HT1937 I hit upgrade on my phone and now it says sim not valid on my phone.
Been having troublegetting the phone to read the sim card.
If you're getting a "SIM not valid" message, then most likely your iPhone was hacked to unlock it from the cell carrier and the upgrade has removed that hack, causing your iPhone to lock back to the original carrier. Only that original cell carrier can authorize an official, permanent unlock, so you will need to contact that carrier.
Regards.

Updated to ios5 and now Iphone says "Sim not valid"
I updated my Iphone to ios5 last night and the install went smoothly and worked fine until i went to turn it on and reactivate it after the restore. after i put in all the settings on the opening screens it went to try and activate the phone and it said "sim not valid". It says that your sim card cannot have a pin code which could be the problem but i dont think i ever set a pin code and it seems like this is a really ******** thing to get in the way. Do they ever tell you to disable your pin code during the install? I never saw anything but i was doing other stuff at the time so i was distracted. Anyone know how to fix this besides wasting more of my time by going to the nearest apple store?
me tooo...held up with th same problem with iphone 4........sim not valid.......dunno wat to do....

upgraded to 5 version and now most of my apps are missing on phone...everything said it its synced. How do I get them back on? Do I hit restore?
The apps will slowly load from the cloud. It takes quite a bit of time. You'll see your apps show up one by one.

I tried updating my iphone and now it says I have to restore my phone. I've never had this problem with the previous updates, I'm confused?
Same with me. The Upgrade hung up and froze the phone. Do the restore and then back it up when you get into iTunes from a previous save. It takes the better part of an hour our of your day depending how many apps and songs you have to get everything back together. It is a royal pain but I didn't lose anything.
Download a youtube app. It's not in iOS6. -
My phone says SIM not valid after ios 5 update, Why and how do I fix it?
Why does my iPhone 4 say SIM not valid after I updated to ios 5? Also, is there anything I can do to fix it?
Sounds like your phone was software unlocked, or hacked/jailbroken, to work with any carrier. Updating the phone restored the original carrier lock. All you can do now is contact the carrier it is locked to and see if they have an unlocking policy.
Good luck. -
My iPhone has two identical options under "iTunes wi-fi sync" that are the same computer. I only have one user on my computer, and I tried moving my iTunes file in Finder to organize it and now my library's not synced with my phone. Help?
I have the same problem. Right now my iPhone 5S shows 3 instances of the computer to which it is connected under Settings » General » iTunes WiFi Sync. I'm having problems connecting and syncing, and this is probably the cause: the phone chooses one of these connections, and it isn't the one that's actually in use. What's probably happening is that the phone and computer establish a connection using a dynamic IP address, the address becomes "disassociated" due to error, another address is associated, the phone retains each address/link, and each link is displayed as if it represents a separate computer (the fact that the name of the computer is identical is ignored, as the only thing that is considered important is the IP address). But that's all conjecture. More important, I'm not sure how to fix the problem. A network reset doesn't do it.

I bought the app Atari greatest hits package for $9.99 and now the app will not even open... Every time I try to open it it closes on its own...any suggestions?
Try deleting it and reinstalling it.
you can also try giving your iPad a reset. Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds or so until it reboots and see if that helps. -

i delete my iphone from find my i phone and now i want to make active my i phone i get the message your i phone could not be activated because the activation server failed i try it several time but my iphone is not activate help me fpls
Activation issues are almost always the result of a device that has been hacked or jailbroken. If that is the case, no support can be provided here.
The other possible issue is a device running the iOS7 Beta. If that is the case, and you are a developer, sign into the developers forums for assistance. If that is the case and you are not a developer, try google. -
I restored my I phone 4 using Itunes, after that I can't access the icon any more I only got a message that says " ( Sim not Valid.) Only compatible SIM cards from supported carrier may be used to activate iphone. I need some proffesional help. Thanks
"We're Sorry, Activation Server Temporarily Unavailable, contact Customer Care, Sim not vaild?"
99.9% of the time, the cause of this issue is the fact the phone was jailbroken/hacked to unlock it for use on networks other than the network the phone was originally locked to. Apple maintains a database of officially unlocked iPhones, and when Apple's servers detect phones such as yours, activation stops & you get the message you got.
So, either get a sim card from the carrier your phone was originally locked to, or get it officially unlocked, if you want to activate it. Because it appears that it was not officially unlocked. -
I bought an apple iPhone 4s unlocked from Canada. Now I'm in another country and I can't activate it because it says sim not valid,!! Then why the **** is it called unlocked phone????
It was bought from apple unlocked. No carrier's logo or name at all on the box... It turns on, I connect it to iTunes. It even asks me if I want to update for ions 5.0.1 something like this, but still in the main screen for iTunes it says:
the sim card inserted in this iPhone does not appear to be supported. Only compatible sim cards from a supported carrier mayb be used to activate iPhone. -
Iphone 4s saying sim not valid i just got the phone is have unlock code what do I do
Just got an iPhone 4s have the unlock code but the screen is just saying sim not valid how do I unlock
There is no such thing as an "unlock code" for an iPhone. If someone sold you one you have been scammed. iPhones are unlocked by the carrier the phone is locked to updating the master iPhone database maintained by Apple.

I was trying to upgrade my iphone 4 to the isos 5, everything was done on the PC. After it was done i thought it was working,but the screen went blank and this wat it says. SIM not Valid... please help me, that's the only phone i have.
If your iPhone was hacked to be unlocked to use with any carrier's SIM card, you just re-locked the iPhone to the carrier the iPhone was sold as carrier locked when new.

Upgraded To Snow Leopard And Now The Mic Is Not Working
I upgraded to Snow Leopard, and now my mic input is not woking on my 2 year old MacBook Pro. Can you tell me how to fix it?
Dainis,
Welcome to Apple Discussions!
You haven't provided much information so there is no way for us to trouble shoot your issue. I'm guessing you plugged a mic into the port, if so go to manufacturer of the mic's web site and see if that device is Snow Leopard compatible. Otherwise our hands are tied on how to help you.
Regards,
Roger
