Why did my service go out?

I have a 3G iPhone that I got in August that I haven't had any problems with. Today, I woke up and there is aboslutely no service. I've tried turning on and off airplane mode, turning the phone off and back on , and resetting it (by holding the power and home buttons) and nothing has worked. It just says Searching... or No Service. Anything else I could try? If I can't get it working, I plan on going to the AT&T store after I get off work but I'd like to have it back on before then. Any ideas?

There is usually no reason to get the sim card replaced if the phone can get 3G in some locations but not others.
This NO Service report is common in areas where 3G service is being built up or expanded, and happened in my area earlier this month.
Previously an iPhone with 3G turned on would revert to Edge in seconds, but once ATT started hanging 3G on the local towers (but had not yet opened 3G for users) you would get the No Service, and sometimes (but not always) it would fall over to Edge after a LONNNNNNNG time.
Calling ATT, I was advised to leave 3G off till some specific date when the service was officially accepting connections.
Switching off 3G got the phone working reliably (GSM/Edge is always more reliable than 3G).
Upon the date specified by ATT, 3G worked fine. (I still run Edge most of the time).
The ATT rep said this can also happen in localized areas as more towers are being added, but not quite ready for full service.
If the phone gets 3G elsewhere, running to ATT for a new sim will prove useless.

Western iso 8859-1 character set is gone, "other (including Western" does not work. Why did you take it out?

Some websites need Western ISO 8859-1 character set to run properly and you have taken it away in favour of "other(including Western)", now the site does not work properly. Why did you take it out and can you please put it back.

ISO-8859-1 and Windows-1252 should be equivalent. Can you provide an example of a page that doesn't display properly?
If you have to manually select a character encoding to view the page correctly, then the site is broken and you should notify its owner that it needs be fixed. Websites specify the character encoding in one of two ways:
* [http://www.w3.org/International/tutorials/tutorial-char-enc/ Handling character encodings in HTML and CSS | W3C]
# The ''Content-Type'' response header.
# The ''meta'' tag in the page source.

These are user-to-user forums, you are not talking to Apple here - I've asked the hosts to remove your phone number from your post.
You've checked the purchase history on your account (Store > View My Account menu option on your computer's iTunes), and have you made any in-app purchases or have any auto-renewing subscriptions ? If not and you didn't change your credit card details on your account 7 times (when you change them then a temporary store holding charge may be applied to check that the details are correct and valid, which should disappear within a few days) then you can contact iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

Why did I randomly signed out and said "Password c...

I was just messaging my friends on Skype, randomly kicked me out and said "Password changed, log in new password"
I was like what the hell? I didnt change anything. I tried logging back in, didn't work. I tried resetting it, it also didn't work, says contact support or somthing. I really need this account back. Am I hacked or somthing?

Yes, Same Problem!
I just did the unlink skype account from microsoft account.
(DID I EVER DO THIS??? OR DID SKYPE?????)
I'm still logged in, so that might have worked.
The following is a flame to SKYPE:
This started happening to me at a very very akward time (like just before an imporatant call)
YOUR error message to me was to update.
I updated.
Your next error message to me included this Unlink to microsoft account.
Obviously not my problem cause I didn't link them . . . . and my primary microsoft account is a different email address (firstname.lastname)
Why not have the error message APOLOGIZE to me for perhaps doing this.

Why did my pictures download out of order?

I am trying to do a picture video for my son for Graduation. When I scanned and entered the items I wanted on the flash drive I did it in the order I wanted it on the video. Then when I went to adobe premier and uploaded them they uploaded out of order. I am trying to put it all back in order but I am not sure how tk do it in a fast time. It's taking forever. I am about ready to delete it all and start all over with the upload but if they never will upload in order then I would have to start completely over. Please help! I have a hp laptop that I am using

On a side note, 'upload' means to transfer a file from a local computer to a remote computer over a network, and 'download' means the reverse, from a remote computer to a local computer. These terms have nothing to do with PP after the installation process.
What you're doing is importing the media.

Why did a service bus show up after adding mobile service?

I created 1 mobile service (.NET backend) with default 20MB SQL database, then added a scheduled job (but didn't configure).
When I logged back in to check something I noticed I also had 1 Service Bus and 1 Active directory.
Where did these come from since I didn't add these to my account?

Hi,
From my experience, if we add a new mobile service, it will not add service bus or active directory, I think this may be related with your mobile service, may be you use code to build service bus or active directory, I suggest you check your codes, if you
encounter this issue when create new mobile service, please feel free to let me know.

Why did acrobat drop pages out of my document when I merged them?

I merged my documents and both times I tried, acrobat cut of the majority of one of the documents. Suggestions?

Hi Anubha,
I was using Acrobat 9 Pro, and merging word 2010 docs. I was able to solve the issue by saving the word doc that was being split as a PDF then merging it. I still don’t know why this happened though.
Thanks,

Why did iMUNIZATOR page appear out of nowhere on Safari 3.1?

I was accessing the food channel and iMUNIZATOR pop up page appeared. I read on google that this is because of a weakness of Safari. Do I have to do anything and is it harmful?

It automatically open for me too when I was at foodnetwork.com. My guess is that it's something on their side. I sent them an email. We'll see what they have to say.

Garageband used to have chord view on the display, why did they take it out?

i got garageband 10.0.1 and i miss being able to see the chord names as i play them on my midi controller...shocked and bummed. i don't get it.

As a workaround - if you add a guitar track to your project, you can enable the Guitar Tuner from this track. select the guitar track and click the tuning fork icon.
Then play your midi instrument. It will not show chords, but at least the most dominant note you are playing.
léonie, that is not quite correct. Although there is one Tuner Button in the Control Bar and it seems as simple as clicking the button to open the Tuner window, there is a little bit more to it.
First of all, each Input Channel on your selected Audio Device has it's own Tuner Window.
For example,
If you select an Audio Track (Vocals 1) that has Input 1 of the Audio Device selected, then the Tuner window (that opens when that Track is selected) has the name "Input 1" in the Window Title. It tells you that you are tuning the audio singal on Input Channel 1.
If you select another Audio Track (Vocals 2) that has Input 2 of the Audio Device selected, then a second Tuner window will open (in case you haven't close the first one), and that one has "Input 2" in the window title, to indicate that this one "listens" to Input Channel 2 of your Audio Device.
BTW, the Tuner works on any Audio Track, regardless if they are created with the microphone icon or the guitar icon in the New Tracks Dialog.
You cannot display any MIDI note that you play on a MIDI Track. Maybe the Software Instrument played through your speaker and that was picked up by a microphone on the Track that had a Tuner Window open.

Why did apple leave out chapters from FCX?

I have been consistently surprised by Apple in that when I boutght the imac in November, I did not realize it no longer had idvd. I have purchased Final Cut Pro but have found out it does not allow you to make chapters for output to dvd. Why did they leave these things out? If I can understand why, perhaps I can adjust. I am so disappointed.

a) DVD is SDef only - HDef is for more than 6-7 years the thing
b) DVD is limited - delivering via 'Cloud services' allows display (in HDef) on phones, pads, computers, tellys, at home, mobile, anywhere, for you, for others, for all.
and if you like to hand-out a single copy of a movie, use a flash-mem usb-stick
no doubt, iDVD was a masterpiece of software, offering superb designs and tons of individualizing options (I made a website some hundred years ago … https://sites.google.com/site/idvdmodding/ ).
it would be charming, Apple would offer legacy iDVD as a 2.99$ at AppStore …

Why did my local Verizon store rep try to talk me out of an iPhone? He told me they were made of glass and would break. If I wanted one I should buy it somewhere else. I had to insist on the purchase telling him I have a MacBookPro and iPad.

Why did my local Verizon store rep try to talk me out of an iPhone? He told me they were made of glass and would break. If I wanted one I should buy it somewhere else. I had to insist on the purchase telling him I have a MacBookPro and iPad and I was upgrading both my service contract and two phones.

It seems an odd way of doing business, I think it would make more sense just to say they didn't have any in stock. However I can think of four reasons. 1) budone suggested the request may have come from Apple, one reason for them to request would be they are running out of the current model of iphone. Production problems, phone related or not. 2) Whoever has Verizon's insurance on the iPhones may have stated ENOUGH! Perhaps they have replaced too many iPhones. 3) Verizon will soon be giving away the iPhones (with of course purchase of a (overpriced) phone/data plan contract), so they don't want customers complaining that they had to pay for theirs. Last but not least 4) The salesperson or store manager may have a beef with Apple (or their insurer). However, These are simply my guesses, why not call the store you purchased from and ask to speak to the manager. You may (or not) get a better answer. Hope this helps.

Camera service has disappeared on my ipad 2, how do I find it and why did it disappear?

My camera icon is still visible but when I click on it, the service (take pictures) has disappeared, how come? where or how do I find it? why did it disappear?

It should be 'on' - if it was 'off' then the app woud be hidden and you wouldn't be able to access the app from your homescreen.
Have you tried closing the Camera app completely and seeing if it works when you re-open it ? From the home screen (i.e. not with Camera 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Camera app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Why did carefully over heating my 4s restore the wifi function? This, after 2 months of mysteriously grey out wifi buttons, loads of time trying to resolve issue with apple tech only to be told I must pay $199 to repair the problem. I'm disillusioned now

Is the Wi-Fi button greyed out? Try this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1559
Also, make a backup to iTunes of the device. Then restore it as a new device. If you still have wi-fi greyed out, then contact Apple again, and explain that you believe you have a hardware issue. They may still ask for a $19 deposit, but if it is actually hardware related, then you won't be charged the $19. Only if it is software related do you get charged that $19.

IMac is asking for admin login password upon startup when it never did before, settings are still on auto login. Why is it doing this out of the blue?

iMac is asking for admin login password upon startup when it never did before, settings are still on auto login. Why is it doing this out of the blue?

Is sounds like it might for some reason booting into Safe Mode, which does prompt for a password.
Try a PRAM reset:
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
If that doesn't help, restart holding down the option key which should take you to the startup manager. Select Macintosh HD (you may need to use the arrows on the keyboard if the kb is Bluetooth), tap 'enter'. Does it boot normally now?
