Carrier or ios software problem?

When attempting to surf via 3g network I lose the signal on my iphone 4s!Is this a software or a carrier problem? If I turn the cellular data off,I got a stable 2g network with no breaks at all,but I lose 3g use of course,so no internet available if not in wifi range!! Should I try to change the sim card? Should I wait for a new ios version sovling that problem? What is the most suitable type of sim card available for the iphone 4s? My carrier is Cosmote. I hope someone in here could help me out!! Thanks in advance!
P.s my devide is iphone 4S unlocked (MD model) and software version ios 5.0.1 (9A405)

Try a Restore.
If still a problem, you have a hardware problem with your 4S, a SIM card problem or your carrier doesn't have good 3G coverage in your area.

why does it make me backup my stuff when i want to update new software, but it takes atleast an hour for it to do the tiniest bit, please help?

Becaue Apple set it up to backup your iPod before an update. If it did not they after the update the iPod would be empty, like it was when new. Most users want their iPod the way it was before the update except with updated firmware.

Hi Redhazel,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
To troubleshoot this issue where you're experiencing a poor image quality with your iPhone's camera, please follow the troubleshooting below.
Camera isn't functioning or has undesired image quality
If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tappingSettings > General > Restrictions.
Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
Cases can interfere with the camera and the flash. Try gently cleaning the lens with a clean dry cloth or removing the case if you see image or color-quality issues with photos.
Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
Try to remain steady while focusing:
Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center.
Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. You can also tap to readjust focus while recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll.
Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.

My iPad 4 does not show up on my TV screen when in AirPlay mirroring mode using WiFi. The iPad displays AirPlay set to TV with the Mirroring On (green).
My iPad IOS software is 8.2 and my Apple TV software is at 7.1. The TV displays the Apple Menu. The “Settings” does however displays the General menu allowing me to see:
Apple software: 7.1 (7003)
Apple TV: Model No. A1464, Part No. MD199B/A
Signal Strength shows 5 circles.
It does not display the iPad screen but when I use the BT Sport App I can hear the sound but there is no video. I have searched the internet for a solution to no avail. The problem first arose when the IOS was at 8.1+ but it worked correctly briefly when I updated to IOS 8.2. Can you help please?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
Restart your mobile device.

How do I update the iOS software on iTunes for Windows

Hi all.
The battery life in my phone was decreasing very quickly to the point where I have turned it off with 100% at night, and wake up in the morning to have it at 0%. So yesterday, after making a few calls I got to this nice man who explained to me that it was not a problem with the battery, but I needed to update to the latest version of iOS (generally fixes the problem). I don't have enough space (and cannot clear it), so he suggested another option. I would have to use iTunes. First he told me to upload my data to iCloud. As I have not done it before, it took a while, and it did not work for a while. He sent me the link of what to do via email (Update the iOS software on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support) and hung up, after me thanking him. My cloud finally updated a little before 10PM GMT and I went to sleep. In the morning my battery was not dead, albeit it had only gone done by a few %. However, I still want to update to the newest software.
I have the latest version of iTunes on my laptop and so this morning I plugged in my phone to my laptop (using the computer - phone plug). However I cannot see where to select my device. My phone is not coming up in any corner, and it is not charging when it is plugged into my laptop either (I read somewhere that it should). So my question is, how do I select my device. It is plugged in but it not coming up for me. Please be as explicit as possible.
If it helps I have an iPhone 4s bought in December 2013.
Thank you!

I'm not sure if it should be here or in the iPhone usage forum.

My Ipod touch screen will not come up unless I conect it to the computer. It never gets past the apple logo and never fully retores? My screen is crackd a little at the bottom. Is this a screen or software problem?

My ipod touch 4will not respond unless I hook it up to the computer. It never goes pasthe logo apple screen.It never restores fully. Cant tell if this is a screen or software problem.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

HT1414 Is there any way i could restore from the backup of a new IOS software? I had to manually restore my iphone 3 and had to downgrade the IOS Software.

I backuped my iphone 3 when it had a higher IOS software. After i restored my Iphone, i eneded up having to downgrade the IOS software in order for it to fully restore. Now when i try to back up my phone, it says that my iphone is too old for the backup. If i DO upgrade the IOS, i won't be able to use my phone because it becomes too slow and wont even fully restore.
Thanks

If your phone is in recovery mode (You see the iTunes graphic on the phone), you MUST connect the device to a computer and restore the operating system. There is no supported way to get around it. The device had a problem installing the update and it crashed. Sorry.

IPhone 4 IOS software update

I was asked to update my IOS software on my iPhone 4, and now it is giving me no other option than to plug it into iTunes and restore it, I dont want to lose everything, is there anything I can do?! Please help!

The next thing to check is your router. It may be blocking the port needed to access the Apple servers. Check that ports 80 and 443 are not blocked. Your ISP may also be blocking access to the Apple servers. Verify that you can ping albert.apple.com and/or phobos.apple.com.
Also, an invalid TcpWindowSize entry in the Windows registry can cause problems. run Regedit and search for TcpWindowSize; if the entry exists this might be the problem. Export the entry and delete it, then try again. If this fixes it after updating be sure to reload the entry (by double-clicking the .reg file that you saved it to).

I am having issues with streaming music from iTunes on my MacBook Pro to my audio system through AirPlay. Works perfectly with my iPod Touch. The AirPlay icon appears irregularly in iTunes and when selected doesn't connect. Running latest IOS software.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

You said:
No, I do not want to "factory reset" my iPod. No I do not wish to do anything crazy long or hard to fix this.
That may be necessary, It is not what you want to do/not do but what is required to resolve your problem.

I am suddenly logged out from whatever program or app i am working on and i have to log back in. one solution suggested is to reset or restore of my IOS software which is quite an involved endeavor. anyone knows of the cause and simpler solution?

i find that i am suddenly logged out of program or an app or website, and i am back to the HOME screen. i have to log back in and sometimes i find back exactly where i left off, some stuff i have entered or written, or sometimes i have to start all over again and re-enter data or write back what i seem to have lost.
i tried a different browser and it does not solve the problem. i tried different apps, website and programs and it happens anywhere and at any app, program or website.
apple staff suggested a complete restore of the IOS software, which is quite an involved process. does anyone know of any possible causes and a simpler
solution without having to reset the entire IOS 7.0.6

Hello Philly,
I believe that when you reset your ipod(command given from the computer, right?) touch WHILE the ipod was updating, It cleared the system in the middle of writing files, thus corrupting(equivalent of cutting of in the middle of a sentence) the basic running system.
I suggest you go to an apple store and ask for a technical diagonosis in person. they may offer to help if the problem is fixable. If your ipod is still under warrenty, i would guess it would be free/low cost.

I phone 4 works part time. In order to get it to work I have to re-boot. My sleep button is broke so I have to plug it in to start it. I can get several calls and than no connection. All settings been checked. All my research leads to a software problem.

I phone 4 , gets calls and than does not get calls. I have to re-boot to get the phone to work. I have to keep checking to see if i am getting a signal.My sleep button is broke and I am useing the accessibility mode . Also I am using Metro P.C. as my carrier.

IOS 5 problems [reply all problems HERE]

Please reply all iOS 5 problems here so Apple can read them and fix.
my iOS 5 problem is that I can't listen my music on iphone.
when i click play nothing happens.

Yesterday, I wanted to update both my iPhone 4 and our iPad to ios 5 and boy this turned out to be a 5 hour affair with only the iPhone successfully installed. Initially, I had to update my iTunes to 10.5 which requested a PC reboot. Coincidentally Microsoft also had 8 updates requiring installation when I rebooted - already 45 mins lost. With iTunes 10.5 successfully installed, we then proceeded to install ios 5 on the iPad. The software downloaded OK (700MB plus and lots of activity on the Apple servers), the download speeds were slow. OK, an hour later and now ready to install, except there was an error after error after ........error message, all completely meaningless and then something about not being able to make contact with the Apple servers to verify ..... whatever.
Against my better judgement, now tried to install ios 5 on my iPhone 4. And again, the 700MB download (another 60 mins), backup of the iPhone and then installation and then for some reason the restore was interrupted/continued three to four times. Sometimes the Apple device lost connection with my laptop (was the cable faulty? Never before...., sometimes an uninitiated reboot was required (and not requested) to keep things moving along.
Apple, are you there? What went wrong? We're just as devasted as you all are that Steve is no longer around but is this a tribute? This kind of performance is what Microsoft provided a decade ago! Is this good enough?
A slightly less Apple enthusiast today!
