I got an iPhone 4 for my birthday yesterday and when we went to activate it, we turned it off after like it said to, and I turned it on about two hours later and it keeps saying 'No Service'. It connects to wifi but doesn't pick up any service. Help!?

Also, I know there is service at my house (it's not the location) because my mom has the same phone and hers works just fine. Did I maybe turn it on too soon? And if so, how can I fix this problem? DESPERATE.

it seems like it hasn't registered with your carrier yet? try a hard reset, LOCK+home button until it shuts down and restarts, see if that helps any, please post back

  • Yesterday my ipod touch 4g would connect and to wifi and i was able to go on safari and search etc. but last night at 11 pm it would say that it was connected to wifi but wouldn't connect to safari it would say request timed out

    it would say request timed out so i restored my ipod erased and reset it hoping it would delete the problem but it was still there it says that it is connected to wifi but will not launch safari and will bring up that message request timed out. itunes app store anything that uses internet/wifi will not work. it is not in airplane mode and wifi is on. i also forgot to mention this but it would also sometimes say that it is not connected to the internet even though i have 3 bars of wifi.

    The router itself will always be sending a signal to devices connected to it.  The router could not even be connected to your modem and it will still show that you have a connection on your device.  Check your router config, reset it, and if all fails, contact your internet service provider.

  • My iPod is up to a 4.1 ios, and it won't update to a 5.1 which I need for some of my apps for school. It keeps saying that my internet connection is bad; but, it works just fine. What do I need to do?

    If you get a network timeout error, then disabling the computer's security software duirng the download and update usually resovles that error.
    If that is not the error what is the wording of the error message.
    Note that only a 3G or 4G iPod can go to iOS 5.  A 2G iPod can only go to iOS 4.2.1

  • HT1212 I just bought a new ipod touch from a friend but she didn't reset it and everytime that I try to rest it, it keeps saying "Ipod is disable, connect to Itunes" but I'am connected to Itunes and it also says put in correct passcode?? how do I reset it

    I just bought a new Ipod ios from a friend and she didn't reset it before she gave it to me and when I try to connect it to my laptop it keeps saying "Ipod is disable, connect to itunes"and it says to put in the correct passcode but I don't know what the passcode is and now I can't get ahold of my friend that sold it to me. So my question is: How do I reset the passcode and the Ipod touch so that I can sync it to my laptop and so that I can enjoy my new Ipod Touch?

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:

  • HT4623 IPad 2 will not upgrade to IOS.70, keeps saying I am not connected to WIFI when it is connected.  Even tried turning of Advast VPN

    I cannot upgrade my IPad 2 with IOS.70, the download appeared to be complete but while it was verifing a "not connected to WIFI" message appeared yet IPad was connected and working.  Not sure what is wrong, even tried to turn off Advast VPN thinking that was the issue but cannot complete upgrade.

    try resetting your phone by turning it off and back on again. Also try resetting your network settings under Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.

  • My ipod says that I am connected to wifi, but the app store won't load, what do I do?

    I just bought a brand new iPod touch yesterday, and I was trying to learn how to use it. I connected to my University's wifi, (and I know it works because my laptop is on it, and other friends have iPod touches who connect to it). I can connect to the wifi, but when I try to get onto the app.  store or afari it says I am not connected. I need help what do I do? I have already restarted everything, and it did not work

    You need to check to make sure you are actually connected to the network.  Tap Settings > WiFi >and then tap the blue ">" next to the network name with checkmark.  You should see a complete set of IP address but if the router didn't issue you an IP address properly, you will see your touch IP address start with 169.x.  If this is the case, you are connected to the internal network but not to the web.
    First thing to do (while you are on that screen) is tap "Forget Network".  Then turn WiFi off.  Turn it back on and, if needed, tap Other and re-enter your network information.  If you continue to have problems, check with your IT department on Monday.
    In the meantime, your laptop and iTunes can be used to purchase apps and music.  Syncing them with your touch is a great way to get them installed while you are waiting for the answer on your WiFi problem.

  • MacBook Pro says its connected to wifi but doesn't work(or goes super slow)when the wifi works for everyone else Help!

    I have recently gotten a MacBook Pro (through my highschool so it is monitored by them) and ever since I brought it home it's been having wifi connection problems. It says the wifi is working fine, it shows full bars, but when I try to connect to the Internet it acts like there is only one bar or no bars. Although every one and a while I can get a great connection but it lasts for about 10 minutes. This I do not get because the wifi works perfectly fine for everyone else in the house and for our phones too. So if anyone else could help me I would be soo happy. Thanks.

    I have had the same issue and searched the forums and found nothing that helped. I contacted apple support and this is what they told me to do:
    First we’ll do the SMC reset
    1.) Shut down the Mac and connect to power source.
    2.) Unplug external devices, flash drives, external monitors, external HD (Keep the Mac plugged into power source)
    3.) Hold down “Shift” + “Control” + “Option” (On the left side of the keyboard) + Power key for 30 seconds.
    *The Mac should remain powered off during the reset, the LED on the MagSafe Adapter may change colors.
    **The “Option” key is also known as the “Alt” key on some Macs.
    Awesome, now let’s reset the NVRAM
    1.) Locate these keys “Command”, “Option, “P” & “R”
    2.) Power on your Mac
    3.) Immediately press and hold all 4 keys “Command” “Option” “P” “R”
    4.) Listen for 2 boot chimes and then release.
    **The “Option” key is also known as the “Alt” key on some Macs.

  • Just lately, my iPod has been saying that it's connected to wifi, but when I try to use the wifi and use an app that requires wifi, it keeps saying things like 'Cannot connect to server' when it clearly is 'connected'. What's wrong with my iPod?

    Also, when I tried to connect my iPod to my MacBook Pro, and sync it into iTunes, 'iTunes could not connect to this iPhone.' First it's not an iPhone, and second, my iPod could sync perfectly fine before the wifi problem. Is there a way to return it back to normal; fix it? Someone please answer.

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                 
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on your router
    .- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
