Using Hotspots as your internet

Will a hotspot such as Verizon's work with the airport and time capsule backups

Potentially, yes.
For example, you can use an 2nd generation 802.11n AirPort Express base station to join the hotspot's Wi-Fi network. In turn, you can connect an 802.11n or 802.11ac Time Capsule to this Express using an Ethernet cable and have it broadcast its own Wi-Fi network. Computers connected to the TC can then use it for Time Machine backups.

Slow mobile internet (but it's faster on PC using hotspot) :/ ?

I guess I'm one of the lucky users because tethering is working on my Xray. I always use hotspot as I find it faster than tethering. And (I don't know if it's just me but) I think the connection is faster when using hotspot than tethering. And also I can't use any internet app on my phone except Opera. The Youtube, stock browser, FB, Gplay app is not loading (mobile data). But on my PC everything works fine, (connected to hotspot [mobile data]) I can watch videos on Youtube and download on internet. What could be the problem?

have you repaired your phone with either SUS or PCC?

Use mobile hotspot to provide internet to Aiport Extreme?

I just got a Sierra W801 mobile hotspot and want to use it as my internet for my home network. Right now it is tethered to my iMac via USB. It does not have any other ports, only wireless b/g and can only connect to up to 5 devices.
I can think of two ways that might work, but so far have been unable to make either of these work.
1. Set my iMac up to share it's internet connection (provided by the mobile hotspot) through its ethernet port which is connected to the airport extreme.
Or..
2. Use the airport extreme to joint the wireless network provided by the mobile hotspot. This is how it is currently set up, but AppleTV won't talk to my iMac and the cable box can't get to the internet via ethernet. But at least I have a green light.
Which of these two might have the best chance of success? Is there perhaps another option that I'm not aware of?

Something like this type of Cellular Broadband Adapter would do what you want, assuming that it is compatible with your provider's service.

I would like to use my iPhone 6's wifi hotspot to provide Internet at home (I do not have home internet) via a Time Capsule which I currently use the TC simply as a home wifi network without Internet to enable things like printing wirelessly and backing up data wirelessly via time machine.
I have a Mac Pro, iPhone 6, iPad, Apple TV and Time Capsule. No home Internet.
Is is possible to have my iPhone 6's wifi hotspot used to provide Internet to my wifi network on time capsule? Has anyone else had success doing this? I'm not a tech head and really know very little about things like this. Thanks. Jen

You can have a go using a wireless bridge.. eg the airport express will do this.. you can join it to the iphone wireless running as a hotspot.. and then plugged into the TC wan port.. the TC has to be setup in router mode.. so this is going to give you double NAT errors.. and of course errors for all the time the hotspot is turned off.. but it can work. However you might find it requires you to manually connect up each time.. If you are really going to try and do this you will manage it.. but how fiddly it becomes might put you off after a week.
You will chew up your 5GB very fast using any streaming media even radio. So be very careful to track the usage.
Apple should have built in the TC the ability to plug in a wireless 3G modem.. via the USB but Apple have ceased to do adventurous stuff.
If you give up the TC as main router there are plenty of better products on the market that will handle multiple wan connections.. !!

The wireless on my laptop brokebut I can still connect to my phone when I plug it in. My iphone is connected to the wifi but is this being transfered onto the laptop or is it using up my data???

Personal hotspot shares your cellular connection with other devices via cable, bluetooth or WiFi. If you turn on the hotspot, the phone will be disconnected from the WiFi network you are on and share access to the cellular connection. That's what it's for. It's using your data plan if that's what you're trying to do.

Using airport express with a verizon hotspot for the internet.

I recently purchased a new laptop. Wanting to be able to print from my laptop and not having to connect the USB printer cable I purchased an Airport Express router. I use a Verizon HotSpot it get access to the internet. My problem is that I am unable to print data from the internet since I have to disconnect from it to gain access to my network printer. Any ideas how to be able to print data from the internet using my network printer?

I don't have one of these to verify, but have you tried reconfiguring your AirPort Express Base Station (AX) as a wireless client? In this configuration, the AX would join the wireless network created by your Verizon Hotspot device and its USB port would be enabled to share the attached USB printer.
To set up the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) as a "Wireless Client," using the AirPort Utility, either connect to the AX's wireless network or temporarily connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then, try these settings:
Perform a "Factory Default" reset on the AX.
Launch the AirPort Utility.
Select the AX.
If not already connected to the AX's wireless network, go ahead and switch to it when prompted.
AirPort Utility > Select the AX > Manual Setup > AirPort > Wireless
Wireless Mode: Join a wireless network
Network Name: <type in the network name/SSID of the wireless network that you want to join or select it from the pop-up menu>
Wireless Security: None OR, if you are using security on your wireless network:
Wireless Security: <Select the appropriate level of security for the existing wireless network: WPA/WPA2 Personal | WPA2 Personal>
Password: <enter your wireless network security password>
Verify Password: <re-enter the same security password>
Click Update to write the new settings to the AX.

I'm experiencing the same problem. Don't think I can help, but maybe I can offer an explanation. It looks as if Flickr has changed their API and Adobe will need to update the export plugin to comply to get it working again. I found this announcement on Flickr:

Maybe you are looking to re-purpose this equipment versus getting rid of it if so, the best thing to do is search the internet for tutorials. And I say this because it's what I would do, there are a lot of tutorials online. Hope you can find good use for them. Worse case scenario if you can't find something right now, package them very nicely and when you come across something unbox and enjoy. I've re-purposed a mac color classic and LOVE IT!!

I have been using iTunes for years to connect to the radio and just recently tried to tune in and an error sign pops up stating " A error occurred while contracting the radio tunning service. Check your internet connection or try again later." There's no problrm with my internet service so what's up?

You are probably using an old version of iTunes with which the stream link service seems to have stopped working for many users of older iTunes. No, Apple makes no comment about this kind of thing. It may reappear, it may not (it has been dead for over a week now). Your solution is to upgrade the operating system version on your computer from 10.5.8 to 10.6.8 so you can run a newer iTunes, or live without. You can still open streams if you can get the URL, and you can then save them as playlist items.

I have tried to update my iPhone using the iTunes method but it will not work. The message "The iTunes update server could not be contacted. Please check your internet connection or try again later," appears. What do I do? The Internet is working fine.

Have you tried the following troubleshooting document?
iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
If you end up using the If the iTunes Store opens successfully section of the document, and the "Automatically detect settings" checkbox is already checked, try unchecking and rechecking it and clicking OK.

Does 'find your iPhone' use a lot of internet? My mobile data is running out ridiculously fast and I need it to slow down!

Does 'find your iPhone' use a lot of internet? My mobile data is running out ridiculously fast and I need it to slow down! Anyone has suggestions / info?

You should shut down all the apps running in the background and then reset your phone. Double tap the home button to open the multitasking drawer (iOS 6.X) or the multitasking screen (iOS 7.X) if you are on iOS 6.X press and hold one of the app icons and wait for the icon's to start to jiggle, just like when you want to delete an app. Tap the little x that appears in the upper corner of the icons. Repeat until all the icons are gone.
If you are on iOS 7.X once the multitasking screen is open swipe up on all the app images until they are all closed. Tap on the home screen to close.
Then press and hold both the Home and Sleep buttons at the same time and wait for the Apple logo to appear then release both buttons. The phone will restart itself.
If this doesn't help try doing a Reset All Settings reset, you will not lose any data or content or media. But you will have to reset any setting you turned on or off in Settings. This will reset all settings back to factory default. Settings => General => Reset => Reset All Settings.
