HT1848 apps wont install in my iphone because of outdated software what to do

apps not installing because of outdated software

I am having the exact same issue and am freaking out!
I am an activated original US EDGE 8GB iPhone user and am traveling in the UK. I had been using the phone on wifi-only Airplane Mode this week with no problems.
Just updated my mac to iTunes 8; then updated the iPhone to iPhone 2.1 (or so I thought). But before the iPhone software update cycle completed, the same "no SIM" pop-up error message the OP saw displays in iTunes. Then, on the phone, I see the same "Connect to iTunes" message.
The only options I see on the iPhone are clicking an "info" button (which gives me an IMEI number and "ICCID: Unknown" info), or making an emergency call (which wouldn't work anyway since I am still in airplane mode. But I can't find any option now on the bricked phone to turn off airplane mode. Rebooting doesn't help. Haven't removed/reinserted the SIM yet but I'm sure that won't help me just as it didn't help the OP.
Is there any way for me to get out of this? I need to use the phone today (urgently) and can't take it back to the US for service for another week?!

  • ITunes can not sync apps to the iPhone because it can not be determined which apps are installed on the iPhone.

    Hello.
    I get this error message
    iTunes can not sync apps to the iPhone because it can not be determined which apps are installed on the iPhone.
    iTunes kann keine Apps mit dem iPhone synchronisieren weil nicht festgestellt werden kann welche Apps auf dem iPhone installiert sind.
    Need Help

    Basic troubleshooting is reset, restart, restore.  Have the first two been tried?
    How about simply unplugging the iPhone and plugging it back in to sync?
    What has been done in an attempt to troubleshoot the issue?

  • The application was not installed on the iphone because it requires a newer version of iphone software

    Hi , I Have An Iphone 2G , Its Old I Know But I Need It , So When I Sync Any Application Like Talking Tom/Chrome/Facebook/Angry Birds I Got A Msg the application was not installed on the iphone because it requires a newer version of iphone software , My Firmware Is 3.1.3 (7E18) Which Is Last For 2G , And Last Update For Itunes , But There Is a Application Called Recored Video Worked And Synced Successfully !
    Please Help...

    If the developer of the app has updated it so that it requires a later version of iOS, there is nothing to be done. Review the requirements for the app in the App Store.
    Helpful hint: Title case (capitalizing every word in a sentence) is harder to read than standard capitalization (just the first word of a properly punctuated sentence). Some people won't read posts at all if there doesn't seem to be at least an attempt at standard grammar, spelling, punctuation and usage.
    Best of luck.

  • HT1386 The laptop I originally synch'd my iphone 4s with is broken and cannot retrieve any files. How can I sync the phone with a new laptop without losing all my downloaded music and apps already installed on my iphone?

    The laptop I originally synch'd my iphone 4s with is broken and cannot retrieve any files. How can I sync the phone with a new laptop without losing all my downloaded music and apps already installed on my iphone?

    If the answer to the above question is "yes", FIRST, set up a backup of your new computer before you do anything else so the next time your computer breaks you will not be in the same situation. Backup solutions are numerous and inexpensive, and there is absolutely no excuse in the Third Millennium not to have one.
    Then see this tip: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

  • The apps wont install in my ipod touch 5th gen

    the apps wont install in my ipod touch 5th gen, it says 'will install' but it wont. i downloaded it through itunes in my pc. and the files doesnt sync. help

    Resetting settings does not remove Restrictions. Thus as Diavonex asked:
    Did you set any restrictions on the iPod?
    Settings>General>Restrictions>Installing Apps
    Have you successfully synced from the iTunes library before?
    Yu said: "it says 'will install' but it wont." what says "will install" Just what happens?

  • Facebook apps wont work for my iphone 4 please help

    facebook apps wont work for my iphone 4 please help

    Ok, what you have here is a basic 'blown fuse' problem.
    With the iPhone 3G and 3GS if you drop them in water and they stop working you can almost always revive the phone simply by oepning them up, finding the corrosion on the motherboard then cleaning it and putting it back together.
    With the iPhone 4 (and 4S) it's a different story though in that water damage causes a fuse on the motherboard to blow. Once blown, the phones can no longer receive power from the battery. They can however receive power from a wall charger, which is why your phone runs whilst plugged into a charger but dies as soon as it's disconnected. Trying to run it from a USB port wont work either as the 5V power supply gets interupted whilst the phone is booting, as such it dies part way through booting, and the cycle repeats. 
    At this stage you have 3 options:
    -have the phone replaced by Apple, or
    -replace the damaged fuse on the iPhone motherboard yourself, or
    -send the phone to a company to have the fuse repaired
    There is a company that sells the replacement components, and  they have an installation sevice too. I've fixed a couple of iPhones in my day, and unless you are very proficent with a soldering iron I strongly recommend having the repair done for you.
    See the link below:
    http://fonefixer.webs.com/apps/webstore/products/show/2684671
    Sorry it's not good news, but at least you know what's going on with the phone now and can weigh up your options.

    When I try and sync my iphone (backup) with my imac any apps that I have put on the imac OR my iphone will not sync to eachother, so I lose some of my apps. WHen itunes (on the imac) tells me to authorise the changes/apps and I put my details in, it comes up with an itunes error code of -54 and -50. I cannot sync my iphone correctly to back up on the imac and I need to do this as I use my phone for work. I have an iphone 4GS and run Mac OS X 10.6.8.
    Can anyone help me please?

    Thank you Carolyn, I understand that and do use the same P/w for both the iphone and the computer and the apps were origionally for the iphone anyway, they just used to back on the computer and now they wont and the imac even cancels them off my iphone when I sync. And it says "Itunes" has made an error, try again...with the coes -54 and -50. This means I canot ack up my iphone properly. 

  • Apps wont Install

    Since the AppStore outtage, my apps wont update or install. it gives me error: "This app couldn't be installed, please use the purchase page and try again" which I did yet it gives me the same error! Any help? MBP late 11 13" OSX 10.10.2

    Please test after taking each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved. Back up all data before making any changes.
    Step 1
    Rebuild the Spotlight index. If you try to search now from the magnifying-glass icon in the top right corner of the display, there will be an indication that indexing is in progress.
    Step 2
    Unlock the Network preference pane, if necessary, by clicking the lock icon in the lower left corner and entering your password. Cllck Advanced, open the DNS tab, and change the server addresses to the following:
              8.8.8.8
              8.8.4.4
    That's Google DNS. Click OK, then Apply.
    Step 3
    Quit the App Store if it's running. Force quit if necessary.
    Please triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    defaults write -app "App Store" ShowDebugMenu YES
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    Paste into the Terminal window by pressing the key combination command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
    Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear below what you entered. You can then quit Terminal.
    Launch the App Store. There should now be a menu labeled Debug in the menu bar at the top of the screen. From that menu, select
              Reset Application
    Quit again and relaunch. Test.
    Optionally, remove the Debug menu by quitting the App Store and entering the command below in the same way as before:
    defaults delete -app "App Store" ShowDebugMenu

    I did note that I have 6.5 gig free in my phone, so thats definitely not the problem.
    I thought, well, maybe I dloaded apps that are for 4.0.  So I queried 3gs apps and dloaded those.  No difference, will not load them.
