HT1222 iOS 6.1 on my iPhone 4S...says searching....

I have just downloaded the new iOS 6.1 on my iPhone 4S.  Now my phone will not pick up a signal and only says "searching..." in top left corner.  I usually always have either wi-fi or 4G service and now I have none.  What could have happened?

I have this issue too, it says Unable to Check for Update
An error occurred while checking for a software update.
Both on my device and my computer.

  • Why does my iphone steady say "searching"...i erased everything and now it wont activate because it says "Searching" in the top left corner

    Why does my iphone steady say "searching"...i erased everything and now it wont activate because it says "Searching" in the top left corner..PLEASE HELP ASAP!!!

    1. Close all inactive apps in the Task Bar. Double-click the Home button and hold apps down for a second or two. Tap the minus sign to close app.
    2. Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple Logo.

  • HT1766 My iphone constantly says searching

    I cannot make or receive calls - my phone constantly says searching. Any ideas what's wrong?

    I am sure by now you have sorted your problem but if not I think I can help. For the last three weeks I have been pulling my hair out trying to solve the same problem. I tried refreshing the network connection several times. I tried a reboot by holding down the home button. I tried turning on and off airplane mode but still my iPhone 4 kept searching. It sometimes made a connection but soon lost it again. I contacted my service provider EE and after several attempts to solve the problem they sent me a new sim card but the fault was still there. Today I THINK I HAVE FIXED IT after reading the help line I connected my phone to iTunes, backed up my information on my PC then used the iTunes option to RESTORE my phone. It took ages to do and even when completed the phone still seemed to have the fault but them like magic I again reset my network connection again and hey presto since then my phone has had a constant connection. I know its early days it is Seven o'clock at night and I only did this this afternoon but I am keeping my fingers crossed. I was getting to the point where I wanted to throw my phone in the bin but now it has a new lease of life and hopefully it will last until I get a look at the new iPhone 6. My faith, at least for the moment, has been restored(quite literally) in Apple. Good luck with your problem to anyone who reads this.RB

  • My iPhone 5s says "searching".

    I read in a troubleshooting forum a list of things to do to your phone, and I did all of it, including restoring it. It still says "searching", please help!!

    Hello mbrose,
    After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice concerning cellular network issues:
    iPhone: Troubleshooting No Service
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4429
    Your iPhone might have one of these symptoms:
    iPhone displays "No Service" in an area of good coverage
    iPhone doesn't regain service when returning to an area of coverage
    iPhone displays "Searching" in the status bar, and when you go to Settings > General > About, Modem Firmware is blank

  • IOS 7 - why does my iphone 4S say I have purchased items which have not been transferred?

    I downloaded iOS 7 to iTunes (11.1) and synced my iPhone (4S), but when I try to update, I get an alert saying that I have puchased items on my iPhone which are not in my iTunes library and that I should transfer them before upgrading.   I have synced several times, but I still get this warning.  Why is this happening, and what should I do about it?

    I found the answer here. https://discussions.apple.com/message/23036528#23036528

  • Iphone keeps saying searching nothing fix it

    i have a iphone and its on 3.1.2 and i have restored it and factory restored it to help the problem is when ever i put in my sim card the phone shows the bars for like 3 seconds then goes way ad stays on searching or on no service i live in a area with 4 bars so its not the signal.. i need help plz cuz i stuck using my old phone

    im on 3.1.3 after resetting to factory settings and it is doing the EXACT same thing. It must be some kind of software glitch. Let me know if you find any answers to this issue. I am afraid it has something to do with the phase-out of iphone OG. It gets full bars, then vanishes. My wife has a 3GS and she has full bars. Weird. If I find anyhing, I will let you know!

    That's not a battery recharge sign. It's telling you your phone is in recovery mode and you need to plug it into your computer running iTunes.

  • HT1222 Hello,after the last apdate iOS 7.1.1 my iphone has stop work with the bose dock station. why it is happens?

    Hello,after the last apdate iOS 7.1.1 my iphone has stop work with the bose dock station. why it is happens?

    Natan turbo hadar,
    I have the same exact problem.
    I put an iPod shuffle on the Bose system, it plays just fine.
    My iPhone 4s works just fine connected to my car stereo.
    My iPhone 4s on the Bose will charge, it "thinks" it's playing, song shows, time line shows it's playing, can pause if I touch the phone's screen.
    The remote for the Bose WILL NOT pause it, forward to next song, etc. It does work with the iPod shuffle.
    So it's not the Bose, it's not connections, it's the iOS 7.1.1
    Everything worked fine before, any one else have suggestions?

    Hello Sean,
    It sounds like you are constantly needing to restore your phone because it keeps going into recovery mode. Usually putting a device into recovery mode and restoring it can help isolate an issue to your iPhone hardware if an issue persists afterwards. I would try manually putting it into recovery mode and restoring it 1 more time:
    If you can't update or restore your iOS device
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    If that does not resolve it the symptoms indicate to me that it is a hardware issue causing this to happen and would seek service for it:

    I'm currently running ios 5 beta on my iphone 4 and when i woke up this morning my phone had decided to automatically update the software OTA. After connecting to wifi and switching on location i proceeded to follow the instructions 'slide to setup'. I was informed that it may take 3 minutes to activate phone but was then presented with the screen 'Could not Activate iphone', this is because the activation server is unavailable. Can anybody shed some light on this for me?
    Many thanks

    Can anybody shed some light on this for me?
    Not here. iOS5 beta is only available to registered developers, and discussing it publicly outside of the private developer forums is a violation of the non-disclosure agreement you signed to access the beta.

  • After updating to ios 7.1 with my iphone 4 my apps wont update it just loads then stop help please

    after updating to ios 7.1 with my iphone 4 my apps wont update it just loads then stop help please

    Reset your iPhone.  Hold the on/off and home buttons together for about 10 seconds till the Apple logo appears.
    If you continue to have issues, try downloading the apps to iTunes on your computer, then sync your iPhone using iTunes.

  • Difficulty texting and and making calls after iOS 8.2 update on iphone 5

    Hi
    Since upgrading to iOS 8.2 on my iPhone 5 a couple of months ago I have had cellular connectivity problems. But even when I have several bars of reception texts won't send / receive and phone calls fail. iMessage and wifi connection is unaffected. The problems occur 50% of the time. The rest of the time the phone works.
    I have checked with my carrier and they say there are no signal problems in my area, I have also replaced the SIM card but problems continue. My carrier says it may be a fault with the phone and to take it to an Apple store. However as I am disabled this is difficult. The phone is also out of warranty.
    Has any one else had similar issues and / or have any ideas how to fix it? Should I try a factory reset?

    Hi Saucelicious,
    If you are having issues with your iPhone's cellular connectivity, you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.
    First, quit all running applications and test again -
    Force an app to close in iOS
    Next, I would try restarting and if needed resetting the iPhone -
    Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPhone as a new device -
    How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
