Hi cedars101,


Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. We can see that you'd like to connect your Mac to your iPhone Personal Hotspot. Check out the links below.


Use an iPhone or iPad to connect your Mac to the internet


Use Instant Hotspot to connect to your Personal Hotspot without entering a password


If you've never set up Personal Hotspot on your device before, How to set up a Personal Hotspot on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support can help walk you through the process. Depending on which route you'd like to take, you can connect your laptop to your iPhone Personal Hotspot using Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or USB. This can be found under the section titled "Connect to Personal Hotspot with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or USB".


If you run into any issues trying to connect to your Personal Hotspot, there are a few steps that you can take that are found in: If Personal Hotspot is not working on your iPhone or iPad (Wi-Fi + Cellular) - Apple Support


We'll leave some general steps found in that article here:


Use these steps first

Try connecting again after each step.

1.Check that Personal Hotspot is turned on in Settings > Personal Hotspot. If you can't find or turn on Personal Hotspot, check that your wireless carrier enabled it and that your wireless plan supports it.
2.Restart the iPhone or iPad that provides Personal Hotspot and the other device that needs to connect to Personal Hotspot. 
3.Make sure that you have the latest version of iOS or iPadOS.
4.On the iPhone or iPad that provides Personal Hotspot, go to Settings > General > Transfer or Reset [Device] > Reset, then tap Reset Network Settings.


Regards.
