According to my network provider (Amaysim/Optus) Tethering is enabled, so why do I get this error message "to enable personal hotspot on this account, contact OPTUS"

According to my network provider (Amaysim/Optus) Tethering is enabled, so why do I get this error message "to enable personal hotspot on this account, contact OPTUS"
Amysim/Optus support can not help.
I can not check or change any network settings (no APN settings)
I have synced phone using latest itunes (10.5.3).
Phone software is up to date (5.0.1).
Network settings have been reset.
SIM card has been taken out and put back in.
Phone has been switched off/on again.
Another sim card from virgin works ok (hotspot option is visible and can be turned on/off as required)
The Amaysim/Optus SIM card can be put into another phone (android) and tethering/hotspot works fine.
Can anyone provide solution to this nightmare?

I am having the same issue although i have an iphone 5. I have contacted Live connected numerous times an tried everything imaginable to solve the issue. Is it possibly a handset issue? I cant recieve any help from optus as im with live connected, they cant help me and apple keep telling me to contact your carrier ( live connected). Seems to make me want to switch providers pretty shortly..
please let me know if you can solve your issue and maybe it can help me too..

  • Why do I get the error message "iTunes Match could not download because disconnected from network?  I'm connected to the internet during that time with Safari so am I not connected to the network?

    Why do I get the error message "iTunes Match could not be updated because you were disconnected from the network during processing."  I'm on the internet during all of this.  What disconnect is the message referring to?  Itunes is frozen now.  I keep clicking OK but it just comes back with no action.

    Hello FredJay,
    Thank you for contacting Apple Support Communities.
    iTunes Match needs a network connection to work, either Wi-Fi, cellular or wired. See the following:
    Make sure you have an active Internet connection
    Be sure your computer or device has an active Internet connection by loading a webpage using Safari or another web browser.
    On an iOS device with cellular support, if you are not on a Wi-Fi network, try enabling 3G cellular data1 for iTunes Match.
    For iOS 6, tap Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Use Cellular Data > On
    For iOS 5.1.1 or earlier, tap Settings > iTunes & App Store > Use Cellular Data > On
    1Fees may be associated with downloading over cellular networks; contact your wireless carrier for details.

  • Why do i get an error message while trying to connect to airport network?

    i just installed an airport card in an iMac G5, archived and installed Tiger, updated everything (while connected via ethernet) and now when i'm trying to connect to the wi fi network in the house i keep on getting a message saying there's an error while trying to connect to the network. i have a PowerMac G5 connected wirelessly with no problems, i have an iBook connected to an Airport Express via ethernet and a Mac Mini connected to an ethernet port on the Airport Extreme Base Station. there's a DSL modem connected to the other ethernet port on the Base Station. occasionally the iMac will connect to the network, but that's once every few restarts or log outs.
    help.

    i called apple support and they said after trying tons of software related tweaks and such that it's probably the airport card and to see if it's in correctly and if it is just exchange it for a new one.

  • I'm getting an error message from Firefox that says, "Something is trying to trick Firefox into accepting an insecure update. Please contact your network provider and seek help."

    I'm getting an error message from Firefox that says, "Something is trying to trick Firefox into accepting an insecure update. Please contact your network provider and seek help." Do you know what is going on here--what this problem could be? (I do have the latest Firefox version already installed. I have previously received Firefox error messages that say "Firefox Update Failed." However, I already had the latest Firefox version installed when I received those error messages.)

    Apparently this occurs when Firefox has problems with security certificates. There have been a few questions about this. I will try to get advice about this.
    Apparently you are using Internet Explorer 9 (From your system details). Do you have Google Updater plugin installed on Firefox ?
    (That been implicated in this sort of problem by one poster, and some users with the problem do have Google Updater, but some do not)

  • I suddenly am unable to retrieve my emails.  I discussed this with my Internet provider, but still get an error message and can't access my emails.  Any suggestions???

    I am unable to retrieve my emails since yesterday.  I called Time Warner Cable, my Internet provider, but they could not help me; they stated that the settings had changed, since they were upgrading.  I adjusted the settings, but still get an error message: 
              Alert
              There may be a problem with the mail server or network.  Verify the settings for account "Mail 1" or try again.
              The server returned the error:  The connection to the server "smtp.roadrunner.com" on port 110 timed out.
    I changed the server, and the port, as Time Warner Cable tech rep recommended, but to no avail.  They recommended I delete my current email account and recreate it, but that I check with Apple first, because I might lose my contact list (and any email messages I'd previously saved!?).  They suggested Apple might be able to tell me how to not lose the contacts, emails, profile.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    I can not dowload the new updated software for my Ipod touch 4G. When i do I get an error message that says Network connection has timed out. I have done the trouble shooting steps. Downloaded the latest version of Itunes, and checked network connection

    Disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall during the download and update usually resolves the timeout error.

  • HT1926 when i try to install update i get this error message  the feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable   any ideas

    every time i try to update itunes i get this error message    The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable    then asks me to find the folder containing the instalation package ITunes.msi

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

    "The feature you are trying to use in on a network resource that is unavailable. Enter alternate path to a folder containing the installation package itunes64.msi".
    Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):

  • Just updated to IOS 7 and two issues:  First when I connect my iPhone to my computer I get this error message:itunes was unable to provider data from sync services".

    Just updated to IOS 7 and two issues: 
    First when I connect my iPhone to my computer I get this error message:itunes was unable to provider data from sync services".  I'm not sure what this really means...
    The second issue is when I try to select "Manually Manage Music"
         The iPhone "My iPhone" is synced with another iTunes libary on "MY-PC".  Do you want to erase this iPhone and sync with this iTunes library?  An iPhone can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time.  Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this iPhone with the contents of this iTunes library."
    So... I don't want to do that, but I do what to be able to Manage my music.  I'm not sure what it means by being synced to another iTunes unless it means to an older version of itunes?
    Anyone have any ideas?

    I cannot address the sync services error right now, but the error that you receive when you change from sync to manually manage music is what happens when you change. Once you change to manually manage music, it erases all of the music and will only put the music that you want on the phone, content that you manually drag over to it. See if this support document helps you out. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1535
