I have a MB (10.6.8) and I cant get my 4Gs(iOS7) to tether. Why?

I have updated all software and it stopped working. I've never had an issue before. Can anyone help?

The computer may need to look to see if there are any system update
downloads available to it, now you have a later iOS to attempt to sync
with in the peripherial devices; the OS X may be marginalized now as
that is older. Your device may need to see at least  Lion OS X 10.7.5.
But I am not certain about this aspect of why you can't sync them.
Your computer may need to be running a newer OS X system version
in order to connect with the later iOS7 in your other device(s) and as
such, that updated iPhone or iPad, etc would not be able to interface
with the older OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.8 anymore.
While I wasn't sure where to look, there undoubtably is a page where
System Requirements for use of Mac OS X (to connect with) iOS7 exist.
{And I did look awhile in Apple Support; but didn't try a google search.}
There is a fairly OK support site for the iPhone. Didn't see the minimum
system spec for OS X to interface or sync with iOS7 devices so far.

You may be able to check the specs of the MacBook to see if it can use
a newer system than Snow Leopard; however if it is an early MacBook
it may balk at Mavericks 10.9.2, or not really like it at all. And expect an
older MacBook to be not a great candidate. A MacBook5.1 or later may
be able to do OK with Mavericks, if given a RAM upgrade, too.
A marginal condition may exist if you can upgrade to Lion, but I do not
know if iOS7 could see or sync with Mac OS X 10.7.5 in your MacBook.
Or how long that may be expected to work, if it could right now. Lion was
said to be a purchase from the Mac App Store; check into details, though.
PS: one item you could try, if the System Specs match & your iPhone iOS 7
should still be in sync with Snow Leopard 10.6.8, is to get and reinstall the
Snow Leopard 10.6.8 Combo Update v1.1 on top of the existing OS X.
Hopefully you can get it to work.
Good luck & happy computing!
