Iphone tethering under OS X Mavericks

I am unable to tether my iphone to my macbook under OSX Mavericks. I use Tether. Has anyone found a solution for this yet?

I have organized it.

Please download from http://goo.gl/4F1DW2

Then unzip it and run the launcher. Do not change any of the files. The launcher has all of the necessary files including Tether.app.

Further in the Applictions folder, right click (ctrl click) the tether icon and select "get info". In that screen check the box that says "prevent app nap". Do the same for the launcher.

I did this and it did not work for me as I have reported on the Tether support site. A few years ago there was a similar problem and we were instructed to remove all of the old Tether files before installing the new app. Perhaps we need to do that again? And where are those files located that we need to remove? I did remove a few that I could find but I know there are more. I am using Yosemite on a late 2013 Mac Pro and have been a Tether user almost since the beginning and this stuff frustrates me totally as I need this app for my work.

Thanks all for this helpful discussion.

I have downloaded the Tether Launcher.app folder and I put it in my Applications folder.

When I double click the Tether Launcher it opens and it launches Tether v 2.1.0.3 but it displays an error "Incorrect Driver Found. Please update Tether"

Have any of you seen this error or do you know how to resolve it?

I'm doing this on my 2011 MacBook Pro running OS X 10.10.5a

Things I learned long ago from Tether support when they actually did support the product. When installing new app make sure to remove every remaining file related to the previous version. Need to go into Library and find everything. I did that with this new Launcher and it worked. Whether that was what did it I do not know but it worked after that.


Now if the **** thing would just work at any usable speed. Its awful and if there was an alternative app I would jump to it in a second !!


These guys are robbing us and we're letting them. They turned the payment over to a 3rd party and they just collect our money.

Why don't you help us?

Now using El Capitan on Late 2013 Macbook Pro. The previous launching issues are resolved but speed of through put is so slow and unstable as to make Tether unusable.

!. Why don't you guys ever respond to questions about speed?

2. Why do you still have a FACEBOOK page and have not posted anything to it since 2012?

3.If you are not going to support the product you take money for then at least be honest enough to take it all down.

4. Why don't you keep up this site either?





Service is horribly slow and data hardly flows at all. I have tried everything I know and keep refreshing the ios connection on the phone and nothing helps.
