Why does my new 3gs phone say no service when it was working earlier

Why does my newly purchased Iphone 3GS say no service - it was working earlier today. I can do nothin on it - can't make calls or receive them !!

AT&T is my carrier, in RI, can't text, can't call, go onto Safari, get emails?  Happens once in a while for a few minutes.  Today it wouldn't work at all.  I am home now and have wireless and it won't pick up that signal either.
I don't know about SIMor where it is located. I was a blackberry girl for years.  This phone is only a few weeks old, bought at Apple Store in Providence RI, they didn't tell me about SIM.  It has worked fine till today.
Thank you.

  • Why does my iphone 3GS repeat the same song when I choose shuffle?

    Why does my iphone 3GS repeat the same song when I choose shuffle?  It just started doing it today.  I rebooted the phone, I looked to see if th repeat icon was being chosen and I cant even find that anymore!  Help!

    You can find the Additional Audio Controls as described here, to check if "repeat song" is also activated.
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iPhone_User_Guide.pdf page 94
    Additional Audio Controls
    To display additional controls, tap the album artwork on the Now Playing screen.
    The repeat, Genius, and shuffle controls appear along with the scrubber bar. You can see elapsed time, remaining time, and the song number. The song’s lyrics also appear, if you’ve added them to the song in iTunes.
    Use the scrubber bar to skip to any point along the timeline. You can adjust the scrub rate from high-speed to fine by sliding your finger down as you drag the playhead along the scrubber bar.

  • Why does my iPhone 3gs keep saying "cannot connect to iTunes store" when I try to purchase anything?

    I have tried to purchase songs on iTunes tonight and my iPhone keeps telling me "Cannot connect to iTunes Store". I can listen to samples of the music I want, I am just not able to download them. Any suggestions??

    Same here........ I'm using my iPhone, iPad and MacBook pro and I "cannot connect to iTunes"............my Internet connection is great......... The apple store might be doing some update!

  • Why does the new itunes update say my songs will be deleted?

    Is there a way around this?

    Do the following two things:
    In the left-hand pane, right-click the name of the playlist, choose Edit Smart Playlist, and make sure that "Live Updating" is checked.
    In the list itself, click the column header for "Last Played" so that the list will sort according to when it was played, with most recent on top.

  • Why does my Windows PC always say Incorrect Password when I Try to Connect to the Time Capsule storage by Airport for Windows?

    I just installed AirPort on My Windows PC.
    Now I wont to Connect to the hard drive of Time Capsule to share Data with my MacBook.
    Air Port always says "wrong password".
    I even tryed to change the password, restart the PC, restart Time Capsule ...
    Nothing happans.
    The Ethernet connection, Internet connection and printer connection works great, but not the Hard drive!!!
    Can anyone help me???

    Sorry I went off to dream land and Apple decided to glitch their server so the edit failed. I am answering different posts with different problems and went off about networking. Blame it on age.
    You can ignore most of the post above.
    But I do still want you to connect direct to the TC without any other connections.
    Reset it to factory by holding in the reset and then powering on.. keep holding in reset until the led flashes rapidly. This is a total wipe of settings. 
    I do want you to use airport utility to access the TC.. to erase the disk, and restart as a fresh new TC.
    Do not password it.. do not change anything from defaults except to turn on Guest network give it read and write permissions.. And to set the correct workgroup.. update the TC. .
    Then try to access the TC . if it asks for a password it is public. username can be anything but either current username on the pc or admin.
    BTW make sure you are logging into windows.. just booting straight to desktop ruins the security permissions and loads of things do not work. You must log into windows.. and then log into the TC.
    If it doesn't work as I said try linux os or reinstall windows.. that is necessary every couple of years anyway.. it will work.. you have a permissions issue or networking issue.. these can be cleared.

  • Why does Microsoft New Phonetic IME 10.1 for Chinese (Traditional) not work with Firefox 5 on Windows 7?

    When I use the standard out-of-box New Phonetic IME 10.1 for Chinese (Traditional), I can only input the following sequence of characters, regardless of the key(s) I press:
    ㄅㄉˇˋㄓˊ˙ㄚㄞㄢ
    So, even continuously pressing the same key will produce the above sequence of characters.
    This problem does not affect Internet Explorer 9 or any other programs that run on Windows 7.

  • Why does a sound from Jampack suddenly not play (after it was working fine)

    Have a track-----French Horn part written in and was all playing fine. However, at a certain point it just won't play the French Horn part and/or even play the french horn sound or any of the new horn sounds. But the part is there (i see the midi notes and it plays it back on just a piano sound).
    Nothing muted/soled, etc. However, if I start an entirely new session/song, then it plays back a new horn part fine.
    Even if I create just a new track it won't play the part on the old session.
    Thanks for your help.

    What  you are reporting is a known Premiere Elements 12 issue, the loss of sound from numbered Audio Tracks and Soundtrack after narration has been added to the project with the program's Narration Tool.
    It was only looked at in another thread earlier this evening and resolved.
    Premier Elements 12 for Mac - After narration, only Narration track plays back.
    The fix suggested by Llamadude99 and variations there of seem to be the answer. Please go through the link above and the links within in the for even more background on the issue. I have not been able to reproduce the problem in Premiere Elements 12/12.1 Windows with a desktop microphone (computer jack connection) in order to get at the core of the issue first hand.
    Some background questions...what computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 12 running on? And what type of microphone are you using for creating narration with the Premiere Elements 12 Narration Tool? Are you using Premiere Elements 12 or the Premiere Elements 12.1 Update obtained via the project's Help Menu/Update?
    Please let us know the outcome.
    Thank you.

  • Why does itunes give an error saying " The Iphone cannot be synced. An unknown error occured (-50). Everytime I try to sync my phone?

    Why does itunes give an error saying " The Iphone cannot be synced. An unknown error occured (-50)". Everytime I try to sync my phone? I have another Iphone that syncs with the same itunes account and it's working fine.

    What operating system do you have on your computer?

  • Why does my iphone 3gs shut down when battery gets to 80%?  have installed new battery and nothing changes?

    Why does my iphone 3gs shut down when battery shows 80%.  a couple of months ago is shut down at 60% but has continually gotten worse.  this was before 5.0.  i took it to a repair man and he tried a used battery, a new battery, and the original battery.  nothing helped.  5.01 didnt help either.  What is my problem?

    Fully discharge the battery (till it shuts down and won't turn on) and then fully recharge it (100%).  This will recalibrate the battery meter.  You may need to do this a few times.

  • Why does my iphone 3gs screen go white after it goes "to sleep" for the first time after turning it on?

    Why does my iphone 3gs screen go white after it goes "to sleep" for the first time after turning it on?
    The screen isn't broken because it works after i turn the device off and back on, but after it goes black once, it's only white again.
    But it takes the touches although it's only white, because I can answer my phone when I slide my finger on the bottom of the screen, eventhough there in not the button to see.
    This is so weird. I have already done everything I can think of that might help. But I cannot think of anything that might be causing it, because nothing has happened to the device.

    Let me know if I should start a new discussion instead of opening a new topic here.
    My wife's iPhone is the same vintage as mine 3Gs, but has never had the battery problem.  Its affliction instead is that it cannot detect WiFi networks unless it is quite close to the source.  Often, when my iPhone not only detects but shows a maximum cells connection with a network, hers cannot detect the network at all.  In contrast, her iPhone seems to detect ourcellular carrier just as well as mine does.
    Is there any help for this affliction?

    why does my iPhone 4 always say "sync will resume when "... MacBook Pro" is available??? i can't seem to sync over wifi

    Try the following:
    1. Connect the phone to your computer using the USB cable and let it sync.
    2. Uncheck "Sync with this iPhone over Wi-Fi"
    3. Click Apply
    4. Check "Sync with this iPhone over Wi-Fi"
    5. Click Apply
    6. Quit iTunes
    7. Disconnect the phone from the USB cable
    8. Make sure your phone is connected to your Wi-Fi network
    9. Open iTunes
    iTunes should see your iPhone and connect to it. Go under Settings > General > iTunes Wi-Fi Sync and see if you can initiate a sync.

  • Why does our new iMac down load speed so slow (1.99) being right next to router. Our hp laptop 30 ft away ran at 13.50.

    Why does our new imac download speed so slow (1.99) being right next to the router? Our HP laptop 30 ft  away is running at (13.50), and our old HP desk top connected to highspeed is at (33.10).

    You are surprised that Mac OS X 10.7 is running on hardware that Apple officially supports and says it will run on?  I find your logic unbelievably falwed.
    Not a single problem I've mentioned would be caused by "slow" CPU or "little" RAM.  How does iPhoto not bringing up the file dialog box have anything even remotely to do with the speed of the CPU or the quantity of RAM?  If what you say is true, then yes, performance would be bad, but it wouldn't be selectively bad.  I stated that apps such as Reason 5 run perfectly fine, even really well.  I can load 30-50 racks and synths and not even reach 50% of CPU utilization, Reason never freezes, etc.  DVD playback never freezes as well!!  Your logic is horrendously flawed, it seems you don't know much about computer architecture   Thus, unfortunately, your reply was of absolutely no help, sorry.
    p.s. the external disk spin up problem freezing up the entire graphical interface also has nothing to do with either my CPU/RAM or the OS version I'm running.  It is a known crippleware factor of Mac OS X that at least a thousand people are complaining about online and Apple has done nothing about!
