Iphone wont connect to network and ios 7.0.4 wont update

I received an iphone 4S for Christmas and having a few problems with it now. The battery went dead to days ago and when I charged it and powered it on the phone will no longer connect to the network. It keeps 'searching' for it but cannot connect. I obviously cannot make or receive calls or messages or use apps as I have no 3G.
I phoned my network provider and they said the network is fine and its a fault with the phone.
I noticed when comparing it to my friends phone that I do not have a "carrier" tab within my Settings. Is this the reason why it won't connect?
I have a notification that I am to update my phone to ios 7.0.4. however the following error message appears "Unable to Install Update. An error occurred installing ios 7.0.4". How do I update this software and will this update the 'carrier' tab that seems to be missing??
Any ideas of what to do?
I have tried connecting it to my iTunes, turning it on and off again, updating all my apps but nothing is working......

Hey there, Liam1123!
I have two articles here that will help you troubleshoot this issue with your iPhone:
iPhone: Troubleshooting No Service
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4429
If the issue is still present after following the troubleshooting steps in that article, you may need to restore your iPhone. Since you’ve already tried to update the iPhone and received an error message, I would suggest restoring the phone by following the instructions in this article:
If you can't update or restore your iOS device

  • HTF do i get my iPhone to connect to network after iOS7 upgrade? (Upgrade--really?)

    HTF do i get my iPhone to connect to network after iOS7 upgrade?  Upgrade?  Really?   I'm just really upset that I have to continually make concessions to someone else and my product does NOT work the way it should, and has done in the past!!!!

    Depends on your browser and it may appear in your downloads folder to run.  If you are using IE, it will appear on the bottom of the screen, Google Chrome, bottom of the screen, Firefox, top of the screen with an big arrow

    Greetings Socs4bill,
    It seems your iPod has been exposed to liquid and is not operating properly. Based on the information you have provided, it appears your iPod needs to be serviced. The following link should help you get started with the process and has links with additional information on topics such as warranty and service pricing, battery replacement, and express replacement service.

  • My firefox page is not connecting to network and also its not displaying the troubleshoot problems option?

    my firefox page is not connecting to network and also its not displaying the troubleshoot problem option?

    At the very least, I recommend you restart your router, (your internet box).
    More detail on your problem is needed - are you in a submarine? On the moon? On a tropical island?
    You can help yourself by providing as much info as you can about your present situation - what kind of router do you have? Have you moved it? DId you update it?  Did you do anything to change your setup, and if you did, what?

    The sound on my Iphone 4 is really quiet and muffled, i have the latest update and have restored it but it is still the same, can anyone help?

    Through the headphones or through the speaker?
    Have you consistently played sound through the speaker at a high volume with a lot of bass?
    Have you tested it with multiple apps/songs/movies?

  • IPhone will connect to network but wont load any internet pages.

    OK, I have an iPhone (1.1.1) and an apple airport graphite base station which is connected to a D-Link G604T router.
    iPhone will connect to the airport but wont load any internet pages. My iBook works fine on the internet when connected to the airport.
    Any ideas?
    Thnanks.

    Daniel Langer,
    Make sure the graphite base station is configured as a bridge, and not assigning IP addresses itself if the D-Link is doing DHCP.
    If it is acting as a router, you will have NAT occurring twice, which can have a variety of issues.
    Hope this helps,

  • ITunes freezes with iPhone, when connected to network

    iTunes started to freeze with latest version (9), when iPhone is connected.
    I tryed everything from the Apple support page:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1421
    The last sentence on that page is "Disconnect your computer from the Internet"
    iTunes is working well with iPhone, when network is disabled, but how I can fix it? What could be the problem?

    Errors 3000-3999 (3004, 3013, 3014, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the update server (gs.apple.com) on ports 80 or 443.
    Update to the latest version of iTunes.
    Verify the computer's date and time are accurate.
    Check that your security or firewall software is not interfering with ports 80 or 443, or with the server gs.apple.com.
    Follow Troubleshooting security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
    An entry in your hosts file may be redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (see "Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com" above).
    Internet proxy settings can cause this issue. If you are using a proxy, try without using one.
    Test restoring while connected to a known-good network.

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tends to indicate a problem with your network.
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on your router
    .- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network      
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
