Connecting to Personal Hot Spot

I have difficulty connecting a new iMac to my Personal Hot Spot (phone or iPad) through my WiFi icon in the menu bar.  The device shows up but it will not connect and I'm forced to open Network Settings in the System Preferences, search for the Hot Spot under Networks, then connect.  My old iMac would always connect via the menu bar.  Is there a setting I am missing?

  • Since downloading IOS 7.0 on my iPhone 4 I do not have the ability to connect to wifi.  I can't even move the on/off button at all. Also, the "personal hot spot"

    Since downloading IOS 7.0 on my iPhone 4, I cannot connect to wifi. The button is greyed out, so I can't even turn it on. I can't download the upgraded version that fixes some of the bugs because you have to be able to connect to the internet to download it.  I also noticed that under "Settings", my Bluetooth and Personal Hot Spot settings are constantly roaming with the circle that just keeps going around and around. I've tried everthing (I think). It was directly related to the 7.0 download because it happened right away. Any ideas? I listen to a lot of eBooks when I commute each day and I need to connect to the internet to download the full versions. I miss my books!!

    See if this helps you with the wifi issue. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1559

    Did you update to iOS 7? If yes you need to update iTunes on your computer to iTunes 11.1
    If you are using iTunes 11.0 and iOS 6.x then show the left sidebar in iTunes.
    When in iTunes on your computer use the View menu to View Sidebar. The device should show up there when connected.

  • How do I print to HP 3050A via personal hot spot

    How do I set up printer, computer and iPhone 5 to print via the personal hot spot?

    The problem is not the printer it is the hotspot. Check the information for your printer and see if it can set up and use its own ad hoc WiFi network. If it can you connect your devices to that WiFi hotspot to print.

  • Does setting up a personal hot spot allow other people to use up your cellular data

    by setting up your own personal hot spot does it allow other people to use up you cellular data?

    Basically yes.  Personal Hotspot means you are sharing out your Cellular Data connection.
    If you give the Hotspot password to someone they will use your Cellular data to access the internet.

    Hi RouxWessels,
    Are you saying that you are unable to go to Settings and turn your Personal Hotspot to OFF?
    If that is the case, the article below will provide some troubleshooting steps:
    iOS: Troubleshooting Personal Hotspot
    Basic troubleshooting
    Confirm that your iOS device, computer, and wireless plan all meet the system requirements for Personal Hotspot.
    Verify that Personal Hotspot is enabled by tapping Settings > General > Cellular > Personal Hotspot.
    Verify the Internet connection on your iOS device by tapping Safari and loading a new webpage.
    If one connection type doesn't work, try another (for example, instead of connecting using Wi-Fi, try using USB or Bluetooth).
    Try disabling and reenabling Personal Hotspot from Settings > Personal Hotspot or Settings > General > Cellular > Personal Hotspot.
    Install the latest version of iOS. Tap Settings > General > Software Update.
    Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    If none of the previous steps resolves your issue, restore the iPhone.
    If you are still experiencing issues, continue with the following troubleshooting steps.Collapse All Sections | Expand All Sections

    Additional Information
    Additional tips
    Depending on your cellular network connection, incoming or outgoing phone calls may interrupt your Personal Hotspot connection. After you end the call, Personal Hotspot should automatically reconnect with your devices.
    If you are outside your wireless carrier's network coverage area, you may be roaming. If that is the case, you will need to have Settings > General > Cellular > Data Roaming set to On to use Personal Hotspot.Data roaming charges will apply. Check with your wireless carrier if you are roaming to verify any additional charges.
    When Personal Hotspot is enabled, your iOS device automatically shares your Internet connection with your computer when connected using USB.
    Example: When you connect iPhone to your computer to charge or sync with iTunes. To avoid unnecessary data charges, turn off Personal Hotspot when not in use.
    I hope this information helps ....
    Have a great day!

  • Sir I have iPhone 5 and I updated ISo 6 and personal hot spot is missing

    Sir I have iPhone 5 and I updated ISo 6 and personal hot spot is missing

    When you enable the 'Personal Hotspot' then any device that connects to that device is being tethered to your iPhone 5.
    Some carriers see this as a special service that they charge extra money for, so they disable on your phone unless your are paying them extra.

  • In 5s, personal hot spot does not work from time to time. Not detected

    In 5s, personal hot spot does not work from time to time. Iphone does not get detected on Wi-fi or bluetooth. Restarting or rebooting does not help.  

    Settings, general, reset and reset network settings. Clear out your network settings and set personal hotspot again.
    also avoid special characters making a password. hashtags or open brackets for example doesn't work too good.
