    Iphone 4 personal Hotspot not working after update to IOS 7.1 India BSNL cellular

    BSNL is not a supported carrier. Personal Hotspot requires carrier support and provisioning of the account to enable it. iOS 7.1 disabled the ability to manually configure Personal Hotspot on unsupported carriers.

  • Personal Hotspot not working with my MacBook Air

    Hi Community
    So I have an iPhone 6 and a MacBook Air (Mid2013), who both meet the requirements for the new personal Hotspot in iOS8.
    I connected the 2 devices and it worked for some time. I could activate the personal hotspot without even touching the phone. I was very happy, but suddenly it stopped working, although I didn't install a new update on any of the two devices (both are still up to date). At some point, I had to turn the hotspot on manually to get it working, but now, the only way to connect to my hotspot, is to start diagnostics and connect trough that window.
    The bluetooth connection works without a problem& my iPhone hotspot works perfectly with my iPad 3.
    I tried everything, someone wrote on a website that the iCloud might me the problem, so I disconnected both devices from iCloud and reconnected afterwards. It worked exactly once after that. Then, my MacBook kept saying that the personal hotspot could not be activated (even if I activated the hotspot manually).
    Thanks for every kind of help, I'm super frustrated

  • Personal hotspot not working with ios6?

    Anyone else having issues? In my general setting tab, "personal hotspot" settings is not listed anymore.

    It's under the General >Cellular setting now.

  • Personal hotspot stopped working on iphone 6, ios 8

    My personal hotspot on AT&T shows up and shows it turns on, but it's not really there.  It was working and then stopped for no reason.  All the buttons look ok, but there's no hotspot now.

    Try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose any data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches.
    If still no luck, check if there are any carrier updates:
    iOS: Updating your carrier settings
    If this does not help, resetting the network settings in Settings/General/Reset would be the next step.

  • Personal hotspot not working after upgrading to ios7

    Personal hotspot not working after upgrading to ios7

    I was having this problem (iphone 5 wouldn't work as hotspot for my PC laptop) and had tried everything suggested on these message boards, so I finally went to the Apple Genius Bar and they fixed it for me.  Here's what they did:
    1) Turned the Hotspot off on my iphone
    2) Went to the Control Panel on my laptop to "Network and Internet" > "Network and Sharing Center" > "Manage Wireless Networks" (on the left navigation panel) and deleted my iphone from the list of WiFi connections I've attempted.
    3) Flipped the manual WiFi switch on my laptop to Off and then back On again (to reset it)
    4) Turned the Hotspot on my iphone back on
    After that, when I tried to connect, it worked.  Hope this works for someone else.

  • Appletv remote app and airplay not working with iphone 4S

    I have the latest appleTV.  I have the remote app loaded onto my ipad3 and iphone 4S.  The app is not working with iphone 4S, nor do I get the airplay icon, hence I can't mirrior my phone on appleTV.  It used to work.  I have deleted and reloaded the app, and still nothing.  It worked fined until a month ago or so.  I have enabled home sharing.
    The app and airlplay are working just fine with the ipad3.  I have the ipad and appleTV hooked up to my router using 5Ghz, and the iphone only connects to the 2Ghz network on the same router.  I don't think this is the issue, because it worked before.
    Also, when I click on the remote app on the iphone, to add an itunes library, a code pops up on the phone, which I enter into itunes on my Win7 PC.  Nothing seems happed on the computer when I enter the code.  Could this have anything to do with recent appleTV or itunes updates?  Any possible solutions?

    It seems like I am having the same problem.
    I have the latest AppleTV 1080, imac 27", ipad, ipad2, 2 iphone 4, all with the latest iOS. After I have the AppleTV connected, a few problems showed up:
    (1) ipad plus iphones cannot airplay photo to AppleTV. After the play button and the grey screen displayed "the playing msg on AppleTV", nothing happened. it is the same for ipad/iphone.
    (2) iMac not Airplay to AppleTV
    (3) Airplay Mirroring not working
    The following are done:
    - Home sharing enabled
    - To test the devices are connected. I set a passowrd for Airplay and the ipad/iphone both requested for it so they are network and devices are ok

  • $80 Apple in-ear headphones not working with iPhone 4

    I spent $80 on a pair of in ear headphones and they do not work with iPhone 4. I can listen to music and talk but the volume controls are completely nonfunctional. So I used them on my friends 3GS and they work fine. How can Apple come out with a new phone that wont work with their own products? I used to love Apple until this F@#$ing iPhone 4 came out.

    According to Apple, they should work with the 4... http://store.apple.com/us/product/MA850G/A?fnode=MTY1NDA1MA&mco=MTM3NTM0Mjg

  • AirPlay does not work with iPhone 4 s or iPad.Remote doesn´t work as well

    AirPlay does not work with iPhone 4 s or iPad.Remote doesn´t work as well.
    WLAN is working, I can use Youtube on my AppleTV, but I can´t connect to my computer or use airplay on my iPhone or iPad.

    Something is not configured correctly that is creating issues with your AppleTV.  You can disconnect it from the TV and power, and then plug it into your computer with a micro-USB cable.  After launching iTunes on your computer, you will be able to restore it to default settings and upgrade the software.

  • Personal Hotspot not working between iPad Mini and iPhone 6 Plus

    The personal hotspot function between my iPad Mini and iPhone 5C worked perfectly.
    I am now using an iPhone 6 Plus with the same iPad Mini and cannot establish a connection at all.
    Bluetooth and Wifi are enabled on both devices and the iPad says it has found my phone, displays the signal strength, 4G, battery remaining and 2 linked circles.
    When I choose that hotspot it tries to connect then just keeps saying "Remote Hotspot Failure. Unable to start Personal Hotspot. Stuart's iPhone 6Plus"
    Please help!

  • Personal hotspot not working in windows after hiberation

    At times after I recover my PC from hiberation, personal hotspot for my PC to surf web thru my iphone will no longer function. But charging and sync with iTunes will still be functioning. The only way to get personal hotspot to work again is to reboot my PC. This is really frustrating as Windows takes a long time to reboot.
    Thus, may I know what is or are the service(s) required by the personal hotspot to work? I can simply restart the service instead of rebooting windows instead.
    Thanks,
    Boon Hong.

    same case for my iphone 4 GSM (Hong Kong), my personal hotspot works at ios 7.0.4 but fails at 7.1 as APN cannot be set as described above. Hope Apple Support can help. My Carrier is PCCW-HKT (Hong Kong), which is not a registered carrier
