Since last week my iMac can't recognize my iPhone in Network Preferences, when I plug my iPhone in my macbook the problem is gone, so I tried to reset Network Preferences in iMac and nothing changed I also tried coping Network Preferences from my macbook -since tethering is working fine there- and nothing changed.

Yesterday, I updated the iPhone configuration utility to v 3.5 and I was using the internet via iPhone USB tethering, as soon as the update finished, my iPhone USB tethering stopped working and its not working any more. I am on OS X Lion 10.7.3 using iPhone 4S, iOS 5.1. Now I figured out that running the OS in 32 bit lets me do USB tethering, but in 64 bit the iPhone USB Network Service shows on the right:
"Either the cable for iPhone USB is not plugged in or the device is not responding."
I've tried everything with keeping iTunes running, reinstalling iTunes, re-installing iPhone configuration Utility, but nothing seems to work! I guess the main culprit here is the new iPhone Configuration Utility v 3.5. It is so annoying to see such things breaking existing functionality. It has nothing to do with my Phone, because it works on my other Macbook Pro which I did not update and on my friends Snow Leopard.

my usb tethering stopped working so I thought I'd delete the profile but now cannot get it back. Can anyone tell me how to do so? Wifi and bluetooth tethering still work but usb isnt on my network list.

I have a 9700, originally from wind, unlocked, now on mobilicity. I've setup tethering through the BB management software, everything appears to connect. However, when I try to access any websites, I'm redirected to a 'pay for another account' style webpage. From there I can click 'return home' which brings me to mobilicity's mobile web home page but if I click anywhere there, it brings me back to the 'pay for another account' page. I have a working data plan and have checked with mobilicity and they say there's nothing extra I would have to pay for. I think it may have to do with the phone coming from another network or being unlocked.

View 3 Replies View RelatedSo I am trying to USB tether right? but, for some reason it won't even setup a connection and when I enabled Dedug mode for USB that seemed to get it working. Honestly I don't want to do it that way. I pay for my tethering plan unlike most people on here with T-Mobile.
What I am trying to say is that out the box USB tethering does not work.
Now with Debug enabled I can do it, but when debug is enabled my damn Win 8.1 64 bit flips out! Seriously I don't know what the hell this damn phone is doing to my computer but it forces my CPU to go up to 100% usage!!
I read about apps that allow tethering of other devices without the additional tethering plans... foxfi was one that was suggested... however, I don't think it is working on the S6. Any app that works?
View -1 Replies View RelatedI bought a new work computer and tried using USB tethering with my Atrix. It installed the NDIS adapter but I was getting the infamous 169.x.x.x address. I decided to try it later since I was in a hurry.Now, the phone will not start USB tethering at all. I plug it in and the USB Tethering check box has a light green checkbox like it's turning on, but never changes. I have rebooted and pulled the battery. No change. What's strange is that I plug the USB in and when I go to the tethering screen the USB checkbox is already checked automatically. I seem to remember having to enable it manually before all this started.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI am facing a problem when trying to use my Phone as a modem (for internet) on PC using USB Tethering Option. The driver cannot be installed properly on windows xp eventhough I followed the procedures as metioned in the link [URL].. find the below snap shot of device manager screen in which you could find the driver is not installed.
Note : I tried using my phone as wireless modem (portable hotspot option) and found its working well.
I'm the proud owner of a brand spanking new /white/ iPhone 3GS. I moved to AT&T from VZW and a droid (this phone is MILES ahead of android in terms of OS usability especially since I have a Mac, the syncing is seamless).
I got really lucky and the phone was a 3.1.2 (bought it a few days ago) so I was able to JB (tethered). I started playing around and tried out MyWi for the wifi tethering and it worked awesomely with my MacBook.
Here's my question:
I noticed that under settings>general>network, I have an internet tethering option that uses USB or Bluetooth. Is this a hack that was enabled inadvertently through something I did in the jailbreak process, or is this an AT&T feature that I will be charged extra for using? I'm curious because this seems like a cleaner approach since it's built into the OS.
I have had this irritating problem since I tried "MyWi" on my Iphone. The tethering bar at the top (just below the statusbar) won't go away. Even if I delete the application and restart my Iphone or if I reinstall it and then delete it and restart my Iphone it won't disappear. As soon as I turn my 3G or Wifi on and the phone recon that it has internetconnection there's a bar at the top of my screen saying "tethering" (or in rare occasions "xxxkb/s up xxxkb/s doown"). Sometimes when I turn of 3G and/or my Wifi the bar disapears or if I don't use any internetconnections for a while. I also downloaded ifile and deleted everything under "MyWi" under applications (weird that it was still there even after I deleted it via cydia.) I don't want to reinstall my phone
View 4 Replies View RelatedA co worker of mine racked up 2 gigs of data 2 months ago and burned through a blistering 8.6 gigs of data this past month. All of this on his 3Gs and none of it done by tethering with a jailbroken iPhone. He "claims" that he has no clue how it happened but I'm guessing he knows. How many video clips of wholesome family entertainment would he have to download to hit that impossible number. I nearly myself when I saw the bill.

I am travelling and am in a hotel that has expensive wireless Internet that works only on one registered device. So, if I register my computer, I cannot also use my iPhone or iPad, even if the MBP is off. Does the iPhone allow tethering while on Wi-Fi, not on 3G? In other words, if I register my iPhone for Wi-Fi Internet access with the hotel, would I be able to use it as a 'Personal Hotspot' to get Internet access on the MBP and iPad? Secoond question. If the iPhone is locked to my provider in Canada (Rogers), does this means taht the 3G data is also locked, or is it only the voice/SMS features that are locked?

how to share internet connection from pc to iphone by using USB cable? It is called reverse tethering I guess. I heard that it was implemented in iphone 3G/3GS and apple removed the feature.I heard the rumors that is because apple wants people to use iphone as the primary device and computer as secondary device. For the people like me, we really need reversed tethering because working with desktop computers and Ethernet cable is the only option to internet and those desktops don't have wifi.

Anyone figured out a way to do this yet? I was thinking about MiWi but rock app last time screwed up my iPhone pretty badly. Is there a way to obtain this through cydia?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm still on 3G on 3.1.2 with BenM.at AT&T profile, so i can tether. My question is would it be possible to upgrade/unlock to iPhone 4.0 and then able to tether without having to pay extra to AT&T by installing old fashion way? (3.0 to 3.1.3).
i don't tether often, but it comes in handy every now and then like when you go on a vacation, etc. i also noticed with 4.0, the T-mobile users are using cydia to get MMS/Tethering work for them. any chance that will work will AT&T too? and YES i know about MyWi, but im trying to avoid the $20 fee =/ and I've also read that you can download the MyWi and deleting trick, but that would require you to download MyWi again every now and then i believe.
Cirdan on the Dev-Team's irc channel has developed instructions for enabling tethering in iOS 4.0.x without any commcenter patch. It requires editing some files manually, but it works perfectly on my 3GS. I've simplified and clarified them.
Notes:These instructions assume you are on AT&T. They would need to be modified for other carriers. In particular, you would need to use a mobileconfig file for your carrier, and take the type-mask values from that mobileconfig file rather than using the ones I give here. As always, back up all files before editing them. We're still trying to figure out if this can be made to work on the iPhone 4.
1) Install Ultrasn0w 1.0-1.
2) On your computer (NOT your iPhone) download the Peaceful Insanity tethering mobileconfig.
3) Email the file Tether.mobileconfig you downloaded in step two to yourself.
4) On your phone:Install this tethering profile from Mail. (Please note: MobileSafari will no longer allow you to install a mobileconfig file. It must be done from Mail.)
5) On your phone, in the file /private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/com.apple.MobileInternetSharing.plist, locate the following text:
Code:
<key>State</key>
<integer>1020</integer>
and change it to read:
Code:
<key>State</key>
<integer>1023</integer>
6) In the file /private/var/Managed Preferences/mobile/com.apple.managedCarrier.plist, locate the following text:
Code:
<key>apn></key>
<string>wap.cingular</string>
and add the following text immediately after it:
Code:
<key>type-mask</key>
<integer>53</integer>
7) In that same file, locate the following text:
Code:
<key>apn</key>
<string>acds.voicemail</string>
and add the following text immediately after it:
Code:
<key>type-mask</key>
<integer>2</integer>
8) In the file /private/var/preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist, locate the following text (be careful!):
Code:
<dict>
<key>AllowNoDNS</key>
<integer>1</integer>
<key>apn</key>
<string>wap.cingular</string>
and add the following text immediately after it:
Code:
<key>type-mask</key>
<integer>53</integer>
9) Reboot your phone and tethering will be on!
Its still over 2 weeks before the iPad Launches and we already have a solution Very Simple really here is what you need.
1. First you will need a jailbroken iPhone, check jailbreakmatrix.com on howto jailbreak your device
2. You will need to install the Rock Installer when you jailbreak
3. Second head over to Rock Your Phone and sign up for a free account
4. Install MyWi with Rock and start it up
Here you create your Wifi Name, Password and Encryption and then goto your iPad and join the Wifi Connection, No jailbreak no software no nothing required on the iPad
We are located in Canada and know that the iPad 3G is coming with micro Sims which you can't get here yet so don't waste that 6gb data plan you have, and lets put it to use. This way you can also grab it on April 3rd when it launches and don't have to wait for the iPad data plans to be released from the carriers?
When I got my phone all the tethering stuff was in place as normal.. I tried it out on my mac and it worked great.. Then my phone crashed, got it running good to go now.. So the other night I needed internet, go into settings, turn ON tethering.. Open macbook, wait, nothing.. go back into settings on my iPhone and there is no longer anything left even related to tethering.. GONE!
So where did it go and how can I get it back is what I am wondering? 3.1.2j, telus network Canada, originally at&t.
Also, is there a way to force a carrier update? When I got one the first time it didnt show me the cellular data network settings, after the reset of the phone thats there and I had to enter in the information all manually for MMS, internet, etc.friggin problems.. nothing ever wants to work right.
I know this sounds strange but i travel alot and recently hotels sell Internet PER device, so when i get internet on my laptop i cant get it on iPhone or i have to pay for 2nd device, I was thinking is it POSSIBLE to get the internet on my iPhone and tether it with my laptop? this way when i am in my room i can use my laptop and when i am in lobby or at meetings my phone got the internet.
View 15 Replies View RelatedSorry if this has been posted. I understand that in order to tether, you are supposed to get a tethering plan-as it is with other phones. However, will the tethering option on the phone not be enabled unless I pay for a plan? ie: will I see the option to tether in settings or will I have to enroll in a plan to have AT&T push a new carrier file to me?
