a built in ipod app. The car recognises the Touch and I can access all the menus and songs, select what I want to play and play the song, all from the car controls. The only problem is that the music plays from the Touch instead of through the car. Any ideas? It is a 32Gb Ipod Touch running 3.1.3. Any help appreciated.

No you can't. It is iOS 7 or not at all. You need to update to the lastest software or not at all, so the choice is yours. Update to the latest software or not at all. Stick with what you have.
Also stop trolling this forum with the same stupid question to which you have had the same answer time and again.

Connect your iPhone to iTunes and restore or follow the prompts.

I am running my first backup on Time Machine using a Seagate external hard drive with a thunderbolt adapter and cable. I have a MacBook Pro 2011. It is backing up 11GB, and is telling me it will take approx two days. Is this normal?

Unfortunately, Safari cannot be updated past 5.1.10 on a Mac running v10.6.8.
So, the options are to upgrade to a newer OS X or use Firefox or Chrome.

I have a Lexmark printer which is a little old. So when i connect my iphone to it via the USB cable my printer doesn't recognise it. If i bought a bluetooth adaptor for the printer would i be able to print photos via bluetooth?

The only way to print from an iPad is to have a printer that supports AirPrint. Here's a link to an Apple support page on AirPrint.

AirPrint is way to print wirelessly via Wi-Fi but it requires that the printer supports AirPrint. The iPad cannot use Bluetooth to print and it will not print when connected via USB.

Using time capsule to share internet connection with a pc via ethernet

Hi,
I've recently acquired a time capsule and was wondering if i could use it to share a wireless internet connection via ethernet to my non-wireless (windows 7) pc?
My current situation is that i have a wireless modem/router that shares my internet connection wirelessly with my mac mini.
I have a pc without a wireless card that i want to connect to the wireless network so i was wondering if it was possible to attach the pc and the time capsule with an ethernet cable, then connect the time capsule to the wireless network and share the internet connection with the pc.
Can anyone tell me if this is possible, and if so how?
Thanks

Welcome to the discussion area!
IF...your wireless network is now being created by another Apple "n" router like an AirPort Extreme, AirPort Express or Time Capsule, it would be possible to do what you want to do.
But the Time Capsule would not be compatible for what you want if your wireless is created by another manufacturer's router. The Time Capsule could "join" this wireless network so that backups would occur over wireless. However, when the Time Capsule is configured this way, the ethernet ports on the device are not active, so this would not help with the ethernet connection that your computer needs.
A new AirPort Express 802.11n would do what you want. It has the capability of joining virtually any wireless network and the ethernet port can be enabled using the ProxySTA feature, so it would work for your purpose.

TS5254 Hi, is there a way to share my Macbook's internet connection to my iPhone via USB?

I want to share my Macbook's internet connection to my iPhone. I thought the internet sharing via iPhone USB would do the trick but I can't seem to get it working.
Issue arose because my iPhone wifi capabilities seem to have died (Wifi switch is greyed out and I can't switch it on), read a solution online that says I may have to restore my phone, however it requires me to turn off Find My iPhone, which I cannot do without an internet connnection. The only option being using the internet sharing function...
Any help would be appreciated.

I thought the internet sharing via iPhone USB would do the trick but I can't seem to get it working.
Thats because what you're tyring to is not possible. Internet sharing is for sharing the phones cellular connection over wifi, not the other way around.
which I cannot do without an internet connnection.
Is there a reason why phones standard cellular connection doesn't work for you?

I bought a used I pod touch 4, I deleted previous settings, now I just have a screen with a picture of the USB cable and the itunes logo. What do I do?

I bought a used Ipod touch, was supposedly factory refurbished, and it worked when I first used it. Then I noticed the previous owners User ID on the Apple log in and thought i should delete all info and start clean. I hit the delete button, Now all I get on the screen is a picture of the usb cable and above it the itunes logo. What do i do now?

Connect it to your computer, launch iTunes.
Right or control click the iPod under Devices left side of the iTunes window.
Click: Sync
If you want, you can rename the device. Double click the iPod under Devices. Type in a name.

What do you think of this book: "Programming and Problem Solving with Java"

Hello Everyone:
This may be a strange post but I am wondering if anyone has read this book and what do you think of it?
Book Information
Title: Programming and Problem Solving with Java
Authors: Neell Dale, Chip Weens, Mark Headington
Publisher: Jones & Bartlett
Thanks for any comments

No believe me the book is bad! The only reason I asked is I am in a university class that uses those two books for there course. The author messed up on HelloWorld.java with 4 errors at compile time! How can anyone be that stupid since they are the ones who are supposed to be teaching me the fundamentals of Java. Anyhow I just wanted other people's thoughts about the books.
Thanks again for your input.
