Tethering Iphone 4 - Once you call and add the extra $25 data plan...

...How do you set up the iPhone4 and your laptop for tethering? I mean, I know you plug in your USB sync cable, but once you do that where are the instructions for actually setting up the iPhone and setting up the laptop?

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. That's clear (and simple on the iphone side). I'm in US, with ATT. I think the guy at the ATT store told me it was $25 for 5gigs of data (it might have been 2gigs, I've got to go back and check).
But I also wonder how my laptop is suddenly going to see the tethered Iphone. Maybe I'm wrong, but I doubt my comptuter is simply going to recognize it as network cable, especially since it's plugged in to a USB port and not an ethernet port.

  • When importing files into fcpx from go pro hero2, some are importing as .mov and some as .mp4. when making a multi cam clip it will only add one type, if you try and add the other it says camera clip cannot be processed.

    when importing files into fcpx from go pro hero2, some are importing as .mov and some as .mp4. when making a multi cam clip it will only add one type, if you try and add the other it says camera clip cannot be processed. need to figure out why it randomly imports differently, or how to add different file tyoes to multi cam.

    here is one that is imported and stays .mp4. the specs are same as original file before import.
    here is one that has changed somehow during import. specs on original file are same as above, but once it is imported it changes to this in event folder, and others randomly keep the above specs.

  • I have the same problem in my iphone. i can receive call and talk and listen too otherwise no sound at all like ringer tone , on-off click soung , video-music soung , game sound.

    i have the same problem in my iphone. i can receive call and talk and listen too otherwise no sound at all like ringer tone , on-off click soung , video-music song , game sound.
    i have tried to clean the audio jack too but result is the same. Can any body help me please.

    No external sound or not sound at all - external or when using the earbuds?
    Standard troubleshooting steps in order are; power the iPhone off and on, Reset by pressing and holding the Home key and Sleep/Wake or On/Off key simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release - ignoring the slide to turn off prompt when doing so, Restore.
    i had it once before, restored the iPhone and it was solved, but i don't want to restore my iPhone every day.
    Does this happen every day? If not, when was the last time this happened?
    If you have sound when using the earbuds, another thing to try is insert the earbuds and start playing a song - making sure the sound can be heard with the earbuds. Without pausing the song, remove the earbuds.
    If no sound is available with the speaker and a the troubleshooting steps do not resolve it or one of the steps does resolve it but the same occurs again, time to give AppleCare a call (800) 694-7466 or make an appointment at an Apple Store if there is one nearby.

    Kindly note also that i did not work on this iphone before, i just turned it on and i cannot connect it to the itune and restore it as the itune cannot read the device since i'm not able to reach my home screen, I am stuck in my restoring screen.
    Please help!!!!

    You dont have any data on your phone yet right?
    If you dont connect your device to the computer and
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least 15 seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    after that click okay when it says itunes has detected an iphone in recovery mode. Then click restore
    after that try again

    What I am saying is ..........
    The iPhone HAS to be active making calls on the UK carrier network for the carrier to identify as "theirs" and therefore eligible for the Carrier to unlock
    The way to achieve this is to use a PAYG sim making and receiving calls to establish a customer relationship  with the Carrier and then follow the Carrier's process to unlock
    With a PAYG it usually means adding a specified (by the carrier ) amount  usually £15 /£20 depending on the carrier
    This is how O2 function and according to Gemma  this is how Vodafone work

  • Can i use iphone to iphone for free international call and text?

    Can i use iphone to iphone for free international calls and text messages?

    If both iPhone users are on iMessage, texting will be free, though there may be data charges if you do not have Wi-Fi. You can use FaceTime Audio in iOS 7 and later to call people but regular phone calls still count against your phone plan.

  • HELP!! My iphone 6 keeps dropping calls and I have a verizon extender

    Hi,
    My iPhone 6 my Carrier is Verizon my iPhone 6 has been dropping calls I think it’s only when I’m home and also we have a cellphone booster aka Verizon Extender and it does connect to that also but when someone calls me it connects then drops right away and then I try right away to call them back and then the call goes though. I have tried a hard reset on my iPhone 6 I have tried just by turning on and off the airplane mode and I have tried resetting the network settings which I just did. I thought of maybe doing the part when you take your sim card out and put that back in but I have not done that yet! I don't know what to do if this keeps happing it is really annoying! Can you please help me! Thanks Also I have looked online of how to fix it but have not come up with anything yet
    How do I stop my iPhone 6 from dropping calls?
    Also
    my iphone 6 keeps dropping calls and I have a verizon extender and it says that my iphone is on it but it is not working and I have either 2 or 3 LTE bars.
    Thanks

    Contact the carrier to troubleshoot the issue.

    Hello apple
    I have the problem with my iPhone and my friends have this problem too.
    My iPhone have the problem about calling and answer the call. When I use my iPhone to call I can't hear anything from my iPhone but the person that I call can answer it but when answer both of us can't hear anything and when I put my iPhone to my face the screen is still on and when I quit the phone application and open it again it will automatic call my recent call. And when my friends call me my iPhone didn't show anything even the missed call I'm only know that I missed the call from messages from carrier. Please check these problem I restored my iPhone for 4 time now in this week. I lived in Hatyai, Songkhla,Thailand and many people in my city have this problem.
    Who have this problem??

    Apple isnt here. this is a user based forum for technical questions. The solution is to restart, reset, and restore as new which is in the manual after that get it replaced for hard ware failure. if your within your one year warranty its replaced if it is out of the warranty then it is 199$

  • Can you copy data from one spreadsheet and add it to existing data in another spreadsheet?

    I have data that is being downloaded from googledocs into a numbers spreadsheet.  It happens weekly but it creates a new spreadsheet each time it downloads.  I need to copy 50 cells and add the quantities to an existing spreadsheet without it replacing the originals.  Is there a formula or way that makes this happen? 

    Generally if you add a new row at the end of your table you can highlight the cell where you want the paste to start and then paste the data.  I do not have Numbers on an iOS device so you may get more reliable help i the iOS forum-- which is here: https://discussions.apple.com/community/app_store/iwork_for_ios

  • My iPhone is acting up again; freezing up during phone calls and now the head phone jack intermittently doesn't work.

    I got my iPhone 5 back in February 2013 and for the most part of the year I enjoyed it. Then I started having issues with it. First of all the WiFi randomly quit working. I didn't even update it. So I tried updating it, resetting, and restoring it. While it was under warranty I tried getting the issue fixed, but Apple CS blew me off saying it was accidental damage and I should have gotten Apple Care. This time Verizon covered their *** and replaced the phone for me even though it was out of their 6 month warranty period. I think I posted this experience before.
    Now my iPhone is acting up again. It first started freezing up during phone calls and now the head phone jack intermittently doesn't work. Again, resetting, restoring, and updating it did not fix these issues.
    <Re-Titled By Host>

    The original issue they didn't state exactly why it was Accidental Damage. After running through some troubleshooting, they just stated it was Accidental Damage and that I should file a claim with my insurance, and that Apple Care would have covered it; then closed the request.
    I've tried resetting settings, restoring it as new, and that was a no go. When it freezes up during calls I also have to perform a hard reset by pressing and holding both the power and the home buttons to get it functioning at all again(just completely freezes, won't respond to touch or home button.) I noticed that the proximity sensor isn't responding as well, so I have to tilt it away from my ear while in a call to keep from pressing the buttons on the touchscreen with the side of my face. I avoid phonecalls now, and text exclusively.
    I don't live anywhere near a Genius Bar so I'm stuck with the online support to Apple. And since I don't have a landline, I get charged for their phone support so I tend not to use it.
    Getting two lemons in a row seems coincidental so I'm wondering if it's a bad batch Verizon got then distributed out.

    The title of my initial post is a bit misleading. I already took a chance deleting one of the iPhones, hoping if I deleted the wrong one, I can still reauthorize it (all with the same Apple ID acct, so not subject to 90-day waiting period, right?) The iTunes database just updated itself, and it says I have 4 "devices" "in the Cloud", but 5 "computers" associated w my account. How can I find out what computers are associated? Isn't there a list I can see? I dont have a clue what computers they might be. If I use the  "Deauthorize All" option, is it a pain to add them all back in. I assume I would have to log in from each computer to reauthorize each one. Would I have to be running the newest OS or version of iTunes to reauthorize? I think I have a PowerBook G4 Titanium with an older OS and iTunes. I'd like to keep that authorized, if possible.

  • When I download a movie from iTunes the cover art disappears. I try get info and add the art, it doesn't show up. So it's just gray. It opens and plays fine. Apple can't figure it out. It's an nas drive. When I use a firewire drive I get the art

    When I download movies from iTunes to my NAS drive, I don't get the cover art. It shows up while its downloading, but when it's finish it disappears. If it has an iTunes extra the cover art is there. I tried get info and add the cover art, it never shows. Regardless of how I add it. Funny thing is, if I download the same movie to my external firewire drive, no problem its there. I've called Apple with no success. I've even tried copying the movie with the art from the firewire drive to replace the file on then NAS drive I still loose the movie cover art. I also tried several times to re download it, no luck. Any ideas? I'm out of ideas.

    Do you have any videos/movies in the video app?
    In iTunes if you right click on the video and select Get Info and go to the Option tap what Media Type is shown?
