i have restored my iphone 3gs and put my sim card in it but it will no longer activate. my power button is broken so i cannot turn it off. what can i do to fix this??
Then the SIM may have failed. Try removing and re-inserting it. If that doesn't fix it, you will have to get the SIM replaced by your carrier.

Hey BurnOff.int,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities, and thanks for the question. There's an article that goes over troubleshooting steps if your can't hear sound from your iPhone 3GS speaker. Check it out here:

I have an unlocked iphone 3gs how do i upgrade without losing my unlocked status without having to pay to unlock it again.
Updating and restoring does not lock, but if you have a jailbreak (not AppleSoftware) and you return to Apple Software then it will lock. After all Apple has to keep to the law. It is even possible, that the jailbreak software makes it impossible to install Apple Software again and your iPhone will be inoperable after you try the update.
So If you officially unlocked you are fine and if you had a jailbreak, there is nothing an Apple forum can do for you. -

If not it sounds like the phone was hacked to unlocked and when you updated the phone it locked backed up again. -
Was updating to 5.0.1 on iphone 3gs and now it wont recongize sim card
I was updating at iphone 3gs (8gig) to 5.0.1 after it was turned off and it restarted. it no longer recongized the sim card. What can I do now?
It was not. I bought i a few months ago for my fatherinlaw and I have only put some apps on it before trying to updated the iOS to 5.0.1. It was working fine before but once it restarted from updating to 5.0.1 it is now in a base mode of asking what language, turn on location services and for it to go on wifi. but when I attach it by wire to itunes it says the sim card is not installed.

I haven't been able to update my phone to the latest version of iOS because i dont have enough room on my phone and i cant erase the pics from my photostream except for on itunes and its driving me crazy
Looks like a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is required...
Be sure to make an appointment first... -
i dont know what to do
Did you delete the files from your computer?
BTW, you've posted in the iTunes Match forum. Is your question related to that service? -
I have restored my iphone 3gs after having only the apple logo, it took me through all the restore, a page saying 'congrats your phone is now unlocked', and allowed me to chose to set up from new or back up....yet still displays only the apple logo.

I just restored my iphone 3gs and lost 1 month of photos and phone calls
Help! I just restored my iphone 3gs and lost 1 month of work photos and contacts. Please help me get them back!
How old was the backup? If you restored from a one-month-old backup, then yes, one month's data would be missing and cannot be restored unless you have a newer backup.

I have an older iPhone (3gs) and need to upgrade to a newer phone (4S). I need to get my NOTES, CALENDAR, CONTACTS, PICTURES, etc backed up on iTunes so I can get that data loaded onto the new phone. But not sure how to do that. When I open iTunes it has a button that say "Back Up iPhone", but I'm not sure what that does. When I go into the sync options it say I have another user account and asks me if I want to merge of replace. I'm assuming it's trying to tell me I have an older iTunes Library, but don't know that. Geez, maybe people over 60 shouldn't have iPhones, iTunes just bafles me.

I had to restore my iPhone 4 and now all my pictures are gone. I don't have them backed up to my laptop, and I thought that they automatically backed up to iCloud but I'm not sure. I had a lot of pictures that i desperately want to get back PLEASE HELP
You should be importing pics to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera. Nothing should only be on your iphone. You should keep everything on your computer.
If you have failed to do this, then they are gone.
You can try restoring from backup. -
I've done restoring my iphone 3gs and still stuck on cannot activate and contact customer service. What shall i do? any help please.
99.9% of the time, the cause of this issue is the fact the phone was jailbroken/hacked to unlock it for use on networks other than the network the phone was originally locked to. Apple maintains a database of officially unlocked iPhones, and when Apple's servers detect phones such as yours, activation stops & you get the message you got.
So, either get a sim card from the carrier your phone was originally locked to, or get it officially unlocked, if you want to activate it. Because it appears that it was not officially unlocked.
