HT1414 What happened to my "Personal Hotspot"!!????

Two days after upgrading to iOS 6, my "Personal Hotspot" magically disappeared from the settings menu. I backed up my phone on my computer, then 'erased all content and settings', then restored my phone. I'm missing some Apps (whatever) but still no "Personal Hotspot"!! I need to tether my phone to my laptop for work and this is crippling!! Does ANYONE know how to fix this??

Ok, sorry, I did not follow those directions correctly. Settings, general, cellular and it was there. My understanding then would be the location to find it in the menu changed with the iOS 6 upgrade. Since I found it, turned it on, then off, it has reappeared back in the initial settings menu, four options down from the top.
Thank you for your assistance with this matter, I can breathe again.

What happened to my personal hotspot on my iPhone 4 with 6.01 OS? How do I get it back?

What happened to my Personal Hotspot on my iPhone 4 6.01 OS? It has disappeared, how do I get it back?

Do a reset (Hold Sleep/Wake and Home buttons about 10 secs or more till Apple logo appears, ignore the Slide to Power Off that appears)
Note: You will not lose any data.
No joy, then talk to your carrier about tethering.

What happened with the persona I created??

I created my own persona, to personalize my Firefox webbrowser. I used the settings and heights and widths that were asked and uploaded everything.
But I cannot find it anywhere and didn't receive any e-mail letting me know it was online etc ...
What happened? Why can't I find it? And why can't I use it?

The doc id that you have mentioned is not linked to any real form document so I would recommend to create a new form.
Not sure what exactly happened, it would be helpful for us if you can provide approximate time when the form was created (at least approximate, like last week or last month or last year) and was the form creating directly via formscentral.acrobat.com or acrobat.com? (it can be related to a different Adobe ID used before/afer you need to reinstall products, but its difficult to be sure without more info).
Thank you,
Roman

I think it is a shame for a company this large and world wide not to have live people to TALK to on the phone to help with issue instaed you have to type in to a computer . What happen to the personal touch and caring for your consumers it is SO frustrat

I don't understand why your company would not want to be customer freindly and helpful , If i wou;d have known there wwas no way of communicating with you other than typing i would not have purchased any of the ipod items we own . I think you should be ashame for your company for not adding a personal touch not every one is conputor savy and do make mistakes when typing but nno one in your company will help unless i chat online i don't always have time to do this and it makes me upset and angery when i have to talk to a computor instead of a live person I hanve talked to pple representive 2 were very freindly i was a complete A## and very rude i don,t understand how your company grows with bad attitueds and taking so long to respond back to you .I wish i could find another brand that did what the the ipod does andd i would toss mine for it .

First, please understand that you're not communicating with Apple when you post in these forums. Everyone here, with rare and limited exceptions, is just a fellow user.
If you want help directly from Apple with a technical problem with an iPod, you can either visit an Apple Store, if there's one near you, or you can call Apple tech support. You can find a list of phone numbers for Apple support for the various countries here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
If you are referring to problems with the iTunes Store, then as is common with most if not all download stores, Apple only provides technical support via email. I presume that they find it not to be cost-effective to provide phone support for such small purchases.
BTW, the forum you posted in, iTunes U, is for colleges and universities who provide content through the iTunes Store. For user questions about iTunes, use one of the general iTunes forums. If you want to comment to Apple, their feedback pages:

HT1414 what happens when child sets a lock and your iPad becomes disabled because we don't know passcode

What do you do when your child enters a pass code and forgets it therefore leaving the message "iPad is disabled connect to iTunes?"

Recovery Mode
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
Note: Data will be lost. You may have to repeat the above many times.

HT204023 Why doesn't my new ipad (3rd gen) wifi+4g with virgin have personal hotspot?

Hi there, I have a new iPad Wifi +4G that I recently purchased whilst I was overseas in America from an Apple Store. I have a data plan back here in Australia which is a $99 micro sim for 10GB of data for a year which is with Virgin (running on the Optus network).
I have with no success found the personal hotspot setting anywhere, whether it be in settings main menu or settings, general, network. I have tried with the network on and off and have not found it.
I rang Virgin, who somewhat explained that they weren't doing personal hotspot yet, or at all (kinda hard to understand their tech support)...
I hope this isn't a Telstra only feature, as apart from their coverage wouldn't go with them anyway.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Harrison.

This solves my question, however annoys the **** out of me. Watching the apple keynote for the new iPad they said customers would have personal hotspot built in. It seems that apple has screwed around with their phrasing again, not mentioning it would in fact be carrier based.
Thanks for the help!
Kind regards, Harrison
IMHO your reasoning makes no sense. The iPad has what is required for "personal hotspot" built in. It only makes sense that you would need a plan that supports this built in functionality in order to use it.
When you buy a car advertised to get 40mpg do you get **** because the car dealer never told you that in order to get 40mpg you have to buy gasoline? The car's 40mpg capability is built in but you still need to buy gas to use that functionality.

HT204023 I need help with my personal hotspot, it will pop up on my computer iPhone for wifi and I type my password in, but it won't connect. Do you think you could help or tell me what to do?

I have personal hotspot on my phone, but it won't connect to my laptop, it will say IPhone on my laptop and I will put my password in but it won't connect could you help me or tell me what I should do with it ?

For starters you should probably tell us what if any error message you receive when you try and connect. What happens when you try? Have you tried changing the password?

Please don't shout! Using all uppercase means shouting on the internet. If your keyboard is stuck please say so, otherwise people will think you are being obnoxious.
Now the first question is, when you are saying connecting to personal hotspot, have you always been using the iPhone to connect to the internet? Are you someplace where the only place to connect is available via tethering to the iPhone's celluar network? Or do you have other options?

Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tend to indicate a problem with your network.
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

My mobile hotspot no longer works since I upgraded to mountain lion. What happened and how do I get it back?

Please someone help me with this - I do a lot of travelling and use my hotspot!

Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried, until the problem is resolved. Some of these steps are only possible if you have control over the wrieless router.
Step 1
Turn Wi-Fi off and back on.
Step 2
Restart the router and the computer. Many problems are solved that way.
Step 3
Change the name of the wireless network, if applicable, to eliminate any characters other than letters and digits. You do that on your router via its web page, if it's not an Apple device, or via AirPort Utility, if it is an Apple device.
Step 4
Run the Network Diagnostics assistant.
Step 5
In OS X 10.8.4 or later, run Wireless Diagnostics and fix the issues listed in the Summary, if any.
Step 6
Back up all data.
Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
Enter the name of your wireless network in the search box. You should have one or more "AirPort network password" items with that name. Make a note of the name and password, then delete all the items. Quit Keychain Access. Turn Wi-Fi off and then back on. Reconnect to the network.
Step 7
You may need to change other settings on the router. See the guidelines linked below:
Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
Potential sources of interference
Step 8
Make a note of all your settings for Wi-Fi in the Network preference pane, then delete the connection from the connection list and recreate it with the same settings. You do this by clicking the plus-sign icon below the connection list, and selecting Wi-Fi as the interface in the sheet that opens. Select Join other network from the Network Name menu, then select your network. Enter the password when prompted and save it in the keychain.
Step 9
Reset the System Management Controller (SMC).

What does it take to turn on personal hotspot?

Can I get personal hotspot turned on?

If the iPhone 4 has a personal hotspot, I would assume you can get it turned on.
What plan do you have? Depending on your plan, the personal hotspot may be an additional fee.
If you are on the Share Everything plan, the hotspot is included. If you are on another plan, there would be an additional fee.
From your settings menu, select general. I believe the hotspot is in this category. Make sure you password protect your hotspot, otherwise people around you can also access it and use YOUR data.
