Why won't my macbook air connect to my iphone 6 hotspot

My macbook air will not pair with my iPhone 6.  I recently upgraded from iPhone 5s to 6 and now I can't pair to the hotspot...anyone else having the same problem?
I've rebooted both the phone and computer, and renamed the phone something other than what the old phone was called.  No joy.

  • Why won't my Macbook Air connect to Airport Extreme?

    I just bought my Macbook Air, May 2014, and it's not connecting to my triangular-shaped Airport Extreme which I've had for years. Airport Utility on my computer finds it, it just won't allow me to connect. Went online looking to see if there's something I should download, but I'm stuck.

  • Why won't my macbook air connect to the internet?

    I recently arrived at my relatives house and connected to their guest internet via password. I opened network preferences, selected the network, and it connected. Then when I went to google chrome and safari, I was sent to a page where a login password was required. I entered this password and surfed the internet until mid day. Then this evening I went to log on to the internet and my macbook air wouldn't bring up the log in page like it had earlier this morning and yesterday evening. My iPod touch connects just fine, and so do the windows computers in the house. There is a three-device limit for the guest internet, but currently there is only one computer on it. I tried restarting my macbook several times, I deleted the account from the list of frequently accessed wifi spots, but nothing seems to work. Help please! And nothing too technical, I'm not really too computer savvy. Thanks.

    I recently had a similar problem.  I tried many solutions that others propsed.
    My particular solution, I "looked" into my Westell router and found its IP address. Seeing the other 5 devices (all were working on the internet), I saw how the ending number of the address identified the particular device on the router. I went to the System Preferences on the MacBook Air, opened up Network, chose Advanced and went to the tab TCP/IP and then in the Configure IPv4 address pull down used the manual DHCP and entered a new number that was 12 higher than another computer. 
    Example 192.168.200.1 was router, another computer was 192.168.200.68 and I gave the Air .80 as the last number.  It worked!
    I don't know what will happen when I return to my usual home network where it was working as well as on others.
    Best of luck to all who have this problem.

  • Why won't my macbook air connect to my wifi, but I have no problems with other devices?

    I can't seem to connect my macbook air to the internet.  I have no problem with my regular mac.  What could the problem be?

    Let us know what any error message is. Otherwise some general things you can try is creating a new network location in System Preferences > Network. Also you can reset the network settings by deleting /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration and restart the computer.

  • Why doesn't my macbook air detect my new iphone 5S?

    why doesn't my macbook air detect my new iphone 5S?

    The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.
    If you bought the product in the U.S. directly from Apple (not from a reseller), you have 14 days from the date of delivery in which to exchange or return it for a refund. In other countries, the return policy may be different. If you bought from a reseller, its return policy applies.

  • Why won't my Macbook Air turn on after an update?

    Hello,
    I was using my Macbook when the Internet decided to go down so I decided to run the latest update. It seemed to be working fine but as soon as it got to a certain stage on the progress bar it would just shut down, it would then chime and the bar would start to get to the same point and repeat the previous. I tried to turn it off at the power button and turn the volume off but it seemed that my keyboard wasn't working. Now my Macbook isn't even turning itself on and off, it seems to be completely broken and won't let me turn it on. Plus this is a fairly new Macbook and I've owned it since December.
    Any help would be appreciated
    Thank you

    My son's Macbook Air would not power on after a firmware update he did this morning. Doing the following 3 times brought it back:
    1. Shut down the computer.
    2. Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected
    3. On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time
    4. Release all the keys and the power button at the same time
    5. Press the power button to turn on the computer.
    Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.

  • Why won't my Macbook Air access a network hard drive?

    I have a BT Home Hub 3 and have connected a Western Digital hard drive into the Home Hub's USB port.
    I have an iMac running Snow Leopard, and a Macbook Air running Lion. When I open Finder on both machines I have "bthub3" appearing under the Shared heading in the sidebar.
    Clicking on the bthub3 on the iMac enables me to access the WD drive without any problems at all.
    However, when I click on bthub3 on the Macbook, it shows a folder called "USB_Disk", but when I click on that I get the message "The operation can't be completed because the original item for "USB_Disk" can't be found."
    Searching the Apple support pages there is a page headed "OS X Lion: If you see "The original item cannot be found" when using a remote disk" which goes on to say that I may be attempting to do something which I can't do with a remote disk."
    This makes no sense to me, especially as I am can't access the hard disk from the iMac with no problems.
    Any thoughts on how I can access the hard disk from the Macbook?
    Thanks very much.

  • Why won't my macbook air boot up after mountain lion update?

    I updated to mountain lion yesterday.  computer acted funny at the end of the night, so i shut the lid.  today, i opened the lid and it didn't turn right on.  so i powered up.  got about halfway into booting, and shut off.  now it won't start up at all.  any help would be awesome!  1,000 karma points to anyone who know what to do, since it won't boot up at all anymore.

    it seems to be a power/battery issue.  unplugged, it won't boot up at all.  plugged in, it boots.  as soon as i unplug, macbook air turns off.  hope this helps you problem solving gurus out there.

  • HT1338 Why won't my MacBook Air Update iPhoto and iMovie ?

    I bought my macbook Air mid last year and the flash drive was faulty in it and i had to have it replaced and ever since that i cant use imessage as they didnt put the serial number back in and now i cant update some applications on my computer and as iPhoto and iMovie. when i try to update these applications it just says " to update this aplication, sign into the account you used to purchase it" i am on the sane account as what i have always used the only differance is i have changed the email from what it use to be

    The download takes a long time. If you have a Ethernet Adaptor use it. Try to locate a high-bandwidth wireless connection. Do you have enough free space on your SSD (including keeping 10-20% empty for VMEM and temporary files)

  • Why won't my MacBook Air boot-up?

    My MacBook Air won't boot up. When turning power on it begins to initialize as normal but never gets past the white screen with the Apple logo. The circle that indicates that it's booting up just spins and spins, but nothing ever happens. I have tried both restarting and completely shutting down, but the same problem occurs. I'm stuck....can anyone help me get past this glitch?

    Your SSD could be permanently damaged.  Can you boot into recovery mode?  CMD+R on startup.
    If you cannot get into recovery mode, any further diagnosis is pure speculation and futile.
    Contact Apple for full in shop diagnosis and possible SSD replacement (if necessary).

  • Why can't my MacBook Air connect to Internet?

    I'm at my Dad's for the holidays.  I normally connect my MacBook Air to his Wifi router without any problems.  But now I can't. 
    Here's what I do to connect:
    Apple icon>System Preferences>Network>Choose his network name>Assist me>Assistant
    This gives me the Introduction window with a present location name.  I click Continue.  The "I use AirPort to connect to the Internet wirelessly" radio button has been selected by default. I click Continue.
    I select his wireless network name and put in his password.   The "Ready to Connect" window comes up and it tell me I am ready to connect to his network.  I can see the wireless icon in the upper right corner of my top window pane searching for the signal.  At this point in the past, this is where it has locked onto the signal and given me Internet.   But it gives up after a fews seconds and I get a greyed-out exclamation point.
    I click Continue and I get a new window saying, "Unable to establish a network connection."
    So I don't know what to do.  I use his laptop to connect to the Internet wirelssly without any trouble.  I have tried connecting mine sitting right by the router with no luck.  As I said, in the past, I've had no problems connecting.   As far as I know, nothing is different with my laptop and nothing is different with my Dad's setup.
    Does anyone have any good ideas?  Troubleshooting?   Thanks. 

    Hold down the option key and select the Wi-Fi menu in the menu bar. What values are shown for the following?
    PHY Mode
    Channel
    Security
    Signal/Noise or RSSI
    Transmit Rate
    Please do not post the BSSID, as that information is private.
    Now hold down the option key again and select
     ▹ System Information... ▹ Network ▹ Wi-Fi
    Compare the two-letter Country Code with the ISO code for your country. Does it match? The code X0 means that the country couldn't be determined. The code X3 means South America, not otherwise specified.

  • Why doesn't my macbook air connect with Hitachi projector

    I have a new Macbook air. I have developed a powerpoint presesentation and got the adapter to connect to projector - Hitachi-CPX4015WN.
    ALas, Hitachi does not recognize my computer.

    Hello redffox,
    Congratulations on your new MacBook Air!  I found an article with steps you can take to troubleshoot issues with external displays like your projector.  This article is for internal and external displays, so you can skip any steps referring to the internal display.  I recommend reviewing the section titled "No video or no signal, image distortion, 'snow,' or flickering" in the following article:
