IOS 7.1.x tethering keeps defaulting to off

I use tethering from my (non jailbroken) iPhone as my main internet connection for my macbook air (10.9.4).
It used to be great - just plug in via usb and play.
But since iOS 7.1, the tethering option has defaulted to 'off' - when you go into settings to change it, you see "Personal tethering (off)" in the settings home screen... when you tap on personal tethering to change the setting, it immediately switches itself on. It's just really annoying...
Looks like a bug, but does anyone know of a fix?
No changes since updating to 7.1.1 or 7.1.2 or with updates on mac side.

Start basic and try resetting your iPhone by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
Try again to see if the problem persists.

  • Updated my iphone 3gs to ios 5 and now it keeps just shutting off and coming back on?

    I updated my iphones 3gs to ios 5 and now it just randomly shuts off and on. whats wrong with it?

    don't ask me why this worked, but it did for me last night.  In iTunes, where your device shows up on the left side, I double clicked on it.  It then allows you to change the name like you can for changing file/folder names.  I changed 1 letter on the name of the ipod and hit enter.  I then right clicked on the new ipod name and chose restore from backup.  My choices for backup was the original name of the ipod only and not the name i had just changed it to.  I told it to go ahead and backup from the old name figuring I would get the same results, but not the case.  It restored it with all app, music and pictures with one exception...all of the settings, email setup and information within the apps was lost.  Atleast that an easier fix than starting all over.  Hope this will work for you guys too with the same issue.

  • I tried to change my persona and firefox keeps defaulting to my old one before I updated my browser.Is there anyway to change this without uninstalling the whole browser? Because I'd like to keep all my bookmarks and such. Thanks

    I uninstalled all other personas besides the default and the one I want and it still goes back to the old persona unless I keep firefox on default. \The desired persona is a sports one and it keeps defaulting to a surfing one.

    Hi. The two user tips both describe a sequence of steps that should get your library from the point where it threatens to wipe data from your device to where it is syncing normally, while recovering as much information as possible. It may still be necessary to wipe and reload the device but this should only take place once all the data that can be recovered has been recovered.
    Doing step 1 of 8 and then complaining things aren't the way you want them to be yet strikes me as premature...
    Since you appear to have all your media content, and we are discussing an iPod classic, not an iOS device, the main worries are already taken care of. What's left is ratings, playcounts, playlist membership and checked status. Since your device holds only part of your library at best you could only recover the missing data for the content that is on the device using third party tools.
    Recreating the previous checked/unchecked status of every track in your library from where you are now may not be that easy. Syncing with selected playlists has many advantages, one of which would have been that you would have a named playlist that could have been retrieved by 3rd party software if you had used this method.
    You haven't explained what caused your problem in the first place, but if you have a Previous iTunes Libraries folder holding old copies of your iTunes database (generated with each iTunes update) then it would be possible to restore the most recent of these and then update the library with any changes in your media folder.
    BTW Apple doesn't offer free support for this kind of issue with iTunes.

  • Outgoing mail keeps defaulting to a secondary account rather than the account I sent the message from?

    I have a new MacBook Air. I have two google mail accounts set up in the mail app  - one primary account and one secondary account. For some reason my outgoing messages keep defaulting to the secondary account. Even when I create a new message or reply to a message from the primary account and have the primary account highlighted, replies keep coming back to the secondary account. When I hover over the outgoing email address, it looks like it was sent from the secondary account even though I sent it from the primary account. I've gone into settings and looked at everything, and I still can't figure out what is causing this problem.

    i know it may sound crazy, but it does.
    I sent the same email out through my outlook and the person received the correct version. There is an issue with my Mail but thanks for the advice tho.

  • How can I delete permanently a old Apple id?  my devises keep defaulting to my old id.

    problem: 
    I originally had a Apple ID that used a different email address.  I had to delete that email address as it was not accessable anymore.  I created a second Apple ID.
    But my iphone keeps defaulting and asking me for the password for my first apple id.  I have the new Apple id on my iphone, however some programs must be still linked to the first account.  It is driving me nuts.  How can I change the settings on the apps using the first apple ID, or somehow delete that account permanently. 
    I am using a iPhone 5 and also a Ipad mini that I bought this year.  Both are getting the messages.  Arrrgh. 
    my iPhone 5 will not back up to the cloud, even though I have the account under my settings set for the second account. 
    Appreciate if anyone can help me here. Thanks!
    Donna

    an Apple ID cannot be deleted.
    The easiest solution would be to delete all the apps you downloaded with the old Apple ID and downloading them again with the new one, because everytime there are updates available for the apps you downloaded with the old one, you'll need to log in with the old one.
    Logging in with the old one is still possible(provided you still have the password), regardless whether the emailaddress exists or not anymore, for an Apple ID it's just a username.

  • FF keeps defaulting to the wrong HTTP proxy server and port. I have to change it every time I attempt to open Firefox? How do I change it for good?

    The manual proxy settings keep defaulting to the wrong HTTP and port. This has caused me many hours of anguish. It works fine when I correct the settings but after you log off and then come back it has to be changed again. Is there anyway to fix it? Or can I go back to the previous version because 4 definitely has some issues (other than this one). I could live with it if I had to but I'm not the only one who uses this computer and they don't know how to make the changes. Thanks and I would definitely appreciate an answer.

  • What's Happening? Airport Scanning keep defaulting to the wrong place

    Hello,
    Recently my internet went down and I had to reset my router and modem to increase my speed. Ever since my airport keeps defaulting to the wrong location and I have to keep opening it up and going to my airport name but it won't. I've unchecked the check local networks box but have no idea what else to try.
    This is only happening on my Macbook and my iMac and older Powerbook seem to be fine. How can I fix this?

    Smokerz,
    Thanks, I did have my preferred network up top but have tried again and applied changes. We'll see if it sticks. For now I just keep moving it to my preferred airport every time it goes to another one.

  • My computer keeps defaulting from a GB format to US format keyboard with a US flag in the top bar. How do I get it to go back to a GB flag and stay with a GB flag?

    My computer keeps defaulting from a GB format to US format keyboard with a US flag in the top bar. How do I get it to go back to a GB flag and stay with a GB flag?
    This only started 2 days ago.
    I have seen much on line as this seems to be a common problem, however none of the suggestions posted seem to work.

    Thanks Drew,
    On clicking the US flag I had previously then unchecked the US box. It has rechecked itself, and I have unchecked it again. The GB English remains checked.
    The flag icon has now gone completely from the top bar (just replaced with character and keyboard viewer) -but that's fine. That's different to previous attempts to fix the issue.
    Hopefully now I will remain able to type a £ sign on the keyboard rather than get the criss-cross symbol. It may well default back in about an hour (which is what has been happening since this started 2 days ago). If it does I'll come back on here. Many thanks in the mean time for your help.

  • I am trying to upgrade my iPhone 4 to the latest iOS via iTunes, but I keep getting a message saying that an error [-5000] occurred and continuing will delete all content on my iPhone. What's the solution?

    I am trying to upgrade my iPhone 4 to the latest iOS via iTunes, but I keep getting a message saying that an error [-5000] occurred and continuing will delete all content on my iPhone. What's the solution?

    okay I've done everything regarding the transfer process (via file>transfer purchases) and syncing, so everything on my iPhone device seems to have been transferred to my iMac... however, I still get that message ("There are purchased items on the iPhone..."), trying to upgrade the iOS Have tried several times the same process of hitting transfer purchases via file, but nothing seems to make that message go away! Would have been nice to know which files I actually do need to transfer, which I don't get any info on of course...
    Starting to get really annoying this thing.. Any smart suggestions what's going on?

  • I have an iPhone 4 and the iOS 4.3.5 download keeps failing - error states its corrupted.

    I have an iPhone 4 and the iOS 4.3.5 download keeps failing.  It downloads then I get a message stating that the download was corrupted and couldn't be installed.  I've tried it with bitdefender switched off.  I've tried it with it in airplane mode.  My partner has tried to update their iPhone on a different computer to mine and is also getting the same problem and error message.  Help!

    That's exactly right.  And since you have a MacBook Air (as I do), that means the synching should occur just fine (if you've set it up right in iTunes).  In other words, once you actually do the update, the iTunes on your MacBook Air will re-sync your photos back to your iPhone.
    Basically, the process is that your iPhone gets backed up, wiped clean, then the new iOS version gets installed, then the backup gets restored.  That will restore everything in the article above, which does not include your photos.  But the sync process that happens after the iOS installation would restore your photos from iPhoto given you've set it up that way in iTunes.
    When you have your iPhone plugged into iTunes, while looking at the iPhone's summary page, click "Photos" on the right side of iTunes to see how you have your sync set up.
    Regardless, it sounds like you'll be fine!  Your photos will wind up in iPhoto once you place them there.  They will be safe there.
