Even though my PC does connect with the personal hotspot set up on my iPhone 4 updated to IOS 6, it is not working with my iPad 2. I did upgrade my iPad 2 to IOS 6 before connecting to personal hotspot. What troubleshooting steps should I take to resolve this issue?
How To Connect Your IPad To IPhone Personal Hotspot?
Aug 8, 2012
I use my iPhone 4S for creating a personal Wi-Fi hotpot in my home and connect my MAC to it. My dad recently bought a iPad. How can I connect this iPad with the Personal Wi-Fi hotspot created from my iPhone 4S
My iPad won't connect to iPhone 4 Personal Hotspot, unless the personal hotspot settings screen is open and showing on the phone. Is this normal? Because it's pretty annoying.
The phone is set to have personal hotspot ON all the time, the iPad can see it, but I get errors trying to connect to it if the setting screen isn't open. Surely this cannot be the way it was designed?
IPad 3 :: Losing Personal Hotspot Connection To IPhone 4
Jan 16, 2013
I use my iphone4 as a personal hotspot to connect my ipad3 to the internet. The problem is that I lose the connection regularly. The ipad then cant find my iphone as a possible wifi connection and the only way I can get it back is to go back to settings in the iphone, go to personal hotspot and turn it off and then back on again.
I expected iOS 4.3 or the iPad 2 to bring the personal hotspot feature to the iPad but was surprised to see it's limited only to the iPhone 4. Why is that? AT&T and Verizon only stand to gain if people feel an incentive to get an iPad data plan (plus the hotspot service). As much as the Apple ecosystem works smoothly, not all iPad owners have an iPhone 4 and will use it to tether their iPads to the internet.
I have iPad 3 (wifi + cellular), and there is no Personal Hotspot function, even in Network settings. I was at local authorized distributors/resllers and my carrier providers noticed, that everytime APN "internet tethering" settings are set, once I quit them, they automatically disappears. Futhermore my cellular data provide (Omnitel) allows me to tether intrenet on other devices.
I have the new iPad 4g model and I wanted to turn it into a hotspot...but I do not have a button for it under General>Network, nor under the main menu. I looked it up online, but no one has this problem. I tried resetting network settings but nothing changed.!
how I can open a personal hotspot from my iPad 3? I have 3G up and running on the device but all the screen shots and instructions I can find are for the iPhone?
