Personal Hotspot won't work on MacBook (using iPhone 3GS bluetooth method)

My MacBook says that it is connected to my iPhone on Bluetooth and my iPhone 3GS says that it has one Personal Hotspot connection which was the MacBook but the MacBook has failed to connect to the internet even though my iPhone 3G was on, Cellular Data was on, Bluetooth was on and Personal Hotspot was on,
Please Help me!

Incorrect,
The picture on my screen says otherwise, the Personal Hotspot function on the iPhone 3GS is only either a USB connection or a Bluetooth connection, right now my Personal Hotspot is acting as a wired connection to my computer. iPhone 4 and 4S models can do USB connection, Bluetooth connection and Wi-Fi connection

  • Personal hotspot won't work

    When I try to connect other devices to my iPad though the personal hotspot, it won't connect... It keeps asking for the password, but never connects... I reset my iPad, but it still won't allow others to connect.

    Do you have a personal hotspot account with your cell provider?
    When you activated the personal hotspot in Settings did you set a WiFi password?

    I don't understand how to fix this and I don't seem to understand where the problem is coming from.

    Let's try the simple approach first. Restart your router. Any change?

  • I just installed Lion 3 days ago, now my audio won't work, unless I use headphones, also space bar glitches, and other software issues..MacBook Pro 15 inch, and most everything is messed,,but the audio is killing me.

    I installed Lion a few days ago, ever since then my audio won't work, unless I use my headphones.  Also, the saver screen with password changes frequently, and the space bar works when it wants to.  There are many other issues I am having.  My IPhoto,,does not work properly, pages is not working, I have all versions.  The Office Suite is acting strange, and my email accounts work when they want,,,my IPhone 4 won't sync anymore.  The list is endless...does anyone else have this problem?

    Your wifi problem sounds very much like the problem I had. The wifi would drop out, the icon showed it was still connected. If I turned it off, I couldn't turn it back on. Another user here pointed me to the problem, which was the wifi cable (the flat cable goint from the card to the motherboard). I found it on ebay for $13 and it's been running fine since I replaced it. This is the repair guide for your machine. The part number will be on there if you click the link.

  • Personal Hotspot no longer recognised by Macbook Pro

    I occasionally use Personal Hotspot to keep our Macbook Pro (minimally) up to date while travelling.
    Personal Hotspot was a convenient, easy to use and inexpensve tool. But it no longer works.
    Our service supplier suggested updating the iPhone to IOS 6.0.1 and pairing will work. Did that, no change!
    Since I last used Personal Hotspot the Macbook pro software has been rebuilt following a disk crash (Mac OS X 10.6.8).
    Personal Hotspot is enabled on the Iphone. The iphone is connected by a USB cable. The iphone is not appearing in the list of network services. In the past this was automatic.
    Any suggestions out there?

    Oh dear. No replies seems to imply this is a thing that can't be fixed at all.

    Depending on the country where you live, some features like FaceTime might not be available for your phone.
    Others, like Hotspot, will have to be included into your data plan to be working. Contact your carrier about that.

  • Personal Hotspot doesn't work correctly

    After upgrading my iPhone 4 and iPad 2 (Wi-Fi only) to iOS 5, the Personal Hotspot doesn't work the same way as it was in iOS 4. In iOS 4, I had the Personal Hotspot always turned on on iPhone and whenever I took the iPad and wanted to connect to internet, it connected almost immediately and automaticaly to the iPhone. Now (in iOS 5), I have the personal hotspot turned on again, however, the iPad even doesn't see the iPhone wi-fi. I have to unlock the iPhone, go to the settings (change nothing!) and than the iPad see the wi-fi. It is not automatical. Personal Hotspot was the reason, why I bought only wi-fi iPad and now it doesn't work well. Do you have any idea what to do?
    Thanks

    I have similar but mind bobbling issue. Using iPhone 4s with os5.01. Turned on hotspot, on the cellular data, tried reset network setting to factory default but my hotspot signal is not discoverable by my ipad2, laptop and other wireless devices.
    Went to office, get my friend using iPhone 4 running os4.35 to turn on hotspot. Immediatedly found his hotspot in my ipad2 and the funny thing is that my hotspot signal from 4s suddenly pop up in my ipad2 wifi network, appeared in my laptop and other nokia phone without me touching anything on my 4s. Able to connect and work well. But as soon as I turn off the hotspot, it became not discoverable again when turned on. Tried resetting the network setting but nothing worked.
    The next day, the hotspot signal become discoverable again as soon as my friend turn on his hotspot. It seemed that my hotspot signal need a another hotspot signal to appear. This is ridiculous. If my friend is not around, I will never get my hotspot connected to my iPad2 or make use of this capability.
    Sounds funny but this is true and proven. It has been a week now that I keep repeating the same thing in office. I tried not turning off the hotspot after it is discoverable but it is draining off the battery faster.
    Any tips you can share....

    personal hotspot is not working despite several attempts

    From the iPhone User Manual:
    Personal Hotspot
    You can use Personal Hotspot (iPhone 4 or later) to share an Internet connection with a computer or other device—such as an iPod touch, iPad, or other iPhone—connected to your iPhone via Wi-Fi. You can also use Personal Hotspot to share an Internet connection with a computer connected to iPhone via Bluetooth or USB. Personal Hotspot works only if iPhone is connected to the Internet over the cellular data network.
    Note: This feature may not be available in all areas. Additional fees may apply. Contact your carrier for more information.
    Share an Internet connection: Go to Settings > General > Cellular and tap Set Up Personal Hotspot—if it appears—to set up the service with your carrier.
    After you turn on Personal Hotspot, other devices can connect in the following ways:
    W-Fi: On the device, choose your iPhone from the list of available Wi-Fi networks.
    USB: Connect your iPhone to your computer using the cable that came with it. In your computer’s Network preferences, choose iPhone and configure the network settings.
    Bluetooth: On iPhone, go to Settings > Bluetooth and turn on Bluetooth. To pair and connect iPhone with your device, refer to the documentation that came with your computer.

    Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, the iPhone won't update and is stuck. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.

    Hi, I have iphone 4s and since yesterday my personal hotspot will not work. It's always worked fine in the past and I have a plan with three uk which includes tethering. I've tried everything I can think of including resetting network settings, resetting the phone as a new phone but nothing works. When connected to the pc it shows on the iphone screen '1 connection' but the pc says 'no internet connection' I've spoken to three who say it must be a phone fault. Any help appreciated. :-)

    If you have restored as new that pretty well covers software issues
    Looks like a trip to an Apple Store and a likely Out of Warranty exchange unit  £159 over the counter
    May e consider an upgrade with the money ?
