remote hotspot failure unable to start personal hotspot

I resolved this with my cellphone provider (Verzion). Check with provider for account being blocked for this feature.

i Also learned that because Verizon uses CDMA for the older iPhones you cannot be tethered to LTE/data and also talk on the phone! VERY FRUSTRATING. They claim 6s use some other card and can be used at same time for hotspot and phone calls.

On iOS 10.2.1 I have no Settings>iCloud>Apple ID. And no Apple ID if I try Settings>iCloud>iCloud Drive. The ID at www.iCloud.com and on my iPhone are identical, letter for letter including capitalization.

Why don't "we" recognize the solution? I guess it we have become leery of making setting changes. I went down many paths until I finally reset network settings. Night and day difference.

Given the huge memories of our devices, we forget the bad old days of memory fragmentation. As the size of the memory pieces gets smaller, it takes longer and longer to move them around so that we can find the size we needed.

Now if I could find a simple solution to being signed into Apple.com but not being signed into communities:(

The "reset network" solution didn't last long. I reset it twice already today.

On my MacBook Air I am given a long list of neighbors' wi-fi addresses, but not that of my iPhone right next to my laptop. I had a connection about an hour ago and then moved around the house with my iPhone. When I came back to my sleeping MacBook, it recognized neighbors' wi-fi addresses but not my iPhone.

I got a connection after some minutes of toggling Cellular Data and Personal Hotspot.

Interestingly, I just woke up my iPad, clicked Settings>Wi-Fi and was connected right away.

Fragmentation probably isn't the problem. I have about 45GB available on my iPhone.

I wonder how things might work if I put my MacBook, iPad, and iPhone to sleep, and then try putting the iPad online first.

Be back soon, I hope.

Could iOS 10.2.1 be worse on this problem than whatever I had before. I think it was just last week that my iPhone was updated at a coffee shop.

I turned all my devices off and then back on. In two tries of turning Cellular and Personal Hotspot on I had my MacBook and iPad connected.

What will happen this evening, tomorrow, and the day after? I wish I could say that I'll get a fast connection each time.

Think I found a solution : I changed the name of my iPhone in settings, and it seems that it is working now.

I can't connect my iPad to iphone6, both are on iOS 8. Get a message "Remote Hotspot Failure". Apple fix it pls!

Thanks. In summary:

1. Turn on iCloud Keychain on phone
2. approve from ipad
3. done, ready to connect to 'disabled' hotspot

I am having the exact same issue. it will not connect at all

iamjedi: I have your exact setup and the same exact problem.

Try enabling iCloud Keychain on both mobile device and Mac.

This worked for me to.

here on how to fix
