My location services are frozen. Can I use my personal hotspot to backup and restore my phone?

My iPhone 4S was upgraded from the 6.1.2 to 6.1.3 and I expierenced a major malfunction. Immeadily after the upgrade my daughter installed a 4 shared app then she went on line and downloaded AppCaster. The AppCaster crashed then my google latitude app crashed. Now my location services are frozen. Is there any way I can back up and restore my iPhone using my personal hotspot. I can't get to a public hotspot to use my icloud backup?

one cant use the personal hotspot feature to restore the device coz the phone will d/connect as soon the restoration process is underway. you will need a PC/laptop t ocomplete this process,in case you dont then ,maybe go to the apple store and request them to restore it for you from icloud

HT204023 Can you use the personal hotspot on the iPhone 4 with an iPad 4th generation ?

Can I use the personal hotspot on the iPhone 4 with the iPad 4th generation which only has wifi ?
Thank you in advance for your help :)

Unlimited Internet is different than the carrier supporting the hotspot feature. I don't have an iPhone or an iPad with cellular. My limited knowledge about the hotspot is from reading support articles about it and from what I have read here in the forum.
I don't know that circumstances with the carriers have changed, but initially, the was an extra cost to enable the hotspot feature on the iDevice. I believe that Verizon was charging an additional $20 per month for the feature. Check out the support article that I posted above.
This is copied from that article that I posted above.
Note: If you do not see the option for Personal Hotspot, confirm with your carrier that this feature is supported and your wireless plan is configured for Personal Hotspot. For additional troubleshooting, see this article.

Using my personal hotspot to connect and set my ipad

Hi folks im having trouble using my personal hotspot to connect and set my ipad, the phone tells me thge ipad is connected to it via the hotspot but on the Ipad its founbd my phone and the little chain link hasd gone blue but i cant advance from this point to connect to itunes

Yes, the iPad will download app updates over your iPhone's cellular data. I just tested it. I was tethered to my iPhone using Bluetooth, which I figured to make it even less likely to do so, but as soon as I turned on auto updates it started updating apps.
It's not obvious at first either. You can't see any progress bars. You will just notice the number of pending updates gradually decreasing, and in the App Store "Updates" section you will notice apps appear as updated on this date.

HT204023 Can I use the personal hotspot on my iphone 4 to gain internet access on my Nexus 7? Do I need a tether cable?

I have an iPhone 4 with ios 6 with hotspot capability. Can I use this hotspot to gain internet access for my Nexus 7? And if so, does it require a tether cable or can I access via bluetooth? Was given the Nexus as a gift, would not have been my choice because of wi fi access capability restrictions. I am very technically challenged. Any help would be appreciated.

Perhaps it's the only device that can connect ( ie Hotel wifi)
If the iPhone can connect to the wifi, the computer can connect to the wifi.
Why use the iPhone to connect to wifi then connect the computer to the iPhone via wifi to get the computer onto hotel wifi?

Can I use the time capsule as backup and hard disk at the same time?

Hi.
I want to buy a time capsule.
I wondered, if I can use the time capsule as backup (over time machine) and as a hard disk at the same time?
If I buy the 2TB time capsule, I wanted to use 1TB for the backup and 1TB for hard disk.
Is this possible?
Best wishes
Sophie

It is not recommended.. the problem being anything stored on the TC only is not backed up and cannot be backed up by the TC itself or Time Machine. So what are you going to do about back.. the TC can and do die suddenly.. and the cost of recovery can be huge.
See Q3 here for the semi-right way to do it if you must.
http://pondini.org/TM/Time_Capsule.html
You can plug a USB drive into the TC and use that for files.. but note, its speed is poor.. fine for wireless as wireless is even slower but you will really notice it if you expect the drive to be as fast as the internal.. it will be a fraction of the internal drive speed. 1/2 write and 1/3 read aprox.

HT4759 Hi iv added iCloud to my iPhone 5 and doing so I've managed to wipe all contacts photos and now can't use IMessage, I went to backup and chose the wrong backup date, please can someone help me restore my phone back to how it was before I added iClo

Hi iv added iCloud to my iphone5 and by doing so I've now lost all contacts, photos and also my iMessage please can someone help me to restore my phone back to how it was before doing this? I went to backup and chose wrong backup date and I'm now stuck. This is driving me mad PLEASE someone help??

As far as I know you can't delete the primary email address for an iCloud account. It's assigned when the account is created. But your neighbor wouldn't have been able to get into your iCloud account without your Apple ID and password. Are you sure the account wasn't still on your phone when you gave it to him?
You could migrate a copy of your data to a new iCloud account but I would still be concerned that someone else was using my old account, which presumably still has your data in it.
I'm fairly certain that you're going to have to have iCloud support help you sort this one out as they may have the ability to make changes to an existing account that users can't. Make an appointment with the genius bar at a nearby Apple store and have them take a look at it. If necessary, they should be able to contact iCloud support for you.

Airprint for iPhone - can I use my personal hotspot?

Just bought and set up a airprint-capable HP Officejet Pro 8600 to use with my ipad and iphone 5. If it requires access to my active wifi, how does airprint work if I'm outiside my wifi area or in an area that is outside my wifi area and does not have access to any public wifi connection? Will airprint work on my iphone 5 when I connect to the internet with my personal hotspot? I tried the airprint at home via my wifi on my iPad and that worked fine (and recognized my HP 8600). Then I tried that on my iPhone 5 via my wifi connection. That also proved successful. Then I tried using airprint on the iPhone via my personal hotspot but there was no recognition of an airprint printer. I must say I am somewhat disappointed with the results I've gotten so far since HP makes the claim that I can print from the WEB from ANYWHERE. Thanks for any assistance you can render.

You can print from the web anywhere with the HP printer. However, it requires you to have the printer set up with the HP provided email address for the phone. Then, whenever you want to print something to the printer (from anywhere) you send it as an email. The printer receives it and prints it. Take a look back at the user guide.
You are confusing the ability of the iPhone to connect to an AirPrint capable printer (only on the same wifi network) with HP's ability to do web printing. Two completely different scenarios.

HT204023 What are the costs to use a personal hotspot

Does anyone know the cost to use a personal hot spot.

Personal Hotspots are control by your carrier. My carrier is Verizon and with my plan there is no additional cost for a hotspot.

My phone has frozen on a zoom position I have tried resetting and restoring the phone will restore but by putting my back up files on goes back to zoom on the screen

My phone has stuck on a zoom position meaning I cannot use any of the functions. I have tried resetting but the problem reoccurs. I tried restore but although it would go back to normal as soon as I put on the back up files it goes back to the problem.
How can I get into the settings?

Double Tap the Screen with 3 Fingers...
Then go to Settings > General > Accessibility and make sure Zoom is turned Off.

How can I download or use my personal hotspot?

I want to use my personal hotspot in this iPad? How?

Your tagline shows that you have an iPad2. You can't use the personal hotspot with the second generation iPad.

TS4006 "Find my IPhone" app on my iPad can't even locate the iPad I'm using. And I'm on a WiFi network and location services are turned on. Ideas?

I'm using the "Find my IPhone" app on my iPad and it can't even locate the iPad I'm using, not to mention the iPhone I'm looking for. They are both listed as devises, it just says they're both offline, which I know is wrong. I'm on a WiFi network and location services are turned on. Ideas?

Is Settings > Privacy > Location Services > Find My iPad turned ON?

My ipod touch was stolen. I installed mobile me but never had to use it. When I try to locate it it just comes back saying "location services are disabled". Does that mean that whoever has it has disabled the service or that they havent connected to wifi?

My car was broken into and my ipod touch was stolen. I installed the mobile me but have never had to use it. They renamed the ipod because when I sign in it says it is someone elses ipod...grrrrr!!!! It says location services are disabled. Does this mean that have turned off the locator settings or that they havent connected to wifi? I have been trying to locate it for 2 weeks now. Time to give up? Any info you could provide would be appreciated. Thanks!

They've probably restored it by now and when that happens, any email accounts/mobileme accounts that were on it are not there anymore.
I hate to say it, but you're most likely SOL.

My location services are not working in my ipad 3. ...... What shall I do?? Any suggestions???

Whenever I try to see my location,,,,, I can't why??

First, verify that location services are on and that the app you are using has been granted privledges to use it. Look in Settings > Privacy > Location Services.
Alos, if you have WiFi-only iPad, it does not contain a built-in GPS chip - only the 3G models do. Apple relies on a database of WiFi hot spot locations and it could be that your hotspot and those around you have never made it into that database.
What have you done to troubleshoot already? What were the results?
Have you read this support article about Location Services?

My location services are on and it is saying that I'm in Utah when I'm truly in Ohio

Ever since downloading the latest updates, my location services are saying that I am Utah instead of Ohio...not sure how to fix this...called customer support and they say as as long I'm using the correct time zone and location services are on, everything should be fine on there end.

What you're really doing is trying to create a new icloud account using an ID that is not currently associated with a user's account. A device can only do this a fixed number of times (3 or 5, don't remember), after which you must use a different device or computer to create the account.
