Cannot access/change APN with iPhone 4.1 (Celluar Data Networking Missing)

I updated my iPhone 3GS from 4.0 to 4.1 last night and this morning I notice when trying to retrieve mail I receive the error "You are not subscribed to a cellular data service" and I cannot access mail, the web or use any data related applications.
I do have the data plan and yesterday it was working fine. I confirmed with AT&T I do have the data plan.
I thought maybe my APN was deleted so I wanted to confirm it. But now when I access Settings->General->Network there is no "Cellular Data Networking" option and in fact it has been replaced with "Set Up Internet Tethering". I cannot access my APN settings.
I reset the network settings, rebooted and ejected/inserted the SIM card however this field/option does not return.
Questions:
1) With iOS 4.1, was the APN field moved?
2) Is there a reason it would disappear?
I confirmed I do have 4.1 and AT&T says my data plan is correct, active and did not change overnight. I simply want to confirm my APN says wap.cingular but the field is missing!
I am frustrated since all I can receive are calls and text messages but cannot retrieve mail or surf the internet.
My apologies if this is a known issue however I appreciate your direction.

Hi,
I'd like to suggest the following:
1. Perform a 'hard reboot' by pressing (and holding) the sleep/lock and home buttons simultaneously until your iphone reboots then check your settings after.
2. If that didn't work then try re-syncing with itunes (make sure you've got the latest version) and see if it pushes a 'carrier update' to your handset.
3. If the above procedures fail then you may have to redo the update process by performing a restore via itunes.
I actually do not have the option to edit the APN settings on my iPhone but this is because my carrier (Orange UK) restricts it by locking down the carrier settings file that gets pushed to all Orange UK iphones via iTunes.

    I cannot access itunes on my iphone 5 since updating to ios 7?

    Hi rickwebby,
    If you are having audio issues with your iPhone after updating to iOS 6.1.3, you may want to update to the recently released iOS 6.1.4 and see if the issue persists:

  • I cannot access Siri using my iphone 5 earphones by pressing and holding down the center button on the earphones?

    I cannot  access Siri using my iphone 5 earphones provided with my phone.  I press and hold down the center button on the earphones, but it doesn't activate Siri.

    If you had checked the settings - you might have noticed that Siri isn't in the settings either. Siri is in the settings on the iPad 3, the iPad 4 and on the Mini.

  • Cannot access site ending with #

    Some links within sites end with #. i cannot access these sites with firefox. IE works fine. i have 3.6.3 with Java 6.0.200.2
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    You must have been disabled scripts in this site.
    I'm using No-Script.
    At first I blocked all scripts @firstdirect.com
    and when clicked on: internet banking
    it sent me to #
    Then I enabled all the scripts @firstdirect.com
    and when clicked on: internet banking
    it sent me to login site.
    So please make sure that you haven't blocked the site from using scripts (which is probably the problem here).
    Post if still need help.

  • Suddenly, I cannot sync my Boselink with iPhone. Iphone 4s says Bose sound...not connected. I JUST updated software to iOS 6.1.3. Why isn't this working? I can not play pandora on my Bose.

    Suddenly, I cannot sync my Boselink with iPhone. Iphone 4s says Bose sound...not connected. I JUST updated software to iOS 6.1.3. Why isn't this working? I can not play pandora on my Bose.

    They are absolutely now paired after doing all you said, as I reset both the Bose Link and the Iphone.  Now we have a pair, but no sound on the speaker or the iphone when they are connected. I know they are connected b/c the iphone says they are in the blue tooth setting AND the Bose has a solid blue tooth light on. 
    Now what?  This is beyond frustrating and only happened when I UPDATED ios!
    Thank you!

  • Cannot access iTunes Store from iPhone 4. Message says 'Your iTunes password was incorrect. Please try again'. I have tried resetting the password on my macbook

    Cannot access iTunes Store from iPhone 4. Message says 'Your iTunes password was incorrect. Please try again'. I have tried resetting the password on my macbook. What should I do?

    I'm having the same problem as well.  I use keychain access often to remind me of my passwords and was happy (initially) to see one for "iphone backup".  When I entered it I got the same error message: 
    "The password you entered to unlock your iPhone backup file was incorrect. Please try again."
    Really frustrating.
    I searched many ways online, finally I tried "iPhone Backup Unlocker" to help me unlock encrypted backup password efficiently!

  • Cannot access MobileMe email with my Palm T/X

    I cannot access my email with my Palm software..getting error message saying to use PC or Mac browser. Any suggestions on how I can use my Palm browser to access my mobileMe mail?
    Thanks.

    Hello mgrschizo, Welcome to the Palm Support Community.
    There is no legal way to download the Installation Disk for the TX, due to the fact you've already mentioned - it contains copywritten software that is not "free for the taking".  You can purchase the latest version of Docs to Go from Dataviz.com.
    Usedpdaparts.com appears to still have some of the disks for sale though:

  • Cannot access music purchased with an earlier email ID

    I cannot access music purchased with an earlier email that is no longer valid.  Do you know how I sync all my e-mail addresses under one ID?

    Perhaps iTunes Store Support could help you:

    ... but the key to success will very likely be to figure out that password.  Then you would be able to authorize that account in iTunes.

  • I cannot access my words with friends on my ipad.  For a brief second it shows a saying "updating this will take a few minutes".  It has now been 15 hours.  What can I do?

    I cannot access my words with friends on my ipad.  For a brief second a screen will come saying "updating this will take a few minutes" .  It has been 15 hours!  What can I do?

    That means the person you are playing doesn't have the app on their phone!!  And they can only play on the PC?
    How about asking the person your playing if they have the app or not.
    If you don't want help here, you can more than ask the WWF developer why your having trouble.
    You can take your attitude somewhere else!!

  • I cannot retrieve the password for the wifi connection on my imac and so cannot access the internet with my ipad at home.  I have a cable modem. Help please!

    I cannot retrieve the password for the wifi connection on my imac and so cannot access the internet with my ipad at home.  I have a cable modem. Help please!

    If you mean that you cannot remember the password for your WiFi network this will work for you - or it should work if you are the administrator on the Mac.
    You will need to be logged in as the administrator on your Mac and you must know the password - Open Keychain Access on your Mac in the utilities folder, click on Passwords. Find the Airport Network Password listed on the right. Double click on it. Click on show password in the the window that pops up. Enter your administrator password when prompted and click allow.
    If Keychain is locked - you must enter the administrator password there as well to unlock it and access the password.
    If you have set the Mac up for Internet Sharing for the iPad to share the Mac's connection, just create a new network On the Mac with Internet sharing and a new password.

    Face time with wifi only.  I have a 4Gs iPhone traveling to Japan.  Can I use face time with another 4Gs or IMacback in the States using just wifi and with I have my Celluar Data and Data Roaming off?

    Thanks,  After changing my settings in face time per your suggestion, (it needed to be done),  I turned off cellular data and data roaming and made a call using face time.  It worked!  Great way to stay in touch while overseas without the need for those egregious phone data plans.

  • HT5934 IPad 2 cannot access wifi, even with the correct password.

    My iPad 2 does not accept the password it should when trying to access the wifi access available at my employer. Once my employer removed his password protection from his wifi router, my iPad accepted the wifi. An iPhone  accepted the  same password today... It hesitated a bit longer than we expected, however, it did access the wifi router. We've tried multiple times, my employer uses Macs, and he's tried accessing his wifi with my iPad... He's even changed the name on his wifi, checked all settings, crosschecked that the password is a valid password, still, my iPad gives me an error "incorrect password ".  It only makes sense if we were using an incorrect password, but we weren't! Help!
