When I use my phone as a hotspot I can no longer connect to the Internet on it
Hi, when I use my phone as a personal hotspot I can no longer use the Internet on it. I know some friends that whilst their phone is set up as a hotspot they can still use the Internet on it, how can I get mine so I can still use the Internet whilst set up as a hotspot? I'm using the 4s on 3mobile and tethering with my 1st generation iPad!
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.

how do i wipe my old phone if it can no longer connect to the internet? I enter my passcode and apple id, but 'verification fails' as there is no internet connection???
Hi, JTCW33.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you still have possession of the iPhone you wish to wipe, here are a couple articles that will walk you through the process.
What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

iOS: Unable to update or restore

If you no longer have access to your device, it will need to be connected to the Internet in order to remote wipe the device.

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.

iam using iphone 4S with win 7 PC and i cannot connect to the internet through my phone but i tried with my other 4S and it works but what should i do for the first iphone 4S???
as i said i have two iphone 4S,,,,,
1st one --- has os 5.1
2nd one has os 6.0
i tried 2nd one with carrier reliance gsm nd it works with that personal hotspot setting using USB...
but i want to connect the first 4S with carrier TATA DOCOMO GSM but its not working with the same USB feature????
plz reply asap...!!!
thnxxx in advance!!!If not this:
iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
One user reported that placing the iPod in the freezer fixed the problem.
Also heating sometimes works. See:
Why can't I select my wifi settings?
A trick that works frequently with iPhones:
Settings > AirPlane Mode ON, Do Not Disturb ON
Power down and wait 5-10 minutes
Power up
Settings > AirPlane Mode OFF, Do Not Disturb OFF
If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.

Then:
Does the iOS device connect to other networks? See other networks? If yes that tends to indicate a problem with your network.
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

hie there Actually um trying to update new iOS 7 for my iphone 4 but when i press the button to install new software suddenly it appears why " iOs 7 failed verification because you are no longer connected to the internet " even my phone is already connected to net
I tried powering down and re-starting the iPhone (as suggested at http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275). This seems to have cleared the "...not connected to the Internet" problem, and iOS 6.1 is now in the process of downloading.
Thanks very much for your feedback. -
Why can't I connect to the Internet on my Adobe Reader? And why do websites tell me I don't have Adobe downloaded when I have an updated version on my computer? It is an IPad,does that affect it?
Also, download and open the free Adobe Reader app. Then read the Help section to figure out how to use it.

after update to the latest version on my ipad, it no longer connects to the internet nor can i send emails. when plugged in to sync with itunes, it remains 'stuck' at syncing step 2 of 7 backing up. has anyone had similar problems? any solutions?
I had this problem. I held down the power switch to power down completely. Takes a few seconds. Then use the power switch to turn on. Might take a couple goes.

Update to IOS 6.1.1 failed verification because you are no longer connected to the Internet when using home Wifi and verifing connectivity by using Safari to surf net and viewing wifi setting. Do setting need to be adjusted?
This is what worked for me: Double tap your home button to bring up the programs running in the back ground, press and hold so they show the red close option and close all programs. After that shut your iphone down and power back on. Immediately go to General>Software Update and it should work. Good Luck

Is there a way to transfer the iTunes application to my PC using my iPhone? My PC has no means of connecting to the Internet and I do not wish to pay for Internet tethering for a one time use. I don't have the app on my computer and I simply wish to have it on there to actually be able to transfer my files.
You can transfer the app to your PC to save it, the article below will show you how:

When I connect to my usual VPN connection, I can no longer connect to email, internet, etc.
Upgraded to Yosemite. When I connect to my usual VPN connection, I can no longer connect to email, internet, etc. Only happening on my MacBook Pro. My iMac works fine. Thoughts?
Richard, I think there's a solution. Found this on another support site:
..."There is a long discussion of the problem as it relates of iOS8 and OS10.10 here:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6555023?start=0&tstart=0"
..."DNS will no longer work with .local domains which do not advertise a SOA record"
..."Just simply add domain.local in the pane of Search Domains which is in Network / VPN / Advanced / DNS tab"
Did just that and now .local's resolve correctly. (make sure to restart the vpn connection to apply the new search). -
When Mozilla Firefox last automatically updated, it suggested that Adobe Reader needed updating. After updating to Adobe Reader 8, I can no longer print from the internet, only to a file. I know the printer and its interface must be OK because Word prints normally.
Problem solved, it was my oversight, I had not removed the check from the Print to File box in the print set up.
