Activated iPhone 4, but can't get any service...just says "Searching..."

So I purchased an iPhone 4 and activated it with my number. Verizon account says phone is activated with my number, and I set it up with iTunes and all that good stuff. However, I can't get any service at all. The rest of my family all has iPhone 4 and they get 3G coverage in our house no problem, but I can't seem to get service anywhere. I have tried everything in the book; reset network settings, reset all settings on phone, soft reset, updated to newest IOS, dialed *228 and pressed 2 to get new PRL, turned it on and off multiple times, etc . Still can't seem to get service, just keeps saying "Searching.." where the bars should be. Just wondering if there are any other steps I need to take. Appreciate any and all feedback.

Hi Snyder23,
I am sad to hear about the problems with your new iPhone 4! That is a great device. Thanks for all the troubleshooting your have done so far. It appears your phone might be faulty. Are you still within your 14 day Worry Free Guarantee? If so, we can exchange it for another device. If not, you can visit your local Apple store for a hands on evaluation. Keep us posted.
Thanks, BobbyS_VZW

I updated my first generation iPad to version 5.1.1 and won't go past the setup screen that asks if I want to use the iPad locator. I can go back but can't get any further.

I just updated my original iPad 32 GB WiFi to iOS 5.1 about fifteen minutes ago. But I did it with the system restore feature in iTunes. So it wiped out everything on my iPad. But it did work. Then I restored an earlier backup and all went fine. Maybe you could try backing up your iPad and then using Restore to get it back to factory settings to see what happens.

On my Iphone 4, I can not get any response accept the apple logo after recharging for an entire day and trying to connect to iTunes. help?

On my Iphone 4s, I can not get any response accept the apple logo after recharging for an entire day and trying to connect to iTunes. A few days before that the speaker suddenly stopped working during a call. I also reset everything by connecting to itunes but no luck then. help?

Hey there xntricj,
It sounds like you are putting a password for your Apple ID that works without issue on your iPad into your iPhone but get a message saying that the password is incorrect. I recommend the steps from the article named:
iCloud: "Incorrect Apple ID or Password" alert when setting up iCloud after upgrading to iOS 7
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5207
After completing iOS 7 setup, go to Settings > iCloud.
Scroll down and tap Delete Account, then enter your previous Apple ID and password.
If your Apple ID or password are not accepted, follow the steps in iOS 7: If you're asked for your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

I have replaced my ibook hard drive but when I start up I get a folder with a flashing question mark. I have tried installing the OSX disk using the "C" key but can't get any further than the flashing "?." What do I do? What is the problem?

I have replaced my ibook hard drive but when I start up I get a folder with a flashing question mark. I have tried installing the OSX disk using the "C" key but can't get any further than the flashing "?." What do I do? What is the problem?

Which iBook do you have?
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1772?viewlocale=en_US
Which version of the OS is installed, and which version are you trying to install?
You could try starting up with Startup Manager and see if it will allow you to select the OS X install disc as the startup disk. If so, maybe you can proceed from there. I would recommend repairing the hard drive first since you are evidently having a bit of a problem with it.

Where did you get this phone from was it an authorized apple dealer?
Did you activate your phone yet?
Have you contacted your cellular provider about having no network service?

Keep the Powerbutton and the Homebutton pressed at the same time until you see the Apple logo on your iPad screen.

Just activated iphone 4S and can't get new voicemail greeting to take. Old greeting still plays from old phone and that phone still receives voicemail nofications even though it is no longer active. What is going on?

Just activated iphone 4S and can't get new voicemail greeting to override the old greeting. Greeting from previous phone still plays even though a new greeting has been saved to the iphone. Also, the previous phone still receives voicemail nofications even though it is no longer active. What is going on?

We want to make sure that voicemail transition is super smooth SonyBony! Please be aware you must power off the previous device in order for the complete switchover to take place. We recommend leaving the previous device off now that you have activated your new device. Here is a link for additional assistance with voicemail on the iPhone 4s. http://vz.to/1kcyBlo

HT202649 Hello, I just bought a used iPhone 4S but can't get past the ID to continue set up. I went to iforgot as requested to reset my password to my existing account. Still can't get past the ID.

Hello,
I am having setup issues with a used 4S iphone. I can't get past the Apple ID step.
First it said it was an existing ID and I should go to iforgot and reset my password.
I did, but still keep getting the error message.
Then I entered the serial number online support and it said the ID was another account. Would that be the seller?
Do I need to get them to unregister under their name before I can proceed? Or...
Please help. I start new job on Monday that required me to have a smartphone. I need it up and running.
Thank you

Yes, you have encountered Activation Lock (Find My iPhone Activation Lock - Apple Support). The only way that phone will ever be usable is if the owner the phone is locked to releases it (see: Find My iPhone Activation Lock: Removing a device from a previous owner’s account - Apple Support). If you are lucky the phone is locked to the seller, so you can ask them to unlock it. If the seller is merely a middleman and the previous owner is not the seller it gets much more complicated. It's even possible that you bought a stolen phone, in which case you will never be able to use it and you should return it for a refund.

If I bought Iphone in USA, can I get warranty service in UK?

Hi, I bought my Iphone 6 in USA, moved to Argentina, where I have no Apple warranty Service for IPhone. I´m traveling to UK next month. Can I get warranty service In UK for my IPhone? When I get to Genius Bar to get an appointment , I receive a sign saying to try another location. Don´t understand.

According to Apple:
If the product is portable, meaning that it can operate independently without a power cord, you may obtain warranty service worldwide. However, service will be limited to the options available in the country where service is requested

4s can't get any service?

My daughter's 4s won't get data, won't connect to wireless, won't text, won't make calls. Just keeps saying "searching....." in upper left corner. Tried resetting network. Ran through the Troubleshooting Assistant. Any ideas?

I regret to learn of the issues with your daughters phone, Ginny.king! What is your zip code? Is this issue happening with any other phone? It seems like you did your fair of troubleshooting. Lets try to toggle airplane mode off/on. Also what is the software version? Go to settings > general > about and advise what the version is.
Thank you,

Can't restore iphone3gs iTunes asking to enter password on my phone i have forgotten it iTunes is picking up its my phone but can't get any further please help if you can

I have spent so much time trying to restore my I phone 3 as aple sent the link and have logged on connected the phone to itunes but cant go any further as it keeps asking for password any ideas on this problem?

Hello Knoeller13
The way to get passed the passcode is to restore your iPhone. Follow the steps in the article below to put your iPhone into recovery mode and then use iTunes to restore it. If you have a back up within iTunes or iCloud, you can put the back up back on and the passcode does not come back.
iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to shut down.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device.
Regards,
-Norm G.
