My iphone 5 won't connet to server all of a sudden

My iphone 5 won't connect to a server all of a sudden and I've reset my settings and turned phone off  and back on and re-entered my password. What should I do now?

If it makes a sound, that means your computer has seen it, at least, and it's able to connect.
I'd try the following, in the following order.
1) With the iPhone disconnected, hold the Sleep/Wake button AND the home button UNTIL the Apple logo appears. After you hold these buttons down, the slide to power off will appear, but ignore that. Then the screen will blank. When you see the Apple logo appear, let go. Once the iPhone restarts fully, plug it into the computer, and see if iTunes will see it.
2) Repeat #1, but before you plug the phone in, restart your computer. After your computer AND iPhone have fully restarted, open iTunes, then plug your iPhone in.
3) Download and install iTunes over your existing installation. Restart your computer, then plug your iPhone in.
4) Uninstall iTunes fully, and ANY Apple related programs (Apple Mobile Device, etc.). Restart your computer, then install iTunes. Restart your computer again, and then open iTunes and connect your iPhone.
If none of these work, you may have to put your iPhone into either Recovery Mode or DFU mode.

    you most likely have imessage on both iphones and sending/receiving to same number on one of the iphones. go to settings messages > send and receive > check the numbers/emails on both iphones. once you uncheck the numbers/emails you dont want you will not be getting the messages any more. a little bit more info is helpful read this http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5538.

  • Quicktime Player won't play avi files all of a sudden

    All of a sudden Quicktime Player won't play my avi files. They worked previously. I could play them with Quicktime 7 with or without Perian. I'm running 10.6.4.
    They'll run fine on my MacBook and I don't have Perian installed on it.
    Any ideas?

    I just uninstalled Flip4Mac and everything is working as it's supposed to. Very strange. Perhaps a conflict with Perian? But then again, QT didn't play the avi files with Perian installed. So, I guess the conflict is with Flip4Mac and something else.
    Thanks anyway

  • IPhone won't synch with server after iOS7.2.1 upgrade

    I upgraded to the latest iOS7.2.1 and can no longer synch my Outlook contacts or calendar to my iPhone.  Repeated message "iTunes could not synch contacts to the iPhone because the sync server failed to sync the iPhone"  Previous suggestions that abounded after 7.1 was released do not work.

    Hi rtiffany,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!  The article below will help you troubleshoot the issue you are having syncing your contacts with Outlook:
    iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Contacts
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3998
    Troubleshooting iCloud Contacts update or setup issues with Microsoft Windows (Microsoft Outlook)
    If you are having trouble with a PC (with Outlook 2007 or later) and iCloud Contacts, try each of these steps, testing after each to see if the issue is resolved.
    Note: iCloud Control Panel does not support Outlook 2010 Personal Edition.
    Verify that you are using a Windows configuration that is supported by iCloud.
    Make sure your computer is online. Attempt to view www.apple.com. If you can't connect to the Internet, your iCloud Contacts and events will not update in Outlook. Learn about troubleshooting your Internet connection.
    Open a secure website to test if ports 80 and 443 are accessible. Outlook requires port 443 access to iCloud in order to push and fetch updates to and from the iCloud Contacts servers.
    Open the iCloud Control Panel and make sure that you are signed in to the same iCloud account that you are using on your other supported devices.
    If you recently made changes in Outlook, and they are not moving to your other devices or vice versa, click the Refresh button in Outlook.
    Turn iCloud Contacts off and back on:
    Close Outlook.
    Open the iCloud Control Panel:
    In Windows 8.1, go to the Start screen, click the down arrow in the lower-left corner, then click the iCloud app.
    In Windows 8, go to the Start screen and click the iCloud tile.
    In Windows 7 and Vista, choose Start menu > All Programs > iCloud > iCloud.
    Deselect the Mail, Contacts, Calendars & Tasks checkbox, and click Apply. Wait a few seconds, then replace the checkmark, and click Apply.
    Open Outlook, and test to see if the issue has been resolved.
    Ensure the iCloud Outlook Add-in is active within Outlook.
    For Outlook 2013 and 2010, follow these steps to verify the iCloud Outlook Add-in is active:
    Open Outlook 2013 or 2010.
    Click the File menu.
    Click Options in the left panel of the Outlook window.
    Click Add-Ins in the left panel of the Outlook Options window.
    Look at the list of add-ins beneath "Active Application Add-Ins," and verify that the "iCloud Outlook Add-in" is listed
    For Outlook 2007, follow these steps to verify the iCloud Outlook Add-in is active
    Open Outlook 2007
    From the Tools menu, choose Trust Center.
    Select Add-ins from the left column.
    Look at the list of add-ins beneath "Active Application Add-Ins," and verify that the "iCloud Outlook Add-in" is listed.
    Make sure that iCloud is not your default account in Outlook.
    In Outlook 2013 and 2010, select File > Info > Account Settings > Data Files. If iCloud is listed as the Default account in the Comments column, select a different account and click Set as Default.
    In Outlook 2007, select File > Data File Management > Data Files. If iCloud is listed as the Default account in the Comments column, select a different account and click Set as Default.
    Restart your computer. This may sound simple, but it does reinitialize your network and application settings and can frequently resolve issues.
    Learn more about managing Add-ins with Microsoft Outlook.
    Note: When enabling Mail, Contacts, Calendars & Tasks in the iCloud Control Panel, part of the setup is to copy your Contacts data from the default Outlook .pst file to iCloud, and then remove the Contacts from the .pst file by placing them in the Deleted Items folder in Outlook. The Contacts data is then stored in the iCloud data set within Outlook so that changes can be pushed to and from Outlook by iCloud. Be sure you are looking for your data within the iCloud folder within Outlook after enabling Contacts in the iCloud Control Panel. The deleted file can be seen by viewing the Deleted Items within your Outlook Folder List. This is not iCloud removing your data; iCloud simply copies your data into the iCloud data set and then removes the local Contacts data by placing it in the Deleted Items folder.
    I hope this information helps ....

  • HELP! Iphone won't send messages AT ALL!

    I have a iPhone 4 and I it was a hand me down from a relative. She had it for a couple years and now I have had it for about a year. I had the battery replaced once because it was completely dead and drained and caused my iPhone to not work.
    I have recently ran into a another problem which just started yesterday. My messages whether its text or imessage will not send. It's actually quite a bit of problems. It will not show that it sent for me it just says "sending..." but a few of them will reach its destination and I'll get a reponse from a friend or family member. But it will still be "Sending..." also if I close the app all my messages will completely disappear
    I also if I make a call or someone calls me they can't hear me.
    I have done everything possible. I have reset it, reset network settings, have done a complete restore and it still is having the same problem. I have no idea what to do especially since I don't have internet connection at home.
    Has this happened to anyone else?

    I'm referring to imessage and SMS text. I've never had a problem before with sending without internet connection. I have Verizon and this problem has never happened.
    And I'm not sure if this is coming off right but imessage or sms will just say "sending..." it won't say that it sent or even delievered. I can recieve messages from other people but they are delayed and don't come in on time. I tested my phone with a friend who was next to me and sent her a message and she recieved my message but on my phone it still said "sending..."
    Any type of message I send says sending... also if I close my message app ALL my messages disappear they just delete and the message app is blank. My phone was working just fine on Jan. 21st but yesterday when I tried to text my boss it wouldn't send but he continued texting me.
    At the moment I'm at a friend's connected to wifi and did a restore and the problem is still happening. I can access apps and internet connection is fine over wifi or using my 3G.
    Also when I try to answer or make a call I can hear them but they can't hear me.
    Whatever the problem is it's only effecting my send/recieve of messages and calls. Whether its over wifi or just 3G

  • I keep getting an error message when I plug my iPhone into my computer.  It says, "This iPhone cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device has not been started." This has never happened before when I plugged it in - now the iPhone won't show up at all.

    Someone please help!  I do not know how to fix this.  It keeps saying my Mobile Device has not been started and I can't get my phone to show up in the iTunes window AT ALL. It will charge while plugged in, but it just won't come up in iTunes.

    Sorry, the error message should read, "...the Apple Mobile Device service has not been started."

  • I got a new laptop and my iphone won't sync without losing all my saved data

    I got a new laptop as my old one died. My iTunes account says that I can only sync with one authorised device, which is my dead laptop. I was able to back up all my music on to the new one but when I go to sync it says that I will lose my saved data. Does that mean my photos, contacts, text messages etc?
    How can I sync to my new laptop without losing everything?

    Your music/movies, etc will only be where you put them.
    Copy everything fom your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer to your new one

  • My iphone won't turn on at all and when i connect it to a charger the apple sign just flashes on and off but does not turn on?

    I've tried charging it overnight and it still will not turn on, when connected to the charger the apple sign just goes on and off but does not do anything, i've tried resetting it and this also does not work, but then once taken off the charger it doesn't even say the sign for charging it just does nothing

    Turn your phone off and connect your cable to the computer, but not the device just yet. Start up iTunes. Now, hold down the home button on your phone and plug it in to the cable - don't let go of the button until iTunes tells you it's detected a phone in recovery mode. Now you can restore to factory settings.

  • TS1398 Ipad won't accept WIFI signal all of a sudden - worked fine till tonight

    My ipad has worked for over a year on my home wifi network and tonight it will not connect no matter what I do. Wifi is working as my computers are all working fine and the modem is working but for some reason my ipad has decided it won't accept the signal.  I have tried all of the troubleshooting suggestions; ie, forget network, shut off and restart, etc.  Still just circles and circles trying to connect.The IP address and subnet mask numbers show up but nothing else.  And when I try to go online it says Network Required.  Please help!  This is driving me crazy!

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

  • IPhone in "setup new phone" mode all of a sudden

    Yesterday I plugged my iPhone to the charger.
    Today when I took my iPhone 4, I noticed there was a gray linen background on the lock screen, there was a little round icon with an "i" above the unlock bar. I was expecting the picture of my family.
    I unlocked it and was presented with a "choose a language" dialog. Hmm. So I scrolled down to Swedish, then back to English because that's the language I use on all my devices, and selected that.
    I THINK I saw some cyrillic characters at the top left where the operator typically is displayed, then it changed into "No Service". That made me very wary.
    Then I had to go trough the whole phone setup. Activate the phone. The phone knew none of my WiFi passwords. Luckily the last iCloud backup was from when I plugged in the phone last night, but it's still a hassle to set up everything.
    I had to put in a new lock code and it kept interrupting me setting that up with other notifications. Our office exchange accoung required a lock code. Apple should have a look at this, notifications interrupting each other during setup...
    But what happened? That what really buggers me! What possibly could have factory resetted the phone in the middle of the night? A bug? Have I been compromised somehow? Was it remote wiped without my knowledge? It wasn't turned off, i just pressed the home button and my iPhone had become a out-of-the-box thing with all my stuff gone! I tried to search the forums, I checked the usual Mac sites and tried to google around but I could not find anyone whith the same problem. Have I been compromised? Did my phone somehow receive a remote wipe?
    The Diagnostic & Usage setting is completely empty. I had hoped that there maybe might have been logs.
    Now I have to check settings because I use several itunes accounts (since I want to share photostream with my family but not imessages) and the setup process did of course not account for that. I suppose all my WiFi network passwords are gone. Or then all this stuff got restored by the iCloud backup. I can only hope. It seems my phone will be downloading apps and podcasts a few hours.
    Listening status of my Podcasts is toast for sure, since that bit isn't cloud enabled yet and I haven't synced with iTunes for a few days.
    This was a very unpleasent surprise
    Root cause found. I'll still post this in case someone else finds himself in this perculiar situation then his google search is maybe more successful. Turns out my youngest boy apparently could not leave my phone alone. Our phones are set up to erase all data on the phone after 6 failed passcode attempts.
    Since I was too cheap to purchase additional storage on iCloud I had to excluded backup of the camera roll (the pictures are on Photostream anyway) which means all videos made the past few months including of one birthday are all gone

    It's rare, but it does happen. You could try a restore & see if that fixes the problem.
    Disable auto sync when an ipod/iphone is connected under preferences in itunes.
    Connect your phone, right click it in the device pane and choose backup.
    When completed, right click the phone again and choose restore from the backup you just made. Disconnect your phone and see if the problem goes away. If not, it might be a hardware problem since you've stated you did a reset.
    Reset: Press the sleep/wake button and home button at same time, keep pressing until the apple logo appears and then release.

  • Won't sync nikon d300 all of the sudden.

    previously I had no problems syncing my nikon d300. suddenly i got messages that I had not disconnected properly (probably true), now the computer won't recognize the camera. please help.

    Jim:
    First try launching Image Capture and see if you can import the photos to a folder on the Desktop. If you can then reformat the memory card with the camera, take some test shots and try again.
    FWIW, my recommendation is to use a card reader for uploading photos from the camera. It avoids several potential problems that could damage the library, e.g. an early shutdown by the camera due to low battery. It's just a much safer way of handling your photos.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.≤br>
    Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • ITunes won't recognize my iPod all of the sudden

    I've got a 40GB iPod that I purchased about 2 years ago. It's about 1/2 full. For some reason iTunes stopped recognizing my iPod when I plug it into the dock. In the past "Jeff's iPod" would show up in the left hand column, I would copy music from CD to the iPod, then update. I can add music to iTunes, charge my iPod in the dock, but iTunes doesn't find my iPod so I can't update it. I've tried to reset the iPod and this doesn't work. I'd rather not start over by restoring the iPod, and I'm not even sure doing that would recognize my iPod. Should I reinstall iTunes? Would this erase all the songs on my iPod when I go to update it? I'm confused, this happened totally out of the blue for no apparent reason.

    See these.
    Your Windows PC doesn't recognize iPod.
    iPod appears in Windows Explorer but does not appear in iTunes.
    iPod does not appear in iTunes.
