IPhone settings for Network for tethering

I accidentally deleted my iPhone from the Network on my macbook system preferences. How can I add it again so I can use the tethering, because it isn't finding the USB and also isn't connecting to the Bluetooth.

ok, well maybe the tethering button should be goon, but bluetooth is still jacked
If you did not pay for the plan, you may have made it work one time, but your provider may have detected TCP and UDP ports not normally used by a phone, opened by your tethered computer. This may have disabled your tether capability.. Besides, paying for a tether plan not only increase your limit, but also open up all the other ports except port 25 to allow your computer to access the net better.

    My iPhone is downloading an odd email here and there that doesn't appear on my iMac mail at work.Just read an email on my iPhone that I received at 6.00 this morning.checked my iPhone settings for mail,delete after download is off so not sure whats wrong.Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Can you do setup an unread mail folder that shows all unread mail regardless of what folder it really is in on the iPhone mail program somehow?
    No.
    If not, can this be submitted as an enhancement as it makes email use very cumbersome.
    Yes. You can submit feedback to Apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html.

  • Is there a limit to how many IP addresses can be allocated by an iPhone 4 for tethering?

    In order to activate 30x iPods, I had to try to tether them one by one to my iPhone 4. I would tether one, activate it, switch it off totally (my data provider only allows 1 or 2 tethers at the same time), then move on to the next one. Unfortunately, this only worked properly around 9 - 10 times. After this, although new devices would appear as tethered on the iPhone, they would not be allocated an IP address by the phone and so could not get Internet access (they reverted to APIPA addresses). I could not then tether anything else to the phone that hadn't already been joined. The only cure I found was to totally restore the iPhone.
    Is there a limit to how many IPs can be allocated by the iPhone 4?
    Are these allocations time-limited, so I can re-use addresses after a period of time without having to restore the phone?

    Are those photos or videos in your camera roll? or in shared albums or photostream?
    You can only import photos from camera roll.

  • When I go into my iPhone settings for Wi-Fi and I click the on/off button, it wont turn on?

    Why won't my Wi-Fi button turn on when I click it repeatedly?

    What happens when to go to Settings > Wi-Fi
    If the Wi-Fi button frayed out? Or does it not move when you try to turn it on?
    Maybe a reboot will help here?
    First thing to try is a reboot of your iPad. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the iPad restart. See if that fixes your problem.

  • Missing TCP/IP settings for iPhone tethering (Bluetooth and USB)

    Is it just me or Apple has completely disabled the TCP/IP settings for BT and USB connections for iPhone tethering (and possibly any other mobile devices)?
    I can now only set the IP addresses and DNS server. No Proxies or WINS settings tabs.
    I have also noticed that if you setup a USB tethering connection in Leopard and upgrade to Snow Leopard, the settings are still available, but NOT if you make a clean install of Snow Leopard and create a new iPhone USB tethering connection.
    I always use a SOCKS5 when I'm using my tethering connection for security and better/faster connection with my manual proxy server setup. I find the new "options" in SL very limited, not only for my usage.

    I got this to work again (in fact, I'm tethered right now
    Here are the steps I followed:
    1) Upgraded to iTunes 9
    2) Upgraded iPhone to OS 3.1
    3) Removed device from Bluetooth Devices list on my MBP
    4) Removed Bluetooth PAN from Network preferences
    5) Restarted iPhone and MBP
    6) Set-up iPhone as a Bluetooth Device on MBP
    7) Enabled tethering on iPhone
    8) Connected to iPhone network via the Bluetooth icon on my MBP menu bar
    9) Verified that the blue "Internet Tethering" bar was on the iPhone
    10) Manually added Bluetooth PAN to my MBP network preferences (connect show as yellow, "IP cannot be assigned" message)
    11) Opened the Advanced pane and clicked the "Renew DHCP Lease" button
    12) IP was assigned!
    I'm not sure if the first two steps contributed to the solution or not, but these are the steps that worked for me.
    Good luck to you all...

  • What are the settings for apn data and mms for iphone 4 on straight talk?

    what are the settings for cellular data network APN DATA and MMS for Straighttalk sims on IPhone 4?I cant send or recieve pictures.My service keeps losin signal constantly saying no service then 1 bar,2 bars,3 bars...then back down to no service.It drops calls.Iv been trying to find out the answer to this problem for 2 weeks!I have no Profile selection in my settings either to do wat its showing online on one website.and have entered numerous diffrent APNs and none have worked!!!!PLEASE HELP!!!

    They're asking a question about carrier settings for their iPhone. I think that has everything to do with Apple.
    Maybe they did already ask Straight Talk. I've called Straight Talk before... they're not too helpful.
    You know, this forum would be much friendlier if people in this forum would quit squabbling, & posting comedic replies, not too mention name calling (like I did), when people are just needing some help.
    It's also frustrating that people stick up for the guy who doesn't help, but rather takes the time to post some smart alec reply. Granted, I shouldn't have name-called... some people just frustrate me when they act like that.
    Admittedly, there ARE some grey areas when it comes to carrier questions... but let the moderators do their job when someone is asking innappropriate stuff. And if the mods aren't chiming in, then that's a good indication that what the thread is about IS in fact Apple related.

  • What is the best option for tethering my IPhone 4s with my iPad? (the iPad is wifi only)

    What is the best option for tethering my IPhone 4s with my iPad? (the iPad is wifi only)

    #1. Understand that if you switch carriers, you can NOT take your existing iPhone with you. It won't work. You will need to purchase a new one.
    #2. Your only choices are Sprint and Verizon. Decide who has the better coverage in your area. Keep in mind that you will NOT be able to get simultaneous voice and 3G data on either of these, as their CDMA networks do not support it. The U.S. T-Mobile network is not supported and is not fully compatible with the iPhone as it operates on a rarely used frequency compared to the rest of the world.
    #3. What in the world are "niners"? Do you mean you want to be able to keep your existing "phone numbers"? If so, that should be no problem. Most numbers in the US are now portable.
    #4. Consider WHY you want to switch. If the issue is really price, you're not going to see much of a difference. A few dollars a month at best for comparable voice and data plans.

  • Best Airport Basestation settings for iPhone speed

    Hi all, I thought I'd start a thread to capture the best settings for the Airport Basestations to get max speed for iPhone when using Wifi.
    I've found there is a big difference in network speed between a Mac and the iPhone even when on the same WiFi network. Try any of these tests on your iPhone and your Mac:
    http://i.dslr.net/tinyspeedtest.html
    http://iphonespeedtest.com/
    http://testmyiphone.com/
    Background from this article:
    http://www.iphonefreak.com/2008/07/dsl-reports-offers-iphone-friendly-speed-test .html
    Here's my experience to date (all subjective, no measurements yet).
    - WPA2 and any form of network encryption slows down the transfer speed to the iPhone
    - I'm currently using no encryption but MAC address filtering on the Airport BS
    - Basestation in bridge mode
    Please post your results

    Answered my own question:
    The answer is set your Wifi to B only and all the speed problems with the iPhone 3G will be fixed! There seems to be a problem with the 802.11G on the iPhone in my experience.

  • Good Morning, this morning I received the following error message when the iPhone connected to iTunes: itunes could not check for an update to the carrier settings for your iphone. an unknown error occurred (1635) iphone 3gs with IOS 5. any ideas? thx

    Hello,
    this morning I received the following error message when the iPhone connected to iTunes: i
    tunes could not check for an update to the carrier settings for your iphone. an unknown error occurred (1635) 
    any ideas? thx

    I get the same error (although in Dutch ;-)).
    It also says something like (I'm translating): "Make sure your network settings are correct and your networkconnection is active or try again later." Is there a way to find out these "correct networksettings"?
    I now get it for a week, eacht time I connect my iPhone to itunes...

  • I bought an unlocked Iphone 3GS, I needed to update Ios5 and restored the settings for that which was not authorised for unlocke, but after that iphone is not getting activate and no sim card insatlled error is there. i m using local sim card in Pakistan

    You didn't buy an 'unlocked' iPhone 3GS - you bought a 'hacked' one.
    Updating to iOS 5 removed the hack and the unofficial unlock.
    All you can do is try to find out which network the phone is locked to and ask them if they can unlock it properly.
    Otherwise, sell it or throw it away and buy an officially unlocked phone from an official source.

    Make sure your network setting are correct and your network connection is active or try again latter.

  • I recently changed my wifi password at home and now my iphone will not connect.  It will not ask me for a password just says will not connect to network.  Advice on how to get iphone to ask network password for wifi?

    I recently changed my wifi password at home and now my iphone will not connect.  It will not ask me for a password just says will not connect to network.  Advice on how to get iphone to ask network password for wifi?

    First, try tapping on the network in the Wi-Fi settings and then tap "forget this network". Then reselect the network in the main Wi-Fi settings screen and see if will then ask for a password. If not, try resetting the Network Settings in the General -> Reset section and then reconnecting to your W-iFi.
    Hope this helps.

  • When I sync ical on iphone with mac, every entry is multiplied.  What are the settings for syncing without repeats?

    When I sync ical on iphone with mac, every entry is multiplied.  What are the settings for syncing without repeats?

    If your wireless environment is less than ideal, as it is in most inhabited areas, the influence of other wireless networks and devices competing for the same very small portion of the electromagnetic spectrum will affect your network's performance. Your own wireless network is a microcosm of that environment.
    To mitigate the effects of competing wireless networks, use 5 GHz to the maximum practicable extent. It is comparatively free from interference contributed by other wireless devices and is likely to remain that way for some time. However, it is less tolerant of intervening obstructions and construction materials than the 2.4 GHz spectrum, so it's not a panacea. Every installation is different so you must experiment to determine the optimum configuration.
    Place your wireless router (what kind is it?) in a central location, convenient to all the devices that require it. Most of the time a utility or ISP will locate it in some remote corner next to the utility service entrance. That is almost always the worst possible location.
    Others find that only a direct wired Ethernet connection between router and devices will maintain uninterrupted access to Airplay.
    That is almost certain to result in the best possible AirPlay performance. Short of having everything hard wired (it's not an option for the iPad for example) use an Ethernet connection for all the devices that lend themselves to that method. Your AppleTV is certainly one of them, since its location is not likely to change very often. Your AirPort Express should be another, since your audio systems are likely to stay put as well. Connect them both to your existing router, either directly or through an inexpensive Ethernet switch. Your problems are likely to be solved with just those two connections.
