IPhone and a Macbook

Hi there,
Does anybody out there know the ins and outs of using the iPhone to get on-line with a Macbook? I'm a photographer and currently use a USB connected 3G modem to transmit my work when on the road and out of a wifi zone - would love the iPhone to replace this connectivity - can it be done?
This would make the difference to me buying or not buying. And does anybody know when the iPhone will get onto 3G in the UK (spring/summer 08 ?), rather than this stupid Edge thing...
Thanks,
Mark

The iPhone currently does not operate as a modem
Shame really

iCloud is only available in Lion, 10.7. You will have to upgrade to Lion in order to get into iCloud. If you transfered a .mac or .me address to iCloud through mobile me, or you have another device iCloud enabled, then you can log into the iCloud.com website.

I have an iMac, an iPhone, and a MacBook Pro. My full iTunes library is on the iMac and iPhone, but only a handful of songs are on my MacBook. They are all associated with the same Apple ID. How do I get all of my music on the laptop?

When I try to sync, I get a warning message stating that I will lose songs on my phone which aren't on the laptop. How transfer my music from my phone to the laptop?

Hey kbert73
I would do a transfer of purchases from the phone and not sync. If you sync then it will want to start over and sync music that is on the MacBook Pro. If you want to transfer the music, check out the article below that will give you multiple options on how to move. I have also provided on how to sync with multiple computers.

Have you looked in iPhoto on your Mac under the "Photo Stream" area shown on the left sidebar?

Discrepancy between birthday entries on my iPhone and my MacBook Pro Calendar

How do I correct the discrepancy between birthday entries on my iPhone and my Macbook Pro Calendar? Say I entered June 11 on my iPhone and it will appear in my Calendar as June 12-- one day late! I use iCloud to sync Calendar and Contacts in my Apple devices.

Check your Settings on both devices. Is iCloud's calender sync turned on (Settings > iCloud > Calendar)? Please make also sure that you are not only using local calendars.

How can I delete useless memory on both my iPhone and my Macbook Pro?

How can I delete useless memory on both my iPhone and my Macbook Pro?

I don't know much about iPhones but when you write "memory" do you mean the data on your hard drive on your MacBook Pro? If so, simply drag the items you deem as useless into the Trash and empty the Trash. DON'T fool around with any of the system items, just your own documents that you feel that you no longer need.
You can get an answer on freeing up space on your iPhone in the iPhone forum.

My icloud is not collecting emails on my iMac, though they are coming through on the iphone and the macbook air

icloud emails are not coming through on my imac, though the gmail is ok. The icloud emails are coming through fine on the iphone and the macbook. Any ideas?

On the iMac, open System Preferences > iCloud
Deslect the box next to Mail then reselect it.
Give iCloud a minute or two to re sync the data.

I have 2 iphones and a macbook on one mobile me account. How can I keep mail in the macbook and one iphone private from the other iphone?

I have an iPhone 3G, an iPhone 3GS, and a MacBook on one macmail and mobile me account. How can I keep mail on the MacBook and iPhone 3 private from the iPhone 3GS?

Pretty much. I don't understand why you need to worry about MobileMe, though. I'd guess the vast majority of us with iDevices don't have MobileMe accounts at all. That's pretty much why it failed.

Why can't my iPad 3, my iPhone and my MacBook pro won't pair using Bluetooth?

The point is that someone has to program this function and maintain it as well.
This costs money...
There are separate Bluetooth apps available.
An app cannot add Bluetooth profiles that iOS does not have.
OK, that's it then ... no Bluetooth possible in this particular case!

Manually manage music with new iPhone and new MacBook?

I have a new iPhone 6 that auto syncs with an old MBP iTunes library. I just got a new MBA and want to manually manage music between my new iPhone and my new computer. I don't want to transfer all of my music files onto my new MBA in efforts to save space.
I just want to keep all the music files that are currently on my phone, and have the ability to add more files as needed from my NEW MacBook.
Any help would be much appreciated!

Hi ksatia,
If you'd like to manually manage your content, which would allow you to sync content with multiple computers, then please take a look at the information in the article linked to below.

Accessing email from BOTH your iPhone and your MacBook

So, two devices accessing the same POP email. I have all machines set to NOT delete messages on the server - but it seems as though some mail comes to my MacBOOk and some to my iPhone. At least it seems that the ones that do not come fully to my iPhone say that "this messages was not downloaded from the server."
I'm certain that I haven't set something up right.
Do I have to switch to IMAP???
I'm using a Pro Gmail account
Thanks for any suggestions.

iCloud calendar are all connected. If you deleted a calendar from one device, it would erase it across all devices. Do you use time machine??

The lastest iTunes upgrade broke my wireless syncing between my iPhone and my Macbook Pro

iTunes was actually working before the latest update. Now I cannot wirelessly sync my phone to either my MacBook Pro or my PC.

Hi, AppleJR.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I understand that you are unable to sync via Wi-Fi after updating iTunes. I would start with going through the troubleshooting steps outlined below.
Quit and reopen iTunes and restart your iOS device
Quit and reopen iTunes on your computer. Then, restart your iOS device.Restart your network router
Restart your home network router using the manufacturer's instructions. You may need to disconnect the power cord for 30 seconds or more.
Note: During this time, Internet services, such as a VoIP-based phone, won't work, and you may need to reset additional network devices.Check your network connection
Make sure that your Wi-Fi network has an active Internet connection.
Make sure that you connect your iOS devices and computer to the same network over Wi-Fi.
Check for network configuration changes that may interfere with syncing:
VPN configurations
Extending the Wi-Fi network through multiple wireless access points or routers
Guest networks or other security configurations that limit access between devices
Routers that configure different networks for different frequencies such as 2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz
Connecting the computer over Ethernet
Wake up your computer and open iTunes. If your computer is asleep or iTunes isn't open, the device may not sync.
Update your router. If you're using an AirPort or AirPort Time Capsule, you can learn more about firmware updates. If you're using a router from another manufacturer, contact the manufacturer to ask about available updates.
Check for network interference
If you see performance issues when you sync over Wi-Fi, something may be causing wireless interference:
Microwave ovens
Cordless phones
Physical barriers, such as metal walls or distance between your computer, base station, and iOS device
Try the following to reduce network interference:
Move your iOS device and computer closer to the Wi-Fi router or base station.
Check for sources of potential interference.
Remove your iOS device from any case, stand, or attachment.
Open Safari and try to load a webpage.
Check firewall settings
If you enabled a firewall on your router or computer, make sure that your computer and iOS device can communicate.
Follow these steps to use the built-in firewall option with iTunes on your Mac.
For third-party firewalls and security software, see the developer or manufacturer for assistance.
Mac computers use port 123 to set the date and time automatically. Incorrect date and time on a computer or iOS device can cause connection issues. If you don't know if your router has a firewall or if the required ports are open, follow these steps:
Enable Wi-Fi syncing for additional iOS devices on your network to see if they have the same issue. (See the previous steps to enable Wi-Fi syncing for additional devices.)
Test your device on a different network. If the device works on another network, the issue may be your router or network configuration. Contact your router manufacturer or Internet service provider for additional troubleshooting.
If you use another security or firewall software on your computer or router, you can troubleshoot security software issues, contact the manufacturer, or check the documentation to learn how to open TCP ports 123 and 3689 as well as UDP ports 123 and 5353.
