IPhone personal hotspot

Anyone know if I can connect the Apple TV to the Personal Hotspot network created by my iPhone?
And if I can use the network to stream photos, audio and movies from the iPad to the Apple TV using Airplay?
I see that when I connect my iPad to the network, then the symbol in the menu bar is a couple of interlocked rings, not the usual WiFi fan... what does this mean?

I would say in theory the AppleTV should be able to connect to an iPhone hotspot but I've never tried, so can't say in practice.  I've used a 'mi-fi' device with AppleTv and iPad linked but if you're not in an area (eg remote campsite) where the internet is accessible, DRM protected content will not play to AppleTV as authorisation is required via the internet, and it's a right pain in the neck.
Even if phone internet bandwidth was poor this might be a good way to use AppleTV 'on the go' with the phone behaving as a portable router however.
Clearly if you wanted to use rentals/internet features on AppleTV you would need pretty good bandwidth on the phone and a decent data plan.

    Maybe you are looking to re-purpose this equipment versus getting rid of it if so, the best thing to do is search the internet for tutorials.  And I say this because it's what I would do, there are a lot of tutorials online.    Hope you can find good use for them.  Worse case scenario if you can't find something right now, package them very nicely and when you come across something unbox and enjoy.  I've re-purposed a mac color classic and LOVE IT!!

  • MacBook Pro problem with iPhone personal hotspot connection

  • Can I use my iPhone personal hotspot with my PC?

    Can I use my iPhone personal hotspot with my PC?

    Turn on Personal Hotspot on your iPhone, and then look for your iPhone's name in your computer's Wifi network list and connect to it.
    It works essentially the same as a regular wifi network.

  • HT4628 connecting to iphone personal hotspot

    I was able to connect to my iPhone personal hotspot via wi-fi.  Now I can only connect via USB cable to my iPhone.  Any thoughts?

    I have an update to this problem.
    If I first connect to the iPhone's network using my iPad then subsequently connect my MBA to the network (I did this whilst the iPad was still connected to the iPhone), browsing works!
    If I then disconnect both devices and reconnect just the MBA, I am back to square one - browsing doesn't work.
    I have now posted this question in the Lion community too as I'm starting to think that this is more of a software issue.

  • When connecting ipad to iPhones personal hotspot via wifi it is showin up as 2 connections when only 1 device is connected. Is someone hacking my phone?

    When connecting ipad to my iPhones personal hotspot via wifi it is showin up as 2 connections when only 1 device is connected. Is someone hacking my phone? I only figured out I had a problem when my partner did the exact same set up and it showed up as only 1 device connected. I have changed the password and turned it off/on and etc. the really weird thing is now when my ipad is turned off and I turn my iphone personal hotspot on it shows up with 1 connection (when I don't have anything connected) for about 5 secs and then goes off and then 1 device connected for about 5 secs and then back off. This just keeps going on and off. What is going on. Could my phone have a bug or be hacked. Please help as it is kinda freaking me out. Thanks.

    Hello asrt17,
    This may occur if your iPhone is connected to your computer via USB, as it will automatically share the connection via USB.
    iOS: Troubleshooting Personal Hotspot
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2756
    When Personal Hotspot is enabled, your iOS device automatically shares your Internet connection with your computer when connected using USB.
    Example: When you connect iPhone to your computer to charge or sync with iTunes. To avoid unnecessary data charges, turn off Personal Hotspot when not in use.
    Cheers,
    Allen

  • How do i connect my windows vista laptop to iPhone personal hotspot? Will it still work if my laptop doesnt have iTunes installed?

    I am currently using iPhone 4 and windows vista laptop. i cant seem to get my windows vista laptop to connect to the personal hotspot on my iPhone using USB. Is it because iTunes is not installed in my windows vista laptop?
    I have tried it on a MacBook Pro and it works perfectly fine.

    when you switch your hotspot on your phone you will see a user password - when you switch your laptop on and search for your iphone connect and you will be asked for the user password once you enter it and click connect you will link the two devices and they will work together as long as you have a good signal and good data allowance you shouldn't have any issues

  • Since update, computer won't connect to iPhone personal hotspot through USB cable

  • Latest itunes update disbled my iphone personal hotspot on 1-22-2014

    On 1/22/2014 I downloaded the latest itunes update. When it was done itunes would not recognize my iphone and my computer would not connect with iphone for internet. I use my iphone4s as a personal hotspot to access the internet. I had to do a computer system restore just to get the phone and computer to work together via USB cable to access internet. I then was able to update the Ralink driver to enable wi-fi. I seem to have everything working now. Why did this happen? Should I ever allow itunes updates again?

    SOLVED, BY MYSELF
    Ok, so I had to post this because I didn't get any help anywhere, and I hope that my experience will help others. I can't tell you how many times I tried uninstalling and reinstalling itunes to see if that helped. No. What I finally did out of frustration, is under add/remove programs, removed everything apple related from my pc: itunes, safari, quicktime, apple application support, apple mobile device support, apple software update, bonjour, and mobileme. Then I reinstalled itunes. Finally itunes recognized my iphone, and I didn't lose any of my music. Hope this helps everyone who has had a similar problem running windows xp.

  • 2011 air with iPhone personal hotspot

    Hi all,
    I have got a 2011 Macbook Air 13" and an iPhone 4, both up-to-date with Lion and iOS versions.
    I use the Personal Hotspot feature a lot. I have set it a a favourite Network on all my Macs but it does not behave 100% on the Air: with a Snow Leopard MacBook Pro and a 2008 iMac, when I enable Personal Hotspot, both machines find the iPhone stratight away and connect to it. However on the Air I have to always go into the WiFi menu and THEN it finds th iPhone. It does not do that, however, with other WiFi networks eg. my home Cisco router or AirPorts.
    Any ideas? Perhaps a teeny Lion bug?
    Cheers,
    KW

    Hmm... Seems that I am the only Community Member who use their iPhone 4 and tethering to the 2011 MacBook Air... I don't like being special!
    Anyway - last week's Lion update didn't solve the issue so... any thoughts?... Anyone?...

  • X200 using iPhone personal hotspot failure

    I've got a friend with an X200. He is trying to use his iPhone 4s as a  personal hotspot. The phone is set up correctly because we can connect to it using my laptop (not an X200). My laptop connects using WPA2/AES.
    When we try connecting using Access Connections, the association fails. I tried all four modes WPA/TKIP WPA/AES WPA2/TKIP WPA2/AES. All failed. When I click on the help me fix this button and get the report here's the error and recommended actions:
    Connection status:        Disconnected
    Cause:        Association Failed
    Error code:        011
    Recommended actions:
    Verify that the encryption settings (WEP/TKIP/AES) specified in this profile match those expected by the wireless network.
    Verify that the wireless adapter in your computer has not been restricted from accessing the radio channels being used by the wireless network.
    As I said, we tried all the encryption settings and checked the key several times. The phone is using channel 2.
    This is the Adapter info:
    Adapter Details
    Adapter name        Intel(R) WiFi Link 5100 AGN                                     
    Adapter type        Wireless LAN                                                    
    Adapter speed        150.0 Mbps                                                      
    Driver/Firmware version        12.2.1.2/ N/A                                                   
    Adapter status        Enabled                                                         
    Connection Status        Disconnected                                                    
    Disable unused cards?        No
    The first fix I tried was to update the BIOS and Access Connections (5.85). Still wouldn't work and gave the same errors.
    Any suggestions as to what to try next?
    Thanks
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Apply this patch on AC 5.85. This is for Win 7.

  • IPhone Personal Hotspot Privacy

    Personal Hotspot Privacy (or How Does One Really Turn This Off?)
    Hi:
    On my iPhone 6, under Settings>Personal Hotspot, this option is turned “Off”.
    Yet on my iPad, under Settings>Wi-Fi, under the “Personal Hotspots” category, I see my iPhone 6 listed as an option.
    What does this mean? Even if no one else can connect to this hotspot since a password is required, it bothers me that this information is being broadcast for others to see. Is there any way I can truly turn this hotspot off so that my name is not broadcast to anyone near?
    Any advice/explanation would be appreciated.
    Thank you!
    PS iOS 8.1.2 on both devices

    Hi CharPatton,
    If you are seeing this on two iOS devices that are both running iOS 8 and are both set up using your Apple ID, the information in question is most likely not being broadcast over the air from your iPhone (unless you are also seeing it on unrelated devices). Rather, this is most likely a function of the Instant Hotspot feature of Continuity under iOS 8, which allows for easy cellular data connection sharing to devices on the same account:
    Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity - Apple Support
