Why apple remove personal hotspot in ios 8 on the iPad

why apple remove personal hotspot in ios 8 on the iPad ?
i Am using my iPad as a hotspot to connect to the internet using my MacBook, now i can't
really I need help , or I need an app to solve this missing option

Well i got my iPad in India, Apple sells unlocked versions here. So i am tied with any provider, i can put in any carrier's sim card and it will work.
after upgrading to ios8 the "Personal Hotspot" was not visible. So as you can see in the Discussion above after putting “something” in the Username under APN settings of Personal Hotspot the “Set up Personal Hotspot” menu appeared.  However I get the error about the Carrier if I tap on it…. Which does not make sense as I am using a unlocked iPad Air

    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!

  • Why did Apple remove many of my songs from the cloud?

    Why did Apple remove many of my songs from the cloud?

    Maybe they don't have the same taste in music as you
    Apple don't make or 'own' songs - other companies allow Apple to sell them. Sometimes these rights owners remove the songs from the store. Apple can't do much about that. You should make backups of any purchases, since Apple cannot guarantee they will be available in future.

  • Why apple was not update facetime call over the cellular for iPhone 4?????

    why apple was not update facetime call over the cellular for iPhone 4?????

    Facetime will not use the cellular network (if using AT&T) for the iphone 4, 4S or 5 unless you have signed up for ATT's new data share plan. They stated this several weeks ago when there was talk about Iphone5/IOS 6 and Facetime. Your carrier is the one that decides if Facetime will work over the cellular network or not. You might want to contact them. Your other option is to continue using it via wi-fi.

  • The old calender iOS6, in the year view, it shows how much busy I am in a day by indicating the color intensity. But the new calendar year view is totally useless!!! also too bright!! Why apple does this?? What is the way to revert the calendar back???

    Unfortunately, that's the way the cookie crumbles nowadays. Sir Jony Ive's GUI design for iOS7 has been met with much skepticism (to say the least). But until the company sees the compelling need for an adjustment or reversal, it "ain't happenin' ". So amble over to the feedback page ( http://www.apple.com/feedback/ ) and make your displeasure known to the company, OR make it known by not purchasing its products. Because as long as the iGadgets continue selling as fast as they can make them, they will see no need for change.
    BTW, do note you are NOT talking to Apple here. This is just a user-to-user forum.
    Edit: for now, you can also try out any of the alternate calendaring apps available in the App Store.

  • HT204023 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?

    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.

    as there was some problem with the first one. Now at some places still my old apple Id is appearing.  Pls adv how I change this to my new apple Id.

    Anything you downloaded with the first Apple Id will forever be tied to it, and will always require it to update.
    The question here is, why did you think you needed to create a new Apple ID? What was the problem with the first one?
    To get rid of th old one, you'll need to delete everything you downloaded with it, and then sign out of the ID in several places around the iPad. 
    Go to Settings->iTunes & App Stores->Apple ID->Sign out.
    Repeat the process, for Facetime, Messages, Mail and any other App you need to sign out of.

  • After updating to iOS 8 the iPad Air is getting crashed frequently including safari

    After updating to iOS 8 the iPad Air is getting crashed frequently including safari.

    Have you tried to reset it? Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. When you see the silver apple, let go and let it reboot and see if that helps.
    You may need to restore your iPad. That's where you back it up, then restore it to factory defaults, then put your backup back on so you don't lose any data. Sometimes a fresh start clears out any glitches and can help.
