Iphone need to restore almost every day

Hello,
I have an IPHONE 3GS which I purchased in Italy (open for all the networks).
About a week ago in the middle of the day the iphone suddenly had “no service” sign and I couldn’t get any calls. I tried to restart but it showed the screen “iphone need to restore” – I was than in version 3.1.2 .
Since then I tried to restored it for many times and upgrade to 4.1 firmware. Most of the times I get the restore error 1013. But a few times the restore succeeded and the iphone worked for half a day until it showed the “no service” sign again and I couldn’t use it.
Can anyone please advise me what to do? There is no apple service in my country.
Thanks,
Amir

Hi,
I read the message from the link you send,
On my iphone the IMEI sometimes is unknown and sometimes is 011983006774560 (not the default).
Now i cant even restore it because the i-tune display that there is no SIM card although there is.
What can it be?
Thanks,
Amir

Email on my iphone 3 stops working almost every day.

My email stops working on my iphone 3 almost every day, and I have to reset the passwords, power on and off. Then it works again. Any suggestions?

Then you didn't read it carefully enough. Here is the applicable part of that page:
If you're running software update 1.1.3, please note that tapping the 'Gmail' button will automatically configure Gmail IMAP. Here's how to set up POP:
Tap Mail from your iPhone's Home screen.
Tap Other.
Select POP from the tab menu.
Enter your name, email address, and password in the appropriate fields. The Address field should be your full email address ([email protected]). Google Apps users, enter your full address in the format 'username@your_domain.com.'
Under Incoming Mail Server, fill in the Host Name field as 'pop.gmail.com.' Google Apps users, enter the server names provided, don't add your domain name in this step.
Under Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP), fill in the Host Name field as 'smtp.gmail.com.'
Tap Save. Now you're done!
If you notice that POP access isn't working properly, please ensure that all your settings are correct by following these instructions:
From the Home menu, tap Settings.
Select your Gmail address.
Scroll to the bottom of the page and tap Advanced.
Ensure that your settings are as follows:
Incoming Uses SSL: ON
Outgoing Uses SSL: ON
Authentication: Password
If you're accessing your Gmail from multiple POP clients, we recommend setting Use Recent Mode to ON.

TS2755 My iPhone 4 says that I need to restore it every day, even after I have already restored it. When I try to restart the phone after receiving the restore message, it then changes and says "activation required". How do I fix this?

My iPhone 4 keeps having the "Restore Needed" message pop up on my phone. I have restored my phone several times this week, and it still keeps happening. The "Restore Needed" message pops up, so I immediately do a hard shut-down. Once the phone restarts, the phone then says "Activation Required". I keep shutting down and restarting the phone, and sometimes it snaps out of it, seemingly on its own. Sometimes I have to go home and restore and activate my phone. How do I fix this? I'm 2.5 hours away from the closest Apple store and 1 hour away from the closest AT&T store.
Thanks!
Autumn

Make the time and take it to the Apple Store. Make an appointment first. Or you can call AppleCare and go for a mail in replacement.

IPhone needs to be reactivated every day

Ive gone through some problems for the last week where I need to re-activate my phone everyday, and the re-activation takes about 2 days
The first time, I was getting NO SERVICE, or No Bars, or Full Bars, but with no AT&T Next to it. So every call I made or text I sent, failed.
I was told to get a new SIM Card, I did, had to re-activate the new card. I did..took 2 days..got a text saying my phone was OK, and it was...for 6 hours..Then I had the same problem (NO SERVICE, or No Bars, or Full Bars, but with no AT&T Next to it. So every call I made or text I sent, failed.)
Called AT&T Tech Support who we all know is quite possibly the most horrible Tech Support to sit at a computer, tell me to of course, take my battery out...gotta love that...reboot my phone...and then finally, tell me I need a new SIM...
So Yea, I bit, I got a new SIM, did the same process from above and got the same EXACT results...
Now, my phone just activated again... for how long? Well its 11:47AM EST, and the phone was activated @ 10AM...lets see how long it lasts this time....
ANYONE know whats going on? Or have the same problem?

There should be no reason that your phone should require re-activation on a daily basis or more frequent basis.
Since you continue to change the SIM card and I am not sure that all SIM cards would have the same problem and more paramount, AT&T authorizes all sorts of phones on their network and all of those phones appear to be working it is not an AT&T problem since all SIM based phones would be effected.
I would also guess that the SIM card is a dumb device that does not broadcast and I would also assume that the iPhone does in fact do the broadcast of the SIM identification. Knowing that I would say that there is a defect in the phone when it interfaces with the SIM.
Did you ever change the SIM card out prior to these problems arising or did you at one time try to insert a SIM card backwards or force the insertion?
Not having any technical details to analyze I would say that the iPhone contacts that lay against the SIM card contacts is the basis of your problem.

My iPad WiFi Almost Every Day Keeps Disconnecting, especially if I am watching a video online. How do I fix this?

My iPad WiFi Almost Every Day Keeps Disconnecting, especially if I am watching a video online. How do I fix this?

Howdy Danny_98,
Here is a great article to help troubleshoot wifi connectivity with your iOS device. Named iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections it can be found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1398.
Be sure that you are in range of your Wi-Fi router (access point).
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi off and then on again.If unable to do so, see this article.
Confirm that your Wi-Fi router and Cable or DSL modem are connected to power, turned on, and indicate that they are connected to the Internet.If not, refer to your network administrator or ISP for assistance.
Restart your iOS device.
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you are connected. Then tap > and Forget this Network. Try to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network again.
Note: You will need to enter your Wi-Fi password again if your desired network requires one.
Turn your Wi-Fi router off and then on again2. If your ISP also provides cable or phone service, check with them before attempting this step to avoid interruption of service.
Update your device to the latest version of software.
Update your Wi-Fi router to the latest firmware2.For AirPort Base Stations, see this article for information about firmware updates.
Those are the basic troubleshooting steps and there is another section toward the bottom named Wi-Fi disconnects, or signal strength is less than expected that is very relevant as well.

Have to "Set up Bluetooth Device" for wireless trackpad and keyboard almost every day

Almost every day when I turn on my MacBook Air in my home office, my Apple wireless keyboard and trackpad do not automatically reconnect. They used to connect just fine when I was in the viscinity, but now (for the past 6 months or so) I almost always have to:
Bluetooth > Set up Bluetooth Device
Turn off the keyboard (hold down the power button for several seconds)
Turn the keyboard back on (hold down power button for several seconds)
Go through the setup wizard
Repeat for the trackpad
Things that don't work:
Pressing the button on each Bluetooth device
Restarting each Bluetooth device
Turning Bluetooth on and off
Setting the Bluetooth devices as "Favorites"
Selecting the device from the Bluetooth menu item and clicking "Connect"
Rebooting my MacBook Air
Resetting the NVRAM / PRAM
Once the device is connected for the day, I do appear to be able to "Disconnect" and then "Connect" again from the Bluetooth menu item. The devices will also automatically reconnect by pressing a button on them. It just appears to lose the "lease" on them or whatever after a little less than a day.
I'm trying to think of other troubleshooting steps I could take and it just occurred to me that I could try swapping them with the peripherals I use at work (which are possibly newer models, but otherwise identical). Any other suggestions?

Huzzah! Less than 1 week after finally getting fed up and posting this question, I have discovered the root cause - my wife had been inadvertently stealing my keyboard and mouse connection whenever she turned on her laptop! She's using my hand-me-down MacBook Pro which I thought I had reset, but apparently it remembered its Bluetooth connections.
I had suspected something similar since I occasionally used the wireless keyboard with my iPad, but had already ruled that out.
I can't believe I figured this out after 6 months of mild frustration, but just days after posting this question

I have CS2 and I use it almost every day.. Today when I tried to launch it, a prompt came up saying my Activation was no longer valid and it closed automatically. Then when I tried to re-open it, a prompt came up saying "A serious error has occured" Ple

I have CS2 and I use it almost every day.. Today when I tried to launch it, a prompt came up saying my Activation was no longer valid and it closed automatically. Then when I tried to re-open it, a prompt came up saying "A serious error has occured" Please re-install the software... I have no idea where my software is... That was many many years ago? HELP!!

When you go to the download page, you must do two things:
Download this file: PhSp_CS2_English.exe on the download page.
Use the serial number on the download page in order to install your non-activation copy.
Do not use your old CD or serial number. It no longer works.
If you have Windows 7, the advice is to turn off UAC and run the installer as Administrator.

Why does new Safari screen appear almost every day?

Almost every day, I get a screen welcoming me to Safari, as if I had never used Safari before. This has been going on for about a week. In each case, I reset the settings, but the next day a new "Welcome" screen appears.

Leonard --
This happened to me, and I started paying really close attention to what I was doing . . .. I found that, being used to a wired Apple mouse, I got into the habit of tapping on the top of the mouse while waiting for the page to change. This sets off Zoom on the Magic Mouse.
So see if that's what's happening with you. I have to really watch it. I've gotten much better at not subconsciously tapping on the top, but it still happens every once in a great while. Otherwise, I love the Magic Mouse.
EDIT: If this is what's happening with you, you can undo it by tapping again on the top of the mouse. It's like a toggle.

My IPhone need to restore, but I want to backup my data first. Itunes keep telling me you must restore this iphone before it can be used. How I can backup my data?

At this point it is too late. When you restore it will restore the backup made at the time of the last sync. And changes to the phone's content after that last sync will be lost.

Have to install flash player almost every day

It seems like I have to un-install the re-install flash
player almost every day. I download it one day every thing works

Does anyone else have this problem? Thanks.

Yes I do!

You think these are the only/main cause of security issues?
As a developer let me tell you it is far from the case. Most security issues are a direct result of user carelesness.
Let me give you an example....
I'm just a loley ole developer, no one special, but I do create many web apps/mobile apps, and many are free, and widely distributed.
One example is a social networking web app based on html5 and google maps api - a gps enabled social web app.
trufaces.com
This is just one example of hundreds, I offer free hosting services truimagz.com/host and mush more.
Anyway, the point is... do you have any idea how many people sign up using an email adress and their actuall email password as their login info?
90%+
I, just some schmuck, have access to over 50,000 email accounts and passwords at any given moment. Thank god I'm trustworthy eh?
Just food for thought.

Why is my Macbook Pro Retina freezing almost every day since I have installed Mavericks?

I bought my Macbook Pro Retina in March and only use it lightly for school. I don't do anything crazy on it, and I have used barely any space on it. I have never had any problems in terms of freezing, but ever since I installed Mavericks, it's been freezing almost every day. Is there any way to stop this? It's very frustrating because I will be in the middle of something and it will just stop working. The only way to stop the freezing is to hold down the power button until it shuts down. By the time I restart it, I've lost my work. I wouldn't mind reverting back to Mountain Lion, if it's possible, because I never had any problems with it. But if I can fix it without reverting to Mountain Lion, that would be preferable. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Lots of people have this problem too but no one has a reply, any suggestions??

Hub 3 needs to be restarted every day to restore s...

Hi
Every day, our Hub 3 needs restarting to restore our speed. It has been constantly 37+ MBPS for months. Recently, both wired LAN and wireless connections have slowed to 3Mbps.
Speeds checked on BT Wholesale Speedchecker, Lan and Wifi
All ususal checks completd
Used BT to check the following:
Line Checked = OK
Problems in our area = 0
Used Inssider to identify wireless channel 1 as clear from interference. Speeds still drop (Both Lan and Wifi)
Reset the Hub and Hey Presto, speedy Wifi and Lan for a few hours.
Wake up in the morning, same old story, slooow infinity.
Reset the Hub and Hey Presto, speedy Wifi and Lan.
Get home from work, slow again, and around in circles we go for another week.

Make a direct connection from your PC to the modem which will eliminate the homehub. Follow this guide to do that. Use your computer as normal for a while to see what speeds you get. If the speeds do not improve you will know it is probably a faulty hub. Obviously you can not use wireless devices or other wired connections when doing this.
Step 1: Remove the homehub from the modem
Step2: Connect your pc/laptop into the modem using LAN1 port
Step3: Open network and sharing centre on windows and click set up a new connection or network
Step4: Connect to the internet then click make a new connection Broadband PPPoE
Step5: Username [email protected] and the password as BT
Step6: connect, If it doesn't,keep pressing try again until it does.

Downloaded 5.01 and latest itunes. Had errors on iphone needed to restore now when i plug into itunes it freezes I need to use task master to close.if i plug my wifes phone in no problems with itunes took it to apple store tech no help.

Have iphone 3g with 5.0 I downloaded 5.01 for phone and itunes latest download. Had errors on download and needed to restore. Everything came back except apps.
Pluged into itunes and it gave me the restore screen. restored again. Now when i plug into itunes it shows my phone but freezes up. I need to use task master to close itunes. Went to apple store tech. No help said to use Icloud but no WiFi is available. My wife's phone works fine with itunes.

Basic troubleshooting steps clearly outlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new device.
If you have gone through ALL the above steps and are still having problems, then you'll need to bring your phone into Apple for evaluation.
