Nokia E 71x And A Mac i-book, how do I tether them for internet?
I know how to tether them silly, with usb, it’s the connecting to the internet I’m having problems with.
The reason is here. The reason is also I ‘ve had the black screen 2 times and weird things are highligted on this page. I know the demons that posess this laptop are getting stronger.
Seriously the mac is an i book, has os X on it. This will be gibberish for anyone who hasn’t tried something like this. I got to the part where it used the phone to dial up the internet, it connect, tries to authorize, disconnnects.
I did call at&t with this. The guy told me to use the isp name .com somewhere. I haven’t tried since then. (I know how to network on a mac but haven’t had nearly the experience on one that I have a windows box. On windows you use a program from at&t to connect to the internet) He admitted it could be done. At&t doesn’t offer support for mac. I asked him if I figured it out should I call back so they could tell other people how to do it. He said At&t doesn’t support this phone with mac and will not since the phone is a whole 6 MONTHS old and I’m sure is like obsolete.
I belong to a couple geek boards but didn’t find anything there and decided I might find out something by asking here, nicely. I really am curious, I’m so close and yet so far.
Sorry for the complete seriousness of this post, we’ve had like 5 blackouts, it changed to another page, make that 6 blackouts……tried to publish this half way though.
Even though the first computer I ever used was a Mac SE I haven’t used one in years. AT&T is pretty much useless which is why I went to Sprint. I would contact Apple and see if they can help.
Don’t you just love it when we buy a brand new phone and it’s obsolete the second we step out the door. Good luck, I’ll stick with the PC. At least with those I’m my own customer service.

But the mac is SO pretty Judy. Apples customer service is…….well it’s not impossible but.
Seriously I wouldn’t do windows @ all if I didn’t have old files on here I have to use, I’m a linux kind of person, haven’t used it for awhile but I’m all for open software etc. Thus the mac, a compromise between me having to help people who use my computer do everything and windows. Although @ one time my supposedly non computer type husband could play games and send email in linux.
Our house has always been an Apple computer house since the first Apple 2E, many many moons ago. Yes, they cost more than your average PC but if you loaded the same programs on your PC the cost would be the exact same, just wouldn’t perform as well. My wife is the Design Director of a very large international publisher and she needs the computing power to make major editing changes (restoring etc.) to photos and streaming entire manuscripts using Adobe CS4. I compose and record music which gets sampled 44,100 times per second which needs the power I can get from my MacBook Pro. We LOVE our computers… you made a good purchase decision. For help contact Apple support. They’ve been good to us.
Thanks for stopping by Mark, the i book was the last one I bought. I LOVE mac.
I haven’t tried hooking it up to the internet again.
I can’t believe the difference in screen quality, and we watched a movie on it last night, haven’t bought the new tv yet, but you just pop the movie in and voila, it’s on.
I’ve had windows boxes REFUSE to play a dvd, had to download something else……I’ve got a tablet that records cd’s so that my other computers cant read them sometimes.
And I really think Microsoft is a monopoly.
I’m covering my head with hands because Bill Gates donates so much money to charity.
