i cant use my personal hotspot

Hello Glen,
It sounds like your Personal Hotspot is not functioning. I would try the troubleshooting from this article named:
iOS: Troubleshooting Personal Hotspot
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2756
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.
There is additional troubleshooting to be done toward the bottom if needed, depending on the situation you are seeing as well.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Sterling

  • My location services are frozen. Can I use my personal hotspot to backup and restore my phone?

    My iPhone 4S was upgraded from the 6.1.2 to 6.1.3 and I expierenced a major malfunction. Immeadily after the upgrade my daughter installed a 4 shared app then she went on line and downloaded AppCaster. The AppCaster crashed then my google latitude app crashed. Now my location services are frozen. Is there any way I can back up and restore my iPhone using my personal hotspot. I can't get to a public hotspot to use my icloud backup?

    one cant use the personal hotspot feature to restore the device coz the phone will d/connect as soon the restoration process is underway. you will need a PC/laptop t ocomplete this process,in case you dont then ,maybe go to the apple store and request them to restore it for you from icloud

  • Using my personal hotspot to connect and set my ipad

    Hi folks im having trouble using my personal hotspot to connect and set my ipad, the phone tells me thge ipad is connected to it via the hotspot but on the Ipad its founbd my phone and the little chain link hasd gone blue but i cant advance from this point to connect to itunes

    Yes, the iPad will download app updates over your iPhone's cellular data. I just tested it.  I was tethered to my iPhone using Bluetooth, which I figured to make it even less likely to do so, but as soon as I turned on auto updates it started updating apps.
    It's not obvious at first either. You can't see any progress bars. You will just notice  the number of pending updates gradually decreasing, and in the App Store "Updates" section you will notice apps appear as updated on this date.

  • I can no longer connect to the internet on my laptop using my personal hotspot. Stopped working all of a sudden. Any tips as to why?

    I used to always use my personal hotspot and connect to the internet on my laptop. Then one day it stopped working. I updated my phone so my hotspot password changed, so I changed that in the properties. It now says it's connected to my iPhone and there's internet access, but when I try to do anything it says not connected.

    It shows a connection. When using wifi n USB. I don't know how to connect using Bluetooth seeing what it says to do is totally different from my computer.
    I do have a connection but I can only connect to some sites, I tried YouTube n nfl.com n they both worked but google, hotmail n Facebook said couldn't connect.
    I tried using safari on my computer n like explorer I could only connect to a few different websites.

  • Using the personal hotspot feature on the iPhone 5, I am able to connect to the internet.  We also use Juniper NCP client to access our system remote.  A VPN connection is created, but I am unable to access servers on our network.  This works on iPhone 4.

    Using the personal hotspot feature on the iPhone 5, I am able to connect to the internet.  We also use Juniper NCP client to access our local system from a remote location.  A VPN connection is created, but I am unable to access servers in our network.  This same functionality works using my colleagues iPhone 4.
    Both phones are running iOS 6.1.3.  I tried to reset network settings, but still unable to ping servers in our network.  This is a feature that our sales team relies heavily on when out of the office.  Hoping someone has some suggestions on what is different between the 2 phones.

    Hi,
    Generally, this issue should be related with something called split tunneling, since you’re using a F5 vpn client, you need to look for something related to split tunneling in the F5 VPN client's documentations.
    Here is an example, share it with you as a reference.

  • HT204023 I've been using my personal hotspot between my iPhone and iPad, but I don't believe I've changed anything with my phone contract, will I be charged on my next bill?

    I've been using my personal hotspot between my iPhone and iPad, but I don't believe I've changed anything with my phone contract, will I be charged on my next bill?

    Depends on whether your carrier supports Personal Hotspot & how/if they charge for this feature. Some carriers include Personal Hotspot as part of your data plan, some require it be provisioned on your account. Contact your carrier & see what their requirements are. The fact that you have the Personal Hotspot setting indicates your carrier supports this feature.

  • How can I download or use my personal hotspot?

    I want to use my personal hotspot in this iPad? How?

    Your tagline shows that you have an iPad2. You can't use the personal hotspot with the second generation iPad.

  • HT204023 i cant find the personal hotspot on my iphone

    i cant find the personal hotspot on my iphone

    Fine, I understand that this is not an Apple-run or -sponsored site. But if you read through this and related discussions you are bound to find that the rollback of functional capabilities through the last 8-9 months of IPhone development has bewildered users. Perhaps the main reason personal hotspot is interesting is that it crops up in discussions about the sudden death of serious Bluetooth capability - unannounced and unacknowledged. It seems that some users have succeeded in getting some measure of the suddenly missing functionality back by fiddling with PH. Others do not find that option and remain unaided by serious information from Apple.
    Given that situation, and I think it has lots of parallels in other areas of IPhonery, it would have been natural for Apple to take an interest and say something, if not in this Forum, why not more publicly. The failure to do so is what I criticize, in particular because it seems calculated. And to feel that you, as a consumer, are being taken for a ride makes you feel like a mug, a poor, helpless moron, ready to be conned. That is not a feeling that breeds loyalty and contentment. Several of the contributions to the Forums express that feeling with less restraint than I have done.
    To boot, when I have spoken to Apple support personnel they are so completely unaware of the issues that they cannot possibly be meant to assist us punters in understanding what goes on. Now, isn't that precisely what a great con is about?

  • When I am using my Personal Hotspot, my phone will randomly restart.

    I use my personal hotspot every day, all day while I'm at work because there's no WiFi at work and I have to bring my laptop. I have been using it every day, all day for the past 3 weeks with no problem. Since Friday, however, it will randomly restart whil the Hotspot is on. Of course, it's extremeley frustrating and annoying.
    If anyone could help me figure it out, that would be great! THanks!

    Basics from the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new device.  Have ANY of these been tried?

  • HT204023 Can you use the personal hotspot on the iPhone 4 with an iPad 4th generation ?

    Can I use the personal hotspot on the iPhone 4 with the iPad 4th generation which only has wifi ?
    Thank you in advance for your help :)

    Unlimited Internet is different than the carrier supporting the hotspot feature. I don't have an iPhone or an iPad with cellular. My limited knowledge about the hotspot is from reading support articles about it and from what I have read here in the forum.
    I don't know that circumstances with the carriers have changed, but initially, the was an extra cost to enable the hotspot feature on the iDevice. I believe that Verizon was charging an additional $20 per month for the feature. Check out the support article that I posted above.
    This is copied from that article that I posted above.
    Note: If you do not see the option for Personal Hotspot, confirm with your carrier that this feature is supported and your wireless plan is configured for Personal Hotspot. For additional troubleshooting, see this article.

  • TS2756 Using the personal hotspot

    I just got an iPhone 5 and want to disconnect internet service since I can use the personal hotspot.  My friend's laptop will connect, but mine won't unless I use the USB connection.  Any thoughts?

    Hey rjnelson,
    I see you came from the iOS: Troubleshooting Personal Hotspot, which is applicable to the issue you describe. If you haven't already, I would run through the steps within that article, specifically the following:
    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.

  • TS2756 How do I connect my new iPad to my iPhone 4S using my personal hotspot?. I put my pass word In put will not work

    How do I connect my new iPad to my iphone4s using my personal hotspot on my iPhone.
    It will take my pass word.

    when you switch your hotspot on your phone you will see a user password - when you switch your laptop on and search for your iphone connect and you will be asked for the user password once you enter it and click connect you will link the two devices and they will work together as long as you have a good signal and good data allowance you shouldn't have any issues
