Unable to connect my iPhone hotspot 5S for my computer in Windows 8.

My iphone 5 s personal hotspot (wifi) can not connect to my computer laptop under windows 8 System. I bring my iphone & lap top to Apple Service Center. Apple uses a lot of iphone 5 & iphone 5 s personal hotspot also failed to connect to the wifi of my lap top. Apple has also to restore my iphone setting also can not connect. Apple take my iphone to connect another laptop or a PC with windows XP is no problem, cannot connect to wifi. After Apple said that is Windows 8 can not confrigration with the iphone. Ask me to contact Microsoft. Help, please.

My version of the software: iOS 7.1.2 iPhone5 and Win 8.1 on Lenovo

Today I feel like a genius. I've been struggling with this problem for over 4 months and none of the forums on MS or Apple have this properly resolved. The resolution I found is quite simple and stupid:

On your iPhone, go to settings-> General-> about-> name

Make sure the name of your phone is not a single word with number of the apostrophe or special characters. Make sure NO SPACES.

If you change the name on the phone, just disable the personal Hotspot and turn it back on. Go to your laptop and now connect to the Hotspot IPhone with the new name.

I wonder why Win8.1 is unable to use a device name that includes spaces. It is pretty stupid IMHO.

  • I can't find Windows Defender under my services for my computer laptop windows 7.

    * Original title: Windows Defender

    I can't find Windows Defender under my services for my computer laptop windows 7.

    (Moved to repair and recovery)

    Hello

    Windows Defender on Windows 7 is only antispyware. It has disabled (to avoid potential conflicts) during the installation of various programs of anti-malware to include (but not necessarily limited to) AVG, McAfee, MSE and Norton.

    So, probably your antivirus product has disabled Windows Defender. If so, you should not try to turn on WD.

    See you soon,.

  • Unable to connect the iPhone to my work 6 to 2 (portable) via Bluetooth.

    Hello.

    I had the two work 15 "MacBook Pro (retina, early 2013) Mac OS X v10.10.5/Yosemite) and 64 bit W7 EE SP1 to a Thinkpad Lenovo W530 to pair with the iPhone to work 6 (iOS v9.3), but they do not connect. The iOS from iPhone Bluetooth said no "connected". I want to just copy my files between each image.

    Connection of Mac OS x before trying again to 64 bit W7. If I click on the name of his MacBook, it said "unsuccessful connection - make sure that 'computername' is active and within reach. Mac OS X says 'Not connected' to 'iPhone 6"working device. Double-click on "network is unavailable. Make sure that network access is enabled.

    W7 64 bit, I say its Bluetooth and find matching the iPhone detected 6. I see the iOS device. Yet once, "not connected".  HOWEVER, it says "Connection failed"ComputerName"is not supported." and forget this device. WHY?

    Why orders wireless is so difficult? USB cable was easy.

    Thank you in advance.

    This has never been a feature of the iPhone/ipad/ipod

    I'm sorry.

    Bluetooth is supported for hands-free phone features, speakers/headphones, some keyboards a few apps from the app store and the interest of home - if it is provided by the carrier.

    It doesn't connect to other phones, computers
