i have an iPhone 4 and it turns on but it keeps "searching" for service and it says to connect to my itunes and a support grouop but when i plug it into my laptop (and i have a toshiba not a mac) my phone doesnt even connect so i have no idea whatas going on with my phone and i need it asap!
Check your connection - Reset Network Settings - Toggle Airplane Mode -
If none of those help hard reset the phone
Hold down the Home button and the Power on/off button "at the same time"
-Screen will go black then after a few seconds you should see the Apple Logo, once you see the logo let go of both buttons. Allow the iPhone to reboot- -
I bought an iphone 4s from Gamestop in California and I didn't get any icloud info for it. Now I am stuck in the activation screen, any suggestions (no jailbreak)?
Take it back for a refund it is "activation locked" to the original owners Apple ID and password.

Received an authorized unlock code from apple/AT&T for my off-contract 3GS (8GB). Per the “Completing Authorized iPhone Unlock” instructions, I connected to iTunes to back up and restore so my iPhone can be unlocked! But after the restore my iPhone is stuck at the activation screen, it will not activate saying “Your iPhone cannot be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable”. I tried this again and again for countless times, no way! I have my old AT&T simcard and other carrier’s simcard. Both will not help. Please help me to activate and start using my phone.
Hello,

In the afternoon I saw that at top in the left corner show invaild sim card or so (only knew the german version). so I restore it again but now it won`t activate after I enter SIM-PIN and it accept it, it shows "No Service".
Anybody can help? My Carrier is o2 Germany.

my camera on my iPhone 5 is not working it's stuck on the shutter screen what can I do please help!!!!
Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

IPhone 5 keeps searching for carrier.
I have an unlocked iPhone 5. I recently updated my iPhone to iOS 7 and now it keeps searching for carrier. What should I do?
Well, it seems the phone is working again now. I've tried to restore it several times (which didn't work) but after restoring it from backup (iCloud) the phone seems to work again.
It's not a real solution becouse I've tried to restore it several times without result. Very very very strange problem... -
IOS 7.0.3: iPhone 5 keeps searching for a network without sim
Hi there
I update my iPhone 5 from 7.0.2 to 7.0.3 yesterday.
Since then my iPhone does not care about the sim card.
I can remove the sim card and the iPhone keeps searching for a network.
Whe I insert another sim, the iPhone does not ask for a pin.
I did a iPhone Restore. Saddly the bug is still there.
My problem no is, I cannot activate my iPhone after the restore, because of the sim card problem.
Is there a simple solution, or shoud I go to an Apple Store?
Thanks!My solution was the Recovery Mode:

Unlocked iPhone 5 keeps searching for signal overseas
Sorry if this has been answered previously, but I could not find anything to my particular issue. I have an unlocked iPhone 5 that worked just fine in the US however, I am now stationed overseas and have purchased a contract from T-Mobile in Germany. When the new SIM card was initially inserted, the phone recieved signal and worked just fine. About an hour or two after the phone working, it began cycling through "Seaching..." and "No Service" continuously. T-Mobile would not try a new SIM card due to the current one apparently being just fine (they took mine out of my phone and put it in another iPhone and it worked). So they claim that it is either an iOS or hardware issue, which it very well may be. I have tried all the little 'tricks' found all around threads such as; turning airplane mode on and off, force reset(home and power button held together), system restore, reset network settings, and reset all settings. All to no avail. My old AT&T SIM still works just fine over here and connects to the networks over here just fine however, I have been told several times that it's a iOS or hardware issue. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Go back to T-Mobile and demand new SIM card. You are paying for cell sevice if they cannot provide it, then cancel T-Mobile. I am sure they will give you functioning SIM Card.

I really need help.
You can not go any further without intervention from the previous owner.

Hi guys need help activating my phine it keeps telling me to try again as it could not contact server.
That message usually indicates that your phone was hacked or jailbroken to unlock it.
Then when you updated the phone it locked back up to the original carrier.
Only the carrier that the phone is locked to can unlock it. -
I have had my iPhone 4 for nearly a year now and previously i have had no problems with the phone but over the past few weeks since i have done the ios:5 update..
It's been driving me insane. I lose signal when i need signal the most & it's also been cutting out all of my phone calls.
Is anyone else having the same problem? & have you resolved it.. PLEASE HELP. I'M DESPERATE.Try restoring the iPhone as well as getting a new sim card.

the iphone has been restored when I received it
Ask eBay for a refund. If you can't contact the person who set the lock, you won't be able to get the device activated, and Apple won't unlock that device for you.

Where do i go from here i do not know what to do as i have been trying to contact the person i bought it from but they have given me no reply i need advice on how to get this problem solved, i do have the email confirmation is that enough to get apple to deactivate it from the persons Icloud
Until that person help you, the iPhone is a dead weight. We can't help you with this. This is the new activation lock feature to prevent stolen iPhone from activating.

My iPhone 4S keeps searching even after I took out SIM card
My iPhone 4S keeps searching for service.
I've tried:
Taking out SIM card, then powered off my phone
Powered off my phone
Restarting network settings
Restarting all settings
Airplane mode off and on
This has been going on for about possibly two months now.
What can I do to resolve this problem?
After two weeks since this happened, I dropped my phone resulting into the back glass being cracked, and a better quality camera (haha), could this be another cause??The device is obviously damaged.
If it has been opened by anyone other than Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Center you are on your own.
If it has not been, take it to Apple for an Out of Warranty replacement. -
My iphone 3g is keep searching for network, and the carrier unable to load network list , wat shall i do?
Yes, that kind of tallies with my experience ... after 3 days of useless iPhone 3G (BTW, killing 3G on the phone and relying on acquiring AT&T 2G didn't help, it still locked onto T-Mobile with the result that it was draining battery and rebooting frequently!), I ended up visiting the local Apple Store.
Although the visit was not to resolve the iPhone problem, whilst there I happened to cycle the phone and due to the store having a local AT&T cell, the strength of the local signal meant that I finally re-acquired a AT&T 3G signal ... once locked on again the phone was fine for the next day.
Nett outcome of this is that I would prefer to lay most of the blame for this debacle on the poor state of 3G support both by AT&T (and US carriers in general), maybe exacerbated in my case by two related events (the local DNC in Denver, which saturated local AT&T cells including 3G and a proliferation of v2.0.0 and v2.0.1 firmwares on iPhones in town, which dragged cell coverage into the weeds).
It would be nice for future sanity if AT&T and T-Mobile could at least resolve the ability to acquire/release the iPhone gracefully, otherwise I'll be very sceptical of travelling back to the US with only my iPhone, as a self-employeed consultant I can't afford to be out of touch for three days again!
