Why do I have to fully reset iphone 4 after every time I go abroad?

Over the summer, i went to Turkey on holiday and my iphone 4 worked fine there. however, when I got home, it could not detect any phone or wireless networks and I ended up having to fully reset it in order to have a working telephone.
I have just recently again been away, this time to Australia. The iphone 4 worked completely well over there, and also in Kuala Lumpur where I had a stop-over. However, as soon as I turned it on after the flight back to the UK, it was the same story and it had to be fully reset again. It's very annoying as you can't even make emergency calls, as it needs to be connected to iTunes to restore.
This was not actually the same phone that these two instances happened on (i had to get a new one in between the two trips), so it seems to be a recurring thing. Has anyone else had this problem?
Thanks

There could be several things.

Why do i have to sign in to my wifi every time i turn ipad mini on

why do i have to sign in to my wifi every time i turn ipad mini on

Do #5.
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
do not confuse moving your whole folder and library with moving just media files as in
iTunes for Mac: Moving your iTunes Media folder - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1449
Quick answer if you let iTunes manage your music: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Start iTunes with the option key held down and guide it to the new location of the library.
The fun will come when trying to keep them synchronized with each other. Maybe one of these commercial utilities:

Why do I have to reconnect to my Network manually every time I turn off my laptop? But yet it stores my password.

Why do I have to reconnect to my network every time I turn off my laptop? But yet it stores my password. It has been happening ever since I upgraded to OS X Lion. I have two default wireless routers I connect to (my home and work) and yet everytime I turn on my computer I have to manually select which network I want to join from the drop down menu at the top of my desktop. Any suggestions? I dont want to have to manually choose, it should just look for those two networks automatically and connnect to whichever one is available.

It was already set to Automatic......and still it doesnt connect to my network.

Why do i have to log on to my network every time i start to use my macbook pro.

I just started using a time capsule and every thing is working fine on my pc that is hooked to the network but every time I open my macbook pro I have to choose my network to join it. Any suggestions?
Also can the time capsule be used as a storage device for my pc and if so how do I set it up?
Thanks for any info.

Try the following, in order, until (hopefully) resolved:
1a. Delete Preferred Network(s)
System Preferences > Network > AirPort > Advanced > AirPort tab
Under "Preferred Networks," delete the network(s) you regularly use from the list.
1b. Delete AirPort Keychain Entries
Launch the "Keychain Access" application located in Applications/Utilties.
Click on the "Kind" filter at the top, and look for any "AirPort network password" entries...and delete them.
1c. Add Preferred Network(s)
System Preferences > Network > AirPort > Advanced > AirPort tab
Add the preferred network(s) using the "+" button.
Restart or log out then back in.
2. Move System Configuration Files
(Note: You will have to reestablish your network connections settings.)
Go to /Library/Preferences
Move the SystemConfiguration folder to the desktop.
Restart your Mac. (Note: OS X will rebuild the files that are now sitting on your desktop. If this doesn't resolve the issue, you can move the folder back to it's original location.)
Also can the time capsule be used as a storage device for my pc and if so how do I set it up?
Yes, the Time Capsule's (TC) internal HDD can be shared out to PCs. This is because in addition to the HFS+ protocol, the TC's File Sharing server uses SMB to allow PCs or Linux clients to access it. In addition to enabling the "Enable file sharing" option, you may need to enter a workgroup name in the Workgroup field. Both of these can be found on the File Sharing tab under Disks within the AirPort Utility.

Why do i have to pair my bluetooth head phones every time I want to use them?

Every time I want to use my Philips Bluetooth head phones, I have to unpair them and then pair them again. They say connected in blue tooth settings, but no audio is coming through. Worked flawlessly with my RAZR Maxx. This is something I use a lot, and may make this phone a return.

Yikes, I know how important it is to have the bluetooth working with out any issues, jwennrn. Are you still trying to use the bluetooth with the Droid Razr Maxx or with a different phone? Was there any new updates or applications that were downloaded when you noticed this problem started? Please keep us posted. I'm eager to work with you to get this working again.

Why do I have to enter my Apple ID password every time on the iOS app?

Every time I open the iTunesU app on my iPad I need to authenticate. I'm guessing it is due to being a course creator but is this really necessary?

You're right, it's because you're a course creator or contributor.

I have a fully functioning iPhone 4S that has been in water, it has left slight water marks on screen, everything else works and is in mint condition. I want to exchange it for an iphone 5s and pay the difference. Would this be possible at the apple store

I have a fully functioning iPhone 4S in mint condition apart some water marks on screen (dropped in bath) everything works perfectly as it should. I wish to exchange and pay the difference for an iphone 5s. Is this possible from the apple store (uk) how much do they normally give as a trade in and how much do they charge for an iphone 5s. Or should I just take it in and see if they will do a one for one swap and pay the difference. ( I don't like the water marks, it's annoying, maybe they will go away, I don't know) been sat in rice for a week.

The only thing Apple will do for you is an out of warranty exchange, & you will get EXACTLY what you have now. The cost will be US $199. Make an appointment at any Apple store.
