5s not holding LTE signal. running iOS 7.0.3

I've had my iphone for about 2 weeks now and last week I had my old 4s plugged into my mac at the same time as my new 5s and it messed up my music. I couldn't fix it so decided to just reset my 5s. Where I live 4g is pretty spotty. Yesterday I was on the road by Lincoln, Ne where they have a pretty strong 4g signal. Before I decided to reset my iphone I never had a problem with my 4g signal, especially by Lincoln. Yesterday was the first time I was in an area where I could recieve a 4g signal since I reset my phone. My phone kept bouncing in between 4g and 3g. So, I went to my settings and turned of the "LTE" and turned it right back on and what do you know..it connected to LTE for a few minutes and then dropped it. I did this hand full of times yesterday when I dropped the 4g. The weird thing is that I was back in Lincoln that night (the same day) and had a STRONG LTE signal. But as soon as i got 15-20 miles out I would start bouncing between signals(I wasn't turning the LTE on an off this time). My mom has a Gallaxy Note 2 or 3 and she never dropped her LTE signal that entire time, where I on the other hand lost it 2 or 3 times. Same thing happened today!!!! I finally reset my network settings today, and it still bounced in between 4g and 3g. So, is this normal??? Did I mess something up with my phone when I did a reset on it?? or do you think its just a coincedence that 4g might be crappy these past 2 days?? I'm just concerned because I spent over 300$ on this phone and part of the reason I got it was for the 4g LTE! Let me know what you guys think!!! THANKS!
P.S. My software on the phone is Up-to-Date

Go to settings>icloud>storage and back up>back up
after that preform a restore by going to
general>reset>erase all content and settings
this will delete everything except the enabled stuff on icloud.
You can view whats enabled by going to icloud in settings.

TS3694 phone does not hold a signal

My Iphone 4 does not hold its signal. This has been going on for a day and I have not dropped my Iphone recently. It says "searching" and than "no service" and than it shows bars for AT&T...This happens every time I look at the phone and also drops the calls when on the phone. My phone appears to be in great condition on the outside. What should I do?

Have you checked with AT&T to see if there is an outage in your area?

Exchange 2003 push notifications not working on iPhone4 running iOS 5

My Exchange 2003 push notifications are not working on my iPhone4 (iOS5). For this account I need to fetch. I know that at one point I was receiving push notifications from the Exchange 2003 account prior to upgrading to iOS 5 but unfortunately I did not actively monitor push notifications for this accout prior to upgrading to iOS 5. Push notifications work fine for other email accounts on this phone including an Exchange 2007 account. Are there any issues specific to iOS 5 and Exchange 2003 with regard to push notifications?

This is an issue that a lot of people are having... it's all on this thread.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4345374?start=0&tstart=0
The 'fix' that is decribed in the first post does not work. The only workaround is if you are on Wi-Fi, turn off Cellular Data and then reset the push service by turning on Airplane mode for a few seconds and then turn it back off. Seems to be an issue with the iOS talking to the new LTE CDMA chip on Verizon and Sprint iPhone 5s.

Iphone 6 running iOS 8.02 showing no sim

I did not have any problems running ios 8 at all. I only briefly saw for 5 minutes my phone showed No Sim But it went away. I decided to update to ios 8.02 and it worked for a few hours but now it is showing No Sim again and it is not going away. I am not having other problems like with Touch ID or with wifi but basically I cant do anything phone related. Is there a fix to this or an option to downgrade to 8.0 or am I phoneless until Apple releases another update?

Did you already try to update your carrier settings?
Follow these instructions to update your carrier settings:
Make sure your device is connected to the Internet.
Tap Settings > General > About. If an update is available, a prompt will appear.
Note: Occasionally a carrier may release a mandatory update. This type of update will display only an OK button instead of an Update button, to let you know that the update was downloaded and installed.
If you need to know the version of the carrier settings your device has, tap Settings > General > About and look next to "Carrier".
Additional Information
Note: If you insert a new SIM or micro-SIM card into your iPhone or iPad, you'll need to download the carrier settings for the new carrier wirelessly. Carrier settings are available only for iPhone support carriers and iPad partner carriers. If you're not using a partner carrier, you will need to set up the carrier's settings manually. Refer to your carrier for appropriate settings.

IPad 1 running IOS 5.1.1 not working with home WIFI, but everywhere else

I have an iPad 1 supporting 3G and WIFI running IOS 5.1.1 and up to now it has worked great. We recently had the cable modem in the house upgraded and the box included a better WIFI system than we had before. After installation, all the laptops in the house worked great except my iPad. One of the kickers is that when my wife came home with her iPad 1 running IOS 4, it worked great too. And when I've gone to a hotspot, it also gets connected well.
The symptoms are that the WIFI menu will see my home network as an option. When I select it, I get a spinner and the left side bar will indicate that it is using that network, but the spinner never completes. The upper left will mostly stay as 3G and will occasionally go to a WIFI setting, but nothing will connect. If I tap on the details, I usually don't get DHCP connection and get an IP address. Once in a great while, I can connect up and have access, but it is incredibly slow and usually fades off in a minute.
I have tried turning off the iPad, resetting network settings, telling it to forget the network and try again and reset the iPad. I have removed all security from the router, reduced down the encryption to WEP like the old wireless router and still nothing. Of course the Cable company says it is the iPad problem and I tend to agree.
My next step is to erase and start over, which I do not wish to do if I don't have to.
Any ideas?

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

ICal calendars not syncing with iPhone 4 running iOS 4.0.2

I have an iPhone 4 running iOS 4.0.2
I'm using iCal on my MBP running Mac OS 10.6.4
I have a MobileMe account.
Never had an issue with calendars syncing with the iPhone previously.
I am using MobileMe Calendar Beta. This now displays my calendars in iCal under my MobileMe account name (eg. [email protected]) rather than the 'On My Mac' section that it use to.
I have five separate calendars in iCal on the Mac all named appropriately (eg. Work, Personal etc.) and all that appears on the iPhone is one calendar named 'Calendar' with no events in it??
I've used MobileMe (.Mac) and iPhone syncing for years and have them set up as I always have.
Does anyone have the same issues? Does anyone have any constructive advise?
Thanks
Jeff

Why does deleting a calendar appointment on an iPhone 5 running iOS 6.0.2 not send a cancellation notice to attendees?

The company I work for runs Microsoft Exchange 2010 servers on premise. I have an Exchange account configured on my iPhone 5 running iOS 6.0.2. I am finding that if I choose to Delete an event from the Calender app on the iphone, the event is being removed from the iphone, and from the Exchange server, but the other people that are invited to the meeting are not receiving cancellation notices, nor is the event being deleted from their Exchange calendars. Why not?

I had the same experience with a new iPhone 5 that I bought last week. Did not have a chance to measure battery life before the 6.0.2 upgrade installed but I set up my phone exactly like my 4S and immediately started running out of power after short periods. Went to Xmas get together with fully charged 5 and 4S. Heading home the iPhone 5 shut down for low battery and the 4S had 65% power. Both phones had two half phone calls on then and no data usage.
That night I fully charged the iPhone 5 and, without lighting it up, put it on my night table. Next morning I picked it up and looked at battery indicator and I had 42% charge with NO activity!
Tried it again next night and wound up with 37% charge. (Slept longer).
Today I called the carrier and reactivated the 4S. Took the 5 to Apple Store and they kindly gave me choice of new replacement phone or refund. I took the refund. Uniquely, the Apple Store said it was Verizon CDMA phones that were coming back.
The are other strings on this with temporary solutions, but from my experience with 7 firmware changes on an HTC 4G phone the problem will continue because the solution will be hardware caused. We are in the days where RTM means Rush to Market - not Release To Manufacturing.
I fear the only solution is to either wait for the next model (I did not notice a really major change in performance over the 4S in LTE heavy Seattle area) - or switch to another manufacturer.
It might be useful for these forums to indicate if you have a GSM or CDMA phone to see which have more problems.
Discouraged....

I have an iPad 2 running iOS 8. The email app is not working. The screen shows empty email box, then closes on its own. I have tried closing the app, turning ipad on and off and reset to no avail. Any other ideas? Thanks.

I Have an iPad 2 running iOS 8. When I open email, the email isn't there. I have tried closing the app, turning off the ipad and resetting the iPad. None of that helps. Any ideas? Thanks.

So the app is opening to a white screen then closing on its own? If you have deleted your email accounts & the app is still crashing then I would try resetting all settings (without deleting data).
Did you reboot the iPad after removing the email accounts? If not, try that first holding the home & sleep/wake buttons simultaneously until the apple logo appears, then release & once booted back up, try opening the mail app again.
The problem may have started because one of your email messages might have been corrupt or had a corrupt attachment. If you can access it from a computer, sign into your email & see if there are any that can't be opened or produce errors opening. If so, delete the offending emails then try adding the account back to the iPad.

I have a Verizon iphone 5 that won't switch from WiFi to LTE, I'm running IOS 6.1.3

It will only recognize the LTE network after I power down and restart the phone. Anybody have a fix for this?
Thanks
Dave

I am having the exact same issue. Say I restart my phone fresh with Data on. It will connect that one time. The next time I turn it off to use WiFi and turn it back on, LTE will come up but Im unable to use it. It acts as if there is no connection there. The only way to use my data again is to restart my phone, which is a huge problem when I need Data right then and there. It seems only when I turn on Wifi does my LTE not work anymore. I am running iOS 6.1.3. Maybe it is because Im using a backup from my old( really old ) jailbroken iPod Touch 4th gen. Im going to try to restore it to 6.1.4 today without using a backup. Ill see how it goes. I would like to keep all my photos and every so I have no idea how to do this. Any help with either issue is appreciated, thanks.

THis is means they are not charging on a 30 pin cable and the touch won't work in my Apple iPod dock - no audio out or charge. Have re powered both devices to no avail am wondering if the iOS version is the problem
Help!

If it is a lightning to 30 pin adaptor, and you have a 7th Generation Nano it has to fit the Nano.
This is lightning to 30 pin adapter: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Apple%26%23174%3B---Lightning-to-30-Pin-Adapter/6651 936.p?id=1218803450821&skuId=6651936#tab=overview
Is this what you bought?
You need to contact Sony and see if they model you have is compatible with the docking adapter. It may not be.

IPhone 4S running iOS 5.1.1 is not recognised by iTunes 10.6.3

Hi all,
When I plug my iPhone 4S into my Mac Book Pro running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4, iTunes 10.6.3 does not recognise the device. The iPhone is running iOS 5.1.1.
I have read the steps within http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591 and http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1747 (for Mac OS X 10.6.8 or Earlier) and unfortunately they do not help.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thank you
Adrian

Restore the phone as New, and do not reload your backup. If you still have a problem with it you have a hardware problem.

Multitasking on iPod Touch 4G, running iOS 6.1.2, nearly impossible. Opened, background apps do not seem to stay in memory and must "reload" every time I switch back to them. Also, intense battery drain (imo).

Let's say I'm playing Words with Friends, and also Angry Birds. I may want to go back and forth between the two. When I do so, the app that was in the background needs to reload again. There is no quick access or ability to quickly resume where I left off. And the reloading means that the app restarts from its opening screens...so if I was working on a level, I have to start all over again. And quite often, a game like Angry Birds will lag greatly when I first open it...moving almost in slow-motion.
I don't know if this is typical behavior when playing multiple games, or if I have an issue with my device. I've rebooted and even reset and restored, all to no avail.
There doesn't appear to be as much of an issue if I'm playing one game but also have the music player open, or Safari, Notes, Reminders, etc. Those will resume just fine, though there may be some lag when opening/re-opening them.
So I guess the problem seems to lie within 3rd party apps, and not the apps that are part of the iPod/iOS.
The other problem is battery drain. I do all of my music listening via Bluetooth, so I expect that to have a greater impact than if I were using plugged in headphones, and I have location services turned on. But I have most notifications turned off, all email accounts set to manual and not push, screen brightness turned down and auto brightness turned on, "ask to join networks" turned off, auto-lock is set to 2 minutes but I almost always turn off the screen immediately after setting up my music listening (since I do so at work), volume limit turned on, EQ turned off, sound check turned off,
With these settings, my battery can drain 20% or more within 10-15 minutes of game play. And these are not what I would consider memory intensive games--just Words and Angry Birds.
I've installed (and recently uninstalled) a couple of battery meters from the Apple Store as well--freebies. Carat, Battery Doctor, Battery HD, Battery Magic.
Carat and Battery Doctor seemed to offer the most pertinent and accurate information so the others were uninstalled long ago.
The Accelerate tab in Battery Doctor show the amount of memory in use, and the amount of available memory. The vast majority of the time, the memory in use is approximately 94%. I will occasionally choose to "accelerate" which supposedly frees up memory, but this "bump" lasts only a brief time and I'm not sure it's a great idea.
Even with absolutely nothing open or running, my used memory is generally still above 80%.
Carat, if anyone is familiar with it, shows a J-Score. My J-Score is 17, which means that my performance (according to Carat, anyway) is better than only 17% of the users who have Carat installed. In other words, 83% of people are getting better performance from their devices. It also has "battery hog" and "battery bug" sections. It doesn't detect any hogs or bugs.
I use my iPod Touch in rather limited ways. A typical day consists of approximately 5 hours of music listening via Bluetooth and 30 minutes to 1 hour of playing the aforementioned games. The occasional note and reminder, perhaps a brief check-in with the weather, and that's about it. And wifi is in use only when at home (there is no hotspot at work). Still, I need to charge it every day. I'd be keen to do more with the iPod if I could count on it to last more than a day.
I've read up on multiple forums and blogs for tips on prolonging a battery charge, and believe I've taken everything into account, and applied whatever I could. I've even reset the network settings and try to discharge the battery completely once a month (for supposed battery calibration).
I'm really hoping people can offer some suggestions or comments on whether this is typical behavior or if my battery is going, or even offer some additional tips.
With iOS 7 on the horizon, I'm hoping the upgrade will offer some resolutions (I've read there is better multitasking), but considering how weakly my device performs at this point, I'm not entirely convinced that an iOS upgrade will actually make any improvements.
Thanks a lot for reading.

No, the app does not have to completely restart. It gets shifted in its open state into storage. Similar to how a computer uses the hard disk when it has insufficient memory.
What complicates things is that sometimes memory does not get returned for reuse when you close an app. Thus yo should periodically double click the Home button and "delete" unnecessary apps from the multitasking dock and power off and then back on the iPod.

ITunes 11 wifi sync will not recognize my iPad 2 and iPhone 4 running iOS 6

Since I upgraded to iTunes 11, iTunes no longer recognizes my iPad 2 and iPhone 4 (both running iOS 6.0.1) as active devices for the purposes of wifi sync. It does, however, recognize my iPad 1 running iOS 5. The only way I can sync my iPad 2 or iPhone 4 is to attach the USB cable.
The older version of iTunes 10 started exhibiting this behavior when iOS 6 was released, but I was able to get iTunes to recognize the devices by powering them off and then back on.
Is anyone else experiencing this issue? Some advice from Apple would be appreciated.

Guys, I just performed the Itunes update and experienced the same (honestly I was expecting it),
My sollution was, clear up caches on both iPad 2 and iTunes.
Exactly what I did was the following:
1. Update iTunes.
2. Deactivate the home sharing on iTunes.
3. Disconect iPad from home sharing.
4. On iTunes>Preferences>Devices "Allow" the automatic sync for iPod, iPhone & iPad
5. Click on the button labeled "restart synchronization historical" (sorry, don't know how the button looks in English, mine is in Spanish)
6. Click Ok
7. To clear up iPad's caché I force reset the device by pressing and hold both buttons on the device (front and top)
8. Activate the home sharing on both devices again and voilá... there is my full blues collection again!
Maybe for some people it will work this way just fine and for others by doing in a different order, after all for what I see is a caché issue.
Let me know if it was of any help, I'm more PC than mac but network issues are the same and I'm more than glad to help and learn any time.

Today I deleted an email services I no longer need. Now when I go to the notes app I no longer have any notes. Is there any way to get my notes back. I have the first iPad running iOS 5.1.1

Ah, well, then the notes are probably gone. Did you save any of the email from that account on your computer? The notes might be there if you did.
