PERSONAL HOTSPOT MISSING IN IPAD MINI

Personal hotspot is missing on my ipad mini!! can anybody help me how to get it back or is it the issue with the carrier?

Hi,
I faced the same problem with my iPad mini iOS 8.1 version software.
After checking support communities I tried resetting the software by holding the power and the menu key together for about 15 seconds till the apple logo appeared and resetting the iPad. sometime after trying to 2 or 3 times yesterday the hotspot menu appeared but the same was not working. It always said contact carrier for using the same.
Then today when I went to carrier they could not solve the problem.
While checking again I noticed after restarting my iPad I again lost the hotspot menu.
Once again I started from beginning. In my case I could find the solution as given below:
1) Go to settings
2) Go to cellular data
3) Go to APN settings
here you will find 3 set up options:
a) cellular data
apn : kindly type the GPRS settings of your iPad internet services provider
example: aircelgprs or aircelgprs.po
something like that
leave username and password blank.
b) lte setup options should be used by late users same system as above kindly check with your service provider for the same.
c) personal hotspot
APN: pls set up same as the one using gprs setting or lte setting in case you are using lte.
leave username and password blank
after this i went back to main settings menu and restarted the phone. Hotspot menu was back with all its glory. I reset the phone again and it was still there.
I feel this solution may work since it feels systematically and logically ok.
I hope this solves the issue for all my friends worldwide who face this problem.
Thanks and Have a nice day with your iPhone or iPad.

    Assuming you are using OSX, connect iphone ny usb then go to system preferences. Go to network pane and scroll down to "wheel" and from the drop down select service order. If you see the iphone then drag it to the top of the list then select apply.

  • How do I get back my missing Personal Hotspot on My ipad mini?

    I had t before and I don't know what I did but its missing. I tried resetting Network settings, restoring but nothing works.

    You have it turned on in Settings > General > Cellular > Personal Hotspot ? And you haven't switched to a different tariff with your carrier ?

  • After the last update(7.1.2) i couldn't find personal hotspot in my iPad 2.

    after the last update(7.1.2) i couldn't find personal hotspot in my iPad 2 Wifi+Cellular. I did everything like reset network setting, restore to factory setting and set up as a new iPad but no change. My iPhone 5's carrier is 16.2 and after update to 7.1.2 it automatically ask me for carrier update but my iPad 2 ask nothing and the carrier is 16.1. Please, help me to solve this problem.

    The Personal Hotspot feature is not available on the iPad 2. I have no idea how you could have been using it before as you claim. BTW, your screenshots do not show up.

  • Can I use hotspot tethering in iPad mini with wifi??

    Can I use hotspot tethering in iPad mini with wifi??

    You can use an iPhone (if your carrier supports it) as a personal hotspot for your iPad and use the phone's cellular connection to go online with your iPad - your iPad will see the phone as a wifi network.
    If you are asking if you can share an internet connection from a wifi-only iPad then you can't, only cellular models potentially allow you to share its connection with other devices/computers.

  • Do the iPhone 4 give the gps position over personal hotspot to an iPad 2 wifi only?

    Hello
    I want to buy an iPad 2 wifi only.
    I have already an iPhone 4.
    Do the iPhone 4 give the gps position over personal hotspot to an iPad 2 wifi only?
    So I don't need to buy a iPad 2 wifi+3G only for the GPS.
    Thanks.

    I have a WiFi only iPad1. I use a Verizon MIFI 2200 hotspot device that is about the size of a larger, thicker credit card. It easily fits into a shirt pocket. It does not connect to the iPad by any cable whatsoever. It is a free standing device. You can connect up to five devices at a time with the 2200. However, like any cell phone, 3G, wireless connection like this, in some areas the reception/connection is great - in other places - not so much. Sort of the anti - "can you hear me now?"

  • Ipad Mini and Personal Hotspot Missing

    Dear all....
    I know there have been many many discussions re this in the past but I can't seem to find a solution anywhere. I have also spoken to EE (my 4G Carrier) and Apple but with no luck....
    I have recently got a new iPad Mini 64Gb Wireless/Cellular device and no matter what I do I can't get the 'Personal Hotspot' to appear on the main setting menu. I have tried the following:-
    Restored the iPad - about 10 times!
    Spoken to EE - they say it is an Apple issue
    Spoken to Apple - they say it is a Carrier issue
    Cleared all Network settings - again about 15 times
    Messed around with LTE settings.... and most other setting too...
    Had the Carrier delete my account (settings) and reset
    Had the carrier change my tariff and reset my iPad to recieve them
    If this helps I also have no "Network" under "Settings>General" like i use to on my iPad 1
    All I do have is "Settings>Mobile Data" and "Settings>Carrier" but neither have any Personal Hotspot setting below them.....
    Finally I have confirmed with my carrier that my account is enabled for teathering / hotspot use and "it should work"
    PLEASE HELP!!

    Just signed up to a data tariff with T-Mobile, pretty much EE!! Was told that I needed to plug the ipad mini into itunes for it to update carrier settings. So far nothing.
    Grrrr. The option was there eariler today when I had another carrier's SIM in the device.
    WOuld really like to get an answer to this too!!!

  • Sci-15c purchased app survived the upgrade to ios 6.1.2 on ipad3 and iphone 4s, but missing on ipad mini.  App store doesn't show app and it doesn't appear on my purchases.  Whats the point of icloud and the app store?  Help please.

    Why is the excellent hp-15c emulator, sci-15c, which I purchased years ago, missing from my ios upgraded ipad and not shown in my purchased apps nor in the store?
    The app did get properly reatored to my other ipad 2 and 3 and iphone 4s
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions

    Check iTunes on the computer you normally sync with. The app might still be there and you could sync it back onto your iPad mini. Then see if it still works on the most recent iPads.
