yes, but this is a one time thing. And you can find the patched carrier update online. Just option+update and reboot. After that it's just a matter of plugging the phone to the mac. I used pdanet, and this is a far better solution. Fluid and intuitive. That's the way I like my Apple

Hi all, thanks for the instructions. I got the tethering screen to come up fine, but after pairing with my macbook pro, I can't connect to the PAN connection. A USB option doesn't come up at all. I'm using AT&T and have the 3.0 SDK installed. Am I missing something?

I havent had any luck with PAN on my MBP - USB was no problem though, in Network connections just swapping the DHCP to something else then back to DHCP and hitting apply seemed to work sweet? Do you have the "Ethernet Adaptor (en5)" available?

and iphone os 3.0 should be available june/july to coincide with the release of the suposed new iphone

They won;t have elsewhere to look for another 3 years...
Hopefully this means free tethering with ATT, but I doubt it :/

Xcode is one of the tools you use. There is a whole section of documentation and training which is very well done for even a person who has never coded any apps for Mac Platform. Lots of tutorials. XCode is just one of the tools, there are several, dashcode, iPhone Simulator, iPhone Organizer, Quartz... plus much more, and its free to dl.

For T-Mobile Germany things are a bit more complicated because they do not appear in the list. Here is a howto: FutureTap » iPhone Tethering with T-Mobile Germany

I called them and they added the MMS to my plan and it still didn't work. Got transferred to there tech support and they said they dont give support for 3.0 so mine still dont work.

Free? No cellular company (to my knowledge) has ever offered a tethering package for free. It is the most bandwidth intensive thing you can possibly do with your cell phone. More users requiring more bandwidth equals more T1s/DS1s at each cell site, which won't come free to AT&T or you.

No, I want it to connect to the internet when I use the useb connection. My wifi does not connect. I always get "unable to join network ". So it's either 3G which costs, or free wifi I can't get...

**confucious** · 03-22-2009, 03:46 PM

Why not just sort out your WiFi - it's a lot easier than using a wired connection!

**varsityanchor** · 03-22-2009, 09:04 PM

I have an iMac running 10.5.6

I navigated to Mac HD/users/me/Library/iTunes/iPhone Carrier Support

The folder is empty and i have no idea where to go from here anyone with any helpful advice would be a great help.

Thanks

I want to believe you..really do

**confucious** · 03-23-2009, 11:56 AM

What security do you have on your WiFi at home and what FW on your iPhone?

**poullos** · 03-24-2009, 06:37 AM

WAP on one router and WEP on the other.
Firmware 2.2 yellowsn0ed

This happens with EVERY network. The message is the same:
"Unable to join network "

Apple/iphone/networking forum is full of threads with this problem...
