HT1937 how to set up my iphone 3gs ?

i cant set up my iphone 3gs after downloading the new version ios 5.1.1

Are you trying to activate the phone? Sounds like you may have had an illegally unlocked phone and when you upgraded to 5.1.1 it put the lock back on rendering the sim you have in your phone useless. You need the correct sim to activate the phone and that would be from the carrier that the phone is locked to.

  • How to bypass setting up an iPhone 3GS without an active SIM card

    How do I make my iPhone 3GS functional again?
    I have an iPhone 3GS which I used to use as my cell phone, though I recently upgraded to a new phone.  However, I still use this old iPhone for its capabilities as an iPod.  The problem is, I tried to update it from iOS 6.1 to 6.1.3 and after I had to go through restoring it to factory default settings, it would not allow me to set it up as there was an issue with the SIM card and its pin.  Is there any way for me to make it start working again?

    iPhones require a SIM card for activation.  There is no bypass.

    You phone was hacked. You can not get help with it here. Hacking / Jailbreaking voids any warraty and forfeits your right to support. Discussing jailbroken / hacked devices is forbidden by the terms of service here.

    how can i activate my iphone 3gs after upgrading to ios6? it could not activate....

    If your phone was previously hacked to unlock it, when you updated the hack was removed and it's re-locked to the original carrier.  The phone will now activate and operate only with that original carrier.

  • Does anyone know how to set up 2 iphones on iCloud?

    Does anyone know how to set up 2 iphones on iCloud using just one macbook pro whilst keeping contacts, iTunes etc separate? My wife and I both have a new iPhone 4s but want to keep everything seperate.
    Many Thanks

    Then you need separate Apple ID's & iCloud accounts. This is required if you want to use things like iMessage, FaceTime & iCloud and not have a mess on your hands.

  • How can I update my iPhone 3gs to iOS4, after iOS5 came out?

    I am still running iOS 3 (1.3) on my iPhone 3GS and I'm happy with it - but all the new apps requires iOS4 and now I'm sick of this. I want iOS4 (and not iOS5, cause it will drain my battery as far as I've understood).
    How can I update my iPhone 3GS in a normal way to iOS4, through iTunes or another easy way? I have never jailbreaked an iPhone so I don't know too much about "backdoors" into my iPhone.

    The only Firmware in the iOS 4 series that Apple is still signing for the iPhone 3GS is 4.1. So you could restore  to 4.1. You will have to download the 4.1 IPSW from Apple, and then install it with iTunes, Option Click Mac or Shift Click Windoz, on the Restore Button and then select the 4.1 IPSW on your computer. The current iTunes may give meaningless Errors, I doubt because you are Upgrading. But if Error Message is given you will have to search the Web for ways to Exit Recovery.

    How can I recognized an iPhone 3GS on iTunes 11.0.4.4 version on PC Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 3?

    Plug the device into the computer and iTunes will detect it.  If that is not working, then stating as such would be a good start.

  • How can i get an iphone 3gs unlocked to any network?

    how can i get an iphone 3gs unlocked to any network?

    Only the cell carrier to whom the iPhone is locked can authorize an unlock, so you will need to contact the carrier. Note that if the iPhone is locked to AT&T, they will not unlock an iPhone at any time for any reason.

  • My laptop died out of the blue. It included all the songs that I have ever owned. How do I sync my iPhone 3GS and save all my music?

    How do I sync my iPhone 3Gs without losing all my music. I didn't buy all my music on iTunes. A lot of songs were from cds which I no longer have in my possession.
    Please advise.

    One of the reasons why including your iTunes library with your computer's backup along with all other important data is a good idea. The iPhone is not designed or intended to be used as a backup storage device.
    iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store from an iPod, iPad, or iPhone, but this is for iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store only.
    There are some 3rd party paid utilities that provide for transferring content that was not purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store from an iPhone.
