Everytime I want to remote my itunes from my iphone, itunes search for radio-stream updates. I often use remote when I'm not connected to Internet so itunes tell me that I should connect because the radio-stream update can't be made. This is new since 10.5. Can I turn off the search for Radio-Stream or does someone else has an Idea how to fix the problem?

If no joy, take it back, and take full advantage of your warranty!

Iphone 4s search for service - Verizon
My Iphone started searching for service and would not connect to the network. Verizon told me that is was not their issue and to take the phone to Apple. Bottom line Apple tried to reset the phone and now I am getting the -1 error in itunes. Apple told me the phone is broken and because its 1 1/2 years old, its out of warranty.After searching the internet, it seems to me my firmware got corrupted. The phone is not damgaed. I guess Apple does not stand behind its software/firmware. Any comments????
A firmware corruption IS damage. Therefore you phone IS damaged. And unfortunately it is out of warranty. Did you try restoring the phone as new?
Error -1
Attempt to restore your iOS device two more times. If the issue is still unresolved, the device may need service. -
I'm using 3G3 16gb and just upgraded to 4.3.3. Tried activating bluetooth to use Personal Hotspot for my laptop. But the iphone keep searching for devices thou my laptop can detect the phone. Does anyone know how to solve this?
Hi NWL1,
Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, the iPhone won't update and is stuck. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.

I just bought 2 new iPhone 4 one for and my husband. I want to sync them on the same computer without it runing my sisters already syned 3s. When tried syning my old and i mean very old iPhone's contacts it said i could only merge them with my sister contacts and now i have her contacts on my phone and it sent my all her un needed apps as well. I want to be able to sync but not have her things placed in my phone or have anything erased from hers either. Can anyone help me?
By far the simplest way to do this is create separate accounts on the computer for each person. That way, you each log into your own separate account, sync your own device(s) to your own contacts/calendars/apps/music and so forth.

IPhone says searching for service after ios 7.1.1 update! HELP!
I updated my iPhone 5c to the iOS 7.1.1 last night and didn't think I would have any problems. I went to bed and woke up this morning with my phone in the top left corner saying "Searching..." and the the wifi symbol.
I went to check my setting to see if my data was off, but when I went into the settings app and clicked the tab labed "Celluar" the app crashed and took me back to the home screen. It does this everytime I try and go into that tab! So, I have no idea what it going on with my phone! I can't make calls, send texts through my phone number (I can still send iMessages when connected to wifi), the screen glitches and moves when I go into apps, the battery life is now terrible and drains really fast. Everything about my phone was perfectly fine until I updated it to the iOS 7.1.1, so I believe something must have went wrong when it was updating.
Overall these are my main problems:
-iPhone is "Searching" for phone service (which means I have no service so no calls or texts can be sent or recieved)
-Cellular tab in settings crashes
-Battery drains over 2x faster than normal
-Screen seems to glitch or move when I open appsHi SamSam1103,
If you are having multiple issues with your iPhone after a recent update, your best course of action may be to back up your content to iTunes, restore the phone to factory settings, then test to see if the issues persist in its default config before bringing back your content from the backup.

everytime i want to restore my previews backup to my new iphone, itunes asks for my password, when i enter my password it tells me my password is incorrect, but its not! i have even changed my password. but still nothing! I get the same error from itunes!!!!
Try using your computer password. I tried any password I could think of relating to my phones, but it was none of them; it was, in fact, my computer password.

I've had my new iPhone 6 Plus for about a month now and I'm just now syncing it with my computer to put music on it and it has been on Step 5 of 5 for hours now. I have reinstalled iTunes to see if that was the problem with no luck.
All it says is "waiting for changes to be applied".

Hey Apple how hard is it to tell us what date and time your os will be out?
Its July 25th and no Mountain Lion yet. It would be cool if Apple could tell us EXACTLY when it will be out. If I was the head honcho at Apple I would say something like "July 25th 5pm it will be released" not some crap like "sometime in July" ...hel
