Well that is likely to be your problem. After the upgrade the phone locked to the orginal carrier. You will need to find out who that was and either use a compatible SIM from that carrier or have that carrier offically unlock the phone

Updated my ipod to iOS 5 but after sync now has 13GB of space taken by "other".

I recently downloaded the iOS 5 and updated my 3rd generation, 32 GB, iPod to this, but after I snyced the iPod, I suddenly have 13.9 GB of space taken up by "other". Before the sync, I had all of that space free.

Thanks for the info, the ipod is in the middle of the restore and everything seems to be back to normal.

I was trying to update my ipod to iOs 5 but I have forgotten the backup password

I was trying to update my ipod to iOs 5 but I have forgotten the backup password help please?

You need to restore your iPod to factory defaults/new iPod. That is the only choise.
Warning: If you encrypt an iPhone backup in iTunes and then forget your password, you will not be able to restore from backup and your data will be unrecoverable. If you forget the password, you can continue to back up and use the device, however you will not be able to restore the encrypted backup to any device without the password. You do not need to enter the password for your backup each time you back up or sync.
If you cannot remember the password and want to start again, you must perform a full software restore and when iTunes prompts you to select the backup from which to restore, choose set up as a new device.

HT201413 I have restored and updated my ipod from recovery mode however I still have the usb cord and itunes icon on the ipod when it is switched on. How can I get my ipod to work again?

I have restored and updated my ipod from recovery mode, however I still have the usb cord and itunes icon on the ipod when it is switched on. How can I get my ipod to work again? I have updated and restored 5 times! When connected to itunes it only shows the summary page saying ipod in recovery mode.

Fixed it!
1. Made sure itunes software was up to date
2. Pressed and held 'home' button and 'on-off' button at the same time for about 10 seconds till ipod reset (I hadn't done this step previously)
3. Connected to itunes
4. Pressed restore and update ipod
Update successful and ipod taken out of recovery mode

While updating my Ipod to ios 5 an unexpcted error occured and now my ipod is not recognized by itunes or my computer and all data has been removed. What can I do

While updating my Ipod to ios 5 an unexpected arror occured before my data was restored and now Itunes will not recognise my Ipod. My Ipod is also not seen as a device in My Computer but asks me to install drivers. What can I do?

- First I would remove and reinstall all the Apple software using the following and then restoring the ipOd.
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
- Next see if manually placing the iPOd in recovery mode will allow a restore. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
- Next try DFU mode:
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- Next try another computer/cable to help determine if you have a computer or iPod problem.
- If the other computer works and yours does not see:

HT4972 Can't update iPad 2 from iOS 4 to iOS 6. Also, can't exit "safe mode"

I have an iPad 2 and I'm still running iOS 4. My iPad is currently in "safe mode" and I have no idea how to fix this. Therefore, when I connect to iTunes, it's not letting me update my iOS version when I'm prompted to update. I try to wipe my iPad and do a reset but the status bar just stays empty for hours and in the end, no results.
Also, there are some apps that my son installed(I was unaware) that are not removable, could this have anything to do with my problems.
Please help!!!

I cant update my iPod to iOS 5 without losing all the songs I've bought from the iPod, how do I update without losing them?

So, I've been trying to update my iPod to iOS 5 because every app I want is requires iOS 5. When I try and update it on the computer it wont let me, it will go for hours saying it's "backing up". I decided I'd try and just restart it, but when I click it, it says that if I continue iTunes will delete any songs that aren't on iTunes library, and the songs I bought from the iPod itself are not on the iPod yet. I don't know what to do. If I don't update the software I wont be able to update any apps, or get new ones, and if I to update I'll loose the songs I've bought. Please help.

How to update new iPod to iOS 5.1 then restore from previous iPod's backup

If I want to restore my 'new' (refurbished) iPod from a back up of my old one, I need to get iOS5.1 on this one.
I can't restore it right now because I don't have the computer it's synced with, and I was planning on getting iOS 5.1.1 on my old one before it broke.
This is what I think I should do (when I have the right computer):
Update software to iOS 5.1
Restore from backup.
Update software to iOS 5.1.1
right?
The only thing is, I will have to set up my new iPod 'as new iPod' to update the software because the option isnt there until your iPod is set up in iTunes (keep in mind, I'm not using the computer with the iTunes I will be syncing it with for the rest of its life). Will this change anything?
And should I wait to do all this until I'm on the computer with the normal iTunes I'll be using, or does it not matter because I was planning on restoring it anyways?
Pleaaasee hellppp!

I don't have my old iPod, just the refurbished one, but I backed up my previous one beforehand when it was connected to my computer.
On my new one, I need to update it to iOS 5.1 to to be able to restore it from a backup of my old iPod because that's they system the old one was using, and I also want to update it to iOS 5.1.1, which I can't do right away or I still won't be able to restore it. I figured I would have to:
1. Update Software of new iPod to iOS 5.1
2. Restore new iPod from backup of old one.
3. Update software to iOS 5.1.1
Am I right?

Disable your firewall and antivirus software, restart your iPad, quit iTunes, restart your computer and then try to update again.
