Dear All,
I have just upgraded my iPhone to iPhone13 iOS 16.2.
My old MacBook Pro (13", early 2011) is running High Sierra 10.13.6.
While the Mac connects to iPhone via USB cable with no problems, I am not able to connect the 2 devices using wireless or bluetooth.
Any idea please?
Thanks
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.13

Hi BDAqua,
thanks a lot for your help.
I turned on "Maximize Compatibility" and everything works fine now.
Good work my friend, take care! :)
Hi BDAqua,
unfortunately another issue came up.
If I take my phone away from my Mac, the wireless connection stops working and it won't connect again unless I restart the Mac.
Instead of joining your Network from the list, click the WiFi icon at the top, and click join other network. Fill in everything as needed.
Hi BDAqua,
yes it works.
But I wonder if there is a way to avoid to fill manually all the fields every time I need to use the connection with my iPhone.
Try this...
System Preferences>Network>Wi-Fi>Advanced>Wi-Fi, delete any there or drag the good one to the top & check remember Networks
Hi BDAqua,
I have done it, but it still doesn't work. Simply the iPhone hotspot doesn't appear on the networks available
Most phones have a setting on them to advertise the Hot Sport or not, is it set to advertise it's name?
I'm sorry BDAqua but I don't understand what you mean!
MacOS High Sierra doesn't connect to iPhone hotspot using wifi or bluetooth
