IPhone 4 won't connect when trying to dial out, just hangs and hangs at "connecting"

iPhone 4 running 4.3.3 on AT&T network.
For some reason, I can only make one outgoing call at a time on my phone without having to power it off and reboot it. When I go to make a call, it will just hang at "connecting" -- I don't even get a "Call failed" or "can't connect". If I power off and reboot, and I can make a call, but just ONE. The next one I try is the same thing. Really annoying!
Has anyone had this problem? Is it a software or carrier issue? I've resent the network settings and that didn't help.
Thanks!

Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tends to indicate a problem with your network.
What happens when it fail to connect?
----- 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 and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

HT4245 face time does not connect when receiving or dialing out

face time does not connect when receiving or dialing out

It finally seems to work (2nd day now and counting)...
I tried the following with no luck:
upgrading to iOS 5
adding an associated e-mail and calling that associated e-mail
do a full-scale registration of the e-mail (and making a free purchase via itunes) instead of a 'facetime only' registration
this combo however seems to have done the trick:
keeping the ipad2 plugged in
changing the dns on the ipad to "8.8.4.4,8.8.8.8"
If it continues to work for a few more days, then i think i can say the the problem is finally resolved.

My Iphone won't do an icloud backup, I have enough storage and i am connected to a power source AND connected to Wi-Fi, Help

Today I changed my Apple ID, and now am trying to do an iCloud backup and I AM connected to a wi-fi source as well as a power source and it WILL NOT back up, any suggestions as to why??

I'm having the same problem. Interesting part is that I also have an iPad. They sit side-by-side in docks for power, have the same settings to backup to iCloud. But the iPhone has never backed up to iCloud and the iPad does so regularly every night (same appleid on both). Both have plenty of extra storage. The only difference is that the iPhone only connects to the 2.4GHz wifi, while the iPad (new) will connect to either 2.4GHz or 5GHz wifi (my router supports both and both are turned on--the iPad seems to connect via the 5GHz side preferentially). Both 2.4GHz and 5GHz wifi use the same Internet connection.
When I try to do a manual backup to iCloud, it sits there and appears to be trying, but last night (I started the manual backup before going to bed) it had gotten no further than barely starting (as indicated by the progress bar) by morning. So something is definitely wrong.

Hi, I am wondering why my iphone won't send pictures through messages, I have MMS on and I have tried sending it with 3G on aswell and still doesn't work. Someone please help me :)

Hey lozza567,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues sending MMS messages. The following resource may provide a solution:
iOS: Troubleshooting Messages
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2755
Issues with sending and receiving MMS
You will need these to send and receive MMS:
- An iPhone 3G or later.
- iOS 3.1 or later.
- A cellular data connection. MMS isn't available if you are using only Wi-Fi.
- A domestic MMS plan from your cellular provider. You may need an international messaging plan to send MMS to an international contact. Contact your carrier for more information.
- A roaming MMS when using a cellular provider's network different from your billing cellular provider's network. Learn more about roaming and contact your carrier for more information.
To resolve issues with sending and receiving MMS, follow these steps first
1. Go to Settings and turn airplane mode off.
2. Go to Settings > Messages and turn MMS Messaging on.
3. Go to Settings > Cellular and turn Cellular Data on.
4. Go to Settings > Cellular and turn Data Roaming on if you are roaming on a cellular provider network different from your billing provider's network.
5. Verify that you have a cellular data connection in the status bar at the top left of your iPhone.
6. Go to Settings and turn Wi-Fi off. Open Safari and navigate to www.apple.com to verify that you have a data connection. Turn Wi-Fi back on to continue using Wi-Fi for other features. If your cellular data connection isn't available, follow these steps.
7. Verify that you can send and receive SMS. If you are unable to send and receive SMS, see the "Issues with sending and receiving SMS" section, above.
8. MMS may not be available while on a call. Only 3G and faster GSM networks support simultaneous data and voice calls. Learn more about which network your phone supports.
9. Restart your iPhone.
10. Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings on your iPhone.
11. Reseat your SIM card.
If you are still unable to send or receive MMS, follow these steps
1. Make sure that the contact trying to message you isn't blocked in Settings > Messages > Blocked.
2. Go to Settings > Messages and turn on group messaging if you are sending a group message.
3. Make sure that you are using the area code with the contact's phone number. When sending messages internationally, you also need the contact's international code.
4. Verify a "Pay as you go" MMS plan has enough available balance. Contact your carrier if unsure of your MMS plan or available balance.
5. If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, back up or forward important messages and delete your current messaging threads with the contact. Create a new message to the contact and try again.
6. If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, delete and re-create the contact from the Contacts application. Create a new message to the newly created contact and try again.
7. Back up and restore your iPhone as new.
8. If your carrier has recently ported your phone number, the porting process may not be complete. Contact your carrier to confirm that the porting process is complete.
9. Contact your carrier to verify that you are provisioned to send SMS and are in an area with cellular coverage.
10. Contact your carrier to verify that there are no blocks or filters placed on your wireless account preventing you from sending SMS.
11. Your carrier may require APN settings to be modified to use MMS. Learn more about when you should adjust APN settings.
Thanks,
Matt M.

IPhone won't sync when plugged in...

After upgrading to iTunes 9, my iPhone won't sync when I plug it it in. When I connect it, iTunes opens automatically and the phone/application will say it's syncing, but then after a couple of seconds it just stops and nothing has changed on the phone or my music library. I ran the syncing diagnostics test and it didn't detect any errors... Here's the message I got from it:

Any ideas what could be going on and how I can fix it? Thanks in advance for any help!

We have 2 iPhones and two computers, one Mac and a PC. We recently downloaded iTunes v9 and now iTunes cannot “see” either of our phones on either computer. I have contacted Apple by phone and spent over an hour trying to resolve this connection problem. The Apple rep suggested that the issue might be in the “dock” and recommended I take the phones to iPnone supplier. Incidentally I can charge the phones using the “dock” which suggests that the “dock” is not the issue.
The iPhone supplier connected one one phone to his Mac computer and it immediately connected to and “saw” the phone. Interestingly, the supplier was only running iTunes v8. The supplier suggested there was a “patch” for iPhone to operate with itunes v9. Is this correct and if so how do I get it.
So my problem is that I cannot ever get to the stage of "syncing".
I have also noted on several “chat” sites people have had problems with iPhone and iTunes v9 connectivity.
Help!!!! please!!!

My daughter has just bought me an iPad 2 from Dubai and set it all up for me but unfortunately the iMessage function doesn't seem to work. We keep getting messages,when trying to activate it, that there is a network connection problem - help!

My daughter has just bought me an iPad 2 from Dubai and set it all up for me but unfortunately the iMessage function doesn't seem to work. We keep getting messages,when trying to activate it, that there is a network connection problem - help!

Thank you both for your responses but my daughter was reassured by the salesman in the iStyle store (official Apple store in the UAE) that iMessages would work but conceded that FaceTime wouldn't. My iTunes account is registered in the uk and my daughter's iPhone has iMessages even though she bought it (and uses it) in Dubai. Can anyone else throw any light on this?

"Unable to connect to server" when trying to accept the new terms and conditions for iCloud.

I keep getting "Unable to connect to server" when trying to accept the new terms and conditions for iCloud. What can I do? I can access the internet, but my clash of the clans applications is failing. The problem started January 1, 2014

I just figured out the problem with my grandma's iphone.
Settings>iCloud>Delete Account
IT WILL NOT DELETE YOUR ACCOUNT. it just takes it off the phone. then you can log back in, and BAM, You're good I hope!
Hope this helps.

IPhone won't sync when any account is logged in iTunes

As the title states, after I restored my iPhone 3G 8gb because it wouldn't sync with my computer I finally narrowed down the problem after many hours of troubleshooting to an account being logged into iTunes when the iPhone is trying to sync.
My Desktop is running Windows Vista x64, the iPhone doesn't have any problems connecting to my Macbook Pro regardless if an account is logged into iTunes or not.
Is there anyway to fix this?
edit: Seems like Kaspersky also prevents my iTunes from detecting my iPhone

I'd recommend that you not use the JDBC-ODBC bridge driver to connect to SQL Server. M$ and jTDS are two free type IV JDBC drivers that you should use instead. Put those JARs in the WEB-INF/lib directory.
The database URL you're using is not correct if you change drivers. Consult the docs to find out what the proper syntax is.

Do I have to reconfigure something in Itunes to point to the correct address?

What version of iTunes are you using? The latest is 10.6.3. In iTunes, choose Help -> About iTunes to check the version number. If it's lower than 10.6.3, download the latest version from here.
