Data stops intermittantly on iPhone 5

I have had an iPhone 5 for a few weeks now and I have found that the data plan seems to drop off intermittanly. It doesn't have a warning and it does not come back unless I restart the phone. It happens most frequently when I am in and LTE area and then travel out of that area and into a 4g area. Of course it isn't consistant and therefore I have been missing text messages and other data related updates regularly. I have reset the network settings on my phone at the apple store with a rep there and it still does the same thing. Does anyone have any suggestions for this issue?
More info:
When it is not registering data it only shows bars and does not show any data information like 4G or LTE next too the bars.
I am located in the Denver metro area
I had no issues with any previous iPhones in the same areas and others who have iPhones in the same areas as me never have this issue, though none of them have a 5
All updates have been done so the phone is current on software

I am no longer having an issue! I went to the apple store, they first tried to reset my network settings, when that didn't work they replaced my SIM card. That also didn't work so the did a full reinstall on the phones OS. That also didn't work. When they got through all this they determined that the antenna is having an issue and replaced the phone. It took about 4 trips to the store but I now have a phone that works consistently.

Mobile data stops working on iphone 5

This always happens on my phone, the mobile data stops working after a while and it can only be fixed by restarting the phone. Is anyone else having this problem?

Yes, I have this problem, but I am getting nowhere with either Apple or AT&T technical support. I had a 4s for two years that worked fine. Updated to the 5 and use the same applications and am in the same location, but have to restart my phone 3-5 times a day. Tried all the recommended solutions, up to replacing SIM and the phone, but nothing has resolved the issue.

Why does Data (wifi) stop coverage when IPhone 5C plugged in for recharging?

Why does the Data (wifi) stop working when IPhone 5c plugged in for recharging?

It does not, or should not.
Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

Intermittent data-speed issues with iPhone 4S

I am using an iPhone 4S (64), iOS-5.1, AT&T carrier.
Occasionally, when using Safari, there will be no response when I try to bring up a website, even when I'm showing full bars and 4G coverage. The "whirligig" wheel just keeps on spinning and spinning until the website-load times out. This problem is intermittent, but occurs semi-regularly. There seems to be no correlation with the strength of the signal I'm receiving, or my location, and I know that I have not had my data speed "throttled" as a result of being a heavy data user. I called the Apple Helpdesk one time and received the advice that I should, when this happens, go to >Settings, >General, >Reset, >Reset Network Settings. Although this usually works, it's inconvenient, and I'm seeking a more permanent solution.

Last month I checked the data usage on my iPhone 4S three days after the start of a new billing cycle. To my shock I discovered that I had been charged with about 193 MB of usage. That was very odd because 193 MB is well above what my total data usage is each month. Immediately contacted AT&T Customer Service--twice. Each time they could not provide an explanation as to why the data usage was charged to my phone. All they could tell me was that all of the 193 MB were charged on the very day the new billing cycle started. They did try to sell me a larger data plan.
I thought maybe this was just an odd thing that couldn’t be explained. Kept a close eye on my data usage for the reminder of the billing cycle and didn’t have another large data charge. I still stayed well under the 300 MB plan limit even with the unexpected 193 MB of usage on day one.
Then my wife checks her iPhone 4S data usage on day one of this month's billing cycle at about 9 AM. She finds that she has been charged with 30 MB of data usage when she hasn't even used her phone. Again, 9 AM; day one of new billing cycle; 30 MB of usage; no active applications running. How can this be? She contacted AT&T Customer Service and once again they were no help. She made two phone calls and also spoke with one CS Manager, but no one could explain why she has been charged for the 30 MB. Anyone else having this problem? Please help us resolve this if you know what to do? Extremely frustrating to be charged for data we know we are not using. Getting no help from AT&T Customer No-Service.

How can I debug a problem with the 3g data connection on my iPhone 4s?

This question didn't get any answers in the "Using iPhone" forum. Thought I would re-ask here. Note, I had to reset the network again today 2 days after the last reset:
I've been having intermittent problems with my 3g data connection on my iPhone 4s on ATT. Whenever this happens I see full bars etc, but can't browse from safari or get any data in other apps. My wife's iPhone 4 right next to me has no issues at all. Switching on/off airplane mode and turning off/on Cellular Data does not help. The only thing that helps is resetting the Network Settings or hard restarting the phone.
I figured my problems were hardware related so I took my phone in for a replacement the other day. Things started out fine but after I upgraded it to 5.01 and restored my backup and now I am back to having the same issue today. I assume the issue is with something coming from my backup / restore but is there any way for me to pinpoint what could be causing the issue. I have a lot of apps, I'd rather not have to reinstall and set them all backup manually, but I would if I knew that would fix the problem... but for all I know one of the apps could be causing it.
Anyone have any logs I can check or testing I can do on my end?
Thanks!

Unfortunately, Apple does not make any logs available to the average schmoe (like us) for networking, kernel dumps, or anything else (assuming, of course, it is not jailbroken).
Your best bet is to take it back into the store. Ask them to look at the notes in GCRM regarding the last time this occured, then explain after upgrading to 5.01 it is occuring again. Then ask them for a phone swap since it is a reoccuring issue and doesn't sound like an OS/SW issue. Good luck!

Macbook pro retina 13 late 2013, usb ports are intermittent with iPhone

Macbook pro retina 13 late 2013, usb ports are intermittent with iPhone
when i connect my iPhone 5 to the laptop it keeps connecting and disconnecting, I've had this problem since owning the macbook. change of cables makes no difference neither does which port i use.
is there any advice anyone could give me?
many thanks.

Hello there Jake,
It sounds like your phone is acting like you are connecting and disconnecing it over and over again even with another USB cable. I would use the troubleshooting in the following article to help you determine what the issue might be.
iTunes: Resolve USB-related alerts
See if the cable connection at the device or computer has come loose or unplugged.
Unplug the cable you're using to connect your iOS device from the USB port on your computer, and then reconnect it. Then unplug it from your iOS device, and reconnect it.
Remove any third-party battery packs or cases from the device and ensure that the USB cable is connected directly to the port on the device.
If your Lightning or 30-pin cable is connected to a keyboard, display or USB hub, try plugging it directly into a USB port on the computer instead.
Close any virtualization apps (such as Parallels or VMWare).
These apps may interfere with your computer's ability to communicate over USB if they aren't properly configured, or up to date. If this resolves the issue, contact the developer of the app to see if an update is available.
Restart your computer.
Restart your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
If your iOS device displays the Connect to iTunes screen, reset your device and then restore it.
If you're using an accessory or third-party cable to connect your device, try using an Apple cable with the device instead.
Update to the latest version of iTunes if you haven't already.
Disconnect other USB devices from your computer, except for your keyboard and mouse. Then, reconnect your iOS device. If the issue is resolved, reconnect the other USB devices one at a time. Make sure your iOS device is still recognized by the computer after adding back each device.
If one of these steps resolves the issue, but it comes back later, make sure you haven't changed how the device is connected. For example, check to see if you plugged the device into a specific accessory, or used a specific cable that reintroduced the issue.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

How do I get my data from my old iphone to a new iphone?

Hi
I backed-up the data from my old iphone via itunes onto my computer. Now, I have "restored" the replacement iphone- or so I thought. There is none of my old info onto this new phone. Help. I am at a loss. Where do I go to get all of my old data- contacts, apps, music, etc...
Thanks,
Cat

Nope.
Something went wrong.
I've done it twice now and followed the directions on http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
Doesn't work. I have no contacts indicated and no notes, etc... from my old iphone.
I have an iphone 4 - so there is no SIM card. Maybe I didn't back up the data properly from the old iphone. I haven't deleted anything yet so I guess I could do the whole process over...
No clue.

I had to erase my data to upgrade my iPhone software from an older version. I backed up first, but seem to have lost all my notes. Does anyone know how retrieve my old notes?

Is this the note you are referring to:
Not sure if this can help you.
I checked my notes. They are stored here:
MacintosHD/Users/MYHOME/Library/Containers/com.apple.notes/Data/Library/CoreData /ExternalRecords/
xxxxxserie.of.numbers.probably.yours.are.different/IMAPNote/_records/0/
If I go tot this window on finder and enter Time Machine I can go back and find old notes...
If so, am I doing this on my new hard drive on on the time machine? When I do this on the time machine, what is "my home"? Also, I am unable to find "containers".
If I go to users/jeff/library, then I see components, compositions, contextual, etc, but not containers.
Thanks

Why has Siri stopped working on iPhone 4 after upgrading to IOS 5?

Why has Siri stopped working on iPhone 4 after upgrading to IOS 5? I've tried the disable and reboot but continue to get the network error.

Apple has not been forthcoming on the explanation. My Siri worked on my iphone4 (not 4s) immediately after upgrading to IOS5, but I take it they have redirected the servers that used to support Siri to only work with Iphone4s.
It is one thing for apple to only bundle the improved Siri with IPhone 4S, or for them to remove Siri from the Ap store.
But it is another thing all together for apple to purchase a company, and then cease the service that many of us paid for.
Attempts to contact apple at apple store and via email have been unhelpful.

ITunes stopped recognizing my iPhone after upgrading to Leopard.

I recently upgraded from Tiger to Leopard, and iTunes (8.0.2) stopped recognizing my iPhone while iPhoto still works with my iPhone (I was able to download photos from my phone using iPhoto).
What's going on?
It's crazy! When iPhoto recognizes my iPhone, either iTunes or iSync doesn't reads the phone. It doesn't even give any error messages.
I did every solution I found on the net. Repair permission, Remove Local folder in Library.. etc..etc.. none of them worked.

After upgrading from Tiger (10.4.x) to Leopard (10.5.0=>10.5.6), my iPod Touch is no longer recognized by iTunes 8.0.2. The iPod Touch no longer appears in iTunes' "source list" (left side pane in iTunes' GUI).
Immediately prior to that upgrade, my iPod Touch was working great with Tiger (10.4.x). iTunes 8.0.2 recognized it (listed it in sources) and always synchronized with it successfully.''
My iPod Touch is also not shown in the Finder. However, it does show up as recognized in iPhoto.
Any ideas on how to get the iPod recognized again in iTunes under Leopard?

I'm waiting for my new iPhone 5s to be delivered. I lost my iPhone 5 but did have it backed up on my MacBook Pro. I was using iOS6 at the time. Will I have a problem restoring the data to my new iPhone 5s assuming it will come with iOS7?

No, you should not. There are problems trying to go the other way, but updating a newer iOS release from a backup of an older iOS release has always been supported and is the basic means of setting up a new device from a previous one.

In this case you won't be able to do that?

HT201269 Is there a way to download/port the missing data/SMS to one iPhone without overwriting the new SMS on the newer iPhone?

SMS Transferring/downloading/backup : Is there a way to download/port the missing data/SMS to one iPhone without overwriting the new SMS on the newer iPhone? Here is my dilemma. My iPhone quit working and I couldn’t get it fixed as quickly as I needed to. I bought a used iPhone and started using it normally and downloaded the backup from itunes/icloud. There was a large gap in data where the first iPhone didn’t backup when I thought it had. I have SMS data on both phonesnow and I need them for a court hearing. I have since had the other iPhone repaired and working perfectly. Will downloading a backup wipe out the newer SMS data? I am nervous because I can’t lose the information or my case mey be compromised. Any “Real Help” including programs that work to accomplish this would be very helpful. Thank You in advance…

No, direct access to manipulating the phone's filesystem is not permitted for 3rd party apps in the iOS. It can't be done without hacking the phone, which you certainly don't want to do. The messages can be combined and viewed on your computer, but not on a single phone.

Restoring Apps AND Data back to "New" iPhone

I just got an iPhone 3GS a few weeks ago and, since I'd been using an iPod Touch for a year, I simply transferred over that data to my new iPhone using "restore from backup." Somewhere along the way I was also prompted to upgrade to iPhone 3.1.2. However, the whole time I've been using my iPhone it's been freezing up a bit, responding sluggishly (sometimes taking a few seconds), or refusing to send mail even when it has perfect reception. I'm getting sick of this and it seems pointless.
I DO have a lot of apps, but I doubt that's really the problem. I am thinking I should finally bite the bullet and wipe the phone, restore and set up as a "new iPhone." But I'm very worried I won't be able to get back my Application DATA-- all that juicy stuff I have stored in my budget apps, databases, etc. Is there any way to restore my iPhone to factory settings and then reinstall these apps including all their data, but without dragging whatever might be corrupt and slowing things down?

OK, thanks for the quick reply, that's quite helpful. Just to clarify, then: Do you think it would mean anything then to do a restore of my iPhone to factory settings and then reimport from the previous backup? Would it reset anything or would it basically end up reproducing the iPhone as it was before I started the process?
If it's not going to do anything to improve the situation, I guess there's no point in doing it that way, and maybe I should try some Genius Bar help or just sacrificing some app data in order to get the iPhone up to speed first for ongoing use.

Hi...i bought the new iphone 4 and would like to ask how can i transfer all my data from my old iphone to the new one? If I will do "synchronization" through itunes with the old phone and the plug in the new one will that be the case?
