With Share Everything, can I connect my phone directly to MacBook for Internet?

I have a Samsung Convoy and wonder if I can connect my phone to my MacBook using the USB/micro USB cable that came with my phone charger, so that I can use the Internet on my laptop away from my home internet service? Or is the only way to do this to purchase a Jetpack and connect through that?

Well, it seems that you may use the phone via the bluetooth modem networking feature as well as other possible configuration modifications located in the advanced section of the network preferences.
If your Macbook Pro is Lion or Mt. Lion or 64-bit with Snow Leopard, you may want to reboot the Macbook in the 32-bit mode. This can be done by pressing the 3 and 2 number keys while it starts back up.
Also, from the vzam.net site there is a link for the VZAccess Manager for the Convoy 2, not sure if this is yours but you may view the listing to see if it's available, if so then that's your easy fix.
If it's recognized when plugged in via the Network Preferences, you may be able to configure it as a Generic USB Modem as the Vendor and EVDO support as the model.
Maybe some of this helps a little bit.

Go to Solution.

Ths is a shot in the dark, but if you're using a USB cable, you might need to install
Nokia_Connectivity_Cable_Driver_eng.msi
Apparently later versions of PC Suite shouldn't need it, but my experience suggests otherwise.
Good luck!

Hi PatMcMahon,
I'm a bit unclear on just which troubleshooting steps you were following previously, but if you are still having issues with your iPhone 5 showing up in iTunes on your Windows machine, you may want to take a look at the following article:

Hi, Shadiamond Murray.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Sometimes a simple power cycle of the router can correct the issue that you are experiencing. However, the issue could be a little more complex. Wi-Fi routers need adjustments to settings periodically for optimized performance with the constant progression of wireless device technology. Below, I have included two articles. The first article will cover basic Wi-Fi troubleshooting regarding iOS device connection. The second article cover the recommended settings for current Wi-Fi access points.

Full coverage with 3G Coverage can't connect to internet

Full bar with 3G COVERAGE can't connect to Internet. This goes the same with personal hotspot and the internet browser and apps that required internet. After reset by pressing the "on/off button" + "home" button , "RESET ALL NETWORK" , or even restarting the phones , after sometimes of normal operations it's back to the same cycle.
I'm using iPhone 5s with iOS 7.1.
Anyone have any solutions?
Thank you.

Hi,
If the router isn't in guarantee,the RESET Button is electric contact maker,if you dont do that before,dont do it - open router,see on the plate where are weld a reset button's pins,set the contact between them and hold for a 30-40 may be a minute,and it should go to reseting.But if you dont do that before,dont do it and now.
In the resset button have 2 wafers,if they are oxidated,they cant doing a el.contact.
Good Luck!!!!
Thanks
Kind Regards

My iphone 3gs says I need to restore my phone with itunes. when i connect the phone it says i need to unlock the phone which i cannont due because of the caution saying i need to restore. does anyone have any idea how to fix this problem

My iphone 3gs says I need to restore my phone with itunes. when i connect the phone it says i need to unlock the phone which i cannont due because of the caution on the phone. How do i fix this?

Hold down the power button and home button at the same time until the phone powers on, shuts back off, powers on again and continue to hold it until it shows the itunes logo to plug in to itunes. This should allow you to restore without unlocking it.

Get more information about your computer. Go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window, then "About This Mac". Write down what it says about "version"and report that here. Now continue to "More Info..." Copy and paste the information here, but omit the serial number and Hardware UUID (if present).
Even my 12 year old Mac lets me download the newest iTunes. Of course I can't install it but any computer can download the installer files so we need to know precisely what you are trying and what error messages you are seeing.

If it is your password on your appleID account then click on the link to reset your password.
If it is your four digit passcode then See here - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212
You will have to go down the route of a Restore. Please read carefully the links therein with regard to using a different different computer from that with which you normally sync.
[You may also have to put your device into Recovery Mode - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 ]

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 ****

Can only connect from one direction

I'm having trouble video confrencing... I tried searching the forums, but I'm having trouble thinking of clever search terms.
I can only connect from one direction with one person. They can invite me to a chat and it works fine every time. However when I invite them it always fails. I can invite other people and it works fine though.
This doesn't seem like a typical router problem, because they can invite me and we videochat just fine.
This has been a problem for most versions of iChat that I can remember, but I'm using 3.1.5 currently.

Hi
Is the other person a PC user.

Can't connect windows xp using airport extreme to internet

Hi i just purchased my airport extreme base station. I tried connecting it to my windows xp for internet and so i can have wireless connection to my macbook.
Im using timewarner cable as my ISP connected through ethernet. I choose DHCP in the configuration to detect IP address provided but I couldn't connect and it tells me invalid IP address.. (i followed the instruction from the manual)... I tried to do it manually then I typed my IP address,but it asks for
1. Subnet Mask- not sure so I just went by whats default which is 255.255.0.0
2. router address- I dont know where to get this.. tried 10.0.1.1, 10.0.1.2, 192.168... no clue where to get this...
The light was on amber when I used DHCP (automatic)- which gives me error of wrong IP address
After I did it manually with my IP address its now green still no internet connection (problem is probably subnet mask and router address)
can anybody help please?

Ace83, Welcome to the discussion area!
I tried connecting it to my windows xp for internet...
The cable modem should be powered off and connected to the WAN port on the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS). The PC should be connected to one of the AEBS's LAN ports.
Configure the AEBS to use the same settings as the PC was using to connect to the Internet. The PC should now be configured to use DHCP and Ethernet to get on the Internet.
