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?

  • 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

    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.

    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?

  • 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....

    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 ?

  • Personal hotspot is not working despite several attempts

    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.

  • Hotspot won't work until reboot

    I have an LG G2 on android 4.4.2.... and my hotspot won't work until I reboot the phone.  This is extremely annoying, as the only time I need the hotspot, I need it NOW, not in a few minutes.   How to fix this?

        Snn5,
    Gotcha! Having a software update failure is definitely not normal. We need to get that software installed, and we need it to go smoothly for you. This may require a Factory Reset. Please back up your phone's information first as a factory reset will erase the entire phone and then follow these steps -> http://vz.to/1lGsddB  Let us know if the hotspot is still misbehaving after the reset is done.

  • Personal Hotspot does not work after update to 10.10.2

    Good morning!
    After my update to 10.10.2 on my MBP (15" mid 2010) my connection to the internet via personal hotspot (iPhone 5s, iOS 8.1.3) does not work.
    The MBP connect to the hotspot, but there is no connection to the internet. My iPad (Retina, iOS 8.1.3) works fine simultaniously with good bandwidth.
    Rebooting Mac, rebooting iPhone etc does not work.
    Anyone else has this problem?
    Any suggestions?

    Just saw same problem with a client's computer.
    MacBook Pro
    WAS 10.5.1.
    Installed 10.5.2, booted up. Fire up ichat, get your buddy list. Double click a name, says "Cannot Chat" in bold then says "Add at least one person to this chat before sending the first messsage." with an OK button.

  • I can no longer connect to the internet on my laptop using my personal hotspot. Stopped working all of a sudden. Any tips as to why?

    I used to always use my personal hotspot and connect to the internet on my laptop. Then one day it stopped working. I updated my phone so my hotspot password changed, so I changed that in the properties. It now says it's connected to my iPhone and there's internet access, but when I try to do anything it says not connected.

    It shows a connection. When using wifi n USB. I don't know how to connect using Bluetooth seeing what it says to do is totally different from my computer.
    I do have a connection but I can only connect to some sites, I tried YouTube n nfl.com n they both worked but google, hotmail n Facebook said couldn't connect.
    I tried using safari on my computer n like explorer I could only connect to a few different websites.

  • I get the message "an error occurred while loading your favorite themes" and my persona rotator won't work. Please help?

    I usually use the Persona Rotator using My Favorites as its themes to rotate. Lastely my rotater has not been working. I click on Tools, then Personas, then My Favorites and am asked to sign in to use my favorites with the Rotator. I follow all these steps and all seems to go fine, except my Persona Rotator does not rotate. Again I click on Tools, Personas, My Favorites and there is a message saying "an error occurred while loading your favorite themes" and therefore won't work. I don't know what the problem is or even exactly when it started, but it doesn't work and I'm most disappointed. Please fix or help me to fix it so I can enjoy my rotating themes again.

    In order to switch to another persona that you had previously installed, do the following:
    #Go to ''Tools'' and click ''Add-ons'' (or click the Firefox button at the top left and click ''Add-ons'').
    #Switch to the ''Appearance'' tab. You should find your previously used personas in the list.
    #Find the one you want to use and click the ''Enable'' button.
    To uninstall the other ones you can click the ''Remove'' button on them and they'll be uninstalled instantly.
