Trouble with Personal Hotspot after iOS 6 upgrade

I have the "new" iPad (3rd gen) with LTE on Verizon, 32GB White. I purchased it about 2 weeks after
It has worked flawlessly as a personal hotspot from the day I bought it, until upgrading to iOS 6.
After the iOS 6 upgrade, I can connect without an issue the first time I use persona hotspot (either of my 2 laptops or my iphone). If I turn Personal Hotspot off or let it time out, my devices will take a long time, but seemingly connect to the hotspot and pull an IP address (170.20.10.x). The problem is that I cannot connect to the internet. My work laptop (Windows 7) will report limited connectivity, my macbook will report that it can't connect to the internet and my iphone will fall back to the cellular connection (3G EVDO) for internet.
If I restart the iPad (by holding home and power buttons), I can use the hotspot ONCE normally and all devices can connect to the internet. The process repeats and if I turn it off or it times out, I have to restart again to use the hotspot.
I have "reset network settings" on the iPad but this had no impact, and the problem persists.
What else can I do to restore the personal hotspot functionality?
Any help is GREATLY appreciated.

I had the same problem with my iPhone - personal hotspot worked just once and then restart was needed. Today I tried to soft reset my iPhone and it seems it helped. Before reset, I was able to reproduce this error everytime I tried. Now personal hotspot works for whole day without problems. I hope the issue won't come back.
Soft reset can be performed by simultaneous holding home and power button. It should not cause loss of any data or settings.

How to fix Missing Personal Hotspot after ios 5.1.1. upgrade

After upgrading the IOS 5.1.1. yesterday, I found that the Hotspot function cannot be used. Even the Hotspot Icon disappeared. Please help.

I found this happend to my ipad 1 and nothing seemed to resolve the problem......But I found a way around this quite easy: 1. Turn on personal hotspot on your iphone or what ever phone you may have that has this feature. 2. turn on bluetooth on your phone and your ipad. 3. search devices on your ipad and find your phone through the bluetooth feature. 4. now connect the 2 devices and your phone will start to flash "personal hotspot connection"
Your ipad infact does not even need a personal hotspot icon anymore to connect to your phone, its all done through bluetooth anyway. The only downside is that you will not be able to connect the 2 devices via wifi which you could do after 5.1.1 update , but at least you can still tether your 2 devices and enjoy internet on your ipad without needing a 3G sim version of ipad. Hope this helped

Trouble with the device after iOS 5.0.1 update

After upgrding my iPod Touch 4G to iOS 5.0.1, the device seems to have slowed down a little bit. For instance when im listening to music and i unlock my iPoad it takes a long tme to unlock (5-6 secs).Even during multi-tasking i experience a serious lag, it like my iPod is dragging itself and at times the screen just goes blank. I tried restoring it, but of no use. Kindy assist

If you do a reset to factory ondition, you'll loose your data. First...
Try just a simple Reset. Does Spotlight find if you do a search for it? Also check your Restrictions settings.
Reset: Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears (ignore the Slide to Power Off option that shows up first).

Trouble with mini ipad after ios 7

Since IOS7 cannot enter to the appstore in my mini ipad, just by the desktop;its asking me several times my apple ID but does not enter or do anything.
Anyone with the same issue?
How do I fix this?

Try not to leave your iPad with the screen shining and the charger plugged in. This happens especially when you put it on some soft warming area like your bed or leave it in its case.

Trouble with booting system after upgrade udev= systemd

Hi everybody,
I have been trouble with my system since last upgrade (udev => systemd)
My issue is something like this: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1106157 but advice from this discussion doesn't work.
When system booting, *immediately* (very fast, too fast) display login screen after start parsing hook [udev]
Of course, i can't login - type username and i have redraw screen again on all /dev/tty* - i have no chance to type password.
Many invalid logins suspend init for 5 minutes and allow me see display error due stop redraw screen - libpam.so.0 cannot find.
I suspect that, partitions aren't mount (this fast login screen doesn't have even hostname). I have a 4 discs, with many partitions - mounting
this take a some time (+- 5 secs).
In rescuecd, i can mount all partitions and chroot. In chroot all works fine - /bin/login (i was checked authorization on all users),
paths and pams are ok. Of course i try ,,default rescue trick'': `pacman -Suy linux udev mkinitcpio` and 'mkinitcpio -p linux' on rescuecd
but nothing it's changed after reboot. I checking grub config, and unpack and check initramfs-linux.img - all ok.
In my mkinitcpio.conf ofcourse i have MODULES="ext3" (for my filesystems).
Please help.

This may or may not be related... but I saw this message just now during an upgrade:
(121/168) upgrading mkinitcpio [###################] 100%

to /etc/mkinitcpio.conf and regenerate your images before rebooting
And am wondering what the message means by if /usr is on a separate partition - separate partition to what? /boot? / ?
I have my /usr partition in the same partition as / (but /boot is in a different partition)
Logic tells me I'm safe (haven't rebooted yet), as / is "master", and anything else is a separate partition, and I have /usr on the same partition as /.
Do you guys have separate /usr and/or /boot partitions? As stated in first sentence this may not be related, but looks important...
It means separate from /. So yes, you're right, you are "safe" from having to do anything with this message on your system.
And to the other people on this thread: make sure you do have all your packages uniformly updated, including any pam-related AUR or ABS-build packages. libpam and the pam module directory (.../lib/security) were moved from /lib to /usr/lib a little while back, so make sure that anything that cares about where these may be have been updated so they aren't confused by this move.

Has anyone had trouble with dropped calls after downloading the IOS 7

has anyone had trouble with dropped calls after downloading the IOS 7

I downloaded mountain lion and then iPhoto '11 in order to tap into iCloud capabilities with all of my devices. (My Mac was outdated in regards to operating platform to do this). After installing iPhoto 11, I had to repair and rebuild my library of photos. However, after doing this, all of my albums were jumbled and, while I can see the image thumbnail, when I click on the thumbnail, and error that looks like a black triangle and gray exclamation pops up as opposed to the larger hi def image I want to view.

Hello SHenoudabak,
It sounds like you are trying to find the Personal Hotspot option in your Settings. You were close. The option is directly under Settings, and not in the Cellular section of Settings:
Go to Settings > Personal Hotspot

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,

HTC Sensation no longer pairs with iPad 3 after IOS 6 Upgrade

HTC Sensation no longer pairs with iPad 3 after IOS 6 Upgrade

Lots of people having this problem? Hmm. For what it's worth I haven't seen that problem on my iPad 3
This is a user to user forum so no one here would have any idea whether there is a real problem and, if so, whether Apple is working on a fix.
Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPad shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off".

I'm talking about the PAID FOR "Personal Hotspot" AT&T feature that comes with a 4GB dataplan. If you have a Jailbroken phone then this isn't for you.... Anyway, upgraded to IOS 5 and at the worst possible time I discovered that my phone no longer had the ability to share it's over the air data with my Laptop. Restarting the phone didn't help, turning cellular data on and off didn't help and after hitting a wall I called AT&T's tech support number as I had a strong suspicion what the problem was and that they'd be able to help. Despite explaining the problem and proposing a quick fix the agent made reference to an internal memo saying there are bugs in IOS 5 and that my lack of tether was an Apple software issue and I had to call them. Frankly in this case it's VERY MUCH an AT&T provisioning issue, and one AT&T should have their techs deal with in 30 seconds rather than waste customer's time pointing fingers. After a long and frustrating attempt to get the tech to fix the problem I ended the call by CANCELLING my tether plan and going back to the "Regular" 2GB plan. Reason being hat if it's an IOS bug then it will be weeks I'm paying for service that I'm not getting, or if I was right the problem would be fixed on my next call to AT&T. For giggles I called and spent a very miserable 40 minutes dealing with Apple's IVR and nice but dim tech who was more concerned that I didn't have Apple care than anything else. That call ended with Apple saying it's not them and I should call AT&T support... However, instead of beating my head against the wall again I called SALES and asked them to add 4GB data and teher to my phone. 5 minutes later I had working tether. Problem solved. Basically to enable tether the phone has to pass a sanity check that it hasn't been tampered with, and then to activate the feature a fil is pushed down over the air to "Bless" the iPhone. I suspect as part of the IOS upgrade something went out of whack with either the file or the anti-tamper checks. Solution was to reprovision tethering, but AT&T support wouldn't hear of it. So, if you have lost tethering after an IOS 5 upgrade and AT&T support won't help then the solution is pretty painless. A) call customer service (not tech support) and CANCEL your tethering and extended dataplan. B) Turn your phone off for 5 minutes, then wait another 30 mins or so and call SALES. Ask them to add Tethering and extended data to your account. C) Wait another 30 minutes, or if you're impatient you can try turning your phone on and off again, and you'll be back in business. The down side to the is is you pay for two data plans for this month, but get a credit for the overlap next month (ie net you don't lose out). Hoping AT&T reads this and stops wasting everyone's time by enabling 1st level support to deprovision and then reprovision tether without messing with billing. We can live in hope, but until then I hope this may help someone being bounced around in a game of "Blame Tennis". Once again AT&T = All Twisted & Tangled!
