why apple remove personal hotspot in ios 8 on the iPad

I this can be resolved.

Follow the steps:

1. Go to Cellular Data on iPad.

2. Select APN Setting.

3. Under Personal Hotspot enter:

a. Username: (Anything will do)

b. Password: (Anything will do)

4. Hit back Cellular Data button

5. Re enter APN Settings and

6. Boom you should find personal hotspot tab right below Cellular Data again like in iOS 7

Hope this helps.

Great. Thanks

hi,

i did get the "Set Up Personal Hotspot" option after i put something in the APN settings.

however when I try to do the set up, i get an error "To enable Personal Hotspot on this account, contact Carrier"

I am not bound to any carrier, still i get this error.

any idea how to resolve this?

Is your iPad wifi only or does it have cellular capability?

Is there a sim in the iPad?

it is wifi+cellular. ya there is a sim in the iPad.

Are you using a supported wireless provider?

Is your account provisioned for hotspot? Some providers do not

support personal hotspots, and some charge extra for it.

What is the 'something' you put into APN settings? And why did

you put that 'something' in there?

Well i got my iPad in India, Apple sells unlocked versions here. So i am tied with any provider, i can put in any carrier's sim card and it will work.

after upgrading to ios8 the "Personal Hotspot" was not visible. So as you can see in the Discussion above after putting “something” in the Username under APN settings of Personal Hotspot the “Set up Personal Hotspot” menu appeared. However I get the error about the Carrier if I tap on it…. Which does not make sense as I am using a unlocked iPad Air

since I did the same instruction still cannot connect because it doesn't have the icon or button to enable it.. Pleade help..

What is the exact complete wording of the error message you

are receiving? If it tells you to contact your carrier, that means

either your wireless provider does not support hotspot or your

account is not provisioned for hotspot. Both are issues that

can only be resolved by your carrier. Unlocked does not mean

you will get free hotspot if carrier charges for it or even

that the carrier you are attempting to use the iPad with supports

hotspot.

THousands Thanks I really Appreciate ur Help

the exact message is "To enable Personal Hotspot on this account, contact Carrier"

this issue has started online since i upgraded to ios8. i have been using this on all older iOS versions. i never had any issue. i am sure it has nothing to do with the carrier. probably some bug in iOS8 I think.

And what did the Carrier say when you contacted them?

Carriers frequently change their service plans or what they offer.

Your carrier may now be charging for hotspot.

Contact the Carrier as directed by the error message.

Thanks. It worked for me on iPad Air Wifi+3G unit bought in India.

THis answer got my ipad hotspot back!

thank you!
