Is there any way of sharing my Macbook Pro's Wifi connection to iPhone 4 (Not Using iPhone as hotspot for laptop the other way around)

So a nasty smash destroyed both Front & Back of my iPhone 4, and since having them replaced the Wifi signal has been really weak.
I have seen other posts about screen replacement having to be done by going through the antenna, so something could be missing, or done incorrectly during the screen repair. Will definately be taking it back to the shop and finding out if It was put back together properly.
In the meantime I was wondering if it is possible to share my Macbook Pro's Wifi (always full signal in my house) directly to my iPhone either using USB cable or through bluetooth. It's not been too much of a problem but it would be nice to use my iPhone in bedroom using the Macbooks good signal.
Note: The replacement front screen on iPhone has a small gap >1mm between the screen and centre metal casing on the left side just above the Silent/Loud Switch, which can be noticed by light leaking through the gap. The metal casing also still has a small dent between the volume down buttons and silent/loud switch, again nothing drastic 1mm maximum

Here is the start of the setup:
Click on the Wi-Fi Options button and provide the needed info:
Click on the OK button. Now check the Internet Sharing box to turn it all on. If the port box you checked is no longer checked, then uncheck Internet Sharing, check the port box again, then check the Internet Sharing box again.

  • HT3964 I just opened up my MacBook Pro after a few days of not using it and it was frozen. I turned it off and back on and all I see is a white screen, there was a file with a question mark flashing for a bit but I can't do anything, please help me!!

    Jerricayoung,
    you have a 13-inch Mid 2012 MacBook Pro. It’s modern enough that it supports booting into Recovery mode. To do so, hold down a Command key and the R key as you start up. It should eventually show a Mac OS X Utilities menu. Select Disk Utility from that menu; when the Disk Utility window appears, select the bootable volume from the left-hand side of the window. (It’s typically called “Macintosh HD”.) When the volume is selected, some buttons will appear on the right-hand side. If it’s not greyed out, press the Verify Disk button; if it is greyed out, or if it reports on errors that it found, press the Repair Disk button. Once the verification/repair is completed, exit Disk Utility and select Restart from the Apple menu; that will restart your MacBook Pro in its normal mode. With luck, that will be enough to get you to your normal login screen, rather than the white screen.

  • Event in ical on my iphone 4 does not  synch with ical on my imac. the other way around works perfect

    the other way around works perfect. does anyone has a clue?

    I just realized I am having the same problem.  All iCal events are on my iMac, but I can only view the last 12 months or so on my iPhone 4s.  Searching within iCal or the main Search window on the iPhone give the same results, zero.
    So when I am at the doctors and they want to know when my child last saw Dr. SoAndSo, the search on the phone shows zero, when I know this is an annual appointment.
    Very frustrating.  I hope there is a setting that I've just missed since I got the phone last Fall.

  • 2008 MacBook Pro with wifi connectivity issues

    Hello all,
    My MacBook Pro has stopped connecting to my wireless internet at my house. Works fine when connected to the Ethernet, but no luck with wireless. My iPad, iPhone, and wife's MacBook Pro have no issues picking up the signal. When I attempted the network diagnostics, the wifi will not turn on. The button that enables you to TURN ON WIFI does not respond. I made a trip to the local apple store where they reset the wireless and it worked fine in the store. Took it home and same problem still existed.   Diagnostic report at the apple store showed no problems with wireless card.
    Any thoughts, comments, or wisdom would be appreciated!

    Apple released a firmware update for your MBP model to enable it to charge properly with the new-style adapters, after failures to do so were widely reported. Here's an article about the problem:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3499
    And here's a link to the update:

    As with all firmware updates, it's essential to follow the installation instructions to the letter.

  • MacBook Pro loses wifi connection upon wake since I bought a new AirPort Express

    Hi. I've been using Apple devices and computers since february 2008 and had no problems until now. I currently own an early 2011 13" MacBook Pro and a PC running Windows 7 and Ubuntu 12.10. Until early February, I used a 2nd gen AirPort Extreme to connect to wifi upstairs, being connected via Ethernet to my ISP's modem located downstairs which provides a weak wifi signal (of course my ISP says it's impossible since their modem is the best on the market), not even compatible with Apple's wifi systems (all other French ISPs modems are compatible with it), that's why I had to get a 30 ft ethernet cable running down the stairs. My connection was lost everytime I went upstairs/downstairs so I bought a new Airport Express to replace my ISP's modem wifi signal and I'm using my AirPort Extreme to extend the wifi network upstairs. Now all my devices and computers have a strong wifi signal anywhere in my house with only one downside: My MacBook Pro (and only it) loses the wifi connection upon wake after sleep and I have to disconnect/reconnect it manually. I didn't bother installing Windows on it as I removed the Superdrive to setup a DIY Fusion Drive a few months ago so I can no longer boot optical medias and I can't know if it's a hardware or software problem. Again, everything was working all right on it until I changed my Wifi network configuration a month ago when I bought my Airport Express.
    Can anyone help me ?
    Thanks in advance.

    Well this isn't making sence. 
    What is the model # on your extreme?

  • Macbook pro has wifi connected but won't open internet - says computer offline - works fine on ethernet and other pc's

    Any ideas on how to resolve this issue - wifi is connected but the web browser won't open - gives message that computer is offline. It works fine on ethernet and also on other computers in house. no other modem or devices in home.
    computer one year old.

    He advised me to 'back up' everything and 'reformat' the computer.
    I have been looking at how to do these tasks - not 100% on both.
    The quickest way to do this is to create a clone copy of your existing internal Macintosh HD. You can create this copy using applications like Data Backup, Carbon Copy Cloner, or SuperDuper!.
    I use an external USB HDD for the clone copies.
    The following AppleInsider article will give you an idea on how to use Carbon Copy Cloner to make a clone backup of your Mac's hard drive.

  • MacBook Pro losing WiFi connection. Problem with AirPort Card

    My MacBook Pro keeps losing Wifi connection. Sometimes it says no AirPort Card is installed.  It has also been freezing, and the only solution is to hold the power button to turn it off. Then I have to restart the computer, but everything I was working on is lost.
    Any ideas what is wrong or how to fix?

    Sounds like your WiFi chip is going bad. Have you gotten it checked by an Apple Store rep ?
    Have you deleted the contents of /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration, rebooted and tried ?

  • Can Airport Express speed up my Macbook Pro's Wifi Connection?

    Hey all
    Just a thought, I'm with Virgin Media for my broadband and my Macbook and iPhone can be rather slow on the network. Plenty of devices on but my parents broadband speed should be plenty to manage them all.
    My question is, if I purchased an Airport Express, would that maybe speed up my Wifi connection on my Macbook?
    Not to sure so thought I'd ask
    Thanks
    Rob

    Hi Bob,
    My router and the Airport Express is located directly beneath my bedroom so within perfect range I'd say. I get between 2-3 out of 3 bars of wifi signal on my iPhone and 4/4 bars on my Macbook so I'd say I'm close enough however I have been thinking of trailing a network cable from the router to the airport express through the floor and putting the airport express in the same room as me.
    Thanks
    Rob

  • TS1398 Ever since the last update, my IPad does not automatically get connected to our WiFi. Never had any problems until this last update. Is there any repair?? Its going on 2 years old and does not use the

    If I go into settings and physically touch the WiFi that has been used since his was new than after waiting for 2 to 3 min it finally goes on line. I never had any problems until this last update. It always went on line automatically with out having to go into settings. Just a pain. Once I do this it usually stays on line.

    Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
    You will have to re enter your Wi-Fi password.

  • HT5622 had not used my itunes in awhile and the other day I was not able to access my itunes account, had to reinstall itunes and now I can not find any of my apps that I had in my library.

    Have not accessed my itunes account in some time, the day I found that I could not get itunes to run or even open up, I then tryed to reinstall itunes to my computer, I then was able to access my account and some of my library, but not any of my APPS??? How does one recover APPS lost in a reinstall.

    Are the files still physically on your HD?
    [User]/Music/iTunes/Media/Music is the default location. Unless you suddenly have a bunch of new "free space" on your hard drive, they're still where they were, you just need to create a new library file.

  • I have screwed up all my side bar settings and I can not use tools because I meesed up the path way. I havent had the app long Can i just rest it all?

    can i reset the program or do i just uninstall it ?

    Not exactly sure what you mean, but you can try going to Window>Workspace and either clicking on Essentials (Default) or Reset Workspace,
    Also, if you have photoshop cc 2014, you can right click on the big tool icon on the far left of the tool options
    bar, click on Reset All Tools and that will reset the tools to the default values and also show the default tools.

  • Macbook pro trying to connect to wrong mac address?

    Hey everyone,
    I'm running on a 2010 Macbook Pro OS X 10.7.2.
    Basically, my 309g-m stopped working the other day. I've tried reinstalling the drivers and software, but it still refuses to print (I get stuck at "looking for printer"). I have, however, noticed that when I'm adding a printer in system preferences, the printer is listed as "Photosmart Premium C309g-m [F1EDA7]." However, after connecting my printer to my network (via the printer), the page printed listed that my Hardware Address (MAC) is "78:e7:d1:f1:ed:a8" - So I think my Macbook is trying to connect to the wrong mac address.
    Any ideas? 
    P.S. I've tried to connect via IP and my computer cannot find the printer. 

    No, that all looks good.  Your printer's unique "name" is HP plus the last 6 digits of your printer's MAC address.
    On the front of the printer: Setup > Network > WIreless Network Test.  What does it say about the printer's wireless radio?
    Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.
    I am employed by HP

    My macbook pro 13-inch, Late 2011, is not charging properly. it charges for 4-5 seconds then stop and then continue. It charges normally when turned off. Could anyone care to explain what the problem is?

    Hi OneManArmy_,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  I would try resetting the SMC and seeing if that allows the charge to work when the system is on:
