HT4623 When connecting my iphone to my computer, message appears: iphone cannot be used because itunes needs to be updated. I updated on my Mac, but it isn't transferring to my phone. Tried looking at software updates on my phone - "no updates needed"

Okay, that means with the latest iOS software, it requires the latest version of iTunes on the computer. Which computer OS platform are you using. Now you are saying that after downloading the latest version of iTunes that your iPhone is not being recognized by iTunes? Completely different thing, and the iTunes on the iPhone has nothing to do with that anyway. The iTunes on the iPhone is just for purchases.
If you are having trouble with the iPhone being recognized by iTunes, use the appropriate link for your computer OS for assistance.

I got locked out of my iphone and it says i had to connect to itunes but how do i fix it now

i got locked out of my iphone and it said i had to come to itunes to fix this and now i cant figure out how to reenable my iphone can anybody help me?

Start iTunes on the computer you used to setup/backup the iPhone, connect the USB end of the cable to the computer, then while holding the home button on the iPhone connect the dock connector end to the iPhone. That will put you in recovery mode and iTunes should see the iPhone. Then proceed to restore from backup as that will remove the passcode and allow you to access the iPhone.

I have iphone 3gs. I upgraded its software through itunes but it stopped reading sim. Then I restored but since then iphone is locked with message to insert a carrier compatible sim. I've checked my sim is ok. How to restore the iphone?

I'm going to make some guesses here. You bought your phone second hand. In other words, not from Apple and not from your carrier. What you got is a hacked phone that was originally carrier locked, most likely to AT&T in the US. You are NOT in the US. (If I get any of this wrong, please tell me).
What has happened is when you updated the software, it was re-locked to the original carrier. ONLY the carrier can authorize an unlock. If it is locked to AT&T, you're out of luck as they WILL NOT unlock an iPhone for any reason.
If it's locked to another carrier, you will have to find out what carrier that is (you can NOT tell by looking at the model number) and find out if they unlock iPhones. If you can't find out, or if they do not, then your only real option is to sell the phone and purchase one from a LEGITIMATE source.

I've lost my iphone with passcode lock and find my iphone lock on but the wifi n cellular data was turned off so no way i can trace it so the only question remains is will the person who finds it be able to unlock it and use it as his own ?

is it possible to change imei number?
i've tried for so many times n still the phone is offline so i've set it to offline mode with my message but it never shows the last location why?

If the device is found, nobody can use it without knowing your Apple ID and password.
The phone will only show it's location if it is connected to cellular network or Wi-Fi. If those options are switched off, you can't locate the phone.
With iOS 7, Find My iPhone includes a new feature called Activation Lock, which is designed to prevent anyone else from using your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch if you ever lose it. It starts working the moment you turn on Find My iPhone in iOS 7. With Activation Lock, your Apple ID and password will be required before anyone can:
Turn off Find My iPhone on your device
Erase your device
Reactivate and use your device
This can help you keep your device secure, even if it is in the wrong hands, and can improve your chances of recovering it. Even if you erase your device remotely, Activation Lock can continue to deter anyone from reactivating your device without your permission. All you need to do is keep Find My iPhone turned on, andremember your Apple ID and password.
What steps should I take if I misplace my device?
If you ever misplace your device—whether it’s just lost or you think it may have been stolen—you should put it into Lost Mode immediately using Find My iPhone.
Lost Mode locks your screen with a four-digit passcode and lets you display a custom message with your phone number to help you get it back. You can also remotely erase your device if needed, and your custom message will continue to display even after the device is erased.
While Activation Lock works in the background to make it more difficult for someone to use or sell your missing device, Lost Mode clearly indicates to anyone who finds your device that it still belongs to you and can’t be reactivated without your password.
To put a device into Lost Mode, sign in to icloud.com/find from a Mac or PC or use the Find My iPhone iOS app.
For more information, read what to do if your device is lost or stolen.

HT1349 iphone is locked and disabled

My iphone is locked and disabled

Hello,
I am contacting you because my iPhone won't activate. Recently I traveled to UK (London) and I bought myself an iPhone 4 from a pawnshop. They said that the phone was used with 02 carrier. I got home (Bulgaria) and tried to start the iPhone but the only thing that shows is:
"Only compatible SIM cards from a supported carrier may be used to activate iPhone. Please insert the SIM card that came with your iPhone or visit a supported carrier's store to recieve a replacement SIM card".
I don't have that option and I really don't know what to do. I would be really happy if you could help me find a solution.
Thanks,
Best regards

TS3988 my ipad got locked and now disabled since I got the latest download

my ipad got locked and disabled after the latest download from itunes...asked for a passcode which I did not oyt in yet...

If it is disabled from entering the wrong passcode too many times, you'll have to restore it to remove the passcode. If you are using iOS 7 with Find My iPhone enabled, you will have to force it into recovery mode in order to restore it, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808.

My iPhone got locked while updating to IOS via my laptop. How can I restart my phone

My iPhone got locked while updating to IOS via my laptop. How can I restart my pihone?

Thank you Roger Wilmut. I am grateful for your response.
I bought the iPhone new and set up by myself. I still remember apple id details. The problem is that while the update was on, I needed to enter my apple id on the phone to complete the update my screen lock has been activated. Now the phone only displays the iTunes logo and the USB cable being inserted. But I can still access my the phone contents through my laptop. I need to force the phone to restart. How can I do that? mind you I have pressed the home and power buttons together for a couple of minutes. It will only display the apple logo for a few seconds and then return to the iTunes and USB cable display. Maybe the phone is hanging. So please help me.
Thank you very much

IPhone got stolen and found again

Hi!
So recently, my iPhone got stolen, and the theif wiped all the data and information and put his icloud information (io7) on it, the police found the phone and handed it over but then his information is on the phone and i can't get past activation, so my question is, how do I get past it?
Do I ask the police for a report and go to Apple? Because I heard apple dosen't do it?
Or can I use some software to do it?
Thank You!

If you are trying to activate an iPad or iPhone and it is asking for a previous Apple ID and password, you have encountered the Activation Lock. This is a security feature that prevents thieves from setting up and using a stolen or lost iPad or iPhone. Unfortunately this has sort of worked in reverse for you. You have no alternative. No must get the Apple ID and password the thief used in order to use the device. If the thief will not provide this info you will never be able to activate the device and no one can help you do it.

If you don't have Find My iPhone on, you can't lock it. You should report it to your carrier and your carrier might blacklist the phone from use.

I had my iphone 4 locked to vodafone uk carrier. I connected the phone to itunes on my pc and tried to update the version to ios 6 through itunes. But it has been locked and asks for sim of previous carrier. how can i return to previous state?

You cannot return to previous state. The update re-locked the iPhone
to the original carrier. You must contact the original carrier to see if
they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>Carrier?
Be advised that if your iPhone had previously been hacked/modified/
jailbroken to work with other than original carrier, it may be impossible
for the original carrier to unlock it properly.

You can restore the phone.
Turn the phone off.
Once the phone is off, hold the home button and don't let go.
Press the power button while still holding the home button.
You should see 'Connect to Itunes' on the screen.
