Iphone 3gs ios 6.0.1 keeps switching off when trying to use cellular data

Hi everybody
bought an used iphone 3gs a few days ago, the guy gave it updated to ios 6.0.1. I noticed as i put the phone on cellular data it switches off. and when turned on it comes till the unloack screen, and as i try to unlock it switches off again.
Read a few threads and removed sim put the charger on and started and it starts and works like an ipod with no issues. After a while if i put the sim card and if its on charge it will work perfect with no problems.
As i remove it from charge works until the battery level comes to approx 60 % and then turns off.
Then i must again put it on charge , not because the battery is low but to start the phone.
i have no idea whats goig on, first t ime apple usr and such horrible experience, any ideas?
P.S - read many threads saying toggling on /off for cellular data. I cant do it without sim as i am on 6.0.1 .
Please help phones really not doing what its supposed to. just switches off anywhere in meetings or on the go when i need to make calls.
Thanks

Why my iPad 3 calendar on iOS 5.1.1. keeps shutting off, when trying to open it?

Hi!
I noticed that other had a same kind of a problem, but in my case I can't open the calendar even for a peek... I´ve deleted an event from 1th of April, but still the same problem! I used iCloud for that one. This is a very disturbing problem, due to all important marks are now only visible from iCloud...

I have an old iPhone 3Gs with software version 4.3.5, I am trying to use it again, and it works fine, but I have not been able to update the software. Every time I try, I get the following message:
"there was a problem downloading the software for the iPhone, the network connection could not be established". This happens even though I have a working internet connection.
Besides that, all the other functions work properly, even synchronize apps and library.
Will I be able to update the software?

look around the forum tons of people repport that they can't update
makes you suspect that apples update servers can't meet the depand of too many users

Double click home button, then swipe up on app picture (not the icon itself)

Can't downgrade on iOS ...
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings

IPad 4 switches off when i am using it, even when battery is fully charged. Restore function (holding down both buttons) often does not work. Cannot power up iPad. I have updated software, restarted computer, but no success. Please help

IPad 4 switches off when i am using it, even when battery is fully charged. Restore function (holding down both buttons) often does not work. Cannot power up iPad. I have updated software, restarted computer, but no success. I did restore the iPad about 8 times during the past 2 weeks. Just completed another restore. iTunes says the the iPad has been restored and will restart automatically and appear in iTunes when it is ready. That was 30 minutes ago. iPad still won't start. I am looking down the barrel of yet another fruitless restore. What a crap product.

Try a reset:
Hold the Sleep and Home button down until you see the Apple logo.

My ipad is working very slow touch screen is not wokring perfectly and apps keep switching off when i play

IPad Mini, 64GB, IOS 8.1.
My IPad is working very slow.
The touch screen is not working as good.
Many problems when i play a game ( Real Racing 3) keeps on turning off when i play.
Camera is also blurry.
Screen sometimes goes blank.

Try these basic troubleshooting steps.
Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History and Website Data
Now close all apps. In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Next, reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
If those three things made no difference, try this. Reset all settings. You will not lose any data, but most of the device settings will have to be entered in the settings app again. Settings>General>Reset>Reset all Settings.
If all of that fails, restore the iOS software. Backup your iPad before you restore, then restore the backup when you are done. If that still doesn't help, restore your iPad as new and start all over again. Most purchased content can be downloaded again at no charge as long as you use the same Apple ID and as long as the content is still available in the store.

Extreme switches off when updating podcasts (too much data?) - the saga

Issue:
When refreshing podcasts the extreme can actually switch off, the status light on the extreme will switch off and it will not appear in the airport status menu. to recover I have to power cycle the extreme. There is no difference if I download only one podcast or allow for simultaneous downloads at a time. After about 1 or 2 times the extreme will just switch off.
Under this same configuration, my iTunes library has no issue playing back any of the content only podcast refreshing causes the Extreme to shutdown after the specified time.
Configuration:
Three disks connected to the airport extreme using an unpowered hub by technika. All three disks are powered through their own power supplies and are formatted in HFS+ Extended (Journaled)
You can find a youtube review of the hub here, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fihYOsQ1SQ8
iMac running Mac OS X 10.6.5 and all the latest updates. Disk Utility already run on the internal Macintosh HD and there are no errors to report.
Mac is connected wirelessly to the extreme's wifi network using 802.11a (I have yet to get it to connect using 802.11g.
Workarounds:
Despite the two other disks not being accessed by the mac, as a workaround I conducted two isolation steps.
I removed the other two disks from the hub while keeping the one disk with my iTunes Library connected through the hub, selected podcasts from the left hand side of iTunes and clicked refresh on the lower right corner of the iTunes window to get the latest podcasts to download.
-With the one disk connected to the hub, music playing back and podcasts downloading everything seems fine.
-I am now wondering if it's the hub or a limitation of the extreme or if it's because I am connected using 802.11a.
-Although I didn't finish downloading all the podcasts, I paused all intentionally and switched my mac to 802.11g successfully by changing the radio mode on the extreme to 802.11n only (5GHz) - 802.11b/g
-relaunched iTunes
-refreshed podcasts again
-The podcasts all stopped due to an error (sorry for not noting it)
-connected to hard drive directly to the extreme and restarted the extreme for good measure
-airport extreme not visible by mac wirelessly, reset extreme by pressing the button on back of extreme, which didn't do anything for some reason, power-cycled extreme.
-Launched iTunes and refreshed iTunes Library
-I noticed a few things, podcasts stop downloading due to err= -3150 or -3259
-more spinning beach balls in uTunes than usual (disk and network activity are the likely causes.)
-This setup seems flaky at best. Apple does not document this so I don't believe it's directly supported but it would be nice but I can see a lot of caveats beyond what I described.
I don't know if this helps anyone who is trying to do the same but I would say this should be avoided as I don't think the firmware on the extreme can support this, iTunes 10.1 doesn't seem to work well with this setup as there are errors when downloading and it gets a bit sluggish with iTunes experiencing so many disk and network activity issues (beach balls)
Moral of the story, I will go back to connecting my iTunes library disk directly to my mac unless someone has some clever solution or suggestion.
Here are the setting as per Airport Utility in Manual Setup
Airport Icon>Summary
Version 7.4.2
Wireless Mode: Create a Wireless Network
Wireless Security: WPA2 Personal
Internet Icon>Internet Connection
Connection Sharing: Off (Bridge Mode)
Disks Icon>Disks
3 hard drives connected.
Tried with iTunes Library Disk alone connected through the USB hub and directly into the Airport Extreme in an effort to isolate the issue.
Disk Icon>File Sharing
Enable File Sharing - on
Secure Shared Disks: With Airport Extreme password
Airport Disk Guest Access: Not allowed

Hi... mine crashes too, but it has to do with erasing a large amount of files.
I got my airport extreme the other day, very excited to be able to plug my 500 gb drive into it so my wife and I can back up our machines using wireless (time machine). I had already had a years worth of backup on the hard drive, and didn't realize that over the base station the way its backed up is different from when the HD is just hooked directly to the computer.
So, well... took forever to do a fresh back up, and then I went to erase my old time machine folder on my drive and every time I would request the delete over the network... crash the airport. I tried several more times, incl just doing a little folder. I ended up having to plug the drive directly into my machine and erasing it that way (over 700,000 files... so, not sure the Airport is designed to handle all that).
This might explain why the time machine works differently over Airport (and Time Capsule?) as the hardware that Apple uses just isn't up to handling large files. Over Airport it creates a disk image which it writes to, somehow, rather than directly writing a large amount of files to the drive. Seems like a work engineering work around to me, otherwise why change the method?
Cheers.

Received a replacement ipod nano in early January . Works well in a sound system but keeps turning off when earphones are used. tried 3 pair but same result. When tried for support comes up as expires. Says I have to purchase . Why????

Received an ipod nano replacement in January. It works in a sound system but keeps turning itself of or loosing sound when earphones are used. I have tried several sets os earphones with the same result. When I just tried to seek support my Serial number comes up with warranty expired although the letter says 3 mths warranty. What gives Apple ??? Any one any advice??/

This is usually an indication that your headphones are not plugged all the way in. The white plastic part of the headphones should be flush with the Nano and no silver from the plug should still be visible. The headphone jacks on the new 6G Nanos are a bit tighter than previous generations, so it requires a bit of extra push to get the headphones to pop all the way in.
Also check make sure the jack is clear of debris such as lint.

Keep getting error when trying to use =related function in PowerPivot

Greetings,
I have created a relationship between two tables based on a common field in PowerPivot, and whenever I use the =related() function to try and bring data from a field in one table to a field in another table, I keep getting and error message that says:
The column 'XXXX[xxxx]' either doesn't exist or doesn't have a relationship to any table available in the current context.
Any ideas? I've made this work before in a different dataset so I'm not sure what I'm missing. I have a feeling it might be really basic, but I'm spinning my wheels here.
Thanks very much!
MFW

Hi MFW,
This sounds like the table where you are trying to use the RELATED function from is on the
one side of the one-to-many relationship (i.e. the relationship arrow is pointed towards it). If in reality there is only a
one-to-one relationship between the data and you only need to bring the data from one table to the over, you can simply reverse the direction of the relationship and the RELATED function will work as expected. If this is not the case then you'll
need to use RELATEDTABLE instead of RELATED and some kind of aggregation or computation that ensures that a single value is returned for the column you are trying to get data from. There is also another function called CALCULATE which can be used for
this scenario.
Imagine that we have two simple tables: Table1 and Table2...
Table1
Column1
Column2
1
A
2
B
Table2
Column1
Column2
1
AA
2
BB
...and create a relationship where Table1 is on the many side and Table2 is on the one side i.e. Table1 -> Table2
We could use a number of methods to pull the the values from Column2 in Table1 into a new Calculated Column in Table2.
If the column we are trying to pull contains text values then we could use a combination of the CALCULATE and LASTNONBLANK function:
=CALCULATE(LASTNONBLANK(Table1[Column2], TRUE()))
If the Table1[Column2] contained only numeric or date values then we could use a combination of the RELATEDTABLE and MAXX functions:
=
MAXX(
RELATEDTABLE(Table1),
Table1[Column2]
An alternative to the DAX directly above is to use the CALCULATE and MAX functions:
CALCULATE(MAX(Table1[Column2]))
You can learn more about the functions I have referred to below:
CALCULATE
LASTNONBLANK
RELATEDTABLE
MAXX

Keep losing connection when trying to use FaceTime

While trying to connect to friends using FaceTime, or when receiving an incoming FaceTime from friends my connection is abruptly lost. Wi-Fi connection is excellent ( Fibre Optic). Any response to where an start troubleshooting would be greatly appreciated.

See:
iOS: Troubleshooting FaceTime
It could also be due to an Apple problem since some other 4G users has reported similar FT problems

Keep receiving error when trying to use a new Apple ID

"Please sign in again. For added security, we need to reconfirm your Apple ID."
I am beyond frustrated and have been working on this for about 2 hours. I don't understand how something so simple is becoming such a nusance. I created a new Apple ID however when trying to log into support, it gives me the phrase listed above. No matter how many times I try to log in, it completely shuts me out. If I use my old ID to log into the Apple ID site and then navigate to support, it logins me in no question.
I have looked at others who have had this issue and it appears to be an email conflict on multiple accounts. However both account use completely different email addresses. Any help is appreciated.
If I could just delete the conflicting account that would alleviate a lot of stress.

Is Apple abandoning the forums?
Unofrtunately, I don't have an answer to your problem - just wanted to let you know that these forums are user to user only; there are no Apple employees here.

Switch off when not in use or standby?

I dont have an ATV yet, but have lots of questions!
When not being used, is the ATV to be left in standby (consuming what I hope is just a small amount of electricity) or can the power be turned off at the wall socket? Does it lose any settings if I do this? I only have time to watch TV at weekends.

There is a stand by mode but it isn't a very low power mode, if you only use the tv at weekends, I would unplug it in between. I'd usually say don't be unplugging it regularly, but I don't believe once a week is. Personally I'd leave the unit in stand by on Saturday night though.

What happens if I switch off the "Use Cellular Data for Facetime"?

So I got a notice saying that my phone's storage was almost full which makes no sense to me because I barely have about 300 pictures on my phone, barely any apps, but I do have music. I have mail turned OFF, and I am always on WIFI. I don't know how this is a problem.
So what would happen if I pressed the switch off button for the "Use Cellular Data for: facetime"?
I use facetime A LOT with my friends WHILE ON WIFI but if this is causing my storage to go so full, I will do it.
Please heLP!

Using cellular data has nothing to do with the storage capacity on your phone. By turning it off you will only be able to FaceTime when your connected to wifi, thus saving you on your data plan if you do not have unlimited data from your carrier.
You can go to settings > usage to view what is filling up the capacity of your phone. You should import and back up your pictures to your computer following the directions here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083

ADSL Broadband keeps dropping out when trying to u...

Hi, hope someone can offer some advice please.
Our connection seems to have got a lot slower over the last few months (about 2.64 on a very good day) and now keeps dropping out when trying to use either the laptop or PS3. I have followed the advice on the self help guide and tried changing the ADSL filter, moved the hub away from the telephone, re-booting the hub and tried using it directly in the test socket and none of these have solved the problem. I have done a line test from work and it says there are no problems with the line??? I am getting really annoyed as we only have the phone line so we can use the internet so are paying over £40 a month for service we cant even use. I get the impression that as there are so many users on ADSL where I live (we dont have fibre optic yet) that it is too much for the exchange and that BT are upping peoples connections when they complain thus making other peoples worse (we had this problem about a year ago and complained and it was ok for a while)
Could this be true? Or am I just thinking too much in to it? And does anyone have any suggestions on how I could resolve the problem? I have had a bad experiance with being charged for an engineers visit in the past (eventually refunded) so would like to avoid having to get them involved if possible.
Thanks in advance.

you post the adsl stats from your router may need to 'show detail' to get all stats (if hub enter 192.168.1.254 in your browser and navigate to adsl or use a-z, if netgear enter 192.168.0.1) and run btspeedtester (MAC users may have problems) http://speedtester.bt.com or http://bt.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/9354/c/346,4740,5520 and post the results .
Someone may then be able to offer help/assistance/suggestions to your problem
