I can't connect my personal hotspot using wifi,I can able to find my iphone4 but it's just showing obtaing ip adress ??wat can I do for this problem??

Hey there arunvdi,
It sounds like you are unable to connect to the Wi-Fi created by your Personal Hotspot. I recommend these troubleshooting steps from the article named:
iOS: Troubleshooting Personal Hotspot
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2756
Try disabling and reenabling Personal Hotspot from Settings > Personal Hotspot or Settings > General > Cellular > Personal Hotspot.
Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Wi-Fi troubleshooting
If you encounter an issue using Personal Hotspot with other Wi-Fi devices, try the following:
Turn Personal Hotspot off.
Verify Wi-Fi is on in Settings > Wi-Fi.
Turn Personal Hotspot back on.
If another device is unable to join your Wi-Fi network, ensure that the user enters the Wi-Fi password correctly. If the device cannot see your Wi-Fi network, verify your device name.
Note: Windows may not properly display a device name that uses non-ASCII characters.
Verify how many devices are currently using your Personal Hotspot. Depending on your wireless carrier and, the maximum number of Wi-Fi connections may be limited to three at one time.
If the other device still cannot connect, try turning Wi-Fi off and on again on the device. Verify that your device can see other Wi-Fi networks.
Note: If you see an "Unable to Join" or timeout error when trying to connect a device using Wi-Fi, ensure that you remain on the Personal Hotspot screen until the first device connects. After a device has connected, you can leave the Personal Hotspot screen and use your phone normally. Your device will automatically stop broadcasting using Wi-Fi if you put your device to sleep or after 90 seconds elapse with no devices connected using Wi-Fi. You can start broadcasting your Wi-Fi network again by tapping Settings > Personal Hotspot.
If none of the previous steps resolves your issue, restore the iPhone.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Regards,
Sterling

Can I connect my Wii to my personal hotspot using my iPhone 5s? Wii finds access point but getting code 51330 after putting in correct password.

>

I probably should have been more specific in my first post. I have tried various corrective steps including the ones found at this link. Below is the network event log entry from the failed attempt to connect. As you can see, the connecting system can see the hotspot but can't get the hotspot to answer roll call. It thinks it might be a signal strength issue but in fact it has a strong [all 5 bars] signal.

Equium A200 can not connect to the interest using Wifi

Hi,
Since having to reinstall Windows Vista Ultimate, I can not connect to the interest using Wifi. It works fine for Ethernet, but when choosing the "Connect to the Internet" screen, its blank and will not find any wifi connects or let me manually connect to one.
In Device Manager under Network Adaptors, it now only shows the Ethernet Controller and not the Wifi adaptor. I have tried to download the driver from this site and after rebooting nothing has changed. I have made sure the machine has all the latest Windows updates as well. I have also mader sure that the wifi button is switched on at the front of the machine.
Also one a side note I cant seem to find the exact name of the Laptop in the system section of Control Panel other than Equum A200. On the download driver page there is NOT a A200 listed only A300 and A300D.

I guess you didnt look into the Archive the A200 is a little bit older therefore the drivers are placed in Archive!

Can't connect to livebox to use wifi

Hi, my mum has just got a curve 8520 so I've been trying to set up the wifi on it to use with our orange livebox, my dad and I have the same phone and I've connected those to the livebox with no problems but I just can't get her one to connect. I've put the pre-shared key in and press the pairing button on the livebox but it keeps saying it can't authenticate it and when i try to do it manually it just says it can't connect. Confused!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Do you have mac filtering on the livebox router? Do you have enough available IP addresses allowed in the router settings?

I have an issue with my 3G connection: my iphone can't connect anymore to the data network even though I have a contract with unlimited internet access and the date/3G is turned ON. Anyone knows this problem ?

Hi guys,
This problem showed up a few days ago. Even though I have turned on the 3G and the cellular data, my phone tells me there is actually no connection. But the network indicators shows a maximum network. I went to the genius bar and they fixed it by restoring the phone and it started working again. Then I restored it at home with my back up. Today, it started again: network issue. And the problem does not come from the network (I have tried my sim on another iphone with the same carrier). It really does come from the device.
Any ideas ?
Many thanks

Hello

Yes it saves,

I can't get firefox (Linux) to use flashplayer. I've installed a dozen times but it doesn't show up in tools/add-ons.

I've tried installing flash player a dozen times, with both the instructions on the adobe page and the mozilla page. I'm running Fedora Core 11 with Mozilla 3.5.9. I've gotten "libflashplayer.so" and copied it to every "mozilla/plugins" directory on the drive. It does not work and is not listed when I bring up "tools/add-ons." One instruction said to copy "flashplayer.xpt" to the "mozilla/commponents" directory, but the download included no such file and I have no such directory. (Probably pertains to an older version.) I've tried downloading it with the .tar, .gzip, and yum; all with the same result. It doesn't work online and doesn't show up in my plug-ins.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Only time I've tried to install it.

I had a problem with Fedora 15-64bit + Firefox 64bit + flash player plugins. I finally found that the plugins must be put in: /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins.
I downloaded the 64-bit version of the flash plugins at : http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10_square.html Decompressed it and move the file libflashplayer.so to /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins (you need to be super user to do that). Restarted Firefox and it worked ! My guess is that if you use 32-bit plugins then you must put them in /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins-wrapped but I didn't try.
Arg ! It took me the whole evening to find that !

hI, bella
I also met this issue a few days ago and I finally find out how to transfer music from iPod to computer:
1. Plug your iPod in and wait for the computer to recognize it.
2. Open up 'My Computer' and under 'Devices With Removable Storage', double click and open apple iPod.
3. Click on 'Tools' at the top of the window and drag down to 'Folder Options'.
4. Under the 'View' tab, find the subfolder called 'Hidden files and folders'.
5. Select the option 'Show hidden files and folders'.
6. Click 'OK'.

HT201311 Can I use personal hotspot as wifi to connect AirPrint printer?

Can I use personal hotspot as wifi to connect AirPrint printer and print?
Thanks. Appreciate your help.

Yes, that should work at least temporarily. Some printers are not constantly looking for WiFi networks, however, so you'll have to make sure the hotspot is setup and active every time you turn your printer on.

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.

I'm currently using 3gs. My 'Personal Hotspot' option suddenly dissapear from my 'Settings'. How can i get my 'Personal Hotspot' option back?

i'm currently using 3gs. My 'Personal Hotspot' option suddenly dissapear from my 'Settings'. How can i get my 'Personal Hotspot' option back?

The iOS5 upgrade for the iphone allowed network operators to control the availability of the 'personal hotspot' feature. If your operator is one of those who charge extra for tethering (and most do) then by upgrading to ios5 you've facilitated them to remove the option for you.
Apple bowed to the demands of the opertators on this one.
I am with Tesco(O2) and as soon as I upgraded to ios5 I lost the 'personal hotspot' option.
I have the last laugh though; They cant control my Android phone so I put the Tesco mobile sim into that when I want to use tethering.
Get an Android phone or if you're in the UK use Three mobile who allow tethering.

How can I circumvent ATT's $50 a month fee to set up a personal hotspot using my iPhone 6?

How can I circumvent ATT's $50 a month fee to set up a personal hotspot using my iPhone 6?

AT&T does not do hotspots with unlimited data accounts. They are wanting you to change to a different account (I am assuming family plan) but there is no $50 fee per month for hotspot. You would be better served to go to an AT&T corporate store and do some rate comparisons.
There is no way to go around that limitation that can be discussed here. If you do stray elsewhere to do so keep in mind that if AT&T detects you going around the limitation it will get quite expensive.

Connecting to Personal Hotspot via Bluetooth?

Last night I discovered my daughter can connect her iPod Touch 5 (iOS 8.0.2) to my iPhone 5 (also iOS 8.0.2) using the Personal Hotspot function (via Bluetooth) even when Personal Hotspot is set to OFF on my phone. Is that really working as intended by Apple?
If she tries to connect via WIFI, she cannot unless I have the Personal Hotspot set to ON. OK good, that makes sense!
If she connects via Bluetooth though, she always sees my phone and if she selects that connection, it turns my Personal Hotspot on my phone from OFF to ON. That just seems odd to me. I'd prefer to restrict that. I have noticed that even if I change my password on the Personal Hotspot, it does not matter. If she selects that connection via Bluetooth, BOOM... It changes it on my phone from OFF to ON.
Anyone else notice this? Sure, I can turn off Bluetooth on my phone to stop it, but I use BT quite a bit for speakers and in my car. I usually prefer to leave it ON. She also uses BT for her wireless speaker.
IMO, Apple should change that to if I have my personal Hotspot set to OFF, it should not be visible at all unless I turn it ON (like it works over the wifi connection).

Personal hotspot is a carrier feature.

Lost connection to personal hotspot after upgrading iTunes

Hi Ladies and Gentlemen ,
Used to enjoy connecting my Mac Pro (Mac OS X 10.6.8) to personal hotspot through USB port (since I don't have WiFi card installed.
Was fantastic.
Received a message to upgrade iTunes ... I did ... and the joy has gone (Grrrr) .... Lost the USB connection to Personal Hotspot.
Now I have upgraded iTunes + iO7 ... still have the same problem ... iPhone 4S doesn't appear on the network via USB.
Help
Best regards.

" ... other things will show up with that name ..."
Well, the one thing I can think of is that your iPhone will show up with "that name" on iTunes' summary tab when you sync it. Also, if you receive any warning messages from iTunes on your computer, the messages will have that name.

TS2756 Cannot connect to Personal Hotspot iOS 7 iPhone 4

Hi. I have updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 7. Before, I have no problem in using Personal Hotspot. But after this upgrade, no one can connect to my Personal Hotspot. In my iPad, it keeps trying to connect to the hotspot for a long long time and cannot connect. In my HTC Android, it keeps on "Obtaining IP Adress". In my PC (USB Tethering), it says that the cable is unplugged.
I have several ways to solve this problem (like turn off - turn on mobile data, turn off - turn on iPhone, reset network setting) but nothing changed.
What can I do in this situation? Thanks in advance.

I am not sure I am right. I have iPhone4, iPad3 and iPhone5 of my friend. Both iPhones have already upgrade to iOS7,last update this morning. And my iPad is still using iOS 5.x. The problem is I cannot using USB connect Personal Hotspot from my devices. I think the correct issue may involve with iTunes not the version of iOS. It seems the problem was occurred after I have done update iTunes.
* I used iOS 7 beta and it's ok since I update iTunes ,then I have tried restore my iPhone to iOS 7.0.2.
** I connect iTunes from my Macbook.
*** I have try it on different of iOS.
**** I don't have issue with Personal Hotspot on WiFi but on Bluetooth,I've never used it.
If anyone has any ideas,please let me know.
Thanks

I can't connect my personal hotspot using wifi,I can able to find my iphone4 but it's just showing obtaing ip adress ??wat can I do for this problem??
