I updated my iPhone 3G today and after the update it said on iTunes that my sim was not compatible and my iPhone screen went on to slide for emergency/connect to itunes. Ive tried restoring it but it hasnt worked. Please help!

Unless the iPhone was purchased  as unlocked very recently directly from an Apple Store (the only place in the US where unlocked iPhones are sold, and then only since June), which from the symptoms I doubt is the case, then it was locked to AT&T and jailbroken to make it work with an Irish cell carrier. Updating the operating system has now relocked the iPhone back to AT&T.
Only the cell carrier can institute an official unlock, one which will hold across updates of the operating system, and AT&T will not do so for any reason. All we can advise here is that you return the iPhone to your uncle and purchase an iPhone there in Ireland.
Regards.

  • I was updating my ipod and i lost wifi, so i turned off my ipod, and when i tried to turn it on it went to the normal apple logo then flashed and went to a pink screen. Ive tried restoring it, but it hasnt worked. PLEASE HELP

    So i was updating my ipod earlier yesterday, i kinda steal wifi from the neighbors so it was pretty weak.... i lost wifi (i think) because it stopped loading, so i turned off my ipod. And when i tried turning it on again it did the apple logo then went to a full out pink screen. Ive tried turning it back on and off a billion times, and sometimes the screen colors will change. I recently just tried restoring it like 10 times and usually itll just interenwrupt the restoring process. By the way, wh i plug it into the computer it doesnt recognize the device. I had to put it into recovery mode. Pleasehelp, this ipotd is my life. I cant take it to the apple store because its badly cracked, and ive had it for about 2 y and a half years. PLease help.

    Hi-
    I had the same thing happen to me Thursday night, and I just got mine right 30 minutes ago (and it is now Saturday am). Like you I repeatedly tried to restore it (by holding down the home key and powere button at the same time; then plugging it up to my computer and trying to get it to restore through iTunes). My computer didn't initially recognize my ipod either. - One thing- be sure that your battery isn't dead/dying. If it is, charge it (it should charge-mine did), then start the process of restoring it again. Make sure when you hold the home and power keys down that you are linked to iTunes.- You will eventually get a screen that has the itunes icon it, with a usb cable underneath it. At that point your computer will recognize your ipod, and you'll be able to restore it...This will take a LONG time.- Good luck.

  • I installed Snow Leopard on my white Macbook 4,1 and purchased the Mountain Lion to upgrade again. Now it says not compatible and won't load. Required specs on my laptop seemed fine but? Any ideas what to try?

    I ordered Snow Leopard and received the disk from Apple. It loaded fine in my white Macbook 4 ,1 that has 4GB memory, Intel Core 2 Duo, 2.1 GHZ processor and L2Cache 3mb. Decided to upgrade once more to Mountain Lion (skipped Lion) and purchased the download directly from Apple. This morning I downloaded and when it went to install a screen appeared stating my laptop wasn't compatible. From what I had researched before purchasing Mountain Lion it seemed this laptop was fine. Do I need to purchase LION before trying to install Mountain Lion? Otherwise what could be wrong? Any help appreciated. Thanks!

    1. If desired, go to the online Apple Store and ask for a refund.
    2. Click here and see the lists of new and dropped features.

    It sounds like it is time to restore from the backups you made just before making the disk changes.
    You can re-partition and restore your backups.  If you didn't make backups first (you were warned that it might damage things and to make sure you had a good backup) then you will need to repartition everything and reinstall from scratch...

    When I try to add apps it doesn't do anything. I have connected to the computer to iTunes and it isn't syncing any of my apps to the iPad. I am not sure what else to try? I have turned the iPad off and restarted and nothing changed. I tried to download something from iTunes on the iPad and it isn't letting me.

    Paypal never sends messages like that. It sounds like a phishing attempt. Go ahead and delete the message, but report it to Paypal so that they can take investigate.

  • No internet connection after downloadind 5.0 and it told me that my computer is not compatible and needs to be fixed . how?

    I don't know a whole lot about computers,so i will try my best. My computer showed the update for the new 5.0 firefox , so I clicked to download the new version and it showed me that certain things were not compatible and they would need to fixed. So, I downloaded the new version and I do not get internet and not sure what to do. Help!

    As all of the msuic came from your computer in the first place it should still be there.  Is it not?
    EVERYTHING on your ipod should also be on your computer and should be included in your regular backup copy of your computer.
    Make sure that everything is on your computer.  You can transfer itunes purchases from the ipod.  Without syncing:  File>Transfer Purchases.
    When everything is on your computer, then it can be synced back to the ipod after updating.

    There have been a few reports on here where Corsair RAM seems to have caused users a lot of grief with crashes.
    The recommendation on here, mostly, is to only buy RAM from macsales.com or crucial.com as they guarantee their modules will work and offer a no quibble lifetime guarantee.
    I'd put the original RAM back in, return the Corsair chips for a refund and re-order from one of those two companies.

    If Join was on then your home wi-fi must be set to Non-Broadcast.  If you did not set this up (maybe your provider did) then you will need to find the Network Name they used, and any password they used.  The SSID is Security Set ID and to see more try http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SSID .  Basically it is the name used to identify your router/network.  A lot of times the installer will leave it set as LinkSys, or Broadcom or whatever the manufacturer set it as for default.  Your best bet is to get whoever installed it to walk you through how they set it up, giving you id's and passwords so you can get in.  HOWEVER, if you are not comfortable with this (if you set security wrong, etc.) you would be well ahead of the game to hire a local computer tech (networking) to get this working for you.  You can also contact the vendor of your router and get help (if it is still in warranty), or at least get copies of the manuals as pdf files.  Sorry I can't give you more help, I hope this gives you an idea where to go from here to find more.
