Using Motorola I870 as modem for Macbook

Does anyone have any idea how to use my Nextel Motorola I870 as a modem to connect my MacBook to the internet through Bluetooth? I am having big problems making that happen. I have been on the phone with Apple, Motorola, Bluetooth and Nextel and they were NO help. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

A Blackberry 8703e is a Sprint device, so you'll have to resolve the issue with Sprint.
Sprint fields what they term the Sprint PCS Business Connection. You'll need that option if it is not already part of your subscription plan, and you'll need to tether a laptop through your Blackberry 8703e and your carrier via USB. Bluetooth connections via DUN are not supported. To enable a connection, Sprint states that you'll need the Sprint Connection Kit, which you find for several different operating systems—including Mac OS X—here:

Except that, I wasn't able to locate a package for your Blackberry when I looked there: only packages for Sprint's PC data cards seemed to be available. So, you must perform the recursive loop at this point, and contact Sprint.
I don't believe that anyone but Sprint will be able to resolve the issue for you. You certainly cannot do it without enabling the data option, which only they can activate.

  • Can I use a non-FiOS modem for secondary ethernet from FiOS coax

    I intend to set up a home theater PC to connect to a TV located in a different room from the current FiOS modem/router (Actiontec MI424). I may use an HTPC 'extender' in the room with the TV, connected by HDMI.  However the Ceton Echo extender requires a direct ethernet connection, CAT5 I think.  What I'm considering in a few months, when my Verizon contract is up, is to drop all service except high speed internet from Verizon.  Then I could use the coax currently connected to the TV instead to connect to a modem or MoCA device which would output CAT5 ethernet to the HTPC extender.
    I am not knowledgeable about ethernet and TV signals.  From what I can gather, a MoCA connection is preferable to a powerline network and maybe even better than running a long CAT5/CAT6 cable from room to room, which I don't want to do.  There is an Actiontec MoCA device available that claims to 'convert' from coax cable internet input to ethernet output.  Would this work to supply the Ceton extender using the FiOS coax that currently supplies TV signals to my Verizon set-top box?
    Even more preferable to me, I currently have an unused Zoom cable modem/router that is Docsis 3.0 certified and which worked well for Charter internet supplied by coax.  It is less than 2 years old.  Could I simply use this Zoom modem with the second FiOS coax in the living room, instead of buying a new MoCA device?  That would mean I would be simultaneously using two coax-connected modems for ethernet: the Verizon-supplied Actiontec and my own Zoom modem/router.   If not, what is different about the MoCA device vs. what a cable modem does?
    I think what I don't understand is whether there is a difference in the signal currently available from the coax supplying the TV: is it 'normal' cable TV/internet that the Zoom modem should be able to convert to ethernet, or not?  If this is possible, would I need to have Verizon do any configuring of it?  I did try to connect it myself and was unable to make an internet connection.  How do the providers control whether you receive through the coax ethernet-only or ethernet plus TV.  I get that the phone service is just a form of VOIP managed through the Verizon ONT in the basement.

    MOCA frequencies are above those used for TV and can coexist on the same coax.  All you need at the TV is a 1x2 splitter rated 1Ghz or better.  One side goes to the TV.  The other wide goes to the MOCA adapter.

    A cat5 connection is most preferable.  Second the MOCA.  Third is powerline networking.

    There are a number of available MOCA adapters.
    What is a MOCA Bridge?

    That Zoom cable modem won't work.  MOCA and DOCSIS are two completely different technologies.
    BTW, the Actiontec is NOT considered a modem.

    VZ can enable or disable any of three services provided by the ONT individually.

    If you are trying to connect via wifi to our iPhone then the password should be displayed on your phone when you go into Personal Hotspot, by default it is a random password set by the phone but you can change it there.

  • Can Apple iPhones be used as an Internet modem for computers?

    Hello.
    Can Apple iPhones (e.g., 4S and its iOS v7.1.2), with its data plan (e.g., 2 GB Verizon Wireless 3G), be used as Internet modems for computers (Mac OS X 10.5.8+, Windows XP+, and Linux/Debian [stable])? If so, then how?
    Thank you in advance.

    They can be used both as a USB-connected modem and as a Wi-FI hotspot. Wi-FI Hotspot tends to be the easiest to configure. To turn it on, you'll need to go to Settings > Personal Hotspot and configure the few settings that appear in the menu.
    Note that on some older plans, Hotspot or Tethering requires additional payment to use if I remember correctly. On Share Everything plans this is included.
    Let's say an iPhone 4S (iOS 7.1.2) has Verzion Wireless' 2 GB data plan used for its 3G Internet stuff. It already has the requirements to provide. Just need to enable its wifi hotspot for other devices to connect to. Am I correct?

  • External modem for MacBook Pro

    We are going on vacation to a remote location - no wifi available. It was suggested that I purchase the Apple MA034Z/A external modem for a dial up connection. After reading user reports of this not working with Intel does anyone have any suggestions? I see that Apple no longer makes/sells this product but that it is available from other sources. I am very new to all this - any assistance is appreciated.

    It works fine.

  • Isdn modem for macbook pro

    I am living in italy and the home i am in has isdn, does apple or someone make a modem for isdn that will work with my OS and laptop...i have the dialup modem, but i am told that isdn is faster.

    Your Telco/ISP would provide an ISDN Modem with the service if it's available to you, give your Telco a call. (I think Tiscali offer ISDN across all of Italy)
    I have an NTII (Australian Telco) ISDN Modem and it works OK on this MBP, it's just not as fast as my wireless link ...

  • Using Apple TV as display for MacBook

    Is there any way for me to use my Apple TV to display what I see on my macBook wirelessly to my flat screen TV? I have a 1TB Time Capsule as well if that helps.

  • Using tv as external display for MacBook Air?

    Does anyone know how to use a 21.5" Samsung LED TV with 1920x1080 resolution as the external display for a MacBook Air A1369 running OS X 10.6.8 (broken screen)?

    I guess you have to buy a Belkin HDMI routing cable. From Thunderbolt/Display port to HDMI.
    Then plug it in to your macbook and into your tv. Then press CMD+F1 and voila.
    If you still have any problems, i like to hear from you.

  • Using iMac and the display for MacBook Air

    Evening all
    I'm trying to hook my MacBook Air up to my iMac in order to use my iMac as the Macbook's display. 
    I've just been out and bought a thunderbolt cable, plugged one end into my Macbook and the other into my iMac... pressed command +  F2 but nothing happens?
    I've also tried command + ctrl + F2...
    Where am I going wrong??
    Thanks for your help.

    Unfortunately the instructions do not help me... They suggest that the target display should function provided that a thunderbolt cable is plugged in to each device... however, when I press Command and F2, nothing happens?
    I've tried rebooting both computers, resetting the PRAM and nothing works?

  • Using iMac as a display for MacBook Pro?

    I understand that the new iMacs can be used as external displays but can not find any information on how this works. Is it just a matter of connecting a MacBook Pro to the iMac and hitting a key? Also, what cables do I need to get this to work?
    Thanks

    Hey, I just got my 27" iMac last week and can verify that this works, as of a few minutes ago. I used the cable that converts from DisplayPort (the end that plugs into the iMac) and the mini DisplayPort (the end that connects to the MacBook Pro.
    Plugged in the cable and the iMac screen flashed gray for a second, indicating, I guess, that the iMac had detected the external device. Then I could toggle it over with the Cmd-F2 keyboard trick. When you toggle it on, the iMac screen looks like a giant second monitor for the MacBook Pro. When you toggle it off, the screen switches back to your regular iMac desktop. When I first connected the cable, the MacBook screen dimmed briefly with an overlayed thermometer bar I hadn't seen before indicated some sort of calibration, perhaps? That took a few seconds, then it worked like a charm.
    HOWEVER, if you are expecting the iMac to function as a second display for another device (like a PC, for example), the same trick DOES NOT work. This isn't clear in the documentation on apple.com and even some of the people in the Apple Store who I spoke to when I was buying it had not much clue about this, other than that it would work with a MacBook Pro. There's another device required (evidently) to make this work. Have had to order it, but have not tried it yet:
