iOS 7 usb internet tethering is not working?

Ok.

Open network preferences.

Then select 'Set service order' under the little gear and the down arrow.

Put iPhone USB on top of the others.

Apply.

Work for me.

Before upgrading from 10.7 to Mavericks, when I upgraded to iTunes 11.1.1 it broke again. But yesterday tried after upgrading both my MBP and iPhone5 (to 10.9 and 7.0.3 respectively. iTunes is now 11.1.2) and it worked out of the box!

I think this means Apple has fixed the problem.

To make it clear......still problems when running lion even with itunes 11.1.2

I had to reset the network settings in order for my USB sharing would work. I'm on 7.0.6:

Reset your network settings: Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.

It worked for me Thanks!!!!!

it turns out that you have to have itunes installed for this to work.

I Have the same problem, i just fix it,

go to general -> Cellular data Network on Internet Tethering but the right APN.

hope it's help

I am still having this problem… I don't even have an iPhone USB on the list in Network preferences… Did a Network reset on my iPhone 4 but still…

Hi I have fixed this problem on my machine.

1. Go to 'Device Manager'

2. Find 'Portable Devices' and un-install 'Apple iPhone'

3. Reconnect iphone using USB

After I did this the my computer automatically re-installed the necessary drivers.

Im using/have:

Windows 8.1

iPhone 5S (iOS 8.2)

I thought after so many complaints that Apple would actually do something about this issue, but nearly 2 years later, NO. I made the mistake of updating my iPhone 5 a few days ago, and have just spent the last couple of hours fixing Apple's indifference.

I have an Apple phone and and Apple computer, so surely there should be no problem.

(I have an iPhone 5 and the issue has arisen twice after updating iOS later than 7.0.

SOLUTION: for me is an app called KEXT UTILITY to fix AppleUSBEthernetHost.Kext file.

Google those items to find the right file, or use Time Machine to find the working file from your old system on your Mac (before you updated your phone).

Good luck to every disgruntled Apple user.

I resolved this by updating the PC to the latest version of iTunes. Presumably it updated the drivers on the PC for the more recent iOS. Now USB Hotspot works everytime again.
