ios 8 USB tethering not Working

Las time I looked on the ATT site at the features in my rate plan, I noticed that they had started to charge for "tethering" -perhaps you should give them a call and see if your plan is the issue...

Hello I have the same problem. With my iphone 5S tethering is not working anymore. Moreover the icon of "personal hotspot" disappeared. Now I have 8.0.2 but still been the same.

Airdrop is not working either. My iPad mini and iphone 5S have been paired before but now they no longer recognise each other, always complaining that the other device is not in the range.

My phone operator supports tethering and have been using this feature before these updates.

It seems that I am not the only one to have this problem. I have been reading several complains.

I really appreciate any information or clue.

Yep the same here.. sort of.. 5S running 7.1.2 (11D257) tethers to the router ok but the ipad4 8.0.2 (12A405) refuses to work.. Before upgrade the ipad was happy to.

What has Apple changed in the code. Im certainly not moving the iphone to iso8 until the ipad can connect again. If I'm going to loose total connectivity i guess I'm going to loose out on all the fun stuff the ios8 brings!

So no updates? Are we still stuck not being able to USB tether our devices?

😟 Still nothing.. Was hoping the latest update it 8.1.3 would bring back the ability to USB tether to my router.. It certainly seems like Apple are making it a permanent feature.

Hi everybody,

same issue here. Tethering routing does not work via USB, after updating to iOS 8.1.3

No issue via WIFI.

I'll open a ticket on Apple support issue tracker.

Thanks

manfros, did Apple support help? I saw now update to this posting.

So, How´s it going with that ticket of yours?

Updated to 8.3 and the USB-tethering died for me aswell (with mac OS 10.10.5)

I experienced the same issue. My iPhone suddenly stopped supporting USB tethering. I'm so troubled because that's my fastest way to connect to internet. Now, I'm unable to connect it. Anybody has got any solutions, please respond.

Same situation with me for USB tethering. I have an iPhone 6 (iOS 8.4.1) connected to my MacBook Pro (10.10.5). When connected using USB, the phone is recognized and syncs with iTunes, but does not show up as "iPhone USB" in my network connections.

I can connect to it via WiFi...so it is working, but alas not as before.

Nothing has changed for me.. Still have the iphone running iOS 7.1.2 as I don't want to loose the tethering ability.. Ipad is running iOS 9.01 so it's looking like the fun police have moved in, out, burnt the building down and not looking back.

Hopefully there will be a firmware up for the router (although they aren't on the nice list with Apple).

Here's an update in my case...

I was reading the form here:

http://forums.macrumors.com/threads/itunes-12-3-breaks-iphone-tethering-over-usb .1917136/

and re-installed iTunes 12.3 from http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ and installed it on top of the existing 12.3 version I already had. No loss or mess up on iTunes. I also ran the elevated Terminal command:

sudo nvram boot-args=kext-dev-mode=1

Rebooted my MacBook Pro (10.10.5) and connected my iPhone 6 (8.4.1) and iPhone USB now works under my network connections.
