Thanks much! I had done the power down reset several times.

Noticed that WiFi was turned "off" in SETTINGS and turned it on and voila!

Apparently updating software and restarting iPhone turned it off. It says "not connected" but I guess it has to be on for Personal Hotspot to work.


Thanks again!

Troubleshooting Personal Hotspot:


A. Start Here: If Personal Hotspot is not working on your iPhone or iPad (Wi-Fi + Cellular) - Apple Support


What else to try...

B. Reset Location & Privacy Settings:

It will reset its prompting for computer, prompting you once more, hopefully not going through a loop this time.

  1. Go To: Settings
  2. Tap: General
  3. Tap: Reset
  4. Enter: your Passcode
  5. Tap: Reset
