Connect iphone 4 to Macbook via Bluetooth

When trying to pair my iphone 4 to my macbook pro a code is generated by the Mac and sent to the iphone. Verifying that the code displayed on the iphone is the same as the one shown on the Mac should now initiate an authorised pairing to take place. At this point the Mac disconnects announcing that it doesn't recognise the iphone, which is a bit rich given that both devices are Apple products. There are many references to this problem on the Net with answers ranging from " use the supplied USB interface cable" to "it just doesn't work". Ahem, not very helpful. Does anyone have either a fix to make it work

SOURCE: problem with internet connection

By "USB wireless internet" I assume you are referring to a communication card from a cellular telephone carrier.
I also assume that despite the fact that you have singled out Safari, in reality you will find cannot access the internet at all through this device, e.g., sending and receiving mail through Apple Mail, using iChat, using Software Update, etc. I say this because when Safari refuses to access the internet through a particular device, it's very rare that the problem turns out to be peculiar only to Safari. (To answer your original question, no, no special settings are needed.)
Many of these cellular internet cards come with "install me first" software for the Mac that is written badly and doesn't work on the most current versions of the Mac OS. Your first step (assuming you have another working route to the internet) is to visit your provider's website and download the current version of his Mac connection software (which will almost always NOT be the version you got in your product box). Install and run it exactly according to the instructions (they are often so fragile that any variation at all will break them), and then try again.

Macbook pro 10.6 os. And hook up to my wifi panasonic 26"tv to steam movies from my macbook

Try and use the bluetooth: Make your T.V. discoverable(I'm sure it's under the network settings or maybe it has a bluetooth settings tab) and pair with it trough your macbook. I would personally just hook up a thunderbolt to HDMI or VGA. You could also get a apple T.V. and connect that way.
