Using my personal hotspot to connect and set my ipad

Hi folks im having trouble using my personal hotspot to connect and set my ipad, the phone tells me thge ipad is connected to it via the hotspot but on the Ipad its founbd my phone and the little chain link hasd gone blue but i cant advance from this point to connect to itunes

Yes, the iPad will download app updates over your iPhone's cellular data. I just tested it.  I was tethered to my iPhone using Bluetooth, which I figured to make it even less likely to do so, but as soon as I turned on auto updates it started updating apps.
It's not obvious at first either. You can't see any progress bars. You will just notice  the number of pending updates gradually decreasing, and in the App Store "Updates" section you will notice apps appear as updated on this date.

  • Use iPhone personal hotspot to connect my iPad with my laptop

    I am living in school residence so I don't have a wireless connection, nor am I allowed to use a router on the school internet.
    I have an iPhone with data plan and personal hotspot. I want to watch movies on my iPad, streaming from my laptop, using some apps like VLC Streamer.
    So my questions are, can I set up a network using my iPhone, and have both my laptop and iPad connect to my personal hotspot? Will that allow me to use VLC Streamer? And will my mobile carrier charge me for the data between my laptop and iPad, which should be considered a local connection?
    Thanks a million!

    Please help me!!!

  • Personal Hotspot - IPhone 4S and IPad 2

    I have found issues similar to my issue.  Some are older and most do not have a solution.
    Just moved from a HTC Inspire 4G (AT&T) to the IPhone 4s (AT&T).   With the Inspire, I used the personal hotspot to connect my iPad 2.  I was hoping to do the same with the 4s.
    With the Inspire I never (yes, never) had an issue with the iPad and the hotspot.  With the 4s, I will be surfing along or watching a movie and I will lose the Internet connection.
    Symptoms:
    The iPad will connect to the iPhone with no problem
    The connection is established and an IP address assigned
    Connection is solid for about 10 minutes then no Internet connection
    Important to note that the WiFi connection between the two devices appears to be up.  I do not lose the IP address.  The iPhone reports a device connected.  The iPad reports it is connected to the iPhone.
    Both are running the latest IOS 5.0.1
    If I attach a Windows device to the hotspot, I do not lose connection.
    As soon as I disconnect the Windows device, the iPad will lose Internet (but not the connection)
    The only fix is to cycle the personal hotspot on the phone.
    I have tried variations of the fixes for similar issues with no permanent fix.
    Any ideas? 

    Im not sure if I'm experiencing the exact same symptoms, but it seems to me every time the ipad goes to sleep / left unused for 8-10 minutes, the wifi link between the devices is lost, and i have to reconnect them again.

  • I can no longer connect to the internet on my laptop using my personal hotspot. Stopped working all of a sudden. Any tips as to why?

    I used to always use my personal hotspot and connect to the internet on my laptop. Then one day it stopped working. I updated my phone so my hotspot password changed, so I changed that in the properties. It now says it's connected to my iPhone and there's internet access, but when I try to do anything it says not connected.

    It shows a connection. When using wifi n USB. I don't know how to connect using Bluetooth seeing what it says to do is totally different from my computer.
    I do have a connection but I can only connect to some sites, I tried YouTube n nfl.com n they both worked but google, hotmail n Facebook said couldn't connect.
    I tried using safari on my computer n like explorer I could only connect to a few different websites.

  • Using the personal hotspot feature on the iPhone 5, I am able to connect to the internet.  We also use Juniper NCP client to access our system remote.  A VPN connection is created, but I am unable to access servers on our network.  This works on iPhone 4.

    Using the personal hotspot feature on the iPhone 5, I am able to connect to the internet.  We also use Juniper NCP client to access our local system from a remote location.  A VPN connection is created, but I am unable to access servers in our network.  This same functionality works using my colleagues iPhone 4.
    Both phones are running iOS 6.1.3.  I tried to reset network settings, but still unable to ping servers in our network.  This is a feature that our sales team relies heavily on when out of the office.  Hoping someone has some suggestions on what is different between the 2 phones.

    Hi,
    Generally, this issue should be related with something called split tunneling, since you’re using a F5 vpn client, you need to look for something related to split tunneling in the F5 VPN client's documentations.
    Here is an example, share it with you as a reference.

    I've been using my personal hotspot between my iPhone and iPad, but I don't believe I've changed anything with my phone contract, will I be charged on my next bill?

    Depends on whether your carrier supports Personal Hotspot & how/if they charge for this feature. Some carriers include Personal Hotspot as part of your data plan, some require it be provisioned on your account. Contact your carrier & see what their requirements are. The fact that you have the Personal Hotspot setting indicates your carrier supports this feature.

    How do I connect my new iPad to my iphone4s using my personal hotspot on my iPhone.
    It will take my pass word.

    when you switch your hotspot on your phone you will see a user password - when you switch your laptop on and search for your iphone connect and you will be asked for the user password once you enter it and click connect you will link the two devices and they will work together as long as you have a good signal and good data allowance you shouldn't have any issues

    Personal hotspot has dissappeared from setting, I tried resetting my network setting but that didn't fix the problem 

    Have you tried to erase your drive and reinstall the OS - you should use recoery (hold Command + R keys while restarting). Since the items in the menu bar are part of the system, a clean reinstall of the system should take care of it.
    As it is dangerous to post private information in a public forum, I will ask the hosts to remove it.
    FWIW, we are all other users here - you are not addressing Apple.

  • Using iPhone 4s personal hotspot as wifi on a new iPad?

  • TS2756 Using the personal hotspot

    I just got an iPhone 5 and want to disconnect internet service since I can use the personal hotspot.  My friend's laptop will connect, but mine won't unless I use the USB connection.  Any thoughts?

    Hey rjnelson,
    I see you came from the iOS: Troubleshooting Personal Hotspot, which is applicable to the issue you describe. If you haven't already, I would run through the steps within that article, specifically the following:
    Try disabling and reenabling Personal Hotspot from Settings > Personal Hotspot or Settings > General > Cellular > Personal Hotspot.
    Install the latest version of iOS. Tap Settings > General > Software Update.
    Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    If none of the previous steps resolves your issue, restore the iPhone.
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
    Have a great day,

  • Personal Hotspot Stopped Connecting

    Hello --
    (My apologies ... this was also posted in the Hardware forum before I realized this was the appropriate place.)
    Hope you can help.
    I have an iPhone4.  Been using the personal hotspot off and on for the past three weeks.  No problems.  Used it today then went to use it again tonight and it will not connect.  Shows in my Mac Airport as an optional connection but when I click on (just as I have been doing all along), it now asks for a password.  I had to do this when I first connected but, after that, stopped asking for it.  Nonetheless, I did type it in this time and that did not work.  Keeps timing out.  I tried changing the password -- that didn't work either.  No updates have been done.
    I've restarted the computer, turned off the hotspot and then back on, etc.  I do have a MiFi and I alternate between using these two for internet connection.  As I said, it is only tonight that it just stopped connecting.  It does show as available and, in the past, I could just flip between the two options.
    Ideas?  Suggestions?
    Thanks so much.

    It did not solve the problem. As I mentioned before, it suddenly stopped connecting with my computer or iPad. I wonder if this could have been caused by one of those external batteries that I installed on my cellphone. Have you had any reports on external batteries damaging this function?. It works sometimes, but not all the time.

  • I have iPhone 4 and I update it to iOS 7 and when I try to start the personal hotspot it crashed and for sometime my cellular data was also not working then allot a sudden the personal hotspot icon disappeared from my settings

    Has anyone faced a problem like this!!!

    No. If you go Settings App > General > Reset > "Erase All Content and Settings", you will have the same iOS that was on the iPhone when you tapped the Erase button. If you believe your iPhone is Jailbroken, then this will not work. If you use iTunes on computer, this will put iPhone to current iOS which is iOS 7.0.2

    First, your carrier must support Personal Hotspot, and second, your account must be provisioned for such. Otherwise, that setting will not appear. So, contact your carrier.
