3GS doesnt recognise sim. Status switches between 'no sim' or 'searching' ? If it does find the network it only keeps it for a minute or two.  Please any suggestions welcome.

IPhone 3GS doesn't recognise sim card. Status either says no sim or searching.  If it does find network it's only for a minute or two?? Any ideas?

YEs sorry I should of said. I tried a different sim in my phone and the same thing happened and tried my si
IN a different phone and it works ok.  I've also tried restoring it to factory settings.

  • How can I get my stereo to play music videos from my Ipod Nano?  It comes up with the message "This device not supported".  Strangely my Iphone IS recognised.  The stereo, Ipod, and Iphone are less than 4 months old. Any suggestions welcome!

    How do I get my Ipod to play music videos through my theatre system?  I keep getting the message "This device not supported".  My theatre system WILL recognise my Iphone however.  The theatre system, Ipod, and Iphone are all less than 4 months old.  Any suggestions welcome!

    Check with the theater system vendor and see if their system is compatible with the Nano. The resolution on the Nano may be too low for the system.

  • I keep getting a message that says HD disc is full.   However, the status shows I have plenty of memory remaining.  I get the same message when I try to save or email it.  Any suggestions?

    When I try to save or email a document, I get a message that "the disc is full trying to write to MAC HD.  free some space on this drive, or save the document to another disc."  I can't figure out how to save to another disc.  And, when I check the available memory, my computer has  1 GB of available memory.  I closed all programs and deleted the "trash" items.  Any suggestions?  Thanks

    Disk space and memory are two different things.
    This is system memory (RAM):
    This is disk space:
    If your startup disk is full there will be very little green in the above pie chart. You need to erase items from your startup volume for OS X to have space to work.
    OS X Lion: Remove files and folders from your computer
    Mountain Lion is the same.
    Don't neglect to look for potentially deleted email messages, iPhoto items or iMovie clips that may have been moved to their own Trash. These must be "emptied" separately.

  • My 3GS keeps switching between iPhone speaker and Dock connector and I don't know how to keep it on iPhone speaker

    My 3GS keeps switching between iPhone speaker and Dock connector and I don't know how to keep it on iPhone speaker so I can listen to my music and games.  Is it hardware or software problem?

    I was told by a friend that sometimes when you use a 3rd party charger that the connectors are not the same size and so it can affect the sensors in the phone and make it seem like it is in a docking station and so changes the output for dock speakers.  With that said, I didn't take my pohone in to be serviced at the appple store because it was a 3GS and over 2 years old and so not covered by any service plan.  Since then my phone is back to normal and I can use my headphones and listen with the speakers on the phone.  I stoped using the suspected cheap 3rd party charger and maybe that's what did it, but not sure if it was or wasn't the cause of my problem.  I'm glad that my phone is better I was kinda holding out for the Iphone 5 when i comes out later and hope my phone lasted until then.

    During restore my 3GS has been stuck in Apps loading for over 30 minutes now.. Any suggestions? Thanks ps.. I am holding off buying 4S until bugs worked out..

    The problem is twenty three people leaving or twenty three thousand leaving has zero impact on a carrier with over 100 million customers. And they have the lowest churn rate. So if 10,000 or 20,000 or more churn out it means little to the carrier.
    If you have a real lawyer he/she will advise you that you have no case. The device was not lost or stolen by the carrier, you were not eligible for a new device, and like any business who employs large numbers of poorly trained personnel who make low wages what was told to you is not in writing. So a verbal exchange does not hold up.
    In fact in Verizon's customer agreement it has such a disclaimer against any verbal exchanges so if you have that agreement in writing, go get them.
    The posting on public forums and places like Face Book, Linkin, Google+ or a personal web site can open you up to a lawsuit for Dilution of Trade Name, and other offences. However if you have proof then go for it.
    Unfortunately that is how big business works today. A pity

  • Sim card switching between iphones

    The other day I dropped my iPhone, cracking the screen. I have a spare iphone so I just popped the sim out of the old phone and put it into the new one. However when I plug the new phone into iTunes, it asks me to create a new account with AT&T.
    Do I have to take it to the apple store or something? How can I get this sim to work with the new iphone
    thanks a lot

    Alright the woman from AT&T had no idea what to do...
    She suggested I go in to the Apple Store and talk to them. I really won't have time for that tomorrow and really need a working phone. If I set up the phone again, will it restart my 2-year agreement?
    With the new sim card in my phone, it just displays the the usb cord pointing to the iTunes logo (like when I first bought it). I plug it into iTunes, and it asks me to enter in my AT&T phone number. After verifying my account with my ss number and zip code, it asks me to enter in how many texts I want per month. This makes me think I am going to restart my 2-year agreement... which I definitely don't want to do. All I want for is the phone to work as soon as possible, and to not have to restart my 2-year agreement with AT&T. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks a lot

  • Using Windows 7 and Firefox 10.0.2, at random times all home page images "disappear" when switching between web sites. Page layout on some web sites is lost. Requires removing and downloading Firefox to restore. Any ideas?

    I have recently (6 months ago) purchased and use an HP Pavilion desktop with Windows 7. At times, when especially active (several windows open) and switching between windows or using links to connect with another web page, all the images on the home home page "disappear", that is to say there is space, but no image, as if the page did not load correctly. When this happens, pages other than the home page also do not display images.
    Same pages display correctly in Explorer whenever this happens.

  • Is there an easy way to switch between ehternet and wifi connection without having to disconnect the ethernet cable?

    Hi All
    Was wondering if there is an easy way to switch between ethernet and wifi connection on Apple TV without having to disconnect the ethernet cable. The reason I ask is that I find it quicker to use my ethernet connection via a Netgear Powerline Home Theatre Set-up to stream Trailers and Movies on the Apple TV, however this is no good when connecting directly to my Mac to stream music or TV shows in iTunes, so revert to the wifi connection that I created on my Time Capsule to do this.
    Would be handy if Apple TV had a menu option where you could manually change the connection type depending on what you were doing, as per above scenario.
    Cheers

  • Difference between open loop and closed loop mode when finding the index on a stepper motor axis.

    I have a test system which uses a PXI-7352 motion controller with a MID-7602 stepper motor drive to position a 200 step/revolution stepper motor with an attached 1000 line encoder.  The MID-7602 is configured for 64 microsteps per step, giving 12,800 microsteps and 4000 encoder counts per revolution.  The system is controlled using LabView 7.1 and NI-Motion 6.13.  To home the motor, I've defined a sequence in MAX which first finds the reverse limit switch and then moves forward to the encoder index pulse.
    When finding its reference in open loop mode, the system its reference at the same microstep each time.  When findings its reference in closed loop mode, the system finds its reference somewhere within about a 20 microstep wide range.
    I hope somebody out there with more experience with this controller can describe the difference between finding the encoder index in open loop mode and finding the encoder index in closed loop mode. 
    Thanks,
    Mark Moss

    Hello Mark,
    I suspect that the behavior you are experiencing has today
    with the resolution difference between your encoder and your
    microstepping.  Let me illustrate with an
    example:
    Example Setup
    Stepper
    Motor
    NI
    Motion Controller
    10
    steps per encoder pulse (Every 10 steps the controller gets an encoder
    pulse, therefore positions 0-9 all appear to be 0 to the controller)
    The
    system has a maximum of 3 pull in moves set
    Open Loop Scenario
    The
    system is commanded to go to position 9.
    The
    controller sends out 9 pulses.
    The
    motor moves to position 9.
    Closed Loop Scenario
    The
    system is commanded to go to position 9.
    The
    controller sends out 9 pulses.
    The
    motor moves to position 9.
    The
    controller checks its position and sees that it is still at position 0
    because it has not received an encoder pulse.
    Because
    the controller thinks it is still at position 0, it sends another 9 pulses
    as its first pull in move.
    The
    motor moves to position 18.
    The
    controller checks its position and sees that it is at position 10 because
    it has only received one encoder pulse.
    Because
    the controller thinks it is still at position 10, it sends1 reverse pulse
    as its second pull in move.
    The
    motor moves to position 17.
    The
    controller checks its position and sees that it is at position 10 because
    it has only received one encoder pulse.
    Because
    the controller thinks it is still at position 10, it sends and additional
    single reverse pulse as its third pull in move.
    The
    motor moves to its final position of 16.
    I believe something similar is happening with your
    application as it looks for the index pulse. 
    Because the controller does not compensate for what it perceives as
    position error in open loop mode, the motor always goes to the same commanded
    position.  In closed loop mode, the motor
    is bouncing around inside the single index encoder pulse trying to find a
    certain position.
    There are several recommendations I can make towards
    correcting this behavior.  These
    recommendations are in order of effectiveness:
    Setup
    your system so that there are more encoder counts per revolution than
    steps per revolution.
    Turn
    off pull-in moves by setting them to 0 in MAX.
    Use an
    open loop configuration.
    Play
    around with the pull in window in MAX.
    Regards,
    Luke H

  • When i switched from windows vista to windows 7 my songs on itunes dont play fully they are cut off even on ipod..any suggestions?

    When I switched from windows vista to windows 7 on a new computer my ipod doesnt play songs from itunes fully it cuts them off before they play out entirely. Any suggestions?

    Delete the current copy, don't hide from iTunes in the cloud if prompted, close iTunes, reopen, download from iTunes Store > Quicklinks > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer.
    While downloading click the download icon and uncheck Enable simultaneous downloads. You may find it more reliable that way.

  • I have an iphone 3gs, when I try to connect to my home wi-fi the phone goes thru the motions, finds the network but can't lock it in.  The check mark next to the network flashes a few times then the phone goes serching again and the same thing happens.

    I have an Iphone 3gs wi-fi problem.  When I try to access my home wi-fi network the phone looks for the network, finds it, but cannot lock it in.  The check mark flashes a few times then the phone tries again to connect.  This only happens with my home wi-fi.  Any suggestions on how to fix this problem.  I have re-booted the phone and the router without any luck.

    SOLUTION! 
    I've been suffering from this problem for a few months.  I tried everything suggested by everyone, and then, today, I had a mad idea. 
    I used to work in a room in the house that's about 12 metres away from the router. It's on the next storey up and horizontally about 8 metres away.  The problem started when I began to work in the same room as the router. 
    Today I became so frustrated that for some reason I walked into a room about 8 metres away on the same level - Guess what?  I connected with no problem at all. Feeling full of joy I walked back to the room where the router is located - Dropped internet connection within a few minutes!  Walked back to the the room that's 8 metres away and, hey presto! I have a connection. I now realise that the problem was that I moved too close to the router.
    I can think of no logical explanation for my experience, but empirically it seems to work.  Does anyone have the faintest idea of why this should be the case?  In the absence of an answer I think I may have to start believing in fairies at the bottom of the garden - I'm just off to set a meal for them.
    By the way, I don't know if it has any significance, but the router is a BT Infinity router that has replaced the incredibly unreliable Virgin Media cable connection

    You have outdated iOS software so without upgrading it first there is little you can do.   A restore will force you to upgrade as 5.1.1 is no longer signed.

  • SIM CARD switch between iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4

    Can I swap my iPhone 3GS card into an iPhone 4?  Will I be penalized by Apple?

    Apple has nothing to do with whether you use your original iPhone, 3G, 3GS, or iPhone 4.
    Your carrier is the only one that would have any concern.
    Keep in mind that the iPhone 4 uses a microSIM card so you will need an adaptor to take that microSIM and use it in the 3GS or any other GSM phone.
