TS1741 Can I use my IPhone as a moderm for my laptop?

How can I use my IPhone as a moderm?

If your phone plan allows it you can turn on tethering.
Which can be found under the settings _ General _ Network
You should see an option to Set Up Personal Hotspot
If you don't then you have one of a few problems.
1. Your phone company / plan does not allow tethering
2. Your iPhone got a little stuck after the last update (happened to mine), so reset the network settings;
     Under Cellular data Network, and re add all the details.
3. You need to add the correct details into the Cellular Data Network settings.
Hope it helps

    If you unlock a phone, you can use it with any carrier. Just be aware that T-mobile is not a carrier that AppleCare tech support will be able to troubleshoot

  • Can i use my iPhone as a mouse for my Macbook Pro?

    Hi guys, im very curious if youre able to use an iphone as a mouse for mac. When i mean a mouse i mean as a regular mouse and not that mouse app thing with the screen going on. I mean literally as a regular mouse which you can use like if it was a normal mouse.
    Very curious like i mentioned and i hope theres an solution for this as well.

    oh kind of disappointed, thought i could do literally EVERYTHING with an iphone.

  • Can I use my iPhone like WiFi modem witth my laptop?

    I have a question.... Can I use my iPhone like modem WiFi (i need connect my laptop to iPhone to use internet).

    The iPhone does not currently support tethering. An app that made that possible was available very briefly before being pulled from the App Store.
    You can submit feedback to Apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html.

  • How can I use my Iphone 3 (or 4) for soil sampling with my Wintec G-Rays 2 GPS reciever?

    Hello, everyone. 
    I work for a company in Michigan that does a lot of soil-sampling.  (We take core samples from precisely mapped areas of fields for scientific anaylsis.)
    My goal is to use my Iphone 3 with my existing bluetooth Wintec G-Rays 2 for precise GPS mapping in apps like GISroam.  The searchable apps in the App Store appear unreliable for tethering. 
    Also:  My boss has an Iphone 4.  (Perhaps that phone be more appropriate for this application?)
    Question:  Am I thinking about doing this in the right way?  Are there apps that will make this simpler? 
    Specs for the G-Rays 2 are found below.

    If your phone is locked to AT&T in the USA, then only AT&T in the USA can unlock it - you will need to contact them about it.
    The requirements for AT&T to unlock it are here - http://www.att.com/esupport/article.jsp?sid=KB414532&cv=820#fbid=wyYI6i46IlD
    Note that requesting and processing an unlock throught AT&T is the ONLY way to officially and permanently unlock your phone.

  • Can I use old iPhone 4S in Europe for WiFi, w/o cellular service? A few Qs not found in Support Community-

    I wish to upgrade to iPhone 6, but first want to know if I can use my iPhone 4S for camera, iMessaging and apps (i.e. What’s App) on Wifi after it is disconnected from U.S. Verizon network?
    iPhone 4S, iOS 7.1.2 (reluctant to upgrade to 8.1.2), Verizon, U.S. only
    Mac Mini, OSX 10.9.5 (reluctant to upgrade to OSX Yosemite)
    I’ve read all of the old posts (2011 thru July 2014), but still have questions.  This is what I understand:
    Upgrade iOS and apps with iTunes, before transferring to new iPhone 6
    Change the name of my old iPhone http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201997 (if I wish to name my new iPhone what my old one was called)
    Enable airplane mode, then re-enable just wifi
    Activate new iPhone
    Transfer data to new iPhone http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT2109
    QUESTIONS:
    Q: When connected to WiFi in England, Italy and Sicily - do I keep it in Airplane Mode even though it has been disconnected from Verizon and I will have an active iPhone 6 on my Verizon account being used by my husband at home in the U.S.?
    Q: Will there be a problem sync’ing to iTunes in the future, or my Mac Mini?  Will it conflict with my new iPhone 6?  Or is it just considered a different device, once it has a new name. 
    Q: How can I message my husband in the U.S. with the iPhone 6 from Europe using my old iPhone 4S on Wifi only?  Do I use my iCloud account, like I do from my Mac Mini to my iPhone?  Or can I set up a new iMessage account on the old iPhone 4S
    I appreciate any insights and answers.  Thanks in advance!

    It doesn't have to be that complicated, Verizon iPhones come unlocked, just tell VZ you're going on Holiday/Traveling and suspend the service, no need to pay for service if you're not going to be using it. Pick up local SIM cards in the countries of your choosing, pop them in, re-activate iMessage and you're set!
    I recommend getting a SIM card from the Three network in England, they have great EU roaming rates and free like-home roaming in Italy.
    Set your phone's region to match the country you're in, it'll save from some headaches when calling local/international numbers.
    To answer your questions,
    1. If you choose not to have a local SIM card, it is good to keep your phone in Airplane mode to save battery.
    2. Make sure the two iPhones have different names to reduce sync/restore issues.
    3. If husband has an iPhone also, you can chat with iMessage/Facetime, just give him heads up about the new number you'll have. Otherwise, use Whatsapp if he's got an Android. You can activate Whatsapp with your American number or the international number if you choose to get a SIM in Europe.
    Also, Get the MagicJack app and/or Google Hangouts, both of those apps provide you with free calling to the USA and Canada using any internet connection. Google Voice is another good way to SMS across the seas.
    Let me know if you need any more tips for iPhoning across the pond.

  • Can i use my iphone as a remote for the iPad

    is there an APP that will allow me to use my iphone to control my ipad2?

    You can use your IOS device to do initial setup on an Apple TV, but you won't be able to use it as a remote as that also requires home sharing to be enabled. I would take it to Apple to test the remote and/or get a replacement.

  • Can i use my iphone while its charging for the first time

    i just got the iphone 6. when i turned it on for the first time it had like half battery, i let it fully die and now im charging it for the first time. can i use it while its charging? every phone ive ever had had such a crappy battery life. i wanna finally have a good battery! lol

    Hi. Sure, you can use your iPhone when charging (but not always) . Just release your battery under 10% and recharge to 100% once a month, it can be helpful for battery life.
    That is actually not considered best practice. Lithium ion batteries should be kept topped up when possible. That was previously recommended to calibrate the battery sensor. It never had any effect on the overall life of the battery.

  • Can I use my iphone as a hotspot for the new ipad thru Verizon?

    I currently own an iphone and have service thru Verizon.  Would like to purchase the new ipad.  I didn't know if I needed to spend the extra money for the wi-fi-4g cellular (verizon) and have to pay for the service monthly or could I use my iphone as my hotspot?  Any advise would be great!   Thanks!

    Verizon does offer Personal Hotspot (aka "tethering") for the iPhone. You will have pay extra for the service. Contact Verizon to get pricing.
    Regards.

    My imac doesn't have a mic in, only a line in. Is it possible to use the iPhone as external mircrophone with some extra software maybe? I want to create video tutorials and the internal microphone isn't good enough for this.

    Get something like this for your iMac:

  • Can I use my phone as a modem for my laptop with its wifi?

    If so, how can I do this exactly??
    Windows xp professional (if that is of any help)

    If your device supports mobile hotshot (which is not a modem) then you can use that.  But if you are using an 8520 you do not have that feature.

    Would i be able to use the new 21.5" imac as monitor for HP elitebook 2560p?  i have docking station for laptop.  I went to the apple store and received nothing but confusing/contradictory information.  Please help.

    If your cell phone carrier supports tethering with the iPhone, you need to sign up for a tethering plan with your carrier first.
