HT4623 I've update my 3gs to ios 6 but it wont read my sim card to complete the update

it says that try connect to itunes but when i did it itunes say there are no sim card in your iphone please insert and connect again. What!!!???
Now I'm stuck in the middle of activation of my iphone and i cant do jacksqwat any advice would be SO COOL

You need a valid SIM card from the carrier to which the phone is locked. It sounds like you do not have a legitimately unlocked iPhone, and upgrading the iOS has re-locked it to the legitimate carrier
Only the carrier can unlock the phone.

Hello James,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with your iPhone. I recommend following the steps in the article below if you are getting the message "No SIM" when your SIM card is installed:

Updated my iphone 3gs to the 5 ios and now my phone wont read my sim card when i reacticate it

updated my iphone 3gs to the 5 ios and now my phone wont read my sim card when i reactivate it.
Every time i connect it to itunes all it says is "There is no SIM card installed in the iphone you are attempting to activate." Even thought there is a sim card connected in my phone.

Is the SIM from a supported carrier?
Is the device carrier locked, officially unlocked, or hacked to be unlocked?
Has the SIM been reseated? If not, try that.
Also, basic troubleshooting is reset, restart, restore. Has any of that been tried?

If I update my 3gs from ios 4.1 to 6.1.3 will it crash the phone?

If you are running iOS 4.1 on a stock, unmodified 3gs, you should
have no problem. Do a backup of all your data, music, pictures, etc
before as protection.
If your iPhone has been jailbroken or hacked to work with a carrier
other than the one the iPhone was originally locked to, you may
have problems.

HT4913 Itunes match is not updating recently added songs. It doesn't seem to be able to complete the update when I start to match.

I am experiencing difficulties adding new songs to icloud via itunes Match. Match just doesn't complete the update, keeps running and running, but never actually finishes. This make managing my music impossible as I can't make playlists until the songs have been loaded into the cloud. How can I fix or get around this? If this continues, I would like to remove Match entirely - how can I do this?

Hi TakesTwo2Tango,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you should definitely be seeing a plus sign after tapping Edit, so I would try a couple relatively easy things (closing the Music app, resetting the iPhone):
iOS: Force an app to close

iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting

After connecting to itune to down load and update my 3gs iphone it is now telling me "no sim card" How can I get round this?, after connecting to itune to down load and update my 3gs iphone it is now telling me "no sim card" How can I get round this?

After connecting my 3gs phone to itune last night to download items and to get new updates my phone will not work, it says to add a sims card to phone but the sims is already in it. How can I get my phone to work?

Sounds like your iPhone was previously hacked/modified/jailbroken
and the update has relocked it to the original wireless carrier. If that
is the case, only the wireless carrier to which the iPhone is now locked
can unlock it.
Does the app Cydia appear on your iPhone?
What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>Carrier?
What wireless provider do you normally use?

RE: Downloading and updating apps. I log in correctly and agree as required; but immediately I am timed out and cannot complete the update or download. Checked on my PC, my password is correct.

Re: Downloading and updating apps. I log in correctly and agree as required. But before a download happens i get a message "session timed out" and I cannot complete the download. This happens in a matter of seconds. Anyone?

Have you checked to see if you credit card is out of date? You may need to update your credit card on file.......

IPhone doesn't recognize sim card anymore after the update

The update completely borked my phone. I bought it in Beijing, China. Made sure it was unlocked (from an official apple store) and they told me it was. Worked fine with my Swedish sim card, went back to China after a few months and it worked fine with my Chinese sim card. Got a popup today from itunes telling me that there's an upgrade so I upgraded it. Now it tells me it doesn't support my sim card, I've tried recovering it with DFU/DUF (cant remember the name) but it didn't help. This really blows, if I've lost all of my phone numbers etc now because of this bleep I'm going to be furious.
Any tips? Ideas?

Okay, here comes an update.
I went to the store where I bought my iPhone and I told them about my problem. Here's where it starts to get funny.
Apparantly they had imported my iPhone from USA and they even jailbroke it. (I had NO IDEA)
With other words, the reason as to why the phone was unlocked was because they jailbroke it. Something they never told me. So naturally when I updated my phone in iTunes (not knowing it was jailbroken), the phone got locked.
Pretty ****** huh? An official reseller of apple products actually jailbreak their products and then sell them to people who simply don't know any better.
So I've wasted around $600 for nothing. They KNEW it would get locked, they KNEW that what they were doing was illegal and still they did it.
This is ridiculous.
Edit: I also forgot to mention, they pretty much just told me "nothing we can do about it".

HT4623 Under General in settings, I do not have the option to update software. I need to update my ipad to iOS 5.0. How do I do this without the update software option??

How do I update to 5.0 if I don't have software update in my settings?

If you are under iOS 4.x, you cant update ota (over the air). You need to plug your device to your computer and update it from iTunes.

I have updated my adobe plugin but FF continues to disable and won't complete the update. I can't use FF if it keeps doing this.

I receive an error message and can't play videos on yahoo and a variety of sites. I click on FF to check for updates but it gets stuck "connecting with mozilla." I love FF, but I don't have time for solving these kind of problems.

hello phxpuma, adobe has released a critical patch for a vulnerability in its flash plugin, which is reportedly already exploited in the wild. therefore firefox will block insecure versions from running by default on websites for your protection. https://helpx.adobe.com/security/products/flash-player/apsb14-27.html https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/blocked/p794
please update to Adobe Flash Player version 16.0.0.235 as soon as possible, which you can download from http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html (use the windows-exe for plugin-based browsers).

Never-hacked 4 gets "There is no SIM card installed in the iPhone" after update to 7.0.2

I was using iOS 7.0.1 an hour ago. Upon update to 7.0.2 I get "There is no SIM card installed in the iPhone you are attempting to activate."
I know I haven't a SIM. I threw it away. I moved on. New carrier - HTC phone. I've been using my iPone 4 as an iPod without the SIM for over half a year. Before that I did the same with my iPhone 3 for much longer.
What hoops do I have to jump through now to recover my iPhone 4?
The phone has never been jailbroken or altered.
ATT was my original sevrice provider while I bought my device from Apple.

All iPhones require activation after a restoration and an iOS upgrade. There really was no reason to throw your deactivated SIM from AT&T away. You'll need an AT&T sim to activate that phone. It doesn't need to be active, however. Borrow one from someone to get your phone activated

How do I update my 3GS to iOS 5?

How do I update my 3GS to iOS 5? I've tried the update on iTunes but it says my phone is up-to-date with version 4.2.1

That suggests you have an iPhone 3G, not a 3GS, which can't run an iOS version newer than 4.2.1. If you're sure you're using an iPhone 3GS, ensure that iTunes is up to date.

I am unable to complete setup after updating iphone 3GS to IOS 6.16.

I have been using an iPhone 3GS in an art gallery for processing credit cards via WIFI. I am not using the phone on cellular and it has no SIM card. The other day I received a message about a "mandatory software update" so I proceeded to do the update. When I got back to the phone, it showed a screen that said IOS 6 and the "slide to set up" when I did that, it said I had to connect to iTunes. I was unable to connect to a computer and the device was not able to connect to the internet for WIFI. When I tried to connect to a computer and iTunes, the phone was not recognized by the computer. The phone is connected to the computer right now and is cycling between a black screen and the apple icon. I won't go anywhere else.
I have tried the two-button reset and it does not work.
It seems that the update has bricked the phone. Is there anything I can do to revive it?

Oh ...
That makes it difficult. My new (working) phone is a 4S and the SIM card does not fit. The old SIM card is in the 3GS but as far as I know it was was deactivated.
But it seems that with other updates over the last couple of years this was not necessary and my partner went through the same update with her 3GS with no problems.
Should I go to my AT&T dealer and purchase a new SIM card? Is there still a new one available?
