TS1398 3GS IPhone will not recognize a Wi-Fi connection at home or work.  We have tried turning it on/off as well as turning airplane mode to on while turning it off then back on again.  My 3GS IPhone is working fine with our router at home.  Thanks

My husband's 3GS IPhone will not recognize a Wi-Fi connection at home or work.  We have tried turning it on/off as well as turning airplane mode to on while turning it off then back on again.  My 3GS IPhone is working fine with our router at home.  Please advise what our next step should be.  Thank you for taking the time to read this post!!

Just to double check you tried eveyrthing take a look at this link http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398 .
Can also try powering off the home router, then the phone, and then power up the router wait for the signal and then power up the phone and see if he can connect.

  • I upgraded iphone 3gs to ios6 but now iphone will not recognize SIM card

    Hi,
    I upgraded both ipad 2 and iphone 3gs to ios6. I don't see any issue with ipad 2 but now iphone will not recognize SIM card. "Please insert a SIM card" message

    You say "... but now panorama is not working".  Panorama never was supposed to work before iOS 6, so you'll be using it for the first time with iOS 6.
    The way to enable panorama is to open the camera, click the "options" button at the top center, and select panorama.
    Does this work on your iPhone?  If not, what symptoms of failure do you experience?

    It reboots it but unplugging can also rectify communication issues like this. A restore would be the next step.

    Most likely the phone is locked to a carrier that you haven't tried yet.

  • ITunes 10.6.0.40 will not open on Windows 7, no error messages come up. Have tried un-installing it and re-installing it many times.

    iTunes 10.6.0.40 will not open on Windows 7, no error messages come up. Have tried un-installing it and re-installing it many times. Please help.

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    If the advice above doesn't resolve things you could try this alternate version:
    iTunes 12.1.0.71 for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) - itunes64setup.exe (2015-01-28)
    which is a 64-bit installer for the 32-bit version of the core application, similar to previous 64-bit releases.
    Or roll back to the previous build:
    iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe (2014-10-16)
    iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (64-bit) - iTunes64Setup.exe (2014-10-16)

    It's a tray loading drive, there should be a little hole next to it, just large enough for a paper clip.  Stick the end of the paper clip in it and the tray should open.

    How did you fix this??

  • IPhone will not recognize 1 contact's name

    I use an iPhone 4 but this problem has been persisting since my iPhone 3GS on iOS 3.1
    I sync my contacts with google contacts via exchange activesync.
    All of my contact names display normally when they call me, message me or if I look at them on the missed calls list EXCEPT for one number which is frustratingly my fiancee's number. Her name will display when she calls me most of the time but not always, but on SMS and the missed calls list, it displays her phone number instead of her name.
    I have tried everything I can think of to remedy this problem including removing her contact information from all devices and my google contacts list online, restarting all devices, then receiving a call from her and adding her as a new contact directly on the phone. Usually this fixes the "calling" screen for a while but not the SMS and missed calls list, then it becomes intermittant on the calling screen again after time.
    I referenced this problem in a discussion in which a user's phone wouldn't display any names at all to no avail, so now I am starting this as its own issue.
    Thank you for your help Apple! ;-)

    Update - I did a full restore as a new iPhone and did not restore it from back up. The names are now showing up as expected / intended by Apple.
    I have not tried restoring from backup (it was a good way to ruthlessly clear the apps I didn't use off of my home screen!) but if anyone does try this method (restore as new iPhone then restore from backup) it would be appreciated if you could post your results below.
    I have read that the issue could be due to a corrupted entry for the number/name that can only be fixed by jailbreaking and editing the file yourself, so I assume restoring from backup would bring the problem back.

  • My iPhone will not recognize other iPhones for iMessage after updating to ios 6.  Any suggestions?

    I updated my phone last week and after the update was finished I noticed I could not initiate an iMessage conversation with other iPhone users who I had always been able to use iMessage with.  If I begin the conversation it sends as a regular SMS message and after the other iPhone user responds it allows me to use iMessage.  I have toggled the iMessage switch on and off, signed out and back in on my apple I.D., as well as resorting to restoring my phone, still nothing.  Is anyone else experiencing this issue?

    What happens when you try?
    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

  • Iphone will not recognize an Airport Express extending a wireless network

    Hi. I asked elsewhere in the support community and someone suggested I also ask here. I have two Airport Expresses, one in my living room that is creating a wireless network, and another in the back of my house, extending a wireless network so it will reach in to the back yard. The one in the living room is the new 2012 model, and the one in back is the pre-2012 model. They both have the latest firmware, and I configured them both using the Airport Utility, and can confirm they are working as configured, to create and extend a wireless network.
    My mid-2010 Macbook with Lion shifts between devices effortlessly, switching to the stronger signal when I move between the house and the back yard. I can verify this by selecting Option+Click on the wireless widget in the menu bar and checking the BSSID against the Airport Utility. But the signal from the living room unit still reaches in to the back yard, and as far as I can tell, and the iPhone 4S cannot recognize the existence of the extending unit (outside of the Airport Utility). I know the former is a well-known problem, the iPhone is unique in that it will annoyingly hold on to the existing connection for dear life, even when a stronger one is available. I thought I could work around that by power cycling or disabling/reenabling Wi-Fi when out of range of the living room unit to get around that problem but even that doesn't work.
    When I go some place out of range of the living room unit but still within line of sight of the back yard unit, say the neighboring field, the laptop can connect to the back yard unit with about -75 RSSI, but the iPhone does not even see the wireless network. Even after a power cycle at that location. If I approach my back yard from the field while constantly scanning Wi-Fi (switching between the front pane in the Settings app and the Wi-Fi pane), the iPhone does not see my network until it sees the living room unit, at which point it tries to connect, and the Airport Utility shows the iPhone is connected to the living room unit, not the back yard unit. This is in contrast to the Macbook which both sees the extending Airport and happily connects to it when it has better signal than the living room unit.
    Any idea why the iPhone cannot see the extending Airport Express but the Macbook can?

    Anyone? Has anyone had experience with this problem? I've reset the extending Airport and reapplied the settings and still have the same problem.
