Personal Hotspot not working with my MacBook Air

Hi Community
So I have an iPhone 6 and a MacBook Air (Mid2013), who both meet the requirements for the new personal Hotspot in iOS8.
I connected the 2 devices and it worked for some time. I could activate the personal hotspot without even touching the phone. I was very happy, but suddenly it stopped working, although I didn't install a new update on any of the two devices (both are still up to date). At some point, I had to turn the hotspot on manually to get it working, but now, the only way to connect to my hotspot, is to start diagnostics and connect trough that window.
The bluetooth connection works without a problem& my iPhone hotspot works perfectly with my iPad 3.
I tried everything, someone wrote on a website that the iCloud might me the problem, so I disconnected both devices from iCloud and reconnected afterwards. It worked exactly once after that. Then, my MacBook kept saying that the personal hotspot could not be activated (even if I activated the hotspot manually).
Thanks for every kind of help, I'm super frustrated

    BSNL is not a supported carrier. Personal Hotspot requires carrier support and provisioning of the account to enable it. iOS 7.1 disabled the ability to manually configure Personal Hotspot on unsupported carriers.

  • I bought the Keynote app for my MacBook, but when I open the application and try to install it, I get an error message saying that the application will not work with my MacBook. What gives? And, can I please request a refund? ($19.99 = a week's groceries)

    I bought the Keynote app for my MacBook, but when I open the application and try to install it, I get an error message saying that the application will not work with my MacBook. What gives? And, can I please request a refund? ($19.99 = a week's groceries).
    Thank you for your help! - I did try looking for all available specs about Keynote on the Apple iTunes website, and found nothing that could help me. HELP!

    1
    Close all iWork applications
    2
    Uninstall Keynote; this must be done with an application remover tool to delete the installation properly. Appcleaner is known to work correctly for this purpose, it is free and can be downloaded from here: Appcleaner Download
    3
    empty the trash
    4
    shutdown the Mac and restart. After the start up chime, hold down the shift key until the apple logo appears
    let the Mac complete the start up procedure completely, it will take longer than usual as the hard drive is being repaired
    5
    Reinstall Keynote by logging into the Mac App Store using download / install

  • Personal hotspot not working after upgrading to ios7

    Personal hotspot not working after upgrading to ios7

    I was having this problem (iphone 5 wouldn't work as hotspot for my PC laptop) and had tried everything suggested on these message boards, so I finally went to the Apple Genius Bar and they fixed it for me.  Here's what they did:
    1) Turned the Hotspot off on my iphone
    2) Went to the Control Panel on my laptop to "Network and Internet" > "Network and Sharing Center" > "Manage Wireless Networks" (on the left navigation panel) and deleted my iphone from the list of WiFi connections I've attempted.
    3) Flipped the manual WiFi switch on my laptop to Off and then back On again (to reset it)
    4) Turned the Hotspot on my iphone back on
    After that, when I tried to connect, it worked.  Hope this works for someone else.

    As you quote the price in 'Pounds' I'm assuming you are in the UK!
    You might want to consider one of these from Amazon.  I have one on my MBA and it works well.

  • Pictures I take on my iPhone 6 will not sync with my macbook air.

    pictures I take on my iPhone 6 will not sync with my macbook air. They do however sync to the iPad. Everything is turned on for sharing. Pictures sent to me opened in iMessage or email and then I save into the photos app on my iPad do sync with my laptop. It is just  pictures taken with the phone. They only go to iPad and do make it to the laptop. What gives

    All syncing set the same way, iCloud turned on, photo stream turned on on iPhone and iPad and laptop. Photos from phone do sync to iPad, just not the laptop. I have done this for years. Never had a problem until I got the new system update and the new iPhoto app on laptop. I even tried uploading all my photos to,iCloud. Iit was taking so long I gave up nod turned it off. After that I noticed photo stream which was not on my palmtop iPhoto app sudeenly showed up.
    i Am totally confused

  • My iPhone 6 plus will not pair with my macbook air 2014

    My iPhone 6 plus gives a message unsuccessful not supported when I try and pair with my macbook air.
    both are running up to date iOS and OS X.

    An iPhone will not pair via Bluetooth to a computer (Mac or Windows) except for personal hotspot and then only if your cellular plan supports it. https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-7722
    If you are attempting to use Handoff/Continuity, that does involve Bluetooth but the devices are NOT paired; Bluetooth just needs to be on and the devices in range of each other. The following may help with Handoff/Continuity issues: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5458
