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...

  • TCP/IP settings for airport card

    ok, first off...please take it easy on me...i'm a windows guy but am close to purchasing a mac for my girlfriend and also have an iPhone so please understand that i love macs, just don't know too much about them..yet
    i have a need to set TCP/IP settings for an airport card when the mac connects to a specific SSID (Peanut Gang). the problem is due to the fact that when macs connect to a linksys WRE54G wireless repeater, they do not obtain the TCP/IP info. you can go into system prefs -> network and renew the lease and it obtains the info but i've been asked to "automate" this process.
    ok, i'm not sure if it's possible but when i saw the "automator" section here i thought i would ask. i know how i could do it through scripting on a windows machine but i digress, ha!
    thanks

    You may want to ask this over in the "Networking" group.
    Also clarify whether you're having these issues with a mac you have, or just what.
    Might want to specify what kind of mac is having this problem, too.
    And be ready to explain just what you're asking when you say:"need to set TCP/IP settings for an airport card when the mac connects to a specific SSID"
    There are some pretty good blokes in that discussion group.
    welcome

  • My facetime wont turn on in my settings for iphone 4......also itunes wont download new update 4.3.2.....plz help

    my facetime wont turn on in my settings for iphone 4......also itunes wont download new update 4.3.2.....plz help

    Had exact same problem. Rang Apple support and various apple repairers. All of them said in effect, too bad, you'll have to lose everything since your last backup. It's a work phone with very important stuff on it and the latest backup was on a computer that had a virus. Convergence of crap :/
    Happened to talk to a friend who said to try replacing the battery. Did that. Problem fixed. All data saved.
    To all Apple support people: rather than say 'once it's in recovery mode you lose all data' try saying 'replace your battery and see if that works first'!!!!

  • Cannot tether to iPhone using bluetooth, only USB

    I am having an issue using bluetooth.  I am trying to connect my iphone using bluetooth, and it does pair.  but for some reason, i cannot get onto the internet.  I go to the network settings and it gives me a yellow circle beside "bluetooth pan".  But when I use my USB cord to connect my iPhone to the Macbook, the internet works.  You think there is a problem with my bluetooth?
    I was wondering because now I notice that my bluetooth wireless mighty mouse is acting funny.  It doesnt track properly... then again, I've always been having issues with my BT mighty mouse.
    Is there a way for me to test whether my bluetooth on the Macbook is working or not?

    i'm having the same problem too. you might want to use alternative by tether wifi or usb.
    it might be 7.0.3 bug

  • Tethering Question (Wifi, Bluetooth, and USB)

    I have an iPhone 5 and am able to tether  my LTE/3G connection to other devices. When I enable tethering, devices can get connected via Wifi, Bluetooth, or USB. Let's say I use my MacBook Pro to connect to all of those at once (so now the MacBook Pro is connected to the internet via Wifi, Bluetooth, AND USB). Does it use one of them over the others or does it use all of them at once to provide the fastest speeds?

    Does it use one of them over the others or does it use all of them at once to provide the fastest speeds?
    As has been pointed out above the Internet connection is provided by the phone through the carrier so even if the Mac did connect using all three connections, USB, WiFi and Bluetooth they would all be combined into one connection once in the phone  and out to the net so there would be no speed advantage, the phine and internet connection would be the bottleneck.
    In fact it is possible the speed would be lower as the phone would have to contend with the 3 connections into it.

  • How could I set the proxy settings for just some URLs and not for all?

    Hello,
    I am using HttpURLConnection to establish a HTTP connection . The connection pass through a proxy, and it requires security.
    I know that I can set the proxy settings in the system properties, and this works perfect.
    But I don't want to set the proxy settings in the system properties, because this proxy settings will be for ALL the URLs, and I just want for a few URLs.
    How could I set the proxy settings for just some URLs and not for all?
    Thanks

  • Multiple Renditions for iPhone 3/4 and iPhone 5

    I need to create a single folio viewer iPhone app with multiple renditions for iPhone 3/4 and iPhone 5. What is the best way to go about this?

    You can't create a single folio viewer for iPhone. You'll need to create a multi-folio viewer, and it must be iPad+iPhone combined. There's no option for iPhone-only.

  • HT4623 When I was update ios6 for iPhone 4 , mail and application are hung , why ?

    When I was update iOS 6 for iPhone 4, mail and application are hung , why ? How I should do for that ?

    They don't let you downgrade.  You have to eat what Apple tells you to and think what they tell you to.  If you liked the older software better than tough ****.  You know what you should do??  You should throw away that garbage that Apple has sold you that they call a phone and get something by anyone else because no one else regulates what you get to do and say about your phone in such an extreme manner.  Not being mean to you friend.  Just know that as long as Apple is answering your questions that you will never get a definate answer and at best you will get something that you don't like but have to get used too.

  • TS3048 Bluetooth and USB ports aren't working can't connect mouse or keyboard.

    Bluetooth and USB ports aren't working, so am unable to use Imac past turning it on. There's no way to connect mouse or keyboard, it started right after a software update for Maverick (OS X bash Update 1.0 – OS X Mavericks), bluetooth symbol not showing in the task bar at all.    

    Hi SBrwn,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    The symptom you're describing can be frustrating to troubleshoot as our options are limited. I do suggest resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) if you have not already. This step can help you regain use of USB and Bluetooth.
    Follow these steps to reset the SMC on your iMac:
    Resetting the SMC for Mac Pro, Intel-based iMac, Intel-based Mac mini, or Intel-based Xserve
    Shut down the computer. [by holding down the power button]
    Unplug the computer's power cord.
    Wait fifteen seconds.
    Attach the computer's power cord.
    Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer.
    You can find these steps and more information at this link:
    Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    All the best,
    Jeremy

  • Nissan Altima BlueTooth and USB problems

    Just picked up my 2010 Nissan Altima with Premium Sound Package (includes BlueTooth and USB). Palm P100EWW on Sprint.
    Problem 1)  Bluetooth pairs and connects, allows me to make or receive calls.  However, it did not download my phone book, so I am not able to call people by saying their names.  If I say List Phonebook, it says that there are no entries to list.  Help!?
    Problem 2)  I want to play music via the USB.  When I connect my Pre, the car screen says "Check Device" and will not do anything else.  Help!?
    Thanks in advance,

  • Apple certified cable for AV RCA out and USB sync with BMW car's COMBOX

    My recently purchased Apple certified cable for AV RCA out and USB sync works very well with the PC and TV. I bought it to connect to my BMW car's COMBOX interface which is designed to connect to Apple products.
    It doesn't even power up and BMW fails to recognize iPod, same combox works well with the original usb sync cable which came with the iPod but that doesn't have AV out so can't play music and video to the head unit. I think this could be due to low power coming from the car's USB, am I right to think this? If yes what options have I got to fix this? Can I supply additional power to iPod?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    I'm afraid that's to be expected in most cases, you need to turn your TV speakers off.
