How do I use my 8300 as a modem for my laptop

Hi all,
I'm new to this forum. This is my first post...
I'm trying to set up my 8300 smartphone to be used as a tethered modem for my laptop to be able to get the full internet content anywhere with in cell coverage.
Question 1:
I got instructions from the 'BlackBerry HELP' icon on the phone (my question was: how do i use my device as a modem) which seemed very complete. The modem is dial-up and when I try to connect I get Error 718 (basically a timeout error).
Can anyone help?
Question 2:
Since this uses dial-up, would I be using my cell phone minutes?
Thank you, Lar

hello,
first thing is to look on the forum if people have already solved your issue. In this case, the tethering subject is quite frequent. You will certainly find your answer among these discussions :

Blackberry a modem for a laptop

I have my blackberry set up as a modem for my laptop & it works. But I can't access my email. My OS is Vista. Does someone know if there is a special thing that needs to be done?

Check your carrier's webpages for the Blackberry stuff. They should have links to specific software for various connections between Laptops, OS's, etc... I came across mine for AT&T today while poking around. You should have an account for your wireless account that you can check.
hmmm, don't know how I wound up in the business section but check the Communication Manager-

If you are trying to connect via wifi to our iPhone then the password should be displayed on your phone when you go into Personal Hotspot, by default it is a random password set by the phone but you can change it there.

Need a dial up modem for G3 Beige Tower

I have an ethernet card for my G3 Beige Tower but I need a dial up modem so I can hook it up for my mom. Anyone know where I can get one? Milwaukee

The internal 56K Apple/GV modem card that was a Build-to-Order option for the beige G3s offers the convenience of no additional desktop clutter, no extra power supply to bother with, and nothing to turn ON/OFF. It plugs into the brown slot on the audio or A/V personality card. You can see one listed on this page, but the $99.77 price tag is absurd, in spite of its scarcity now. When I stopped buying them a few years ago, used ones could be purchased for about $35. The internal 56K modem card functioned identically as its external Global Village 56K counterpart. If you have the time to keep checking eBay, you may find an internal Apple/GV 56K card eventually show up for auction. Just be sure that it matches the photo shown on the page I linked. Some sellers (mistakenly or not) identify the software-based "Apple GeoPort" modem card as the 56K modem card - which it definitely isn't. For a reliable 56K external modem, the US Robotics 56K v.90/x2 (model 5689-03) was always my choice for the internet and downloads. The Global Village TelePort 56K v.90 external modems with attached modem cable are also a good choice for the beige G3s. These modems are discontinued, but you can find them showing up at eBay or thrift stores. The current US Robotics v.92 external modem (black color and marketed for PCs) can be used with your beige, but (as Jan wrote) you'll need to find a Mac modem cable (DB-25 to mini-DIN8) for it. Additionally, a custom INIT string must be used to disable a couple of unsupported v.92 features, in order for it to function properly. After much trial and error, I arrived at one that did the trick.

Hi everyone, I've got a question. I've noticed that Itunes says me exactly the number of times that I've listened a song since I've put it on the library. Well, I've just put on some new music and I was wondering if there is a way to reproduce only the songs that Itunes nerver played without creating a new playlist.
Thank you

Can I use my phone as a modem for my laptop with its wifi?

If so, how can I do this exactly??
Windows xp professional (if that is of any help)

If your device supports mobile hotshot (which is not a modem) then you can use that. But if you are using an 8520 you do not have that feature.

Slow / intermittent DSL and must re-boot modem for wireless conncetion

I have a Westell 327 modem that must now be re-booted every time I want to connect a device wirelessly.
The speeds are also variable during the day, sometimes ok, sometimes dismal. We just had a 24 hour "test" and the follow up call said all is well NOW. However, no change is noted.

Your line seems to be physically running ok, so I won't press too much on any issues with it regarding speeds for the meantime. As for the wireless, look over your settings as DSLR suggested. I would first start off with checking what Channels any of your neighbors might be using that could be interfering with your wireless signal. Metageek has a nice program called InSSIDer which can show you graphically and in a table what channels are being used by neighbors. If your network is on a channel being used by other networks, change the channel to one that is less used or has no one on it.
One thing to also check over is "4X" setting on the Westell 327w. Proprietary settings like that, if enabled could cause trouble as well (which I've seen on router using Broadcom's Afterburner technology as well). 4X mode should be disabled, MAC address filtering should be disabled, and the wireless should be using WEP by default, but WPA-TKIP or WPA2-AES should be used (WPA2 is best). If you are still having trouble, tell us which devices you are connecting to your network.

Does anyone have access to the Roadrunner dial up script for Mac?

Hello,
I'm getting authentication error when connecting to Roadrunner through their dial up service. I'm told I need a dial up script. The URL they provided leads to a file not found error.
I would also appreciate knowing where I would put this script once I get it.
Thank you in advance,
Mark

There is no dial-up script for RR. There's a dial-up script for the modem you are using, and that's selected in the modem configuration through Network preferences.
Authentication errors occur when the userid and/or password provided for the dial-up account are not correct. They are not caused by the dial-up script itself unless RR uses some sort of non-standard authentication dialog. It's been a long time since I ever used their dial-up, but I don't recall they used a non-standard dialog at the time.
In earlier versions of OS X it was possible to open the dial-up terminal manually so you could observe the remote dialog and enter responses to the dial-in procedure. You could then save the resulting dialog into a login script that would be used once the dial-up connection was made. Unfortunately, I haven't used dial-up in several years, so I'm afraid I'm not much help in this regard. You could do some exploring in Mac Help from the Finder's Help menu to see if you find a help article.

Have U found a way to use a Blackberry Curve as a modem for a PowerBook G4?

I just purchased a Blackberry Curve mobile phone. I am still running Mac OS X version 10.4.11.
One of the selling features for the curve is that it can work as the modem for a laptop via bluetooth.
However, I spent hours on the phone with both T-Mobile tech support and Blackberry support to just find out from Blackberry tech support that the Curve's modem feature is only set up to support PCs.
So, I was wondering if any brilliant minds out there have figured out a way around this?
If you do, could you please respond to [email protected]? Thanks.

Actually, it works with PPT for Windows because Microsoft MADE it work that way. It's why apps like EasyWorship (a windows only church lyric presentation app) can fire PPT files right in the app. There's some transparent control api that PPT has (or there's a third party company that makes it possibly) that just doesn't exist on the Mac.
Personally I wish Apple would build the Keynote engine INTO the OS in Snow Leopard so we can just be done with this issue. Then you could open Keynote files in say, QT or have ANY app be able to play Keynote files correctly. You'd just have to have Keynote to edit them. This would make things SO much more flexible.
QT can open and Play Motion files, why not Keynote?

Is there a difference between microsoft office for mac and for windows?

As a college student it's important that everything is equal for windows and mac for using instructions. So i am wondering if theres a difference between microsoft office for mac and for windows?

There are differences between the two version of Office. If you need to be exactly like the Windows version, you will have to run Windows on your Mac.

Is there a usb 3.0 cable for iPods?

I was wondering if there are USB 3.0 cables for iPods. Any feedback would be great

No. Apple only sells one cable for the iDevices.
The iDevices will work with a USB port but it will be not faster than a USB 2 port.

Mac os 9.1 upgrade to tiger - im sure there are postings i will search for

im sure there is some documentation on this issue i will try to search for it in the mean time i thought it would be reasonable to post my issue as an alternate source of aid,
imac with proper system requirements to upgrade to tiger, i never did and upgrade to os x and i unfortunately didnt read or do research prior to installing, when i put the tiger disc in i followed the instructions and restarted, prior to installing anything the os x cd stated that i need to upgrade my firmware then promted me to restart again, upon restart i got blank screen and now the imac power button lights up however the hard drive kicks in then powers down and the mac wont boot, beep, or display any screen images whatsoever, prior to install/upgrade attempt the imac was having trouble with holding the date and time settings, im not sure if that is related to the now non-booting/blank screen issue, i have read a rew articles on the firmware/tiger upgrade issue, i was wondering if there are any fixes or repairs for this issue, any questions please ask ill give you what information i can, thanks

Hi, denderah -
Welcome to Apple's Discussions.
The Disuccsions forum software somteimes (for unknown reasons) mangles a posted link to another forum page. Here's a repaired link to the page eww referred to -
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=607420
Re the changing date & time, that is a clear indication that the internal battery in your iMac needs to be replaced. That battery, which is used to maintain PRAM and clockchip settings, will wear out over time - the expected life is only about 4 to 5 years. Leaving the iMac unplugged regularly (such as on weekends or overnight) will shorten its life considerably.
For some models of iMacs, the early ones I believe, replacing the battery is not an intended user-level thing to do; on those it is a good idea to take it to an AASP to have it done.
