Unable to get my iPhone 6+'s personal hotspot (USB) to work in my new, updated 64-bit W10 Pro PC.

[Ant]

Hello.

I'm having problems getting my ten days old, updated 64-bit W10 Pro PC to connect to my old iPhone 6+ (iOS v12.5.3)'s personal hotspot with Verizon Wireless and USB cable. W10 doesn't see my iPhone at all for network and Internet. I have no problems with my 12 years old, updated 64-bit W7 HPE SP1 PC though.

I looked around in my 64-bit W10 and noticed its device manager show Other devices -> iPhone. I tried to update driver, but Windows couldn't find any. I thought iTunes v12.11.3.17 (already tried repairing it to reinstall) provided them already. My 64-bit W10 Pro can see iPhone's internal storage for images and videos (DCIM). iTunes can see it too for sync, back ups, etc. Why no network connection for hotspot? My desktop PCs don't have wifi so they have to use USB. Am I missing something? :(

Thank you for reading and hopefully answering soon. :)

This article is sadly lacking on details.

https://www.lifewire.com/set-up-usb-tethering-windows-10-4584419

According to this...

https://support.apple.com/en-ca/HT204095

"%ProgramFiles%\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers

Right-click on the usbaapl64.inf or usbaapl.inf file
and choose Install."

Normally, the iTunes file consists of a "set" of installer files.
Hoary things like Bonjour (instead of SSDP or Avahi or other nameservers).
At one time, we might have been concerned about getting
an MTP driver of some sort (a problem at the Windows end).

You can see in this discussion...

https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-10691

Apple Mobile Device USB Driver <=== not sure whether this is a "USB NIC" or what
MTP USB Device <=== this is a storage driver

It depends on what the USB Composite device shows
at its end, as to what drivers will try to bind.

Obviously, if the iPhone is not put in the HotSpot
mode first, then the first of those two items isn't
going to appear.

You can use USB Tree view, to observe the Apple phone
config-space information. Download is toward bottom of
page. You can't "force" a situation, unless a device
"chooses" to present PNP (Plug and Play) information
of the correct type. On static hardware, the config space
information is static (duh). On other device types, the
device is free to emulate anything it wants. Like take
OTG (On The Go) devices, where they can either be
a Host or a Peripheral, and the role can be negotiated
at runtime.

https://www.uwe-sieber.de/usbtreeview_e.html

The usbaapl64.inf is going to give some hint as to what
the device pretends to be. Some drivers, they have the
equivalent of "#include" to include a platform driver
to finish the job. So while we have the just-dandy Apple
branding in Device Manager, the .sys or .dll or whatever
files, they might just be a USB NIC class driver. Intel
does this stuff too - pretends to install USB3 drivers,
when inside the INF is a #include MicrosoftStuff and that
is the "meaty bit" of the driver package. Intel just
provides a text string for branding/labeling. Much of the
Intel system devices, are just text strings... :-)

It turns out, the usbaapl file that gets installed, is
around 6MB, which is huge by driver standards.

On the Linux side, libimobiledevice and usbmuxd provide
some of the same services. But the Ethernet portion, it is
claimed in the usbmuxd github entry, is a virtual network
adapter which is separate from the rest of usbmuxd.

There is something called IPhoneEthernet, for handling packets
over USB. The usage of the term Ethernet, implies something
about what is in the packets (packet format).

https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/drivers/net/usb/ipheth.c

#define USB_VENDOR_APPLE 0x05ac

#define IPHETH_USBINTF_CLASS 255 \
#define IPHETH_USBINTF_SUBCLASS 253 \___ Probably up the custom end of the Class numbering
#define IPHETH_USBINTF_PROTO 1 /

#define IPHETH_BUF_SIZE 1514

Anyway, this isn't particularly important when installing
the driver, just a partial explanation for "why the luggage
is so big". The lady has a lot of clothes to wear. And the
connection of the virtual Ethernet is not without ceremony,
it doesn't connect to "just anything". There's a pairing
ceremony of some sort first.

I only checked this, to see if Apple used a standard Class driver
numbering for their network path or not. And it does not
appear to be the case. It means "you have to carry the
steamer trunk, if taking a day trip". This might also
have implications if you were tethering the iPhone to
generic tethering routers (CradlePoint?).

[And I've read Paul's reply.]

Pragmatically - unless you sort it soon - I'd say the simplest solution
would be to _give_ your desktop machines wifi. If you're trying to use
them with the iPhone close enough to connect a USB cable anyway, then
the cheapest grottiest wifi adapter - one of the sort that just looks
like a blanking plug [like you get with wireless mice] and costs a
couple of bucks online - should still find it. [Though I personally
would always go for the one with a screwable aerial connection - might
be a whole extra half buck.]

[I'm assuming an iPhone being a hotspot is the same as my old Android
4.3 'phone being a hotspot, i. e. as far as the PC is concerned, it's
just another wifi network, and you can set up SSID, keys, access
control, etc. at the 'phone end. Wouldn't surprise me of course if Apple
have their own way.]

It might be slightly more secure. Using the USB path.

If wires are available, I prefer wires :-)

why? apple is fully standards compliant.

And possibly faster, too.

Agreed. But I've reached the stage [age?] where - especially where it
involves something like connections, which always seem to be complicated
- see your two long and complicated [though I'm sure very correct and
educational] emails - that I give up sooner than I used to. Especially
in a case like this where someone might have a wifi dongle about the
house anyway [maybe a redundant single-band one, which should do the job
here].

an iphone 6+ supports usb 2 and 802.11ac.

wifi will be significantly faster.

I have a 64 bit Windows 10 Pro system and an iPhone 6s Plus (14.4.2) on
Verizon (RedPocket). I tried the personal hotspot over Wi-Fi and it
works fine (I had to have RedPocket activate the hotspot, until they did
that when I turned on hotspot the phone told me to contact Verizon).

With a USB cable it required iTunes. I installed the latest version. I
had deleted iTunes on my Windows machines because I hate iTunes! Once
iTunes was installed I got a message about the connected device. Then
the hotspot name showed up in my list of networks and I was able to
connect via USB. Same version of iTunes you're using.

But you have the older 6 Plus, not the 6s Plus, with an older iOS
version. Must be something Windows 10 Pro doesn't like about the older
iPhone, or, more likely, some other weirdness.

It's really annoying that in order to use the wired hotspot on an iPhone
you have to install iTunes.

One suggestion that I saw was to uninstall the iPhone driver from
Windows and reinstall it. I didn't have to try that.

Of course you could always just buy a cheap USB Wi-Fi adapter if nothing
else proves successful.

BTW, I just tried wired USB hotspot on my Android phone from a Windows
10 Pro laptop. What a difference! Just turn on USB tethering with none
of the rigamarole of dealing with iTunes.

While I use both iOS and Android devices, one of the major advantages of
Android, when it comes to doing what should be simple things, it just
works. "Android, It Just Works" could be an advertising slogan that
Google should use.

[nospam]

In article <s9oifc$tt5$1...@dont-email.me>, sms

using a hotspot on ios does not need to turn anything on. it really
does 'just work', and entirely without itunes.

as usual, you're doing things incorrectly and blaming apple for your
own ineptness.

OK, this is is even weirder. There is no Drivers sub(directory/folder)
in my C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\ and
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\. I
search usbaapl64.inf in my new SSD. Nothing! :(

True. I try to minimize dongles and adapters but in this case it might
be $3-5 well spent. You don't need a USB 3.0 Wi-Fi adapter or a Wi-Fi
adapter that supports the latest Wi-Fi standards, just a $3 el-cheapo
2.4GHz 150Mb/s 802.11 b/g/n adapter. But probably it makes sense to
spend $2 more and get a 600Mb/s 2.4GHz/5.8 GHz 802.11 b/g/n/ac adapter,
in case you upgrade your iPhone in the future

join the phone's wifi network. the phone can remain in your pocket the
entire time.

this does assume your cellular carrier supports hotspots. if not,
that's the problem.

a $3-5 wifi adapter is junk. it's also not needed.

only if you want unreliable and slow connections.

his iphone supports 802.11ac (aka wifi 5), but $5 is still junk and not
needed anyway.

It works in the other older PC with 64-bit W7 HPE SP1.

OK, this is interesting. I tried a new, updated 64-bit W10 Home
VirtualBox guest VM on the same host updated 64-bit W10 Pro PC. That had
no problems!! So, it's something on the host! Now, I need to figure out
why my host PC's OS won't connect! I should try uninstalling, rebooting,
reinstalling, etc. :(

My 64-bit W10 Pro can see iPhone's internal storage for images and videos (DCIM). iTunes can see it too for sync, back ups, etc. Why no network connection for hotspot? My desktop PCs don't have wifi so they have to use USB. Am I missing something? :(

nospam is wrong of course™.

As you and I stated, iTunes is required for a wired hotspot. This
surprised me. I only tried the wired hotspot to see if I could duplicate
your issue since the 6s is pretty similar to the 6 and we both are
running Windows 10 Pro. Once I installed iTunes wired hotspot worked fine.

it is not, and there is no reason to use a wired hotspot. wifi is not
only much easier to use, but also much faster and more reliable.

I have had some success resolving strange USB issues by going into
Device Manager, uninstalling USB hubs and then letting Windows
rediscover them and add them back.

Besides the fact that you don't have a Wi-Fi connection on your desktop,
there are other reasons why it's sometimes better to tether the hotspot
via USB instead of Wi-Fi.

[Ant]

So I uninstalled iTunes, Apple Mobile Device Support, Apple Software
Update, and Bonjour. Then, I rebooted even though it didn't ask me to.
And then, I reinstalled iTunes
(https://secure-appldnld.apple.com/itunes12/001-97787-20210421-F0E5A3C2-A2C9-11EB-A40B-A128318AD179/iTunes64Setup.exe
from https://www.apple.com/itunes/download/win64) and rebooted. I
retried, but same results. What the heck? :(

[Ant]

Also, %ProgramFiles%\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\ doesn't
have drivers too in this VM like my host. Where is Apple putting the
drivers?!

So, I uninstalled Device Manager's USB Controller's USB Root Hub (USB
3.0) and scanned for hardware changes. It came back. So, I retried my
iPhone again.

Also, I tried another iPhone 6+ and iPad air (both iOS v12.5.3) with
their cellular personal hotspot (same carrier). Same result. Something
is funky in my PC with no drivers to use it! Argh.

[Paul]

The OP already stated that he is Wifi-poor (like I am)
and does not have enough Wifi equipment for partying.
He's using the materials he's got, a USB cable.

Just for chuckles, are you using a USB3 port on the PC (XHCI)
or a USB2 port ?

I don't really think it matters, as far as getting the
Apple driver to work, but I'd try another port all the same
and see if the automatic installation sequence has better luck
with the other port.

And your Apple device should be in the USB section of Device Manager,
and the Properties should show the driver is USBAAPL or whatever.

For serious problems, you delete ENUM from one of the ControlSets.
I've done that for fun once, and Windows 10 seemed to survive. But it
has so much redundant materials, it's pretty hard to tell whether
it was really "injured" by my efforts :-) What that does, is start
hardware discovery all over again.

Normally, Device Manager would have some yellow marks, if
something wasn't quite right about the drivers.

Do a text search on the Windows INF folder, and a file like "OEM23.inf"
may contain the string "USBAAPL". In other words, when a driver
is installed, the INF file is renamed to hide its identify.
This is to avoid filename collisions. Since the OS uses counting
numbers OEM24 OEM25, as drivers are added, they don't conflict.
What a person does then, is the original filename is normally
placed as a string inside the file, at the top. If you do a
content text search on the INF folder, you can figure out which file
is the Apple driver file. And that also hints that it got installed.

The OS has a drivercache, but I can't honestly say I remember seeing
an organised structure with the driver materials in it. You can look
for USBAAPL materials, but it may not be stored (for driver purposes)
as the MSI. The MSI is kept so Programs and Features can remove
an installation later. The driver is unpacked as a folder with an
INF inside it.

WinXP had setupapi.log, and it had a date stamp and
a record of what was done. Compared to how things work
now, that was excellent. We have to do a lot more shoveling
in the year 2021, to find decent records like that.

Some of the auxiliary networking is done with TAP and TUN.
(When rank amateurs write that kind of software, it generally
turns into a disaster. Whereas things of VirtualBox quality,
it generally stays upright.)

Maybe your main OS uses 192.168.x.x addresses for IPV4.

VirtualBox defines some other blocks. and it depends on
what you selected (NAT or Bridged) as to what might happen.
There might have been a private (internal) network for
setting up multiple VMs talking to one another.

You can try the Networking control panel and see what "Adapters"
show up. It's beyond my payscale to say much more than that.
I've messed about with Virtualbox networking only a bit
(I tried to segregate a couple machines for test), but
I can't really be sure I was doing it right.

A general comment, is at least for the little I've tried,
VirtualBox seemed to work pretty well.

Windows 7 can draw a network map. Later OSes you kinda
have to fudge it, to get the same information. That's
why the article has the word "compensate" in it.

https://www.techrepublic.com/blog/windows-and-office/compensate-for-the-missing-network-map-feature-in-windows-8/

The only reason for wanting to look at maps, is to see
if a "summary of the situation" would be enlightening.
Obviously, if the Virtualbox session works, it must
have been "pretty lucky" when picking an IP address.
My guess is, if the virtual machine is Windows, you
can do ipconfig and collect the IPV4 address. And see if
by some accident, it's the same subnet as the "Apple LAN".

Surely the MSI for the Apple Mobile Devices got installed.

The last iTunes I downloaded here, was 12.10.7.3 from about a year ago.

210,642,248 bytes iTunesSetup.exe

If I look inside the EXE with 7ZIP

AppleApplicationSupport.msi
AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi <=== The driver files are in here
AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi
Bonjour.msi
iTunes.msi
SetupAdmin.exe

I don't know how that looks in Programs and Features these days,
but you could take a look, and see if some of those got installed.

There are some advantages to using a cable, depending on several factors.

Speeds are faster when you tether via USB than to use Wi-Fi
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WfZy97-EcwU> but the reality is that
unless you're on 5G mmWave USB or Wi-Fi is not going to be the bottleneck.

Since you're probably charging your phone while using Wi-Fi for the
hotspot anyway you may as well just plug into the computer and tether
via USB.

The tethered USB connection is also more reliable than a Wi-Fi
connection since the Wi-Fi network likely has a plethora of devices
using the bandwidth.

The tethered USB connection is also more secure than a Wi-Fi connection.

The downside of tethering to a Windows PC with a cable, for the iPhone,
is that it requires that you install iTunes. nospam is wrong of course™
when he says that iTunes is not necessary for wired tethering, see
<https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204023> where it states: "USB
Make sure that you have the latest version of iTunes on your Mac or PC.
Then connect your iPhone or iPad to your computer with the USB cable
that came with your device. If you see an alert that says tap "Trust
This Computer?" tap Trust."

false.

the op's phone supports 802.11ac, which is much, much faster than using
usb. it's not even close.

that's not an issue unless someone is tethering for an extended period
of time (many hours), in which case, they can connect the phone to a
mains outlet, ideally near a window for optimal cellular reception
rather than on a desk next to the computer.

false. only one device will be using the hotspot's wifi connection.

use a good passphrase and it's just as secure.

false. although there is no reason not to install itunes, as it adds
*substantial* functionality.

apple's support pages will obviously say it's required. they're not
going to support or even mention third party solutions.

Yes, I didn't realize that the iPhone's Lighting port, even the iPhone
12, supports only USB 2.0; that's the reason that wireless is faster
than wired for the iPhone.

Most new Android phones support USB 3.0 which has speeds up to 5 Gb/s,
and USB 3.2 goes up to 20Gb/s. The iPhone only runs at USB 2.0 speeds,
up to 480 Mb/s. The iPhone 12 has a maximum Wi-Fi speed of 1.2Gb/s which
is sufficient for 4G LTE and low-band 5G hotspots, but not for mmWave 5G.

So it is true, that for the iPhone, Wi-Fi tethering can be faster than
tethering (depending on how many devices are connected to the Wi-Fi
hotspot). Hopefully the iPhone 13 will support USB 3.0.

under no circumstances does *any* phone get 5gb/s over its usb port and
certainly not 20gb/s.

*very* few computers have 10g-e (at least currently). how exactly do
you propose the connection to the phone will be faster than what the
computer can support?

that depends on which iphone.

the op's phone is a nearly 7 year old iphone 6, which is limited to usb
hi-speed.

you're incorrectly assuming everything runs at its maximum speed and
that mmw 5g is always available. both are false.

*is* faster.

wired tethering is limited to only one device (yet another drawback),
therefore you don't get to add extra devices to wifi to intentionally
slow it down to fit your narrative.

ios devices have supported usb 3 for years. the ipad pro in 2015 was

Maybe try manually installing the driver as described here:
<https://bartsimons.me/getting-iphone-usb-tethering-on-windows-without-itunes/>

I may try uninstalling iTunes and then installing only the driver from
iTunes. I never use iTunes anyway. When I extract the iTunes files I see
"AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi" but not the
"AppleMobileDeviceSupport6464" file that the article refers to, but I
suspect that they're the same thing.

According to W10's uninstall list, I see Apple Mobile Device Support, Apple Software
Update, Bonjour, and iTunes.

THis shows how a wealth of networking devices appear in the
networking control panel. Executing "control.exe" or "control"
causes the control panel icon to appear on the Taskbar. Right-clicking
it and selecting "Pin..." makes it a resident of the Taskbar.

That person doesn't have VirtualBox.

This is mine, a person without a Tether capability, but with a
regular Ethernet connection to a router plus I'm running
VirtualBox, as well as using a version of Windows 10 (21H1) that
has dragged in HyperV capability. On such a setup, only VirtualBox 6
is allowed on the computer, as VirtualBox 6 runs as a HyperV "Client".

It's quite possible, before the vEthernet was added
this year in Windows 10, that your Tether would have worked.
But who can say.

At the very least, Device Manager should have a USB device for
the Apple Tether, with the USBAAPL driver listed in its properties.

Yep, that's under "Other Devices" for iPhone as shown in my https://i.imgur.com/OVV2Snu.jpg. :( It goes away when I turn off personal hotspot. Also, this happens with other iDevices like the old iPad air and newer iPhone 11 Pro Max (iOS v14.6).

I see AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi, but not AppleMobileDeviceSupport6464 in mine.
Running AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi asked me to repair or remove. So, it was
installed.

With 7Zip, I viewed and extracted this MSI file since I saw its three usbaapl64* files
(.cat, .inf, and .sys). I tried right clicking on its usbaapl64.inf to install. It said
successful. I retested and still got the same dang results. :(

So I tried installing this driver from C:\Users\ant\Desktop\AppleMobileDeviceSupport64\
through W10's Device Manager with "Other devices" for iPhone with its yellow triangle
"!" symbol and saw "Update Drivers - Apple Mobile Device Ethernet - Windows has
successfully updated your drivers -- Windows has finished installing the drivers for
this device: Apple Mobile Device Ethernet". Now, I see the problematic iPhone go away
and now showing up under "Network adapters" (https://i.imgur.com/bTA1GkH.gif). I
tested, and it finally worked!

OK, why didn't it automatically work when I installed with iTunes in this new PC? What
happened? :(

I looked in my %temp% and found SetupAdmin210C.log (21 KB
http://zimage.com/~ant/temp/64iTunes12.11.3.17SetupAdmin210CinW10pro.7z). It mentioned
usbaapl64. I don't know if those technical details are good or bad.

All that's left then, is checking Device Manager
and seeing whether

1) Yellow marks are gone
2) Properties on Apple device, Driver tab shows the
driver items expected (USBAAPL) are installed.

Then, after that, check Network panel for network items
and whether the addressing makes sense (ipconfig).

[Paul]

I suspect you connected the iPhone *before* iTunes was installed.

Some driver providers, they warn you in a README, which goes first.
Plug in, then install. Or install, then Plug In. Both cases exist.

Notionally, this is what you want to delete, then
the OS re-discovers the hardware on the next reboot.

hklm\system\currentcontrolset\enum

The problem is, if you do it while the OS is running,
it's likely permissions will prevent such a move. Might
be owned by SYSTEM, might be owned by TrustedInstaller.

If, however, you use an offline tool, you can do it from
there. But when the OS is not running, there isn't
a currentcontrolset present. There is something like
ControtSet001. The OS likely copies that and
makes it the CurrentControlSet at boot. The number of
ControlSet is variable, but at a guess, ControtSet001
has to be there. If ControlSet001 were corrupted,
ControlSet002 could be used. They may also be part of
some sort of "rollback logic support", as drivers can
be rolled back to the previous one (one-level-deep undo).

https://i.postimg.cc/kXRSvZ5K/fun-with-regedit.gif

Anyway, the usual thing, make a backup before you begin.
The Registry are basically files. The files are backed
up if you have System Protection enabled and manually
create a Restore Point before the edit attempt. You can
"revive" an OS, by:

1) Copying the "empty set" of registry files already
on C:
2) Then, use the Restore Point you made, to restore
the registry to the previous state.

I'm a bit more paranoid than that, and just back up
C: (as long as it's only going to take ten minutes).

The Kaspersky Registry Editor makes editing the system
hives easy. Your personal registry file, that may take
more work to find and edit. But this is a system level
edit we're trying to do, so the editor should work.

At one time, the Kaspersky Registry Editor was claimed
to be FOSS, but I've been unable to find it as a standalone
package. (If it was a .deb, you could remaster Ubuntu
and put it in there.)

Nope since I already knew W10 wouldn't know anything about iPhones. It's
not like macOS where it already knows.

Always back up! I used Macrium Reflect a couple days ago and dang it was
fast in W10. I haven't tried it with a bootable media yet.

I'm kinda surprised it didn't leave a copy of the materials
in a folder somewhere.

The .log, with regard to "usbaapl", makes mention of a "No-Op"
operation, so somehow it decided there was "nothing to do",
and perhaps at that point, the damage was done. And that's where
erasing ENUM comes in - it would remove the detections and force
detection of hardware from scratch.

I tested removal of ENUM here on my production install, just
to make sure it works. And I was surprised to see that it did :-)
But that's why we do these tests.

Was this an install of Windows 10 over Windows 7, or a clean
install of Windows 10 to a new hard drive ? Maybe we could
blame the OS installer migration logic, for somehow
messing up the Apple materials, if it was 10 over 7. If
it failed on a clean Windows 10, then a different interpretation
results.

That's what you get for not using a Mac.

It was just the combination of Windows weirdness and Apple's requirement
that iTunes be involved in USB tethering for a wired hotspot.

Using Mayayanas MSI unpacker, there is a folder of
"Common Files", plus a .cab is unpacked. Maybe that's
where the drivers were stored ?

These things work out of the box. The OP's iPhone is certainly the first
one to serve as hotspot whether it may be USB or a wireless connection.

Yet in trying to help Ant, and Googling the problem he was having, there
were many other people having the exact same issue with wired iPhone
hotspot tethering to a Windows PC. Since I have both Android and iOS
devices I tried wired hotspot tethering on both. With the iPhone I had
to install iTunes for wired tethering to work, which is rather absurd
(though later I saw a workaround where you manually extract the files in
the iTunes install file and just install a driver). With Android you
just plug it in and it works.

While you can legitimately blame Microsoft for the problem Ant was
experiencing, part of the blame can also be ascribed to Apple's
insistence that iTunes be installed on the Windows PC in order to do
hotspot tethering.

This thread highlights a key difference between Android and iOS. With
Android, you don’t have to go through contortions to accomplish what
should be trivial tasks. Another recent thread here was about GPS
location spoofing. With iOS you can do it, but you need to connect the
iPhone to a Windows PC or Mac.

I do like certain aspects of the iOS ecosystem, especially my awesome
Apple Watch 6, and Air Drop. But last week, on vacation, three days in,
my Apple Watch decided to change its passcode. I didn't have my iPhone
with me so I could not do a system reset, so for five days I was hearing
"Enter Passcode." Also, without the iPhone the Apple Watch won't change
the time when you change time zones. The Apple Watch battery life is
poor, if I'm active, like I was last week using multiple features while
hiking, it can barely last one whole day. My old Samsung Gear 2 watch
could go 3-5 days between charging.

Uninstalling and reinstalling software on Windows *never* works.

And the reason it never works, is Windows installation procedures
never had a "cleanup" option, where they remove erroneous starting
materials.

You investigate these things, to learn from them,
develop workarounds, so you'll be ready for them the next time.

The results of this thread, are a predictor of future success.

Remember that Ant started with a clean install on a brand new computer.
We can only blame Microsoft for the "playing surface". And the
Apple installer, after that.

Some part of the Apple software installation procedure, did not
work properly, as the expected materials (as predicted by an
MSI unpacker), did not appear. Normally this would result
in an error dialog on the screen, so the user would be aware
something was amiss. The yellow mark and the Error 28, is the
side-effect hint that something isn't right (downstream failure
feedback), but the MSI normally has other, more direct codes
it can deliver. And that's what should have happened.

it's not in any way a problem. itunes adds *significant* functionality
that android will never have.

intentionally avoiding itunes because of some imaginary hatred will
result in crippled functionality, which is entirely on *you*, not
apple.

there are *no* contortions needed. connect iphone and tether, although
wifi tethering is a much better choice.

you're intentionally making things more difficult than they need to be
and blaming others.

no it didn't. you are so full of shit.

the apple watch doesn't randomly change its own passcode and lock out
the user.

nor does any other device, for that matter.

false.

the bigger question is why did you go on vacation without your phone?

bullshit.

the apple watch normally lasts 1-2 days on a single charge unless
someone is doing many hours of workouts.

because it does much less. no surprise there.
