My iPhone 5 keeps wanting to connect to my hot spot

My iPhone 5 keeps on wanting to connect to my hot spot. will not let me select to setting to stop can some one help

Hi RouxWessels,
Are you saying that you are unable to go to Settings and turn your Personal Hotspot to OFF?
If that is the case, the article below will provide some troubleshooting steps:
iOS: Troubleshooting Personal Hotspot
Basic troubleshooting
Confirm that your iOS device, computer, and wireless plan all meet the system requirements for Personal Hotspot.
Verify that Personal Hotspot is enabled by tapping Settings > General > Cellular > Personal Hotspot.
Verify the Internet connection on your iOS device by tapping Safari and loading a new webpage.
If one connection type doesn't work, try another (for example, instead of connecting using Wi-Fi, try using USB or Bluetooth).
Try disabling and reenabling Personal Hotspot from Settings > Personal Hotspot or Settings > General > Cellular > Personal Hotspot.
Install the latest version of iOS. Tap Settings > General > Software Update.
Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
If none of the previous steps resolves your issue, restore the iPhone.
If you are still experiencing issues, continue with the following troubleshooting steps.Collapse All Sections | Expand All Sections

Additional Information
Additional tips
Depending on your cellular network connection, incoming or outgoing phone calls may interrupt your Personal Hotspot connection. After you end the call, Personal Hotspot should automatically reconnect with your devices.
If you are outside your wireless carrier's network coverage area, you may be roaming. If that is the case, you will need to have Settings > General > Cellular > Data Roaming set to On to use Personal Hotspot.Data roaming charges will apply. Check with your wireless carrier if you are roaming to verify any additional charges.
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.
I hope this information helps ....
Have a great day!

Why does my iphone 4 keep dropping wifi connection since ios5.0.1update

Why does my iphone 4 keep dropping wifi connection since ios5.0.1 update, it worked perfectly before, my wifes 3gs connects fine and stays connected while my £400 paperweight losses connection, thinking of going back to nokia! Sort it out apple!

If the "oh so Great Apple" were to monitor these forums then they might see all the problems
that the people who have paid good money for their devices are having, i suppose they can do no wrong
In your eyes, i just thought that if you pay a lot of money for a product that works fine, and you update
It with a firmware update that they kept going on about how good it was and it can do this and it can
Do that, then i think they should sort it out. I don't care if i "don't deserve to be an apple owner" or not,
The fact is i paid my money and it should do what its suppose to do, i moved from Nokia to Apple because
The N97 was crap and i put up with it for too long, and they didn't do anything to fix the bugs they just stopped
Selling it and basically said tough s**t, so now this is happened i hoped Apple whould be better but they seem
To be just like the rest.

IPhone 4 keeps loseing wifi connection

IPhone 4s keeps trying to connect to a Macbook Hotspot but no internet

Hello,
I've setup a hotspot on my macbook (OS X10.5.8 leopard) and created a WEP 128 bit password. I found the network on my iphone 4s, selected the network, entered the password.
The iphone4s keeps trying to connect to the network (the moving circle that means something is loading) keeps appearing beside the network's name without turning into a tick when the nwtwork is selected. this happens although sometimes the wifi bars appear at the top of the iphone screen.
When i got a website on safari, i get "can't open the page because you're not connected to the internet"
Anyone knows what is the solution?
Thanks

I figured it out. Thanks for taking the time to read. Incidentally, if this happens to you: Go to your PODCASTS. find the annoying podcast that is causing the issue. Delete that bad boy.

Can't load SSL sites when connected to Verizon Hot Spot

So I'm testing out a Verizon iPhone for my company. Great experience so far; only one dropped phone call!
Recently, when connected to the internet via the phone's hot spot, I'm no longer able to load SSL websites. A good example of this is logging into gMail. Moreover, I can load the Facebook login page, however I cannot complete login and I can't verify any certificates (or force trust or anything). Moreover, my company/personal e-mail won't load either.
Once I try to force the certificate, I'm taken to a Verizon page about enabling the Hot Spot feature (which doesn't make sense, since I can browse other sites just fine and the feature is already being paid for by my company).
Has anyone else experienced this?
The issue persists on all devices (iPad, other iPhones, computer), I've reset network settings, changed my hot spot password, performed a hard reset; nothing seems to work.

Those two are essentially the same owners, same place.

I really think it's something with them, but have you tried tweaking the settings yet on the MBP? Like MTU & such?

Can't connect to attwifi hot spots

After the iPhone 3.0 update, the phone appears to try to auto-connect to the attwifi hot spots when I run Safari, but it just displays a "Connecting" screen and the spinning clock(?) thing forever and ever. I tried the old Easy WiFi app, but as I'm not connected, it can't log me in because I'm nnot connected. Nice how that works, isn't it? Anyway, please help if you can. Direct me to a manual login if possible or help me figure out this auto-connect business. Thanks.

On your iPhone, go to Settings > General > Reset, and select Reset Network Settings.
This will erase all wi-fi network settings stored on your iPhone. This will require re-connecting to all wi-fi networks that you have access to along with re-entering the password for protected wi-fi networks.

Connecting to Personal Hot Spot

I have difficulty connecting a new iMac to my Personal Hot Spot (phone or iPad) through my WiFi icon in the menu bar. The device shows up but it will not connect and I'm forced to open Network Settings in the System Preferences, search for the Hot Spot under Networks, then connect. My old iMac would always connect via the menu bar. Is there a setting I am missing?

The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.

HOWTO: Connect Alien Wireless Hot Spot To Time Capsule/Airport

I switched over to a wireless device as my ISP, as my local Cable company boosted the bill 50%, and there is no DSL or any other service. A nice '10GB' plan. I should be able to eck by on that.
Naturally, my little 4G 'Hot Spot' works great with a computer or two connected to it wirelessly. But there are no ethernet ports, and it basically 'blocks' when a Time Machine backup goes through it to the Time Capsule, when that connects to it. Its little CPU is too busy with that backup to respond to other requests. It's itty bitty humming bird heart can't take it. Sigh.
After discovering that Apple does not allow one to bridge (aka 'extend') a wireless network unless it supports 'WDS' was an annoyance. Naturally the little pocket-sized hot spot box doesn't support 'WDS'. The point where I discovered that Apple's firmware DISABLES the switched ethernet ports when it connected to an existing wireless network was especially annoying.
After a little brainstorming and searching around I determined that THERE IS A WAY!: Old School!
Various manufacturers make a device called a 'Wireless Ethernet Bridge'. What this is intended for is ethernet peripherals like game consoles or printers or computers that don't have a wireless connection. It connects to the wireless network FOR an ethernet wired device that can't. Even ones that can't because the manufacturer is being an [expletive deleted].
So, basically jump through the hoops required to configure your bridge to connect to your wireless network, whatever it may be, plug it into the 'WAN' port of the Airport/Time Capsule router, and set the time capsule/airport to 'Bridge' the connection.
Green light!
I posted the gruesome details on this site...

Iphone 5s keeps asking to connect to itunes

I just bought a new iphone 5s and it keeps asking me to connect to itunes when I chose to restore from my iphone 4 backup on my computer. How do I get past the itunes connection stage?

Restore it as a new device. Do NOT restore your backup. See how it behaves. It's entirely possible there is corruption within the backup that's causing the problem.

My ipad will not connect to the hot spot on my new iphone

My ipad will not connect to my hotspot on my new phone and I do not know how to delete the old phone? Does anyone have an answer?
Thanks

Did you look in the date and time settings at all? Settings>General>Date & Time>Set Automatically>On. There are a nmber of users reporting issues with the app store and iTunes connection problems in the last couple of days. I'm starting to wonder it it an Apple server issue but I am having no problems at all.

I just figured out the print quality issue for my wife with her new iMac and new printer.
She replaced both at once and she couldn't understand why her Artisan 730 was lower quality then her Epson R280 when they had the same specs.
Turns out the newer printer had the option to connect via wifi which we used during setup.
The driver options are completely different depending on how you connect.
Once I connected via USB the correct options were available and the print quality was better.
Looking at the R2400 it dies not have wifi, but while researching the problem for my wife someone esle was having an issue updating to the latest printer driver.
If you go into the print utility from the Printer and Scanner system preference and under the general tab you should have driver 5.5.
One user had to delete the old printer driver before Software Update loaded the newer printer driver.

On my MacBook Pro (w Snow Leopard) I always had to reconnect my wifi at home when it woke up. I upgraded my router from an old Netgear to a newer N D-Link and stopped having to do that.
I would be surprised you would have that problem with an Airport Extreme, you might check to see if there is a firmware update for it.

HT2822 Apple TV connection : xfinity hot spot?

a computer could connect to the hot spot and if the computer was set to share it's internet then maybe the Apple TV could connect to the computer
