Wanting to connect to bluetooth phone for internt access

Can anyone please help me. I just purchased a Powerbook 17" G4 and I want to use it on my vacation. I want to find out, since none of the people at the phone services think it can be done, what phone and service I can use to connect my Mac to the internet using the cell phone. If anyone can provide me with this information I would be grateful I live in St. Louis, Missouri, if that matters.
Thank you for your time in reading this topic!

Did you resolve the question? I was so engrossed in how to get the Razr3 to work that it didn't occur that I could help. I have always had a great success with sony ericsson bluetooth phones and my laptop. Until now I have had service with AT&T. The tech at AT&T had me set my PB to dial 99**1#. I clicked on the settings for bluetooth and clicked connect and the icon showed data in motion and I was online. I haven't had the same experience with Motorola unfortunately.

    What do you want to connect to? iPhone BlueTooth can not connect to a computer, except for tethering. See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3647

  • HT201328 I have been given permission for unlocking my iphone 3 GS from Orange. I want to set up the phone for my wife to use with a new number and carrier. Do I unlock under my itunes account first or set one up for her and then unlock the phone.

    I have been given permission for unlocking my iphone 3 GS from Orange. I want to set up the phone for my wife to use with a new number and carrier. Do I unlock under my itunes account first ( I now have a new iphone on this account) or set one up for her and then unlock the phone. I am worried about upsetting the new phone.

    I would complete unlocking as is and then
    restore as new once you know the iPhone is unlocked
    Be aware Orange will process the request at their speed
    one of the reasons they usually reside at bottom of User Sat surveys
    will likely take weeks
    This may also help

    If you don't plan on carrying it, the keyboard that is sold for use with the Mac is a great keyboard because it is full size.

  • HT3728 I do not need another wireless network but want to use the airport express for printer access only.  Can this be done and how?

    I do not need another wireless network but want to use the airport express for printer access only.  Can this be done and how?

    You can configure the AirPort Expess to "Join a wireless network" and enable the Ethernet port so that Ethernet devices will be able to connect.
    In order to print from the iOS devices, you will need to have an application like Printopia installed on your Mac. The Mac must be active when you want to print.
    More details here: Printopia - AirPrint to Any Printer - Print from iPad - Print from iPhone ...
    There is a free trial available for Printopia, so make sure that it will work before you buy the AirPort Express.

  • Messages won't connect to bluetooth headset for sound output

    I have a Plantronics Voyager Legend bluetooth headset that can pair with more than one device. I got it so I could switch back and forth from my phone to my MacBook Pro (running Mavericks) easily. It works great everywhere. EXCEPT, it won't work for Messages sound output. I've talked with three different Apple support people and with Plantronics. I tried a workaround I found elsewhere using Soundflower, but that did not work either. I've checked all settings, unpaired/repaired, shut down/rebooted/reset; looked for software issues; downloaded the current firmware; tried turning bluetooth off my phone to see if that was an issue; and probably some other things I'm forgetting; all to no avail.
    Any ideas?

    Following up on the above...
    My S10-HD paired straight out of the box w/ my iPod Touch 2G; however, when I tried to pair it with my iPad 2, the iPad 2 would just search...and search...and search.
    On page 7 of the S10-HD manual, you'll see a note saying, "To pair your headphones again, press and hold the "0" (power) key until the status light becomes steadily lit in blue".
    This proved to be the key to getting the S10-HD to work with the iPad 2. The S10-HD needs to be "off", then you'll have to press and hold for around 7 to 10 seconds.
    Furthermore, it appears (from my own testing; your results may differ) that the S10-HD can only be paired to one device at a time. That may sound obvious, but what it means is that you'll first have to turn off Bluetooth on the paired device with which the S10-HD is currently connected, then connect it to the other device with which it is already paired. (Kind of a pain, but I can live with it.)
    Also, if there's anyone considering the S9-HD or who's had an S9-HD fail because of sweat incursion (i.e., you use it at the gym, etc.), Motorola is offering a warranty upgrade from the S9-HD to the S10-HD. What you need to know is: (1) The S9-HD will fail from the least bit of sweat entering the unit through the speakers; and (2) The S9-HD sounds better than the S10-HD (a lot better...it's a tradeoff you have to be willing to live with if you want these for exercise). To get the S10-HD if you've experienced prob's w/ your S9-HD as described, call Julie Scofield in the Consumer Advocacy Office at Motorola's Corporate Headquarters: (847) 523-5852.

  • Want to connect Apple Bluetooth to iMac and iPhone

    I can get it to pair to both the phone and the imac, but am having trouble switching back and forth. I don't need to have them both active at the same time, but would like to be able to switch whenever I want. Let me know what i can do. Thanks.

    Interesting. I bought a Plantronics 650e bluetooth headset to use with my iphone and Powerbook (Skype). The Plantronics site said it was compatible with the iPhone and capable of multipoint bluetooth pairing with two other devices. I've tried two of the Plantronics headsets and found that they work fine when only paired with the iPhone. However once I pair it with the Powerbook I find that the iPhone will not talk to the headset again unless I re-pair the headset to the iPhone bluetooth. However once I turn the headset off or talk to it with the Powerbook bluetooth it will no longer work with the iPhone. I'm starting to think that the iPhone is broken with respect to multipoint paired bluetooth headsets or at least this Plantronics one. Does anyone have an iPhone working with a bluetooth headset that is paired with multiple devices at the same time? Which one? Do you have any tips on getting it working?

  • Voice connectivity over bluetooth lost for nokia x...

    I had purchased nokia x6 around 3 months ago. Till yesterday, I was able to pair the X6 device with my bluetooth headset and also my car bluetooth device and everything was working fine.
    Suddenly now, the device is able to pair with headset or car kit but absolute no voice is being heard through both channels. Phone without the bluetooth works absoolutely fine.
    I am not able to listen to any music, voice, phone call or any sound at all once the phone is paired with any bluetooth device(bluetooth headset or car kit).
    What can be the possible reason and solution? Please suggest urgently
    Thanks

  • I want to upgrade my wifes phone for Christmas, do I have to activate it within a certian amount of time after purchase.

    I have been given a number of contradicting answers.

    As for the people on eBay, my only beef with them is that it has turned into a money hungry store instead of an auction place to pick things up inexpensively, like it used to be.
    Agreed.
    There is one, in particular, who really puts a dear price on his flashed cards.
    Not a friend to the Mac community.
    Of course, others see his prices, and say "Well, if he can, then so can I".....
    By the way, I have been noticing the same cards, only for PC for around $30-$40, which lead me to believe that those are the ones they are "flashing". Sorry if that's incorrect.
    It's OK.
    I watch for the prime cards all the time.
    Radeon 9800 Pro and XT PC cards have increased to the $50-$70 range.
    Pros used to be $20-$30, XTs $30-$60.
    Some guys here in Japan are trying to get $100 for Radeon 9800 Pro cards- vanilla PC versions.
    The glut in Mac options has inflated the flashable PC card market dramatically.....
    The Mac Edition Pro retailed for $200+.
    $100 isn't bad for that card flashed to Mac... the XT gets $20-$50 more.
    Try telling a PC guy that a Radeon 9800 is a $100 card..... the old boys laugh!
    Adding to this is the recent influx of "new" Mac users, PC modders/users buying cheap, used G4's, and the demand for upgrades has increased as supply decreased.
    If you see any rev 5.70 Geforce 7800 GS AGP cards, or any FireGl (Radeon) X800XT (unflashed) cards for less than $130, amazing is all that I have to say.
    $30-$40, and I'll take 20 of each- cash!
    Hmm, same goes for Geforce 6800 Ultra's......
    I am just a little (or a lot) frustrated with Apple and Apple vendors lately. For obvious and not so obvious reasons. Please accept my apologies as I go through this phase.
    We all have our days, and our reasons. At least, I know I do......
    Apology warmly accepted!
    Count me as frustrated, as well.
    The new machines sure look nice, but when I tally up the price of the software that I own, which can't be run on Intel or 10.6x Macs, my room full of G4's look a lot nicer.

  • Can I use the Airport Express to connect to a Linksys Wireless Network and then use the Ethernet port on the Airport for a wired connection to a device for internet access?  Would I be able to then also use that Ethernet pt to a Ntwk Hub for more wired c

    Thanks for the help.  Looked but not clear on what I am trying to do as being possible.  Can I use an Airport Express to connect wireless to a Linksys Wireless Router, such that I can then use the Ethernet ports on the Airport to either connected to a PC wired, or even use a hub off the Airport Express to allow multiple wired connections to it? 
    I am not looking to have the Airport Express extend my wireless network, just connect to it and provide me wired connections in a different location from where my Linksys Route is located.  Would prefer to replace Linksys with all Apple, but just not possible financially yet.  Thanks for the help.

    If the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) is an 802.11n model, then yes, you can reconfigure it as a wireless Ethernet bridge. In this configuration, the AX would join the wireless network provided by the Linksys router and its Ethernet port would be enabled for either a single wired device or for an Ethernet hub or switch for multiple devices.

  • Mac Loses Network Connection while Sleeping (Wake for Network Access ENABLED)

    I have "Wake for Ethernet network access" enabled in my Energy Saver preferences. However, it appears that my Mac disconnects from the network entirely when it sleeps; therefore, this does not work when I am trying to connect while it's asleep.
    I suspect this because it always takes a moment to connect to the network when I wake it up. Webpages don't load until about 30 seconds after the computer wakes up. I can't connect to my Mac over the Internet (with my port forwarding enabled) anymore, which is a big problem.

    The article isn't very clear, but I've seen from a Google search "wake on LAN on Mac" that people think that the setting in Energy Saver enables simple wake on LAN as well. Maybe it does both. Wake on Demand has the advantages of advertising the sleeping Mac's services via Bonjour and responding to pings without waking up the sleeping Mac.
    To be honest, I hardly know how Bonjour works, just that it's used to discover Apple devices on a network and that it gives each Mac an alternate hostname that you can use (for example, Bobs-Mac-Pro).. It seems like the Bonjour Sleep Proxy would only work if you're connecting via Bonjour to the Mac. If you connect directly by the IP address (192.168.1.12 for example), the router must send that straight to that Mac and not through a Bonjour Sleep Proxy (because how would it know to look for a BSP?). I tried connecting by address to my Mac from a computer on LAN while my Mac was asleep, and it woke up. It used to do that over the Internet, but now it doesn't, which is my problem. I was going to take it a step further and cut out any Bonjour Sleep Proxies totally by connecting the computers directly with ethernet, but that caused my Mac to refuse to sleep at all.

  • Want to use my G5 iMac for remote access

    I have an old G5 (white) iMac that is currently not being used.  It is running the last PPC software which I believe is OS X 10.5 Leopard.
    One of my family members lives out of state and I would like hgim to be able to transfer files to and from his Macbook Air to the iMac, sor of as a remote backup and storage devise.  I don't have the OS X Server software and even think that would be more than I am looking to do.
    Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions how I can expose this iMac to the web so it can be used remotely to store data and transfer files between locations?
    Thanks,
    David

    Yes.  I use CrashPlan to backup my Mom's iMac (300 miles away) to a Mac in my home.
    It has been awhile since I set this up, but I think if you authenticate the remote CrashPlan as yourself, then backup server will appear in CrashPlan setup.
    If you register the remote CrashPlan as different account, then you can have your CrashPlan send a connection link and authentication code that the remote CrashPlan can use to establish a connection.
    This is all using the free options.
    CrashPlan will back external drives, as well as backup to external drive.  Again, all included as part of the free option.
    The 2 main restrictions to the free option is that it will only automatically backup once a day, and you of course have to provide your own server and storage (paid option allows more frequent backups and CrashPlan will provide their own off-site storage for your data).
    NOTE:  In the mode of backup up to a remote friends (family member's) system, you can configure things so that you can also backup in the other direction as well. That is to say, you can backup your friend, and your friend can backup your stuff.
