Why doesn't my iphone connect if no wi-fi is available?

My iphone 4s connects to the internet fine if wi-fi is availabe, but it won't there is no wi-fi.  We have a data package.  Why can't I access the internet anywhere?

Is Settings > General > Network > Enable 3G and Cellular Data: ON
Do a reset (Hold Sleep/Wake and Home buttons about 10 secs or more till Apple logo appears, ignore the Slide to Power Off that appears)
Note: You will not lose any data.

    Why doesn't my iPhone connect to tv? Keeps saying "this accessory is not supported by this iphone"

    I assume you are running ios 8.x.  It's a bug.
    Wait for a fix from apple.   ... OR ... You could buy a new Apple brand connector. The latest connectors will work, even the older apple brand connectors do not work.  OR try re-booting your ipad. OR wait until the video starts then attach the connector.

    What is data roaming? Does it cost extra?
    Why doesn't my iPhone automatically connect to AT&T service? Sometimes I have to go directly to Carriers in the Settings to connect to AT&T 3G. Thank you in advance.

    There is no local data roaming or call roaming in the U.S. as a subscriber with AT&T. Wherever AT&T has coverage in the U.S. is included.
    AT&T does not own all the towers in the areas where they have coverage in the U.S. AT&T calls this "off net usage"
    The following was copied from AT&T's wireless service agreement.
    +If your minutes of use (including unlimited services) on other carrier networks ("off-net usage") during any two consecutive months exceed your off-net usage allowance, AT&T may, at its option terminate your service, deny your continued use of other carriers' coverage or change your plan to one imposing usage charges for off-net usage. Your off-net usage allowance is equal to the lesser of 750 minutes or 40% of the Anytime Minutes included with your plan. AT&T will provide notice that it intends to take any of the above actions, and you may terminate the agreement.+

  • Why doesn't the iPhone 4s charge to 100%?

    Why doesn't the iPhone 4s charge to a full 100% when charing over night?

    OK sort of an old thread now but this apparently is a common issue. Restore wont help. I have researched it for the past week (did several months ago too and gave up) but I now have somewhat of a solution to this phenomena. For whatever reason mine seems to stay at 100% most of the night than around 7:00am it would drop to 97% or so within a few minutes. This sorta stopped when iOS 5.1.1 came out. Now it stays at 100% until I unplug it then it drops. What I was doing was each morning when wake up, I unplug then plug back in while I was getting ready for the day and it would go back to 100%. So for the fix. What I have discovered over the past week worked 100% of the time. When go to bed I turn off the phone with the slider. Then plug in charger and let the phone come alive again by itself. But I do not log it in. Just let it sit at the lock screen. Now every morning its at 100% and stays that way for more than an hour (If not used). So it is being fully charged and remaining that way. iPhone will quick charge to 100% by meter but in reality it still needs longer to fully charge. Anyway this process has solved the waking up to less than 100% while still being connected to the charger.

    Why doesn't the iPhone 5 have the call bar feature like the 4S does?

    From the Swype website:
    Why isn’t Swype available for iPhone/iPad/BlackBerry/Windows Phone?
    Due to the technical design of some operating systems, it is not possible for third party keyboards (such as Swype) to be offered at this point in time. Please communicate to your device/OS manufacturer that you’d like to see Swype available as a keyboard option!

    Have you contacted Sprint?  See if they can resolve your issue, if you can't get 3G.

    why doesn't the iphone have flash player?

    Because it *****, has security holes in it and your phone battery life wouldn't be as good as it's today. For starters.....
    Flash is heading in the direction of a dying breed. HTML5 will take it over eventually, once the world buttheads finally come to agree on its final standards.

  • Why won't my Iphone connect to my Macbook Pro?!

    The thing is, I have transfered music for many time over the past year. My Iphone connected to my Macbook and everything, it loaded up iPhoto, iTunes etc. But now when I tried to connect my Iphone to transfer some new music it wouldn't even connect?!?! First I thought that it was the cable, but it wasn't because I can load my phone normally otherwise. Then I checked my USB-ports, but they worked just fine! After that I started to search everywhere for the same problem but all I could find was ''My iphone won't connect to iTunes'' and that was not the problem I had... I restarted both my devices and updated my iTunes on the computer, still nothing works... And now I'm sitting here looking for an solution I probably won't find... So please help me with this problem, I am getting really close to just throw the computer in the wall or something!

    It is not uncommon.. !!
    Go back in and setup wireless again.. let me strongly recommend you use a real utility.. not that toy in ML. See below.
    Change the wireless name/s to SMB standard .. short, no spaces. pure alphanumeric. I recommend fixing the 5ghz to a different name at least whilst you have issues.
    Now lock the wireless channels for 2.4ghz.. try 1, 6, 11 in turn. Keep whichever gives the best speed and range in your environment.
    On the screen shots above I still haven't finished the setup.. wireless security should be set to WPA2 Personal.. and use a pure alphanumeric key.. mix of upper and lower case and numerals.. 8-12 characters is plenty for most.. if you are paranoid add a few more.
    How to load 5.6 into ML.
    1. Download 5.6 for Lion.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
    Click to open the dmg but do not attempt to install the pkg.. it won't work anyway.
    2. Download and install unpkg.
    http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
    Run unpkg on the desktop.. it is very simple.. drag the AirPortUtility56.pkg file over to unpkg.. and it will create a new directory of the same name on the desktop.. drill down.. applications utilities .. there lo and behold is Airport utility 5.6 .. drag it to your main utilities directory or just run it from current location.
    You cannot uninstall 6.1 so don't try.. and you cannot or should not run them both at the same time.. so just ignore the toyland version.. the plastic hammer.. and start using 5.6.. a real tool.
    For screen shots see this post.

  • Why doesn't my iPhone 5,2 (iOS8) want to connect to 2,4 ghz wifi networks anymore?

    Only when I'm next to the wifi router I can connect to a 2,4 ghz network. When I move 1 or 2 meters, the connection just drops out. With 5 ghz network there's no problem at all. How can I figure out if this is a software or hardware problem., and what is a possible solution? My iPhone turned 2 years old recently, so I guess I don't have to count on any warranty or other support?

    Hi,
    MY network at home was originally  set up as a 2.4 ghz network, it worked fine until a week ago. By changing it I noticed my wifi on my iPhone was working again. The problem is however at work for example it's probably also 2.4 ghz. Because I cant connect, only when standing nearby the router. That's why I'm wondering how I can figure this out, is it software, hardware or something else. Tried resetting and restarting. But none of it seemed to solve the problem.

  • Why doesn't the iPhone or iPad connect via bluetooth?

    I try to connect my iPhone to other phones or even other iPhone and it doesn't find any phone,even the iPad.It only says searching and ''Now visible'' but doesn't connects with anything.
    What was the Bluetooth made for, if it doesn't work with own Apple's devices??So,it works with what??

    It works with the things it is designed to work with. i.e. headsets, headphones, speakers, car stereos, other iOS devices for peer to peer apps and computers for internet tethering.
    There are over 20 different Bluetooth profiles - not all are supported by all devices. Apple chose to support the ones here:

  • Why doesn't my iPhone calendar sync with my Mac-neither ICloud or USB connections work.

    My iPhone calendar will not sync with my MacPro either by iCloud or USB connection.

    Let's compare the settings on the Mac, I'm also using iCal on my MacBook Pro OSX10.9.5.
    iCal/Settings/Accounts -> iCloud CalDAV selected and activated, set to "push"
    On the phone:
    Settings/Mail, contacts, calendars: Syncing all events in calendar.
    And in calendar app "iCloud"->"All calendars" selected.
    I have no calendars selected in "On my iPhone"
    Are you also syncing contacts via iCloud? If yes, does it work between the Mac and iPhone?
