IPhone 5 and iPad mini's usb personal hotspot on 10.8.4 suddenly stopped working!

Let me make it clear that its working fine on wifi and bluetooth on both the devices. for some reason, it has stopped working via usb on both the devices at once. i have a MBP 2010 with Mountain Lion 10.8.4
i have tried with different lightning cables, including the one bundled.
on connecting the ipad for the first time the mac just powered off without any error/warning/ or even freezing. upon the next power on it didnt give any message about recovering from an error.
i am wondering if this is the mac's version of USB OVER CURRENT / OVER VOLTAGE!
I found this three lines of message generated in console when connect the devices with personal hotspot via USB on.

i think this is something to do with os x 10.8.4. it happend after the x.x.4 update. check out this screen shot and see how the personal hotspot with iphone seems different in the menu bar. i dont know from where a pppoe menu came from!?
the icon is also a regular wifi icon instead of the pairing one.

  • Virtual Leash between iPhone and iPad mini

    Hello,
    Is there any application working like a virtual leash between an Iphone 4S and an Ipad mini?
    My problem is I already use bluetooth between my Iphone and Ipad for getting internet from the Iphone to the Ipad.
    Devices I have seen are using bluetooth as well and will stop my connection for internet I guess.
    Thank's for your help.
    Etienne

    No. You can sync Apps by using the Same apple ID on both devices. But the Apps contents remains on the device unless it has a specific feature that backs up to the cloud or something similar that can then be retrieved on the other device.

  • How to get photos off my Windows 7 PC to my iPhone and iPad Mini?

    How do I get photos off of my Windows 7 PC to my iPhone 4S and iPad Mini automatically through iCloud?

    On a Windows PC the easiest way to get pictures from your iPhone is to just use Windows Explorer.
    1) Plugin your iPhone to your PC
    2) Open “My Computer”
    3) Find your iPhone, it will appear as any other camera would
    4) Open iPhone to find your Photos
    5) Select the pictures you want to copy to your computer and copy/ paste them into the desired location on your PC.

    I have a Netgear WNR2000 router and an Edimax EW-7438RPn wifi range extender.  I have gotten the range extender to work well with my MacBook Air, however, while my iPhone 3Gs and iPad mini can pick up the wireless signal from the range extender, they cannot get to the Internet through it.  No IP Address, Subnet Mask, Router, or DNS appear in the details on either the iPhone or the iPad mini.   How do I get the iPhone and the iPad to connect to the Internet.   It seems that the problem is with the iPhone and iPad, since the MacBook Air works just fine with this set up.  

    Junglemania,
    Go into the setup page of the EW-7438RPn.  Go to Wireless Advanced Settings.  There is a WMM settings.  Make sure the WMM is enabled. 
    This may help you out.

  • Messages aren't showing up on both iPhone and iPad Mini like they used to -

    everyone in the Apple Store said that it's probably the software on the Mini.  I already toggled on and off. also reset the Mini.
    I don't have time to make an appointment with the genius bar, so I thought I'd check here.  Thanks!

    Two other things I would suggest are
    1.  Log on to the Apple ID website and make sure the email associated with your Apple ID is there and is consistent with the email addresses in the iMessage app on both the iPhone and iPad.  If you update or change this information, be sure to log out of iMessage on both devices, and then log in again so the devices have the updated info.
    http://www.apple.com/support/appleid/
    2.  Make sure you've added your email address to the list of "Receive At" addresses on the iPhone.

  • How do I stop MacBook syncing with iPhone and iPad mini

    Any help would be appreciated

    On the PC from the Windows Start menu, choose Control Panel > Network and Internet > iCloud.
    Make sure Mail is selected.
    On the iPhone and iPad tap Settings > iCloud
    Make sure Mail is switched ON.

  • Transferring app between my iPhone and iPad mini?

    I just bought the new iPad mini w/ retina, and it's awesome.  I have an app on my iPhone 5 called "The Oxford Dictionary of the Classical World" and I use it constantly.  I want it on my new Ipad, but it dosen't seem to be available in the app store any longer.  Can I transfer it from my phone somehow?

    Dear JMRT,
    thanks for the respond, however, this is the way I would do it if i would have purchased on my iphone/ipad first and would like to have it on my Mac. but in my case I bought it on the MAC first and would now like to have it on iphone.
    It works with most of the other apps, but those two no, although they are also made for iphone/ipda.
    So the question is how to getit from Mac to phone?
    Cheers

  • What product can I buy that will provide portable power to my MacBook Pro and iPhone and iPad when I am flying?

    What product can I buy that will supply portable power to my MacBook Pro, iPhone and iPad when I am flying?
    I recently was on an extended trip and the port for charging at my seat was not working.

    Unfortuntly you can't.
    The Apple Airline adapter is only meant to keep a fully charged battery from draining, however with newer computers requiring more power, they tend to drain the battery AND the power at the same time, thus require more power hook up without the computer running to charge the battery.
    Since your iPhone and iPad charge off USB, that's going to drain the MacBook Pro battery as well.
    To generate enough power to charge all three will require a portable generator which of course can't be used on a plane.
    The best you can do is have all three charged up before you board the plane, and use each for as long as you can.

  • USB audio suddenly stops working

    It's really weird.  Regular audio output works fine, but if I plug in a USB audio device it will work for about a minute and then stop.  I can reproduce this reliably with both a Griffin iMic and a C-Media USB audio widget.  Once the device has stopped working, if I unplug it and plug it back in it wiil work for another minute or so and then stop again.  This only started happening in the last week or so.  Before that it was working fine for months.  AFAIK I haven't changed anything.  I haven't done any major software updates, and I'm not running any new applications.
    Also, while it's not working, it's not off 100%.  It seems to have something to do with the audio driver.  If, for example, I do this at the terminal:
    say hello world ; say hello world ; say hello world
    I will hear "hello ... hello ... hello ..." (where the elipses indicate about a second of silence).
    If I do:
    say hello ; say hello ; say hello
    then I just get little blips of sound.
    Has anyone seen this problem before?
