Re: Hotspotting.

[Anthony (Tony) Francis]

Hi Ronni

Sorry for the late reply, I was phone less for two days, don’t ask. 
Yep,can’t always believe the packaging Ronni, but problem solved, I'm using the 
Samsung Phone with my iPhone Sim Card in it, working well, at least until I can 
resolve the problem with the Nighthawk. Now I just have to sort out Telstra via 
the Ombudsman.

Cheers Ronni as always

Kindest Regards

Tony

Hello Rosemary,

What troubleshooting have you tried so far?
Have you done a SMC & PRAM reset? 
Does it happen in Safe Mode?
Does Apple Diagnostic find anything?
Have you run EtreCheckPro.app? You have had Adware before… and you run some 
third party software.
https://etrecheck.com/maspro 
EtreCheckPro 


Follow these instructions for resetting the PRAM/NVRAM:
Reset NVRAM or PRAM on your Mac - Apple Support 

Follow these instructions for resetting the SMC:
How to reset the System Management Controller (SMC) on your Mac - Apple Support 

*Note* For the SMC, follow the instructions under "How to reset the SMC on Mac 
notebooks", and the sub-section "If the battery is non removable"
--
Using Apple Diagnostics:

Step 1. Shut Down Completely
To begin, you’ll need to make sure your Mac is fully turned off—not simply 
asleep. Turn your computer off completely by clicking the Apple icon in the top 
left of your screen and selecting the Shut Down option.

Step 2. Boot Into Apple Diagnostics
To access Apple Diagnostics, press the power button to boot your Mac and then 
immediately press and hold the D key on your keyboard.
Tip: If you have moved your Recovery Partition to an external drive, make sure 
it is connected before you follow the steps.
Connect to the Internet to allow Apple Diagnostics to offer suggestions.

Step 3. Wait for Testing to Complete
Unlike AHT, Apple Diagnostics does not offer any options—there’s only one 
version of the test and it takes about five minutes to complete.

Step 4. Interpret the Results
Unlike the hideous codes offered by AHT, Apple Diagnostics attempts to make the 
information more useful to normal users.

Once your test has completed, you’ll either see a simple No issues found 
message, or you’ll see a screen with the problems listed. Each problem is 
described in simple terms like 
There may be an issue with the onboard memory, and alongside the message you’ll 
see a code that you can give to Apple Support that will help them identify the 
issue.

Important: Don’t forget to make a note of these error codes before proceeding 
any further!

To help you handle the issue, Apple Diagnostics can take you into Recovery Mode 
if you click Get started; this will restart your computer and bring up Safari 
to direct you to the appropriate Support options.


Cheers,
Ronni

Hi Severin,
That is the iPad mini not iPad mini 2 - support ended September 12, 2016.

The resetting the Network settings should have helped sort the internet problem 
I would have thought.

Hi Dad, can you confirm the exact model code for the iPad? Maybe it’s an iPad 
Mini original first series?
