  • How can I improve my phone signal most of the time I have no service

    How can I improve my signal - my old android phone had a brilliant signal however more often than not I have no signal on the iphone

    Like Peter said, attitude doesn't help, we need all the information possible to construct a picture of whats going on. Plus, the number of people here to help that are from the UK is limited, so chill out, drink some tea, have a scone and then lets talk
    Anyways, since you're in Europe, are you using a provider that uses EE's towers? or EE themselves?
    I ask because some MVNO providers are only licensed to use one spectrum. I know this because of the provider 3/Three. Coming from a stay Austria, I can use any 3 partner network but only on 3G, not LTE, 4G, or GSM.
    But since it's a service issue, talk to your provider accordingly. Ask them what frequency bands are coming from the tower you're nearest to, or you can check it out yourself with the Field Test Mode.

  • How can I improve reception?

    I have a MiFi 5110L and live in a rural area.  How can I improve reception so pages don't freeze and go unresponsive so frequently?

    I routinely get -100dBm reception.  I don't usually get an error message; I
    just drop from 3G to 1X.  I'm in 85545.  I've found I get better reception
    in the motorhome than I do in the house.  I had such a hard time getting
    the sim card in the first time I'm hesitant to take it out, but if I keep
    having problems, I'll try that.  I know that living so rural means I don't
    get the same reception as I would in a metro area.  Would installing an
    antenna of some sort help reception?  What type of antenna should I install?
    Thanks for the help.

    how can I improve the speed of my Macbook?  It's become incredibly slow...

    Hi,
    Troubleshooting Steps are... Restart...  Reset...  Restore from Backup...  Restore as New...
    Try a Reset of the Phone... You will Not Lose Any Data...
    Turn the Phone Off...
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    The Apple logo will Appear and then Disappear...
    Usually takes about 10 - 15 Seconds...
    Turn the Phone On...
    If that does not help... See Here:

    You are talking about the menu bar of Itunes, right?
    Yes. With iTunes open the menu bar is at the top of your screen.
    where exactly is the Store/synck you iphone option?
    After you authorize the computer connect your iPhone then follow the instructions here > iOS: How to transfer or sync content to your computer
    When you are done transferring the data to the desktop, right or control click the iPhone under Devices left side of the iTunes window then click Back Up.
    That way you will have a backup just in case you need to restore your iPhone.

  • How can I improve the stability of itunes64bit 8.0.2 on my Vista system?

    Vista Home Premium: iTunes64bit: application crashes after adding album photos and then changing views (list, Album, split) or clicking on different playlists and back to the entire music library.
    The library has 42,000 items (mostly music) so it is quite large. At launch it takes a long time for itunes to load and display. There is no user cues telling me it is running. It simply displays after 60 or more seconds.
    Then I start working in the library, pasting pictures to multiple items, modifying album titles.
    After doing a few management tasks on my music items and navigating back and forth between the music library and playlist (changing views), the application stop being responsive and according to the log, the app just plainly crashes.
    Sometimes I can restart successfully but most of the times, I need to stop the itunes service or log-out before I can restart it successfully.
    I am using itunes64bit 8.0.2
    I am running it on a machine equipped with 4GB of ram and the library lives on a 500GB external hard drive plugged-in through USB 2.0.

    How can I get the phone numbers in contacts to appear with dashes between the first 3 numbers, the next 3 numbers, and the last 4 numbers?  Until very recently
    it did so.  Contacts on my macbook pro does show up this way.  I do have a mobile me account and in the past syncing was no problem.  What setting has changed?

    The phone number format as well as the date language and format and the time format are controlled by the Region Format setting. Go to Settings > General >International > Region Format.  When you change a region format, you can go back one page (to International) and see an example of the date/time/phone number format that your selected region format will produce.

  • HT5622 We have two iphones with the same Apple ID. Since I installed iOS this morning I have started receiving all my sons texts and when I send him a text it is delivered to both of us. How can I remove my phone from the joint Apple ID and remove myself

    My son and I both have iphones with the same Apple ID. Since I installed iOS this morning I have started receiving all my sons texts and when I send him a text it is delivered to both of us. How can I remove my phone from the joint Apple ID and remove myself from finding out what he is up to during Freshers week!

    You have to use a different Apple ID for your son.

  • I was trying to get the iOS 8.2 on my iPhone 5 but then it stopped and my phone is now on recovery mode I have pictures I need and they did not all fit on iCloud  how can I use the phone again with ALL my pictures and videos without restoring it?

    Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service.
    Pictures taken with the device are designed to regularly be copied off the device to a computer as would be done with any digital camera.
    If you have failed to use the device as designed it may be too late to recovery anything.
    Is the device regularly backed up to a computer via iTunes?  If so, the most recent backup (when restored to a replacement iOS device) should contain all contacts and pictures as of when the backup was created.

  • I recently transferred my ipnone service from at&t to another carrier the phone worked fine until i tried to up it with itunes i now have a frozen itunes logo and a plug on the screens my phone is a iphone 3g how can i get my phone to work again?

    my ipone 3g is frozen with aitunes logo and plug after i tried to update it from apple. the phone worked fine even thou i changed carriers from at&t to Simple celleur. How can i get my phone to work?

    As AT&T has not officially unlocked your phone it must have been hacked to use another carrier.  So when you updated it has relocked itself to AT&T. There is no official unlock so this will happen anytime you update.

  • How can i add one phone number to my macbook pro application imessage

    how can i add one phone number to my macbook pro application imessage

    Make sure that the iPad is using the same Apple ID as your iPhone. If the phone number still doesn't appear, log out of iMessage on both devices, log back in on the iPhone, wait until it activates, then log into iMessage on the iPad with the same Apple ID.

  • Somebody uses my apple id for facetime on his iphone how can i remove his phone from my account?

    somebody uses my apple id for facetime on his iphone how can i remove his phone from my account?

    Last Spring I received a couple of emails to an alias I set up a long time ago under mac mail with mac.com - not my main ID - at mac.com.   The mail had the Icloud extension.     I just deleted it.
    I then received a couple of e-mails forwarded to the same alias that came from a non-apple account that led me to search to see if the company was legit - it was.     Using a non-apple hidden account I sent that non-apple account an email informing them apparently when they registered the ID or alias as an ICLOUD extension - apple did not check for duplication in accounts or aliases that were not in the Icloud.
    I also sent feedback to Apple telling them to fix it and apparently they did - along with the person who replicated my alias.
    On this site there were a number of postings from people who also had problems with mac mail and Icloud who resolved it by contacting Apple and getting the accounts cleared up.

  • How can i remove the phone number from the text messages that i receive in the notification center

    how can i remove the phone number from the text messages that i receive in the notification center?

    You choose whether to see text messages in Notification Center or not.  If you elect to see them, they will display the phone number (unless they are from a contact in your contacts list).
    You can choose not to see them at Settings > Notification Center > Messages.

    iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music [library] to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the library.
