I have to turn my iPhone Personal Hotspot off and then back on for it to show up on Macbook Pro to tether. I didn't used to, it used to appear straight away if it was on
I think the issue may have occurred after I plugged in my wife's iPhone via USB to use her tethering once. I have cleared all other similar tether networks, placed my iPhone as the first preferred network. Reset network setting on my iPhone.
Any other ideas?
iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
Try again after each step.
- Check that Personal Hotspot is turned on. There are two places to look: Check in Settings > Personal Hotspot. Then check in Settings > Cellular > Personal Hotspot. If you can't find or turn on Personal Hotspot, check that your wireless carrier enabled it and that your wireless plan supports it.
- Switch Internet connections. For example, switch from a Wi-Fi connection to Bluetooth or USB.
- Restart the iPhone or iPad that provides Personal Hotspot. Then restart your other device.
- Make sure that you have the latest version of iOS on your iPhone or iPad and your other device.
- On the iPhone or iPad that provides Personal Hotspot, go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
