So i uninstalled and reinstalled the tether app. it is in the applications folder. I downloaded the airport utility as mentioned and when i copied and pasted the coding, hit compile, and run, it shows this error.


I have no idea how to read this stuff yet. Any help?


error "sh: line 2: cd: /Users/preachingalways/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~ScriptEditor2/Documents/Tether.app/Contents/MacOS: No such file or directory

sh: line 3: ./Tether: No such file or directory" number 127

Thanks, this almost has it working for me! I followed all your instructions, and now instead of Tether crashing on launch, it opens normally, and waits for the Adhoc client to connect. I can see the Tether network on my iPhone 5S, and choose it; but when I sign in to Tether, it's unable to connect to the local machine (although it connects to Tether.com fine).


I checked the settings on the Tether network on the phone; it's obtained an ip address just fine, and I can ping that address from Terminal and get a 100% response. I've tried Tether Support's suggestion of getting the phone to forget the network, then set it up again... no love.


I'm running out of ideas... anyone have any thoughts? It's frustrating to be so close, and not quite there.


And of course, this northeastern snowstorm has knocked out my satellite internet, so I was counting on Tether to get me through!

I have the same issue as John.


Running Tether 2.1.0.3 on my MacBookPro (Late 2012 model) using the Tether Launcher.app as instructed and it no longer crashes. While it's running, I visit Tether.com (in Safari) and Server Status shows "Connected to Tether proxy" However, Computer Status shows "Attempting to establish a connection to your computer..." and then fails to connect.


MacBookPro's WiFi connectivity does show: tether.com:GregMacPro as my wifi network.


I'm perplexed. Any ideas anyone?
