IPhone hotspot not working with MacBook air

Hi this is my first post I think and I'm hoping for a fix to my issues.
My iPhone 4S hotspot won't work when connected to my MacBook Air in either USB mode or wireless/Bluetooth.
A few weeks back I had the same issue, took both iPhone and MacBook to my local apple store and the tech deleted a folder from the mac and it fixed the issue.
I don't know which folder he deleted, he said they were network configuration files that would regenerate themselves.
Anyway it has been working fine for a few weeks but tonight it has ceased to connect again. I'm working overseas and don't have access to the apple store so I'm hoping someone here can advise me which files I need to delete Again to get this hotspot working.
Both iPhone and MacBook have the very latest software update both yesterday and it did work fine yesterday after the update.

You couldn't have, there are no supported  Bluetooth Profiles between a iMac and an iPhone outside of Internet sharing.
In which case you need to enable the internet Sharing over bluetooth on the Mac before trying to pair.
Other than that there's no way to pair them.

  • Handoff not working with Macbook air (mid 2012)

    So, I just updated to Yosemite and I have enabled all the settings on my Macbook Air (mid 2012), iPhone and iPad.  Turned on blutooth, same wifi network, etc...  Handoff DOES work from my Mac to the iPhone but will not work from my iPhone to my mac.  I've searched high and low and can't figure out why its not working...  Any ideas?

    *UPDATE* I was able to drop a file to my iPhone via AirDrop FROM my MBP to iPhone. However, I've still been unable to do the reverse (iPhone to MBP).
    Same exact situation with same exact MBP (mid 2012 machine). iPhone 5S running iOS 8. I had been trying to go iPhone to MBP for about 30 minutes with no success. Neither Handoff or AirDrop would work. The MBP would recognize the iPhone in AirDrop, but the iPhone would never recognize the MBP as a location to "drop" to.
    After reading you post, I tried the reverse (MBP to iPhone). I started an e-mail and got the mail icon on my iPhone lock screen. However, when trying to access the message on the iPhone i received connectivity errors and the "draft" never loaded.
    Perhaps the server on the cloud they use for the handoff/airdrop/continuity feature is overloaded due to the rollout. Either way it's entirely more complex to use then it should be.

  • Iphone 4 not connecting with macbook air using USB

    I am not able to connect my iPhone 4 with my Macbook Air using USB cord. Macbook Air is not able to detect the device.

    I had this problem when connecting my iphone 4 to my retina MacBook Pro. The phone was running ios 6 but I updated it to ios 7 and since then it works fine with no problems. Try updating it to the latest software and see does that help!

  • Wifi from iPhone hotspot not working with iPad 2

    I cannot get my iPad 2 to connect to my iPhone 4 via the personal hotspot feature. If it does connect, it does not connect to safari or mail.

    Sclifford-
    I assume you have verified that the iPhone hotspot works with another computer.
    It might help to reset the iPad's network.  Go to Settings-General-Reset-Reset Network Settings.  You will then need to reconnect the WiFi.

  • Why is HP Photosmart C4780 wi-fi not working with MacBook Air?

    My HP Photosmart C4780 and my MacBook Air seem incapable of maintaining a wi-fi connection.
    My printer will work with a wired connection but the combined scanner no longer works at all.
    I have installed and uninstalled the printer on numerous occasions it works as soon as it is reinstalled but this never lasts.
    I am out of guarantee with HP and Apple and have paid HP Several times for help but I am wondering if it would be better to buy another printer.
    Any help would be gratefully received.

    First try Reset Printing System, a menu choice in Printer Setup Utility. You'll have to re-Add the printers (don't "install" drivers or any software though).

  • Optus Huwaie USB not working with Macbook Air

    I have a Macbook Air (mid 2011) running Yosemite 10.10.1
    Using an Optus USB Modem (E3276 V2  4G) by Huwaie and it I think there is a compatibility issue. … I tried the modem on my Macbook .. no problem at all.
    After launching on the Air, the USB dongle glows Blue which represent connection - status on Optus window says ‘connected' but there is in fact no internet connection at all and no kbps activity either way. I have seen a few similar posts on various forums but haven't so far understood what they are on about. Ideas? Thanks

    You should be contacting the technical support of the Internet carrier for assistance.  It is their responsibility to be compatible with Apple.
    Ciao.

  • Is there any Sound card 5.1 include stereo mix that working with MacBook Air such as Creative Labs SoundBlaster X-Fi Surround 5.1 Pro Entertainment System ? and if there any another sound card can you tell me what is it please ? Thank you.

    Okay, I did my best searching and I couldn't find anything that matched all your descriptors. I did do a search on both decoder numbers. SB0256 returned very little results, but with SB0466, I was able to find this ebay listing:
    http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...6_fvi%3D&_rdc=
    This card isn't a Champion like you suggested. And with my complete lack of knowledge, I don't know what I/O dri've bay means. But since it is PCI and the decoder matches the number you gave me, this card should be adequete, right?
    Whether it works or not, my search indicated it might be very hard for me to find that card (or any PCI card for that matter). Everything I saw was out of stock. I know this is a forum for Creative, but are there any other manufacturers that will allow me to accomplish my goal, either with current cards, or discontinued cards? Thanks again
    Oh, and I will vote on that thread. I probably won't wait for them to release the decoder since I need it now, but I still believe Creative should be giving the customer what they want

  • Webcam not working for Macbook Air 2013 after upgrading to OSX Mavericks? Yahoo/ Google/Skype cam chats not working. Facetime works though. Any updates of Mavericks released to fix this?

    Webcam not working for Macbook Air 2013 after upgrading to OSX Mavericks? Yahoo/ Google/Skype cam chats not working. Facetime works though. Any updates of Mavericks released to fix this?

    I have a MacBook Pro Retina display: 15.4-inch late 2015 with OS X Mavericks install, only on second week. 
    Insight works on FaceTime, Skype, but yahoo program does not show insight cam in dropped down.
    Now when I got my new MacBook Pro, I down loaded all new Skype (worked tested), FaceTime (Worked Tested), Yahoo (not worked)
    Fix:
    With the new Maverick you have to use there messager program Version 8.0 (4218). Once I add my yahoo account video works again.
    It also supported AOL, AIM, Google Talk, Jabber.
    Guess I miss it frist time... hope this helps...

  • Yosemite does not recognize HP printer after upgrade.  I can print from my iPhone, but not my 13" Macbook Air (2013)Yosemite does not recognize HP printer after upgrade.  I can print from my iPhone, but not my 13" Macbook Air (2013)

    Yosemite does not recognize HP printer after upgrade.  I can print from my iPhone, but not my 13" Macbook Air (2013)
    Are others having the same problems?

    Try this. Worked for me.
    - turn off your router
    - turn off you Mac's after removing all available printers
    - turn off all iDevices
    - do a factory reset of your printer remove all cables min. 30 sec.
    - turn on your router first
    - ran the network set up wizard
    - give your printer also a new name like "DeskJet 2015"
       Something which you don't have used before.
    - turn on your Mac's and add your printer
    - turn on your iDevices at least.
    Should work after these steps.
    It worked for me including all iDevices.
    iOS and Yosemite

  • I just switched from pc and want to get printer drivers to work with macbook air.  How do I do that?

    I just switched from pc and want to get my HP all in one printer to work with macbook air.  Is it just as simple as downloading drivers from HP?

    Turn the printer on and plug the printer into the MBA and your mac should install the printer for you (usually any necessary drivers too).  I had a printer I used on a pc and I plugged it into my macs usb port and my mac automatically recognized it and took care of everything for me.  If you do this and it wont print, then yes go to the HP website the install latest drivers for 10.7
    Also, as a new mac user you should find these articles helpful:

    Generally signing out and signing in (signing out and back into the Creative Cloud application ) will fix this. If it isn't resolving the issue for you, let us know what you see and we can try something else.
