  • My phone is stuck on "searching" for network after power down - help!

    I uploaded the new 6.0.01 software 2 weeks ago and my phone flipped out so I took it into Apple store and they gave me a new SIM card and the ATT rep told me to power down my phone every week or so.  So I powered the phone down last night and since I turned it on this morning it is stuck on "searching" for network.  I have WIFI in the hoouse so I have email use but no phone or texting.  How do I get my phone back on track and connected to the Netwrok?
    Thanks so much!

  • I can not store all my Music on my internal Macbook pro hard drive so I am storing it on a large external drive connected to my airport extrem.  How do I get Itunes to search for the music here with out trying to copy it to my laptops hard drive??

    I can not store all my Music on my internal Macbook pro hard drive so I am storing it on a large external drive connected to my airport extreme (2 TB drive plugged into the USB port).  I see the drive on my laptop and I can add and delete files no problem.  How do I get Itunes to search for the music here with out trying to copy it to my laptop's hard drive?  I don't have enough space to do that.

    How did you move the music to the external drive?  What exactly is on the drive?  The entire iTunes folder or only music?  If it is the entire iTunes folder you can do the option+start suggestion earlier.  If you copied only music and did so by dragging it there then you need to delete it again and consolidate/organize it there instead so iTunes tracks the move.  iTunes 12 for Mac: Change where your iTunes files are stored - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH19507

  • Iphone 5s - Calls Breaking Up - Searching for Network

    Hello.
    I recently started using my new Iphone 5s and I have a big problem.
    Every call I get or make, the call suddenly breaks up during the first minute. My network reception bar drops to 1 bar, then says "searching..." briefly, and then it comes back. But the call is already gone. There are no problems when I remake the call. But I get this problem with every single call that I make. I've never had a problem with my Iphone 4 for 2 years, so I don't think it's about my carrier. Anyone else experiencing the same problem? Any suggestions?

    I have the same problem. My phone keeps "Searching..." for network, and if I don't fix it, it can go on like that for days. I tried several solutions, Reset Network Settings, Reset All Settings, hard reset, and finally I restored my iphone to factory settings then re installed ios 8.1.3, which I had trouble doing because my phone took 4 days to finally have a successful restore. I am not sure if this is about updating to ios 8.1.3, but all of this happened to my iphone 5s a few days after updating. Anyway, after my phone had miraculously went thru with the restore, my phone was back to the way it was, but after 2 days, it went back to searching for network again whenever I get to an area with poor signal. I put phone in Airplane mode for about 10-20 mins, then turn off Airplane mode to check if signal is back. If it still  doesnt, I reset network settings, then airplane mode again. I have not yet used reset all settings since my iPhone restore. I tried to google and see if this really is an ios problem or just my case, then I came across your question. The latest fix I did just this morning is I plugged my phone to my wall charger and tried to dial a number and pressing the green call button several times until the signal went back. That was by far the simplest solution I have discovered, but I still can't say if that IS the solution because it was just my first time to do it. I advise you not to restore your phone because in my case, mine took 4 days to until i was able to use my phone again since restoring wasn't working. You don't want to end up with a dead brick phone. With mine,  I just kept trying until it went thru and I don't think I will be doing the restore all over again because of what happened.  I hope this is just a problem with ios update and that apple will soon find a permanent fix to this.

  • Stuck on searching for network

    i have an at&t 4s and its stuck on "Searching" for a network. I've tried everything but removing the sim card. Cant send text or make calls while searching and inputting text is really slow when it switches to searching.

    I also would love to know whats going on im having the exact same issues alot matter of fact its goes into search mode quite often sometimes it then goes to NO SERVICE and its def the phone not the carrier, i have to do a full power off to restore service again usually that works..Sometimes the phone is deemed unuseable...ugh so frustrating..

  • My I pad only turns on for a second then runs out of battery again

    So my ipad ran out of battery so I connected it to a wall charger. It re-boot but the lock screen flashes for about a second then runs out of battery again. I have tried well over 20 times to fix it but nothing worked. Any suggestions?

    Not charging
    1. Reset iPad; hold the Sleep/Wake and Home button down until you see the Apple Logo
    2. Try another wall socket
    3. Try another cable (make sure it's an original Apple cable)
    4. Try another charger (make sure it's an original Apple charger)
    5. Clean Lightning port with compress air or new paint brush

  • Running PC to MAC migration assistant.  See each other.  PC gets stuck at  searching for user files.

    How long does the program inspect the computer (pc)? PC showed it was searching for pictures, then moved on to documents...and 8 hours later is still searching for documents. The mac and pc have stayed awake as far as i can tell and there is nothing running on the PC. When does it finish? I have about 30GB to transfer. I just got a 27" iMac.
    On the PC, there is no HD activity but the process is using up 50% of the CPU... 
    I ran this during the initial setup of the MAC. 
    Any ideas ?

    It will vary based on how much data is being transferred however 8 hours sounds too long for only 30GB. I'm assuming you are using an Ethernet cable though.
    My suggestion is to contact AppleCare, you  have 90 days of free phone support so that is where I'd go first. The number is in your manual or you can bookmark AppleCare Contact Info

  • TS1398 Hi my iPhone 4S won't even search for networks.

    is there anything that can be done to fix this?
    I thought I'd give the chat room a go before taking it in to the store.
    Thanks

    Hi there,
    Thanks I just tried that and it hasn't fixed it.
    Thanks for answering though, much appreciated.

  • My iPhone is getting stuck for a few seconds everytime I do something,  if i type a letter it will type it twice or a few times, if i click to close the browser it stucks there for a few seconds before closing, if i try to open some app it gets stuck ther

    My iPhone is getting stuck for a few seconds everytime I do something,  if i type a letter it will type it twice or a few times, if i click to close the browser it stucks there for a few seconds before closing, if i try to open some app it gets stuck there.
    I have restored it and loaded the backed up material again. But this problem doesnt seem to go away. Sometimes it is too much sometimes it is not noticeable, so what exactly could be wrong and what ALL should I do to get it fixed?  Please reply.

    Thank you. You are very kind. First I backed everything up, then restored as a new phone, and then i couldn't see the contacts, the contacts were not restored when i restored as a new phone. So in order to get the contacts I restored from the backup but then the same problem happened again.
    What I meant to saw was that the probelm disappeared when i restored as a new phone, but it reappeared when i restored from the backup. So is there a way to just somehow get the old contacts when the phone is restored as a new phone. All I need from the current phone is the contacts to be there when I retore as a new phone.
    I hope I am clear.
    Kindly help

    I did that many times, I mean I do it everytime. But it doesnt seem to help. It is strange sometimes the phone is slow and stucks for a many seconds, sometimes it is just one or two seconds. Thank you for your help though, but is there something else that you could think of?

  • I turned my iPhone 4s on this morning and  it has been 'searching' for network ever since. I have this problem a lot and it sometimes takes 24 hours  to get my network (O2) - anything I can do?

    I turned my iPhone 4s on this morning and  it has been 'searching' for network ever since. I have this problem a lot and it sometimes takes 24 hours  to get my network (O2) - anything I can do?

    I had this problem when I first had the phone in January which resulted in a new handset. It only seems to happen after my phone gets turned off and/or battery dies and I turn it back on......nightmare!!  O2 weren't a great deal of help last time - took nearly 3 weeks before they agreed to send a new handset.  Thanks for your advice

  • IPhone 5 gets stuck in screen-off mode

    iPhone 5 (iOS: 6.1.4)
    Recently (within past 2 months) I've noticed that my iPhone will get stuck in the screen-off mode.
    I'll be using the phone normally.  I'll push the screen-off button (top right button).  Then later, (whether it's 1 minute or an hour) when I go to turn the screen back on by either pushing the 'Home butoon' or Top right button, nothing happens. 
    I'll push and push and push both buttons.  All I get is a Big Fat Nothing.
    Sometimes if I leave it for a minutes, then push the button, it comes on.  Other times it doesn't.
    It is becoming more frequent.  The most recent time was tonight.  After trying to push buttons.  Then trying to just wait it out, I pushed and held Both buttons together.  It then began going through the boot up sequence. 
    I don't know if by holding down both buttons, it restarted on it's own, or if it was something else.  But I know that the phone was not off. 
    Does anyone know what the problem is?  I know it's not the proximity sensor.  It's definitely something else.
    Thanks for anything.

    I figured out the problem and how to fix it.
    The problem was mechanical.
    How to fix it?
    While under warrenty, take it in for a Genius Bar appointment and have them give you a brand new one.
    Sorry but that's the only fix that worked.

  • HT201205 iPhone 5 is stuck in searching mode. Will not recognize bluetooth device.

    How do I get my iPhone 5 to recognize my Jabar bluetooth? It just gets stuck in searching mode.

    Turn the phone off and take the SIM out and put it back in. The other possibility is that your SIM is defective.

  • My iphone says searching for network, and I don't have any sim card on it. What can I do?

    I just bought a new iphone, It doesn't has any sim card putted on it, but on the left upper corner it says searching for network, and I cannot activate this.. What can I do?

  • When making a call, sometimes, my iPhone 5 , gets stuck on 'Calling' than I have to press END..but still nothing happens, than when I press HOME button, the call app keeps running in the background and it keeps saying CALLING... please help

    please help

    Has nothing to do with the SIM or master reset.  This has been done to my phone.  The SIM once and the factory reset many times over.  You all just sold us a bad piece of equipment and have us by the tail with our contracts so none of us can get a new phone without paying full price or re-upping our contract.  I just got off the phone last night with your high up tech people (you know, the hidden number we get once we tear into your support people enough), they went into my phone again and still didn't find anything wrong.  I about got fired from my job for not getting my calls and texts.  The BBB has now been contacted, and I feel your end should shore this up for all of us!
