Ipad Mini and Personal Hotspot Missing

Dear all....
I know there have been many many discussions re this in the past but I can't seem to find a solution anywhere. I have also spoken to EE (my 4G Carrier) and Apple but with no luck....
I have recently got a new iPad Mini 64Gb Wireless/Cellular device and no matter what I do I can't get the 'Personal Hotspot' to appear on the main setting menu. I have tried the following:-
Restored the iPad - about 10 times!
Spoken to EE - they say it is an Apple issue
Spoken to Apple - they say it is a Carrier issue
Cleared all Network settings - again about 15 times
Messed around with LTE settings.... and most other setting too...
Had the Carrier delete my account (settings) and reset
Had the carrier change my tariff and reset my iPad to recieve them
If this helps I also have no "Network" under "Settings>General" like i use to on my iPad 1
All I do have is "Settings>Mobile Data" and "Settings>Carrier" but neither have any Personal Hotspot setting below them.....
Finally I have confirmed with my carrier that my account is enabled for teathering / hotspot use and "it should work"
PLEASE HELP!!

Just signed up to a data tariff with T-Mobile, pretty much EE!! Was told that I needed to plug the ipad mini into itunes for it to update carrier settings. So far nothing.
Grrrr. The option was there eariler today when I had another carrier's SIM in the device.
WOuld really like to get an answer to this too!!!

Will the AT&T iPad Mini support Personal Hotspot?

Can't seem to find any literature online confirming or denying whether or not the AT&T iPad Mini will support personal hotspot. Anyone know?

I just finished chatting with an AT&T representative. She typed, "You would have to make your phone a personal hotspot and have your iPad Mini Tethered."
When I pressed further, she replied with standard sales filler,
"The personal hotspot feature on Smartphone provides a way to share your Internet connection with other Wi-Fi capable devices. With this on your account you would be able to create your own hotspot at locations convenient to you. To be able to use this feature you would need to have the 5GB data plan for $50.00 added to your account and the devices that connect to the hotspot would also be using from the 5GB."
and then said that "Currently does not support Personal Hotspot on the iPad Mini."
This is very disappointing, especially as Verizon *does* offer Personal Hotspot for the iPad mini and the Personal Hotspot button does appear in the Cellular Data page. Interestingly, the View Account button now says that my account type does not support the View Account feature and advises me to call for assistance. Hmmm, no way to add additional data from the iPad mini itself? That seems wrong.

I just update my ipad 3 software to ios 8 , on the setting it was icon down to Cellular called Personal Hotspot , and i lost personal hotspot after updating , how or where i can find it again ?

Hello SHenoudabak,
It sounds like you are trying to find the Personal Hotspot option in your Settings. You were close. The option is directly under Settings, and not in the Cellular section of Settings:
Go to Settings > Personal Hotspot

Why can't I connect my iPhone 4 to my iPad 2 using personal hotspot in iPhone 4

I have iPhone 4, iPhone 5 and iPad 2. Since I use cellular data, sometimes I put one of my sims into iPhone 5 and use personal hotspot to serve as a router. The iPad 2 works perfectly but if I turn on the feature in iPhone 4, neither the iPhone 5 nor the iPad 2 can connect to the iPhone 4. It detects the iPhone 4 but doesn't connect to it. Is there anything I'm missing or is iPhone 4 personal hotspot is not programmed to connect to my other two devices using this feature.

You cannot recover your loss unless you insure your device for such loss. It is not covered by your warranty.

Ipad 2 loosing personal hotspot link to iphone 4

The issue is;
I have a iphone 4 from verizon. I have a ipad 2 wifi, no 3g. I bring up the personal hotspot on the iphone and connect the ipad via wifi. The link connection appears and then starts to blink randomly and disconnects in a matter of a few seconds. There are time I have a connection for about 30 seconds and then it is gone al together. I have tried all of the regular steps, forgetting the network, reset network settings, etc. short of restoring the devices, which I find hard to believe is a solution to the issue. Both devices have the most up to date software, both devices are able to connect to other wifi sources. The hotspot can be seen by other devices and can support attachments to other devices, laptops etc. Since both devices can connect to other wifi sources I have a hard time believing its a wifi issue. I'm starting to think this is a proximity issue, or signal interference.

I think you are running into the following issue.
From: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2756
Note: If you leave the Personal Hotspot screen or put iPhone to sleep, iPhone only broadcasts the Wi-Fi network for an additional 90 seconds. If no devices join the Wi-Fi network during that time, iPhone 4 stops broadcasting your Wi-Fi network. You can start broadcasting your Wi-Fi network again by tapping Settings > Personal Hotspot.
So, if I understand correctly, if you you leave your iphone on the the Settings --> Personal Hotspot screen, than it shouldn't disconnect.

When connecting ipad to iPhones personal hotspot via wifi it is showin up as 2 connections when only 1 device is connected. Is someone hacking my phone?

When connecting ipad to my iPhones personal hotspot via wifi it is showin up as 2 connections when only 1 device is connected. Is someone hacking my phone? I only figured out I had a problem when my partner did the exact same set up and it showed up as only 1 device connected. I have changed the password and turned it off/on and etc. the really weird thing is now when my ipad is turned off and I turn my iphone personal hotspot on it shows up with 1 connection (when I don't have anything connected) for about 5 secs and then goes off and then 1 device connected for about 5 secs and then back off. This just keeps going on and off. What is going on. Could my phone have a bug or be hacked. Please help as it is kinda freaking me out. Thanks.

Hello asrt17,
This may occur if your iPhone is connected to your computer via USB, as it will automatically share the connection via USB.
iOS: Troubleshooting Personal Hotspot
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2756
When Personal Hotspot is enabled, your iOS device automatically shares your Internet connection with your computer when connected using USB.
Example: When you connect iPhone to your computer to charge or sync with iTunes. To avoid unnecessary data charges, turn off Personal Hotspot when not in use.

Allen

IPad Mini Lost

Hi There,
I came from Brisbane to Malaysia today morning. But I forgot my iPad mini in the flight. I have lodged a report but the staff didn't find it. Apparently it looks like someone (may be passenger) replaced my iPad with local gadget.
Is it possible to disable iPad thru Apple Support so that user don't use it?
Thanks,
Rajendra

If the iPad was running iOS 7, the thief/finder will not ever be able to use it.

Ipad mini lost wifi connectivity after 8.1

Can no longer connect on my ipad mini to wifi after installing 8.1. Tried all the recommended fixes such as rebooting, resetting network settings, even resetting the ipad. Nothing.

AFter total restore, it finally came back. I don't know why except I think it was reading my ip address wrong. I had deleted what was there and finally it just came back.

IPad mini lost sent email sound

The "sent" email sound-swoosh-is no longer heard on the mini. Other sounds like music are fine. The sound settings show mail is set up with the proper sounds, but when sending mail--no sound.

Make sure sound is not muted (little bell)
