Iphone 4 to ipad 2 tethering problem

i got a wifi ipad 2 as i have tethering on my iphone 4 contract. I have set up the personal hotspot and the ipad finds it and connects via wifi. But the wifi symbol doesn't appear instead its a a chain link type symbol. When i try to get online nothing happens. I have connected an ipod touch to my personal hotspot and it works fine. Can anybody help?
Thanks

I do the same thing. 16gb wifi ipad 2 and teather to my ATT iphone 4... I too get the chain link, and at times it does not work as well. What I do, is turn my ipad off, and then back on.. And then reestablish my link. All is well after that.
I have not had a chance to try it since the most recent update to both devices, so unaware if the new updates fixed the problem, but it does seem like a bug to me.
I hope I've been some help

Printing from iPhone or iPad no problem but cannot get pc to print

Have just bought an instant ink compatible Envy 4502 and have set everything up according to instruction.
iPhone and iPad work fine and can send printing to the printer no problem - why can I not print from my pc - surely you'd think this would be the easiest of the functions to get right??
I can click on send to printer but there remains 0 docs in the queue pending??

Hi MarcusPos,
I see that the ENVY 4502 will not print from your computer, but it will print fine from an iPhone and iPad. What is the Operating System installed on the computer, Windows or Mac?
Also, what is it you are trying to print, an eMail, a picture, etc?
Have you installed the full feature software and drivers that came with the printer on the computer?
This is not directed to the same issue, but it does troubleshoot the queue for both Operating Systems: Print Jobs are Stuck in the Print Queue.

Mail through Comcast exhange perfect on iPhone and iPad but intermittent problems on MacBook Pro?

I run on an exchange server through Comcast. My exchange mail works perfectly on my iPhone and iPad but doesn't work properly most of the time on my MacBook Pro. My MacBook is not that old. This happened with Snow Leopard. I just updated to Lion and it's happening with Lion too. It's happening with iCal, Contacts and Outlook too. Any ideas why it's working fine on iPhone and iPad but problems on the MacBook Pro? This is very frustrating. I'm having to respond to emails on my iPad when I'm right next to my laptop. Gmail emails work fine with laptop. Seems to be a problem with my MacBook and exchange server. Thank you.

Major problems with iPhone 4 & iPad 2 both 5.1.1. - Outlook Calendar sync

Folks, really need some help here, being forced to revert to Blackberry Bold 9000 because of issues with Outlook Calendar sync since 5.1.1 upgrade on both my iPhone & iPad. Our company Enterprise Active Sync server is 2003 (please don't mention upgrade - already a seperate conversation byt all costs).
email sync's fine on both devices, plus i can continue to use both iCloud accounts, and BT yahoo mail etc !
national holidays set up in Outlook calendar come across, as does some calendar items, but then falls into a resync mode with nothing staying in the device, i can also see and read calendar invites, but once accepted, they disappear !
Searching the internet suggests I'm not alone with this issue - any ideas welcome, seems not to be a problem on os 4 !!! but A) I don't know how to regress and B) why should I ?
Many thanks in advance, please don't make me go back to a BB !!!
Finally, I've been using the devices without issue for nearly 2 years - so again it's linked to 5.1.1. upgrade !

Hi Tim
Firstly, apologies for the slow response to your very quick reply !
I've checked back, we're using Exchange 2007.
We've actually got a ticket open with Apple at present, so anticipate that a patch may be available.
It is still curious though that out of a 200 user community trialling our internal iPhone & iPad pilot, we only have 2 issues (mine and a colleagues), however anticipate that there will be more issues as nearly entire community is on 5.1.1.
On a second point, any ideas how one can rollback to 4.3.3 on an iPhone or iPad ? I can't find anything that implies a self rollback without jail breaking the device ?
Thanks again for the help.

Face time fades out and then tries to reconnect on new ipad retina display on WiFi. Iphone 4s has no problem with face time from exact same location and same contact. WiFi signal strong on both devices. What gives?

Is the router to small?
Not necessarily, if you are using Facetime all the data goes through your WiFi router, your cable/DSL modem, your ISP and the internet to Apple's Facetime servers and then, in reverse, down to the Facetime recipient. If your ISP connection is too slow or there is excessive traffic on the internet you can have Facetime problems.
Most WiFi routers can handle this unless others in the house are also using WiFi at the same time. The problem may be your ISP connection or congestion on the internet, etc.

Problem with iPhone and iPad keyboard shortcuts

When I try to access the keyboard shortcuts in either my iPhone 6+, iPad 3 or iPad Air, the sequence Settings>General>Keyboard>Shortcuts causes the devices to go back to the Home Screen. I spent several hours in a chat with Apple Support, had to go through an iTunes back up on the iPhone and restored it to "new phone" and it fixed the problem on the iPhone, but not on the iPads. Chatted again today with Support, tried hard reset (press both buttons till Apple logo appears) on the iPad 3 and I could access the shortcuts. Did the same on the iPad Air with no luck.
Now, one hour after second Support chat, none of the devices can access the shortcuts. There must be a problem with iCloud for this to be happening on all 3 devices.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Same problem also and if I restore both the iPhone and iPad as new I
lose a lot of progress in my games.

I have a wireless network at home. I run my iphone and ipad on it with no problems. Just purchased a MacBook Pro, and now my wi-fi keeps disconnecting and i get an error message saying another device is using the same IP address. What does all this mean?

Mail on iMac not accessing MS Exchange server but both iPhone and iPad access the same account with no problems.

I have been using an iPhone and iPad to access my work emails via our MS Exchange server for a number of years now with no problems at all. I recently replaced my home PC with an iMac (first Mac I have owned) but cannot get it to communicate with the exchange server. I've checked and re-checked the information on the iMac and my iPad - I even deleted the mail account on the iPad and input the details concurrently with setting up on the iMac - but the Mac will not access the exchange server.
I receive the message "The Exchange server "---------------" rejected the password for user "------" Enter you password again or cancel." I am using the correct password. iPad and iPhone are logging on using that password fine. iMac just ends up repeating this message.
Our IT support at work assure me that there is no reason from their end for it not to work, and reasonably point to it working using the iPhone etc.
I'd be extremely grateful if anyone can provide a solution to this basic, but extremely frustrating, little problem.

iPhone and iPad use a different way of accessing the server.
I don't know the exact details, but we are using Zarafa instead of Exchange and have the same problem:
iPhone and the likes can connect to Zarafas z-push interface, which is some identical interface to the native Exchange interface, while the desktop e-mail application tries to interface with the web front end (via http) of the server.
These are completely different setups and it depends on the actual installation of the server to get this going.
So, you will most likely need different access parameters for the desktop - and the web mail feature has to be enabled on the Exchange server.
In my opinion using the web mail interface is just silly. On the other hand, the native protocol has less features comparedto the web front end, so you are somehow stuck with sins of the past.
Good luck!

I have my daughters Ipod, my iphone, my wife's Iphone and Ipad on the one Apple ID. Since the latest update we are receiving Imessages from our daughter's Ipod with my wife's caller ID on the one message strand. Can I fix this problem?

Is it possible to differentiate between all the devices?Can I fix this problem?

I recommend that you
Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.
Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
Use the new ID on her iPod but only for:
Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
Settings>FaceTime
and Settings>iCloud if you want her to have separate Contacts Calendar and some other things.
Continue to use the same/common Apple ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores so you can share purchases.

I am using the same Apple id for my iPhone and iPad! Does this cause a problem with apps?

I Was told I should use a whole different I'd with my iPad because if I have both my phone and iPad with the same Apple id it will cause conflict with the apps on each of them. Does this happen?

No. I've been using the same Apple ID on my iPhone and iPad for years without problems. If fact, if both devices are yours and you use both devices having the same Apple ID on each of them is preferable.

I have a problem with the synchronisation of my iPhone and iPad with Outlook 2007 on my 64-bit Windows 7 PC. For several years,
I have had no problems with the synchronisation by cord connection and iTunes between these programmes. However, a few months ago I decided to use Mobile Me. However, there were problems with duplication of calendars and then “rogue events” – which could not be deleted – even if deleted on Outlook and on the iPhone (or both at the same time) – they would just reappear after the next synchronisation. All other synchronisation areas (eg Contacts, Notes etc) work fine.
I have looked for help through the Apple Support Community and tried many things. I have repaired my Outlook. I have repaired my .pst file in Windows. I have re-installed the latest version of iTunes on my PC. I have re-installed the firmware on my iPhone. I have tried many permutations on my iPhone. I have closed down all Mobile Me functions on the iPhone. I have spent upwards of 24 hours trying to solve this problem.
What am I left with? Outlook works seamlessly on my PC. My iPhone calendar now has no events from my calendar, but does not synchronise through iTunes. Nor does it send events initiated on the iPhone to the Outlook. I am at the point of abandoning iPhones and iPads altogether. I need to have a properly synchronising calendar on my phone. Do you have any suggestions?

In the control panel goto the "Lenovo - Power Manager" and click the battery tab, there is a maintenance button in there that will let you change the charging profile for your battery. (from memory, so exact wording may be off)
The lower the numbers you use there, the longer the battery *should* last. These batteries degrade faster at higher charge levels, however storing them at too low of levels is also not good for them... I've read that 40% is optimal, but just not realistic if you use your computer.

My macbook pro can see my home wi-fi network but cannot connect to it. My iphone and ipad are connected to my home wi-fi so the problem is not the modem.

Wow, I tried to submit this as a problem and the computer lost the wifi connection again, so i lost the whole explanation i typed up.
I've turned off computer and modem multiple times.
When I tried to run the network diagnostic, the macbook pro gave me a "perhaps you are out of range error". I am sitting next to the modem.
My iphone and ipad are wonderfully connected to the home wifi network, so it cannot be the modem/router, correct?
If I am on the same floor as the router/modem then the macbook pro can see my home network but after tyoing in my password and trying to connect i get a "timed out" message.
If I move down one floor, then the macbook can see and connect to the wifi. I only have one modem on one floor.
Is there some sort of diagnostic I can run to see why this particular device (macbook pro) is behaving ths way? It just seems weird because the computer could connect to the wifi network yesterday while i was sitting next to the router.

SOLUTION!
I've been suffering from this problem for a few months. I tried everything suggested by everyone, and then, today, I had a mad idea.
I used to work in a room in the house that's about 12 metres away from the router. It's on the next storey up and horizontally about 8 metres away. The problem started when I began to work in the same room as the router.
Today I became so frustrated that for some reason I walked into a room about 8 metres away on the same level - Guess what? I connected with no problem at all. Feeling full of joy I walked back to the room where the router is located - Dropped internet connection within a few minutes! Walked back to the the room that's 8 metres away and, hey presto! I have a connection. I now realise that the problem was that I moved too close to the router.
I can think of no logical explanation for my experience, but empirically it seems to work. Does anyone have the faintest idea of why this should be the case? In the absence of an answer I think I may have to start believing in fairies at the bottom of the garden - I'm just off to set a meal for them.
By the way, I don't know if it has any significance, but the router is a BT Infinity router that has replaced the incredibly unreliable Virgin Media cable connection

I would like to use my work exchange email on my macbook pro. But I cannot insult it. I have not problem as on my iPhone or iPad. My work IT person does not know what is wrong.

I would like to use my work exchange email on my macbook pro. But I cannot install it. I have no problem my work email on my iPhone or iPad. My work IT person does not know what is wrong. Why I try to set up the email I get the message that it cannot connect to this server.

Try going into System Prefereces then Mail, Cintacts & Calendars then click on the Microsoft Exchange link on the right. Type in your email address and password and allow it to set it up automatically.
Make sure your Mac is updated to the newest version of Mail.
If that still fails then I suggest you switch email clients. I don't care for the built in mail program. IMHO it is very buggy.
