HT3960 My iPhone will not update. it keeps asking me to restore but then says there's an internal error -1. At first it wouldn't update saying there was no SIM Card. This was a used phone that i had the SIM Card replaced

Got a used iPhone4 to replace my lost one, had the screen replaced and then had the SIM card replaced by Best Buy.
They had issues in the store connecting to iTunes but the Geek Squad where they wiped it and said all was good.
Got home to update it and all was good up to the point where i needed to have the phone to work.
Then it wouldn't recognize there was a SIM card and to restore my phone.
it comes up now with unable to restore, unknown error -1
Help please

Perhaps try the Error 1 or -1 advice from the following document:
iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting

    Telegraph subscription will not download. Keeps asking me to purchase again.

    Okay, well the question now is - what exactly has he sent you?
    Is it a link to a website, where you can download the album that he has purchased for you, as a gift? I would expect instructions to be provided to you, telling you what to do. (Note, a link to a digital album, or album. Not a CD.)
    If he did the above, where did he purchase this album? (If "it" asks you to download iTunes, that suggests that it was the iTunes Store.)
    Did he simply try and send you songs he has in his iTunes Library, that he purchased on his account, for his Library (not yours)?

  • My sons iphone will not come on unless plugged into wall charger. even then wont work

    my sons iphone will not come on unless plugged into the wall charger. even then when the screen finally comes on it has the wrong date and just says searching. wont do anything.

    What troubleshooting have you tried? Try a reset, hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone should reboot. If it does not, then you need to try and restore via iTunes. Try connecting the phone to the computer and iTunes and see if it is recognized. If not, you will have to force it into Recovery mode and restore. See this support document for that help. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See:
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • IPhone will not turn off.

    My iPhone will not turn off. I did a restore about a week ago to repair the problem following which the phone would turn off albeit with some difficulty: I had to hold the top button down and not merely click it before the phone turned off but not so long that I would get the shut-down screen.
    Now, however, even after doing another restore, the iPhone will simply not turn off, no matter how long I hold down the top button. Nor do I ever get the shut-down screen. I've had to turn on the auto-lock option so that while I'm carrying the phone around it does not randomly dial or go online.
    I'm guessing this might be a hardware failure but wanted to check first to see if anyone else has run into this problem.

    If it's doing that after a restore, it more than likely issue on your logic board. I would contact Apple and get it serviced.

  • My iphone 4s will not play music on dock or car adaptor, but will charge.  It seems to have started after last upgrade.

    My iphone will not play music on dock or car adaptor, but will charge. It seems to have started after the last upgrade.

    Slight water damage on electronic equipment is like being slightly pregnant
    It either is or it isn't and your iPhone is water damaged
    Since you that turned it on prior to drying it the damage is done now
    Take to Apple and pay for a replacement

    Most likely the phone is locked to a carrier that you haven't tried yet.

  • All of a sudden this morning my iphone will not send imessages from my phone number but only from my email address. When I go to the settings for my imessages to choose where they are coming from my phone number is greyed out....Is there a way to fix this

    All of a sudden this morning my iphone will not send imessages from my phone....

    Hi Chas869,
    Hmm, that is strange that your phone number is greyed out. There are a few things that we can try. First would be to turn iMessages off, then back on. See if you are able to select your phone number. Then if that doesn't work, turn iMessages back off, then reset the network settings....settings>general>reset>reset network settings, this will reboot the phone. Don't worry, it won't delete anything from the phone, it simulates a battery pull. Once the device comes back on, then turn iMessages back on. Keep us posted if that works!
