HT4623 do you have to have a sim card in to do and update?
do you need a SIM card to do an update on an Iphone 4?
Most updates require reactivation of the iPhone, which in turn needs a SIM present.

Hi I have taken my daughters iphone and wiped it and resetted it but it will now not let me activate it via itunes and will not even go onto the home screen of the phone so i can go to settings etc and i do not know what to do to enable the phone to be activated
"We're Sorry, Activation Server Temporarily Unavailable, contact Customer Care?"
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, you need to get a sim card from the carrier the 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. -

On iPhone, SMS messaging is required to activate FaceTime and iMessage for use with your phone number. Depending on your carrier, you may be charged for this SMS. -
HT4623 Can I have two sim cards on one iphone
I have a personal iphone 4s and a work iphone4 and i hate having two phones and i would like to merge them is this possible or can people call my personal number and it be re-directed to work phone? Or can an iphone run two sims at once like mail can run two emails at once
hi there,
yes, call forwarding is possible. Be aware though, that with call forwarding additional charges might incur.
no, the iPhone does not support Dual-SIM capability.
Hope this helps,

I bought an iPhone 5 in the UK but want to use a UK and an Irish sim. However the Irish sim won't allow me to text to certain numbers in the UK ie those on blackberry or samsungs. Any ideas?
4-5 hours of battery life with heavy usage sounds about right. Modify your usage habits or charge your iPhone more frequently.
What did your wireless carrier say about your texting issue?
Your iPad has a larger and stronger wi-fi antenna. Your situation doesn't seem abnormal.
Train yourself to remember to turn your wi-fi on/off as needed. Set up a location based Reminder if that will help you.
Your cellular data connection issue combined with your reported texting issue suggests there is a problem on the wireless carrier side. Talk to them.
Cheers! -

That does happen. It depends on how hard the server is being hit, as well as the connection speed of your system. If you are on a windows system, you will want to disable any antivirus or firewall software during the download.

HT4972 my iphone is not installed sim card.so I can't update my iphone.
my iphone is not installed sim card.so I can't update my iphone.
That's correct, without a supported SIM card you can't set up the phone.
If your carrier supports unlocking, you can use any SIM after your phone has been unlocked by the provider:
iPhone: Wireless carrier support and features
iPhone: About unlocking
Follow the instructions in this article to unlock your iPhone for use with different carriers.
Follow these instructions to initiate the unlocking process for your iPhone:
Check if your carrier offers unlocking. Only your carrier can unlock your iPhone.
Contact your carrier and request an unlock.You may need to meet certain requirements to qualify for unlocking. After your carrier submits the unlocking request, it may take up to seven days.
Once you receive confirmation from your carrier that your iPhone unlock has been processed, proceed to the next section.
If you have a SIM card from a carrier that is different from your current carrier, and you've received confirmation from your current carrier that your iPhone is unlocked, follow these steps:
Eject your SIM card and insert the new SIM card.
Complete the setup process.
If you do not currently have another SIM card you can use, follow these steps to complete the process:
Back up your iPhone.
Erase your iPhone.
Complete the setup assistant and restore your backup.
Additional Information
If you experience issues or receive the following error message displayed in iTunes or on your device, follow the steps below:"The SIM card inserted in this iPhone does not appear to be supported. 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 store."
Restore your iPhone.
Contact your carrier to verify that the unlock was applied in your carrier's system. -
if you dont have the sim card that came with the iphone and you resync it how do you get it to turn back on .?
You have been syncing the iPhone with iTunes on your computer without a SIM card inserted in the iPhone for how long?
If the iPhone says connect to computer, this means there is a problem with your iPhone that requires restoring the iPhone with iTunes. As already provided, not having a SIM card inserted in an iPhone does not prevent or shouldn't prevent syncing the iPhone with iTunes. Depending on the iPhone model, it is required in order to restore the iPhone with iTunes.

To re-activate an iPhone 3G or iPhone 3GS that displays the "Connect to iTunes" screen:
Insert a SIM card from the carrier with which you used your phone. Note: If you are using the same carrier, you can use the activated SIM card from your new device to do this. If your device is unlocked by your carrier, you can use any SIM card.
Connect the iPhone 3G or iPhone 3GS to iTunes on a computer connected to the Internet.
iTunes will then activate the device. You can remove the SIM card at this point and use the iPhone as if it were an iPod touch. -

What computer operating system is involved in the Premiere Elements 11 and 13 issues? Same computer or different ones? Are you installing from purchased download installation files or from purchased installation disc? Does Premiere Elements 11 work completely on this computer whereas 13 will not?
Let us go through the typical drill so as to take nothing for granted.
1. Does the problem exist with or without the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled? Are you working with an individual home computer or in a
school or company network?
2. Are you running the program as Administrator and is there any "domain" account involved?
3. Is your video card/graphics card up to date according to the web site of the manufacturer of the card?
4. Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on the computer with Premiere Elements?
Let us start by ruling in or out any of the above, and then we can decide what next.
Any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.
Thank you.

Is there a way to have two sim cards with one icloud?
I am trying to use an ipad mini and iphone. they both have sim cards with different numbers and I am getting the facetime calls on both devices as well seeing iMessage on both devices. But when i try to send a text out from the ipad it doesn't seem to go. I always get the fail to send message.
So it turns out that I was trying to do something that isn't allowed by Apple. I was assuming, incorrectly it seems, that because the ipad had it's own sim card that I could text anyone. But you can only use the iMessage. The sim card is just for connectivity. So it is all good with my iPad and all is working the way it should.

Hi,
I have an iPad 2 that is defective. Apple has replaced it with a new one. First off, how do I know if I have a Sim card? Secondly, I backed up my old iPad the other night (iPad plugged into iTunes). Can somebody help me and explain how I set up my new iPad now? Then how do I register it with my new serial number, etc.? Any and all help is appreciated. I'm not mechanically inclined, so to speak, so if anyone can make it easy on me it would be greatly appreciated. By the way, my iPad 2 is a 64 GB with WiFi and 3G. Thanks in advance for any and all help.You need to restore your iPad from iTunes.
Start iTunes.
Plug in your iPad using the USB cable.
Click on the iPad in the left hand column under "Devices".
In the "Summary" tab, there are options to Back up, Update and Restore.
Choose Restore, choose the backup and let it run.

If your old iPad was capable of receiving data on the go, without wifi, then you have a SIM installed. Best to check anyway. You need either the tool supplied in the box, or the end of a paper clip to open the tray

I have an iPhone 3GS and was trying to restore it...
Now it won't let me activate my phone and my itunes tells me I have no SIM card inserted when I do.
Any ideas on how to get it working again?This means that the phone was previously hacked to carrier unlock (unauthorized unlock), and when you restored, the hack was removed and it became re-locked to its original carrier. It will now accept a SIM card only from that carrier.
Your only option is to contact the carrier it's locked to and enquire if they will provide authorized unlocking. Not all carriers will unlock and those that do usually have requirements and qualifications - i.e. you have to be a current or former customer in good standing. -
I have the iPhone 5 and I keep getting a no sim card message. I have had my phone for over a year now so I know I have a sim card. How can I fix this because it doesn't let me get calls now.
Try resetting the phone. Hold the home and power lock button until the Apple logo appears.If that does not work, turn the phone off and take the SIM out and then put it back in.
If that still does not work, you may have a defective SIM, in which case you will need a new one from your carrier. -
Hi I have tried all the tricks from the support to have iMessage and FaceTime running but it is impossible for me to activate these apps with my phone number. Problem is I have another sim from the same carrier and I am able to do it on that one.
I am desperate for a help!
Thanks a lotCan you make phone calls on the phone that won't activate? Is it only iMessage and Facetime that isn't working? What about data - can you access the internet?
Your last statement didn't make much sense to me: " I still can have the apps working but only from an email"
Pls explain that clearly.
