iphone 4s searching and no serives after replace sim

Ask your phone carrier why?
Did you buy a second hand iphone?
could be that it is still lock to a different phone carrier than the one your trying to use.

IPhone says 'searching' and cannot make calls or turn off/reboot

Help - my iPhone says 'searching' and will not allow me to connect to the internet, make calls, or shutdown/reboot and my settings menu comes up blank.
Any ideas?

Hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons at the same time until an Apple logo appears. If nothing happens after 30 seconds of holding restore the phone as described here --> http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

HT2309 my iphone 5 will not activate with my replacement sim (original damaged)

Hi All, Have a problem with my grandsons iphone 5 on tesconet. His original sim stopped working and I requested a replacement sim from Tesco, who sent it to me saying it was ready for use with the same number.When I put this into the phone it says it needs to activate and that the sim is not of the correct provider, even though the phone is apple unlocked. I have tried a couple of other tmobile sims in the phone and they work ok, and the original tesco one worked ok for 3 months. I have tried reloading the software and just about everything else on line, also I tried the new sim in another mobile and that works ok, it doesn't even ask to activate, just works straight away, any ideas?
Thanks
Alan

Iphone has a dim blank screen, after replacement. Has been hard reset, and computer reset. The phone is still black., iphone has a dim blank screen, after replacement. Has been hard reset, and computer reset. The phone is still black.

My Iphone 4s screen is black after replacement. I reset the phone, hard reset it, and even let it charge for several days. It continues to make a breif sound when charging. The phone is working, because when i switch the vibrating mode on and off it vibrate. Please help. I think this is a hardware problem.

Did you replace the screen or is it a replacement phone?
If it's a replacement phone take it back to the Apple store that replaced it.
If you replaced the screen you are out of luck; the iPhone is not user serviceable, and any attempt to fix it means that Apple will not longer repair or replace it, in or out of warranty.

Iphone 3g Cracks and Apple will not replace!!!???

I bought my Iphone 3g white the 15 September, last friday the 23 October I noticed some little cracks, just the beginning of the Apple cracks story...
Friday 12 o'clock I look on the inernet and start posting on some sites
17 o'clock I went to the local Apple store, the third employee noticed the cracks, but they do nothing, I must contact contact the operator.
Saterday 24October after had some explanations on different forums, I call the Iphone Support for Belgium. They couldn't help me and connected me to the Apple EU call center in France,
The apple employee asked about repairing Italian Iphones(yes it's an italian),
She came back with "NO problem, we won't repair it, we will replace it and your iphone will go to our engineers. Ups will come after 48hours and you will have the new one in 5days.
Sunday, Monday,...Wednesday, No ups, I look on the support link and noticed "replacement suspended", so I called again the Support. 3o minutes to find the problem...
Apple: Your Iphone was bought in Italy and is simlock, we can't repair it...
Me : Yes it's italian, but apple won't repair it because the cracks, normally I will have a new one, and italian iphones are without Simlock just like in Belgium
Appleotheremployee: Your Iphone is italian, so Apple IT will replace it but you must be domiciliated in Italy, otherwise UPS can't come...
SO IPHONE 3G with gps is not for travelling people, you can do it all with it but onl @ HOME!
Apple Has an international support, what is the problem to give the order to UPS international and replace that Iphone, It will be a lot easier but no, NO REPLACEMENT!
If Apple has such a Support strategy......they will just like WINDOWS VISTA!

Apple products have international service, with the exception of the iphone.
It is, in most countries restricted to the country in which the iphone is sold.
Your situation is certainly a very unpleasant one, but this is the way the warranty on iphone works.
"Apple may restrict service to the country where Apple or its authorized distributors originally
sold the hardware product"
From the warranty.

Not sure if the sim card is envolved with the WIFI connections, But maybe it is.
Try deleting the connection and redefining it.

Got my Iphone unlocked recently and now when inserted new sim, all the apps got wiped out, tried syncing it again from itunes but still it isnt getting installed. Can someone help?

Hi,
Recently I got my Iphone unlocked. Earlier I was using it on ATT n/w. After unlock i am using it in India with a service provider here.
The problem that I am getting is, the phone was able to pick up the network and am able to make calls and messages. Data plan is still to be activated so cant confirm on that, but all the apps that were there on my phone got wiped out on its own. Since I wasnt sure as to what happend, so I reinstalled the apps today morning. I saw the apps getting installed and then left to get ready for my office. after nearly 30 mins I saw nothing was getting syncronized so disconnected the phone and left for Office. On reaching office when I checked for my usual Apps, I could see only the apple apps and none other available there. Need to know whats the issue and how to resolve it. Please can someone help me on this?

Like I mention, I went to Bell as well Rogers store and tried to insert active SIM card with no results.

I also went back into the phone and checked if any cables or antenna cables were not put in and it seems like I put them in all right.. But I just need help how to fix my iPhone to read the SIM card..
PLEASE HELP..

An iPhone that is ineligible for warranty service may be eligible for Out-of-Warranty (OOW) Service. For example, an iPhone that has failed due to damage or liquid damage is ineligible for warranty service but eligible for OOW service. However, certain damage is ineligible for OOW service, including catastrophic damage, such as the device separating into multiple pieces, and inoperability caused by unauthorized modifications. Please see Apple's Repair Terms And Conditions for further details."
My emphases. Opening an iPhone is not necessarily a Good Thing.

Iphone 4s camera still not working after replacing and restore?

I bought phone with back camera not working so first i done a restore and update to no avail, then done a restore as new phone still no joy, so i decided to buy new camera which i fitted no problems but its still not working? what else can i do as there is no warranty on the phone?

Find a third-party repair shop with experience in fixing iPhone cameras. Apple won't help you.
Be aware, since Apple does not sell iPhone parts, there is no legitimate source for such, & many on the market are counterfeit.

IPhone 6 photo and video retrieval after restoring backup from my old iPhone 5 unit

Hi,
I was so excited to use my new iPhone 6 and started taking photos and videos with it. Not to mention that the photos and videos were of my all-time favorite artist during his much-awaited concert . When I got home, I forgot to download all the media files first to my desktop before performing "restore backup" via iTunes so all my old iPhone 5 settings could be duplicated in my new iPhone. Now, I can only access the photos/videos taken from my iPhone 5 in my iPhone 6. Not sure if I could still retrieve the new photos/videos taken recently using my iPhone 6 when they seem to have been overwritten by my old iPhone files. Please help.
Thanks!

Correction: the message that iTunes hangs at for hours on end was "Waiting for changes to be applied".

Iphone 6 + screen all messed up after replacement done by Apple

so i had my screen replaced about a month ago by apple because I dropped it and it was shattered like cut my finger if I tried to use it "shattered" but lately the top of the screen has been flickering all weird and it's not responding to my touch /: if I take it back to them will they charge me again?

Your phone is still under warranty. If whatever is causing your problem is NOT related to dropping the phone, it will again be replaced. Bring it to Apple and see what they say.
