Personal hotspot name and not working

I changed the name of my iPhone in settings, General, about, and after that my personal hotspot stopped working. I was able to fix it by changing the password for the hotspot. I changed it to the same password it was already set to. That made it start working. Just wanted to let people know because it might be helpful to others.

We're an Apple family (but maybe not for much longer). Long story cut short ... have three MacBooks and one iMac and two iPhone4s all tethered using Apple USB cables.
All iPhone4s have been working fine with all computers until one iPhone suddenly, and for no apparent reason, would not work with one particular MacBook Pro (15" and Lion pre-installed, iTunes 11.0.1 upgrade) via the USB.
The thing worked on Wi-Fi for a few days after but now the MacBook Pro (15") cannot detect the iPhone's network. It has never worked on Bluetooth.
This phone still works with the other MacBook Pro (13" and Mountain Lion pre-installed, iTunes 11.0.1 pre-installed) and the iMac (21" and Lion upgrade, iTunes 11.0 upgrade). It also works fine with the white MacBook (13') we have from way back in 2010 (running Leopard).
Both iPhone4s run on OSX6.1 (10B144)
Funny thing also, the OTHER IPhone 4 works fine with this MacBook Pro (15") which leads me to suspect that it is the configuration of this particular iPhone4 and this particular MacBook Pro (15") that has somehow gone awry - they have become incompatable for some inexplicable (to me) reason.
Also, it's not the USB cable that's at fault - the MacBook Pro (15") still recognises this iPhone for ITunes synch.
Knowing now that this problem was becoming widespread, we enquired at the Appe store but their only recommendation was for us to buy new equipment. Given the MacBook Pro in question is only six months old, my response was to ask them to investigate and fix it under warranty. The staff just shrugged their shoulders and turned away to sell more new Apple gear to other customers.
Luckily, we are able to shuffle iPhones and computers around waiting for Apple to take responsibility in recognising the problem and then to issue a fix.
Oh hum ... now where's that number for Samsung on-line sales?

Itunes can't connect to internet, istore, track names and not working properly

Help please I have spent hours trying to sort out what ever is wrong with my itunes.
I can't connect to store when trying to take digital copies of dvd, I can't get track names, When I connect ipad and iphone it doesn't go past backing up.
I have been in communication with Norton and they have tried loads of things. I have now uninstalled it until I get to the route of this problem.
Please help me!!

OK many are not aware of this, but Windows XP with SP2 comes with windows firewall automaticcly on. so first check to make sure you have windows firewall off. goto the control panel, select "Security centre" and make sure it is tuned off. If the security center says "On" and is lited up green, you have some firewall on.
You may want to check with your ISP and make sure there not blocking you from the music store too thru there own firewall or other means

When I use Iphone 4 personal hotspot on USB, it works for a short time and then times out.

When I use Iphone 4 personal hotspot on USB, it works for a short time and then times out.
When pinging my iphone directly at 172.20.10.1, while I'm surfing and it times out, the ping shows nothing but "request timed out" .. Sometimes it "comes back" and sometimes I have to reboot my phone or disconnect the USB.. It's always done this and only on USB, it's very frustrating.
I have packet sniffed also, using Wireshark. When the "timeouts" happen, there's no more data coming from the Iphone. My PC continually sends ARP requests as well and don't get responses.
Have searched google endlessly and have gotten no where. This has been going on for several months and I'm just getting a bit fed up now.

In 5s, personal hot spot does not work from time to time. Not detected

In 5s, personal hot spot does not work from time to time. Iphone does not get detected on Wi-fi or bluetooth. Restarting or rebooting does not help.

Settings, general, reset and reset network settings. Clear out your network settings and set personal hotspot again.
also avoid special characters making a password. hashtags or open brackets for example doesn't work too good.

Flashing light in Wrotham supply. And not working wi-fi..

Hello.
Flashing light in Wrotham supply.
And not working wi-fi, or rather does not recognize the access point.
They are not on the list .
But the access point is at hand.
Please send me the answer to email (Personal information removed by Moderator)

Hi @Game_Developer
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand that you are having trouble with wifi connectivity. What light is flashing on that supply? I assume it is the power supply.
Have you tried your notebook with a different wireless network?
Do other devices connect to your router without any trouble?
I would start with this to make sure the wireless is working properly on the notebook, or appears correctly in device manager.
Resolving Universal WLAN, Wireless, and Wi-Fi Errors
And only after verfying that all is good, would you want to look at the following steps, if you are still having troubles.
Troubleshooting wireless network and Internet (Windows 8)
Also, you can look at the power management for your wireless adapter:
Disable the Power Off option for the adapter:
1. Open Device Manager. (Win Key+R > type devmgmt.msc > OK)
2. Expand the Network adapters.
3. Right click on the Ethernet/Wireless Adapter and click Properties.
4. Click the Power Management tab.
5. Remove the check mark beside Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power.
6. Click OK.
7. Test.
Forget the network: (Windows 8)
1. Press Windows Key + C
2. Click Settings.
3. Click Change PC settings.
4. Click Network on the left.
5. Click Manage known networks.
6. Click the network name.
7. Click Forget.
Reset the TCP/IP settings on your PC:
1. Go to your start screen/menu and type CMD.
2. Right click on the command prompt icon and chose Run as administrator.
3. In the window that opens type "netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt" without quotes, and press enter.
4. Restart your PC and test.
It may also help to reset the winsock catalogue:
1. Go to your start screen/menu and type CMD.
2. Right click on the command prompt icon and chose Run as administrator.
3. In the window that opens type "netsh winsock reset" without quotes, and press enter.
4. Restart your PC and test.
Reinstall the network adapter drivers:
1. Download the drivers from here but do not run them yet.
2. Go to your start screen/menu and type Device Manager.
3. Expand Network adapters.
4. Right click on the wireless adapter and choose Uninstall.
5. Run the downloaded drivers from step 1.
6. Restart your PC and test.
Test an ethernet connection:
Self explanatory. Test if the issue persists on a wired connection to rule out the wireless adapter hardware so troubleshooting can be directed towards the right areas.
Test another connection:
Many people rule out their home network as an issue if another device is working on the same network. Networking is not that simple. Each device interacts differently with your router or modem and it is impossible to rule out settings in that device until the notebook has been tested on another network.

In Flex application functionality is working sometimes and not working sometimes..

Hi,
Please help me on this..
In my flex application some functionality is working some times and not working sometimes..
In my project i have 5 sections with 5 separate screens..Each screen is of one diffeent module.
After logining into the application:
I will go to one screen..First time every functionality is working in that screen..
Ex:: I have a screen with datagrid.From that user will select one job name from datagrid click on next button..
Based the job name the user selected i have to display some information in next screen and customer names.customer names is a combo box..
below is the code:::
               public function populateAllOEMCustomers(event:ResultEvent):void
        1)     var object_CustomerList:CustomerList = event.result as CustomerList; //Assigining result object values to Object reference variable.
          2)    var allOEMCustomersCollection:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection(); //Declaration ArrayColliction referance variable.
         3)       var i:int=0;
         4)      var customerComboLabel:Label = new Label();
          5)      for (i = 0;i < object_CustomerList.arryCollCustName.length; i++)
                    var strCustName:String = object_CustomerList.arryCollCustName.getItemAt(i).toString();
                    var strCustId:String = object_CustomerList.arryCollCustId.getItemAt(i).toString();
                    customerComboLabel = new Label(); //Dynamic declaration of label.
                    customerComboLabel.name = strCustName; //Assinging the customer name to the Label name field.
                    customerComboLabel.text = strCustId; //Assingning the customer id to the Label text field.
                    allOEMCustomersCollection.addItem(customerComboLabel); //Adding Lable into the ArrayCollection referace variable.
                //customerComboID.selectedItem = "--";
                OEMCustomersComboID.dataProvider = allOEMCustomersCollection;
                OEMCustomersComboID.selectedItem = -1;
This functionality is working fine when i visit to this screen first time..If you go back to another screen and come back to this same screen and click on next button this time customer names combo box has no customer details..I am getting Nullpointer Exception and it is showing the line number 5( i have given the number for code given above..)
If i change the first line of the code to below code:: every time the above functionality is working fine.Not getting any error msg..
var object_CustomerList:Object= event.result ;
If i type cast it to specific class(CustomerList) ,functionality is not working ..getting null pointer exception..If i type cast it to Object everything is working fine..In my code wherever i have typecasted it to specific class functionality is not working(gettingNullpointerExcepion).
Please help me on this..I am not getting what could be the reason..
I am using::Flex 3,Flash player 10.1
Thanks in advance..

Satya

Hi Satya,
This sometimes as in your case might not work as the way you have specified the RemoteClass attribute in your AS class. As somtimes there may be a case as before it is mapped to a server side you are returned the data and so that you may not get the data as your Custom class but as normal Object type.
So in order to avoid this you can map the server side class to AS classes in the PreInitialize handler itself as shown below:
Specify the preinitializeHandler in your main application and write the below function.This way also you can map AS classes with the server side. So that you will not have any problem referring your application as AS class types.
You can use the same line for registering all the classes. By using this you can remove all the [RemoteClass] attributes on all AS classes and include it at single place.
preinitialize="onPreinitialize()"
private function onPreinitialize():void
registerClassAlias("com.expeditor.ScriptAdmin.Objects.CustomerList", CustomerList);
Here in the above line of code the string in quotes refer to the namespace of the Server side class and the latter is your AS class. Also dont forget to import the namespace of the corresponding AS class in the file.
Try this and let me know..
Thanks,
Bhasker

Hotspot Click is not working !!

Hi,
I have sucessfully implemented hotspot click using OOALV.
I still have an issue in one of the hotspot click feature.
I have a OOALV report where i have implemented hotspot click for Contract # as
when 'KONNR'.
        if w_listdata-konnr <> ''.
          lv_konn = w_listdata-konnr.
          set parameter id 'VRT' field lv_konn.
          CALL TRANSACTION 'ME33K' and skip first screen.
        endif.
since ME33K transaction takes input of type 'EVRTN' ,i have taken a
temporary parameter called lv_konn declared it as type EVRTN.
But still the hotspot click is not working.
Can anyone suggest me how to reslove this issue.
Appreciate all the help.

How do remap drive names and not lose project clip links to Event names...?

how do remap drive names and not lose project clip links to Event names...?

You will need an extra external drive. All moves must be done within iMovie to preserve your links to the projects.
First Move (command-drag) the event to the extra drive. Make sure the project still works.
Then rename, reformat, or repartition your drive as needed. Then, if you want, move the Event back to the newly named drive, again via Command-Drag within iMovie.

I just upgraded to a new MacBook and my wife is inheriting my old MacBook Air. How can I change the her MacBook Air to now be fundamentally hers? That is, so the House Icon under Users folder is her name and not mine? Also the default AppleID for purchase stubbernly remains my own.

You do not mention it, but I will assume you are running OS 10.9.1.
Go to: Apple menu / System Preferences / Users & Groups. Click the padlock and enter your password.
Click the + (plus sign) and set up a new account for your wife. You have to enter a bunch of info. And then create the correct Login Options. Automatic login does not require a password from the selected user.
When that is done, verify the account works by restarting the computer and login as your wife.
Make sure that any applications in your own Users folder that will be needed are moved to the Applications folder in your wife's Users folder.
Now go back to Users and Groups, click the padlock and authenticate, select your own account, and hit the - (minus sign). This step cannot be reversed, so you might want to wait a few days before doing it.
When your wife is logged in, the App Store will know.

Installing microsoft office for mac and getting prompt for installer password. i have put in apple id password and admin password and not working, i have also reset my admin password 3 times and it is still not working? how do i get past this?

installing microsoft office for mac and getting prompt for installer password. i have put in apple id password and admin password and not working, i have also reset my admin password 3 times and it is still not working? how do i get past this?

You don't use your Apple ID or its password to install anything on your Mac. You use the admin account's name and password.
Use the name and password you last entered when resetting them. The "name" you use is not the short name of the admin account folder.
For example. If you create an admin account of John Smith, the short name given to that account's folder will be johnsmith. So when an app requests an admin name and password to install something, the admin name you enter is John Smith, not johnsmith.
