Is it possible to use the iPhone as a modem and pick up the internet ?

I wondered if it was possible to use the airport facility on an iMac G5 to pick up the internet from an iPhone placed near by ? THis would effectively make the iPhone a wireless modem ?
I've not got an iPhone yet and this would be really useful.
Thanks in advance.

The iPhone does not currently support tethering. There was an app that did that, but it was pulled from the App Store after only a few hours of availability, and all such apps have apparently been banned.

  • What files do I need to download iPhone photos to a thin client (HP)? Apple Mobile Support gives 4 dll files to enable the iPhone to be detected and charged but the thin client doesn't see the camera or hard drive.

    The iTunes Installation files include 4 driver dlls that I can install on a Windows thin client to enable the iPhone to be charged.
    The iPhone hard drive or photos are not detected.  I guess I need scanner driver support to cope with the camera.
    Can anyone tell me which files from the iTune installation set are needed.
    It is not practical (or even possible?) to install the whole iTunes package.
    I've seen this question asked by a lot of people but never seen an answer. 
    Please, can someone help... 

    Thanks for the reply. 
    A thin client is used to connect to a Terminal Server, or in my customer's case, a Citrix Server.  I need the thin client to see the iPhone as a camera and pass it to the Citrix Client so the photos can THEN be either stored on a network storage device, or e-mailed.
    Because the thin client doesn't even SEE a camera (i.e. the iPhone) it won't be able to connect to iCloud to do anything useful. 
    I think the question I should be asking, is how do I give the thin client Camera Support.
    I've just seen a 2008 forum comment that said the iPhone DOESN'T handle photos through iTunes, but the PC (Scanner support) or MAC (iPhoto) handles them directly.  I should be putting the question to HP.
    This is still a good place for THIS question, because I've seen so many iPhone users asking it...
    If I get a satisfactory answer I'll post it back here.

    If you had purchased a HTC One it would have been the same thing.
    If you had purchased a Nokia runing Windows it would have been the same thing.
    This is a huge bad point about cell phones, not iPhones.

  • Can the iPhone have settings profiles?  I want the settings of what apps are using the "call home" automatically set based on my location or the time of day.  Is this possible?

    Can the iPhone have settings profiles?  I want the settings of what apps are using the "call home" automatically set based on my location or the time of day.  Is this possible?  Of course the GPS location feature will need to be on in order for this to work.  But the idea here would be to optimize battery life by disabling the 'call home' requests of apps.  The settings profile should also support downloads as I would like to download and allow it when I am on WiFi but not so much when I am using my cellular data.

    No, this is not possible as the sandboxed nature of iOS would not allow any app to modify another app like that. Such a feature would have to be enabled by Apple as a part of iOS itself. You can submit feedback to Apple about the idea if you wish to.

    If it was unlocked by unauthorized means it may not be possible to remove the hack; it depends on how it was done. Try this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    If you get error 3194 or 1015 then it is not possible.

  • Is it possible to use an iPhone as a controller for iPad (for games).

    Is it possible to use an iPhone as a controller for iPad?
    And if so what apps are supported.
    And will gta 3, vice city, San Andreas and dead trigger 2 work with it.

    The only game I know of that does this is "The Incident" - it's not a built-in iOS feature. The developers of that game specifically have allowed it.

  • How can I transfer video taken with my iPhone to my iPad WITHOUT using a computer or iTunes? I'm going to Europe for a month and want to use my iPhone to take pics and video, then come back to the hotel room and use my iPad to edit/store each evening.

    How can I transfer video taken with my iPhone to my iPad WITHOUT using a computer or iTunes? I'm going to Europe for a month and want to use my iPhone to take pics and video, then come back to the hotel room and use my iPad to edit/store each evening. I don't want to use my iPad to take the video...too large/bulky. And I WON'T have a computer with me...I purchased the iPad to take with me so I could use the RDC to my home computer and avoid taking my computer at all. Is this possible?

    here is a cheaper solution than camera kit and a lot easier if you have WIFI available.
    I use the PhotoSync APP (I think its a $1.99) will transfer videos and photos over WIFI to any other IOS device or even PC/MAC. Great app since I like doing video and photos on my IPHONE and transfer to IPAD2 without synching through computer or doing cloud based storage.
    You can even send photos/videos from your MAC/PC to your IOS devices that way too. Makes it so much easier.

  • Have I an Ipod HiFi A1121 and I would like to know if it is possible to use my iphone 4 with it.

    I have an Ipod HiFi A1121 and I would like to know if it is possible to use my iphone 4 with it. Thanks.

    Hello,
    Yes, you can use your iPhone 4 with it, but I don't recommend using it with the dock connector as it wasn't designed for the iPhone 4 and you may have unexpected results.
    I recommend using it with the auxilliary jack on the back of the unit.  That's how I use mine and it works great to this very day.  The iPod-Hifi is still an amazing and great sounding unit and they're incredibly rare to find now of days.  I saw one on sale at Amazon.com for $999 haha!

  • Is it possible to use an iphone 5s with contract(verizon) to use it in india after unlocking

    is it possible to use an iphone 5s with contract(verizon) to use it in india after unlocking

    The 5s claims it has more LTE bands than ever. Which is does if you read the tech specs on it. If I was going to go there, I would do some research. If you plan on sliding in a sim card from a german carrier, what German carrier and what LTE bands do they use? Thats what I would do.
    There is a significant amount of LTE bands added on the Iphone 5s compared to the 5 yes. Will it work? It might depending on what carrier you plan to use like I said. I can't answer that sorry.

  • Is it possible to use face time with my iphone4 with 3G  when the wi-fi is not avalable because my friend own a 4S and he can? Thank you...

    Is it possible to use face time with my iphone4 with 3G when the wi-fi is not avalable

    Hi,
    The Blurb
    The * items message that is at the bottom
    *FaceTime video calling requires a FaceTime-enabled device for the caller and recipient and a Wi-Fi connection. FaceTime over a mobile network requires iPhone 4S, iPhone 5 or iPad (3rd generation) with mobile data capability. Availability over a mobile network depends on carrier policies; data charges may apply.
    Some features may not be available in all countries or all areas. Click here to see complete list.
    It is not specifically saying it is 4G only phones.
    It is not saying it is 3G either.
    It is not listing an iPhone 4  (only the 4S)
    It seems whether 3G can or cannot or if the iPhone can do 4G and it is available it seems that particular model will not.

  • Is it possible to use locked iPhone (without any SIM) as a testing device?

    Hey guys,
    is it possible to use american iPhone (locked on AT&T) as a testing device with xcode for debugging apps?
    I won't even insert any SIM in it, just need to know if it's possible, or the device must have signal? (I will activate the iPhone with official ATT sim, but then remove it)
    Thanks for your answers,
    Dominik

    Pretend it is a touch. No signal so you can't test phone related code, otherwise yes you can use it for testing.

  • Is there any way to enable rSAP, use the iPhone as a modem, create sms folders, and show the day's calender on the home screen?

    Hi folks
    Had iPhone for a while and generally happy, but it seems I still need to keep my old nokia E72 because I cannot seem to use the iPhone as a modem, nor does it support rSAP.
    Also, while I like the threaded sms view, I'd also like the option to create sms folders to stash away my banking sms info, all of which comes from different numbers, and filled the sms inbox with hundreds of messages.
    Lastly, having the meeting for the day diplayed somewhere on the home screen would be great if there were a way to do it. Yes, I can go into calender easy enough, but unless I develop the habit of checking it all the time, I often forget about a meeting whereas on the old nokia, it was always displayed.
    What gives with the lack of flash support? Maybe ol Steve dislikes adobe, but it seems like a serious lack to me. Even the old nokia has some flash support.
    Given that, I must say I love the seperate calenders and contacts. It's great to be able to keep home contacts seperate from work ones, but still have them on the same phone. Email is great two - full html support seems like a given but it works really well.

    rSAP has largely been supplanted by ABAP, which the iPhone supports. Most modern smartphones, including the iPhone do NOT store any information on the SIM.
    SMS inboxes. Not much to say. I've never had a desire to do this. I understand it could be useful, but it's unlikely to change.
    As for meetings on the home screen... Wait for iOS 5
    Flash: it's not JUST that Steve doesn't like flash. Adobe has failed to produce a workable version of Flash for iOS. Blame has to go to both sides.  I say good riddance to it.

  • I need a new phone and ipod, would I be able to use an iPhone as a phone and iPod only and not have to buy the internet data plan?

    I need a new phone and iPod, would I be able to use an iPhone as a phone and iPod, without having to purchase the internet date plan?

    You cannot do this.  iPhones have to be activated with a service plan before any of the features, including the iPod features can be used.
