The hot spot is a carrier feature. Since you are not in ATT it isn't working.
Contact your carrier to see if it can be activated.

Hey Owinoc,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues with Personal Hotspot since upgrading to iOS 7.1. The following resource may provide a solution:

2. Make sure Personal Hotspot is on: Tap Settings > Cellular > Personal Hotspot.
3. Check the Internet connection on your iOS device: Tap Safari and load a new webpage.
4. If one connection type doesn't work, try another. For example, instead of connecting using Wi-Fi, use USB or Bluetooth.

IPhone 5 unable to use mobile data, only FaceTime and passbook listed

my iPhone 5 is unable to use mobile data, only passbook and face time are listed, none of my apps. I have tried re setting and this didn't work, mobile data is switched on

Hi Lydia,
It may help to force close all open apps and reset your iPhone.

Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT1430
If you still can't enable mobile data for your various apps, the next step would be to reinstall iOS on your device by placing it in Recovery Mode, then choosing Update in iTunes.
Make sure that you have iTunes 12 or later on your computer.
Put your device in recovery mode.
When you get the option to restore or update, select Update. This will reinstall iOS without erasing your data.
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on

Use mobile hotspot to provide internet to Aiport Extreme?

I just got a Sierra W801 mobile hotspot and want to use it as my internet for my home network. Right now it is tethered to my iMac via USB. It does not have any other ports, only wireless b/g and can only connect to up to 5 devices.
I can think of two ways that might work, but so far have been unable to make either of these work.
1. Set my iMac up to share it's internet connection (provided by the mobile hotspot) through its ethernet port which is connected to the airport extreme.
Or..
2. Use the airport extreme to joint the wireless network provided by the mobile hotspot. This is how it is currently set up, but AppleTV won't talk to my iMac and the cable box can't get to the internet via ethernet. But at least I have a green light.
Which of these two might have the best chance of success? Is there perhaps another option that I'm not aware of?

Is there perhaps another option that I'm not aware of?
Something like this type of Cellular Broadband Adapter would do what you want, assuming that it is compatible with your provider's service.

IP Address Conflict Using Mobile Hotspot On Iphone 5

Hello,
I just got my new Iphone 5 and I love it, apart from one little problem. Now when I connect it to my laptop using the mobile hotspot (either via usb or wireless) I am constantly getting a network error popup stating that there is an ip address conflict.
Hardware info:
Iphone 5 16gb
Asus G74S Laptop with Windows 7 64bit
Error info:
The error popup is in the form of a small window titled Network Error. It states "Windows has detected an IP address conflict" "Another computer on this network has the same IP address as this computer... blah blah blah"
The windows system event viewer has the following log:
Source is Tcpip
The system detected an address conflict for IP address :: with the system having network hardware address 00-00-00-00-00-00. Network operations on this system may be disrupted as a result.
The event ID is 4199
Done so far:
Already did every single troubleshooting step in regards to ip address conflicts, ipconfig /release and /renew, flush dns etc. I even did an entire system restore on my laptop back to factory settings. Installed a fresh Itunes 10.7 64bit and reconnected my new Iphone 5 and am still getting this message. I never had this problem with my Iphone 4.
Called Apple tech support, they ran me through all the steps relating to the phone itself, reseting network settings, resetting factory settings, removing and re-inserting the sim card, you name it.
Disabled IPv6 in the registry and reboot, still the same popup occurs.
Tried to assign a static IP address to Ipv4, still the same popup
Any ideas?

Still having the same issue....Is there another thread in which this is resolved? Iphone 5, IOS 6. It's just the phone tethered to a laptop (have tried with two laptops, both get the ip address conflict error, so the problem resides in the phone). No other devices are on the network. Was this ever addressed?
We use the iphone 5 as a mobile hotspot for our business, which is completely internet/skype based, and we need to be mobile. Mifi keeps kicking off the connection, so they are not an option. Thank you.

Samsung LTE Mobile Hotspot PRO USB cable connection to Mac

I am trying to connect a Samsung LTE Mobile Hotspot PRO via USB cable to my Macbook and iMac. I can see it in the System Information, but it does not show up in the Devices in Finder. Is there a driver that I need? Does it exist (yet)?

So I was able to get USB tethering to work, but I still can't connect to the hotspot as a media device (and view what is on my microSD card and/or the device).
Here's how I got USB tethering to work: I plugged into my laptop running Linux, where both USB tethering and mounting as a media device work fine, found the Mac OS driver on the device, copied it over to my Macbook, installed, rebooted, wirelessly connected to the hotspot, configured for USB tethering, went to Open Network Preferences..., connected to "SAMSUNG Mobile Device". I did all this after talking to Samsung on the phone, where they told me the driver does not exist yet....

HT201270 I am unable to use personal hotspot in iPad 3

I am unable to get the settings as personal hotspot .

Does your carrier support it on the iPad (even if they support it on the iPhone they don't necessarily also support it on the iPad) ? You may also need to contact them in case it's an extra fee/subscription, and it should initially appear under Settings > General > Network > Personal Hotspot (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4517)

Mobile Hotspot Issue after 10.1 Update

Hello, just wondering if there is a know issue with using mobile Hotspot after update z10 to 10.1. After this update was installed Mobile Hotspot will turn on but past network that I had created is not there anymore, also I cannot configure, when I press configure nothing happens, and then Mobile Hotspot turns itself off.

Hello dnivek,
Welcome to the forums.
I would suggest you contact your mobile service provider to ensure you are on the correct data plan to allow you to use the Mobile Hotspot feature. If they confirm you are on the correct plan and have the correct APN settings then please have them escalate your issue to BlackBerry Technical support for investigation.

Pre Plus Mobile Hotspot laptop connection issues

Hello All.
I think this is a duplicate post because I hit enter accidentally! Sorry.
I am having a problem connecting my laptop to the internet using Mobile Hotspot through VzW. I have activated the feature on VzW, have the software loaded on my Pre Plus and have tested it successfully with my daughter's iTouch device. She was able to easily connect and access the web while we were in the car.
My laptop recognizes the MHS as a WiFi access and connects to it initially. When it tries to acquire a network address, it fails. I says that the connection has limited or no connectivity. I cannot get on the web with that.
My question is what settings I might need to set on my laptop to help with this connectivity. I have WAP Personal set with the appropriate Key on both devices.
Any thoughts from anyone? I would appreciate any help. I like the concept of the feature but not being able to connect my laptop really puts a damper on my enthusiasm!
Thanks for any help you can give.

I had the same issue. I resolved it by using a passcode that has 8 lowercase letters and no numbers...

Problem w/ droid 2 as a mobile hotspot.

Trying to use mobile hotspot on my phone. I enable the app, and plug it into laptop in pc mode. When it comes time to access the internet the 3g connection drops off and doesn't return until the phone is unplugged from the laptop. Not sure how to fix this.

Hi chalk70,
Thank you for your inquiry. Are you still having the connection drops when using your hotspot? Are you aware of a software update that has been made available? If you have not updated your Droid 2 device, I suggest this update. This link provides information how to access the update with instructions for installing it along with the many benefits. One of the benefits of this update is helps correct the drop connections issue as it relates to the hotspot as well as many other featured improvements.

How to use iPhone USB tethering / Personal Hotspot without iTunes

I have a corporate laptop so didn't want to install the whole of iTunes to enable USB tethering / Personal Hotspot.
Here's how you can enable USB tethering / Personal Hotspot without installing iTunes.
1. Download iTunes from https://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
2. Extract the contents of the downloaded file using winRAR or 7zip. In particular you want the following files:
For 32 bit systems:
- AppleApplicationSupport.msi
- AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi
For 64 bit systems:
- AppleApplicationSupport64.msi
- AppleMobileDeviceSupport6464.msi
Note: If you don't have either winRAR or 7zip you can do the following instead:
Start the iTunes installation, then on reaching the first screen, the required files will be extracted to your machine, perform a search for one of the files above on your C drive whilst the iTunes installation window is open, it should find them in a temp folder somewhere, you can then copy and paste them somewhere and close the iTunes installation.
3. Before continuing, ensure your iphone is not connected to the computer. Then, install AppleApplicationSupport.msi (or AppleApplicationSupport64.msi for 64 bit machine)
4. Install AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDevice6464.msi)
5. Restart your computer
6. After your computer has restarted, enable Personal Hotspot on your iPhone (select USB only option) and plug in your iPhone using the USB cable. Some device drivers will install and then your computer should automatically connect to the iPhone internet connection.

Hi kveille,
Using the personal hotspot can become tricky as there are three different options available. Based on your details, it sounds like you've been trying the option to connect using WiFi on your computer and iPad. We have the steps needed for iOS 6 to activate and use WiFi so I encourage to use these exact steps to get it to work http://bit.ly/SFLD2b. You will need to check that the MacBook Pro is setup to pick up the network the right way. Check by following http://bit.ly/PJkOWZ. Step 9 demonstrates how to find the network name that you can look for on your computer. Try these steps and keep us posted to the status of the connection.
Thank you,
