Personal hotspot stopped working on iphone 6, ios 8

My personal hotspot on AT&T shows up and shows it turns on, but it's not really there. It was working and then stopped for no reason. All the buttons look ok, but there's no hotspot now.

Try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose any data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches.
If still no luck, check if there are any carrier updates:
iOS: Updating your carrier settings
If this does not help, resetting the network settings in Settings/General/Reset would be the next step.

Iphone 4 personal Hotspot not working after update to IOS 7.1 India BSNL cellular

Iphone 4 personal Hotspot not working after update to IOS 7.1 India BSNL cellular

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.

Personal Hotspot stops working periodically

I am using the 3rd Generation Verizon iPad and my area has LTE coverage.
Status Indicators
4 Bars of Verizon LTE Coverage
1 Connection to iPad for Personal Hotspot
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Turn on Personal Hotspot
2. Use a MacBook Pro (or WiFi enabled device) to make a connection
3. Stream netflix, play games or surf the web. After a period of time, the laptop will stop working.
4. Verify iPad cellular connectivity and attempt to browse web using MobileSafari (this always works). It is important to note that all Internet apps on the iPad have connectivity to the Internet (Netflix, Hulu, Games, Mail, Safari, iTunes, etc)
5. Go back to laptop and attempt to load a page, it will time out. The laptop shows that I have a valid IP but unable to connect.
6. Clear cookies, history and cache and attempt #5. This will also fail to load
7. Turn off Personal Hotspot
8. Turn off Cellular Data and wait 15 seconds then turn back on.
9. Turn Personal Hotspot on and attempt #5. This will work sometimes, if it doesn't work then goto 10
10. Turn on airplane mode and attempt step 5 after turning Personal Hotspot on. This will work sometimes, if it doesn't then go to step 11.
11. Reboot iPad
12. Attempt Step 5 after turning Personal Hotspot on. This will work.
I've also tried rebooting the laptop and shutting Airport off then back on. Both methods have the same result. I connected my iPod Touch to the iPad Personal Hotspot and I can't connect with the iPod Touch either (until I perform steps 7 to 12 above).
Anyway I can troubleshoot this issue?

do you also have a Verizon iPad? Are you on LTE?
I upgraded to iOS 6.0 to see if the issue resolved and it didn't.
using tether.com works with no issue so it's only MHS with the issue

App Store stopped working on Iphone 5 Ios 8

App store on my wife's Iphone 5 running Ios 8 stopped working initially to update two Apps (Line & Facebook Messenger). Troubleshooting so far:
- Hard reset.
- Logged out of App store, Hard reset, logged back in.
- Deleted Messenger, logged out of App store, Hard reset, logged back in. Now can't install Messenger at all!
- Tried with WiFi only.
- Tried with Cell only
- Tried hooked up to computer/Itunes
Really frustrating! When works the way it's supposed to I'll think about using Apple's spelling. For now it's Iphone, not iPhone.

I am having the same problem. My iPhone is 1 week old, and as of last night, 10/11/12, my app store would not function corretly. I can open the app store but the following tabs do not work: Featured, charts, and search. By "do not work" I mean that the gray spinning wheel will go for a while and then stop as if it is finished loading but the screed will still be blank aside from the top and bottom banners of the app. The Genius and Updates tab work fine. This is very annoying and nothing I have done so far has fixed it. I have restarted the app, restarted my phone, "hard" restarted my phone, and reset my network settings. I have also tried accessing the app store on wifi and 3g/4g and neither work. Everything has been done except a factory reset of my phone but I am avoiding that for now. I have seen MANY others in the forums with this concern so is there anyone that has successfully solved this problem?
Help would be much appreciated.

Does anyone have personal hotspot working w/ iPhone 5, iOS 6.0.2, & T-Mobile (USA)?

I currently can't get my personal hotspot feature working on my iPhone 5 with T-Mobile USA. I'm trying to figure out where my issue lies, whether it's bad hardware, a bug in iOS, or an issue with my T-Mobile account. I have the latest iOS update (6.0.2).
It doesn't work no matter how I try to connect to it (wi-fi, bluetooth, USB).
When I try via wi-fi, the wireless icon in the top right (in Mac OS X) does its little connecting animation, and then shows an exclamation point "!".
When I try via Bluetooth, the Bluetooth PAN status in Network settings reads "Not Connected", even though I have it paired.
When I try via USB, the iPhone USB status in Network settings reads "Not Connected", even though I have my iPhone plugged into my MacBook Pro.
And yes, I have the hotspot option on my wireless plan with T-Mobile.

I can happily say that whatever the issue was, the iOS 6.1 update has fixed it. So it must have been an iOS issue.

Personal Hotspot not working between iPad Mini and iPhone 6 Plus

The personal hotspot function between my iPad Mini and iPhone 5C worked perfectly.
I am now using an iPhone 6 Plus with the same iPad Mini and cannot establish a connection at all.
Bluetooth and Wifi are enabled on both devices and the iPad says it has found my phone, displays the signal strength, 4G, battery remaining and 2 linked circles.
When I choose that hotspot it tries to connect then just keeps saying "Remote Hotspot Failure. Unable to start Personal Hotspot. Stuart's iPhone 6Plus"
Please help!
Stuart

Are both compatible devices / carriers?

Using the personal hotspot feature on the iPhone 5, I am able to connect to the internet. We also use Juniper NCP client to access our system remote. A VPN connection is created, but I am unable to access servers on our network. This works on iPhone 4.

Using the personal hotspot feature on the iPhone 5, I am able to connect to the internet. We also use Juniper NCP client to access our local system from a remote location. A VPN connection is created, but I am unable to access servers in our network. This same functionality works using my colleagues iPhone 4.
Both phones are running iOS 6.1.3. I tried to reset network settings, but still unable to ping servers in our network. This is a feature that our sales team relies heavily on when out of the office. Hoping someone has some suggestions on what is different between the 2 phones.

Hi,
Generally, this issue should be related with something called split tunneling, since you’re using a F5 vpn client, you need to look for something related to split tunneling in the F5 VPN client's documentations.
Here is an example, share it with you as a reference.

Why has Siri stopped working on iPhone 4 after upgrading to IOS 5?

Why has Siri stopped working on iPhone 4 after upgrading to IOS 5? I've tried the disable and reboot but continue to get the network error.

Apple has not been forthcoming on the explanation. My Siri worked on my iphone4 (not 4s) immediately after upgrading to IOS5, but I take it they have redirected the servers that used to support Siri to only work with Iphone4s.
It is one thing for apple to only bundle the improved Siri with IPhone 4S, or for them to remove Siri from the Ap store.
But it is another thing all together for apple to purchase a company, and then cease the service that many of us paid for.
Attempts to contact apple at apple store and via email have been unhelpful.

Personal hotspot not working in windows after hiberation

At times after I recover my PC from hiberation, personal hotspot for my PC to surf web thru my iphone will no longer function. But charging and sync with iTunes will still be functioning. The only way to get personal hotspot to work again is to reboot my PC. This is really frustrating as Windows takes a long time to reboot.
Thus, may I know what is or are the service(s) required by the personal hotspot to work? I can simply restart the service instead of rebooting windows instead.
Thanks,
Boon Hong.

same case for my iphone 4 GSM (Hong Kong), my personal hotspot works at ios 7.0.4 but fails at 7.1 as APN cannot be set as described above. Hope Apple Support can help. My Carrier is PCCW-HKT (Hong Kong), which is not a registered carrier

Wifi iPad 3 charger stopped working after updating to iOS 6, help!

Wifi iPad 3 charger stopped working after updating to iOS 6. The little iPhone charger charges it very very slowly, but the charger gets really hot after a while. I restored it and everything works but the charger. It's only a few months old, should I try a new iPad wall charger block?

Hi,
I did this after reading the forums and it made no difference. it has actually charged from 14% to 67% but thats taken over 12 hours.
Will monitor it and if no joy will go to a apple store
Thanks

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.
