After upgrade to ios 5, my 3GS says unsupported SIM, what should I do:-(?please help.thanks

after I back up my datas through Itunes, I have an option to upgrade my software to ios 5, so I click on the upgrade button, wait til 20 minutes, and then my iphone starting restart and end up saying unsupported SIM. tried few times to turn my phone off and on but the result was the same, with the starting setting up language and ciuntry region, and then the wifi setting, but still unsupported SIM, what should I do, anyone can explain what's happening with my phone???thanks.

Was the device officially unlocked at some point or hacked to be unlocked?
Is the SIM from a supported carrier?
Sounds like the device was hacked to be unlocked and you're now trying to activate it with a SIM from a different carrier.  If it was hacked to be unlocked, upgrading has relocked the device to the original carrier.
Have you tried a different SIM from the carrier the device is locked to.

    If a restore did not fix it, you have a hardware issue--possible bad wi-fi radio.

    Did you check your security software (firewall)?
    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process.

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

    Try  these troubleshooting steps.
    If that Article did not resolve it... then perhaps a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is required..
    Be sure to make an appointment first...
    Note:
    That error message may be indicative of the Device being Hacked / jailbroken.... If this is the case then you are on your own.

  • After upgrading to iOS5 all the pictures in my camera roll are gone. Please help.

    I synced my phone through itunes prior to upgrading to iOS5. Then the upgrade also backed up the phone. Upon the upgrade completing I was browsing through my phone and noticed that all the photos that were in my camera roll are nowhere to be found. Can anyone help me?

    I have the same problem. I bought an iPod Touch 4G 64GB last June. After upgrading to the new iOS 5, most of my pictures, apps and music is gone. Every time I try and recover my backup the system crashes. I tried to call their technical support to restolve the problem but I was told that I had to pay $29 to solve the problem that they created. This is a disgrace.
    People are saying restore the iPod but with mine that didn't help.

  • No audio or sound from my ipad mini after update or any apps used? What should i do please help?

    my problem is i can't hear the sounds from my ipad especially when i am playing a music or video from youtube or any game up. This happen after an update? I thought it was just an auto silent mode but unfortunately the volume limit is on full and there is no head phones attached. Please help me enable the sounds of my ipad.

    Is it all browsers that you are having problems with, or is just Safari (and I assume that your last post means that other apps are ok) ?
    If only Safari then try clearing its cache : Settings > Safari > Clear History And Website Data (Clear Cookies And Data on iOS 5, 6, 7 and also Clear History)
    Close Safari via the iPad's taskbar (I'm assuming that your iPad is on iOS 7+) : double-click the home button to open the taskbar and then swipe or drag the Safari app's 'screen' up and off the top of the screen to close it, and click the home button to close the taskbar.
    And do a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    And then retry playing the videos.

  • Putting video clips (mov) in to edit work place time line after photos (jpeg) getting error message, the importer reported a generic error. ? please help thanks

    premier elements12, putting video clips (mov) in to edit work place time line after photos (jpeg) error message, the importer reported a generic error. ? please help.

    TINA54
    Thanks for the reply.
    Some general comments...
    Regarding:
    THERE ANY WAY I CAN PUT MULTIPLE RANDUM TRANSITIONS IN TO THE TIME LINE WITH JUST ONE CLICK ? .
    There is no transition choice for random transitions across the Premiere Elements 12 workspace Timeline. But, the Elements Organizer 12/Create Menu/Slideshow and its Slideshow Editor does have that random transition choice. So, one possibilitity would be to create your slideshow in Elements Organizer 12 Slideshow Editor and then move the slideshow into Premiere Elements with the Output of Edit with Premiere Elements Editor command.
    Pending more details of the slideshow you are creating, I think that you would get your best photo quality and overall results staying with Premiere Elements 12 workspace (1080p) project and the transitions randomized manually.
    perhaps applying the default to all (all at the same time),
    using Timeline Menu/Apply Default Transition,
    and then replacing transitions randomly for the random transition look).
    Please let us know if any of that worked for you.
    Thanks.

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
