Iphone 3gs can't find a network

iphone says "searching" or "no network." Any suggestions?

Have you tried turning Airplane mode on and off, and/or powering your iPhone off and on?
Are you in an area where your carrier definitely has cellular coverage and without any network problems at the present time that you may not be aware of?

IPhone 4s can't find cellular network. iPad logged right on. Tried soft reset and two button reset, neither worked. In Detroit airport any ideas?

Iphone 4s can't find cellular network in Detroit airport. iPad logged right on. Tried reset network and hard boot and airplane off on. No luck. Any ideas?

So, I can see that nobody had any ideas. In case anyone is interested, I did cave and get an Airport Extreme. My iPhone 4s connected in about 3 seconds, as did my MacBook, my iMac and my old 3G phone. The router is in the EXACT SAME SPOT as my Netgear router. No reception problems, no dropping wifi.
The Sony Blu-Ray connected on the second attempt, but the TiVos are another story. Reset my N-adapters to factory default and then did setup, found the network just fine assured me that my wifi was configured to the new router, but the TiVos refuse to connect. It's always something! lol I'm sure somebody can tell me how to fix this.

IPhone 3GS, doesn't find any network after updating to iOS 4.1

I recently updated my iPhone 3GS, and now I can't find any network. This really bothers me as I need a phone. How can I fix this?

Do the following in the order specified:
1. Power your phone off, wait ~30 seconds, then power it back on. If no change, proceed:
2. Reset your phone: Press the sleep/wake button & home button at the same time, keep pressing until you see the Apple logo, then release(ignore the slide to power off). If no change, proceed:
3. Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings.
If no change after the above, post back.

My iphone 4 can't find a network

I bought my iphone 4 in Ny and brought to Brazil. It was working fine till last Friday. It can't find a network anymore. It says on the upper left corner "no service" instead of showing the carrier name and its signal. I tried to contact my carrier but it seems to be everything fine, I even tried de microchip on my Ipad and it worked perfectly, so it should be a proclem with the phone.
I tried to reset the device, but nothing seems to work.
Anyone could help me on this, please!!!
(excuse my lousy english, please!)

1. Try doing a hard reset:
Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/wake button simultaneously for about 15 seconds and release when the Apple logo appears.
2. If that doesn't work, use this article for troubleshooting: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1398
3. If that doesn't solve the issue, backup the device and restore it as new.
In that case, use: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
NB: set up as a NEW device because a software issue will be in the backup. If the issue persists after restoring as new, you should offer the device for service.
If you get specific error messages/codes in iTunes when updating/restoring, check this: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694 for causes and solutions
If you restore your iPhone to factory settings without a backup and still can't detect/connect to any network, you should offer the device for service.
Good luck

IPhone 5 can not find the network and writes sim card no support

Hello, I am from Belarus so writing through an interpreter. I bought the iPhone 5 32GB Black from Ebay all good but the problem came when insert SIM card a minute later comes out window that sim card does not support . Connect to iTunes the same. How do I fix this? imei 990002267564852 iPhone 5 32GB Black.

You can call Apple Care to find out which carrier it's locked to and only they can officially unlock.
Best you return for a refund and buy one that's not carrier & activation lock.

The Bluetooth low energy protocol is not backward compatible with classic Bluetooth protocol. My iPhone 4s can not find my sonny in-dash player. However my iPhone 3GS does it. Very disappointed with this. Any idea how it can be fixed???

Hello,
You are correct, Blue tooth low engergy, BTLE.(only) devices are not backward compatible with Classic bluetooth and cannot connect.
However the Apple 4S and above have Bluetooth 4.0 support.. Hardware wise it has bothClassic Bluetooth, like the 3GS, as well as Bluetooth Low Energy. There is no good reason why your 4s cannot communicate to your Sony in-dash player using the Classic bluetooth that resides in the 4S.
I know that this does not answer the why it does not work, but it should work. Do you have to somehow re-pair the new phone up to the player? Not knowing the model of the Sony it is hard to investigate.
And I hate to ask but are you sure that the Bluetooth radio is on in the phone?

My iPhone 4 can not find network after updating to 7.0.6

I use an iphone 3gs can i set one of the song as ring tone or i will only be able to use the inbuilt ringtones?

i use an iphone 3gs can i set one of the song as ring tone or i will only be able to use the inbuilt ringtones?

yes you can
A. how to make a ringtone using iTunes
First, open up iTunes in order to make a ringtone using iTunes. Find the song you want to turn into a ringtone by browsing through your music library.
Next, find exactly what part of the song you want to make a ringtone using iTunes. For example, if you want to use a specific section of the song from 21 seconds to 40 seconds, make a note of where you want the ringtone to begin and end.
Now, right click on the song you want to turn into a ringtone. Click "Get Info". Now, in order to make a ringtone using iTunes, click the "Options" tab.
Check the "Start Time" check box. Type in the point in the song where you want the ringtone to start in the format "minute:seconds" (e.g. the second mark would be 0:20). You can also be more precise by adding a period and putting milliseconds in after that (e.g. 0:20.150, would be 20.150 seconds). Also, click the "Stop Time" check box and enter where you would like the ring tone to end. Keep in mind ringtones can only be around 39 seconds maximum. Press "Ok". We are almost done making a ringtone in iTunes
Now, right click on the same song. Select "Convert AAC Version". If it is in another file format, you can go to "Edit" then "Preferences" and under the "General" tab click "Import Settings"; change the file format to AAC. After you select "Convert AAC Version" a new file will be created, but it will only be the segment of the song that you specified earlier.
Now, you have to find the file you just created. Right click on the new, shorter song and select "Open in Windows Explorer". The file extension should be .m4a. Rename the extension to .m4r by right clicking the file and selecting "Rename".
Now you can delete the shortened version of the song in your iTunes library. Then, double click the .m4r file and it will loaded into your iTunes Ringtone list. Now you can make a ringtone using iTunes!

New iPhone 5 having trouble finding wireless networks

New iPhone5 works on home network but is unable to join work network and can't find church network. iPad 2 and previous iphone4 worked fine on both networks.
What should I do?

Hi there sadlerb98!
Being able to connect to Wireless Networks is definitely an important function and I'm regretful to learn your iPhone 5 is having difficulties doing so! Let's make sure we try all options to get you connected. I appreciate you trying the Network Reset option first. Please ensure your information is backed up and complete a hard reset on your phone: http://vz.to/1cfZDog
Restore your information and test the wireless connections again. Please keep me posted on your results!
Thanks!

IPhone 4 can't find wifi - have to reboot

Hi, all. I've been having intermittent problems for the last month at least (maybe two months) where for no apparent reason, my iPhone 4 can't find any wifi networks. I've been updating my phone as soon my Macbook Air tells me a new iOS version has come out, and I'm currently running 5.0.1 I have found that 100% of the time, if I reboot the phone, it can find wifi immediately upon restart. Sometimes I'll go a week or two without the problem; other times it recurs within four days.
Any ideas for solving this issue would be greatly appreciated!
Sandy

Unfortunately, I had to reboot the phone last night, so resetting the network settings did not solve my problem.
Still looking for a solution.

AirPrint - iPhone 5 can not find printer after router change

AirPrint - iPhone 5 can not find printer after router change; however router is exact replacement of previous one (Zyxel, issued by Imagine wireless). AirPrint was working previously. Printer is on same network. Wireless printing working fine. Have tried rebooting prtiner, phone and router. Any suggestions?

My Apple TV suddenly can't find my network and tells me it is not connected..help?

My Apple TV suddenly can't find my network and tells me it is not connected..help? I have reset my time capsule and have all the latest updates. My iPhone and ipad do not show airplay even though I have it turned on in Apple TV.

Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
Restart your router.
Restart your mobile device.

IPhone 3GS can't connect after software update

My iPhone 3GS can't connect to my M1424WR anymore after I updated my iPhone software. Apple suggested I update my router software - any tips?

Try use "forget this network" then re enter the wep/wpa key (network password) this happens sometimes with my iTouch.
Other than that, there is no reason the iPhone cannot connect. =/

Photosmart b209a can't find wireless network.

I've only had this printer for three days. The "Easy One Button" process to get it to find a network failed. It cannot find my wireless network.
I'm using XP Professional on my laptop. McAfee Virus scanning and Firewall. (Not that it matters if the printer can't find the wireless network)
I have a DSL D-link router with NO MAC filtering and yet when I print the Wireless Network Test Report it gives me this whole spiel on MAC address filtering and asks to add the MAC address of the printer to the router... but there's no offered solution if MAC filtering is turned off.
I've changed my router security key from WEP to WPA-PSK.
I've managed to get it to connect twice... and to print a test page on separate days. I have no idea what it is I do that gets it 'online' but it doesn't seem to last.
I have spent several hours over the past three days (wasting entire days) trying to work out what the problem is. I have read forum posts; I have googled for solutions. The troubleshooting guide for the printer seems hopeless.
The printer is on the same desk as the router with only a computer monitor between them.
When I print the HP Network Configuration Page it states the status of the 802.11 Wireless is "Disconnected". The printer's wireless light is on, showing that the wireless radio is working on the printer.
I bought HP because my last printer was HP and it was excellent (but not wireless). If I can't get it to go online, seriously, I'll take it back and exchange it for a different brand of printer. All I want is a printer I can print to wirelessly, is that so hard to ask? Yes, I'm getting really frustrated here. I live in a rural area and I don't have access to geek friends or a computer professional or anything like that and returning the printer requires a two hour drive so I have to be as self-sufficient as possible. Please, try not to use too many technical terms. I can understand some but not all and if anybody can help me, please be clear in their instructions (ie, don't just say 'go to setup blah blah blah' without saying which setup you're talking about.)
Thanks for any help. It is appreciated.

Yes, the desktop is connected to the router with an Ethernet cable.
Yes the laptop is wireless.
The printer is connected to the router via wireless (which I've already stated, it keeps losing the wireless network).
If I don't have my printer connected to the desktop via cable, then I won't have any printing capability at all, because, as I just said, the printer keeps losing the wireless network! I need at least some way of printing when the printer can't find the network (even though the wireless network is working perfectly fine).
So, desktop connected to router with cable.
Laptop is wireless
Printer is wireless for laptop use (but it keeps losing the network and therefore is totally useless in that respect)
Printer is connected to desktop via cable to enable printing because of wireless continuing to lose connection to wireless network.
In fact my printer hasn't been able to connect to the wireless network for 2 days now... even though I'm currently connected to it on my wireless laptop.
Sometimes the printer finds the network, sometimes it doesn't and when it does, if I try to print from the laptop wirelessly, the printer loses the network.
This really is poor product and the installation manual might as well be used for toilet paper for all its worth, same with the 'help' feature on the disk. I only chose HP because I was familiar with it, since my previous printer was HP and reliable (but not wireless). I'm seriously wishing I'd purchased a different brand.
I'm not an IT tech, but I've managed to be able to connect modems and routers and other peripherals to my network without too much hassle at all... until now.
I'm sorry if I sound angry but this is completely frustrating. I spent good money for a product that I am unable to use for the main purpose I bought it! I'm reduced to saving things to USB sticks and physically taking them to the desktop computer and having to print from there.
