Iphone 5 only "searching..." no internet, no signal, no info in top left screen with data plan, etc. WHY???
Everything was fine with my phone just a few hours ago. Then I got home from our Father's Day bash and found my phone to be "searching..." with no internet connection, no ability to text or call anyone, and everything I've tried as far as troubleshooting does nothing. I went on my iPad to see if that was okay and it was so I used that to look up what the deal was with my phone and tried all the other troubleshooting fixes listed--nothing worked. So now I'm back at my parents' house (I have no computer at my home to connect my phone to iTunes) and it says in order to restore my phone I need to turn of Find My Phone under iCloud, but for whatever reason my password wasn't being accepted. I went onto the computer to change it thinking that would help so I could finally get the ball rolling here, but I didn't think about the fact that the internet is not connected on my phone so the new password I changed it to on the computer won't take on my f-ing phone. I'm completely lost now with no other ideas for what else I can do and I need my phone because it is literally my only contact method to the outside world--I have no landline to make calls in case of emergency. I've never had this problem before and the fact that my phone was working perfectly fine just a couple of hours ago is frustrating the crap out of me. Does anyone have any ideas/help for me to get around this whole iCloud thing so I can try and restore my phone and see if my connection comes back? I have the 4-person family data plan through AT&T and it's never failed me yet in the nearly 15+ years we've been contracted with them.
Log in to icloud.com on a computer and you can turn off Find My iPhone there.

Hi , I want ask you about imessage some time my account not availability and signal for calling some time no signal on my iPhone only search the signal ,
I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.

My new iTunes does not show me a PHOTOS tab when syncing my iPad 3. It only shows Music, Films and Apps tabs on the top left menu.
What am I going to do?The Photos tab doesn't appear there. If you are on iTunes 11 on your computer then you may want to re-enable the left-hand sidebar via View > Show Sidebar (option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC), which might make it easier to navigate and my instructions may make more sense.
To sync photos, connect and select your iPad on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes (if you've enabled the sidebar), and on the right-hand side there should be a series of tabs, one of which should be Photos e.g. :
If you select that tab you can then select which photo folders to sync to the iPad. There is a bit more info on this page. You will need to sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad - synced photos can't be deleted directly on the iPad, instead they are deleted by not including them in the next photo sync.
If you haven't enabled the sidebar, then from your library click 'iPad' at the top right of the screen and you should get a series of buttons along the top of the screen, including one for Photos -

My 4th gen iPod touch says iOS 6.1.3 is the latest version of software. I've been updating it wirelessly for a while so I know that isn't the problem & I know I'm connected to the Internet; I typed & submitted it on my iPod. Please help/explain why it's doing this!
Also, my App Store also says I have an update but I don't. All my apps are up to date when I try to update... Why is that?That iPod touch model doesn't have enough RAM to run iOS 7.

Mac book will not boot up,only grey screen with ? on it,Why?
Why won't my Mac book boot up,start up only grey screen with ? showing?
That folder with the question mark icon means that the MacBook can't find the boot directory. That can either mean it can't find the hard drive or the Operating System data on the hard drive is somehow corrupted.
With 10.4, 10.5 or 10.6 put your install DVD into the optical drive (CD/DVD drive) and reboot. Be sure to either use the disc that came with your Mac, or, if you installed a later Mac OS X version from disc, use the newer disc. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option Key until the Install Disk shows up) until the apple shows up. That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
Or if you are running 10.7 Lion, 10.8 Mountain Lion or 10.9 Mavericks, boot from the recovery partition (Command +R on boot) and use Disk Utility to repair your OS 10.7, 10.8 or 10.9 partition.
When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Disk Utility and click it. When it comes up is your Hard Drive in the list on the left?
If it is, then click on the Mac OS partition of your hard drive in the left hand list. Then select the First Aid Tab and run Repair Disk. The Repair Disk button won't be available until you've clicked on the Mac OS partition on your hard drive. If that repairs any problems run it again until the green OK appears and then run Repair Permissions. After repairing use Startup Disk from the same menu to choose your hard drive for restarting from your hard drive.
If your hard drive isn’t recognized in Disk Utility then your hard drive is probably dead. -
IPhone 5 randomly shuts off and it is stuck at the loading screen with codes popping up
My friend's iPhone randomly shuts down today and the loading screen with the apple logo came on with some codes. I tried restarting it manually but the same thing keeps happening. The codes start with [nand] and mention something about blocks. What could be the problem?
Could be a hardware fault. It may need to be replaced.
Have you tried restoring it?

IPhone 5 stuck on boot up screen with data at the top
This morning my iPhone 5 began to do this. It is stuck on the logo with what appears to be booting up data at the top. I have tried holding down the lock button with the home button, but when it turns back on it does this again. I had it work once, but then it shut down on its own and began to do this again. There was absolutely nothing done to the phone. It's not jailbroken, I did not drop it, and it is not water damaged.

IPhone only searches MobileMe in iOS5?
I just noticed that searches under iOS 5 are only matching things in my MobileMe inbox, and not my other IMAP or GMAIL accounts. Is there some preference I am missing to enable searching for the other accounts?
LOL . . . I just knew that someone would ask, and I'm not sure what I did to fix it. The problem was with only one mail account, my .mac address, and only on my 3Gs iPhone.
What I "think" I did (although I thought I'd tried this before and it didn't help), was that on my iPhone, I totally deleted my .Mac account and alias account, and reset the phone, then set it up again. That seems to have been the trick. At the same time, I started the MobileMe mail beta, so I can't say for sure that that might have also in some way fixed it.
Good luck. -
How can I actually PLAY a game on my iPhone 6? When I goto the Game Center and click on games, then click on a specific game (solitaire, for example), all I get is the leaderboards, achievements and player screen. All I want to do is launch the game.
Hi Jordanali!!!
Game Center is just simply used for what you are seeing, leaderboards and stats between your friends and yourself.
To launch an app, first download it from the app store, then just tap the icon on the home screen when it is done downloading!!!
I hope that answers all of your questions! -
I am having trouble accessing Internet sites--especially if I want to move from a downloaded site to a link within it. All I get when seeking to dowload is a blank page and the word Done at the sceeen's foot.
There is also some kind of message in the tool bar referring to 'gif'
What can I do to improve this?
I have downloaded the Beta 4 version in the hope that it might have resolved this issue, but the same thing occurs.
Any help gratefully received. Des Evans
DesevansA possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process.

Title says it all.
Hi Cornelius6505,
Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, the iPhone does not start up past the Apple logo. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.

Reset your phone. Hold down the Sleep and Home buttons until the Apple logo appears. This has no effect on your data.
