IPhone unable to reconnect to carrier after loss of signal

Hi, my iPhone 4 is not able to reconnect to my carrier every time I leave a place that is out of coverage. Sometimes even after I restart or reboot my iPhone, it is still unable to reconnect to my carrier. It'll only reconnect to my carrier after I reset everything through my phone or restore through my PC. thanks

I've seen it but it doesn't correspond to any of the behaviour in my case. The issue was resolved when TuneUp was re-installed which I'm not comfortable with, but have to live with until I find a better solution.
If anyone comes up with a better workaround than mine, please keep me posted here.
cheers all, peace out. :-)

  • IPhone unable to reconnect to iTunes due to error  0xE80000003 under Windows 7

    uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes to the latest version according to the iTunes support.
    The error continues to haunt the computer on all USB ports.
    This actually happened after the TuneUp plugin got installed and was uninstalled via Control Panel.
    Please help as I have to get music friom the iTunes to my iPhone very soon (like yesterday)
    Thanks for your help.

  • Iphone unable to Sync with Itunes after the 5.0.1 IOs upgrade

    I get an error message when I try to sync my iPhone 4 with my iTunes. It reads:
    "The iPhone "XXXX" cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all the selected items (additional 7.25GB required)."
    My status bar for the phone on iTunes says that with everything selected, I have 2.7GB free on my phone.
    I've also noticed that when it attempts to sync it cancels the sync after attempting to download something about a Safari safe downloading something or other (I've never been able to catch the whole wording because it cancels shortly after the attempted download)
    This is frustrating, how might this be fixed, or how might I downgrade my OS to a previous version?
    Thanks!

    3 things to try:
    1. disable anti trojan / virus real time scanners - close and reopen itunes - try to sync
    2. disable firewall - close and reopen itunes - try to sync
    3. disable your wifi and/or lan connection - close and reopen itunes - try to sync
    (vpn software also seems to cause problems sometimes)
    it seems they made some changes in the way it connects (prob in for the tethering) and its causing some issues for some (my connection failure was caused by -a squared- my anti trojan program)

  • Unable to Connect to WiFi after iPhone power off; WiFi & internet are working with MBP; common problem, no solutions?

    Here's my setup: Internet <> Comcast/xFinity supplied cable modem <> new Apple Time Capsule <> iPhone 4 & MacBook Pro (see below for hardware details)
    Internet on my iPhone 4 has been acting slow since yesterday evening. My MacBook Pro was running fine, but just to be sure I checked the Comcast website to see that I have only used 50GB of my allotted 250 GB of data for the month, so it's not that.
    I decided it must be a problem with just my iPhone, so I opened up the multitasking bar and quit everything in there manually, and then I held the on/off button, and slid the slider to power off. When I started back up, I could not connect to the same WiFi I had just been using. I tried to reconnect and nothing. I tried to forget the network and try again, nothing. I tried to reset all network settings, nothing.
    I have tried all the steps listed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398 "iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections"
    Toggled WiFi off and back on
    Made sure I am in range of the router (it's about 8 feet away and my iPhone reports full signal from the network)
    Made sure all the hardware is connected and on
    Checked other devices (I'm successfully connected with my MacBook Pro right now)
    Checked for router firmware upgrades (I have a new Time Capsule from Apple with the current 7.5.2 firmware which I've been using for a month)
    Restarted my device (again)
    Checked that the network is available (it does show on my iPhone)
    Restarted my Time Capsule
    Checked my router configuration as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3727 "Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network" which involves simply checking to see that WMM is turned on, also stating that WMM cannot be enabled or disabled for Apple's AirPort products.
    Reset my network settings (again)
    I have searched and searched for fixes to this problem, and I have additionally tried:
    Enabling/disabling Airplane Mode
    Disabling any network password protection/encryption (no luck), re-enabling it (no luck)
    Changing the network password
    Checking for hardware addresses present in iOS Settings > General > About (they are present and not zero'ed out)
    Switching Bluetooth off (nothing) and back on (nothing)
    ....and probably a few other things I can't think of right now
    I have yet to try:
    The "Freezer Trick" which apparently involves chilling the iPhone to get a temporary fix?
    Restoring the iPhone (I would really rather not)
    A different WiFi network (other than my own Time Capsule home network or guest network, both of which give the same Unable to Connect error)
    So, after all of that, are there any more ideas? Is there a reliable solution to this issue? So far I've just seen a lot of "mess with the settings," "the freezer trick worked," and "blame it on the iOS 4 update."
    Here are my hardware details:
    iPhone 4; iOS 5; 32GB; AT&T; no cellular data plan (July 2011)
    TimeCapsule6,113; Firmware 7.5.2; 2TB (September 2011)
    MacBook Pro 3,1; Mac OS X (10.7.2); 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo; Hi-Res Display; 4GB RAM; 500GB HD (August 2007)
    ...and the Time Capsule config:
    http://cl.ly/BCUt

    Ugh. Apparently "messing with it" is still the answer. I decided to try the LinkSys router I was using before I bought the Time Capsule, and my iPhone connected with no problem.
    I went through the steps again, and after rebooting my Time Capsule this time, I can connect again. The troubling thing it that this started with a power-off of my iPhone. No changes or installations, just a reset. Am I going to have to reboot my Time Capsule (which has no power switch, just a cord I have to unplug) every time I reboot my iPhone?
    Jinkies.

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

  • Unable to reconnect to wireless network after closing lid on macbook pro

    After installing recent software updates, I am unable to reconnect to my wireless network when I close the lid on my macbook. It says that it is "connected", but I can't access any website, check e-mail or ping any external server.
    I've never had a problem before, but now that I've installed software updates in the past few weeks I noticed the problem.
    Anyone have any ideas?
    MacBook Pro (Intel)   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    which ultimately means apple didn't do enough testing before releasing the last patch
    This is not always, and may not be, the case. What many don't realise is that many 3rd party developers stray from the 802.11 series specifications in an attampt to boost speed and get one up on their competitors. For instance D-Link, amongst others, use a short preamble setting by default in some of their routers to improve performance. However, this is non-standard and when it comes across wireless network adapters that don't support this then you have problems. They assume that their network adapters are being used for "maximum speed and compatibility". Whether Apple should or should not support a short preamble is another subject altogether.
    However, I do agree with you in that Apple should put more work into their Airport software.

  • When does Apple will take unlocking for Mexico (Telcel) iPhones seriously? Because That carrier give thousands of evasive responses to people that ask for an unlocking service after their contracts are done...

    When does Apple will take unlocking for Mexico (Telcel) iPhones seriously? Because That carrier give thousands of evasive responses to people that ask for an unlocking service after their contracts are done...

    This is the best invention to make people buy new devices. Why am I asking this to Apple???? Maybe I´m wrong and I have to ask to Microsoft or maybe Google? There is a law that obligates all carrier companies to unlock those devices that are off contract. But even with this, this company denies to do it. They suppor their idea in the fact that that law was published on Oct´12, so brilliantly they have solved to unluck only those devices bought after that date..... I have all those evidences but all are in spanish.....

  • Do I void manufacturer's warranty if I unlock my iPhone 5 from my Canadian carrier?

    Hi
    I am looking at signing onto a contract or tab for an iPhone 5, in Canada, using one of the local providers (Rogers, Telus, Bell, Virgin etc). I was told in one store that obtaining an iPhone 5 on this basis will mean it is locked to the network and that all the networks here are unable to unlock them. I could do it through a third party but that would void my manufacturer's warranty (ie AppleCare).
    The Apple store here in Calgary told me different - they said that phones are easily unlocked for a fee by carriers, and didn't mention any loss of warranty. I have previously unlocked a phone through iTunes in Australia, and have had the same phone serviced by Apple with no problems at all.
    Could someone please clarify what is really the case here in Canada?
    Thanks

    if an iPhone is unlocked by the carrier who applied the lock it is permanent
    and issue free and has no effect on warranty
    The carriers lock the iPhones to their network because the subsidise the cost of the handset ,
    simple ,
    protecting their investment
    Only they can unlock ,some will some will NOT you have to establish the terms and cost
    and whether they do offer unlocking
    see here for Canadian Carriers offering unlocking

  • Unable to view photos although after sycronising after upgrade to IOS 5.1.

    Hi, I'm unable to view the photos after syncronising although application shows that I've successfully syncronise 9 photos. None can be displayed.This is after upgraded to IOS 5.1.Pls help.

    Completely agree with you, bladddddd.
    There really should be a toggle in the cellular menu to switch between LTE, 3G &amp; 2G. Carriers in some parts of the world may well be switching off the 2G service, but that doesn't apply to everyone &amp; certainly not where I am in the UK.
    I spoke to AppleCare about my problem last month, but they were unfortunately quite hopeless, not knowing that the easiest way for me to recover my original carrier settings in iOS 6.0.2, would have been for me to carry out a full reset &amp; restore from a backup. :(
    I did too pass on my annoyance with the inability to switch back to 2G, should I want to, after an over-the-air carrier settings update has taken place &amp; has subsequently replaced the 3G toggle with the LTE toggle.
    I have also completed the feedback form some weeks ago. I hope others having this same issue will do this too:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
    Hopefully, Apple may bother to actually take some notice of this problem, which will now affect a lot of iPhone 5 users.
    The next iOS update will hopefully include the ability to override a carrier settings update &amp; falling back to a 2G signal, should users want to, or need to, particularly in order to reduce the strain on the battery.
    Until such an update is released, I'm sticking to iOS 6.0.2 :(

  • Unable to update new carrier setting

    unable to update new carrier setting for iPhone 3G, it says error occurred (0xE8000001)

    I am having the same problem.
    Bought iPhone 3G on Vodafone AU.
    Paid Voda to unlock it.
    When I plug in to itunes I get a 'your carrier settings can now be updated would you like to proceed' sort of message. The first time I connect it then says 'Carrier Settings Updated' Yet i get no signal.
    NEXT TIME I sync, it tries again, and then i get the same error as listed in this post.
    I've tried this on TWO PC's (in every port!) and on a MacBook Pro (both USB ports).
    I initially thought maybe Vodafone were just being slack in unlocking the phone, but have since found out that APPLE do the unlocking at their end and have basically put my IMEI number on their 'white list', so every time I sync it checks with Apple and lets me have a different version of software that unlocks the phone.
    It's very frustrating, because the restore process takes about 15 mins, so I keep just trying random different things, but no one has any firm instructions.
    Can I please confirm this is what I am meant to be doing.
    1. Swap SIM to NEW sim.
    2. Plug in to iTunes.
    3. Carrier settings will then update.
    4. RESTORE iPhone 3G.
    5. SHOULD BE ALL OK... but after restore it will say 'please insert a compatible SIM that is unlocked. (ie, put the vodafone SIM back in!)
    Am I missing something obvious? or is this an Apple issue.

    Iphone 4 personal Hotspot not working after update to IOS 7.1 India BSNL cellular

    BSNL is not a supported carrier. Personal Hotspot requires carrier support and provisioning of the account to enable it. iOS 7.1 disabled the ability to manually configure Personal Hotspot on unsupported carriers.
