"Personal Hotspot" option DISAPPEARED yesterday after upgrading to iOS 8.1.3!

Hello,
yesterday I upgraded my iPad Mini (Retina) to iOS 8.1.3. Everything works pretty fine, but there is no Personal Hotspot in the Settings! I was looking in all sections, but it has simply disappeared.
I really don't know what to do. I've been using my iPad as a hotspot for a year, almost every day. :/
I have reset all web settings and, of course, turned off and on the iPad. Nothing's changed.

" ... other things will show up with that name ..."
Well, the one thing I can think of is that your iPhone will show up with "that name" on iTunes' summary tab when you sync it.  Also, if you receive any warning messages from iTunes on your computer, the messages will have that name.

  • Personal hotspot worked in Dec, after upgrading to  IOS 6.1, it doesn't

    When I was at our cabin in the 'wilds' of MT, I was able to use my iPhone 5 as a personal hotspot to connect my iPad and use it to read mail, news, search the internet,  etc. After upgrading my phone to IOS 6.1, when I go to turn on the personal hotspot, it says I need to turn on both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, or use a USB port. I didn't need to do this before the upgrade, and when I'm in MT, there is no wi-fi. What happened? And, yes, I do have a carrier that supports this, Verizon. I'm on their Share Plan.
    Any fixes/suggestions for this would be greatly appreciated.

    Also, I was able to connect using WLAN, and now I no longer have that option when turning on the Personal hotspot. All that shows up is Wi-fi, bluetooth, or USB. Where did the WLAN go?
    thanks!!! Susan

  • Personal hotspot option disappear iOS 5 fido 6gb data

    Using personal hotspot in iOS 4.3.3 never have problem. But the option disappear today after upgrade to ios 5

    I am using Airtel carrier in India.
    However, 2 months back I had installed Onavo (http://itunes.apple.com/in/app/onavo-data-usage-get-more/id423545287?mt=8) profile on my iPhone and after that it seems that Personal Hotspt got disappear from Settings -> General ->Network menu.
    Now I have un-installed the Onavo profile and I could able to see the Personal Hotspot and activated and connected to internet successfully from my PC. It seems that its bug with Onavo.
    Anyway, I got it fixed now. Thanks for the response.

  • When I access Visual Voicemail, my Personal Hotspot option disappears from settings.

    Why does my Personal Hotspot option disappear when I access Visual Voicemail?  I need to reset network settings to get it back and then Visual Voicemail no longer works.
    Also, does anyone know how I could disable Visual Voicemail and set the phone app's voicemail button to dial 901 instead? (as a workaround)

    The iOS5 upgrade for the iphone allowed network operators to control the availability of the 'personal hotspot' feature. If your operator is one of those who charge extra for tethering (and most do) then by upgrading to ios5 you've facilitated them to remove the option for you.
    Apple bowed to the demands of the opertators on this one.
    I am with Tesco(O2) and as soon as I upgraded to ios5 I lost the 'personal hotspot' option.
    I have the last laugh though; They cant control my Android phone so I put the Tesco mobile sim into that when I want to use tethering.
    Get an Android phone or if you're in the UK use Three mobile who allow tethering.

  • Personal Hotspot option gone altogether after doing a carrier update

    I was using my personal Hotspot for a month or so on IOS 8.1. I enabled it in Cellular data and everything was fine until I did a carrier update a few days ago. After that the personal Hostspot option itself dissapeared, and it went from the cellular data network tab as well. Now the 'cellular data network' tab only shows APN and MMs, not Personal Hotspot. I can't find it anywhere, Help?

    Hey Kazimraza,
    Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, Personal Hotspot is missing from settings. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you isolate or resolve the issue.

  • Non-factory Apps Disappearing Randomly After Upgrade to iOS 5.1

    Hi all, I've had my iPad 2 for about 9 months.  Since upgrading to iOS 5.1, on two separate occasions, I've had all but the factory apps disappear from my iPad.  This happened randomly during the day, not during or immediately following a sync.  My most recent sync for my iPad was on 3/14, 6 days ago.  I had been using my iPad throughout the day, then unlocked it this evening and everything is gone except the factory apps, i.e. FaceTime, Messages, Reminders, etc.  All my media is still there, and all my settings are unchanged (email accounts still working fine, movies still there in the Videos app), but all downloaded apps are gone.  No games, none of my work apps, nothing.  This is the second time this has happened since I upgraded to iOS 5.1 about 2 weeks ago.  First time was the day after.  Last time I did a full wipe and restore, hoping it was a one time glitch.  I've done some searching, and the only other instances of people's apps disappearing that I've been able to find were related to syncing.  I have the latest iTunes, all software is patched and up to date.  I have syncing via WiFi disabled, as well, it only syncs via cable plugged into my home PC.
    Hoping someone else has seen this or has some idea.
    (My battery life is significantly reduced after the iOS upgrade as well, with no changes to settings or new apps.  I get a day or two of light use before I'm down to 10%.  I was at 30% in the morning when I put it in my bag, and it was dead when I took it out later that afternoon.  I used to get a good week between charges.)

    If it's a first gen iPad, which I assume that it is if you've updated to iOS 5.1.1 as other models update to iOS 6+, then it doesn't have a camera on it and therefore doesn't have Camera or FaceTime apps.

  • After upgrading to iOS 8.. Personal Hotspot option is gone is Cellular

  • Personal Hotspot menu disappeared after I updated my iPhone to iOS 4.3.3

    Personal Hotspot menu disappeared after I updated my iPhone to iOS 4.3.3
    My carrier provides tethering service and I used it often so I don't think this is from network problem.
    What I remember is that after I upgrade my iPhone to iOS 4.3.3 I once activated personal hotspot function and it was hanged.
    So I reboot my iPhone and the menu disappeared. Is this another bug that is from iOS 4.3.3??

    What is the exact wording of the error message you received?
    Has your iPhone been jailbroken or modified to work with other
    than the original wireless provider?
    Not wise to post IMEI or ICCID in the clear, FYI. I have asked
    the hosts to edit that info in your post.

  • Personal hotspot option missing!

    Hi,
    I have 2 serious issues with my iPhone 4S now. After updating the os to iOS 6.1.3,
    1. I discovered I can't enable the wifi option.
    2. My personal hotspot option is missing!
    What gives???
    HELP!
    Mervin

    Mervin,
    I searched the forums for this issue, because I had the same problem.  I was a little worried about no longer having access to my hotspot after the upgrade to 6.1.3. Like you, the option for the hotspot was completely missing (not just greyed out) after the update.  I am also using an iPhone 4S.
    The good news is that I found the way to fix it, at least for me.  I hope it works for you.
    Go to Settings > General > Cellular > Personal Hotspot.  Just turn it on.  That should make the "Hotspot" option on the main settings page reappear for you. 
    I hope that helps. 
    Jason

    Verify that your carrier supports Personal Hotspot for your device and that you have Personal Hotspot enabled on your cellular plan:
