Using iPhone to connect my MacBook to the internet.
Any ideas on how I can use my iPhone to connect my MacBook to the internet?
Hi RonAnnArbor,
Why not just tell people the truth and let them be responsible for their own actions. You cannot seriously expect us to believe that you are this ridiculously naive. Let's suppose that you are in a geographic/physical location that does not have free, or pay WiFi. But, to get the customer up and running you need a real machine with real apps to do some work. This, opposed to just playing on the net with the iPhone. Real work, not reading emails and showing your technically challenged friend how your blog looks on the phone... Instead of that, you are looking at stuff that is technical, contains a great deal of information, or contains a great deal of formatting. Could you not see that it would be easier to work with this type information not just from a readability standpoint, but a usability standpoint on something with a larger display?
I digress. Anyway there is no way to connect your MacBook Pro to the net because there is no connection available and you are in the middle of no where, but your iPhone is in your holster and has a freakin' marvelously strong signal. So, you have this iPhone in your pocket right next to your xxxx and it is doing nothing but playing your favorite music.
Hmm, interesting "You have an Unlimited Data Plan with AT&T" why not use it to create your own WiFi hotspot with your iPhone and allow your MacBook Pro, Windows PC, whatever to share the phone's data connection so that these and other devices can connect to the net via the iPhone? So you still don't see the advantage?
That is an awesome feature and makes it so you can connect with anything, anywhere using your iPhone. Talk about a new marketing angle. Your iPhone is now your ISP. The iPhone would be acting as, well, a modem if that helps you bring the aforementioned post full circle.

Cannot connect 2 macbooks to the internet through AEBS?
Hi,
I have 2 Macbooks, Airport Extreme Base Station & a 320T D-link router. My ISP is plusnet who uses PPPoA settings on the d-link router. So i have set the router up and when i connect it to the Macbooks directly via ethernet i can access the internet. But once i connect the d-link router to my AEBS i cannot connect to the internet? Both Macbooks can see the base station but they cannot access the basestation. If i put the base station in bridge mode the light will go green and one can connect to the internet but obviously i want both to connect! I am unable to put the d-link router in bridge mode as my ISP does not support this as the router will only work on the PPPoA settings to retrieve the IP's etc from Plusnet. I have spent countless hours on the phone to apple and changing settings but to no success. I have spent more money to buy the d-link router as i had a netgear D111MP router previously but i read that it was a poor product to go with the AEBS. So the issue does not lie with the router?
If anyone can help i would appreciate it so much as this has become so frustrating!
Many thanks!!Thanks Duanne, problem is that i have bought the netgear DM111P and the d-link 320T and found out that they cannot work for some reason. So i have spent £70 on both modems/routers plus the £119 on the AEBS. It's just a bit annoying when i have spent a lot of time and money on something which i was hoping would be as simple to set up as all the other apple products.
By the way i'm not having a go even though it sounds like it! The main thing on my mind is to get my AEBS working. Would it be possible to advise me on a router that will work well with my AEBS to solve this issue i am having? Also one that can use the PPPoA settings from my ISP? This would be greatly appreciated as i don't want to go out and buy another router and find out it doesn't work.
Also if i get a router that can do this what would be the setup of my AEBS?
Thank you for your time on this! -
why cant I reset my macbook with command and R when I push them dont be work and when i turn on my macbook a black page preview and said restart?please help me
Something is very wrong with your system, you need to try repairing the hard drive if possible. See:

If that doesn't work, you'll probably need to reinstall the system. -

Why cant I connect address book to more than one email account.
Why cant I connect address book to more than one email account I have 3 but can only do this for my icloud account ?? I am using the correct pass word but still no joy ????
I bought an iPhone 3G this morning (wahoo!), and can confirm that I have setup both an IMAP (for my home server) and an exchange server (for work).
Exchange is set to push email (so will get email as it arrives) and IMAP is currently set to manual, and is working like a charm.. With multiple accounts you get to set one as the preferred which it will default to when composing (but you can change the accounts on the compose screen)
Only minor annoyance is signature is shared between both accounts, other than that am loving it! -

If you're running 10.7.5 as your profile indicates then that is the problem. You need Mountain Lion (10.8)

My macbook doesn't connect to the Wi-Fi at home while my iPad connects to the same Wi-Fi. When I try connecting my macbook to my iPhone's personal hotspot, the internet works but the issue is connecting my macbook to the Wi-Fi. Please help!!
I don't understand how to fix this and I don't seem to understand where the problem is coming from.Let's try the simple approach first. Restart your router. Any change?

My MBP is Early 2011 but dunno why cant use mirroring with apple TV, the icon cannot be found. So cannot use mirroring.
I have follow trouble shooting , they recommend to go system preference -> display , thus can find out the mirroring icon if no mean it doesnt support. But according to the web, Early 2011 MBP should be able to use, dunno why.Just realise I havent updated my OS to mountain lion and this is the reason why I cannot use mirroring before ^^
Thanks all -
Hello, I am having some major troubles connecting my iPhone 4S to my home wifi. When I try to connect on my phone, it says I have an incorrect password. That's not possible because I can connect my MacBook to the same network with the same password. I have reset my network settings on my phone, reset my router, called apple support, triple checked I was trying it in correctly, I have no clue what's going on.
The only thing different is I just moved, but I have the same router/phone/internet provider.
I've seen some discussions of router security options being the problem, I have my router connected to : WPA-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PSK [AES].
The other options are: WEP , WPA-PSK[TKIP] , WPA2-PSK [AES] , WPA/WPA2 Enterprise.
My troubleshooting and understanding of all this is pretty limited, my applecare service did not help, please can anyone help me?
Thanks!If the issue happened after an update, you may want to go into an Apple Store. Be sure to let them know exactly what's wrong with the device.

Connect Macbook to the Internet (VPN) through PC
I got a PC with 2 network cards and a Macbook.
On a PC I got VPN connection to my provider.
How can I connect Macbook to the internet through that PC + safely sharing my PC's contents only to my Macbook.I did all that. My question concerns more the software than the hardware. I already said that I have 2 newtork cards in a PC desktop and one in macbook. I got cables. I plugged everything in.
The problem is that the preparation work is described in so many details but the crucial program work is very unclear in the majority of web sites I googled. I need this part. -

When i try to connect my macbook to the wifi i get this message: The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems. Please try again later.
Apache/2.2.17 (Fedora) Server at www.google.com Port 80
What do i do?Did this just started to happen recently? If so, have you done any updates on your Mac? Does this happen when connected either by wireless or with a wired connection to the Internet? Does this happen when connected to another wireless network or just yours?
