Very poor coverage - just got an iphone 5s - typically 1-2 bars. Dropped calls when I switch rooms. Right in the middle of Palo Alto/Stanford area - zip code 94305
Crazy - never had any issues with AT&T - thinking about going back..... Brand new iphone 5S. I've reset the network, disabled and enabled imessaging. Any thoughts?
Kent,
We do not want to see you go. Thank you for all the troubleshooting you have done thus far. I do not see any service alerts in your area. Do you only have issues inside your home with dropped calls? Do you also have issues with data and text? Are you connected to Wifi in your home?

Hi johnnytoo!
I know it's aggravating when you need to send an email and it doesn't go through! I have a link that provides step by step information from Apple's website that should resolve this for you.

I just got an iphone 4, but use a dell computer (microsoft) at home. I plan to use the phone's calendar. How do I backup my calendar and phone contacts on my desktop as a safety net in case the phone is lost or destroyed. Thanks.
The iphone is designed to be synced to your cpmputer regularly.

Hi,
Just got an iphone 5S today. Now all of a sudden when I delete an email on my phone, it also deletes it on my home computer - which I don't want happening............any thoughts?
Thanks.Assuming that Chris is correct, you can set up the account on the phone as a POP3 account. This will allow you to delete mail from the phone without deleting it from the server, but it also means that you will have to delete mail from the phone separately, so you will have to delete mail twice, once from the phone and once from your computer.
If you want to do that see: Forcing creation of a POP or IMAP email account -
Just got 3g-so now I get lots of dropped calls?
So I live in a fairly rural area of Iowa, a college town of about 50,000. I just got 3g with At&t a few weeks ago. Ever since then, I have been experiencing some random dropped calls. When the other party tried to call back, they get my voicemail after a couple of rings or a "this number has been disconnected" greeting. I find it odd that just because I got 3g, I now get dropped calls. That has never been an issue for me before.
Also, the first several minutes I am on google maps or another location based app, it says I am over 70 miles away. This only occurs on 3g too. THe problem eventually corrects itself. At&t has been looking into this issue, but anymore insight as to why might be good to know.
ThanksAT&T coverage maps show 3G coverage in Iowa in only Cedar Rapids, Davenport, & Des Moines. http://www.wireless.att.com/coverageviewer/#?type=voice&3g=t&lat=42.022865811088 3&lon=-93.62675224438676&sci=10
You will get better service if you turn 3G off. Go Settings > General > Network > 3G > OFF. -
I just got my iphone 6 today and I can't call,text,or use data.
I have problems where I can't call, text, and surf though INTERNET. When I turn on internet (YouTube, Facebook and such), it uses my data but it doesn't work. I tried to call customer service MANY TIMES but my phone won't let me call.... I really need to fix this ASAP because I use my phone in various ways. I usually have 'no service' or 'one bar' or 'two bars' but regardless, it doesn't work..... I tried to use Wifi but it also doesn't work.... This is a very serious problem to me. Please Verizon do something!I My old phone "Cosmos 2" worked just fine in same area. I live in MD zip:21532.
Did you check the security software on your computer?

Very Poor Coverage at Santa Clara Convention Center
Last month I was at the Santa Clara Convention Center for a technical conference. Attendees here are constantly borrowing ATT phones to make calls when inside conference rooms or on the Convention Center Exhibit Floor. The signal here is very weak 1x. Data is virtually nonexistent. The lack of coverage here in this venue is really inexcusable. Even T-Mobile is providing better coverage. It is really a sad state of affairs when folks are asking their coworkers if they have a non-Verizon phone that they can borrow to make a call. The coverage problem extends to all areas of the Convention Center and the adjoining Hilton Hotel.
ATT is providing full signal strength on the convention center floor and in all conference rooms and Tmob works fairly well. Verizon is supposed to be coverage king especially in venues such as convention centers and other very populated metro areas.
I attend several conventions in Santa Clara per year and have spoken directly to the General Manager of the Santa Clear Convention Center. He informed me that he has had hundreds of complaints from vendors on the convention center floor. He contacted Verizon and was informed that the lapse in coverage was caused by the construction of the new Levis Stadium for the San Francisco 49ers that is adjacent to the Convention Center. The new Levis Stadium blocks that signal from the Verizon Cell Site. It seems to me that since this is such a high visibility venue, Verizon should permanently deploy a Cell on Wheels until the original cell site can be moved.
It doesn't make sense to me that Verizon is spending millions of dollars per year on television commercials while nothing has been done to improve the several coverage problem at this internationally renowned convention center. Can Verizon deploy a permanent Cell on Wheels to the Santa Clara Convention Center until the problem is resolved?Hi Paul,
I just completed a 3-day road trip throughout NYC Mon-Wed of this week, primarily on the West Side (85th down to 34th, Central Park West, Broadway, etc) and a little on the East Side (1st) and can confirm what you are seeing. I tried to open up a ticket with VZW on the problems since I had collected very specific location, signal, performance and experience data (and wasted 2GB of data and hours of my time troubleshooting), but they would not open any tower tickets for me since I left NYC to go home and was not in NYC long enough for them to be willing to open up a ticket for me. I suggest you call VZW back and ensure they text you the tower ticket #, also ask them to link your case information to their internal device forum "iphone 5 loses 4g lte" and text you confirmation of this too.
You can find my NYC test results at the link below to see if your experience matches mine. Whenever possible, I compared my VZW iPhone 5 experience to my AT&T Galaxy S III at the same locations and included those results as well.
Scroll down to Oct 11 at 6:09A for my NYC results. For what it's worth, I'm in Metro Boston and my iPhone 5 VZW experience has been just as bad out here. I have tried 3 iPhone 5's and 3 nano SIMs all on VZW.

I just got an iPhone 5 32GB and i have backed up my old 3GS 32GB via itunes (20GB of data on there) and it is taking a very long time to restore to my iPhone5. Its taken more than 20 hours and didnt complete.
The text "Time remaining ... hours" flickers.
I set it to start restoring from the 3GS backup yesterday at 1pm and the time remaining kept on increasing. I left it overnight and at 9am this morning the progress bar hadnt moved and it said 12 hours remaining.
I don't know why its taking so long. I unplugged it and it just set up as new phone. So i did a factory reset and tried again at 4pm and it is now 12am and it says 4 hours remaining and my computer occasionally flickers. (Its not a bad computer, 2 months old, i7, 6GB RAM, Heaps of HDD space). It also messes with google chrome and i cannot browse the web at all while it is trying to restore my iphone.
I have tried restarting my laptop and should i reinstall itunes? I simply dont see why it should take longer than 20 hours to copy over 20GB of data!
Can anyone help me?
Thank youI'm having this EXACT same problem with my iPhone 4, and I have the same computer stats (I have a Samsung Series 7)

Do I need assign a name to both my iphones? I just got an iPhone 5, BUT I still use my iPhone 3GS as a camera & iPod, and will need to back it up and sync it occassionally, I have NOT named either phone yet, they are recognized only as "owner's iphone".
NOTE: I HAVE A P.C.
Is there any danger of not naming them, and itunes confusing them, and gathering wrong backup info, etc.
ALSO....Does turning the volume all the way down silence all phone sounds? In other words before I sleep, do I need to click that little switch on the left side of the phone to achieve complete silence, if so, is there an INTERNAL way to do this so I don't have to push my finger in there through my otter box case to turn it off.?
I have AT&T on my iPhone 5, and I was wondering if there was a way to save my voicemails permanently somewhere, because they get erased by AT&T every 14 days.
ALSO.....How do I manage my 20,000 photos, in "my pictures" in my PC, shall I have one folder which has ALL of photos ALL OF THEM.........In sequence and then create dozens of other folders by event, catagory, etc. I get SO CONFUSED on what to do with my photos, what is THE BEST WAY to keep them organized.
Thank You Very Much,

I have a ton of files on my iPod and just got an iPhone. Last time I updated all my files were lost; how do I prevent this from happening again?
Max,
It really can take very long to import and process so many images - I would not dare to make a prediction.
Can you open the Activity Viewer?
From Aperture's main menu bar: Window > Show Activity.
This window will tell you the filename of the image that is currently being processed.
if you are seeing, that the import is still far from being finished, you might to pause certain tasks directly from this panel, like the generation of previews or scanning for faces. I'd let the import run, if you see that it is making progress.
Have you enabled very time-consuming options, like the generation of high resolution previes or scanning for faces and places? if yes, and the import is not making any progress at all, I'd disable thes options in the Aperture preferences for the initial import. You can add these later for the projects where you want to use these features.
Regards

Hi. So i had an iphone 4s. The phone was completely destroyed it was cracked, water damged, and now lost. I had about 1500 pictures on there. I just got an iphone 4 today and synced my icloud to find that no pictures loaded. Talked to apple and they want $250 and it's not guaranteed. So please help me find my pics and how i can pleasssee get them back. Very important pictures with a lot of memories. The pics were all on my camera roll of the 4s!!please help!!!
If you ever backed it up while these photos were on it, restoring another iOS device to the backup should recover them. If the backup was done with iTunes rather than iCloud, you may also be able to extract the photos from the backup on your computer by using 3rd party software such as iPhone Backup Extractor (http://www.iphonebackupextractor.com/).
