3.1.3 update has crippled my legally unlocked iPhone.

I bought 3 Apple unlocked iPhones in Australia.
We have been using them on T-Mobile.
The Apple 3.1.3 iPhone update has disabled all internet connectivity.
Can anyone please help?

First of all double check that you have got the right internet settings by going to settings-general-network-cellular data network, if you have ring your carrier to determine the fault is not from their end. if that doesnt work then my advice is to book a genius appontment at your nearest apple store. if your iphone was unlocked officially the new iphone the offer you will be officially unlocked as well (they take your details and authorise your phone to be unlocked) so when next you connect your iphone to your pc you will get that message your iphone has successfully been unlocked.

Question about Legally Unlocked iPhones & Update 'locking'?

Please forgive me if this has been covered before, as I am a totally newbie in this area.
I have a question regarding legally unlocked iphones:
If I bought an iphone from a country that offered legally unlocked cellphones like Singapore for example, and then used it/patched it up for the first time AFTER bringing it back into the US, would this 'lock' the cellphone to only work in the US, or with ATT?
The reason I ask is due to two points: A) I know that certain countries offer cellphones that were never locked to begin with. B) I have read that after installing the latest patch (2.2.1 I think) in the US, iphones that were previously locked and then unlocked, will be re-locked.
So my question is basically this: What would happen in the event that you update a phone that was never locked to begin with? Would it 'lock' for the first time? Or would it remain unlocked still?
Thank you.

Legally unlocked iPhones have to be updated in the country where they were purchased to guarantee they are not relocked...Every country has their own iTunes -- When you connect to iTunes in the US you are connecting with a US ISP address on your computer. You would have a completely different ISP code in a different country.
Wait to update and see what others are finding before you attempt to update in the US. It is completely within Apple's right to relock phones used within the USA.
This is not the right forum site to get updates on this. A google search will bring up non-Apple websites where you will get up to date information about this.

How can I get a legally unlocked iPhone 3G in US?

How can I get a legally unlocked iPhone 3G in US? Where, How, And what is the total price. Thanks!

As has been stated, you cannot purchase an unlocked iPhone in the US. This kbase article indicates whether iPhones sold in particular countries are carrier-locked (in some cases, you can contact the carrier for unlocking).

No. By design, the iPhone will sync or manually manage iTunes content with ONE computer at a time. If you switch computers, all iTunes content will first be erased from your phone, then replaced with the content from the new computer. So, if you want to preserve your iTunes content, you need to copy your entire iTunes library from your old computer to your new computer. This would also include any pictures synced to your phone as well as contacts, calendars, notes and other important data.

HT201328 Can I Update ios7 In My Carrier Unlocked iPhone ?

Can I Update ios7 In My Carrier Unlocked iPhone ?

When iOS 7 is launched, you will be able to upgrade, as iOS 7 will be supported on iPhone 4 and newer. Open Settings > General > Software Update, and you will be able to install it when launched.
iOS updates are launched by Apple and they don't depend on the carrier or device like Android, so iOS 7 will probably be released for all devices at the same time. It will be launched in fall

Need advice if i should upgrade my legally unlocked iphone 3G

Thing is i dont know if he was authorised. And on the box, there was no name of a service provider on the picture of the iphone, usually there is at&t or something, thats why i think its legally unlocked, and the fact that when i plugged it into the computer. Itunes told me to activate it but not full activating with plans, just my itunes account and where i live

Legally unlock iPhone 3G

Hi,
I'd like to know if there's a way to buy an unlocke iphone legally in order to use it in Brazil. I've heard that if we pay an extra fee we can buy it in an Apple store, is it true?
Can I ask an american friend of mine to buy it and then have it transfered to my name?

You can't buy a US phone for use in Brazil. The iPhone is coming soon to your country - http://www.apple.com/br/iphone/ - you just need to be patient for a little longer.

Safari 3.1.1 update has crippled my machine

Not only does Safari 'go to sleep' while it's trying to lad web pages, I can no longer send email attachments with any of the email clients I have. I have another machine on the same router that I did not upgrade (thank goodness) and it still works fine.
I reverted back to Safari 3.0.4 by extracting it from the 10.4.11 upgrade- no improvement. Then I completely re-installed the 10.4.11 upgrade- still no luck.
Since I am apparently looking at a backup restore here to use this machine in any meaningful way again, can anyone give me a COMPLETE list of every single file the Safari 3.1.1 upgrade might have changed or replaced?
Guess I'm on my own here since there seems to be a big river in Egypt over the fact that the Safari 3.1.1 upgrade is seriously flawed.
Thanks.

Hi
while I doubt that the 3.1.1 update is flawed of itself, here's how to get a list of any apple updates files....
First open the Terminal & type
lsbom -p f add a space after the 'f'
( don't press enter yet )
next, in the Finder navigate to HD/Library/Receipts/ & choose the update or install package name you need to find out about.
Ctrl-Click on the package icon & choose 'show package contents'
open the 'contents ' folder & click/drag the 'archive.bom' file to the terminal window ( after you release it, the full file path should be pasted after 'lsbom'
now press Enter in Terminal & you'll get a full list of every file contained in the update/installer.
Lsbom doesn't alter anything, it just outputs a (sometimes very long ) list
note that the '-p f' restricts the list to show only filenames/paths - you can remove it if you want other info - see the manual page for lsbom for how to get specific info.
worth mentioning that some installers contain scripts which make changes to permissions etc or actually modify files directly, in addition to simply replacing those you'll find listed via lsbom.
the actual install package also contains an archive.bom file which can be treated as above - IF you do go the route of manually replacing files, you may also find unPkg and/or Pacifist useful....
bear in mind that an archive/install then relevant updates might be faster/easier for you - or look a little more into what add-ons you{i] might have installed that are incompatible with safari 3.1.1

Latest 12.1.1.4 itune updates has issues with syncing to iPhone 6 Plus

I was one of those folks wary of upgrading to iTunes 12 at first but once I did I actually liked it. I especially liked the fact that my frequent syncing problems seemed to have gone away.
Sadly, these problems came back with 12.1.1.4. For the life of me, the latest iTunes version would not recognize my iPhone 6 Plus or it did but when you tried to apply a sync, it lost visibility of my phone.
In exasperation I tried to get the older version from the Apple Website but for reasons that boggle my mind, they no longer had the 64 bit version of 12.0.1. Only the 32 bit version which would not install on my 64 bit Windows 8 OS.
I was able to find a 64 bit version of 12.0.1 on some other site I found while googling (and this is why I have a virus checker. :-P) and re-installing that worked great. As soon as I ran it, it recognized my iPhone and I could sync like a fiend.
Has anyone come across this issue with 12.1.1.4? I am staying pat with 12.0.1 until Apple fixes the issue.
I know that bugs will happen in software but given the level of importance of syncing ones phone, this really is a feature that needs to be rock solid. Not only that, but the older versions of the software really need to be properly available on the Apple Web site.
Ian

Hello Mirochi,
I am sorry to hear you are having these issues with your iPhone 6 Plus. If you continue to have issues with a looping Trust notification, you may want to try resetting the Lockdown folder, as outlined in the following article:
iTunes: How to reset the Lockdown folder - Apple Support
If you have further issues with your iPhone not being recognized in iTunes, you may find the troubleshooting steps outlined in following article helpful as well:

Help with legally unlocked iphone battery

I called AT&T and cancelled the contract because i wtravelling and they unlocked my iphone 4. After the unlock, i noticed that my iphone's battery drains too fast and a 100% charge hardly lasts for 24 hours. Please I need somebody to help me in this.
Waitng for responds.

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Has any of this been tried?

(Legally) unlocked iphone locks again when in airplane mode

I unlocked my iphone from O2 and it now has a Vodafone payg sim in it which works fine. However - whenever I put it into airplane mode it says 'different sim inserted' and needs activating in itunes again. Any ideas how I can stop this? Matt

I've got the same problem; any time my iPhone is put into flight mode, or if I power it off fully, or if I let the battery drain completely, it needs to be reactivated via iTunes. Inconvenient at home, makes the thing pretty much useless if I'm travelling abroad. I'm using a T-Mobile contract SIM, so it's not Vodaphone, or the fact it's PAYG.

Can't view Cellular Data network on legally unlocked iPhone 3GS

I bought an iphone from Singapore and those phones come as unlock. Now that I am in the States, I was hoping to use my corporate AT&T sim card for data surfing and all. While I am able to make calls, it says that I am not registered for cellular data network. I was able to surf the web using the same SIM on this other HTC phone.
I was hoping to change the APN settings but that appears to be missing. How can I change the settings to that of AT&T?
Thanks!

Do you know the data plan rate your employer is paying for your HTC phone or for whatever phone the data plan is for?
AT&T's enterprise data plan for the iPhone costs $45/mo.
Sounds like you or your employer will need to contact AT&T customer support.

Problem when update ios 6 on factory unlocked iphone 4 s

HELLO after instal IOS 6 the phone UNLOCKED dont read the SIM
There is no SIM card installed in the iPhone you are attempting to activate

Is the SIM operating. Try taking it out and putting in again. Also try with a diffrent iPhone. Are you SURE your iPhone is unlocked? HOW did you unlock it? There is no such thing as a "factory unlock" on the iPhone.
