Windows 7 and iPhone internet tethering

Hi guys,
I was using the exact same hardware (notebook) and same USB cable and iPhone in the past that the Internet Tethering was working perfectly when in WinXP Pro.
However, recently I re-format my PC to Windows 7. But the problem is now the Internet Tethering somehow is not working.
Symptoms:
My iPhone is connected to the PC, can sync Outlook mail, contacts, calendars etc. When I turned on the Internet Tethering, the mobile shows that it is connected with BLUE bar at the top of the screen. But in my notebook, it doesn't show that it is connected to any devices, nor any NIC there. Finally I confirmed that no IP address obtained.
Is there anything I mis-configured? or this is no way to do this?
Thanks a lot
Tim

The question is answered by my own.
Turn on the Internet Tethering on iPhone. Plug it into the Win7 machine. Let it finished synchronizing. Turn on the Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections. Check for the device - Apple Mobile Device Ethernet by right click and Diagnose it.
After the diagnosis, there was problem found, and I let the Win7 fixed by itself. Then, Win7 can get the IP from the iPhone and do browsing through the PC.

  • I am facing issues with my music on my iOS device. I have five devices connected to my apple id. And out of which a Windows Machine and iPhone is not able to sync the purchased songs on the the Windows machine and the iPhone.

    I am facing issues with my music on my iOS device. I have five devices connected to my apple id. And out of which a Windows Machine and iPhone is not able to sync the purchased songs on the the Windows machine and the iPhone. The iPhone4 shows the songs are not supported and on the Windows Machine the songs do not play completely. Can anyone advice what could have gone wrong ? Because rest of the devices are synced to MacBook and they are able to sync the content normally.  I have even subscribed to iTunes Match but the problem is still not fixed.

    Firstly...  a little Clarity...
    Devices refer to iDevices... iPod... iPhone... iPad. ..   Not Computers.
    Authoriation applies ONLY to Computers... of which there is a Limit of 5 per Apple ID.
    If the issue is with iTunes on your Windows Computer... Perhaps you need to Re-install iTunes...

  • For a LAN network in my office, all laptops are Windows based and the internet is through LAN and other computer get connected with adhoc without the router. My Apple computer nor my iPhone 5 get connected. How do I connect to this Internet?

    In the office, All my colleges use Windows laptops. The Internet connection is out of LAN wire installed in one of the computers. Others use Internet by creating adhoc connection. However none of the apple products are being able to connect to this connection.How can i connect my MacBook Pro or iPhone 5 to this Internet network?

    Just how is the one computer connecting to the internet? What type of connection does the office have, DSL, Cable or is it a Data connection through a Cell phone provider.
    I doubt all other computer are doing Ad-Hoc but are probably Sharing the Internet connection with Internet Connection Sharing from that one Windows base PC.
    All you khave to do is Connect to that same WiFi SSID name and have the correct password for it.

  • IPhone Internet tethering and MSN

    I can use internet tethering fine, everything works well except MSN messenger. I can connect, chat etc... with it but only in "Offline" status. When I try to change my status to "Online" It will sign me off. This only happens when I'm connected using my iPhone as a tethered modem.
    Any suggestions?

    I am having same issue. I can actually connect my Mac (running 10.6.5 and connecting via Cisco client) to the company VPN through my tethered BlueTooth connection (getting the same 172.20... you get). But once on the network I can't do anything. Can't ping. Can't ARD into a box. It's like the IP address the VPN router issues back isn't being seen at the Mac OS level. It's like the 172.20... router just doesn't understand how to jump over to the other network. I guess the Cisco Client isn't properly tunneling through. We even tried pinging backwards from the network to the IP address the Cisco router assigned back to the Mac.

  • Windows 7 Starter Netbook and iPhone 4s tethering

    Hello All.
    This is my first post here, and I thank all in advance who read/reply to my question.
    I just recently purchased an iPhone 4S and it has been working great. I only have one problem with it:
    I am unable to make a connection to my Windows 7 starter netbook for tethering. (personal hotspot)
    I have read the apple support documents and it says windows 7 is supported.
    I have it activated through my carrier (Rogers in Canada). The netbook sees the iPhone and i click connect, it just thinks about it for a minute and just says cannot connect to this network. It doesn't even allow me to enter the passcode I have set on the iPhone.
    I have tried the iPhone on other computers, and they all work and make the connection fine with both wifi connecting and direct USB. Works on my Vista Desktop, my windows 7 home premium laptop, and even my old XP laptop from 2004.
    I have installed iTunes on the netbook and it sees the iphone, but I still can't use it with tethering (thru wifi or USB)
    I thank everyone who reads/responds.

    Hello again.
    I received a response from emachines, and they will NOT assist due to being outside the 90 day warranty that was provided. I am unable to locate my receipt for it so unfortuately, they won't be any help.
    I'd put XP on it in a heartbeat if I'd knew it would work. 2 reasons why I don't do it right now. I'm not sure if I can find the right drivers for the netbook (video, audio, wifi, etc) and I don't have a windows 7 disc. All my PCs that have windows 7 came pre-installed. No recovery disc. I suppose i could use the recovery partition on the netbook though...
    Any other thoughts before I go ahead with the XP install?

  • Major Sync and software update issue with windows 7 and iphone

    Loved my iPhone 3g and love my 4.0! My only concern is syncing and software updates are sporadic.
    When I first purchased and sync'd my 3g on my laptop, that I had since 2005 w/XP home 64bit, it would constantly (1 out of 5 times) show phone was disconnected and could not sync. Purchased a desktop, 2009 w/Vista 64bit (same issue mentioned continued) then upgraded to windows 7 64bit (same issue mentioned continued).
    Both pc's are authorized and contain the same apps and software. I went through all trouble shooting steps (authorize/deauthorize, phone hard boot, sync w/airplane mode on and/or off, uninstall and or reinstall iTunes, etc...) when both phones would brick after software updates on both pc's.
    The last software update 4.0 and most recent 4.2.1 went well on laptop with XP and no longer shows sync issue. The problem continues on the windows 7 and backup has completed successfully 3 times.
    Long story short, I have to pray the laptop never dies because iTunes, syncing and software updates on XP works now! The problem with software update, backups and syncing persists on windows 7.
    * I was able to apply 4.2.1 software update on XP and then connect to windows 7 to sync and backup successfully. I then disconnected/reconnected iphone to windows 7 and problem happened again, unable to sync phone was disconnected error message.

    I've had my new pc for over a year, never had any probs syncing my iphone (then a 3G but now the big 4!)
    I went to sync updates to Apps and a couple of tunes I had downloaded straight to my phone only to get an error message 'iTunes has stopped working - windows is checking the problem' followed by another messaged telling me there was a problem causing the program not to work correctly. Windows will close the program and notify me if a solution is found'
    Well..... I have NO music on my iPhone and every time I try to sync, the same error messages come up and the bloody program shuts down....

  • Macbook pro 17 inch and iphone bleutooth tethering broken again.

    Hi,
    Before the lastest security patch my bleutooth tethering connection finally worked. That was cool
    However now it doesn't work anymore. I believe the latest security patch of mac osx broke it.
    Does anyone have the same experience?
    regards,
    Okpail

    Hi Okpail,
    Try recreating the bluetooth connection as described below.
    Make the iPhone forget the MacBook Pro by tapping Settings> General> Bluetooth> tap the MacBook Pro connection> tap the blue (>) arrow> tap Forget this Device.
    Also, forget the iPhone on your MacBook Pro, just click Bluetooth, in System Preferences> click your iPhone name> click the minus icon> Restart your computer.
    Then setup the Internet tethering over Bluetooth as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2756

  • Indesign vs windows 7 and the internet

    Hi,
    I have a problem with the internet connection - every time I install indesign my connection to internet disappers. When I remove indesign the connection works again.
    I have windows 7 and I'm working with indesign CS3.
    Anyone out there with a theory that might help? It's a bit frustrating to have to install/uninstall everytime I want to work with indesign.

  • Itunes, windows 7 and iphone 3g

    I am using all 3 and things are not good. i cannot sync at all.
    The sync starts and then just freezes.
    Is there a beta version of iTunes specced for Windows 7 that I could download?
    Thanks in advance.
    Cepolly

    No, there is no version of iTunes available at this time that is supported in Windows 7, and probably won't be until sometime after Win 7 is finalized and released. As for now, Windows 7 being a beta itself, with many confirmed bugs, I would strongly recommend (as does Microsoft) that you not use it as your daily operating system.

  • WLan connected, iPad and iPhone internet ok, iMac not working after trying everything (manual ip etc...)

    I am quite new with a mac computer. But i think i nearly tried everything, i have no idea what else could help...
    My iPhone and iPad are working perfektly in the wlan. My iMac works very rarely. Yes it worked once by manual ip, but later it did not work again.
    Wlan always works (sometmes it takes a few seconds until thesymbol is fat, mostly it starts with "no internet")
    I tried so many things...
    - manual ip found out by my windows pc
    - $ in front of the password
    - the apple faqs on the websites
    Very strange, but i hope someone solved an comparable problem already ;)
    Thx!

    I had a surfstick before, does that influence the whole thing?
    And another thing: in other wlans the iMac worked perfectly... Without any manual settings etc.
    Anyone an idea?

  • Itunes problem with Windows 7 and iphone

    I have Windows 7 x64 Ultimate released last week.
    Also I installed Itues 9.0.2.25.
    Today I got a really wierd problem.
    1. My phone was not being charged any way (power or itunes).
    2. Then when I tried to sync my contacts through outlook, it was 6 hours and mu iphone was just keep on syncing. Itunes showed I am using some 180MB space for contacts but my contacts list was empty on phone.
    I had to take the phone back to the store and then all of a sudden it just synced withing 10 minutes.
    I would say, by trying to restore to factory settings through itunes and then re-syncing the phone probably worked.
    But this is really a problem and probably of itunes.

    This forum is for questions from those managing sites on iTunes U, Apple's service for colleges and universities to post educational material in the iTunes Store. You'll be most likely to get help with this issue if you ask in the general iTunes forums.
    Regards.

  • Windows 8 and iPhone 5 USB Driver

    I upgraded my iPhone to version 5 and Windows 8 does not recognize the device. Any ideas how to fix this? I was able to connect my iPhone 4 successfully before on Windows 8. Any ideas what driver I need to download to get my iPhone 5 working on Windows 8. When I do a search automatically for drivers, it returns nothing.

    carlamich:
    Step 1: Install the latest version of iTunes on Windows 8 (using compatibility mode). Windows 8 gives you that option for compatibility mode:
    Right click itunes installer.
    Cick run in compatibility mode windows 7. If it has no issues, itunes will be installed for windows 8 or it will fail.
    (reboot your machine)
    Step 2: Stopped all apple services
    Open a command prompt and type:
    net stop "Apple Mobile Device"
    net stop "Bonjour Service"
    net stop "iPod Service" (find all Apple services or just use the GUI Services under control panel)
    Step 3: Unstalled the unknown USB driver
    For this, you need to go to Device Manager and uninstall unknown USB drivers.
    Don't be scared, if Windows does not understand that driver, free up the space for a driver that actually works when you plug in your cable:
    (please tell me you know how to get to device drivers)
    Step 4: Start up all services and fire up iTunes 11 without my phone plugged in. (nothing plugged in / bare startup mode)
    net start "Apple Mobile Device"
    net start "Bonjour Service"
    net start "iPod Service" (find all Apple services or just use the GUI Services under control panel)
    Step 5: Plug your iPhone5 and let the USB manager do its thing and iTunes immediately will recognized it.
    Step 6: Give me some credit becuase I typed all this stuff for you?

  • Windows 7 and Iphone

    I used to be able to browse my picture folder on my iPhone by way of "My Computer" in Vista x64. Since I upgraded to Win7 x64 device manager does not show "Apple iPhone" and computer does not show "iPhone 2G". Odd part is that it does show in iTunes. Please help me be able to browse via Windows Explorer again. Thanks.

    This is happening to me also. After installing Windows 7-64, the sync with my Ipod freezes after a couple of songs transfers. Tried everything imaginable: Itunes reinstall, execute with compability to VIsta, energy safe mode off to USB ports/hubs, cable change, restore Ipod. I have a Acer Aspire M3641, lastest ITunes version, latest software on Ipod. Please Microsoft, Apple, Intel, whoever, WAKE UP !!! Code 0xE8000065
