My phone doesn't detect a network what is wrong?

My iphone just stopped working. I got a message saying that it didn't detect a network. I have already restored it. What can I do?

There are some battery-saving tips in the link below, but you simply may need a new battery.

I can't update my iPad to iOS 5 because when I plug the iPad up to my laptop or any other computer it doesn't detect the iPad, what's wrong?

Every time I put the USB cord into my iPad and put in my laptop or any other computer it does nothing but says not charging on the iPad, I want to know why my laptop can't detect my iPad, and I updated iTunes don my laptop and I'm trying to update my iPad but can't, I can't even get certain apps because of this so please help

Apple has stopped signing iOS 5. You will need to update to iOS 6.

HT2499 I I'm trying to play a movie on my Mac but it doesn't play it. What is wrong?

I I'm trying to play a movie on my iMac but it doesn't play it. What is wrong?

Go to Apple menu -> About This Mac. Tell us your Mac OS X version. It is not running an iOS version.
By playing a movie, are you talking a commercial DVD movie with Apple's DVD player software?
If it is, was it purchased in the same country as the Mac?

My video playback out...every video shakes/flashes/doesn't play right. What's wrong? I thought the hard drive was too full, but I just deleted 125gigs, rebooted and it still flashes and doesn't play videos. This is true for youtube, ads, foxnews videos...

Update: The iBook can play any 480p video and higher if I encode them with DivX and in AVI format. But of course this is not compatible with my iPhone 4. At least I can shrink my library now and get away from the full MPEG-2s. I don't get why I can't use Apple's h264 though. There has to be a setting I am missing. The sample Apple h264 videos from the days of Tiger worked flawlessly on my iBook when it was new so the CPU must be capable of decoding it. I really can't understand this.
Also, since I made my videos in English for my family, I had to create soft subtitles for my wife's Chinese family, and I can't get players like QT with perian or MPlayerX to sync them properly to an AVI encoded with DivX, they only sync well with the iPhone 4 m4v/mp4 formatted files I made. This is a real pickle.
So now I may need three or four copies of each video, LOL. I need to hardcode the subtitles if I want to use AVI to playback on older machines, and keep the mp4 file for the iDevices too, while keeping higher quality h264 videos for my American relatives...
If h264 is compatible with my iBook, what is the proper encoding settings? Must I dramatically lower the settings or frame rate? I can settle on 2 copies of each video that way. One iBook/G4/eMac compatible video that syncs correctly with my srt soft subs, and another version that works well with my iPhone 4 and iPad.
All in all, I will end up with more than 3 or 4 version of each video. On my late G5 dual core I have the full 720-1080p uncompressed master files. On my i5 iMac I have the h264 compressed versions for distribution, and lower versions for my iDevices. Now I need to keep either full MPEG-2 files for the iBook to play, or convert to older formats like DivX AVI for our family's legacy machines. I am running out of hard disk space quick now, LOL.
Is there an easier way?

My iPad will not charge and every time I charge it. It comes up with the iTunes icon and I will not charge, it is not a new I pad and the same charger I use for the I pad I use for my I phone and it will charge. What is wrong?

What exactlyare you seeing on the iPad's screen ? If it's the iTunes icon and a cable then that means that it's gone into recovery mode - you will need to connect it to your computer's iTunes and you should be able to use that to reset it back to factory defaults and you can then restore/resync your content to it.

Airport Utility 6.0 doesn't detect my network after any change

10.7.3, Airport Utility 6.0, MacBook Pro and MacBook Air, Airport Extreme and Airport Express base stations
How does one get Airport Utility 6.0 to see their network again after making any changes to one of the base stations?
When you make any change to any of your base stations airport utility no longer detects your network. All it shows is the internet and it says not connected. All base stations are all up and in the green except for one. From the airport drop down I verify I am on my own network and I can browse normally, yet Airport Utility 6.0, on any connected computer, does not see the network. An older version of Airport Utility is able to see all base stations normally, it is only 6.0 that has the problem.
The only work around I have found is to take an extra base station and reset it. I join the new base station's default network. Airport Utility sets things up, and the network reappears. The trouble is, Airport Utility changes the name of the network to the name of the computer I'm on at the moment. When I use airport utility to change the name back my network disappears again (in Airport Utility. So, I guess I'll change the name of a computer to my network name and try again.
Does anyone have a better way to make the network reappear in Airport Utility? I have tried connecting directly, base stain to Mac on both the WAN and LAN ports of the base station. I have tried using a Mac with a fresh install of 10.7.3 and AP Utility 6.0. I have tried shutting down my network and starting with just the main AP base station. Any other ideas to make my network reappear in Airport Utility after making any change?

WRT54GS - My laptop occasionally doesn't detect my network, but it detects others...HELP!

As the subject says, over the past few days, my laptop (HP Pavilion dv5-1003nr) occasionally fails to detect my network.
It will still detect networks from my neighbors, but I typically have to go and physically turn off the modem, wait and turn it back on for it to recognize it.
My laptop is situated approximately ten feet from the router, which sits on top of the cable box, below the television. Could the cable box and/or television be interfering with the router?
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Rob

Your router should a couple of meters away from your television and cable box.

G530 doesn't detect wireless networks

Hi.
I have problem with my lenovo g 530 (4446-12a)
OS is Win XP prof with SP3.
In device maneger all drivers are installed.
It says that wireless adapter is Intel WiFi Link 5100.
Problem is that no wireless networks are found.
I tried on different locations but result is allways the same...no wireless network found.
What could be the problem?
I already installed OS twice, same results.
Thanks for help.

Are you sure wireless is turned on?
Your laptop may use a switch, or a keyboard combination to enable.
Also may be disabled by Intel/Lenovo software.
Lastly, may be disabled in BIOS Setup.

Every time there's a power cut or I turn off my router, my Macbook doesn't detect the network and doesn't accept the password. Finally, after many, many attempts at solving with 'diagnostics', rebooting...the 'network changes' detected message shows.

How can I get it to look for a network change - or find the change immediately - and speed up the process? Is there really a change? This has really frustrated me many, many times.
I'm using 10.6.8 and see there's an update that supposedly helps airport problems but that people hatve problems with it. I'm having enough problems without those too!
Thank you for any ideas.

Take your battery out and reset your PMU.

Next time you shut down, wait until the computer is totally shut down -- i.e., make sure you don't hear your fan running, the screen is black and that the light is out on the front of the computer -- before you close the lid.
I had that exact thing happen once, and since I done the above, it's never happened since.

My wife and sons iphone 5 and my other sons iPod shows up as offline on my phone but all the devices including my phone shows up on theirs. What's wrong?

As the title says, it used to work fine. Only yesterday when I tried to find my son I noticed that all devices was offline. When he came home I checked his phone and I could see all the devices on my account. The only thing I've downloaded was a app voltage mail do I could read a secure email sent from the hospital. I've tried restarting, resetting, turning location off and on. When I remove the device and restart find my phone all the devices are listed again.

The fact that the problem only occurs when iphones are texting you leads me to think that iMessage may be the culprit. The fact that it is only iphones using SPRINT however is weird. Try turning imessage off on both yours and your sons phones to see if the problem persists. If it does, it may be a carrier problem.

Hi so my phone wont unlock and the touch screen on my phone wont work i was wondering what is wrong with it

If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5 and 5C. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.
You will find respective repair costs in the appropriate link:
iPod Service Support and Costs
iPhone Service Support and Costs
iPad Service Support and Costs
There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task:
1. iResq or Google for others.
2. Buy and replace screen yourself: iFixit

My line in sound doesn't seem to work, what's wrong with it?

I've tried plugging in several mircophones with 1/8" jacks ( I think that is the small standard headphone ones.) The thing is none of these work. The problem is they all say they work with mac. I need to get one of these to work. I've gone to the system prefs and go to the sound settings and I don't get any farther in my mission to get this to work. Please and thank you to the help I get.

Hi
First up when you go into Speech you are using the built-in microphone which has sufficient 'gain' in the circuit in order to work.
When you plug an external microphone into your PB you are actually plugging a microphone into a 'line input' that is an input designed to accept signals at 'line' level not microphone level. So you either need to get yourself a microphone amp to boost the signal before the input to the PB or a 'line' level microphone. Same thing really except the amp is included in the microphone.
Hope that helps.

Which firmware version is on it? Because that was the behavior with first firmware version. Check for a firmware upgrade and you solve that. But to sort right now, you must format the phone.

Ipod not detecting any networks except mine

When I first purchased my iPod Touch, it would consistently detect a list of approximately 10 wireless networks (when I was sitting in my living room). My laptop detected the same 10 wireless networks. About a month ago, my iPod stopped detecting any of these other networks. It would still detect my own wireless network, but only if I was in the same room as the router. And even though it would detect my network, it would rarely connect to it. I took my unit back to the store, and the store sent it out for "repairs". I received a refurbished unit.
The refurbished unit seems to connect to my network a little more frequently, and seems to detect it from a little further away (like upstairs) but it still doesn't detect any of the multiple networks that are in my area.
It also doesn't detect any networks when I take it downtown to the office district (and when I first purchased my iPod, it would detect like 40 networks when I was downtown).
What's the deal? And how do I fix this?

I have the same problem.

On my iphone 4s I got a scratch on it,then about a month later there are verticle lines and a high pitch noise til it is done focusing. What's wrong with my phone?

Hello
Okay so I have had my Iphone for almost an entire year and there's a problem. I have gotten a scratch a scratch about a month ago on the back camera. It's at the very bottom. I've gotten used to it so it doesn't bother me. Well ever since like a week ago my camera gets colorful lines that are verticle and go away when it's focused. Not to mention the high pitch noise while it focuses with the lines. I'm getting irritated with it. Mainly what's is wrong with my phone?! Also how much is the cost?

Since we can't examine your phone, we really have no idea what is wrong. Why don't you make an appointment at your local Genius Bar and get the phone examined and what your options are moving forward.
