iPhone WiFi hotspot not always recognized

Sometimes, my MacBook Air recognizes my iPhone as a hotspot 5SE, sometimes he recognizes it, then rejects it, and sometimes it doesn't recognize at all.

It seems that I have to toggle the settings > cellular > Personal Hotspot several times before I can get my MacBook Air (10.10.5) to recognize my iPhone, keep the connection.

Hello Mel Magree,.
Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

If I understand your message your iPhone 5s is not always recognised by MacBook Air. I know how it is important for you to be able to use the hotspot on your iPhone 5s feature. In this situation I recommend to use the steps in the following article:

  • Phoenix 850-150qe: peripheral disks connected West not always recognized by the new computer

    I have two Western peripheral connected to my computer.  I store all my backups picures and Painter on these two devices.  When I first boot my computer into the AM sometimes readers are recognized and other times they are not.  I can't understand why this happens.  On my old computer also running windows 10 my discs were always recognized.  On this computer when the error occurs, I have to go into the Device Manager and find readers and indicate the update drivers in order to make them work.  Both drives work fine until I turned off the computer during the evening and restart the morning.  Other times, that my devices are recognized all away without me having to do something for them.  Has anyone else encountered this problem?

    I have solved my problem.  I had problems with my computer last week not to open some programs installed HP and spent two hours on the phone with a HP technician.  During this time the technician has literally on my computer to see what was going on.  The technician had crossed and disabled all of my menus start to see if it would solve my problem.  A disabled element is the WD disk start up, so I have now enabled it and so far it seems to work.      The technician explained that they met some problems with windows 10 and how it interacts with the computer.  This new computer came with windows installed 10 while my old computer has been updated to 8.1 to 10 and I don't have the problems that I'm having now.

  • HP Envy 4500: HP Envy 4500 printer and access Wifi University / iPhone Wifi Hotspot

    I have a HP Envy 4500 home and signed up for the moment of ink.  Works very well and I was hoping for a similar arrangement for my daughter who has just started at the University.  It seems that there are problems with the HP Envy 4500 connection to University share wireless networks.  I was wondering if the following scenario would work:

    1. his computer is connected to the printer via the USB port
    2. the printer is connected to a hotspot wifi on iPhone (his phone is already connected to wifi University)

    This work of the printer relay information support to HP for the purpose of instant ink?

    Thank you very much

    It worked so might be a good work around.

    Thank you

  • Changes Made in not always recognized in LR3 PS5

    I use LR 3.0, PS5 on a Mac Pro 2.66 16 GB Ram running OS X10.6.4

    Lately, I've noticed that when I did a LR image using Photoshop, sometimes when I close and save and return to LR, some of these changes, I applied the PSD file appear not in LR. But if I export the file the changes are there. Or if I open the file again and choose 'Edit a copy with LR adjustments' the changes are there and if I save this second copy, the changes appear even in LR. It's as if LR fails to update the preview of the image after that I have work on the file in PS.

    Please note:

    • I've been editing files from LR to PS for years. It is part of the abnormal in my workflow and I naver had such problem.

    • This odd beahvior does not happen with all the files.

    • My file naming is very regular, and does not include spaces or strange characters. Is an example of my file names: '20100723_egg_001.CR2 '.

    I was able to reproduce the problem as follows:

    I imported a file from Canon 1Ds MKIII
    -apply basic LR settings
    -Open in PS5 from LR (command - E)
    -It opens in a 16-bit PSD RGB Profoto
    -J' applied the curves adjustment layer
    -J' applied the hue/saturation adjustment layer
    -J' hit save (command-S) and saw the miniature updated in LR. So far so good.
    - Then I changed the mask in the Hue/Saturation layer on black (to cancel the effect)
    -Hit save again. No updates happening in LR.
    -Created a new layer and painted on a blue line.
    -Hit save again. No updates happening in LR.
    -Close the file in PS.
    -Tile in LR is glued to watch in the first record I've done.
    BUT
    -If I open the file to LR to PS5 once again, changes and the layers are all there.
    OR
    -If I export the file, it exports correctly with the latest updates and changes I made in PS5.

    Does anyone know what could go wrong?

    Thank you

    FYI, I clear the cache and has not solved the problem.

    The cache of ACR, which preferences in Lightroom, you can clear isn't the same cache which speaks of Dorin. He speaks of the glimpses that are stored in a filefolder right along your catalog file. If you remove that, Lightroom is forced to rebuild previews of all your images.

    However, I noticed that you use the psd. It was reported some strange behavior in LR 3 with psd files. I would try to set the preference in Lightroom for external editing in photoshop to TIFF (now the default). This gives you even better compatibility.

  • XP SP3 laptop computer connects to various WiFi hotspots but not to an individual.

    Just upgraded to Verizon MiFi 2200 MiFi 4620 the personal hotspot.  Our other Office XP SP3 computer, a Windows 7 laptop and Tablet Android ASUS everything automatically detected and entering the network key/password, all connected to the hotspot and the WWW.

    Fortunately, the XP SP3 laptop connects to other WiFi hotspots and will always connect to the MiFi 2200 old if it is powered even if, of course, he cannot access the WWW, because Verizon's network no longer recognizes the 2200 due service is transferred to the new 4620 MiFi.

    The XP SP3 laptop detects the new hotspot very well.  The command 'View available wireless networks' shows the new hotspot, but when 'Connect' is attempted he goes just in the cycle to appear in the connection, but returned eventually to view available wireless networks.  The 'Connect' button is available, implying that it would connect so click on new.

    Use the same settings (SSID, password, encryption, etc) for the device problem than others who work as they should.  It seems to be an incorrect setting or adjustment in the laptop but I can not understand that one.  I compared the services running on two XP machines and have found no obvious inadequacy.

    Advice?

    Thank you!

    When you say that the new device has the same encryption, do you mean that you know that both old and new devices use the same type of encryption (for example, WPA2, WPA, WPA-TKIP, etc.)?

    I noticed the following two statements in the Guide of the user for the MiFi 4620 L (page 30)

    • WPA/WPA2 Personal joint (safer, less compatible with older devices)
    • IMPORTANT you must use the profile secured with WPA/WPA2 Personal Mode security settings mixed when possible.

    Suggesting that the MiFi 4620 can by default that set... and that the hardware in your computer laptop problem is one of the 'old' devices that is not compatible with this setting.

    Just as an experiment, temporarily configure the MiFi to 'Open' (see pages 30 et seq.) and see if your laptop can connect.

  • Meeting place 11 not be able to use iPhone Personal Hotspot

    We have several 11 7130 place devices that we evaluate before deciding if we want to buy for all remote users.  None of them were able to use an iPhone 5 Personal hotspot as a connection to the internet.  The hotspot indicates a connection available.  The Tablet connects. The hotspot indicates briefly as a fully connected. But trying to go to the Internet in Internet Explorer, you get the page not found.  Weather app of TheTablet says offline.  Anything that requires access to the internet will not work.  When you go to settings and look for the WifI, hotspot persnoal connection status says 'limited '.  The iPhone shows that Personal Hotspot has 1 connection.

    We tried several iPhones on several tablets and they do not work.  Is this a known issue?  I can't imagine being the only one with a problem like that, is not a defect in a single machine.  and a question like this would be a big obstacle to the acceptance of this tablet as a viable mobile device.

    Connection via Bluetooth to iPhone has the same problem as well, shows they are connected, but no internet access is available.

    It seems to be caused by a low-power wireless adapter.  The default settings on the place of the 11 sessions must be changed in Power Options.

    • Go to control panel > Power Options.
    • In the Power Options screen, click on the plan for the Dell Power Plan settings.
    • On the screen change Plan settings click on change advanced power settings.
    • In the advanced power settings screen, click on the + sign next to the wireless adapter settings.  Then the sign for the power saving Mode.  The battery is probably average energy saving.
    • Change for maximum Performance.  If the parameter Plugged In is not at maximum Performance, you must change this one as well.

    According to the power Plan that you are running, you may need to change the settings for the Power Saver Power Plan as well.  Same steps apply as noted above.

    Try opening the iPhone before connecting to Windows. If the film is not empty, then the device should be listed in Windows Explorer. If it still does not show try to restart the computer and the device, and then try again. If it does not show more in iTunes then try iOS device is not showing in iTunes for Windows.

    I use iMessage to the text of my Macbook. For some reason, it will not let me send a text message to a particular group (everyone has iMessage/iPhones) to my computer, but works well on my iPhone. All messages always appear on my Macbook iMessage, but when I click in the conversation, no text box for me to write as he does with everyone. It's driving me crazy. How should I do? The two contacts are in my address book and identified on my computer but I can't their message from my computer and have to keep spending on my phone to text their return. Their new messages are always also highlighted on my computer. In the photo I've included, you can see there is no text box for the text of the group with "Franny, dad."

    Thanks for any help!

    I just bought an Iphone 6s and not yet am possession of en from the Sim Card. Ook, do you know if I can use the phone including applications via Wifi and put the chip later? Thank you. Renault JL

    No, because if you bought a new iPhone, then you need a SIM card to activate it before you can use the wifi applications.

    This is a phone after all, you don't need a sim card any to be able to activate it.

    My iPhone freeze with grey screen, then restart only. Subsequently the Wifi is not available, I have to finish manually restart to be able to use the Wifi. I have restart my internet and network settings, but the problem is still there.

    Hi there Turco911,

    Looks like your screen goes gray and then shuts down its own, and you must manually restart to get the wifi to work again. I save your device in iTunes, then restore it like new and verify that it works.

    How to clear your iOS device and then set up as a new device or restore from backups

    If this is the case, restore your backup either check it still works and just reinstalled software or circumvent the problem in the backup file itself.

    If when restored like new the problem persists, I would ask for your phone service:
