  • TS5254 Hi, is there a way to share my Macbook's internet connection to my iPhone via USB?

    I want to share my Macbook's internet connection to my iPhone. I thought the internet sharing via iPhone USB would do the trick but I can't seem to get it working.
    Issue arose because my iPhone wifi capabilities seem to have died (Wifi switch is greyed out and I can't switch it on), read a solution online that says I may have to restore my phone, however it requires me to turn off Find My iPhone, which I cannot do without an internet connnection. The only option being using the internet sharing function...
    Any help would be appreciated.

    I thought the internet sharing via iPhone USB would do the trick but I can't seem to get it working.
    Thats because what you're tyring to is not possible.  Internet sharing is for sharing the phones cellular connection over wifi, not the other way around.
    which I cannot do without an internet connnection.
    Is there a reason why phones standard cellular connection doesn't work for you?

    What is the reason for Apple to skip this function? In fact, I feel pretty uncomfortable with this decision, it hinders me from using the iPad in a useful way. What is the reason to allow tethering on an iPhone and not on an iPad?
    We are all just your fellow users. No one here is going to be able to answer those questions for you. Bottom line is, for whatever reaons, you cannot use your iPad as a mobile hotspot. If that's the reason why you bought it, you need to either return it or sell it.
    Submit your feedback to Apple here:

    Many people find that it's still a useful device even without that feature.

    If not why option available
    Thanks!

    What Carolyn says is correct. You can, however, share an Internet connection with your iPhone wirelessly by turning in Internet sharing (found in System Preferences > Sharing.) If your MacBook Pro is already using a wireless connection, you can just connect to the same wireless network it is using.
    Best of luck.

  • While looking to upgrade to a new MBP, found out latest version of iTunes does not support wired syncing of iCal and contacts. syncing of these must be done through iCloud. This is a deal breaker for me. are there any workarounds?

    While looking to upgrade to a newer MBP, found out latest version of iTunes does not support wired syncing of iCal and contacts. Syncing of these must be done through iCloud. This is a deal breaker for me for several reasons. Are there any workarounds or do I have to go back to a PC with my tail tucked between my legs?

    When you say wired syncing, are you meaning between an iphone and your mac?

  • Computer reboots immediately if I connect my iPhone via usb or craddle

    When I connect my iPhone to my computer, windows xp sp2 pro immediately starts detecting the iphone, at which point my computer reboots - everytime! I read online that the phone has issues with Intels RAID matrix software, and I should upgrade to 7.8 - did that. I also read that I should upgrade all my usb drivers - did that. I still have a condition where it reboots (ugly) immediately when I hookup my iphone via usb or craddle.

    mimckee,
    Do you have a webcam built into your monitor? If so, is it a Logitech or based on Logitech hardware? This article discusses an issue that can occur with older drivers from Logitech or for other imaging devices that try to treat the iPhone as though it is one of their webcams:

  • I have a new mac book pro. i am using a usb not associated with my mac. when trying to download films onto the usb it keeps saying no space on it but its not full what can i do?

    empty your trash
    then open disk utility and reformat it
    as mac journaled if you only want to use it for a mac
    if you want to use it for both mac and PCs, select the partition tab, choose 1, format exfat and MBR under options

  • IPhone tethering via USB not working

    Hi,
    Since last week my iMac can't recognize my iPhone in Network Preferences, when I plug my iPhone in my macbook the problem is gone, so I tried to reset  Network Preferences in iMac and nothing changed I also tried coping Network Preferences from my macbook -since tethering is working fine there- and nothing changed.
    So if anyone have any clue how to solve my problem I will be grateful.
    Thank you.  

    Try This :
    Copy /System/Library/Extensions/AppleUSBEthernetHost.kext to a backup folder (Desktop) and delete the original
    Re-download the latest version of iTunes (http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/)
    Install iTunes, this will update your "AppleUSBEthernetHost.kext" file.
    Disconnect USB-connection to iPhone
    Re-connect iPhone via USB

  • How not to charge the iphone via USB

    I was wondering if it is possible not the charge the iphone while it is plugged to the USB port of my laptop. I am just asking that as sometimes I just want to add new songs/apps without actually charging my iphone via the USB port as I prefer to do it once the battery is at 10% .
    Many thanks in advance for your help/advices.
    Regards
    Alberto

    In a word, no.
    There is no harm with charging a lithium based battery more frequently and when at any battery level and without having to charge the battery to 100% when doing so.

  • New MBP mini Display Port out to TV (HDMI) not working

    Sorry, I just realized I put this in the Original Folder not the Late 2008 folder.
    I bought a new MBP 2.4 GHz, 4 GBs RAM machine in January of this year, 2009. Model Identifier 5,1. I wanted to connect it to my TV's HDMI port. Only interested in getting video to TV since I run sound through a sound system. I have been using my MacBook Air's DVI adapter to a DVi - HDMI cable. I have a Sony Bravia 40 HD tv. Video works just fine from my MBAir, can change resolutions to anything and video works perfectly (audio has a little problem though - high frequency hum out of the MBAir's audio port). That's why I want to change to my MB Pro - audio from the New MBP is good.
    With my new MBP, using it's Mini out- DVi connector and using the Same Video (HDMI) cable that I used with my MBAir - it doesn't work. The Display Preference does not detect the TV ever. I just get a black screen on the TV. Not even a flash on the TV like it's trying to connect - nothing.
    I can pull the cable out of my MBP 2.4 and swap the DVi connector to the MBAir's cable and put it in the MBAir and it works just fine. Swap it back to the new MBP and nothing.
    I have tried two different MBP Mini DVI out connectors, thinking one was bad. I even took the connector I use with the MBAir with me to the Apple Store to have them match the connectors, so I would be assured that I got the correct one. Oh by the way, my MBAir is the original one, not the newest one.
    I have read a lot of links on the website where people are having trouble with Monitors using the new MBP Mini DVI video out but could not find any thread that matched my TV problem.
    Any suggestions or explanations would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Jim

    Hi Jim,
    Just to clarify, you state that you have a MacBookPro5,1, which is the late 2008 model. The video output on that model is a mini-DisplayPort, not a mini-DVI (like the pre-unibody MacBooks) or a micro-DVI (like your 1st gen MBA). DisplayPort is a different type of port. (Note - I requested an edit of the title of your post to clarify that).
    When you connect the TV, in what sequence are you connecting? The 'proper' sequence is to connect the DVI-HDMI cable to the mini-DisplayPort to DVI adapter, have the HDMI end connected to the TV, have the TV set to Line-In, looking for a signal, then connect to the MBP last.
    What happens when you connect it like that? Have you tried System Preferences > Displays > Detect Displays?

  • Sending jpg to iPhone via mms not working

    I'm trying to send a jpg from my email to an iPhone via mms, i'm using the correct format [email protected] but the iPhone gets an error that reads:
    The part image/jpg: name=name.jpg; x-unit-mode=0644; x-mac-hide-extension=yes was removed form the message as not supported.
    Any ideas?

    I dont buy that answer, i can send pics to my friend that has a normal flip phone that way. I also send .3gp movie files to my iphone 3G as a work around of not being able to attach/select video file to send via mms. You can however, forward a video clip that was sent to you. Are youy sure its not a formating of the jpg files or something, im fairly certain i have sent my own phone pics from my e-mail.

  • ITunes has stopped launching when I plug in my iPhone via USB

    Two things have stopped working with my iPhone recently.
    1.  iTunes no longer launches automatically when I plug in my iPhone to my iMac via USB.
    2.  The iPhone Notes app has stopped syncing via USB lead between the iPhone and the iMac.
    I have tried closing applications, and rebooting both the iPhone and iMac, but this makes no difference.
    I'm running OS X 10.6.8 on my iMac.
    My iPhone is a 3G running iOS 4.2.1
    Can anyone help?
    This sounds like a bug introduced by a recent software update.  Is anyone at Apple listening?

    For point 1 have a look on your Mac:
    Settings | System | Users & Groups | Your Account | Login Items
    and see if iTunesHelper is there and ticked. If it has a yellow warning symbol next to it it has lost were to find this app which brings up iTunes when you connect devices.
    It could have been messed up by an upgrade of iTunes. To set it up again you can add it to the 'Login Items' again. The iTunesHelper application is buried inside the iTunes application special folder:
    Applications > iTunes > Contents > MacOS > iTunesHelper
    you can navigate to it by looking at the package contents for iTunes (right click it). You can't add it by choosing the '+' button because you have to look inside iTunes.
    Open Users & Groups, your account, Login Items then next to it
    Open a Finder window navigate to iTunesHelper like above and then drag icon for it into the Login Items window.
