I updated my iPhone 5 to iOS 7 but now its not tethering using USB connection. I am using MAC OS X Lion 10.7.5 and iTunes 11.1. Tethering using Wi-Fi is fine.

I am having that problem too. Another problem that I noticed is that personal hotspot thru wifi works but I often loose internet connection on my MacBook Pro even though I am still connected to my hotspot and I can load websites in my iPhone. I'm also using OS X Lion 10.7.5 and iTunes 11. I already did every troubleshooting procedures that I can find but nothing helps. I've been searching the internet about this issue since the other day without luck. Good to see your post, I am not alone. I hope Apple will be able to hear our concern. Apple please fix this. Thanks

I haven't upgraded my iPhone 4S yet to iOS7 but I got the same issue when I updated to iTunes 11.1. Based on the other community threads going on this topic, the problem seems to be with the iTunes 11.1 update. I have tried most of the recommended workarounds but nothing has fixed the problem for me yet.

Thanks for the info Nick. Good to know it is not about iOS 7. iTunes is easier and faster to update than iOS 🙂

I now have this exact same problem. Can't tether with iPhone5 USB right after updating my Macbook Air to iTunes 11.1. Apple please fix this.

Hi, I'm form Italy. I updated yesterday both the iphone to 10s 7 and iTunes to 11.1 version, then I had the same problem of tethering...My MAc (using OS X Lion 10.7.5) doesn't tethers by usb; also the connection by wifi is unstable. I've red that the problem is caused by the last updating of iTunes...Please let me know if you find some solution to the problem...I hope Apple solve that too as sson as possible. "Ciao" to all of you

Hi, I have too the same problem... Now I can use the Personal Hotspot just in "wifi" mode, but, as you know, this way consume a lot of battery and it's less stable.

I use Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5, iTunes 11.1 and iPhone 5 with iOS 7.

I hope Apple can find a smart and fast solution.

Another one here, USB tethering quit working but wifi tethering works fine.

Tested with a iPhone 5 (T-Mobile) and iPad 3 (Verizon), both with iOS 7.0, iTunes 11.1, and Mac OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard.

I tried deleting the interfaces in OSX, resetting the network settings in iOS, and no success.

Another similar one here. I've updated ios7 and usb tethering doesn't work. I use it at my office connecting to a XP machine. It connects, iphone asks me to 'trust' the computer (which I do) and the driver is installed. However the connection shows a status of 'LAN Cable disconnected'.

However the version of itunes on the machine is a versions back (I don't use itunes on that machine).

Because the usb tethering is a universal network driver connection then it should still work on any machine even if there is no itunes installed (i.e. as long as hotspot is enabled).

looking at other forums it appears this is very much ios7 related. Was working perfectly on ios6.

I am also using the latest itunes and also iphone 5 cant seem to connect to the internet via USB, wifi is alright but unstable. any updates from apple?

I'm having the same issue "Apple please fix"

Got the same prob here! okay with wifi tethering but rubbish on usb tethering.

I use iPhone 5 running iOS 7, iTunes 11.1 and MacBook Air running Mac OS X v.10.7.5.

I have reset network settings on the iPhone but to no avail.

Not to sound boring but same deal here - latest itunes, latest ios and lastest os x update, bluetooth/wi-fi perfect, but via USB - NOTHING !!

same but different

before ios7 update on phone and iTunes update on iMac hotspot only worked with USB connection

both wifi and Bluetooth were super buggy, as USB worked I left it alone

after updating my 5 to ios7 the above still held true

after updating the iMac to new iTunes along with security and airport utility update the USB connection stopped working

but now the Bluetooth connection seems to work well enough, and wifi still fails

spent a few hours on phone with apple tech going through all the restart/reboot sequences with no results

this is like a good relationship slowly going bad as I'm about to start looking around

I'm talking to you apple..

(small screen, stale form, half baked at best ios7 graphic and color package, and now weird technical issues)

41 meg camera is looking pretty good to me right now..
