Using iPhone as Wireless Connection

Does anyone know if the iPhone can be connected to your computer so that it can be used as your wireless internet connection instead of an aircard?

No, it cannot. This is called tethering and is not supported by iphone or AT&T. There was an article on CNet that it may happen sometime in 2009.

  • Using iPhone as wireless Mic

    Items I already have, and ready to buy other things if needed.
    1) iPhone 3G
    2) Mac-Book
    4) Bose speakers connected to Mac.
    5) Wireless Internet
    My request :- By using Apple Remote application I am able to play songs. Is there any other application that will allow me to use iPhone as wireless mic and the sound should output to the Bose Speakers connected to Mac-Book.
    Advance Thanks.

    Im Using iPhone 4. i connected to my home WiFi router for browing internet.. Sometimes its automaltically disconnected and must i off and on it again for using.. why its happening?

    Look on the support pages for your WiFi router for a firmware update for the router.
    It's hard to say much more without knowing the make, model, and version of your WiFi router and how you have it configured.

  • Using iPhone as wireless 3g modem ? possible ?

    I have the older iPhone, and am seriously considering a new 3g iPhone. However, I have read in some reviews that the new iPhone 3g canNOT be used as a wireless 3g modem to connect your MacBook Pro to the internet. I would ideally like to wirelessly (using the built-in wlan), connect my wlan MBP to the internet. If that cannot work, could I connect an iPhone using a wired usb connection to my laptop, and then connect to the internet ?
    Thanks

    This is not allowed right now.
    (its called tethering - google for that)
    Someone made an app-store app that did this, but apple yanked it. AT&T wants another $30 per month for a PC Data plan.
    This may re-appear some day, because it is technically possible, just not currently allowed by Apple and ATT.

    I cannot open my gmail nor send any gmails on Firefox. My wife also has gmail and she has no problem on firefox opening or sending her gmails. Also, I cannot access my settings. It started when I was at a hotel last Friday using their wireless connection. When I turned firefox on, which automatically goes to gmail, firefox would not open my gmail as it stated that this was not a secure site. I probable did something incorrectly and I got blocked out. All my other bookmarks work fine. I can access my gmail using other servers. Please help. Thank you.

    thank you!!

    Hello mediterranean,
    Thank you for contacting Mozilla Support. Are you having trouble getting a wireless connection on your Ubuntu machine? This is probably not the best forum for Ubuntu or Nexus 7 questions, but you might try taking a look at this article:

    I can connect to wifi at other place ......I have tried reset network setting, restart but it's not work .pls help

    Updates are not as thorough as Restore. Restore iPhone with iTunes on computer, Set Up as New when prompted, see if better. If still problem after restore, take iPhone to Apple Store for free quick battery diagnostic testing. Make Genius reservation to avoid long wait time at the store.

  • Can i piggy back to my iphone for wireless connection

    can i piggy back to my iphone to receive wireless connection for an ipad

    You can, but only if you have that privelege through your iPhone carrier. In the US, AT&T and Verizon both charge for the ability to do this. Not sure about Sprint. Some carriers in other countries allow it at no additional fee.

  • IPhone 4 wireless connection dropping randomly

    Lately when I connect to a wireless connection it will work for a bit and then hang up, then go to 3G. It happens at my work, my house, my girlfriends house, pretty much anywhere I can connect to wireless. It's getting pretty frustrating, and lately I have just turned it off and use 3G strictly... But I am tired of using my data, and I want my wireless back on par again. I have tried General>Reset>Reset Network Settings, and that didn't seem to help. Can anyone shed some light on this situation?
    Thanks

    Anyone?

  • IPhone 5s wireless connectivity issues, cannot upload files/state to iCloud, and supposedly needing to do so in order to get my files/state onto a new iPhone 6 Plus

    I am trying to get my files from my old iPhone 5s onto my new iPhone 6 Plus. I am currently and have been using iCloud to backup my files/state. However, I believe the antenna on the iPhone 5s went kaput a few months ago, because the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, both, do not work at all, meaning, I have tried all solutions including, resetting network settings, restarting the phone, etc. This is problematic because, as far as I know the iPhone 5s needs to be connected to Wi-Fi or Bluetooth to a Wi-Fi Hotspot in order to ask the internet, in order to upload current information/state to iCloud. Herein lies my problem.
    I have used iCloud already, to download my current files/state to my iPhone 6, with a caveat, these are only the files/state from before the antenna supposedly went kaput. That means, that all of my files/state since that time, while still being on my iPhone 5s, is not uploaded to iCloud, which then means I do not have it on my iPhone 6 which was updated to the most current files/state that was available at the time.
    What do I do?
    I have iTunes installed on a Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 Computer, and I have made a backup on there. However, I have to admit, I find iTunes very counter-intuitive and very difficult to use/understand. And I'm mostly referring to the syncing/backing-up features. I know you have to have safe guards to protect software usage, but with this high-minded philosophy of minimalism, couldn't it be as easy as drag and drop? Even software syncing? USB syncing with iCloud, etc?

    Thank you for the information. I checked out the section and read it through. From what I can gather, you can start your new iPhone from an itunes backup (Set Up Iphone > Restore from iTunes Backup), but, in my situation I need to add the Files/State from the old iPhone backup to the new iPhone that was started from scratch and has it's own unique Files/State, without subtracting from either. The problem is, that I don't want to subtract anything, and from what I understand about Syncing, if I am Syncing a new iPhone that's been started up, edited, has it's own suite of apps, etc. to an old backup of a previous iPhone, I am going to lose everything new I've done, as it will sync with the previous Files/State.

  • Use iPhone as wireless keyboard???

    Hy everyone,
    I have now searched both iTunes app Store and the iPhone forum and the web and can't find anything that would turn the iPhone into a wireless keyboard for your Mac.
    Have I missed something?
    Does anyone know if such an app exist?
    I don't want to use Remote Buddy as long as it's an web based app.
    Thank you.

    Hi roaminggnome,
    didn't want to use an external keyboard for my iPhone but use my iPhone as an external keyboard for the Mac. Like I use it as a mouse for my Mac.
    But thanks anyway - did see the 1000's of postings where ppl want to use a keyboard for the iPhone in my search

  • Can OS X Lion be used without a wireless connection?

    I have two wired networked Mac Minis with track balls. Can't figure out what I would need to upgrade or change to use Lion. Would I need to go wireless?

    From the How to Buy web site...
    To upgrade on day one:
    Step 1:
    Make sure your Mac can run Lion.
    Your Mac must have an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor to run Lion. Find out if your current Mac has one of these processors by clicking the Apple icon at the top left of your screen, then choosing About This Mac.
    Step 2:
    Make sure you have the latest version of Snow Leopard.
    Get up to date with the latest version of OS X Snow Leopard to purchase OS X Lion from the Mac App Store. If you have Snow Leopard, click the Apple icon and choose Software Update to install the latest version.
    Step 3:
    Download OS X Lion from the Mac App Store.
    When OS X Lion is released in July, open the Mac App Store from your Dock to buy and download it. Then follow the onscreen instructions to install Lion.
    Here is the link to the site.
    http://www.apple.com/macosx/how-to-buy/
    If you want to buy on the day it is released, this how you will have to go about it. If you have a working Internet connection and you can connect to the Mac App Store you should be able to download it. Don't see why wireless will be necessary.
    Make sure your Mac meets the requirements. You will probably have to upgrade to 10.6.7 as well.

  • Using a different wireless connection?

    HP3522 has been on our satellite wireless network and working just fine, but due a blizzard, that network is not working.  I've turned on our Sprint wireless hotspot and computer is working great, but printer won't work.  How do I set the printer up on a different network?

    Hi audrey305,
    I am not sure if this is still relevant, but when the network switch is temporary I would have to advise using a USB cable instead.  Changing network settings on some models is more involved.
    In this instance, you would have to disconnect the printer from the normal network and then connect it to the temporary network.  And then you would need to change the software on the computer because it is likely that the network address was changed on the printer because of the new network.  This might require uninstalling and then installing the software to get the change to work.
    On most versions of Windows, simply plugging in a USB cable will at least let printing work without too much trouble.
    I was an HP employee.

  • Using iPhone as laptop connect

    I'm thinking about getting an iPhone, but would like to be able to use its internet capabilities with my Mac. Can you use the iPhone as a kind of laptop connect card?

    When I purchased my iphone, it was to replace my BlackJack. My main reason for the switch was bigger screen and better web access through Safari. The BlackJack had quite a few websites that it could not view.
    Anyway, I have found several short comings with the iphone compared to most smartphones or Blackberry. Most of the short comings are in the email, calendar, to-do, and connectivity.
    I would gladly pay the $60 price for the data, so I could carry one device and pay for only one device, but I don't see this happening in the near future.
    I pay for unlimited data on both devices now, so I would be saving $60 a month. I see that as a plus.
    When talking to Apple employees, they sure do mention 3rd party apps a lot. I wonder if Apple is going to rely on someone else coming up with the solution. There was a hack for the tether issue on the 1st gen iphone...
