Auto time setting is missing in my iphone

I am travelling a lot and I have to adjust the time manually in each new city. I read that i can let iphone to update the time automatically but I did not find the option to do that under settings/general/date and time.
is there any patch or update that can enable this feature.
My iphone is 3GS and my carrier is Zain-Kuwait.
Appreciate any help.

is there any patch or update that can enable this feature.
No. Your carrier must support this feature - setting the date and time automatically by their cell towers. This is supported by AT&T in the U.S. but if I travel to a country where this isn't supported by the carrier I'm using when roaming internationally, the date and time will not be set automatically on my iPhone.

IPhone auto time setting error

Hi,
I have a problem with my iPhone 4 (iOS7) with T-mobile plan.
From few hour ago, my phone keep setting another timezone (not random, always the same one).
I really did my best to fix it like below :
- setting > general > date and time > turn off and turn on the automatic setting : it was changed to right time zone, but after 30 seconds, it returned to the wrong time zone
- setting > general > reset > network reset : the same result
- settint > general > reset > location and warning reset : the same result
- reboot the phone (with sleep mode button + home button, sleep mode button only) : the same result
- syncing with mac book which has a right time zone setting : not working
I've lost now. What should I do?
I don't want to set it manually everytime I move. Help me.

Try this reset ...
Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings

Auto Time Set

I just bought and received an iPad 4. I can get everything to set up but the time. It will not auto-set like the iPhone does. It keeps detecting the Time Zone and nothing happens. My location services are on. Am I missing a step?

Hi!
I understand your issue and I'll do my best to solve the problem.
Firstly check that you have an internet connection.
Than go to settings>general>date and time> turn set automaticly to on. It may take some time to recognize your time zone.
If that still doesn't work turn set automaticly to off and manualy enter your time zone. Try turning set automaticly to on.

IPhone 5 won't hold Date & Time "set automatically."

Date & Time, when "set automatically," arbitrarily resets itself to a date and time in August.
Setting Date & Time manually works fine.
There is a thread on this glitch on the Apple Forums. It's happening in all time zones.
Apple says it's a Verizon issue.
Verizon claims it's an Apple software problem.
Anyone got a definitive answer for this?

This is the same info I posted in the Apple forum about my attempts to resolve this issue so far...
So this is what I have tried...
Turn off Auto Time and set time manually.... Fail
Reset All Settings (under General menu).... Fail
Leave disconnected from Wi-Fi.... Fail
Restore software and set up from back up.... Fail
Restore and set up as new phone... Fail
Replace phone at Apple Store... Fail
Replace sim card at Verizon store.... Fail
Restore firmware using a fresh downloaded file... Fail
Restore firmware and set up from scratch with a new iTunes account without downloading any apps, contacts or anything.... Fail
I have verified the date/time settings on my 2 month old MacBook Pro I use to sync phones
I have verified the date/time settings on my Linksys router (not that that matters because the time changes when its not connected to the router)
All of the above has been done on both a white and a black 16gig iPhone 5 on Verizon...
The date/time for both is always behind 14 days 18 hours 48 minutes and 19 seconds so that tells me it is keeping time with something... Lets collectively compile all this info so we can get to the bottom of this problem and get it worked out quickly

Auto answer setting in iphone 3G

I ride a motorbike and have a bluetooth system to my helmet. I have the phone in the back of the bike or in my pocket. Phone rings but I can't answer it because of where the phone is located. I know with the other phones i have had in the past they had a setting to auto answer the phone after 3 rings when connected to a bluetooth headset. Is this possible running 3.0 on the iphone.
I realy don't want to have to purchase any more equipment to get this to work.

Short answer: Regrettably, not from the iPhone itself. There are a couple Bluetooth earpieces that have an auto answer option and will work with the iPhone (Cardo S-800, some BlueAnt models). I have tried both, but have found them not to fit well with my ear, so I keep on using a Nokia 6300 and Jabra BT 5020.
I have numerous times asked Apple to include auto answer as an option on the iPhone (through http://www.apple.com/support/feedback/), but without tangible results. I would suggest that any who wish this feature also ask for it through the above mechanism. Perhaps numerous requests will bring results.

How to sync iPhone with iTunes for first time without setting up as a new iPhone

I have an iPhone 5 that I have never sync:ed with iTunes on my Mac, I have just set it up and purchased apps etc from the iPhone itself.
Now I would like to sync with iTunes for the first time with the iPhone but when I connect it, iTunes asks me if I want to setup the iPhone as a new iPhone (I assume form scratch) or from a backup from other iPhones that have been sync:ed with my Mac.
Now I dont want to setup this iPhone from scratch and erase everything thats on it, I just want to sync with my Mac, download apps, music etc. How do I do that and get beyoind the first screen that asks about setting up as a new iPhone ?
/Kjell

Hi I think I've found a workarround. I'm currently copying all files on my iPhone to the new PC using this program: http://www.getsharepod.com/download/
After all files are copied I think I can enable sync in the new iTunes and delete the iPhone, then add the copied files in new playlists.
I'll let you know.

Airplay icon missing? first time set up

first time setting up apple tv. air play icon missing from my ipad 2, also the remote is controling my mac book. please help

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Make sure your iPad and Apple TV have the latest software and restart the io ad if necessary.
If you don't want to use a remote with your computer the easiest thing to do is just to turn the IR off. (System_Preferences/Security/General)
If you still want to use your computer remote then you must pair your computers remote with the computer AND the Apple TV remote with the Apple TV.
To pair a remote with a device hold down the menu and FF buttons together for six seconds or until you see a chain icon on screen (best take the computer into another room, or turn it off, when you do this)

Its a 5S,I couldnt automatically connect to an already paired bluetooth device the next time.Have to forget that device then re establish each time.Am i missing any setting that does it ?Also

Its a 5S,I couldnt automatically connect to an already paired bluetooth device the next time.Have to forget that device then re establish each time.Am i missing any setting that does it ?Also if i turn on the bluetooth via settings and turn off it via control center,the settings page still reflects its on ,is that a bug in IOS ?

What kind of Bluetooth device?
When you turn it off in Control Center, are you looking at the Settings page? If so, you need to close control center for it to reflect the change. When you turn Bluetooth off in Control Center and look on the Status Bar, what do you see? Do you see the gray Bluetooth icon? If you have Settings closed and turn Bluetooth off on the Control Center and then open the Settings app, do you still see Bluetooth enabled?

my ipod setting are missing softwhere update and it takes time to do from computer what do i do my ipod is 3g and i want ios 5?

Until your iPod Touch is using iOS 5 or higher there is no way to upgrade without using iTunes on your syncing computer.

HT4993 When I send Outlook invites to my iPhone (via email) the appointments appear 3 hours earlier? The time setting appears to be EST which is accurate so I can't figure out why the appointments don't appear in real time. Thanks for your help, Ellen

1) The best way to relocate the iTunes library folder is to move the entire iTunes folder with all subfolders to the new path, then press and hold down shift as start iTunes and keep holding until prompted to choose a library, then browse to the relocated folder and open the file iTunes Library.itl inside it.
If you've done something different then provide some more details about what is where and I should be able to help.
2) Purchases on the device should automatically transfer to a Purchased on <DeviceName> playlist, but it my depend a bit on whether automatic iCloud downloads are enabled. If there is a cloudy link then the transfer might not happen. You can use File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. In iTunes you should also check out iTunes Store > Quick Links > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer.
3) Backup the device, then immediately restore it. In some cases you need to add a restore as new device into that equation. Obbviously not to be attempted until you're sure all your media is in your library. See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device should it be needed.
4) I believe there is complimentary 1 incident 90-day support with hardware purchases, but no free software support for iTunes itself. AppleCare gets you a different level of support.
