Iphone cant recover from a lost of service

I am in canada, my Iphone sometimes lost the carrier signal and a "no service" message appear at the top left corner. The thing is the phone seems unable to recover from it even if I move to a full signal strengh location. I need to do a full hardware power off/on (holding the button) for the signal to come back. This is happening on my wife iphone too and all my friends with iphone have this problem too. the thing is its also happening with multiple service carriers (telus, Bell, fido, ...)
This looks a lot like Iphone software bug to me. That makes me think AT&T is NOT the problem in the US, its the phone.

Carrier was initially set at the Telus store and an carrier update happen when I sync it on Itunes. Its always set on Telus, I dont see any manual/auto settings. I was saying in my initial post that it happen on multiple carriers because my friends with iphones are on Bell and Fido and they also have the same problem. I even saw one of my friend phone went from 5 bars signal to no service while it was just standing there on a desk.
The problem happen yesterday. I set it to airplane mode then set airplane mode off and after that it search for a signal and found it. At least I dont have to reboot it anymore.
Also, the iphone is not very good at picking up signal inside buildings has other phones with the same carrier will pick up 5 bars while the iphone will be go down to 2 for example.

Hi philhardinges,
You can ask Apple support for the replacement receipt, this receipt would have the old iphone information(including Imei) and the replacement iphone information.
I had a problem like you and they sent me that information, then with the old imei you can unlock your iphone
Another way to take the old iphone imei, you can look for the original iphone box, yep, the one i hope you saved carefully somewhere in your house hahaha. The imei is showed on the bottom of the box down-right corner.
Hope this information can help you.
Best regards

Failed to backup my new iPhone, then restored from iPod, lost pics on new iPhone!

I have been using an iPod for two years, and been good about backing it up. I finally bought an iPhone, and backed up my iPod one final time. I then didn't find the time to restore to the new iPhone, and used it for two whole weeks. I finally remembered, and restored from my old to my new iPod. Unfortunately I forgot I had taken 100 pics on my new iPhone, and I lost them all. Are they recoverable? My son's first homecoming and first crew regatta pictures (of course). Heartbroken. I sent a few pics to my son, but I lost the rest. Thanks for helping is you can. Yes, I learned my lesson!

That is a shame. See Backup your iTunes for Windows library with SyncToy for a way to backup your iTunes library and other personal data folders.

Cant Recover from Time Machine after Yosemite upgrade

I have a 27" iMac (w SSD Drive) and after the initial Yosemite upgrade i had to uninstall because it hung trying to boot. After some help from Apple I lost all of the data and apps on my hard drive (thanks???). The restore utility (restart option r) restored me back to Mountain Lion. I wasn't concerned as I have a time machine. I tried to restore from Time Machine using command-r and it is said I don't have enough space? I retried the Yosemite upgrade which seems to be working fine (a couple of reboots and has been ok (cautiously optimistic. I Entered Time Machine and clicked on the last valid backup in the timeline (the time line shows many) and nothing? It should have scrolled backwards but it didn't (the bar highlighted red when I hovered over). I tried to use the little arrow to move back and it doesn't do anything? All I can do is cancel? Am I doing this wrong? Any suggestions?

Yosemite has to index the backup.. over wireless this takes days.. no kidding.. even over ethernet it takes a very long time.
Is the TM backup on a Time Capsule or on external drive??
How long are you waiting?? Please don't expect instant indexing even on fast external drive... and on wireless connection to a TC.. forever could be close to the time period.
If you had have asked before you started down this route.. I would have strongly recommended you take a bootable clone from the disk before you attempted anything.. Carbon Copy Cloner creates a reliable and easily tested backup since you simply boot from it.
Time Machine is now so hard to use, so unreliable when you change OS version.. it is seriously time to stop using Time Machine.. or at least supplement it with something more reliable.

How can I get my Original iPhone to Recover from failed attempt to upgrade?

I have a useless iPhone right now. It has been trying to recover for 90 minutes. For the last hour my PC has a "Verifying iPhone software" dialog box while the phone has a picture of a USB plug and an iTunes logo. Anyone know how to get my phone back?

If the condition persists (after trying Jason L's excellent suggestions) try installing the latest iTunes on another system and give it another go. Don't forget to use the FULL POWER USB ports, and make sure the systems Power Saving functions are disable for the duration of the upgrade. This worked for me.
Mine was "bricked" also and consistently failed/hung at the "verifying..." box on my primary notebook (even though I had updated iTunes and rebooted prior to my the 2.1 > 2.2 attempt.)
I think my upgrade hosed up because I was using the "front" USB ports, and/(or?) I forgot to turn off my Power Saving settings so the USB ports were shut off when I walked away and my machine went into "standby." Not sure which. GOOD LUCK!

How to recover from a lost trust relationship (or zone configuration) between the linux ZCM agent to the Primary Zone server running on the same machine?

I have tried:
zac retr, which fails as it says there is no zone to which this agent
is connected
zac reg, which fails because of error 34 Invalid device authentication
information
zac rereg GUID, which fails because of missing zone (as zac retr)
zac unr, which fails because of the same error.
zac ci shows the correct certificates
almost everything is working except registration refresh and location
refresh.
What to do in this situation?
ZCM 11.2 with latest update (Monthly update 1)
W. Prindl

This was yesterday resolved by NTS - you see the "quick" resolution
time of NTS if you subtract the date of the initial post from the date
of this post - with an absolutely simple trick, which obviously nobody
did know of. The support engineer got it from the developer team.
There is a switch in the
/opt/novell/zenworks/share/tomcat/webapps/zenworks-registration/WEB-INF/
config.xml configuration file, with which you can switch authentication
off for device registration.
You just need to add <Authenticate>false<\Authenticate> into the only
configuration this file contains.
This suppresses the error 34 on device registration and the device gets
registered correctly upon restart of the zenworks suite. After this is
done one can change back the above mentioned file to the original state
and restart the zenworks suite again.
The solution was really easy to deploy - the time till this resolution
was found was IMO too long.

Recovering from a lost EM OMS MGMT server?

We recently had a disaster where we lost our enterprise mgr OMS. We were running the OMS version 10.2.0.4 on linux x86 and our agents are also running on linux and they are the 10.2.0.4 agents.
So long story short, we have to rebuild the mgmt station and I am wondering if I will need to reinstall the agents or will they be able to register with the new OMS

Hi,
If the new installation is having same "old name" and port then I guess,you don't have to make any changes.
If it's different name,You can refer to metalink ID 413228.1,for relocating agents.

Right click on the .exe file and select run as admin. This will allow it to run all the processes it needs and should help it work. If the problem is not fixed you should try waiting till a new update, that often fixes ios issues.
On other problem could be a hardware issue, try a new cable and use it in a different USB socket.

I bought a iphone 4 from a friend of mine a uear ago i never i used it untill today and i cant unlock it and i have service coming to the phone i contacted atnt they told me the phone is unlocked but it has find my iphone activared and he forgot his

You can't bypass it, your friend will have to remember or reset his password to be able to reactivate the phone - he should be able to reset the password via http://iforgot.apple.com

I recently updated my iPhone 4s to ios6, and lost 1200 odd contacts. I have a backup from about 4-5 months ago avaiable. Can I add/update contacts from the back up rather than restore which i assume will literally delete any new contacts added...?

I recently updated my iPhone 4s to ios6, and lost 1200 odd contacts. I recently sold my macbook air and also my mac book pro, so have no recent backups avaiable. I have a backup from about 4-5 months ago available on an external hdd as a time machine backup. Can I add/update contacts from the back up rather than restore? The reason i wish to do this is because in the update i didnt lose any messages, so all of the people i have met and networked with since that last update those many months ago, i have in my messages listings. They are all unidentified numbers at present but over time i will be able to work through the messages and based on the conversation recall who each was with. Also, yesterday, some two weeks after the update had left my contacts list entirely empty... a vast majority just reappeard, though all of them are without any phone numbers, all just emails or facebook contacts. This is the work of facebook not mac/ios6 isnt it...? Any help here would be greatly apprecaited. I am about 2 days from flying to canada and having those contacts would make life a lot easier.

You should be syncing your contacts with an app on your computer or cloud service (iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo, etc), and not relying on a backup. If you haven't been doing this, start now and then restore your old backup. You will then be able to sync the new contacts back into the phone. However, you will lose all messages, etc newer thant the backup.

I lost my ipod i bought i new one...i just wanna know if i can still recover all the songs i bought and downloaded from my lost ipod to the new one..if i can how will i do that since i downloaded everything and bought in my ipod not in my computer

i lost my ipod and i just bought a new one...i just wanna know if i can still recover my downloads from my lost one to the new one since i bought and downloaded all the songs through my ipod and not through computer..if i can, how can i do that?

Nope.
Apple recomends after each purchase to BACKUP your purchases. If purchased on a mobile device (iPhone, iTouch, iPod, etc) you should transfer your purchases to a computer running iTunes as soon as possible to back them up.
If you don't have your items in your library, I'm afraid there is little recourse.
Hope you did not loose too much.

Lost Contacts, Use iPhone to Recover?

On the assumption that Backup was setup and that .Mac Sync was turned on, my girlfriend recently lost all of her Contacts, Calendars, and Safari Bookmarks when installing Leopard. All of her other data was backed up to an external HD, however, we both assumed that the .Mac items were already saved. Obviously a pivotal learning lesson for us both, however, can we use the iPhone to recover any data?
Thanks!

Contacts and calendars will sync back to your PC from the phone
When you sync contacts though make sure you create at least a contact in your PC's address book so that the information will merge between PC and phone

And my iTunes sign in is also screwed up... It is underneath my friends email (the one with my backed up data on his Mac laptop) HOW DO I CHANGE THIS SO THAT I CAN DOWNLOAD APP's again...

I suspect unless he had some items in iCloud backup then they are gone. Connecting an iPhone to a different library from that to which it was previously connected will result in the device asking if you want to erase it.

HT201269 My wife switched from an iPhone 4 to an iPhone 5. Everything transferred over and service is on the new phone. However, texts are going to her old phone still. Any idea what the problem is?

As long as iMessage is enabled and the old phone is connected to a WiFi access point, it will continue to receive iMessage texts. It won't receive non-iMessage texts nor will it receive any calls.
