Personal Hotspot

Hi there... My Macbook Pro can't seem to connect to my iPhone 5's personal hotspot, which I was always able to do. The network settings indicates that the iphone is either unplgged or not responding. What can I do to fix this?

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 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?

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

Issues with Personal Hotspot on iPhone 5

I have an iPhone 5 with the latest iOS update 7.0.4.
When I enable the personal hotspot on the iPhone it does not show up in available connections on my PC.
I have searched around the web and have seen many postings about this issue and have tried many of the suggestions provided by frustrated users and experts. None of these has fixed the issue.
One suggestion:
1. Set Airplane mode off
2. Set WiFi to off
3. Set Bluetooth to off
4. go to Cellular -> Personal hotspot and if it was on turn it off for a few seconds then back on.
5. cycle WiFi on the PC.
This worked one time and only very shortly.
Another suggestion was to change the last character of my personal hotspot password then change it right back.
This also worked only once.
Very frustrating. I need this functionality for work and need some help getting this resolved. Also note I am on a business account.

funnylion,
Let's look further into this! Have you tries troubleshooting the PC in effort to resolve this since the hotspot does work with your Mac? You mentioned you weren't able to connect immediately, does the device eventually connect or not at all? Try resetting network settings here http://vz.to/1eFK7ns and try pressing and holding the sleep/wake button at the top of the phone and the home button at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears. Please test and share. Thank you.

WHEN I USED TO CONNECT INTERNET FROM MY IPHONE 4S PERSONAL HOTSPOT VIA USB, AN ICON IN THE NETWORK PREFERENCE NAMED "IPHONE" GETS OPENED.... BUT NOW THIS IS NOT HAPPENING AND I AM NOT ABLE TO CONNECCT PERSONAL HOTSPOT VIA USB CABLE. PLEASE HELP ME OUT

WHEN I USED TO CONNECT INTERNET FROM MY IPHONE 4S PERSONAL HOTSPOT VIA USB, AN ICON IN THE NETWORK PREFERENCE NAMED "IPHONE" APPEARS.... BUT NOW THIS IS NOT HAPPENING AND I AM NOT ABLE TO CONNECT PERSONAL HOTSPOT VIA USB CABLE. PLEASE HELP ME OUT???

Please don't shout! Using all uppercase means shouting on the internet. If your keyboard is stuck please say so, otherwise people will think you are being obnoxious.
Now the first question is, when you are saying connecting to personal hotspot, have you always been using the iPhone to connect to the internet? Are you someplace where the only place to connect is available via tethering to the iPhone's celluar network? Or do you have other options?

Can't Apple Remote to iTunes when using iPhone as a Personal Hotspot

My AT&T iPhone 4S is set up to be used as Personal Hotspot. So I turn HotSpot on and connect my MacBook Pro to my iPhone's internet just fine.
However, when I open Apple Remote app on the iPhone, it won't connect to iTunes on my MBP.
I have set it up at home where both iPhone and MBP are connected to the wireless connection on the Apple Airport. It worked perfectly in that configuration.
I'm in a band that plays weddings and corporate events. During breaks, I use Apple iTunes to DJ tracks. If I can't use Remote, I'm tethered to the stage constantly. This is a big problem. I need the internet connection to buy songs that are requested that I don't already own. And I need to be able to control iTunes remotely for when I'm in the crowd running microphones from one person to another during speeches and such.
Is there a setting that I'm missing somewhere? Or am I just outta luck for this configuration?
Thx, Patrick

Hi! This will solve the problem. Connect iphone personal hotspot, on macbook turn on - internet connection sharing - create your network - connect iphone to that network, you will have internet connection and mac with iphone will think that you are on wifi network. From that point will everything work - also remote control and remote sync with itunes. Try it!.

Did you talk to your carrier?

HT204023 I was able to activate and use my personal hotspot with my iPad4 yesterday but today it says I have to contact my carrier! I did make the $50 payment today as my data was used up this morning, could that be the issue? How long does it take to w

So yesterday was the first time I used my iPad's personal hotspot, and it was great. Just click on it and typed in the password on my laptop. This morning while working out my iPad's data plan ran out so I paid another $50 and was good to go. However when I tried the personal hotspot, I get a message to contact my carrier. What is up with that?

Contact your carrier and ask them.

my imessage, facetime n personal hotspot is not working in my iphone4 thou my system is updated till ios 7.0.4

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 missing on iphne 4 after upgrading to IOS 5

Since i upgraded my iphone 4 to IOS 5, the personal hotspot disappeared on the settings.
can anybody help me how to fix this.

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.

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 on iPhone 4s not working via USB cable

In the last couple of weeks, I have not been able to use the Personal Hotspot on my iPhone 4s via the USB/sync cable to either of two 2011 Macs, both running the latest version of Lion, with all relevant software updated, including Flashback removal & Java updates. The connection via Bluetooth & wi-fi is unaffected.
Opening the Network System Preference pane, the connection is shown as iPhone USB, but it is not connected, even with all other internet access methods either deactivated or disconnected.
This issue is related to Lion, as the G4 & G5 PPC Macs running 10.5.8 which I either use or administer are not affected by this problem. The iPhone is running on iOS 5.1 and is not jailbroken.
Is it possible that the Flashback/Java issues and Apple's interpretation of their prevention/removal has affected this aspect of internet access via Personal Hotspot?

Hey, where did that "I have this problem too" link come from?
I have this problem too.

If your carrier supports the personal hotspot on the iPad (and some carriers only support it on the iPhone) then it should appear in Settings > General > Cellular Data > Personal Hotspot - if it doesn't appear then contact your carrier in case they don't support it or it might be an extra fee/subscription with them
