My iphone is no longer showing up as an option in network connections

I've been using my iphone's data to connect to the internet on my pc and my ipad for ages. The last few weeks, it kept dropping out and I had to turn personal hotspot off and on again to reconnect. Yesterday however, a new problem arose. I turn the hotspot on and both my pc and my ipad are not even showing my iphone as an option to use as a wireless internet connection. I have reset netowrk settings'' but the problem persists. Any help greatly appreciated!

Double check that you tried everything here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2756
Also double check with your phone carrier that your account is provisioned to use hotspot.

  • After changing contact photo on iPhone, photo no longer shows up in outlook

    I had my contact photos all setup on my iphone, and syncing correctly with iTunes and showing up correctly in Outlook 2007. The photos are stored on the iPhone, and set either by selecting the photo and doing "Assign to Contact", or in Contacts, Edit, Edit (the picture) and "Choose Photo". They would show up as a thumbnail in the Outlook 2007 Business Card view, and also in the detail when you double-click a contact. This part of the process hasn't changed.
    What has changed is iOS4. Now, when I go in and change a contact's photo on the iPhone, it no longer shows up correctly in Outlook 2007. It shows a blank space when showing the Business card view, but shows the photo correctly in the detail if I double-click a contact. Even if I change it back to the photo that it was, it still won't show correctly in Outlook 2007 Business Card view.
    Contacts whose photos I haven't changed since iOS4 show correctly in both places in Outlook 2007.
    Anyone else seeing this or have a fix?

    Hi!
    I'm having the same troubles and after searching for a while i found
    the following solution:
    In short (from http://gyoo.com/blog/?p=48)
    First, some figures:
    iPhone camera resolution: 1600×1200 (72dpi)
    iPhone screen resolution: 320×480 (160dpi)
    iPhone contact picture display size: 64×64 (160dpi)
    iPhone contact picture display size on call: 320×270 (160dpi)
    Outlook import resolution: 72×96 (72dpi)
    - On your PC, resize the image contact to 320×320 (160dpi),
    knowing that 25 pixels on the top and bottom will be semi-transparent when on call.
    - On your PC, create a folder iPhone Photos\Contacts and move your contact photos inside Sync the photos into your iPhone with iTunes through the Photos tab.
    - Select the iPhone Photos folder as source.
    - Manually associated the photo to your contact on the iPhone
    (Edit ->Add Photo->Choose Existing Photo)
    - Sync back the iPhone with iTunes.
    The photos will be associated automatically into Outlook with the good resolution this time.
    Regards
    Harry

    My internal speaker no longer shows as an output option; has anyone encountered this before?

    Hopefully one of these steps should solve the problem.
    1. System Preference > Sound > Output > Internal Speakers
        Highlight  Internal Speakers / Headphones
        Make sure Mute is not enabled.
    2. Remove the headphone.
        If you see red light in the headphone port, plug the headphone
        in and out of the port 5 or 6 times to flip the microswitch inside.
        Sound output may be stuck in the digital mode.
    3. Reset PRAM.  http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
    4. Reset SMC.     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
        Choose the method for:
        "Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own".
    5. Applications > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup
        Audio Devices window
        Side Bar
        Click the Built-in Output.
        Under Mute any of the boxes checked? If so, uncheck it.
        Option click the speaker icon, if present and select Internal Speakers.

  • When I plug my iphone into the computer to restore it I receive a "network connection timed out" message. However, all of our other iphones and ipod touches will connect fine.

    When I plug my iphone into the computer to restore it I receive a "network connection timed out" message.  However, when I plug in other iphones or ipod touches I can connect fine.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Try a powered external USB hub.  It uses a 120V AC wall jack to power USB devices, and the Mac only needs to provide *just enough* to comminucate.  Best Buy, Target, Walmart, ... about $20.

  • Iphone 3G no longer shows charging or recognized by PC

    Iphone 3G 3.1.2 no longer shows to be charging when connected to my PC or to a wall outlet. The computer does not recognize it at all, tried putting it into DFU and still, no recognition. What I've discovered is, that it does actually charge when plugged in, just doesnt show to be. Like, I get no lightning bolt when plugged in. I let the phone stay on until it died, ofcourse once I powered it on, I got the black screen with the red battery, so when I plugged it in to the PC, I got the lightning bolt and the phone turned on. Still doesnt show to be charging once inside the Iphone's OS. I thought it might have been a faulty dock connector, so i bought another and replaced it, nothing changed. I have 2 other iphones and they work perfectly fine with the same cable and same computer. I thought maybe a restore would do something, but I cant even get the PC to recognize it, so thats out of the question. Does anybody know what it might be? The only thing I can see is a faulty mainboard...

    I have the same problem. Mine was water damaged though. The indicators inside the Iphone are red but not the charger port or earphone jack ones. I don't get anything when I plug it in. I swapped the charging port also and nothing.

  • How Come My iPhone 3G No Longer Shows Up in iTunes?

    All of a sudden my iPhone doesn't show up in the iTunes sidebar on my 20" iMac, but using the same cable it does on my MacBook. I have tried plugging it in diretly to the iMac as well as to my Belkin hub, but it no longer shows up in iTunes, nor does it charge when plugged it. The iPhone stays dark when first pluged in.
    Does anyone know why when plugging in the iPhone 3G or my iPod Classic (old school) it won't load on the side bar of iTunes? It is like it does not exist. I have done all updates. I restarted my computer a couple of times and finally got the iPod Classic to load but still the iPhone 3G shows nothing. It won';t even boot my phone up to charge it but will the iPod.
    I use the iPhone on my MackBook with the same cord and it loads to iTunes and starts to sync. Same with the iPod. Both computers are running the same software. Since it works on the MacBook and use to work on then iMac G5 I am thinking it may have something to do with the updates for iTunes. I use the MacBook to charge the iPhone and iPod sometimes but the main computer for syncing is the iMac. Only nothing seems to work. After restarting the iMac several times the iPod seems to work then not work. I am frustrated. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    hi John, i have my doubt that it has something to do with authorization/deauthorization. I have read somewhere before that the iPhone (not sure about iPod) can only be "paired" with one mac and if you want to synch it with another one, you need to deauthorize the initial one first. Inside iTune up on its menu bar under Store, there are 2 options that said authorize and deauthorize. Now i haven't tried this before as i only got myself one mac, so i have no past experience here with this particular case. May be some other experienced users can shed some light on this and share with us, before you try out?

  • IPhone 3GS no longer shows in Find my iPhone

    I just up dated my iPhone 5, 4S, and iPad 2 to iOS 7, now my 3GS (ipod use only) no longer shows in the Find my iPhone device listing.  Any ideas why this may be?

    I have the exact same problem. And my wife's iphone 5 also has the same problem. Anyone knows the resolution? It worked fine before we restored both phones. Thanks.

  • My Iphone 4s no longer shows the symbol Airplay after the download of IOS7

    Dear sir:
    My Iphone 4S was working properly with the operating system IOS 6.1.4. Then I have loaded the IOS 7 and so far it no longer shows the AirPlay Symbol.
    I have loaded at my Iphone 4S the software 1.3.2. with no help. My Airport Express box has a software version 7.6.4.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Luiz

    iOS 7 moved the AirPlay icon to Control Center.
    To show Control Center, make sure your Home screen is displayed (press the Home button once), then swipe up from the bottom.

  • How Come My iPhone 3G No Longer Shows Up Nor Charges in iTunes??

    All of a sudden my iPhone 3G doesn't show up in the iTunes sidebar on my 20" iMac, but using the same cable, it does on my MacBook's iTunes. I have tried plugging it in directly to the iMac as well as to my Belkin hub, but it no longer shows up in iTunes, nor does it charge when plugged it. The iPhone stays dark when first plugged into the iMac now. I have restarted the iMac a few times, I have powered the iPhone on and off, and I have reset the iPhone more than once....... all with no change. However, the iPod now does show in the sidebar and on the Desktop, and it charges now after the iMac restarts were done. All the software is updated on both computers and on the iPhone 3G. Does anyone have any other suggestions to try. The iPhone 3G works in every other way as usual.
    Thanks for your help!

  • HT5868 After updating to ios 7, my iphone is no longer showing as a storage device in Windows 7

    Priot to updating my iphone 5 to ios 7, my device showed up in My Computer as a device and I simply copied a bunch of photos to Windows 7 and then deleted them from my iphone in the Windows folder. After the ios update, my phone is no longer showing as a Device with Removable Storage on my computer. I restarted my computer and also clicked the trust this computer option on my phone. (Synching with itunes works perfectly so I know the connection is ok) Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    I Just found it on the apple site, it arrived on a cd a few days later and worked just fine again.
    i would recommend backing everything up just in case. Better safe than sorry, trust me. I've lost so much when i didnt back up once when re-installing the system.
    IT shoulldnt erase everything, bt it might, so back up just in case
    should you loose everything, then i have some tips on moving stuff fromyour iphone/ipod to the computer
