Usb tether pc to ipad 4g

I have turned on the personal hotspot in my new ipad 4g (verizon) and selected "usb only" and followed the instruction to connect to my pc.
I connected the usb cable to my laptop which is running windows vista.
instructions say to select ipad in network settings...
Network settings in windows vista is the network and sharing center, I do not get any option "ipad" to connect to.
I have turned off the wireless radio in the ipad, but still do not see "ipad" in the network discovery.
Has anyone had any success connecting a windows (running vista) pc via usb tether to the new ipad verizon 4g to use the ipad as the hotspot for the pc?
thanks,
dizzydoz

well, updated itunes on laptop to newest version 10
tried to do a usb tether to the ipad 4g again, same results, the laptop (windows/vista) doesn not see the ipad on network and sharing center.
when I first connect the ipad to the laptop, itunes starts and connects to the ipad (this also happened with the old version 9) for syncing or transfering files.
but the usb tethering to ipad is not happening at all.
searching internet I am a little surprised that out of thousands of hits, no one anywhere appears to have ever done this, I see references to a lot of usb tethering to iphones or ipods or apple computers but nothing about using the ipad's cellular connection as a usb hotspot to be used by a windows pc machine.
Maybe the "usb hotspot" function is inherently only for connection to apple machines ?
again, the wifi hotspot works fine between the laptop and ipad, but the usb hotspot does not, at all, never even seems to try.

Ipad 3 USB tether to my Galaxy SIII?

If I buy the Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit (MC531ZM/A) will I be able to USB tether my ipad 3 to my Galaxy SIII to get to the net? If not, is there any adapter that will allow this connection?
I have the Sprint unlimited plan, but the wireless hotspot data is not unlimited. I can connect to my phone using the wireless hotspot feature, but I have limited data via the hotspot, while I have unlimited data via a USB tether, so that is why I want to utilize the USB tether.

No.

My ipad 3 is frozen on the plug into itunes page. I have tried to follow advice I have found on these pages but I don't know how to connect the ipad to my mac (there is no usb port on an ipad). If anyone could help it would be appreciated.

My ipad 3 is frozen on the plug into itunes page - it won't turn off or on - just stuck. I have tried to follow advice I have found on these pages but I don't know how to connect the ipad to my mac (the advice is to connect ipad to mac and there is no usb port on an ipad). If anyone could help it would be appreciated. Going nuts.

I think you should probably also read the iPad User Guide. You didn't say what version of iOS your iPad is running, so here's the links to both the iOS 6 and iOS 7 (PDF) versions:

Is it possible to have two USB drives for the IPad? I want to bring RAW photo files from my camera, through the IPad and back to an external hard drive. One of my cameras does not use an SD card. How can I do this?

Is it possible to have two USB drives for the IPad? I want to bring RAW files from my camera through the IPad and out to an external hard drive. One of my cameras has an SD card but the other one doesn't have a card that would fit in any of the camera devices I've seen on line. Realted to this, I bought the IPad camera accessory. Can I put the SD card in the device and also hook the external hard drive to the USB port of the accessory and download from the camera to the hard drive? Can I put Lightroom or the Nikon photo editing software on the IPad? Right now I carry a PC laptop and external hard drives with me on wildernes trips. Internet and WiFi are not available. Because I shoot so many photos and they're in RAW I need to download from the camera to the external drive because I run out of memory on the PC (and it has much more memory than the IPad). I have Nikon NX software and lightroom on my PC. I'd love to be able to reduce the weight I carry by using the IPad to edit my photos each night while on trips. Is this possible and how would I do it? I'd appreciate any guidance.

No, the camera connection kit only supports the copying of photos and videos to the Photos app, it doesn't support copying content off the iPad. For your second camera instead of the SD reader part of the kit, does the iPad to camera cable not work with it for direct transfer to the iPad ?
For Lightroom and Nikon software again no - you can only install apps that are available in the iTunes app store on your computer and the App Store app on the iPad, 'normal' PC and Mac (OS X) software are not compatible with the iPad (iOS). There are some apps that perform fairly basic editing functions that are available in the store, but nothing as sophisticated as, for example, Lightroom.

HT1692 How do I get my old contacts that were last synced on my ITunes account through my laptop (USB) to my new iPad ? I no longer have a laptop just my iPad mini.

How do I get my old contacts that were last synced on my ITunes account through my laptop (USB) to my new iPad ? I no longer have a laptop just my iPad mini.

So the contacts were synced to the computer you no longer have? You could use a free app like MCBackup and email the contacts from the ipad to yourself and open the email on your phone and then import the contacts from the email to the phone

Is it possible to connect a USB pen drive to ipad 3 via and adapter?

Is it possible, via an adapter, to connect and access documents on a USB pen drive on an iPad3?

Technically, you can use the camera connection kit to attach certain USB drives to the iPad. That said, the ONLY thing your iPad will see are photos or movies that are named with 8 characters and located in a DCIM folder.
So technically you can attach a USB, however it does not work for documents, only photos or videos.
There are some wireless drives out there, the Seagate GoFlex and the iDrive and some others, but definitely with the Seagate it's often just that you can read from or pull from the drive, you can't put your document back onto the drive to get it off the iPad.

Wiped our old iPad 1 clean, now can't install iOS from iTunes. iTunes does not "see" the devise. Tried uninstalling and installing iTunes on laptop. Also bought new USB cable. The iPad is charging, but that's all it does.

Wiped our old iPad 1 clean, now can't install iOS from iTunes using laptop PC (W Vista). iTunes does not "see" the device. Tried uninstalling and installing iTunes on laptop.

OK. You merely erased the content and settings. The IOS is still there.
If it has NEVER been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures. From what you've already stated, my guess is that you'll end up with Recovery Mode described in the last paragraph.
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, read this.

Which iphone can you pair/tether with an ipad 2

I WAS TOLD THAT THE IPHONE 4 WAS THE ONLY PHONE YOU CAN PAIR/TETHER WITH AN IPAD 2. ANY DISCUSSION ON THIS??

As far as I am aware, there is no tethering with any mobile phone or iPhone with iPad.

Can I use a Vodafone USB Dongle with my apple IPad 1st Generation if I have a USB adaptor for my IPad

Hi there just wondering does anyone know if I can use a Vodafone USB Dongle with my apple IPad 1st Generation 16gb (WiFi only) if I have a USB adaptor, will the IPad !st generation support a A Vodafone Dongle(Irish network)

You cannot plug a USB dongle into an iPad using the USB part of the iPad Camera Connection Kit.
The Camera Connection Kit is for connecting cameras - hence the name.
You'd need to get a MiFi device to use 3G data via WiFo on your iPad.

IS there a USB Tether Fix for iPhone 4s & iTunes 11.1.1

IS there a USB Tether Fix for iPhone 4s ?
Mac OS X : 10.6.8
iPhone : 4s w/ ios 7.0.3
Additional Apps : iTunes 11.1.1
I had this problem once before with a previous "iTunes" update where Ifixed the broken "ktext" file. No idea what do do about this snafu. Any suggestions would be appreciated...

OK. Can't edit so here's my reply.
Both names seem to be OK if I want to just carry some tunes on just the sd card it self and then stream the music to the 4S. What I am hoping to find is a way to actually put the music (mp3/4) files on the iPhone 4S directly. Judging by the 2 first posts and by what Amazon has on the two adapters listed by xtremecarbon, it does look like I cannot do this. It bites but that does seem to be the outcome of this.
Again if anybody has any leads or ways of putting music directly on the 4S without iTunes, do let me know. In the mean time I'm looking at the 13" MacBook Air and at the MacBook Pro. I don't think I can twist my wife in getting the Pro and I give her my old one. But I sure will give it a try. At least I know she does like the MacBook Air.

Hi have just bought a Sony Xperia J and am not able to tether my ipad as I did with my Nokia C3. Why? What do I have to do to solve the problem so I can tether to my Ipad?

Hi have just bought a Sony Xperia J and am not able to tether my ipad as I did with my Nokia C3. Why?

Is this phone another of the things that Apple does not support? How do I know before I buy a phone that it will be supported?

How are you attempting to connect them?
Looking at the Experia J features it does seem to support Wifi Hotspot, but there is no mention of a Bluetooth hotspot. Different phones offer different things.
The iPad issues the message, because there doesn;t seem to be anything it can do with it. But this is not something apple is blocking its more a limitation or a non present feature of the phone.
From the Manual which I assume you've read through:
To share your phone’s data connection as a portable Wi-Fi® hotspot
1 From the Home screen, tap .
2 Find and tap Settings > More… > Tethering & portable hotspot.
3 Tap Configure Wi-Fi hotspot.
4 Enter the Network SSID for the network. Tap the Security field to select a
security type.
5 If required, enter a password.
6 Tap Save.
7 Mark the Portable Wi-Fi hotspot checkbox. The phone starts broadcasting its
Wi-Fi® network name (SSID). You can now connect to this network with up to
8 computers or other devices.
8 Unmark the Portable Wi-Fi hotspot checkbox when you want to stop sharing
your data connection via Wi-Fi®
When that is set up, you can use your iPad to look for the Wifi network the phone is providing and connect to it as you would any wifi network.

How do you save PDF to a USB flash drive from iPad 2

How do you save PDF to a USB flash drive from iPad 2

You can't, the camera kit connection kit which has a USB connection only supports the copying of photos and videos to the Photos app, and doesn't support the copying of any content off the iPad - you will either need to go via your computer.

Why am i seeing athe itunes logo and a usb cable on my ipad screen

why am i seeing the itunes logo and a usb cable on my ipad 2 screen

It means that you need to connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes (recovery mode), and you should then be able to reset the iPad and restore/resync your content to it

Random instant crash when plugging in iPhone as usb tether

Thought I would share this as I have never seen this happen in all my time using Macs. I upgraded to Mavericks recently on a DIY Fusion Drive (1.5tb 2008 alu Macbook). So far all is running well until a glitch tonight that was bizarre. I plugged in my iphone 4 to use the internet via tethering. The battery died on the phone, so I unplugged and plugged in my wife's iphone 4S. The computer instantly crashed and restarted. No grey screen of death, no warning. I checked the console - I would paste it now but I haven't been able to find it since the log rolled over, but it was basically registering the usb tether, no threads on kernel panic etc and then it was a huge block of @@@@@@@@@@ for a page or so and then restart threads. Any ideas?

HI,
I haven't done an SMC reset since installing the fusion drive, so not since upgrading to Mavericks (I usually do a clean install but just couldn't face it this time around). How will the SMC make a difference?
