iPhone 3.0 – Update Tethering with AT&T on Mac OS X

Posted by Chris on Jun 22, 2009 in Technology | 0 comments

After my first article about how to hack your carrier file to enable MMS and Tethering on unjailbroken AT&T phones, I discovered that I couldn’t tether with my hackintosh. Why? Well the problem seemed easy enough to fix, I had removed iTunes since my phone is synced with my Dell XPS, and had no need for it on my small 16gb hackintosh ssd. So I just simply reinstalled the latest version of itunes, and bam my phone showed up as an ethernet device, allowing me to tether from my phone to my computer over USB (I haven’t tested Bluetooth yet, as I don’t have bluetooth on my computer). The tethering worked perfectly. I am curious now as to why so many other people have had trouble tethering with a mac, most people said the solution was to install the iPhone 3.0 SDK which I also removed to save space.

After many, many attempts to get retail OS X and iso OS X installed on my new dell mini 9 I have finally suceeded and am writing my blog entry from the mini 9 on a beautiful OS X 10.5.7.

Why OS X on Mini 9?

Well this seems like a simple enough question to ask, I enjoy technology and have always wanted a mac, which if you have ever looked will break most peoples bank! That being said, I also own an iPhone and have been dying to make my own apps for it. The problem? You can only develop apps on a Mac computer. Solution? Cheap netbook running Mac OS X. So I am working on some apps for the iPhone, and if I decide they are app store worthy I may sign up for the developer program.  Read more here...
