Tethering on my iPhone 5 iOS 6.0.1 seems impossible ???

Hi all, I taken delivery 10 days ago of my iPhone 5 got the updated software iOS 6.0.1 and on the Three One Plan "unlimited data plan"
I have bee using iPhones for over 2 years so I'm no novice ! However I am very dissapointed at this moment in time with my new iPhone 5 as I am experiencing tethering issues.
My iPhone is setup correctly for tethering via the personal hotspot BUT my Laptop, Tablet or Xbox cannot see the iPhone network ? On two occasions my Laptop picked the iPhone broadcast but no matter what i do now my Laptop or any other devices cannot find my iPhone network.
This is very frustrating any help or has anyone else experienced this problem ? would be appreciated. Thanks

I have the same problem...my macbook pro won't see my iphone as an option to connect to. I've found that if I go to settings, then personal hotspot on my iphone 5 and leave it with this screen open, then go to my computer's available connections and keep opening/closing the available connections screen, the iphone will usually come up as an available connection within about 10 seconds. If I don't open my iphone's personal hotspot screen, then it will usually not come up as an available connection on my computer.

HT4623 I am trying to update my iphone to iOS 7 and it seems to be stuck on the rescuse email. I type in an email and hit next and nothing happens... I try to exit out and it only gives me an option for an emergency call.. I've been stuck for 25 min now

How do I get past the Rescuse email screen? I've been on it over 25 minutes now and it won't let me go forward

Ja... auf alle mögliche Art und Weise... auch mit Hilfe vom Telefon-Support...
Am Ende hat jetzt doch nur geholfen, dass mir meine Kollegin ihr MacBook geliehen hat - darauf konnte ich mein iPhone wiederherstellen - das seltsame ist nur .- ich hab dann auch gleich mein iPad auf iOS 7 akutalisiert (wo ich den Hilfsrechner schonmal da hab *ggg*) - hab's aber erst mit meinem Windows Vista probiert - DA hat es einwandfrei funktioniert... vielleicht war das Update für's iPad (immerhin knapp 20 MB weniger) grad noch klein genug für meine alte, lahme Windows-Gurke? Oder das MacBook nebendran hat es eingeschüchtert?
Keine Ahnung! Werde mir demnächst ein Apple-PC kaufen - das war eh geplant...
Trotzdem Danke an alle, die mir helfen wollten!

The personal hotspot is not an app or an icon; it is a setting. You must first have your carrier provision it, then you turn it on in settings. Most carriers charge extra for tethering.

Personal Hotspot menu disappeared after I updated my iPhone to iOS 4.3.3

Personal Hotspot menu disappeared after I updated my iPhone to iOS 4.3.3
My carrier provides tethering service and I used it often so I don't think this is from network problem.
What I remember is that after I upgrade my iPhone to iOS 4.3.3 I once activated personal hotspot function and it was hanged.
So I reboot my iPhone and the menu disappeared. Is this another bug that is from iOS 4.3.3??

What is the exact wording of the error message you received?
Has your iPhone been jailbroken or modified to work with other
than the original wireless provider?
Not wise to post IMEI or ICCID in the clear, FYI. I have asked
the hosts to edit that info in your post.

My iPad and laptops don't recognize the wifi hotspot on iPhone 4 iOS 4.3

I think there is an issue with the iOS 4.3 software upgrade. My iPad or laptops don't recognize the wifi personal hotspot on my iPhone 4 (iOS 4.3). Tethering only works on an USB cable on my laptop. I'm not sure why I upgraded my data plan with AT&T to this tethering plan today, only to lose my unlimited plan? Please fix this issue asap. My iPad did recognize my iPhone personal hotspot for a few minutes, but after entering the password, I get the message "unable to connect to the network". Is this an isolated or mass problem???

Any iphone locked to ATT cannot be used with any other sim, unless the phone is jailbroken. In your case, the advice you got is correct. You iphone cannot be used unless in the US with an ATT sim. Apple can do nothing.

Cannot send or receive yahoo mail or gmail from iPhone . installed ios 6 recently. tried rebooting the phone and deleting the email account and adding again but nothing works ! can someone suggest a solution?

Not sure about yahoo, but for gmail, I done the following:
Set up using Exchange on iPhone, it'll keep prompting for password. On PC use captcha option, log in to gmail account from PC after completingg captcha option, enter password on iPhone.
See how that goes for gmail, let us know.
Hopefully someone will have fix for yahoo.

IPhone 4 (iOS 5.0.1) Won't Sync Movies

My iPhone 4 (iOS 5.0.1) stopped syncing videos a few days ago, and removed all the videos I did have on it. Everything else is syncing fine. I double checked that my iOS 5.0.1 & iTunes software (10.5.1) are both up to date. The same goes for my MacBook Pro OS X Version 10.7.2.
iTunes seems normal as if it synced fine, but the "video" app on my iPhone says "No Videos. You can download videos from iTunes." And when I search for specific movies on my phone, none is found. I did a master reboot on my phone, but am hesitant to restore my phone, too, because I always have to re-arrange apps afterwards. Apparetnly, iTunes will remember every setting about my phone except app folders.
Even though this is an Apple problem, it refuses to help me at all, because my phone is already a few months old. Any help from you would be appreciated.
Many thanks!

I have exactly the same issue iTunes 10.5.1 / iPhone 4s (iOS 5.0.1) - impacts Movie and TV Show synch in the same way as described above.

IPhone 4S iOS 7 not syncing - stuck on "determining apps to sync"

Hello all:
My upgrade to iOS 7 started out smoothly enough, but now I have a problem. When I attempt to sync via USB, I get to step 3, "Determining apps to sync," and the sync doesn't go any further. I've tried it a couple of times now, and my current attempt is at 20+ minutes of just sitting there at the same status. Clicking the x in the status box doesn't cancel the sync. I have to force quit (or disconnect) for it to stop.
In the process, my contacts and calendars were erased on my phone, but are still in iCloud. I don't think anything else is missing. All of my apps in iTunes are up to date.
System info:
iPhone 4s
iOS 7.0.2
OSX 10.8.5
iTunes 11.1.1
I can't think of anything else to share. Is there any hope of getting out of this loop? Thanks!

This is very irritating I have a new iMac ($5000) an New ipad ($1000) when I sync the ipad to iTunes I get stuck at "determining apps to sync". I cant even shut down the iMac. I thought apple didnt make junk. ***

IPhone 4 iOS 5.0.1 stops receiving calls and text messages

Hi all,
My iPhone 4 (iOS 5.0.1) suddenly stopped receiving calls and text messages. However, I'm still able to send them.
The workaround for fixing this issue is to make an hard reset to the iPhone.
This only occured with 5.0.1 version. It's very annoying because I'm not able to know if it's working or not (I can only suppose that it's not working when I'm a long period without receiving calls/messages)
Do you know how to solve this ?
Thanks in advance!

First, who really cares what you do? I certainly don't, and I doubt the vast majority of users on this forum don't either. Ridiculous statements like that just make you look stupid.
Second, this is a user to user technical support forum. I saw a lot of whine here, not a question. What is your technical support question?

No text message forwarding option in my iphone 5 ios 8.1

Please help!
I have downloaded the latest ios 8.1 on my iphone 5, and osx yosemite in my macbook. But i still dont have a "TEXT MESSAGE FORWARDING" option in my iphone 5.
I have already included my icloud email in the send and receive options. but i still dont see any text message forwarding

Hi there omengomeng,
You may want to make all of the settings are configured properly on your devices. Take a look at the article below for more information.
Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity
To use Continuity for SMS and MMS on your iPad, iPod touch, and Mac:
Update your iPhone to iOS 8.1 (when available).
Enable iMessage on your Mac and iOS devices.
On your iPhone, go to Settings > Messages and turn on Text Message Forwarding.
Your iPad, iPod touch, or Mac will display a code you can enter on your iPhone to verify the SMS and MMS feature.

Messages on iPhone 4 (iOS 5.1.1) to Messages 8.0 on OSX Mavericks not working

Hello All,
I have a very specific issue with my wifes iPhone 4 on iOS 5.1.1 using Messages to send to my MacBook Pro (MBP) on OSX Mavericks with version 8.0 of Messages.
I find that when ever she sends me a SMS via Messages going over Apples iCloud, that I don't get the message on the MBP and it shows with a red ! on her iPhone.
I have tested a number of different situations,
1) At the moment, both my iPhone 4 (iOS 7.1) and MBP (Messages 8.0) are setup to receive via my mobile number.
When I send a test SMS from her iPhone to my mobile number, the SMS makes it to my iPhone, but not on the MBP Message, and she has a red ! on the SMS on her iPhone, I can try to resend the SMS a number of times and it never makes it to my MBP.
2) I then logged out of iMessage on the MBP Message, so only my iPhone is setup to get SMS via iCloud.
When I send a test SMS from her iPhone to my mobile number, the SMS makes it to my iPhone and all further SMS sent now work and there is no more red ! on her iPhone.
3) I then logged back into iMessage on the MBP and setup Messages to use my email address only.
I then send a SMS from her iPhone to my email address, the SMS makes it and I get it on the MBP Messages. I send a second SMS and that works too.
I then send a third SMS and that fails, there is now a red ! on the iPhone and no message on the MBP. After numerous re-sends and additional SMS to the same email address, I don't get anymore messages to the MBP.
When looking at the syslog on the MBP, the only logging I have at the time of the SMS' being set are:

Is anyone aware of a know issue with iOS 5.1.1 on iPhone 4 that has issues sending message via iCloud to Messages on OSX?
I am not able to reinstall iOS 5.1.1 as it's not allowed anymore, I can't upgrade to iOS 6.1.x as that is not allowed either.
I don't want to upgrade to iOS 7.1 as it's slow as anything on an iPhone 4 and Apple should have left iOS 6 as the last version for iPhone 4
Thanks
Josh

Thank you for the comment and the link.
Unfortunately what you have said is not very helpful and untrue. I have not caused the issues here, there seems to be a bug or design issues here between iOS 5.1.1 and Message 8.0 on OSX. That is what I am asking about.
Maybe what you may mean by your response is that by not upgrading to iOS 7.1, it will not be fixed.
But you can't say 100% that upgrading to iOS 7.1 is the fix, as you don't know 100% what the issue/bug/fault is.
As an aside, I am looking for a solution apart from updating from iOS 5.1.1 to iOS 7.1.
I do run iOS 7.1 on my iPhone 4 and have disabled as much as possible and it's still not as good as iOS 6 for speed and regret the upgrade.
