Can't get iphone and ipad to tether

I have an iphone 4s and an ipad 2 running the latest ios and my O2 tariff includes tethering with 3G or wifi.
It used to work fine tethering the ipad to the iphone by turning on personal hotspot on the iphone and finding it with the ipad when away from wifi.
Now, it appears normal and reports a connection to the hot spot, and the ipad displays the little chain icon to show it is connected to the iphone, but I can't get a page to load. It eventually times out.
I have tested tethering using both wifi and 3G and it doesn't work, but both gadgets work fine withthe internet on their own, and the iphone's 3G also works fine on its own. I have also tested in different locations with the same result. I am nowhere near my data limit for my tariff.
Somehow it no longer works.
Any advice would be appreciated.

I can not get iPhone and iPad calendar to sync. Help

Help. I can not get iPad and iPhone calendar to sync

Please also check, if the appointments you already have entered on one device are stored in a iCloud calendar or only local or in another account. Therefor just open the calendar app, then open an existing appointment, click on "Calendar" and then check, if it is really an iCloud calendar where the appointment is stored.

Having multiple iDevices, messaging is becoming a nuisance. I can disable on iphones and iPad, but but I'd still like texting on macbook pro but not group. How to disable, other than delete app?

Ok, new to this, sorry for long title, thought I was in text/message part. I have two iPhones, and iPad, and a MacBook Pro. Invoking messaging and receiving on two iPhones and an iPad was cute in the beginning but now it's beyond useful. i've solved the problem on iPhones just by turning off messaging, but find nothing in settings to turn off messaging on the MacBook Pro. I'm assuming that turning off messaging on my phones reverts to SMS tho' not sure what Apple uses if not SMS.
I do not want iPhone messages being received on my MacBook Pro. How do I de-authorize, can't seem to find anything in settings and don't want to delete MESSAGE.APP as who knows if I want it in future.
Thanks in advance. All deviced up to date with software, and am using Mt. Lion on MacBook.

HI,
The iOS Messages app send either iMessages or SMS depending on the receiver.
If it is Off then you can't send SMS either.
Turn Messages back On in the iPhone.
Go to Setting > Messages > Send and Receive and delete the Apple ID (And any other email) you listed for iMessages
You will get a warning alert that the ID will be deleted across all devices (and it included Messages on the Mac)
The Messages app on the Mac can have iMessages turned Off.
Two ways to do this.
Simplest is to go to Messages Menu > Preferences > Accounts and Untick the Enable this Account Box.
The second is to use the Sign Out Button (in OS X 10.8.2 which has updated Messages to version 7.0.1)
The Second logs you out and removes the Apple ID from the iMessages Account settings.

Can you connect iPhone and iPad to iTunes at same time?

Just received my new iPad2 and it will not show up in iTunes. I have my iPhone connected for a long time, but even if I disconnect it the iPad does not show up.
Any Ideas?

What if you manually quit iTunes?
I can see why iTunes would not want you to try to sync two devices at the same time, but I don't see why both can't be attached. I guess that's just how they designed it. Probabaly makes sense. But if you quit out of iTunes (and iPhoto if that's running too), then I bet both devices would take a charge at the same time.
By the way, I set my iPhone and iPad to NOT sync automatically - so they don't cause iTunes to launch when attached.

I have just updated my Mac but can't connect iPhone and Ipad

Why cant I connect my iPhone and Ipad to my mac via bluetooth??

This worked for me:
1 Go to the finder menu bar at the top of the screen
2Click go
3 click applications
4 go down to iTunes and right click on Show Package Contents
5 open contents folder then go to mac os folder
6 open the terminal marked iTunes in that folder
This should force it to open and function enough, it will not allow importing of music from a desk top

Can't use iphone AND ipad

So I just figured out how to check out and download ebooks/audiobooks from the library to my iphone. Very cool indeed and works well on the iphone, however I can't get the same access on my ipad. I have an Adobe ID. In the overdrive app, I have spefied that the ipad is authorized as well so I don't understand why the books I checked out don't show up there. Also, I downloaded and authorized, the Adobe Digital Editions app for my Macbook and it doesn't see any of my books either. What is the point of an Adobe ID if it doesn't store and allow me access to the media I needed the login for in the first place????

I'm sorry you took my remarks as rudeness.
I'm still seeing an underlying thread of what I think is a
misunderstanding.....
What requires a sign-in with your Adobe ID? Access to ebooks on the iPad
and iPhone? I'm not aware of this, as Apple has developed the applications
for epublications that are working on those devices. So - are you saying
something else?
Your MAC applications will work well - they do for others who use the
ADE/MAC applications, so I have to ask you how you've been trying to use
the application, and whether it's set up properly (no offense - it's just
not clear what you've done so we'd be able to give you some advice on what
to do next). You would use ADE on the MAC the same way you would use it on
a PC: start the application and go from there. When you do transfers from
ebook sites (libraries, ebookstores, etc.), the ebooks should be placed in
your ADE library on the MAC. If this is what you do and nothing is
transferred, check the security settings to make sure that your operating
system is going to let file transfers from that site through the
firewall.... I am using PC terms because I'm not a really good MAC guy, so
pardon me for being a bit 'off' on this point.
Amazon has chosen to implement their Kindle using significantly different
methods from others, and tying the Kindle to the Amazon site for ebook
purchases. Some libraries - not all - use features in the Overdrive
software that will interact directly with the Kindle, but many do not. You
can try talking with your library's technical support function to find out
whether you're in luck.
Libraries loan ebooks on a 1:1 basis. That means you download them from
the library to one location once. That's the way their Overdrive software
is set up. Once downloaded to a computer, if the DRM settings allow it,
you can copy it over to an ebook reader. So, I'm not sure what you mean by
being able to download it to more than one device unless it's this
capability.
You should be able to set a 'place mark' in an ebook so that you can pick
up where you leave off. Depending on the device, it's either a bookmark,
placemark or earmark (not the Federal kind). Some devices do this
automagically when you turn off the device - some do not. Placemark
information is carried with the ebook in a portion of the data file
attached to the ebook. If it ain't working, then it's probably a
'compatibiltiy issue', as the programmers like to say, between devices.
That's not an ADE issue - unless you're using ADE to read the ebook. If
so, you should contact Adobe's help line and report the problem.....
Hope this helps!

How do I get iPhone and iPad to sync Outlook emails correctly?

If I read an email on the computer, the iOS devices still show the email as unread. If i read an email from the iPhone, the iPad and computer still show the email as unread. etc. etc. Any fixes on this? I've checked and double checked all the settings and everything seems ok.

As I said, that is a proprietary protocol between Outlook/Exchange. If that is the only protocol your email server supports then you will not be able to sync with anything other than a device that can use Outlook. It is not available for iOS or Google Android, it might be supported on Windows Mobile 7.

Can applications on iphone and ipad

I have bought some applications on my ipad some months ago and I have just bought an iphone5. But I have no all the applications of my ipad which have been transfered on my iphone...just some ones. Could you help me ?

Not all apps are compatible for both ipad and iphone.
If the apps aren't compatible then you will have to download it separately for your iphone.

Word, Excel & powerpoint How to upload to iCloud so it can synch with iPhone and iPad?

Need help on this How do i upload my word document or excel spreadsheet and powerpoint slides from my mac air to icloud? Do i hvae to buy keynote, pages etc to be able to do this?

hhhmmm,,
Its been about 5 months since you posted this question - but I figure nobody has answered you.
not sure if you still are looking for the answer, but you can just upload them when you login to iCloud.com
They will appear on your ipad - Powerpoint is presentation software, so you will need to upload under the keynote section.
Have Fun:-)

How can I get all photos from the camera roll onto the photo stream so they will share between iphone and ipad?

How can I get all photos from the camera roll, and all new pictures taken, to get on the photostream so they can share between iphone and ipad?

When turning PhotoStream on with photos available in the Camera Roll, only photos captured by the iPhone or saved on the iPhone are placed in the PhotoStream.
For all photos that were in the Camera Roll prior to turning PhotoStream on, import the photos with your computer and add the photos to your PhotoStream on your computer.

HT1386 iPhone and iPad don't always appear in iTunes for wifi sync, why? Sometimes, when my phone and ipad are both turned on and I open iTunes it shows "2 devices" in iTunes and I can sync. Often one or neither will show up, no matter what I do.

I can sync my iphone and ipad over wifi using itunes, but not always. In fact quite frequently neither shows up in itunes. I try to reboot them and sometimes they show up, but not all the time. I have tried rebooting iphone and ipad, the computer, checking and unchedking "sync over wifi," etc.
Nothing changes. Very often one or both do not show up to be synced. they work find if connected by usb cable, but not over wifi.
any help would be appreciated.

So far I've found the only remedy is to reboot my server (Mavericks Server is my OS).
Clearly there is some system service getting hosed. If I can figure out which service to kill and let launchd restore the service, I can save some grief.

HT4528 can you interchange the iphone and ipad chargers?

can you interchange iphone and ipad chargers?

No, the iPad charger will just limit the output to 5W. It won't give out 10W for "faster charging".

Can I pair my iPhone and iPad so I can put the phone in my bag and take calls threw the iPad like the ASUS

Can I pair my iPhone and iPad so I can put the phone in my bag and take calls threw the iPad like the new ASUS tablet/phone combo ?
As a Quadriplegic I keep dropping my mouth stick on the ground and I fumble for my phone when it rings the table on my wheelchair is cluttered with my iPad iPhone mouth stick and TV and AC remotes I want to be able to put my iPhone in my bag and receive calls threw the iPad.
All new electric wheelchairs allow you to pair the joystick or chin control of the chair to only one device so currently you have to sacrifice your use of one to use the other if we can pair the iPhone and iPad by wifi we can then sit the iPad in a mount on our wheelchairs and pair it ia bluetooth and operate them with ease .
Can anyone out there help me or pass on my needs to a development team within Apple, please help as I don't want to have to buy the ASUS tablet/phone
Paul

I would like to be able to do this also but, i'm not sure how to set my iPad to manually sync for one thing and also, when I connect my iPad to my new (recently purchased,first time,new to this) iMac it only gives me the option to either set up as 'new' or 'restore to my recent iPhone back up'. I just want them to be separate. How can I fix this please?

Cannot find apps purchased for iPhone and iPad in iTune

My iMac 27 running very slowly under Mavericks and since the upgrade of iTune to version 12.01.26 being impossible to complete a sync of my iPhone and iPad I decided to completely reset my iMac 27. Before doing this I copied all the files I wanted to keep on my MacBook Pro (including all my music and apps for iPhone and iPad).
The OS X Mavericks being no longer available on the App Store I completely reset my iMac 27 and installed OS X Yosemite 10.10. Once this was done I copied back all the files I wanted to keep from my MacBook Pro (running Mavericks) to my iMac 27 (now running Yosemite). There was no problem with all my music now appearing in iTune. However I cannot find any of the apps I bought for my iPhone and iPad and which I copied back from my MacBook Pro (running Mavericks) to my iMac 27 (now running Yosemite).
All the copied back apps appear correctly in the following directory of my iMac 27 :
Musique/iTunes/iTunes Media/Mobile Applications/
However none appear in any of the 5 sections in the Apps section of iTune.
I decided to purchase an app in the App Store to see where the related file would appear and it appears in the same directory as stated above. I can see the icon of this newly purchased app in the app section of iTune but none of the apps I recopied from my MacBook Pro. Moreover when I go in the app store to see the newly purchased app I can see that it has been downloaded. However when I try to do the same for the apps I have already purchased and recopied the App Store tells me to purchase them. When I try to do the same on my MacBook Pro the App Store tells me that the apps have already been purchased, though they were the copied apps from my iMac 27 before full reset.
Can someone help me to get all my previously purchased apps in iTune on my iMac 27 so I can sync my iPhone and iPad without loosing all the apps which appear on them ?

Fruit Ninja has a unique iPhone version and a unique iPAD version. So for this particular App you can buy both. That said, if you decide to buy the iPhone version, the iPhone version will also work on your iPAD too. But the iPAD version which you have already purchased will not work on the iPhone.
So to summarize, iPhone apps will work on iPAD, but iPAD unique or specific apps will not work on the iPhone. Some apps are designed to work on both beyond the features of just the iPhone app. The Fruit Ninja HD unique or specific iPAD app will not work on the iPhone.

Cloud computing between my iPhone and iPad with my wife's new iPhone

Just purchased an iPhone 5 for my wife and have connected it to my existing iTunes account. I already have an iCloud account for my iPhone 5 and iPad. What I would like is to be able to share calendars, photostream, and provide cloud based backup for her but still maintain autonomy between the devices. I do not wish to have her contacts transferred onto my iPhone/iPad and she does not wish to have mine either.
Do/can I set up a new iCloud account for her phone and share photostream/calendar while still sharing the same itunes account? Is that possible or is there an easier way to be able to do this?

You can leave your iPhone and iPad as they are. If you haven't set up iCloud on your wife's phone yet, simply go to Settings>iCloud on her phone and sign in with a different Apple ID. (If you don't have one, tap Get Free Apple ID at the bottom to create one. This will require a different non-Apple email address, which must be verified to validate the ID.) You can continue to share the same Apple ID for purchasing (in Settings>iTunes & App Stores). It does not need to be the same as the ID you use for other services such as iCloud.
If, on the other hand, your existing iCloud account is already set up on her phone, and her data is now merged with yours, you will need to migrate her phone to a new account, then delete the unwanted data from each account. Begin by saving any photo stream photos she has on her phone to her camera roll by opening her my photo stream album, tapping Edit, tap all the photos, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.
Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud on her phone, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud. Your devices will not be effected by this.) When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On My iPhone. Next, set up her new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom). Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge. This will upload the data to the new account.
Finally, to un-merge the data you will then have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the data you don't want (i.e., delete her data from your account, and vice versa).
