IOS 8 Instant Hotspot doesn't work!

HI, I have an iPhone 5S and into on sprint running iOS 8. My iPad Air which is wifi only, is on iOS 8 also. I cannot find the option for personal hotspot in my phone. Where can I find it?

I setup an appointment with the Genius Bar. By the time I got there, I had also determined that Mail, Siri, and many other basic items did not work. Possibility that restoring or syncing had introduced corrupt executables (apps) that caused the issue. Anyhow, the phone's software (possibly even OS) was very ill.
Resolved at the Genius bar by completely resetting the phone and treating as a new iPhone rather than restoring from backup. Unfortunately, this means having to reinstall all my apps, setup their data (logins, etc.), re-downloading music & photos, re-establishing e-mail accounts (including secure ones that need special authorization information from IT)...

  • Personal Hotspot doesn't work correctly

    After upgrading my iPhone 4 and iPad 2 (Wi-Fi only) to iOS 5, the Personal Hotspot doesn't work the same way as it was in iOS 4. In iOS 4, I had the Personal Hotspot always turned on on iPhone and whenever I took the iPad and wanted to connect to internet, it connected almost immediately and automaticaly to the iPhone. Now (in iOS 5), I have the personal hotspot turned on again, however, the iPad even doesn't see the iPhone wi-fi. I have to unlock the iPhone, go to the settings (change nothing!) and than the iPad see the wi-fi. It is not automatical. Personal Hotspot was the reason, why I bought only wi-fi iPad and now it doesn't work well. Do you have any idea what to do?
    Thanks

    I have similar but mind bobbling issue. Using iPhone 4s with os5.01. Turned on hotspot, on the cellular data, tried reset network setting to factory default but my hotspot signal is not discoverable by my ipad2, laptop and other wireless devices.
    Went to office, get my friend using iPhone 4 running os4.35 to turn on hotspot. Immediatedly found his hotspot in my ipad2 and the funny thing is that my hotspot signal from 4s suddenly pop up in my ipad2 wifi network, appeared in my laptop and other nokia phone without me touching anything on my 4s. Able to connect and work well. But as soon as I turn off the hotspot, it became not discoverable again when turned on. Tried resetting the network setting but nothing worked.
    The next day, the hotspot signal become discoverable again as soon as my friend turn on his hotspot. It seemed that my hotspot signal need a another hotspot signal to appear. This is ridiculous. If my friend is not around, I will never get my hotspot connected to my iPad2 or make use of this capability.
    Sounds funny but this is true and proven. It has been a week now that I keep repeating the same thing in office. I tried not turning off the hotspot after it is discoverable but it is draining off the battery faster.
    Any tips you can share....

  • Instant Hotspot doesn't "just work."

    I have a rMBP15 and a iPhone 6 Plus and want the mac to tether to the iPhone using Instant Hotspot. It does... sometimes. Then it doesn't and I have to go through a seemingly endless cycle of shutting down and rebooting, deleting and reestablishing network settings, etc., before it starts working again fairly dependably, until it stops working again. It's not working right now, and the shutting down and rebooting or both devices, and the turning off and on of WiFi and Bluetooth on both devices, has not turned it on again. So at this point I typically have to bring out the big guns of reseting network settings and forgetting networks and setting everything up from scratch. Which is a royal pain. What's going on?

    More info: Both devices have the latest OS versions as of today. I can pair the rMBP15 and iP6+ and then manually tether via Personal Hotspot, so there is no problem with the hardware, cellular carrier, or old software.

  • Ios 6 orientation doesn't work and boot time increases. How to solve these issues for dummy? I don't understand code and strings suggested by others.

    I just upgraded from ios 5 to ios 6 on my ipad2. Now orientation doesn't work properly. Boot time increase, it takes longer time to boot. Is there any configuration to solve these issues? I can't understand the explanation with code and strings found on google to solve the orientation issue. Any easy configuration for dummy ?

    It supports well for ios 5. I couldn't remember (5.x.x) exactly but I always keeps update for ios5 and the abnormality starts when I upgraded to ios 6.

  • Voice Chat on Yahoo Instant Messenger doesn't work on my HP though it does on my work desktop.

    My Yahoo Instant Messenger doesn't allow voice chat on my laptop, though I can use it on my work desktop.  I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling with no success.  I'm thinking there may be a hardware issue, an update missing or something.

    No idea what  "My apple ID account doesn't work on my itunes but it does on the web" means.
    Please explain

    It doesn't appear that you created a network from your Mac.
    Why?
    You don't have an ad-hoc network in your screen shot.

  • IMovie '14: Instant replay,  doesn't work

    In iMovie '14, when I have selected a clip, I can select " modify" and "instant replay", but the selection of "100%" "50%" etc stays in grey.
    So I cannot select this modification to the clip.
    Also changing of speed isn't possible.
    See the picture below and see the grey numbers.
    What do I wrong? I follow exact the iMovie '14 tutorial (App Store) to select, cut a.s.o.

  • IPhone 4 iOS 4.2 doesn't work with Alpine iDA-X001

    I just get an error message on the head unit saying 'ipod not supported' and the iphone comes up saying 'device not made to work with iPhone' it's a different message to the one that always says' not optimized for iphone, may cause interference'
    It worked fine on iOS 4.1 and below, never had a problem but started doing this weird dropping out and crackling thing when i upgraded to 4.1.2.
    I hope apple can fix this cos I can't listen to music anymore in the car

    There are a bunch of us that can't use our car audio headunits via usb. And a large subset with the iDA-X001 - I'm in your boat as well: crackling distortion on the last update, and now nothing, just an ipod error message.
    I tried switching the cable, tried all the suggestions for resetting the phone and headunit, and plugging the cable in at different times. Even tried restoring the phone. I still get nothing but "ipod error" on my iDA-X001. I am back to using my Nano until they get this sorted. I can only hope that whatever they broke with the last update will be fixed in iOS4.3, which is rumored to be out in December.
