Using an I Phone as a hotspot

When I tried to tether the I phone I tunes and an error message came up saying there was an IP address conflict. When I tried to update in I tunes it would not let me.

When I right click on my I pnone there is no prompt for delete.

Tether it to the computer. It will keep the phone charged and you won't have any WIFI interference or anyone else trying to use it. Turn on "Personnel Hot Spot", open your web browser, plug into any USB port. On your phone, "Trust This Computer?" will pop up, select "Trust". Select "IPhone" in your available networks. No codes to enter.

Do they each have different SSID's (connection names)?

Does your laptop see your iphone hotspot but won't connect?

If so, try deleting the connection on your laptop (right click on the iphone hotspot name and click delete), then refresh your connections and try again.

It should now come up and ask for your hotspot's password. After it connects once, it will remember the password.
