HT201412 settings are not working and only searching showing on top left

my iphone 4s not working,i can't make a call and when i pressed the setting icon it's all come up all white screen.on top left side says only 'searching'

OK everyone - I think I figured it out!
I had the same problems:
- 'Searching' in upper left
- Inability to make/receive calls
- Inability to access the internet
- Inability to access mail
- Setup menu comes up blank
- Cannot shut down/reboot by holding down top right button
Here's what to do:
- Hold down both the top right button and the lower middle button at the same time for a few seconds and you should see the white Apple logo appear on the screen.
- Let go of the buttons at this point and the phone will reboot
- When it comes back, everything should be OK
Only other thing I notoced is that I actually watched the battery drain fromm 80% to 10% when it came back online! Very strange!

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

    Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.

    Hi talero,

  • Hello my battery power has a x on it and the lights are not working and its making a noise - Please assist

    Hello my battery power has a x on it and the lights are not working and its making a noise - Please assist

    The Battery icon with the "X" indicates that your computer does not detect a battery and is operating on electrical power from AC since your computer is plugged in. If your battery is installed but not detected that indicates a problem: 1. the battery is dead; 2. the battery connector is not functioning properly. You mention that there is no response from the indicator lights so it could be either of the two possibilities. The noise is not a good sign. Best to shut it down safely while you can to prevent any possibility of damage and get it to an Apple Genius Bar or Authorized Apple Service Provider to discover the nature of the problem

  • My "go to in point" and "go to out point" keyboard shortcuts are not working, and the default keys arnt either? any help would be amazing!

    my "go to in point" and "go to out point" keyboard shortcuts are not working, and the default keys aren't either? any help would be amazing!  I use these keys a million times a hour and since I have switched to cc I cant get them to work. track selection makes no difference or if there are markers on the timeline or not. 
    Anyone else feel me on this?
    any help?

    Well that still didn't make any kind of difference.  I would just do without it but I've becomes really use to it with Avid for so long.  I have to admit there are a lot of small moments like this that makes me miss Avid.  Any other suggestions? I have checked the keyboard shortcuts a few times and maybe I'm just missing something here...

  • Start & windows Settings are not working

    i Recently Updated to windows 10 Technical Preview SL, Evaluation Copy. Build 9926
    I can't access Start neither by Windows Start Window Icon nor by  the Key Board Windows Button.
    I thought that the problem would be solved by the updates, but the windows updates is no longer in the control panel and the PC SETTINGS is not launching and the window opens only having the Settings enlarged icon.
    Thank You,

    Thank You,
    This is a  direct copy from Insider Hub regarding how to check for Windows Updates when Start Menu is not functioning. Hope it also applies to your issue.....
    Start menu
    When you boot Windows 10 Technical Preview, the Start menu may not appear. Checking for updates may fix this problem. To check for updates without the Start menu, do the following:
    Select the Internet Explorer icon.
    Type http://update.microsoft.com into the address bar and select
    Enter.
    If you are prompted to run a control, click
    Yes.
    This should bring up the Check for updates window. Install updates.
    If no update is available, or the available updates don’t fix the issue, restart the device–this should make the Start menu appear. To reboot without using the Start menu:
    Hold down the Windows key and select L to lock the device. Swipe up or select
    Enter to open the sign in screen. Select the
    Power icon on the log in screen to restart the computer.            
    OR
    Hold down the Windows key and select R to bring up a command prompt. In the prompt, type
    shutdown –r to restart

  • Tun miniport adapters are not working and the camera card reader is not working on a T61P.

    The Microsoft tun miniport adapters #4,2, and 3 are not working.  They display code 10 error message. Also the USB  mass storage device (camera card reader) is not working. 
    I have tried to uninstall and update the drivers to no avail.  I have used ThinkVantage Tool Box.  It only lets me know that they are not working.  It does say to reinstall them.  I have tried.  All effort has failed.
    All was find until I ran several updates via ThinkVantage.
    All suggestions would be appreciated.
    Thank you,
    Tom

  • Just updated W10 TechPreview to Build 9860 - PC Settings are not opening but only docking to tool bar?

    As PC Settings are not opening I'm not able to check for the newest build 9878 to download and upgrade. WHAT to do WHERE pls. ? WIN+C opens the charms bar where I'm still able to select Settings and then "Change PC Settings" BUT it only
    docks on to the tool bar ....

    Had a similar issue, fixed by running Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
    and reboot.
    didn't mention it but it was docking to the taskbar. https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/e3e1cc14-0b6f-4cbb-9a17-7051a434ebe0/app-does-not-support-the-contract-specified?forum=WinPreview2014General

  • Windows Live Tiles are not working and refreshing

    Hello,
    I have looked for an answer but can't seem to find one so this is honestly my last resort. For some reason my Windows live tiles are not working nor refreshing. When I open my Netflix app for instance I get a playback error N8102, but I am strangely connected
    to the internet. Oddly, however, Netflix does work well using firefox on the desktop.
    I tried to check if I needed an app update for Netflix, but the Windows app store is not loading as well. Internet explorer app is not working, and IE on the desktop is taking too long to load. But firefox and chrome work perfectly well on the desktop.
    Other problems that I have encountered are:
    Microsoft Office 2013 is taking too long to open, and when it does it often crashes
    I can't view my Windows Updates
    Can't view control panel. It also crashes.
    I am not sure what the problem is.

    Hi GBell101,
    Here I list these issues:
    1. Windows Live tiles are not working
    2. Netflix app not working error code N8102
    3. Can’t open windows app store
    4. Windows office 2013 often crashes
    5. Can’t view Windows updates and control panel
    Please share us more information for better analyzation:
    1. What changes had you made before you met these issues?
    2. Do you receive other error messages or code?
    3. Do you mean we can’t open Windows updates and control panel or can’t find them?
    Please take the following steps for troubleshooting:
    1. Install Silverlight on the computer and check if the Netflix issue persists.
    2. Run the app troubleshooter, for more information, please refer to the following article.
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/what-troubleshoot-problems-app
    3. If the issue exists, we could conduct the system restore to restore Windows to a earlier point in time.

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    When it says place the iPOd in recovery mode
    Place the iPod in recovery mode using one of these programs:
    For PC
    RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode
    or
    http://joshuabailey1997.wordpress.com/2010/09/02/recboot-v1-3/
    If necessary:
    Download QTMLClient.dll & iTunesMobileDevice.dll for RecBoot
    and                                           
    RecBoot tip
    RecBoot may have problems on 64X windows, then try:
    Tenorshare ReiBoot – Enter & Exit iPhone, iPad, iPod Recovery Mode with a Single Click
    For MAC or PC       
    The Firmware Umbrella - TinyUmbrella
    Installs blootware on PC too
    - 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 another cable       
    - 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.
