Will tethering my IPhone5 to my MacBook to watch tv programs result in large data usage?

My wifi signal is not strong/reliable.  I tether my IPhone 5 to my MacBook for a more secure/reliable internet connection.  I'd like to use my IPhone hotspot to watch tv on my laptop but I'm concerned that it will use large amount of data  I do not have unlimited data on my cell plan.  Please advise.

Thanks Roaminggnome ... that's what I was afraid of ...

    Can't back up my Iphone5 to my macbook pro, it tells me it may be corrupted, also I don't know how to delete the old backup to redo it

    Hi Caveman337,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!  The resource below will explain how to delete an old iTunes backup.  Before you do this, I would suggest creating an iCloud backup of your iPhone. 
    Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203977
    Back up using iCloud
    If you're using iCloud, it can automatically back up your content. Use these steps to turn on iCloud Backup:
    Tap Settings > iCloud > Backup. If you're using iOS 7 or earlier, tap Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup.
    Tap iCloud Backup to turn it on.
    Tap Back Up Now.
    After you turn on iCloud Backup, iCloud will back up your content automatically. You can return to this screen to see when the last back up happened.
    Create and delete iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch backups in iTunes - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/ht4946
    Where your backups are stored
    The folder where your backup data is stored depends on your computer's operating system. Make sure the backup folder is included in your data-backup routine. iTunes places the backup files in these places:
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    The "~" represents your Home folder. If you don't see Library in your Home folder, hold Option and click the Go menu.
    Delete a backup
    If you want to delete a backup created by iTunes:
    Open iTunes Preferences:
    Mac: Choose iTunes > Preferences.
    Windows: Choose Edit > Preferences. Learn how to turn on menus in Windows 7 and 8.
    Click Devices. (The iOS device doesn't need to be connected.)
    iTunes will show the phone number, International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) number, and serial number of the backed up iPhone when you position your mouse pointer over a backup. (Only the serial number will be shown for iPad and iPod touch). You can use this to find the backup you want to delete.
    Select the backup you want to remove.
    Click Delete Backup.
    When prompted, confirm that you want to remove the selected backup by clicking Delete Backup.
    Click OK to close the iTunes Preferences Window.
    Backups that have a date and time stamp in the backup name are copies of backups created by restoring the iOS device. The date and time in the left column are when the restore-from-backup occurred. The date and time in the right column are the last synced date; this shows how current the data is.
    I hope this information helps ....

  • HT3775 What codec do I need to play video that is called .avi.  It will not play on my new Macbook Pro.

    What codec do I need to add to play a video that is called .avi
    It will not play on my new Macbook Pro since I put it into the movies section of my launchpad.  When it was on the desktop It worked fine.  I moved it back to the desktop and it still does not work.
    The error message says  The document "   .avi" could not be opened.
    A required codec is not available.

    Download VLC Media Player which plays anything you throw at it and  Perian (AVI and FLV support). 

  • I can't connect my iphone5 to my Macbook Air via Bluetooth?

    Can someone please tell me why I can't connect my iphone5 to my Macbook Air via Bluetooth?
    Is this just the most ridiculous oversight or is there some underlying reason why this doesn't connect and function properly? How amazing would it be if I could just click on a contact number and dial from my phone like I could in 2008 via my Lenovo and my Blackberry. This blows my mind that two devices that scream compatibility are far from it. From my bluetooth options it see my device, then sends a code, I confirm and then it briefly connects only to disconnect almost immediately. #fail #appleoversight #failfailfail
    Fix it or I'm going back to PC ****

  • Java will no longer run on my MacBook pro since I updated my java

    Java will no longer run on my MacBook pro since I updated my java - what the heck is with that? When I try to do as suggested and go under Java preferences it wont allow me make any changes this is the error message I get "Cannot launch "java preference" no compatible version of Java 1.5 + is available."
    Then it gives the option to open java preferences or quit. It will only allow me to quit as it won't open java preferences. Stupid updates!

    Why does this happen? I have tried several cables and it does the same thing.

  • Will tethering work without tethering "option"?

    Will tethering on iPhone 4 work without the more expensive tethering "option" from AT&T?
    Isn't it just a cable from the phone to your iMac that does the trick?
    I don't have an iPhone yet, just wondering...
    Thanks.

    Tethering is a carrier feature and the option to tether will only appear in settings if your carrier supports tethering. Carriers charge for the use of this feature & yes, AT&T charges accordingly. You can tether either by bluetooth or USB cable. So no, its not a simple matter of connecting a cable. You first have to sign up for tethering.

  • What will happen if i reformat my macbook ?

    I want to know what will happen if i reformat my macbook pro , is it complicating ? to do it

    The lagging..freezing..and so on could be caused my a number of problems. Search these forums using keywords to find recommended fixes.
    Reinstalling (reformatting) a Mac is almost never required. That approach is a Windows technique.

  • Will adobe creative suite run on macbook air?

    will adobe creative suite run on macbook air?

    Do NOT get any MacBook 2012 models if you use Adobe CS4, 5, 5.5 or 6.  All models are crashing on any dialog box popup's, i.e. they are nearly unusable for work, unless you like saving every 30 seconds.  They do restart Indesign very fast after it crashes...  Apple has made no comment on what seems to be an obvious video card driver issue in OS X 10.7.4 on the new 2012 models. There are a number of other video related issues as well, but the show stopper for us is the Indesign incompatibility.  Google "fixed" the Chrome problems by removing the 3D accelerator calls thereby slowing down Chrome on these models.
