  • Connect ipad to personal hotspot

    My iPhone 4S says Personal Hotspot is turned on and has one connection. My iPad (3rd iteration) has my 4S in Wi-Fi -> Choose a Network... but instead of a tick, there's just a swirling busy circle and the iPad stays offline. Both devices running iOS 6. Anyone any ideas?

    My iPhone 4 kicks my Ipad 2 off both on iOS6 after a bit of inactivity then I get this same problem.  Most of the time my luck is bad and I cant even connect the two in the first place. /sigh. so buggy.
    I also have issues with bluetooth, my iPad can see my phone but my phone cant see the iPad until I accept the pair then it either connects when I pair them or it pops up only for a moment on the phone then disappears.  After this happens I cant connect anything.

  • I can't link my iPhone 4S to my iPad air. I can't connect to a personal hotspot or Bluetooth link them! Any ideas?

    I can't link my iPhone 4S to my iPad air. I can't connect to a personal hotspot or Bluetooth link them! Any ideas?
    In settings under mobile (cellular) I've turned on mobile data, 3G and data roaming.
    Under mobile (cellular) data network APN details are filled in and I have tried reset settings all ready.
    What I'd like to do is link the two devices so I can use my phone's 3G on my iPad.
    I can't get either device to connect via Bluetooth with each other!
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Hello Hollystorm1
    Check out the article below to setup your personal hotspot on your iPhone. Check with your carrier to ensure that is a feature that you can do with your iPhone.

    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) 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.

    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

  • IPad2 connection to iPhone Personal Hotspot

    I have the iPhone4 that i got specifically to connect my iPad the Personal Hotspot feature. But the connection is not stable. As long as i am using my iPad, i don't notice any problems, but if the iPad is not used, when i go back, the connection to the Personal Hotspot is lost, and it takes a restart of the feature on the iPhone before the iPad can discover the WiFi.  Bluetooth connection is better, but still drops and requires restarting/reconnecting the iPad before it can be used.  This is not caused by going out of range of the iPhone WiFi, as i carry the iPad with me the whole time.
    An annoyance more than anything.  When connected to a "normal" wireless router, such as in my home, never see this problem.

    this being a user helping user forum where apple dont read or write nobody would be able to answer you question but you can request apple

  • HT204023 How do you view the devices connected to your personal hotspot?

      My mac book is connected to my iPhone, and it is the only device I have allowed to connect, but in the menu bar on the iphone it shows that there are two connections to my personal hotspot.

    You must do this in iTunes on a computer. Read this for the instructions.
    iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID

  • HT204023 Is it possible to delete other devices that are connected to your personal hotspot?

    When I turn my personal hotspot on I have quite a few people that are already connected to my personal hotspot connecting automatically and I don't want them. Is there a way of resetting it so people don't automatically connect?

    Again: Change the password:
    You can change your Wi-Fi password by tapping Settings > Personal Hotspot or Settings > General > Cellular > Personal Hotspot and then tapping the Wi-Fi password.
    Your Wi-Fi password must be at least eight characters long and use ASCII/Unicode characters. Use of non-ASCII characters (Japanese, Russian, Chinese, and so on) will prevent other devices from connecting.

  • TS1398 Unable to connect to my home Wi-Fi with my iPad. I have tried just about everything I could find in the Apple Support Community. Perhaps this is a new known problem??

    I have tried all the recommend solutions I could find in the Apple Support Community.  I noticed a couple of weeks ago the iPad was acting funny about connecting to the internet via the Wi-Fi.  The past two days, it wasn't able to connect to the wireless router at all.  It recognizes that the wireless router network exists, it just can't join.  I tried the re-boot method. I have re-set the network setting on the iPad back to factory.  I even thought my old wireless router may have issues and bought a new one yesterday, and the iPad actually worked for about 24 hours and now I am back to the iPad not being able to connect to the wireless router.  I have re-entered the wireless router from scratch thinking that there may have been a bug in the setup.  I have removed the security settings from the wireless router to see if that may have prevented the iPad from connecting but got the same message "Unable to Join". I have cleared the cookies and data, as that was also a recommended fix, but that didn't work.  I also connected the iPad to the computer so that I could check for the latest update.  iPad has the latest version, so that solution didn't work.  Does anyone out there got any other ideas, or are you experiencing the same problem?  Is there some known issue that I am not aware of???

  • Connecting an iPad via Personal Hotspot?

    I'm considering buying an iPad3. But am baulking at the extra £100 required for the cellular option. I've successfully used my iPhone4 to connect my macbook (via Personal Hotspot) is it possible to do the same with the non-cellular version of the iPad3?
    Thanks
    John

    Yes - I've used the personal hotspot from my iPhone to access the internet on my wifi-only iPad.

  • Unable to connect iPad Mini to Wifi as of this morning

    My ipad mini stopped connecting to Wi-fi just this morning. My regular iPad 3 and iPhone 5 and other devices are all able to connect. I downloaded the latest software update (6.0.2) and I am still unable to connect the ipad mini to wifi. It has been reset, restored, etc etc etc and still is not working. I've tried everything I could think of and find for the past few hours. The 6.0.2 update was supposed to fix it as per the description, but it did not. Note that everything was working fine until this morning and nothing changed - no app downloads, nothing with the wifi, etc.
    My iPad Mini still will not connect to Wi-fi. Any suggestions?

    Some things to try first:
    1. 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.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. 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
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

  • Can't Pair iPhone to iPad using Personal Hotspot

    Hello. I have an iPhone3GS and an iPad (WiFi only). I recently updated my iPhone to use the new 4.3 software and see that it now has the "Personal Hotspot" option. I called AT&T and activated the functionality. However, it appears that I can only use the "Hotspot" via bluetooth or USB.
    That's OK but I am trying to connect it to my Ipad. I cannot seem to figure out how to pair the iPhone to the iPad. In the Bluetooth screen, neither of them will show the other. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4517
    Bluetooth is not supported for file transfer
    You can pair to tether.
    You have to use USB
