    I am using the iphone 3gs and uptaded to ios 6.1.3 but my phone was unable to activate why ? please help.

    What is the exact wording of the error message you received?
    Is there a sim in the iPhone?
    Is the iPhone jailbroken or modified to work with other than the original
    wireless provider?
    Have any of the beta versions of iOS 7 been installed on the iPhone?
    Need more information before someone can offer a solution.

    Hey, as far as I know you need a sim card to activate after a restore
    It however does not have to be a fully working sim card, just not blocked or with a pass code, I repair/refurb. some iPhones and can only advise to try and get a free sim card from a provider supported on your phone and activate it with this,  or maybe someone can lend you theirs for 5 mins?
    To clarify, I have heard there are ways around this, but they sound dubious.

    Most likely your phone is carrier locked to a different carrier than the SIM card you're using.  It will activate and operate only with the carrier to which it's locked.

  • IPhone 3GS and Nike+ Remote problems

    I've been using my Nike+ Sensor and Nike+ Remote watch with the iPhone 3GS and have noted problem. (I also have an 4th Gen Nano which works flawlessly with this kit)
    The fast forward and reverse buttons work to "skip" to the next song or podcast, but have lost the functionality to hold them down a FF through the song or podcast.
    Anyone else have these problems?

    The spoken feedback problem must be a bug. It happens to me sometimes and it can be fixed by either turning the phone off and back on or resetting it.

    Try popping out the SIM card and turn off the phone.
    Pop in the SIM card once again and turn on the phone, make sure that the SIM card is placed and seated perfectly in the tray!
    Tell me how did you unlock your phone!?

  • I have broken my iphone 4. Can I retrieve icloud data using an Iphone 3gs and the same sim?

    My iphone 4 is broken due to water damage.
    I'm considering purchasing a cheap iphone until my upgrade.
    If I bought and iphone 3gs would I be able to retrieve the date from my icloud (contacts etc) for the 3gs?
    Thanks
    Sarah

    To access iCloud all your iPhone needs is iOS 5 or later and an Internet connection, either via cell service or WiFi. Then just set up iCloud with the same Apple ID and password you've been using on your iPhone 4.
    You might want to consider just getting your iPhone 4 replaced by Apple. Based on the prices I've seen for iPhone 3GS units, Apple's replacement price isn't that much more, and you'll be certain of getting a working, non-hacked iPhone.  Apple's replacement price for the iPhone 4 is US $149.

  • I am using an iphone 3Gs and Itunes won't allow me to restore it?!?! help me fix my black screen of death!

    Ok, I am trying to restore my iPhone 3Gs to 5.0.1 and when I do, it looks like it is going well until it says that is it preparing to restore, it keeps me stuck at that spinning bar and then after a while it gives me the error 1601 unknown error has occurred.  I have tried looking on Google for over 3 hours now trying to find the answer to my problem and sadly I cant find one, I am trying to restore my IPhone because earlier I was playing with it and it ran out of battery and I let it change and walked away form it, I came back 1 hour later and it was still at the boot logo of apple, I waited 2 hours and it did nothing, just stayed with the boot logo.  I then put it into DFU mode and it appears in iTunes as in DFU mode and can be restored but like I said above that it just gives me an error.  I have looked into Google and tried every way possible and found out that I may have the black screen of death.  If you have this problem and found a way other than getting a new iPhone, please contact me on this page because I am not in the mood to buy a new iPhone because this one has an expired warranty.
    Also i have tryed all the things in the error support page and nothing works, uninstalled itunes completely and did all that other stuff but still the same problem and i have not found a way to fix this.

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

    I went to the carrier VODAFONE AND THEY CHANGED THEY CHANGED THE SIM TWICE but I have the same problem,

    Any iphone locked to ATT cannot be used with any other sim, unless the phone is jailbroken.  In your case, the advice you got is correct.  You iphone cannot be used unless in the US with an ATT sim.  Apple can do nothing.

  • Apple screw up again sort this problem out.... SIM card not reading in iPad

    Why is it, ever since we all have updated our software everyone's getting trouble with their SIM card? My iPad is not even reading my sim, sort this out, am on a 2 year sim contract and I've gotta pay for it when I can't even use it Bcoz of your mistake

    The phone was originally locked to AT&T in the US and was hacked to allow it to be used on another network. Restoring the phone has re-locked it to AT&T.
    AT&T  does NOT unlock iPhones for any reason. You can't use that phone except on AT&T.
    Sorry. It's useless to you.  Sell it and purchase one you can use.

  • IPhone 3Gs and My Computer problem

    When I hook up my 3Gs to my pc, iTunes recognizes it, it will sync and charge with no issues. But when I open "Computer" it does not show up. Now I can get it to show up, but I have to reinstall the device driver every time.
    Running Win 7 x64 Ultimate.

    What you wrote might have sense but it doesn't explain why it stopped working suddenly. I change the cord for a brand new and I tried different computer with Vista...still have a problem. I don't have any pictures downloaded from email or other devices but I have more then 1000 of them... I would try to put my iphone to a factory settings but it means loosing all my pictures..at least these that i haven't been able to copy to my computer.

  • I use a wifi antenna adapter to receive internet on my boat. I was using mozilla 3.6 and having no problems. With 5 it makes it difficult. I want to go back to 3.6 but where?

    With 3.6 I could easily go into the program to change the internet source I was connected to. With 5, it won't allow me to open the program that I use to do that. I tried to find the download for 3.6 to change back and cannot find it. I called the manufacturer and he said it (the program) doesn't work well with 5 so use internet explorer or download and install 3.6 again.

    I am sorry to hear that the program dosen't work in ff 5. If you tell us what the program is we might be able to help. Any way here is the link to 3.6.16, just select your locale. [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html]
