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?
ive got the same prob on my 4s i usually have to hard reboot a couple tims with no sim
steps i go through
1. turn on airplane mode
take out sim
2. hard reboot
3.turn back on then turn off airplane a couple a times if didnt work 1st time
another way that worked for me is turn on airplane mode then reset network settings and reboot with out sim in
but the longest this worked for me was maybe 3 or 4 days it a temp fix.. it just went to searching again about 5 mins ago and i used my first way to fix it, get it to say no sim and then i put sim back in. note it has to say no sim when its on the way to be working

Hello Ismailbusherin,
From what I can gather, you are receiving a message stating your payment is being declined. You may want to revisit the payment information associated with your Apple ID to make sure the data is correct:

I am trying to register for i tunes but i cant without a credit card and i want to get a free about what do i do??
I have tried to assist many people using the steps in that article but at the end of the outlined steps the 'NONE'
button is not an option.
My best advice is to hold off on creating the iTunes store account until you have an iTunes gift card to redeem.
If you can talk a family member or friend into assisting you with accout set up [and to use their credit card]...
The card can be removed as soon as it is verified by iTunes Store.
Just sign back into your iTunes store account
click on 'Edit Payment Info'
then selecting 'NONE' as the payment type
Be sure to click 'DONE' before closing the window or the CC info will stay on file.
Good Luck

I'm trying to configure an HP Laserjet 1320nw printer on my WEP secured wireless network at home. I don't have the original CD, what can I do to make the settings on the printer. ciao
Have you checked with the HP download page? http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/DriverDownload.jsp?prodNameId=4 10630&lang=en&cc=us&taskId=135&prodTypeId=18972&prodSeriesId=410622

I really need a good answer anything I can do btw its a second hand purchase and is there any home remedies, ANYTHING!!!!!!!!!
By the way, seal the rice bag with the ipod in it if you do it that way. But, I would let it dry for several days. If it was completery submerged I would blow more air on it. Only thing I would be afraid of is if water hasn't already gotten to the internal components, that the air might force it farther up. If it's not working, I would definitely blow the air on it.

Im tryin to get my email verified for iMessage and FaceTime, but i don't received any emails. All info are correct (correct apple id and password). Though, i don't have any sim on my phone.
You can take a look at this support document for troubleshooting iMessage and FaceTime activation. If you have difficulty activating FaceTime or iMessage - Apple Support
I believe with the iPhone, you need to have a SIM installed, since the activation sends an international SMS to servers in the UK. Check to see what that support document states. -
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! -
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 says searching for service after ios 7.1.1 update! HELP!
I updated my iPhone 5c to the iOS 7.1.1 last night and didn't think I would have any problems. I went to bed and woke up this morning with my phone in the top left corner saying "Searching..." and the the wifi symbol.
I went to check my setting to see if my data was off, but when I went into the settings app and clicked the tab labed "Celluar" the app crashed and took me back to the home screen. It does this everytime I try and go into that tab! So, I have no idea what it going on with my phone! I can't make calls, send texts through my phone number (I can still send iMessages when connected to wifi), the screen glitches and moves when I go into apps, the battery life is now terrible and drains really fast. Everything about my phone was perfectly fine until I updated it to the iOS 7.1.1, so I believe something must have went wrong when it was updating.
Overall these are my main problems:
-iPhone is "Searching" for phone service (which means I have no service so no calls or texts can be sent or recieved)
-Cellular tab in settings crashes
-Battery drains over 2x faster than normal
-Screen seems to glitch or move when I open appsHi SamSam1103,
If you are having multiple issues with your iPhone after a recent update, your best course of action may be to back up your content to iTunes, restore the phone to factory settings, then test to see if the issues persist in its default config before bringing back your content from the backup. You may find the following articles helpful:

I downloaded updates for "Office for Mac" a few days ago and it won't finish. It keeps saying I have to close Safari, Microsoft Word and Microsoft Powerpoint and I don't have any of these open. Can anybody help me?
Hi Anne,
Did you do this through one of the Office app updates, or did you download it directly from the Microsoft website?
Whichever way you tried it, I would try it the opposite way this time, although simply repeating what you did before may also work. -
i got this iphone 4 off of someone for $60 and its linked to a apple account and i don't have any contact to him now do i go to apple to activate it?
Hello tom,
I understand you are having issues activating an iPhone 3G. The following article addresses the exact error message you included:
iPhone: Troubleshooting activation issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3424
Resolution
- Restart the iPhone.
- Try another means of reaching the activation server and attempt to activate.
- Try connecting to Wi-Fi if you're unable to activate using a cellular data connection.
- Try connecting to iTunes if you're unable to activate using Wi-Fi.
- Restore the iPhone.
If you receive an alert message when you attempt to activate your iPhone, try to place the iPhone in recovery mode and perform a restore.
Thanks,
Matt M. -

A Verizon corporate store can provide you with a nano SIM and activate it for you. Corporate stores do not charge for SIMS. I don't know what a reseller might or might not do.
