My iPhone 5s is keep searching for AT&T bars al day long and I cant dial anybody.Thanks
my iPhone 5s was searching for AT&T bars all day long and I cant dial anybody.Thanks
That would have been helpful information to provide in the beginning.
Try the following:
Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Remove and reinstall the SIM.
Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
If the issue continues, take the device to Apple for evaluation.

My iphone 3g is keep searching for network, and the carrier unable to load network list , wat shall i do?
Yes, that kind of tallies with my experience ... after 3 days of useless iPhone 3G (BTW, killing 3G on the phone and relying on acquiring AT&T 2G didn't help, it still locked onto T-Mobile with the result that it was draining battery and rebooting frequently!), I ended up visiting the local Apple Store.
Although the visit was not to resolve the iPhone problem, whilst there I happened to cycle the phone and due to the store having a local AT&T cell, the strength of the local signal meant that I finally re-acquired a AT&T 3G signal ... once locked on again the phone was fine for the next day.
Nett outcome of this is that I would prefer to lay most of the blame for this debacle on the poor state of 3G support both by AT&T (and US carriers in general), maybe exacerbated in my case by two related events (the local DNC in Denver, which saturated local AT&T cells including 3G and a proliferation of v2.0.0 and v2.0.1 firmwares on iPhones in town, which dragged cell coverage into the weeds).
It would be nice for future sanity if AT&T and T-Mobile could at least resolve the ability to acquire/release the iPhone gracefully, otherwise I'll be very sceptical of travelling back to the US with only my iPhone, as a self-employeed consultant I can't afford to be out of touch for three days again! -

My daughters ipad mini is locked out. Dont ask, sister changed password, cnat remember now we are locked out. I have tried the hwole connect to itunes but nothing, it keeps telling u s we need to unlock the ipad. No Dah!!! Thats what I need help with. please?
If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
Alternatively, place the device in recovery mode and restore it to erase the device:
Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to shut down.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device. -
IPhone 5 keeps searching for carrier.
I have an unlocked iPhone 5. I recently updated my iPhone to iOS 7 and now it keeps searching for carrier. What should I do?
Well, it seems the phone is working again now. I've tried to restore it several times (which didn't work) but after restoring it from backup (iCloud) the phone seems to work again.
It's not a real solution becouse I've tried to restore it several times without result. Very very very strange problem... -

IOS 7.0.3: iPhone 5 keeps searching for a network without sim
Hi there
I update my iPhone 5 from 7.0.2 to 7.0.3 yesterday.
Since then my iPhone does not care about the sim card.
I can remove the sim card and the iPhone keeps searching for a network.
Whe I insert another sim, the iPhone does not ask for a pin.
I did a iPhone Restore. Saddly the bug is still there.
My problem no is, I cannot activate my iPhone after the restore, because of the sim card problem.
Is there a simple solution, or shoud I go to an Apple Store?
Thanks!My solution was the Recovery Mode:

I am trying to pair my phone to my 2011 Toyota kluger KX-R. I have turned bluetooth on my phone but it keeps searching for devices and can not find any, including my computer.
No worries. Often after iTunes updates you have to reconnect your device in order for iTunes to see it. Happens to me all the time!

My ipod keeps searching for network, even when the network info is all set properly. It has suddenly started doing this. Also, buffering forever... I have tried to reset the network few times, but not working.
Hello Nazer_502,
I would be concerned too if my iPhone was acting this way. It sounds like it is overheating and not holding a charge. I recommend following the steps listed below when experiencing an issue like this:
Battery life seems short
Click ( www.apple.com/batteries/iphone.html) for tips on how to prolong iPhone's battery life.
Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
Connect iPhone to iTunes and restore iPhone.
If the screen shows a low-battery image, the battery is low on power and needs to charge for up to ten minutes before you can use it.
When charging iPhone, make sure to leave it charging until it is fully charged. You'll know the battery is fully charged when the battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen looks like this .
Note: When charging using a computer, don't connect iPhone to a keyboard. Also, the computer must be turned on and not in sleep or standby mode. If iPhone is connected to a computer that's not turned on or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPhone battery may drain.

Why does my I phone 3 keep searching for signal
Why does my I phone3 keep searching for a signal
Hi jodierigby,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. This article has steps you can take if your iPhone is unexpectedly powering off:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
Cheers,

I bought my iphone-3g in new zealand and brough it back to Hong Kong. It's working fine until yesterday - the "connect to iTunes" screen appears. I did that and restored it, then "waiting for activation" message pop out. It keep searching for the carrier and keep restarting itself while connected to iTunes. What happens?!
Hey CaiYC,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are having issues with your iPhone relating to cellular service. The following resource outlines troubleshooting steps for this issue. If you are unable to loacate the carrier settings, or your issue persists, please contact your carrier as recommended towards the end of the article.
iPhone: Troubleshooting No Service
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4429
If you're outside the United States, please also follow these steps:
1. Go to Settings > Carrier > Automatic.
If the phone registers any carrier network, Settings > Carrier will be present.
2. If the Carrier option is missing in Settings and you're outside of the Unites States, please contact Apple for support and service options.
Set the option for Automatic to off.
3. A list of potentially available carriers appears after about two minutes. If the device is locked to a carrier, it may connect only to the carrier network to which it is locked. If the device displays carrier networks, then the device is working as expected.
4. Set Settings > Carrier > Automatic back to on.
If you're still experiencing No Service issues, contact your carrier to check for any network or account issues that could cause these symptoms.
Thanks,

Bluetoothe keeps searching for new devices
Hi everyone,
I have a BT connected problem with my Iphone 4S. In contrast to many here, I can connect with my headset (Jawbone) fine and my phone sees pretty much anything. However, once I activate BT, it will keep searching for new devices all the time and this eats the batter up pretty fast (by mid-day it is 50% gone, without my doing much, except for a few calls using my headset). Does anybody know how can BT stopped from looking for new devices unless directed to do so?
Many thanks and best regards,
