IPhone 3S and personal hotspot

Can my iPhone 3S be used as a personal hotspot for my iPad 2 and my Dell laptop?

Hi,
Go to the Settings>General>Bluetooth and PAIR both devices to each other.... THAT'S IT! Simple...
I hope this helps you. Haven't tried pairing my laptop yet but no reason why this shouldn't work the same if your laptop has Bluetooth.

Ipad2, iPhone 3GS and personal hotspot

I have iPhone 3GS and ipad2 and have iOS 4.3.1 on these devices. I was wondering what's the procedure to connect these two devices using personal hotspot feature of iOS.
I'm able to connect my laptop and my phone using the is feature successfully.
I would like to know how I can connect my phone with my iPad using personal hotspot feature.
Thanks in advance

How are you connecting your laptop to your phone? USB or BT?

Why can't I establish a VPN connection using my iPhone 4's personal hotspot?

Hello everybody,
I want to access our company's network with my Mac Book Pro using my iPhone 4's 3G connection, but unfortunately it simply won't work. Here is what I can do:
- I can establish a VPN connection from my MacBook Pro using my home (or some other) WiFi and access the company network.
- I can establish a VPN connection on my iPhone 4 using 3G and access the company network on my iPhone 4.
- I can use my iPhone 4's personal hotspot (sharing its 3G connection) with my MacBook Pro and surf the Web.
what I can't do is:
- establish a VPN connection on my MacBook Pro when connected to the internet via the iPhone's personal hotspot. (connection times out)
- access the company's network on my MacBook Pro using the personal hotspot, when the iPhone's VPN connection is ON.
The VPN is an encrypted PPTP connection, with username and password.
Is this a known issue, and, if so, is there any way to solve this?
Thanks in advance!
Cheers
Diego

i'm connecting to the iPhone's hotspot using WiFi

IPad with Cellular v with WiFi if my iphone has a personal hotspot?

Giving an iPad Air as a Christmas gift. Do I need to pay extra for an iPad with cellular service if I have an iPhone with a personal hotspot? If not, are there any advantages in paying the extra for the cellular v WiFi iPad?

The only advantage I can think of is if the phone contract's data plan is limited. Then an iPad data plan would provide more MBs. I used to have ipads with cellular available, but now that I have an iphone with a hotspot feature, and the fact that I rarely use the hotspot, I opted for wifi only ipad.

I phone 4s ... Unable to use 3G .. And personal hotspot is constantly loading? Any advice?

How to fix iTunes 10.6 iPhone's USB Personal Hotspot problem

I'd updated iTunes to 10.6 and iOS to 5.1 this morning and found out that my iPhone 4S's Personal Hotspot using USB was never connected. Even before updating iOS to 5.1, installing iTunes 10.6 causes the usb hotspot on iOS 5.0.1. iPhone 4S iOS 5.1 usb hotspot is still working on my PC with iTunes 10.5.3.
Is this happened to anyone else?

Same problem for me. iPhone 3GS running iOS 5.1 with iTunes 10.6, and I'm no longer able to use Personal Hotspot (tethering) via USB, which worked fine last week with the previous versions (iOS 5.0.1 and iTunes 10.5.3). Bluetooth tethering is fine with iOS 5.1 and iTunes 10.6.
Some additional data points which I haven't seen mentioned yet:
1. I'm running Mac OS X 10.6.8, so the problem is not unique to iTunes 10.6 running on Lion.
2. I tried restarting my Mac, in case the driver installed by the iTunes update hadn't loaded correctly. It didn't help.
3. I tried my iPhone with another Mac (also Mac OS X 10.6.8) which was still running iTunes 10.5.3 and had never used an iPhone for tethering. On connection via USB, the Mac reported that it had found a new network interface. I went into System Preferences and did an "Apply" to confirm the change to network preferences, and ensured there were no other active network connections. iPhone was listed as a network interface, with a red status indicator, and the USB tethering connection didn't work.
Combined with evidence earlier in this thread, this strongly suggests the problem is with iOS 5.1 running on any iPhone model, and is independent of the iTunes and Mac OS X version. maclucassen's suggestion of testing tethering using an iPhone running iOS 5.0.1 with a Mac running iTunes 10.6 would be useful data for further confirmation that it is a bug in iOS 5.1.

Continuity calling and personal hotspot

I tried continuity calling and it works great for me.
But on the road, e.g. in a hotel room I use the personal hotspot feature of my iphone.
So the iphone an ipad are on the same wlan network.
But it seems that continuity calling isn't working right now in the condition.
Is there a "trick" or did somebody made similar experiences?
(googled and found nothing about continuity calling and personal hotspot).
Thanks,
Sebastian

is there any application that can help my iphone 3GS with personal hotspot or tethering internet?

You don't need anything, as such is built directly into the iOS. Your carrier, however, needs to support such.

I have an iPad which I usually connect to my iPhone 4s for 'personal hotspot' when I travel. I am planning to buy a bluetooth keyboard for my iPad and wondering if I will be able to connect/pair iPhone 4s and the keyboard at the same time!! Anyone??

The likely problem is your expectations you cant sync using bluetooth these are the supported profiles

Can't Apple Remote to iTunes when using iPhone as a Personal Hotspot

My AT&T iPhone 4S is set up to be used as Personal Hotspot. So I turn HotSpot on and connect my MacBook Pro to my iPhone's internet just fine.
However, when I open Apple Remote app on the iPhone, it won't connect to iTunes on my MBP.
I have set it up at home where both iPhone and MBP are connected to the wireless connection on the Apple Airport. It worked perfectly in that configuration.
I'm in a band that plays weddings and corporate events. During breaks, I use Apple iTunes to DJ tracks. If I can't use Remote, I'm tethered to the stage constantly. This is a big problem. I need the internet connection to buy songs that are requested that I don't already own. And I need to be able to control iTunes remotely for when I'm in the crowd running microphones from one person to another during speeches and such.
Is there a setting that I'm missing somewhere? Or am I just outta luck for this configuration?
Thx, Patrick

Hi! This will solve the problem. Connect iphone personal hotspot, on macbook turn on - internet connection sharing - create your network - connect iphone to that network, you will have internet connection and mac with iphone will think that you are on wifi network. From that point will everything work - also remote control and remote sync with itunes. Try it!.

No internet access with iphone 3GS ios5 personal hotspot

Prior to upgrading to IOS5 I was able to tether my Windows box to my iPhone 3GS. Now with the upgrade I'm not able to connect using the new Personal Hotspot method that was introduced. I can connect the phone, and actually see a network show up in my network connections but I get no internet access through it. I can ping the Gateway that the network gets but that's it. Can't ping the DNS server or anything else. Any ideas here would be very appreciated.

Do the basic troubleshooting steps with your phone, as needed:
Restart phone
Reset phone
Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
Restore phone in iTunes using a backup
Restore in iTunes as new, without using a backup

IMessage and Personal Hotspot not working

I'm having a weird issue with my iMessage only working over wifi. When I'm on 3G I'm not a able to send or receive iMessages. My personal hotspot settings is no where on my phone. I've tried looking under network settings and even resetting the network settings... still nothing. If I perform a fresh restore and setup as a new device it's all fine. However when I try to restore from a backup via iTunes or iCloud I get the same issues. This method is all fine and dandy but I want to be able to retain my text/mms messages on my device. I already have them backed up onto my Mac with phoneview, but I want them on my device. I've even tried restoring to a back from my iPhone 4 from when I got it running 4.0.1 still nothing. By the way this issue is both on my 4 and 4s. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
