Where is the cellular data network settings menu?
Hello, i cant find the cellular data network settings menu that appeared in iOS6 like this "http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2283" on iOS7. I need to edit the APN so my iphone can connect to the network but i cant find that menu, please help me!
Hey,
The option Steve said works only with a few carriers/SIMcards, actually to this option be shown the SIMcard must have the APN edit enabled on itself, then once you insert the SIMcard the option will be shown.
If the option won't appear you can try to use the iPhone Configuration utility http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1466, or you can check with your carrier if there is any possibility of getting one of this enabled simcards.
Rgds.

My carrier is Straight Talk (using ATT network) and they require the user to enter the APN settings in order to access their data network. My Iphone 4s is factory unlocked but I can not get to the Cellular Data Network tab to enter the settings?
Yes ATT hides the APN settings so when you try to use a st sim it automatically reads on AT&T network so the APN settings are hidden and cannot be accessed however you can go to apn.straighttalk.com on you'r phone and select APN/data settings then select AT&T then iPhone and a screen will pop up asking if you would like to install the profile for whatever reason it's not verified but works fine. You can also go to www.unlockit.co.nz and set up a straight talk APN profile that is verified not sure exactly what that means but both work to get the data working on the phone for straight talk but it does not make the MMS work. There are a couple other methods I have read about one is on howardforums using ibackupbot to manually change the files on the phone I haven't been able to get mine to stick using that method but other people have and there is a sim swap method to trick the phone to reveal APN settings using a tmobile sim I have not tried this but other people have with success. The last two methods mentioned will make both data and MMS work

So as the title says, after I got my iPhone 5s from apple, factory unlocked, my brother used his sim card in it for a moment to allow it to be registered and usable on WIFI until I made it to Japan. Now that I have a data SIM card, I have to input specific APN settings, which are located in settings>cellular>cellular data network, however, cellular data network is not available as an option. I have reset the phone multiple times with and without backups and with and without the new sim in the phone. I have also used the configuration utility to try to put the APN settings in the phone. I contacted Apple and they didn't really have an answer as to what i should do. My brother checked his Verizon account and my phone does not show up as one of his devices, so right now I'm stuck with and incredibly expensive iPod. Does anyone have any idea what I can do to remedy this? I am unable to contact Verizon via telephone myself as I have no phone service. Any help would be greatly, greatly appreciated.
You only have to clone your mac when using certain cable modem. You don't clone your mac when using dsl.

Where (in the filesystem) are network settings stored?
Hello,
i did a clean install of mavericks, and want to import the network settings from an older backup i did (have both: 10.8 full backup and 10.9 library folder backup) into the new system; unfortunately i don't know where they are stored, and can't seem to find any information on this issue!
I searched all of the preferences and application support folders, but no success.
does anyone know more about this?
thanks & kind regardsah, thanks! i read about "SystemConfiguration" before, but didn't find it - i searched in the user's library folder, but it's the "global" library folder. only have the user library backup with me now, but will check later when i get home. thanks!

I purchased an unlocked iPhone4 last month. Everything was fine till yesterday. Today morning when I tried to check mail, i suddenly got an error message saying " Could not activate cellular data network: you are not subscribed to a cellular data service", when I checked on my network settings i was not able to find the cellular data network tab ( where we use to input APN manually). i even tried to restore my iPhone to its factory settings, Still it remains the same. i cant able to connect to Internet using cellular data. help me...Plz..
Where did you purchase it from? There are lots of iPhones sold as "unlocked" which are carrier locked phones that were hacked and are not officially unlocked. These phones are subject to re-locking to the original carrier, particularly when updated.

Iphone constantly loses Cellular Data APN settings - PLEASE HELP
HI
I bought a 16gb 3gs iphone and contract from tesco just before Xmas. The settings I have used for APN and MMS are:
prepay.tesco-mobile.com / tescowap / password
Unfortunately the iPhone has an annoying habit of reverting to: idata.o2.co.uk / vertigo / password
Has this happening to anyone else how do I fix it??? This is the 2nd iPhone since the 17th Dec I have had that is doing the same thing.
;-(I sent my 32gb 3gs pay-as-you-go iphone back to tesco to repair this self same problem. I received a letter in which tesco admits (and I quote) "Your phone has been examined by one of our engineers and unfortunately we have found that we are unable to carry out a satisfactory repair." They packaged a brand new iphone "to ensure you are not inconvenienced in any way." And, you guessed it, the replacement iphone has exactly the same problem of being unable to retain its cellular data network settings.
I believe tesco have been aware of this issue for some time, yet have carried on selling pay-as-you-go iphones in the hope they could find a resolution. Until today that is, when its customer care line started to announce pay-as-you-go iphones are no longer for sale - contract only. The tesco direct web site has now taken them off sale, but very quietly. They are still being advertised but you don't find out they are unavailable until you get to the the checkout.
I have persevered with tesco on the telephone (being passed from pillar to post) insisting that the iphone is unfit for purpose in that it does not provide - and has never been able to provide - the services promised. Today they agreed to give me my money back. Lets see if I get it. -

Good day thehuman0,
Some carriers do not allow you to change your APN settings. See this article -
iOS: About cellular data network settings (viewing or editing the APN) - Apple Support
Specifically -
To edit the settings, tap each field and enter the details provided by your carrier. The settings should save automatically. Depending on your carrier, you may not be able to edit the cellular data settings.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Safe computing,

"Could not activate cellular data network" Is it because I'm a liar?
Hello, I called my cellphone company (Virgin France) and repeatedly asked for help about why I cannot activate the cellular data network and they say it's probably an Apple related problem. I see "3G" in the status bar, in the settings I have enabled 3G, Cellular Data, and Data Roaming. My iTunes / iPhone are up to date. I can send and receive text messages and calls. I can access WiFi.
Here's were I was probably an idiot:
I have two residencies (France & States). In the initial screen when it asked me what country I was in, I said the States because I wanted to access the American App / iTunes Store (as I do with my other iTunes based products). Then I added a 0 to my French phone number because I thought, "what difference does it make."
Well, now that I weirdly cannot access my 3G network, it seems to be the only factor that could have caused the problem.
I have tried restarting and restoring the phone but I cannot get back to this initial Apple account step (heck, I'll open another Apple account with my French info just to get this thing working...that way I can just switch between the two accounts in the app store).
Is this the problem? Or is it my cellphone company? Any ideas? Any help would be appreciated.now i find out about the problem................it was with APN carrier setting..............now the problem is solved.....
what i actually did is view a vedio on you tube which describe how you can re set APN carrrier setting for your network......... and the site is.....................http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5RlX-tS-CQ...............
this describes the step by step procedure for APN carrier setting.................... now my problem is solved. -
Alert! Could not activate cellular data network.
Is anybody familiar with the alert "Could not activate cellular data network"?
It alerts my frequently when I use my old iPhone 3G. I have requested my cellular service provider to block my GPRS, and the MMS function is turned off because I don't need it. Could this be the reason and can I turn the alert off?KiltedTim wrote:

You told your provider to block data services. You get an alert that the iPhone couldn't activate the cellular data network... Makes sense to me.
If you want to stop the alert, I believe you're going to have to go into settings and turn off cellular data. I'm not positive if this will stop the alerts or not, but I believe it will.
I don't know who your provider is, but most REQUIRE a data package if you have an iPhone.
Ok, thanks. -
Why has my ipad lost connectivity to the AT&T cellular data network after upgrading to iOS 8.1.2? My iPad is model #MD367LL/A, 32 GB WIFI + Cellular, about 2-1/2 years old. It;s been working perfectly up until now. I have no problem on my home WIFI, or through personal hotspot working through my iPhone 5.
I have worked with AT&T, replaced the SIM card with a new one, and done a backup/restore to factory settings, all with the same result that when I turn Cellular
Data on, with or without Enable LTE, it goes into "searching" mode, or reports "no service". My iPhone 5 works perfectly on iOS 8.1.2, on Cellular. I've browsed the blogs and have tried Apple's suggested fix, all to no result.
Oddly enough, every once in a while I do get connected to the network for a short ime (minutes), but it always returns to "searching".
I've filed a report with Apple, along with a request that they contact me, but no results yet.
Help? (and thank you).Hello razmee209. Thank you for your response. I spent the better part of yesterday working with Apple Support. They tried their best, to include backing up photos to my HP laptop, backing up the iPad to iCloud, then resetting the iPad in total. Same problem. I restored from the cloud to recover my apps, same problem.
AT&T installed a new sim card - same problem. I spent time with AT&T Support yesterday, too. In both cases, (Apple and AT&T) the support techs who worked with me were extremely polite, courteous and helpful to the best of their abilities, but I think the problem lies deeper, and nobody at Apple is admitting they have a problem with iOS 8, that I'm aware of.
I didn't have this issue before I upgraded to iOS 8.1.2.
Everything else with the iPad works fine: WIFI, Personal Hotspot, email, all my apps, etc.
In browsing the web for this issue I see that many other folks have the same problem. I filed a report with Apple this morning, requesting that they contact me, but no word yet. I was going to go to iPhone 6, and had been considering the iPad Air 2, but I see reports of this problem with those units as well.
At this point I don't think I'll be spending any more money with Apple, at least not till this issue is resolved.
Thanks again for your response and suggestions. -
Please can someone help me to solve the error message "Could not activate cellular data network: PDP authentication failure"when using 3G or GPRS on safari with an iphone 4GS and latest software updates. I have tried resetting the network and phone settings. I have restored the factory settings on itunes and still the problem persists.
All iPhones sold in Japan are sold carrier locked and cannot be officially unlocked by the carrier. If you unlocked it, it was by unauthorized means (hacked), and support cannot be given to you in this forum.
Hacked iPhones are subject to countermeasures by Apple, particularly when updating the firmware. It is likely permanently re-locked or permanently disabled.
