Personal Hotspot Privacy (or How Does One Really Turn This Off?)

Hi:
On my iPhone 6, under Settings>Personal Hotspot, this option is turned “Off”
Yet on my iPad, under Settings>Wi-Fi, under the “Personal Hotspots” category, I see my iPhone 6 listed as an option.
What gives? Even if no one else can connect to this hotspot since a password is required, it bothers me that this information is being broadcast for others to see. Is there any way I can truly turn this hotspot off so that my name is not broadcast to anyone near?
Thank you!

Hi CharPatton,
If you are seeing this on two iOS devices that are both running iOS 8 and are both set up using your Apple ID, the information in question is most likely not being broadcast over the air from your iPhone (unless you are also seeing it on unrelated devices). Rather, this is most likely a function of the Instant Hotspot feature of Continuity under iOS 8, which allows for easy cellular data connection sharing to devices on the same account:

  • Itunes 11.1.5 will not sync new apps with iPhone 5 iOS 7.0.6 and gives grayed out "install" no message?  How does one work around this?

    Itunes 11.1.5 (MacBook Pro,OS 10.6.8) will not sync new apps with iPhone 5 iOS 7.0.6 and gives grayed out "install" no message?  How does one work around this?

    Just reboot your laptop... While its rebooting try to reboot your phone also by holding the home and power buttonn for 10-15 seconds...When your phone is turned off try to connect it to iTunes and it will recognize your phone in recovery mode.
    If you have the .ipsw file for iOS 7.0.6 saved in your desktop then in itunes press shift and click on Restore.
    Select the ipsw file and let it restore.
    If you dont have it downloaded then simply click on restore.
    I hope it works

  • Latest version of Lightroom will not download RAW files from my D750. How does one get around this? Bought Lightroom for it's ability to manage RAW files and now very disappointed.

    Latest version of Lightroom will not download RAW files from my D750. How does one get around this? Bought Lightroom for it's ability to manage RAW files and now very disappointed.

    Here is the contents of a batch file which will convert whatever raws you drop on it:
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe DNG Converter" -cr7.1 -dng1.4 -p0 %*
    Once you download the latest converter (release candidate from adobe labs, if necessary), and save the appropriate contents of the batch file (change path to match your system, and parameters to match your druthers, if applicable), the procedure is:
    1. Drop raw files on bat file.
    2. Import as usual (the DNGs).
    Not too bad once you're set up (if DNG converter supports your raws).
    Documentation:
    http://wwwimages.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/products/photoshop/pdfs/dng_commandline.pd f
    Note: on Mac, you may need to use "$@" (with the double-quotes) instead of %* (which is dos batch syntax), and you will need to use the full path to the converter executable file, e.g.
    “/Applications/Adobe DNG Converter.app/Contents/MacOS/Adobe DNG Converter”
    If too much, just use the GUI instead of the bat file.

  • HT1766 When I turn on my iPad am confronted with the message "iPad Not Backed Up.  This iPad hasn't beern backed up.  Backups happen when this iPad is plugged in, locked and connected to Wi-Fi."  How does one proceed from this message?

    How do I overcome this impasse?

    Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • How does one UNMOUNT Lion??

    Long story, I upgraded to Lion, so I could upgrade to the latest imovie.
    BUT, unknown to me, I can now no longer use Eudora, my mail program for a dozen years. I can't access a dozen email address, nor access any of my archived messages going back 10+ years. Nor use any of the dozen discussion/announcelists I've set up for my businesses.
    How does one UN mount this crap??

    OK, I got it. Look at the "More Like This"
    Don't bother to weigh in.

  • How does one add a personal recorded M4R file to the ring tones in the UK system for iPhone 3GS

    How does one add a personal recorded M4R file to the ring tones in the UK system for iPhone 3GS.
    I have tried all sorts of ways of adding my personal M4R file but can't find the place (within the UK versions of iTunes} to transfer this file so that I can select it as a ring tone.
    I've tried also changing to the US version of iTunes and still can't find a way of doing it, although I have heard that it can be done.

    You should be able to just drop it into the library within iTunes.

  • HT1918 How does one organise the apple ID so that one uses the same email address to have an account on both the UL and Belgian itunes stores?

    I have in the past created an Apple ID for use with the UK itunes store, because I want to read in English.  If I sign in it seems that this ID will only allow me to purchase from the UK store.  But I live in Belgium, so I can't download from the UK store.  So I tried to create an apple ID for the Belgian itunes store.  But I want to use the same email address as I used for the first apple ID I made (because I'm fed up of having to remember which email address I used for which account).  When I tried this, I just get a message saying that the email address is already in use for another account (which I know, because it's me who made that account).  Does anyone have a workaround for this?
    cheers
    Andrew

    I have tried again using the same password. and it still doesn't work.
    I'm presuming you went ahead and set up a new Apple ID, yes? Using the same password in more than one Apple ID has worked for me in the past, but I haven't tried it in a while so the tightened security may have changed that. You could use the same password but add "-UK" and "-BE", or something like that, to make it easier to remember.
    I understand what you mean about losing the ability to deal with UK purchased stuff, but this is becoming so inconvenient that I do want to delete that UK apple ID account.  I have looked everywhere I can think of on the apple website (apple id, itunes, support etc) and I can't find a link/eplanation/contact point that deals with deleting apple ID and itune store accounts.  Surely this must be possible?
    It's possible, but Apple is very reluctant to do it, and it's not something a user can do on their own. It would be better to just stop using the UK account rather than trying to get it deleted. Just remove your payment information and there should be little reason to have the account deleted. If you really want to try, though, you'll need to send a message to iTunes support specifying that you want the account cancelled.
    On a completely different matter, I have bought my son an ipod touch.  But since he is younger than 13 years old, how does one go about using the itunes store to get music onto his ipod touch?
    You would need to buy tracks for him; he's too young to have his own iTunes Store account. To control what gets synched to his iPod, this should help:

  • How Does One Modify Photoshop Templates in Dreamweaver

    I posted this over on the Photoshop forum, but no one has
    replied. It is a hybrid sort of question.
    I've been trying to modify the Horizontal Neutral template of
    the Web Photo Gallery in Photoshop CS using Dreamweaver MX (v.6.1)
    on my G5 running Tiger and am almost there. Aside from the overall
    design (fonts and colors) I really like the interface of this
    particular gallery with a horizontal slider to quickly scroll
    through images, that when selected, appear in large form in the
    center of the page. But I need to customize it to get it to match
    the feel of my site.
    My problem: I'm trying to point to a gif file that is part of
    my website image library as my background. I want the Horizontal
    Neutral Gallery to float in that image background. But, I can't
    seem to get the background image to appear where it is supposed to.
    I've gone into the various components of the template
    (FrameSet, SubPage, etc.) and by duplicating the files and
    modifying the code, I am able to get the background image to appear
    within the tables that make up the navigation and image gallery
    components. But, I've not been able to get the image to appear as
    the background itself.
    I'd even be happy to simply have the entire Horizontal
    Neutral Gallery float in the middle of one of my own pages with the
    image file as a background if it is possible, but can't seem to
    even get it to do that. How does one access the code that controls
    the background image in this template or the script that generates
    these galleries?
    Thanks in advance!

    The reason the that the edit button ( - ) top righthand corner had 'disappeared', was that iCloud was enabled but that the Addressbook subsetting under iCloud was set to off in the phone settings.
    Changing it to 'on' made the edit button reappear.
    Thanks to the guys in Cambridge Apple Store!!

  • In Photo 1.0, how does one access the map showing where all photos were taken, as could be done previously in iPhoto?

    In Photo 1.0, how does one access the map showing where all photos were taken, as could be done previously in iPhoto?

    Hi JohnDory,
    The information side-bar from iPhoto has been removed in Photos App, and so it's been converted into a pop-up window showing both the exposure, aperture and so technical photo parameters, as well as the comments, faces and LOCATION for that photo.
    This small floating window is shown whenever you click the button in the app title bar, right clicking a specific photo or pressing ⌘i
    If you open the albums view (clicking in the name of the album list, NOT an album name, you can see in your left sidebar - which can be shown or hidden) and press ⌘i without selecting a specific photo the Info pop-up will show the map for your whole library (as well as the total amount of photos, videos, GB used, etc)
    So, I'm afraid the "Locations" view (which I really loved) from iPhoto has been ripped off... and we can only get "some sort of locations view" by this method.
    As for locations... there is no option for manual geotagging (so, setting location to a specific photography which doesn't have it yet)... that really ****** me off 
    Regards,

  • How does one deal with transparency in a placed file in InDesign?

    I suppose this may seem elementary, but I'm relatively new to it so here goes:
    First off, my print shop says that placed images should be in EPS format. I'm creating my files in Illustrator and some of them use a gradient mask to fade an object away. When saved as an EPS, the gradient mask shows as a white box instead of fading into the background. When I copy/paste my Illustrator image into a new Photoshop file, save it as a PSD, bring that PSD into Illustrator and save it as an EPS, the whole file is in a white box.
    Example. I want those aisle markers to not be in white boxes.

    How does one deal with transparency in a placed image in InDesign?
    Thanks.

    If possible, one finds a new printer who can handle your files properly and doesn't insist on .eps.
    What format are you delivering to the Printer? If it's anything other than PDF (and that's at their request) all the more reason to reread the first sentence. Why on earth are you moving things from Illustrator to Photoshop and back to Illustrator? Either one of those will save as .eps (ugh), though you need to use a clipping path for transparent areas coming out of photoshop (don't really know how Illy handles it when you say to save .eps with transparent background), but you are FAR better off with either native .AI or .PSD, both of which support transparencey, unlike .eps.If yo are delivering PDF, as you should be, it makes no difference to the printer what format the placed content uses (and it shouldn't matter to him even with native files unless he's hopelessly stuck in the 90s).
    In any event, when importing from Illustrator, make sure to show the import options and check the transparent background box.

  • How does one increase the y-axis (amplitude) of the audio tracks?

    How does one increase the y-axis (amplitude) of the audio tracks? My patient appears to have flatlined. I don't want to increase the gain, just the way the waveform looks on my monitor.

    The "Expert view" is a part of the new interface of Premiere Elements 11. In your version 10, you have the Timeline and the Sceneline view choices.
    For now, I will assume that you are in the Timeline view where you utilize video and audio tracks and not a Filmstrip with scene slots.
    I suspect that you may be after the following. Let us see.
    To the right of where it shows the name "Audio 1" is a microphone icon. That represents the "Audio Display Style". There are two Audio Display Styles and you can select one or the other by toggling that microphone icon.
    a. In one instance, you will see the wave form plus a horizontal orange line which is typically the Volume Rubberband for Volume adjust. This Display Style has a light green background.
    and
    b. In the other case, you will see a dark horizontal line, no wave form. That dark line is on a light green background.
    I suspect you are at "b". Are you aware that "a" exists.
    If you want a really blown up version of "a" to look at, you could separate the audio from the video, double click the audio to open the Preview Windows, and then scale up the Preview Window.
    We will be watching for your follow up to see if we are getting in sync.
    Thanks.
