Can't use Personal Hotspot through USB?
It all started yesterday, while I'm browsing the internet using Personal Hotspot connected through USB, suddenly my connection went out. I checked my Iphone, I still have my 3G connection on my phone but the blue bar that saying "Personal Hotspot: 1 connection" saw gone. I didn't modify anything on my iphone neither on my macbook (i didn't update anything). When I tried opening itunes, it says "An unknown error occurred (-42408).
I can connect through Wi-Fi somehow, but most of the time my macbook can't detect my iphone.
And when I try connecting through bluetooth, my iphone says "connection unsuccessful: make sure "the macbook" is turned on and in range" even tough my macbook's bluetooth is already "on" and my iphone is just beside my macbook.
Is there anybody else who has the same problem as mine? Thanks guys.
Sorry for my grammar.

Some carriers don't want people to use the Personal Hotspot feature of the iPhone, you (or your mom) could contact the carrier by finding their phone number and ask them why can't you use it
- Will I be able to use my mobile as a personal hotspot? I'm with optus and have unlimited internet… Just wondering if personal hotspot will work on my iphone? Its not coming up on my phone it's just saying carrier, bluetooth etcetera. Please only people from australia. ps I only just set up my prepaid plan but its working fine on my phone?
- My iPhone personal hotspot network is really slow when I use it on my mac computer? How can I make it faster? I'm connecting them via Wi-Fi. Will doing it through USB make it faster? How do I do it through a USB cable?
- If I use personal hotspot on iPhone, will it use my Wi-Fi or data plan? There are 2 computers in my house. One of them won't connect to the router. So I figure while my iPhone has Wi-Fi access, I can turn on personal hotspot and make the computer connect to the iPhones personal hotspot
- How much data does personal hotspot on iPhone use? I have a iPhone 4S and were going to the beach. And I want to use my MacBook Pro while we're going but I won't have a Internet connection. So I found out I can use personal hotspot. But how much data does it use? Is it the same as it would be if I used my iPhone?
