    You can not install iOS 5. It is no longer signed by Apple. You can only install the current version of iOS. For a 3GS, that's 6.1.3.
    However... if you have 4.2.1 on your phone, odds are it is not a 3GS, it is a 3G. If that's the case, you've reached the end of the road for that. It can not run anything higher than 4.2.1.

  • Im trying to activate my iphone 3GS and it says my sims card isnt in the phone (when it is). Why is it doing this?

    My iphone was recently restored and Im trying to switch from my old phone to the iphone 3GS, but when I put  my sims card in the iphone and it connects with itunes. It says there isnt a sims card in the phone and it says for me to unplug the iphone and put a sims card in it. HELP!

    No. There is no way around this. Without the credentials used to lock it, you can't use it at all. Return it to the person you got it from and get your money back. Failing that, turn it over to the police. There is a high likelyhood that it's stolen.

  • TS1368 my iphone is displaying "there is no sim card installed in the iphone you are attempting to activate" wn i connect it to itunes

    my iphone is displaying "there is no sim card installed in the iphone you are attempting to activate" wn i connect it to itunes,bcoz i hv installed ios5.0.1 for my iphone 3g.can you tel me how to solve dis problem?

    I’m having the same issue.
    My phone indeed has no SIM card. I kept the 3GS after upgrading to an iPhone 4 and I was simply using it as an iPod Touch.
    As far as I had been told, I was perfectly OK to do that and it had been going fro update to update without any issue up to now.
    The problem is that iOS 5 requires a new activation, and that this model cannot be activated with a valid SIM. Obivously, I’m not going to take a new line with AT&T ad pay $xxx every month just to be able to activate my previous phone.
    I contacted AT&T but they had no clue how to get out of the problem and said it was in Apple’s hands anyway.
    I tried restoring 4.3.5 on the phone, but so far I haven’t been successful :-\
    I’m open to any suggestion

  • Hi I m having iphone 5.it was working well.I dont know what happened to it today.It started showing "No sim card installed ".How can I get rid of this problem.

    hi I m having iphone 5.I got it on my birthday, it was working well till today...I dont know what happened to it today..it started showing "No sim card installed ".how is it possible i talked to my friend on the same phone only 2 min before ds notification..kindly help me out

    You could try removing the sim card and cleaning it - then put it back.
    I assume that there is supposed to be a sim card in your model of iPhone 5 ?

  • HT201209 I have two questions.  I have purchased two songs on my gift card.  The upper right corner says I have $12.42.  When I try to buy another song, I am referred to my credit card.  How do I use the rest of my gift card?

    I have a gift card that I have not been able to use.  I am told I have $12.42 in my account, but don't know how to access it.  When I try to download a song, I am referred to my credit card.  How do I use my gift card?
    Also, there are two downloads in my account that I can not delete.  I did not order them and do not know how they got in my account.  I think they are SciFi TV programs.  How do I get rid of them?
    Hope you can help.  I have used itune gift cards before and never had trouble.  Thanks for your help.

    Are you perhaps trying to buy a gift for someone else? If so, then you can only pay for a gift via a credit card. Or is it just asking you to update/confirm your billing details? If so, that's a normal security precaution. Just make sure your credit card information is correct and it should then deduct the purchase from your credit balance.
    Regards.

  • My iPhone 3GS vibrates when I put the silent switch in ring mode.

    What I remember the silent switch doing is when I put it in silent mode, an indicator icon would show on the screen indicating that sound is off and the phone would also vibrate.
    Now, the indicator icons are still correct (no sound in silent mode, sound in ring mode), but the vibrating is switched. It vibrates when I put it in ring mode and doesn't when I put it in silent mode.

    Nope, not jailbreak. On 4.3.3 firmware also.
    Problem was in settings; vibrate on silent was turned off. Turned it back on and problem is fixed.

  • Apple iPhone 3GS 8GB Blank Screen While Updating to IOS4.3.3

    Hi have iPhone 3GS 8GB. This phone I got as replacement from Apple for my Previous iPhone which got stuck in recovery. This replacement phone was working on IOS 4.2.1.
    A few days back Apple has released IOS 4.3.3 and while updating my iPhone via iTunes, there was some error message.
    I tried it again and different different errors keep on coming. Now my Phone is totally blank. When I plug the Phone in Computer I can listen to USB Plugin sound coming from computer but nothing is coming on screen. It seems iPhone is stuck in DFU Mode.
    Also when I plug the phone in computer iTunes POPs up and says phone is in recovery mode and when I restore the phone error 1600 keeps on coming.
    I am 100% sure there is some software issues with the phone as computer responds when I plug in and Plug out the phone (USB Sound). Can any wise person on this Group help me out with the same.
    Regards,
    Anshuman

    are you able to see the apps on the home screen? If so, it's most likely an issue with your carrier
    This is also an issue that can appear on devices that have been modified in an unauthorized manner (not judging, just saying)

  • How do I stop iPad telling me I have no SIM card installed

    I only use wifi, but I'm continually told every few minutes I have no SIM card installed how can I stop this.

    Depending on your iPad model, if you have Siri you can tell her to turn Cellular Data off.  If you own the iPad 2, then the only way I was able to do it was to get a SIM card (you don't need to activate it) and place it in the Sim slot.  Once you do that, you then have access to turn off cellular data through settings.
    Settings->Cellular Data - toggle it off.
    Hope this helps!
