I recently updated the itunes software and now my iphone wont detect the sim card! what do i do?

I recently got my iphone unlocked because i wanted to change my carrier. today when i connected my iphone to the itunes it started updating the software! all my previous data was erased and now it wont detect the sim card! what do i do?

Updating iTunes has nothing to do with an iDevice going into recovery mode.
If the device is in recovery mode, restore it via iTunes on a computer.

Updated my iphone 3gs to the 5 ios and now my phone wont read my sim card when i reacticate it

updated my iphone 3gs to the 5 ios and now my phone wont read my sim card when i reactivate it.
Every time i connect it to itunes all it says is "There is no SIM card installed in the iphone you are attempting to activate." Even thought there is a sim card connected in my phone.

Is the SIM from a supported carrier?
Is the device carrier locked, officially unlocked, or hacked to be unlocked?
Has the SIM been reseated? If not, try that.
Also, basic troubleshooting is reset, restart, restore. Has any of that been tried?

HT4528 I recently downloaded the newest software and now my Iphone 4s shows the location services Icon is on all the time. How can I change this back to what we originally had or is there a fix for this?

When I downloaded the most recent software update the location services Icon showed up even thought I was not running any programs. Is this something new and is it going to drain my battery? This was not happening before the download. I am told I have to just turn off the location services biut I do use them on a daily basis and it seems to be a pain to have to shut if off everytime. Does anyone know how to fix this or am I just screwed until I upgrade the phone?

Hi Avahhava,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
As a first step, I would suggest restarting and/or resetting the iPhone:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
If you have tried those two things, refer to page 146 in the iPhone User Guide to Reset All Settings:

I updated my iTunes Software and now I cant burn CD's anymore.

I need help. I updated my iTunes Software and now I get this:
"The Registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes"
Disc Burner: No Disc Recording software found.
I just reinstalled iTunes when they changed the entire format about a month ago. And I have had Nero for my burning CDs/DVDs for years.

If the above doesn’t do the trick entirely, then use the instructions in the following as it applies to the version of Windows you are using:
HT1925: Removing and Reinstalling iTunes for Windows XP

My iphone 4 - recently updated to new iOS5 and now i cannot make or recieve calls/texts. what do i do! im dying!

I ALSO CANNOT GET MY IPHONE TO SYNC NOW, KEEPS CANCELLING SYNC, AND IM NOT CANCELLING IT OR ACCESSING MY PHONE WHEN IT DOES IT.
Help me!

It is sounding like there IS no help for any of us. It also appears that our problems with the upgrade are not consistent. You cannot make calls/texts. Troyfromencinitas has lost his texts. I lost all of my music and cannot get iTunes to sync my phone (it self cancels after step 6) to get it all back. The upgrade also rendered all of my apps useless (they'd come up for a flash and then revert to the home screen again).
I went through support last night and - as Troy-from-Encinitas said - you cannot return to the OS before your upgrade and everything I was told to do did NOT work to restore sync ability. The last suggestion was to uninstall iTunes and reinstall. If I do this, I lose the organization of 14G of music and ALL of my playlists. So, he suggested instead that I erase all of my apps from iTunes and redownload them from the iTunes store. Since they were closing in 15 mins and the download was going to take a while, he suggested I get ahold of them again this morning if his idea didn't work. It didn't. I ended up just downloading them from my phone so I can at least have my Kindle back.
Now, there is no way to get ahold of anyone today so have made a call appt for tomorrow morning to try again. I am WICKED ****** about this but there doesn't seem to be anything I can do about it short of buying a new NON APPLE device. ARE YOU LISTENING APPLE?? iOS 5 is rendering Apple devices USELESS!! Sigh.

I downloaded the most recent update to Itunes yesterday and now I can't play any music. It just sits still. The play button is pushed but nothing will play. Any help?

So frustrating!!! Nothing will play since the update. I've also tried to import CD's and I can't tell if that even worked.
I'm not happy with this update!!

PLUS I'm also having issues syncing with my iphone!! Nothing transfers over.

I recently updated my MacBook Pro to the new software, and now my iMessage and my FaceTime are not connected with my computer. How do I get them to match so that I would be able to use my cellphone number?

I recently updated my MacBook Pro to the new software, and now my iMessage and my FaceTime are not connected with my phone number like it is supposed to be. How do I get them to match so that I would be able to use my cellphone number on my notebook?

To reset any OS X program just go to the folder and trash the affected files.
Open a new Finder Window
Click "Go" in the above status bar
Click and HOLD the "option/alt" key and you will see "Library" now show in the above list
Click Library while still holding the option/alt key and a new window will open with all of your system files
Go to the preference file (NOT Preference Panes)
Locate a file named <com.apple.FaceTime.bag.plist>
Locate another file named <com.apple.FaceTime.plist>
Locate the file <com.apple.iMessage.bag.plist>
Drag the files to the trash
Delete the trash
Close FaceTime and iMessage if not already closed
Relaunch FaceTime and iMessage from Applications folder
This should reset the program back to default. You will have to put your information back into the program but it should work.
Good Luck.

I updated my iPod/iTunes software and now I can't get it to shuffle songs in a playlist; it either shuffles albums in a playlist or songs on the whole iPod

I updated my iPod/iTunes software and now I can't get it to shuffle songs in a playlist; it either shuffles albums in a playlist or songs on the whole iPod, neither of which is what I want to do. How do I get it to shuffle songs in just one playlist?

The shuffle setting in the main menu will shuffle through the entire library as you have found out.
You need to go to settings>shuffle this will toggle through off/song/album. Once you have set this it will stay the same until you change the setting.
Now when you start playing a song in a playlist the iPod will shuffle through that playlist (or if you select your song through artist then it will shuffle through all the songs for that artist etc)

IPhone 4 - tried updating with new software and now it's asking me to plug it to iTunes. The problem is that my laptop is dead. Is there anything I can do now? Thank you for help!

iPhone 4 - tried updating with new software and now it's asking me to plug it to iTunes. The problem is that my laptop is dead. Is there anything I can do now?
I Don't know if I can turn it of or do I just leave it and take it to service?
I'd appreciate some advice!

Same thing happened here ~ tech guy at a local authorized Apple repair store said it had something to do with improper backup from which the restore would be made. Still have a phone that asks to be connected to Itunes but won't do anything else . . . frustrated.

I updated my computer to the new software and now the iPhoto has a circle with a line through it. When I try to update, it pops up to say "These apps cannot be accepted by your apple id". Then will say "update unavailable with this apple id" how do i fix

I updated my computer to the new software and now the iPhoto has a circle with a line through it. When I first try to open it the pop us says: "You can't use this version of the application "iPhoto" with this version of OS X. Version: 9.2.1" When I try to update, it pops up to say "These apps cannot be accepted by your apple id - These apps were already assigned to another Apple ID and they will be available in that Apple ID's purchases list. If you don't have access to that Apple ID and want to receive future updates, you will need to purchase the application". I checked and there is nothing under the "purchases" in my App store. Then will say "update unavailable with this apple id - This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or canceled." Then the third pop up says "We could not complete your request. There was an error in the App Store. Please try again". Just want to know how do to fix.

After I upgraded to Mavericks I was also having this message when I tried to update. There was a previous post about this problem which offered this simple solution which worked for me:

Got it! Thanx. What I did was go to my account, check that they had my new ID and Password which they did, then hit reset button. All fixed.

I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.

The older version of Apple Software Update cannot be removed. Contact your technical support group. I was update the iTunes software and it gave me that message. I ended up without iTunes and not I can't download info for my iPad.

I tried to update my iTunes software for my iPad. I got the above message. iTunes did not install and now I no longer had iTunes at all. I can't update my iPad software without it.
I have tried Revo, CCleaner, COMODO, "find" in Regedit. Nothing finds anything related to Apple Software Update.

okay, download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility and use it to remove the installation configuration information for your Apple Software Update:
Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
reboot the PC after using CleanUp. any joy with the itunes install now?
