Hotspot Problem

Hi
Not sure if Mac Mini discussion is the right place for this problem since it is hotspot related, but the problem only happens on my mini.
Basically, I have an old mini which I can use hotspot to connect to the internet. I recently bought a new mac mini and used migration assistant to copy everything from old mini to new mini in setup.
The problem I have is that while old mini can still use hotspot to access internet, new mini links up to my iphone, recognises the hotspot connection I am unable to use this connection to get any internet traffic. I have connected bia USB, bluetooth and wifi to both old and new mini and get the same result.
As far as I can see everything is in place for this to work on new mini since it is a clone of old mini, but just don't get any data transfer.
Am I missing something somewhere?
Cheers

Hotspot Problem SOS!!! HELP

Hello All,
Currently facing a hotspot problem. When connecting to a hotspot on the iPhone it works fine eventually but when connecting to a hotspot on the blackberry bold 9900 with OS 7 it always says cannot connect to blackberry hotspot.
I am wondering if Apple have made their products (so) that you can only connect to iPhone or other products with hotspots.

Same here it connect bet not working actually !
And all other devices are working correctly through iPad hot spot but blackberry is not.
Hope apple to fix

Hotspot problem with IOS 6 in iPhone4

After upgrading to IOS 6 my iPhone 4 start losing Hotspot connectivity with iPad3. Only works if I restart my iPhone 4 ( power down and power up) .
Any suggestions ? I'm in Canada using Fido carrier for my cellphone with 6GB data plan .

So here's my solve path for the personal hotspot missing issue after upgrading to iOS6 from iOS 5.1.1. This is on a iPhone 4S. I have the 4GB data plan plus tethering (personal hotspot).
Summary of fix
- The issue wasnt the phone. It was fixed by Level 2 AT&T by messing with network/account settings. My plan didnt change to 5GB - the 4GB plan I was on is the same now its working. I didnt get a new SIM card, or a new phone. So my suggestion if you face this problem is call AT&T, and escalate the problem up through their support.
Steps Tried
- Turn phone off and on
- Reset network settings
- Restore phone using itunes back to factory defaults. Setup as a new phone.
- Restore phone and recover backup
- Do a reset on the phone (hold down top button and front button).
- Called AT&T and was transferred to Apple. Apple escalated up to a Level 2 support person. Transferred back to AT&T Level 2 support (who fixed the problem).
- Note - apple support and AT&T support apparently cannot be on the same call at the same time (some bogus rule). So they will transfer you back and forth but cant be on at the same time.
- Initially AT&T Level 1 said it was Apple problem (a punt - they couldnt work out how to fix). Apple Level 1 said it was AT&T's problem, so its important to get to Level 2 so they actually try to fix.
So like I said at the top, the key is getting AT&T to fix your account, not the phone issue. They will ask you to turn the phone off, then back on a few times, then reset network settings again. It was the network settings reset that finally fixed it for me, after they monkeyed with account settings a few times.
Good luck!

Ipad2 /hotspot problem after software upgrade

I can connect to my hotspot or at least it is showing that I am connected but can't download email, or access the internet. Anyone else having this problem?

Steve,
Thank you for your input but the RAID disk set will not pose an editing issue
as read cycle time is the same as a single disk. RAID 1 does have a slight
increase in the write time, but this slight increase is also not an issue for NL
video editing.
I followed your recommendations for managing performance of Win 7 and I
did notice a performance increase. I have decided NOT to operate APE 8
with AVCHD clips and I am testing different AVCHD converters from
different companies. I am currently testing converting to DV AVI format but
I do not know if that format is optimal for editing in PRE.
Another forum participant suggested that the On Board GPU may not have
sufficient performance, but I do not believe the APE uses any of the
acceleration offered by a GPU.
I believe as you do that multi-core processing is much more significant in
performance improvement. That is the reason I purchased a QUAD CORE
AMD processor. Now I am wondering if the software is actually taking full
advantage of the QUAD core. When APE loads it reports that a "multi-core
Processor is present" but the software struggles in previewing an HD
project.
I am trying to avoid having to render sections of a project to see the
preview because rendering while editing consumes too much time and eats
up resources.

Public wifi hotspot problems

I’ve read the thread about flaky wifi, but I think the following may be a different issue, as this is not purely wifi connectivity:
I am using a year old MacBook Pro.
It connects fine into my own wifi, and at friends’ homes, hotels etc.
However, it is problematic when it comes to using free-to-use hotspots in public areas.
Typically I can connect right into a wifi system.
Then the procedure is to open the web browser (Safari or Firefox installed), which should be automatically directed to the organisation’s log-in, where you accept their terms and conditions, and off you go.
Sometimes for me this works fine, so if I go into a McDonalds, no problem.
But it often does not, for example I cannot hook into the Orange France Service, nor the Eurotunnnel service and others.
However, in all instances my iPhone works immediately.
Seems to me that something on the MacBook may be misconfigured, and any help to identify and rectify the problem will be much appreciated.

Nothing in your MBP is seriously miss-configured. Most times it's the service. What I do is to create a new location for every public hotspot I visit. Outline the preferences along with ISP (network names) in my Preferred networks list. If a hotspot reacts like the one's that are giving you issues I manually type the hotspots sign-in page in the url address in my browser. Once there I can bookmark that page for the next time it gets buggy.

Mobile Internet and Personal Hotspot problems

I have an iPhone 3GS with the latest updates.
Yesterday mobile internet has suddenly stopped working, giving me the 'iPhone is not connected to the internet' error anytime I tried to use Safari (nothing else involving a connection is working, really)
I didn't make any change that could have triggered this, I have an unlimited mobile internet plan and anyway I have enough money too.
I can see the 3G and Edge symbols and have a good service, APN is correct. I use only mobile internet, therefore the other connection options are always turned off.
I tried restarts, resets, both manual, with iTunes, only network settings, total formatting, restoring from backup, but I still have the problem.
Rarely it starts working, but only for some seconds, time to load a page and it stops working again.
Going through the network settings I then noticed 'Personal Hotspot' has the loading wheel that never stops spinning, like it was searching for something, I know I usually had an option to turn it on and off, anyway before that happened it was off.
I don't want to use a Personal Hotspot and want to keep it off but there's on option at all, I tried all the resets again, or staying on that setting page for a while, but it goes on spinning.
I don't know if the two things are connected, I was wondering if mobile internet and hotspot are someway conflicting with one another, if I can't connect because it keeps searching for the hotspot, or if there's any way to stop that 'loading status'?
Tried searching on other threads/Google already but I didn't find anything that would solve it

I tried with the Sim too and din't work either
I'm with Vodafone, I've seen other people having the same problem but it was due a wrong APN or else they got it fixed with a simple restart
Tried calling their CS too but I just got told to check my APN/config (it's everything fine) or try resetting network settings as I already did a few times

3gs hotspot problem

I've been trying for about a week to get my 3gs' personal hotspot via usb to connect to my toshiba satellite to no avail but it works on my significantly older compaq desktop. My itunes on both computers and ios are both up to date. Is there anything I can do to fix this problem?
Thanks in advance

If you Compaq had all other means of communication turned off and was indeed working thru the 3GS, then it must be an elusive setting, or a driver issue on the Toshiba Satellite.

Hotspot problem solving

Recently I've updated my iphone 4 to the latest iOS version. Since then I've been unable to connect to my hotspot. It seems, every time I type my carriers info in the APN space in the hotspot section, it erases it as soon I go back to the main menu. As I try to connect I get the message telling me to contact my carrier.
Is there any solution to this problem??

Same here it connect bet not working actually !
And all other devices are working correctly through iPad hot spot but blackberry is not.

IPhone 6 hotspot problems

I can't connect my iPhone 6 to my personal hotspot if using WPA2 security. It connects, then disconnects right away. No security works fine, but who wants to share their hotspot with everyone? WEP seems to work as well. Wasn't this problem found and fixed back in iOS 6!? Love buying a brand new device and having old problems come back. I've tried resetting the network settings twice, to which now it just tells me the password is incorrect, despite several attempts and even changing and retyping my hotspot password.

Now it sometimes connects, other times it keeps asking me for the password over and over again. Is there a solution to this other than using WEP or no security at all!?

How to fix iTunes 10.6 iPhone's USB Personal Hotspot problem

I'd updated iTunes to 10.6 and iOS to 5.1 this morning and found out that my iPhone 4S's Personal Hotspot using USB was never connected. Even before updating iOS to 5.1, installing iTunes 10.6 causes the usb hotspot on iOS 5.0.1. iPhone 4S iOS 5.1 usb hotspot is still working on my PC with iTunes 10.5.3.
Is this happened to anyone else?

Same problem for me. iPhone 3GS running iOS 5.1 with iTunes 10.6, and I'm no longer able to use Personal Hotspot (tethering) via USB, which worked fine last week with the previous versions (iOS 5.0.1 and iTunes 10.5.3). Bluetooth tethering is fine with iOS 5.1 and iTunes 10.6.
Some additional data points which I haven't seen mentioned yet:
1. I'm running Mac OS X 10.6.8, so the problem is not unique to iTunes 10.6 running on Lion.
2. I tried restarting my Mac, in case the driver installed by the iTunes update hadn't loaded correctly. It didn't help.
3. I tried my iPhone with another Mac (also Mac OS X 10.6.8) which was still running iTunes 10.5.3 and had never used an iPhone for tethering. On connection via USB, the Mac reported that it had found a new network interface. I went into System Preferences and did an "Apply" to confirm the change to network preferences, and ensured there were no other active network connections. iPhone was listed as a network interface, with a red status indicator, and the USB tethering connection didn't work.
Combined with evidence earlier in this thread, this strongly suggests the problem is with iOS 5.1 running on any iPhone model, and is independent of the iTunes and Mac OS X version. maclucassen's suggestion of testing tethering using an iPhone running iOS 5.0.1 with a Mac running iTunes 10.6 would be useful data for further confirmation that it is a bug in iOS 5.1.

Any news on the update to fix the Hotspot problem?

Still unable to connect my tablet to internet through my Z3. I can connect to hotspot but no internet. My network `3` say it`s a problem they`ve made Sony aware of and I will have to wait for a fix.

I have the same problem gabbygo. After going back and forth on this topic here on this forum someone decided to close the discussion I started. There is much resistance from Adobe on this matter and they do not feel very comfortable when the bugs are made visible by customers. Strange cause that's actually how a software company should improve. They should be embrasing the opportunity to enhanse the product instead of approaching their paying customers as poison as soon as they identify chronic problems and bugs. There are also a great deal of bug problems with epubs. You can do a search on that topic both here and on Google. People seem to struggle a great deal with that as well, but those bugs are of course newer than the export to pdf bugs. It's sad the way things are developing, Adobe have become a very closed organisation not willing to deal with wide spread application bugs, sticking the head into the sand is hardly a wise solution.
I'm sorry I can't help you out on this. I wish I had some answers myself. Let's hope they will produce the fix you are asking for.

Connecting to wifi hotspots problem

Have set up my blackberry to connect to the Blackberry Internet Service through Orange in a 6 month free trial and to connect wirelessly with my home network - so far so good.
However, have tried but been unsuccessful in connecting to open wifi hotspots on Virgin Trains and Pret - both I believe are tmobile supplied.
I have my blackberry set to Hotspot browser as the Default browser config, Internet browser on Default MDS browser and Orange World on Default WAP Browser.
The blackberry has no problem finding the open wifi networks, tries to connect but always ends in failure.
Your help would be much appreciated.

u have two options
1) Go to
Menu->Tools->Settings->Connections->Access Points and delete all access points other than your home WLAN. You can always recreate your service provider access points when you need them with the Settings Wizzard.
2) While at home go
Menu -> Connectivity -> WLAN wiz and set up your wifi access point from there. (passkey and even give it a simpler name if you want) once you do that it should come up as a valid access point that you can choose from or set as the default access point.
