Other wireless devices couldn't not detect my iPhone as a hotspot

Please help me how to get this working. Everything is working fine in my iPhone except the hotspot and I have tried all kinds of resets that I know of.

It almost looks like there is something on the phone that is corrupting it
I would back it up to iTunes
Restore to factory settings
See if the problem recurs before restoring the backup or any apps

  • My Apple ID & password work just fine on all my other Apple devices, but tonight, not on my iPhone.

    I have had trouble in the past with my iPhone suddenly needing me to input my password again for Apple ID, iTunes, etc.  Usually I just reboot the phone and input it successfully.  But not tonight.  This has been a really weird night.  My iMac works ok: accepts my sign-in with no problem.  My Mac Air also has no problem: that's what I am writing this on.  Also, my iPad had no problems signing into the App Store and iTunes, altho it had some other strange problems (this space wouldn't show the lettering as I was typing: very odd....).  But I have booted and rebooted my iPhone about 4 times this evening, and tried 2-3 times each re-boot to sign in to iCloud, and the **** thing keeps telling me my password and/or ID are incorrect!  I am ready to throw the **** thing across the room!  iPhone 6 running the latest iOS update as of yesterday.  What the **** is going on?

  • ITunes purchased videos and all DRM movies will not play on iOS 8 devices when streamed from an external drive (or streamed from other wireless devices). Any solution in sight?

    Video streaming of DRM movies, purchased from iTunes and other vendors, to any iOS device is not working.

    I am not sure if you really understand the issue at hand. Possibly that you are just scanning, not reading the whole text, or simply that you just want to close a thread with your last words or derail it for whatever strange reason. So far you have been more destructive than helpful, but again this could be ignorance at best.
    If you would have had the decency to read the entire thread you would have come to the conclusion that every manufacturer, I came across, has posted FAQ's to this issue but Apple. Find a short excerpt below:
    SeaGate  http://knowledge.seagate.com/articles/en_US/FAQ/006135en?language=en_US <http://knowledge.seagate.com/articles/en_US/FAQ/006135en?language=en_US> Playing DRM (Digital Rights Management) protected movies in Seagate Media App Information regarding remote streaming of DRM protected movies. Most forms of DRM (Digital Rights Management) will prevent playing movies on unauthorized devices or from remote storage hosted on wireless drives or NAS drives(Seagate Wireless, Seagate Wireless Plus, Seagate Central or Seagate Personal Cloud). Movies purchased from iTunes can be streamed to iOS 6 and iOS 7 devices which were authorized from remote storage (the video could be selected in Seagate Media App and would be played in a Safari browser), however in iOS 8 this has stopped working. A bug has been filed with Apple, however this functionality has not been restored. Therefore, DRM protected movies purchased on iTunes can no longer be played on devices running iOS 8.

The DRM protected content is opened in Safari where the DRM is decrypted and the video is played. iOS 8 issue In iOS 8 Apple device has NOT enabled Safari based DRM decryption. Therefore DRM protected content, i.e. purchased movies or TV shows from iTunes, CANNOT be streamed from the Media Drive/WFD in iOS 8. This issue has been reported to Apple.

Here are the remaining issues that we are aware of in the iOS 8 general release: • Video streaming of DRM movies (purchased from iTunes and other vendors): iTunes purchased videos and all DRM movies will not play on iOS 8 devices when streamed from AirStash (or streamed from other wireless devices). These movies are digitally protected and the AirStash app sends them to the Safari browser to play (which works for all prior iOS versions). However, in iOS 8, Safari will no longer allow DRM movies to play. These movies will play when the video is transferred to the iPhone/iPad and played in the Apple's Video App or the corresponding App from the vendor.

If this is the case and Apple will not address this issue or fix it since Apple believes that movies should be protected this way, you need to let the community know that movies are restricted this way.

  • After a Windows 8.1 automatic update yesterday my other wireless devices like smart phones, tablets, etc can't use my routers wireless signal unless my laptop is turned on

    Hi guys, please help, I'm desperate.
    After an automatic update to my windows 8.1 yesterday none of my other other wireless devices like smart phones, tablets, etc. can join my wireless network unless my laptop is turned on.  If I turn my laptop off, after a couple of minutes my iphone,
    my wife's iphone  and my Galaxy Tab lose connection and are unable to join my router's network. When I turn my laptop back on, all the other devices are able to use my router's wireless internet without any problems.  How can I fix this???
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    First, I suggest to reset the router, meanwhile disable the network card and enable it again, because it is obviously network issue.
    Then, as you post this happened after windows update, try to find the update that was already installed on your computer
    Restore your computer by following the way listed below:
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/restore-refresh-reset-pc
    Hide the  update if it is not an important one and related to wireless internet according to this article:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/ff382716.aspx
    I hope it works for you .

  • WVC210 Device manger does not detect camera driver

    Hi, Iam doing a java application project which captures a vedio from linksys wvc210 network camera, the problem is the device manager does not detect the camera as one of the imaging devices or as any, and so the jmf registry editor does not also detect the camera in which i am stuck on how to make java detect it and work on it which is impossible without being detected with the jmf registry so i need windows first to detect it at the device manager which will lead jmf registry editor to also detect it.
    note that: the camera installation worked properly and i can access it normally. by the way iam using windows vista.
    any help please...

    First of all, thanks for ur reply, i will state the problem again: iam doing a java api application using the java media framework (JMF), the application goal is to capture a vedio from the ip camera, the application is done and works with my web cam which is detected by the java capture device manager, on the other hand the capture device manager does not detect the ip camera as one of the captured device in which i can't run my application on it. So the easiet way is to make windows detect it as one of the devices at the device manager so java capture device manager can detect it and my application will work immediatly. any suggestions ?

    Thanks again for you help.  I finally got the music resting on my iPad moved into iTunes and then got the music resting on my iPod backed up in iTunes.  Final step was to get the music on my iPad onto my iPod without loading the iPod music onto the iPad.  I use my iPod strictly for music and don't want to clog my iPad with all those songs.   Anyway, long process but it worked.  Thanks again.

  • New imac 27(Intel based,bought 2013) slow wifi connection with my Verizon fios actiontec router. All other wireless devices in the house(ipad 3gen,MacBook Air ,hp laptop) have a much faster connection. Should I change router settings to G only,etc

    New imac 27(Intel based,bought 2013) slow wifi connection with my Verizon fios actiontec router. All other wireless devices in the house(ipad 3gen,MacBook Air ,hp laptop) have a much faster connection. Should I change router settings to G only,switch channel from auto to maybe 6,channel width to 20mhz? Already changed security settings to WPA2.  Currently router is running in mixed b and g mode.

    If you have one computer running on G they will all run on G. All ROUTERS are backward compatible, in otherwords if you have a group of computers and all of them are N compatible and one or two are G They will all work but the N computers will run at N and those that are G will run at G speed not N.
    It can get confusing but really it is simple. The newest is 802.11 AC and ic used with the newest Mac Computers made available in November 2013. So if you have the newest Airport Extreme that is 802.11ac and the newest computers that are AC compliant your speed will be 5 times faster than anything on the market right now.

  • HT1695 i bought a used ipod touch and reset it to the factory settings via itunes and now i'm trying to set it up like new and it won't let me sign in with an apple id it says it can't connect to the server.  Other wireless devices are working HELP?!

    I am trying to set up  my daughters ipod touch after resetting it to factory settings.  So I am trying to sign in using an apple id.  It says won't connect to the servier, but I have other wireless devices connected, so I know my wi fi is working. What now? Thanks

    Return it and get a refund. Without the prior owner's Apple ID and password that device is useless. Find My iPhone Activation Lock- Removing a device from a previous owner’s account. You were screwed by the ignorance of the pawn shop owner.

  • HT1386 iTunes will not detect my iPhone(5s) after the most recent update.

    Ever since i updated iTunes it will not detect my iPhone, every time i plug it in it asks to trust the computer which I always use to sync my iPhone. Every time i select "trust this computer" and it still won't detect it. PLEASE HELP.

    Hello fercho965,
    Sorry to hear that your iPhone is currently not recognized by iTunes.  I found an article with steps you can take when you experience an issue like this.  I wasn't sure whether you were using a Windows or Mac computer, so I included the respective articles for each:

  • Hi; I updated my iTunes to the latest version (11.1.4.62), but it does not detect my iPhone 4s any more.

    Hi,
    I updated my iTunes to version 11.1.4.62, but it does not detect my iPhone 4s any more. I have tried the following ways but still did not work:
    Rebooted the computer
    Rebooted the iPhone
    plugged and unplugged the USB cable multiple times and to various USB ports
    Uninstalled and installed the i-Tunes
    Signed out the iTunes and signed in again
    my USB cable and ports are all ok
    my ios version on iPhone is : 7.4.4
    my laptop os is windows 8.1 and my processor is: Intel Core i7-3610QM @ 2.30 GHz
    I appreciate your help.

    I find this on another post and tried it.  It WORKED.  I had to modify to fit my situation but give it a try.  Good luck.
    Go to Windows 8.1 Control Panel.
    Go to Hardware and Sound; Devices and Printers; Device Manager; Portable Devices (look for Apple IPad)
    Right-click, then select properties on the menu list.
    Under the "Driver" tab menu, confirm the update driver button is not greyed out.  If the update driver button is grey and unselectable, you need to select and click "Change Settings" button located near the lower left corner.
    Now you can click the "Driver" tab menu near the top, so you can see the "Update Driver" button.
    Select "Update Driver".
    Select and click "Browse my computer for driver software".
    For Windows 8.1 64 bit, it should be located in the folder: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers. 
    Click Next, and let the driver re-install.
    iTunes  11.1.4.62 should open automatically if your iphone is connected already.

  • ITunes 10 does not detect my iPhone

    i recently upgraded to itunes 10, and i have a 1st gen iphone. after upgrading, i synced my iphone and everything went fine. soon after that, i had a totally unrelated hard disk drive failure. luckily all my data were backed up, apple replaced my hard disk, and i restored all my data. however, when i tried to connect my iphone to itunes to sync, itunes would not detect the iphone. i tried many fixes, the only one that worked was to reinstall itunes 10 (which is a pain, because you have to get rid of lots of files.) last night, after reinstalling itunes 10, i connected my iphone and itunes detected it and synced. i thought the issue was solved for good and maybe was related to the restoring of the backed up data. however, i just tried to sync again, but the problem has re-appeared. my itunes does not detect my iphone.
    the console message i get is as follows:

    i thought that usbmuxd is built for linux, but is it doing in itunes 10? but it must belong to it, because i also got this (i think when booting, but i am not sure):

  • After I updated to iOS 5, my computer does not detect my iPhone 4. Not only that, all my backed up data was erased. =/ I cannot even sync my iPhone if it is not detected. What can I do?

    After I updated to iOS 5, my computer does not detect my iPhone 4. Not only that, all my backed up data was erased. =/ I cannot even sync my iPhone if it is not detected. What can I do? The USB ports are working. It is fully charged. I have restarted the phone and computer various times. But nothing works.

    There is no way to consolidate iTunes accounts.
    Setting up an iPhone has never required creation of a new Apple ID.
    You've apparently purchased content with both Apple ID's.  Sign into the device with the correct Apple ID and sync the content.
