Iphone 6 plus for wifi hotspot

I used to use the data on my iphone to use my iPad when I was with a different carrier now that switched to Verizon and using iPhone 6 plus I cant use it as a wifi hotspot anymore. Called Verizon but not much help. Is there anyway I can still use my phone as wifi hotspot? Please help.

I've had my new iPhone 6 Plus for about a month now and I'm just now syncing it with my computer to put music on it and it has been on Step 5 of 5 for hours now. I have reinstalled iTunes to see if that was the problem with no luck.

All it says is "waiting for changes to be applied".

Iphone 6 plus for iPhone 6

How can I exchange my iphone 6 plus for iPhone 6?

The iPhone 6 Plus is still in very short supply vs. the demand, so even if you are beyond the two-weeks you should have no problem selling it. Just remember, if you are going to return it or sell it, you will need your Apple ID and Password to turn off "Find My iPhone" and to Erase All Content. You will need to make a Backup on iCloud or your Computer and current version of iTunes so that you can move your content to your new iPhone 6.

Itune can't detect iphone 6 plus on wifi sync

iTunes 12.0.1.26
Macbook Pro Retina, 13 inch, late 2013, OS X Yosemite 10.10.1
iPhone 6 plus 64 GB, iOS 8.1.1
iPad 2 64 GB, iOS 8.1.1
Both Wifi and Bluetooth turned on.
When iTunes launched, iPad2 is detected within 10 sec, whereas iPhone 6+ is not detected.
I can still detect iPhone for personal hotspot and handoff.
Of note, the continuity feature on Macbook Pro is not consistent - message does show up but not phone calls.
I tried restarting both devices, deactivating and activating the handoff features etc.
It never worked for me. When I bought iPhone it was already running iOS 8.1. Upgraded to 8.1.1 only few days ago.
Kind regards.

Hi there ing soo,
I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps for Wi-Fi syncing found in the article below.

Is there a fix for wifi hotspot

Hi all, I have used my hotspot in the past, However after upgrading to IOS 5.1 it no longer works with a Windows machine via wifi.
Is there a known solution, or is it even possible to backdate my phone to a older IOS that will resolve the issue?
Does anybody with Apple care have info on if apple is addressing the issue?
The hotspot works with other devices such as Ipods, and E-readers so I am pretty sure it is a login compatiblity issue between Microsoft windows and apple's Wifi hotspot.
Highflier
This seems to be a fairly common issue as my wife's Iphone has the same issue and a google shows lots of hits with same problem.

Nope that did not do anything for the hotspot feature, not sure what it did short of a power off/on like reboot.
Thanks but try again
FWIW the 2 PC's I am trying use XP service pack 3 and a Vista PC.

IPhone 6 Plus Strange Wifi Issue

Picked up on iPhone 6 Plus on friday, love the phone so far. I am having one issue with the wifi download speeds that I've managed to isolate to this device.
I have a 100Mbps connection that I usually get between 70-80Mbps down with a ~6ms ping (checked on my macbook pro, iPad, iPhone 5S and 5C).
Now, when running the Ookla speedtest (or any other speedtest app & in browser) on my new 6+, I get abnormally high ping of around 136ms. Then when the download test begins it shoots up to 20Mbps for a split second, then right back down to around 4Mbps. Where it slowly increases to around 9Mbps.. this is where it gets weird - the download stalls, for about 3-4 seconds and gradually grinds to a halt. Looking at the speed test graph, the lines shoot up high for a sec, then it just 'flatlines' for a few seconds.
This is with every speed test I've checked - it's like the wifi radio loses power for a few seconds and cycles itself off and on. I have reset the network settings already, to no avail.
I've done some looking into this since yesterday and made sure everything is OK on my router side. Low interference, good SNR and few devices connected at once. It seems to be the iPhone, or the iOS 8 software that's doing it.. however my partners 5C on iOS8 does not have this issue.
Is it faulty?

I have this exact same issue with the iPhone 6 Plus. After numerous calls to AppleCare several resets and restore restores from backup, restore as new, and visits to the Genius Bar at the Apple store, Apple dose not appear to have an answer yet. This is happening on all Wi-Fi networks home, Xfinity, Apple Store, and Starbucks. It does not appear to be related to the Wi-Fi network in use. I have been asked to give it a week and see if it gets better but somehow I do not think this is going to work. The Apple Store has even replace my phone and I still experience the same issues.
What am I missing?

I have iphone 4s
My phone is not scanning for wifi

Power cycle the router.
Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

ITunes Can't Find iPhone 6 Plus via Wifi

Hi all,
I'm running the latest Yosemite beta with the latest iTunes and I've enabled Wifi sync on my iPhone 6 Plus. iTunes fails to find the phone even though they're on the same network. Can anyone help? Thanks

You're running beta software that is bound to have issues. Report it to Apple using the beta channel.

T-Mobile (US) iPhone 6 Plus for Use in Spain

Hello,
I am thinking about buying a T-Mobile iPhone 6 Plus from the US to eventually unlock and use in Spain (on Movistar). Does anyone know if this version of the phone will be able to access 4G in Spain? I know that 3G won't be a problem (I have an unlocked iPhone 5 bought from the Apple Store in the US that accesses up to 3G here in Spain, but cannot access 4G - and yes, I know for a fact that there is 4G as my Android accesses it no problem), but what about 4G?
I've looked at the LTE specs page, but I'm a bit confused as almost all the same bands are listed for the two devices (the one for T-Mobile US and the one for Movistar Spain)
Thanks a lot!

He is correct
Ironically the Sprint or US Cellular version will work - BUT I doubt that you can get that version unlocked - on the other hand if you want to use it in Spain I would consider buying the A 1524 / A 1526 model

Return iPhone 6 Plus for iPhone 6?

I've been trying to get ahold of an Apple store but to no avail so I wanted to ask here.
I purchased this iPhone 6 Plus through the online store but feel it is just to uncomfortable for 2 years of use. I'd like to exchange it at an Apple Store for a regular iPhone 6. As long as iPhone 6's are in stock, is this possible? Or do I have to ship the plus back to Apple since I bought it online. If that's the case, what happens with my upgrade status with AT&T? Can I ship this back and still get an iPhone 6 at 2 year contract price at an Apple Store? Thanks for the help guys.

I was in the same boat. i preordered and got the iphone 6 plus on launch day. After activating it and playing with it for a day, i felt it didn't fit my needs (it was too big) so I went to the apple store to exchange it for the smaller one. When i got to the store, they told me that i'll have to go back to the loooooong line outside the store if i wanted to get the smaller iphone so i decided to just return it. Fortunately, they had a representative from AT&T at the apple store who made sure that my eligibility requirement was reset so i can repurchase another phone at a discounted price after i returned the phone. The representative also helped me reactivate my old iphone (iphone 5) so i can use it again until i purchase my new iphone 6.
I went online to order and reserve the iphone 6 i wanted via the apple website and it wouldn't let me order it since my account still registers an Iphone ordered under it (the iphone plus i returned). The online ordering system only allows one iphone order per account. So I called the apple phone order line to order it via phone and get this issue resolved but they said they wouldn't be able to do anything for me to get the iphone plus on my account removed (apparently it takes time for their system to remove it) and told me to just wait for the system to remove it.
Instead of waiting for the system to remove it - i imagine it'll take a while since there are a couple of million people who are getting the iphone this launch weekend - i decided to go to my local best buy store to see if they have it in stock. To my surprise, there was no line to go through at the store and they had them in stock (probably since the iphone 6 plus is the more popular version). i bought it there and got it activated and saved time from lining up again at the apple store.
I guess i suggest you go to the apple store, return the iphone 6 plus, talk to the AT&T representative on site (while they're still there - i think they're only there this launch weekend) to get your AT&T account squared away and then go to a local retail store (Best Buy, Walmart, AT&T store etc.) and get the Iphone 6 plus there and save time waiting in line at the apple store.
Hope this helps.

Pre-signing iPhone 6 plus for a friend

Ok so I am from Costa Rica and I want to preorder the iPhone 6 plus, I want to ship it to an U.S address but I read that I need to be present in the delivery cause of shipping policies of apple, so my question is how do I pre-sign so that anyone can receive the package whithout any problems? excuse my ignorance about this I do not know to much about this delivery system. Thanks

Hi memoag12,
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Here's what the Apple Store shipping and delivery page says.
Shipping & Pickup
http://store.apple.com/us/help/shipping_delivery
If you are unavailable to provide a signature, Apple offers three easy options for you to receive your package.
Option 1: Pre-sign with Apple
There are two ways you can Pre-sign for your shipment:
Click the Pre-sign for this shipment link in your Shipment Notification email
Visit online Order Status and click the "Pre-sign for this shipment" link
Complete and print the Shipment Release Authorization form. Leave the form on your door for the carrier, prior to 8:00 a.m. on the day of expected delivery.
You can specify a preferred delivery location (e.g., front door, back door, immediate neighbor, or building manager). If you provide an address other than the one specified on the package, someone must sign for the package.
If you'd like to pre-sign for more than one shipment, simply print, sign, and leave a Shipment Release Authorization for each package.
For safety and security reasons, all deliveries are subject to the driver's discretion. If you are unable to access the Pre-sign Form, call Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 and let us help!
Option 2: Sign to release your shipment to your address, an immediate neighbor, or a building manager
If you did not pre-sign for your package through Apple, and you were unavailable to provide a signature, the carrier will leave a Delivery Notice on your door after the first delivery attempt.
You can sign the Delivery Notice, specify a preferred delivery location (e.g., front door, back door, immediate neighbor, building manager), and leave the notice on your door prior to the next delivery attempt.
If you provide an address other than the one specified on the package, someone must sign for the package.
Option 3: Pick up package at carrier's local facility
After the first delivery attempt, you can request to pick up your package at our carrier's local facility. Call the number on the carrier's Delivery Notice and inform the carrier you'd like to pick up your package in person.
To pick up your package from the carrier's local facility, you'll need:
The Delivery Notice
Government ID (driver's license, passport) that matches the package name and address
Second ID with your name on it (credit card, social security card)
The carrier can release the package only to the person included on the shipping address.
Take care,
Nubz

Iphone 4S fix for WIFI greyed out

I have read extensively the fixes for this and after trying them all, decided I had nothing to lose but to try the one that seemed rediculous - PUTTING IT IN THE FREEZER. I did this, then I restarted my iphone and IT WORKED. How, I do not know.

Yes thats work every time i but it in the freezer for 10 min maxm and open it , and guss what it work , but if your phone gets hot and restart it , should repate the prosses , but at least i can use wifi if i wanna without repair the wifi chip

IPhone constantly asking for WiFi passwords when SSID is known

I recently got a new iPhone 6 and whenever I'm out somewhere in town I get random prompts "incorrect WiFi password" all the time. This didn't happen on my old 4S that was still running running iOS 7.
So I narrowed this problem down: This happens when some random WiFi network is nearby that just happens to have an SSID name that matches a different network that I previously connected to. Because a lot of people leave the default names like "AndroidAP", this soon becomes annoying as ****.
Now, the password prompt probably makes sense from a technical point of view. Probably it cannot tell WiFis with identical SSIDs apart, right?? But it's so persistent, it annoys the **** out of me. Obviously iOS 7 had a way of "failing silently" - the WiFi password at my work changes every week and yet I never got this message on my old phone. It just would not connect and let you re-enter the password by going into WiFi settings.
Anyone know how to get the old behavior back?

I had the same problem and what I did was to ask a friend to activate his AndroidAP network, let me log in with his password and after being connected I went to Wi-Fi Settings of that network ("AndroidAP") and choose "Forget this Network". It takes a bit of trouble for doing this (and someone able to create a network with the name "AndroidAP", but at least my movies won't be interrupted again when I'm travelling on the bus through the city. Please Apple, allow users to ignore SSIDs without needing to be logged in

Using iphone 4 only for wifi while traveling?

Traveling abroad and want to turn off the phone (3g) while abroad and only use it for wi-fi..Anyone know how to do it?

Let me pick your brain on this one..is there a way to make one folder to put various emails in that come from different sources..ie..yahoo, personal domain, me.com? I would like to keep some hotel confirmation number letters, invoices , boarding info. etc. and keep them all in one place together for a trip abroad.
