My iphone cannot get signal even there is a signal onsite

Any suggestion what to do regarding the unit that cannot detect any signal from the carrier., even there is a strong signal in the area....

Hey gonzalofad,
I understand you are having cellular network-related issues with your iPhone 3GS. The following article is going to provide the best troubleshooting steps:
iPhone: Troubleshooting No Service
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4429
Symptoms
iPhone may display one of the following symptoms in the status bar:
- Displays No Service or Searching in an area of good coverage
- Does not regain service when returning to an area of coverage
Resolution
If you encounter any of the above symptoms on your iPhone, try these steps to attempt to resolve the issue. Test after each step.
1. Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
2. Remove the SIM card and verify that it is a valid, carrier-manufactured SIM. Also verify that it is not damaged, worn, or modified. Then reinsert it.
3. Check for a carrier settings update. Tap Settings > General > About while connected to a Wi-Fi network. If an update is available, a prompt should appear soon. If Wi-Fi is not available, connect your device to iTunes.
4. Update your iPhone to the latest version of iOS.
5. Restore the iPhone.
If you're still experiencing No Service issues, contact your carrier to check for any network or account issues that could cause this issue.
Thanks,
Matt M.

    Not sure what this has to do with Apple TV.
    Also this is a user forum, no one here can help with that. I would contact your carrier.

  • Lost my contacts and calendar since update and statesThe iPhone cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the items in the iTunes library (additional 1 MB required).e

    I lost my contacts and calendar, and photos since the iOS update and and it states that my iPhone cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the items in the iTunes library (additional 1 MB required).   Also it shows that I am over capacity on my Capacity ruler but how do I unload some of that stuff so that I can increase my capacity and perhaps get this synching to work again. 
    So frustrating!!

    On your iPhone go to settings>general>about and next to "Available" if you dont have much space then you will need to delete stuff on the phone to make room to take photos by deleting stuff on the phone.
    In terms of syncing change what you are syncing and decide what you would really want and not want on your phone which would make what is syncing to the phone smaller.

  • Trying to update apps on iphone and getting error message, there is not enough available local storage to download these items. you can manage your local device storage usage in settings

    trying to update apps on iphone and getting error message, there is not enough available local storage to download these items. you can manage your local device storage usage in settings. What am I to do?

    The storage you purchased is in the cloud, and doesn't do anything with your pad.  Your problem is simply that you have too much content on your pad.   Go to settings, general, usage, and it will show you how much space you have avaliable on your pad.  If you let the screen sit for a while, all the apps will be displayed, and you can see how much stuff you have associated with each.
    You have to no option but to delete some of the content on your pad.  Videos, comics, pitcures and some music files use a lot of space.   The cloud allows you to leave stuff there, so you can get it when you need it.

  • IPhone" cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the items in the iTunes library

    iPhone” cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the items in the iTunes library

    What do you do about it? Be more selective about what you're syncing to it. Don't try to sync your entire library, just what you actually want to take with you. If you want to take more with you than what you have room for, buy a phone with more storage capacity.
    Alternately, you can have music automatically transcoded to a lower bitrate. Not in front of iTunes, so don't recall the exact wording. It takes much longer to sync the first time, but should consume much less space and you shouldn't take the time hit after the first full sync.

  • "iPhone cannot be synced because there is not enough free space

    I recently purchased a new computer and I used home sharing to get all of my media onto my new computer.
    Every time I try to sync I get the message "The iPhone "(Insert iPhone name here)" cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the items in the iTunes library (additional [amount of space needed] required)"
    I have a 32GB iPhone and I have it set to sync my entire music library (9.3GB), selected movies (not all my movies)(9.6GB), and I also have it set to sync my apps (2.5GB).  there is 3GB of photos and 1.32GB of other, I know there is enough room on my iPhone to house all of the content I have selected to be synced but for some reason I keep getting the same message which tells me I need an addition 15.30GB.
    Also I have tried to re-sync my iPhone with the old computer I used to sync it to and now I'm getting the same message I get on my new computer on the old one.  My old computer was windows as well.
    I have the latest iTunes and iOS for my iPhone.  I don't know what is wrong or how to fix it.  I have tried to refer to the web and have had no results so far.  Help would be greatly appreciated.

    In case anyone is interested, I found a solution.
    My interpretation of the problem is that somehow the iPhone lost track of free space and this process will clear that while not losing any data or settings on the iPhone.
    This will also solve the problem where iTunes has lost the app/folder layout on the iPhone.
    Please note I am not a technician and make no claim that this will work for anyone else, but it did for me. The steps below are as I remember them and may not be exactly the same for everyone.
    1) Backup the iPhone - I used iTunes to backup although this may also work with iCloud but I've not tried
    2) Reset the iPhone - from settings on the iPhone (settings/general/reset (etc))
    3) Carefully follow all the steps and choose to restore when you get to that step
    4) Keep you eye on iTunes as you will have to respond there when it askes which backup set to use for the restore - it is likely that the most recent will be the one you want.
    Good luck.

  • My iPhone is getting hot even when iddle... etc

    16GB Iphone 3g, purchases last May 17, 2009.
    In addition, the battery easily discharges (in standby mode), say 2 hours.
    That is more than a month of use only. Initially, there is an approximately 1mm gap at the bottom of the screen and thought it will soon disappear but not.
    Sigh, i have to return it to the Exclusive Distributor here in Manila. I was given a repair form and was told to wait for at least a month before they repair or replace the unit.
    Now, i'm having a secong thought of using an iphone anymore. Imagine, for only a month of use and considering the big amount i invested to buy it then suddenly my iphone was subjected to repair? a PHOBIA is developing I Think

  • TS3899 My iphone 5 gets email, but there is no content when I try to look at a specific email

    What can I do when my Apple Iphone 5 gets mail, but when I try to look at it, there is no content?

    Close out of the mail app, double tap the home button and completely close out of the app.
    Then do a reset, no data loss.  Hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release then wait for the phone to boot back up.
    then check your email again.

  • Cannot get signal on campus....after living here problem free, for 3 years.

    I've lived on campus for 3 years. I woke up last night to find my cell phone in a constant state of either "searching for svc" or having no bars. That's kind of weird. I went to Verizon stores a couple different times and long story short, the associate got a new LG ENV3 out of the box for me and let me take that one home and try it. No dice. I cannot get a signal on campus, where I have lived for 3 years and never had a problem with anything like this before. And no, I had a friend over and her Verizon wireless phone was working fine. This is kind of inconvenient for me, considering I can't call or text or receive either of those things when I'm on campus about 90% of my time. I've taken out the battery, turned it off, taken out the battery while it's on, dialed *228, nothing. Nothing. Nothing. Guess I'll just drive a block or two away from campus and hang out in my car where I can check my texts..

    Nope..I definitly should be all recent. I am in Kearney Nebraska and have been for 3 years...and like I said I've never had this kind of problem EVER before

    Obviously you need to delete items from your phone.  This is a no-brainer

  • TS3798 I can't get wifi on my iphone even though my desktop computer can get the internet.  I thought it was a problem with the modem so I got a new one ...but still the same problem (my computer gets internet but my iPhone cannot get wifi from it).  PLEA

    I was always able to get WiFi on my iPhone through my home computer.  Then all of a sudden it went out (uses 3G network instead of WiFi).  Sometimes it would connect back to WiFi for a few seconds then back to 3G.  I then decided it was the modem so I got a new modem.   Well, I have no problem getting internet on my home computer but cannot still get WiFi on my iPhone from my computer.  What do I need to do - HELP!!

    Thank you again.
    Yes, it worked. First, I just replaced the all info. as before,  the router IP also (Stupid) , not success.
    So, I created the new network, then, the Router IP automatically showed up .
    I think the old setting still there under my Airport station (so, 2 setting right now)?
    Anyway, my iPad and iPod touch works well with the new wi-fi network.
    Thank you very much.
    I got this Airport Extreme from a friend who wen to Time Capsule, still have the box and serial No. but will not work for Apple Phone support.
    I appreciate for your fast help.

    Yes, so is my suggestion.
    Just untick what you don't want on the iPhone sync then sync.
