I bought an iphone4s before my carrier put my sim in it i updated itunes now wont work with my sim

Hello Aaron1658,
It sounds like you are unable to activate your phone with the SIM provided to you by your carrier. Try these steps in the following article to help you troubleshoot what it happening, named:
iPhone: Troubleshooting activation issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3424
Symptoms
Your iPhone may display one of the following messages when you attempt to activate it:
"Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable."
"The SIM card inserted in this iPhone does not appear to be supported"
"The iPhone is not recognized and cannot be activated for service."
"iTunes was unable to verify your device."
Restart the iPhone.
Try another means of reaching the activation server and attempt to activate.
Try connecting to a known-good Wi-Fi network if you're unable to activate using a cellular data connection.
Try connecting to iTunes if you're unable to activate using Wi-Fi.
Restore the iPhone.
If you receive an alert message when you attempt to activate your iPhone, try to place the iPhone in recovery mode and perform a restore. If you're still unable to complete the setup assistant due to an activation error, contact Apple for assistance.
If this is not what you are referring to, would you provide some more information about what is happening? Any error messages, prompts, etc.?
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

Dear sir
I bought my iPhone 4 from Apple store in Charlotte N/C about 2years ago without contract.
Now I tried to upgrade it to iOS 7.0.4.but after that my phone not work with last sim card.
And invalid sim appeared.so I bought it without contract but it seems to be lock in my country
Please tell me whats the matter?
My phone serial no 86034HTCA4T
Modem firmware 04.12.09
Thanks

Without contract is not the same as unlocked. The update to iOS 7 relocked
the iPhone to the wireless carrier to which it was originally locked. You must
contact that wireless carrier to see if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
If you used jailbreak or other hack to unlock the iPhone initially, the method
used may prevent a legitimate unlock from succeeding and may render your
iPhone unuseable.

Have latest version of iTunes installed and running. Also make sure you have internet access working and can access Apple websites. Also, make sure you don't have any entries in your hosts file referring to gs.apple.com....If your not sure about how to do that, go ahead and do the rest first. You can come back to that later.....Plug in phone. Put phone in DFU mode.(google put iphone in DFU mode for instructions) Then restore the phone in iTunes by highliting your device in the left column and click on the Restore button. The latest iOS version is 4.3.3. That's what iTunes will restore it to. When it's done restoring, iTunes will ask if you want to restore from a backup or setup as a new phone. I would use the Setup as a New Phone option. Once it's done, you should have a clean install of the iOS and an operating phone, as long as there are no hardware issues with it.

I bought this iPhone from Apple Retail Store for the full amount, but it does not work with my SIM card only works with AT&T

Hello,
I have an iPhone 4S 32Gb White AT&T, product part No. MC921LL/A, Serial No. C39GMLPWDTDC
I bought this iPhone from Apple Retail Store (from Fifth Avenue, NY) for the full amount. Now it does not work with my SIM card only works with AT&T. I restored the phone several times, but I have not received "Congratulations your iPhone has been unlocked". Please activate my iPhone to work with different SIM cards
Thanks,
Best Wishes

When did you buy it?
Apple did not begin selling an unlocked version of the iPhone 4S in the US until 11/11/11. I believe it went on sale only through the online store at that time. I'm not sure if it's available at retail yet.
What you purchased was a phone without a contract commitment. It is still locked to AT&T. AT&T will NOT unlock iPhones for any reason. Return it and get your money back, then use that to purchase an unlocked phone.

Headsets don't come with the iPad. All you get is the iPad, USB cable and wall charger.

Hello lonnadee,
this "serial number" obtained from Amazon or similar firms is not a serial number, only a code with which you can request a serial number from Adobe. Here you have to go through "Adobe Store", and look for the button "Serial Number Request". Fill in the form and, after a while you will get a "real" serial number.
Good luck!

I have a macbook pro and i put a new hard drive in it but now wont start up but when i firewire it to another mac the hard drive seems to be fine

i have a macbook pro and i put a 500 gb hard drive but know pro wont start up but when i firewire it to another mac the harddrive seems to be fine

When you formatted the drive, before installing OSX, did you click Options on the Partition and select Mac GUID Bootable ?
Just because it mounts as an external does not mean it's a bootable Volume ...

HT4061 my iphone has been jailbroked when i bought it i updated it now it work?

my iphone has been jailbroken when i bought it on ebay i updated it now it dont work can i fix it?

Return it, get your money back.
This forum and Apple Inc does not provide support for jailbroken devices and it may *NEVER* be "good as new".
Buy from Apple or a carrier next time.

I recently bought an Airport extreme, while I was living in Japan, and had a fiber optic modem. The Airport connected fine and I had wi-fi I moved back to the US, and when I got my docsis(?) modem from COX, it wont work with my airport extreme help!

Basically had APxtreme working with fiber optic in Japan, got to the states with Docsis(cisco) modem and my APxtreme doesnt work now. Tried forever, and it just didnt work, I had a yellow light for internet on airport utility with a green light for the APxtreme? Still nothing workey....

Anytime you change networking hardware, it is always a good idea to perform a complete power recycle of your networking components.
I would recommend that you do the following as a minimum:
Power-down the modem, AirPort base station, and computer(s).
Disconnect the AirPort base station from the Internet broadband modem.
While all of the devices are powered-down, perform a "factory default" reset on the base station. This will get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration and make setting it up much easier, especially if you use the "Assist me" process within the AirPort Utility. (ref: Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule)
After the base station resets, go ahead and power it back down.
Reconnect the AirPort base station to the Internet broadband modem. For the Extreme and Time Capsule, be sure to connect the cable to the base station's WAN (circle-of-dots) port.
Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes to allow it adequate time to initialize.
Power-up the AirPort base station; wait at least 5-10 minutes. Note: The AirPort's status light may continue to flash amber after it has intialized. That is because, there may be some additional configuration items necessary, like setting up wireless security, before the overall setup is completed to get a green status.
Power-up your computer(s).
In this basic configuration, the AirPort base station will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a Network Name (SSID) of Apple Network NNNNNN. Network clients, connected to the base station either by wire or wireless, should now be able to access the Internet through the ISP's modem. Once Internet connectivity has been verified, you can use the AirPort Utility to configure the base station for wireless security and any other desired options. Please post back your results.

Since update,mini ipad wont charge with cable and charger.Bought new one same thing.

Since i did the 7.0.4 update, my mini ipad wont charge with the factory supplied charger and cord. I bought a new cord and charger and it still would not charge. I only have it 8 months. Help

At 8 months you're still within the one-year warranty (even without extended AppleCare warranty).
I would suggest taking the device (and your chargers) to an Apple Store if there is one nearby, or call AppleCare at 1-800-275-2273 in the U.S. (see http://www.apple.com/contact/ for AppleCare support numbers outside the U.S.) to see about getting the device serviced.

Putting Apps into new computer and new Itunes, Aithorization dosnt work.

I just got a new mac and I wanted to snyc my ipod. Using an external hardrive i have already put all my music on but i didnt put on my apps because there wasnt enough space. Now when I snyc my touch it comes up with the sign "would you like to transfer purchased items into itunes" of course I click yes, then it goes on. At this point I should mention I have already authorized my computer for music and apps. When the snycing starts it suddenly stops and says that it cant import the apps because my computer is not authorized, even though it is. to make it worse, the first time i snyced after authorizing the computer 6 apps made it but the rest said my com needed to be authorized. I dont wanna have to lose all those apps (56 in total alot i know) so CAN ANYONE HELP!!!!!!

This is the process I would have recommended:
Backup your library using this User Tip.
Deauthorise the old computer if you won't be using it for iTunes.
Restore the library into the music folder on the new computer.
Install iTunes and sign in to your account.
For the "restore" process you can either just copy the backed up iTunes folder into the new computer or install and set up SyncToy to manage the transfer. If you install iTunes before restoring the library then you should delete/rename the existing empty iTunes library in your profile's music folder first.
Reconnecting an old iOS device backup set into a new iTunes installation is actually quite tricky, but provided the library has been properly conserved it is an unnecessary step. A library transferred as outlined above will be the same library the device was previously synced with, albeit on a different computer/operating system, and there should be no problem syncing media or apps. Info content such as calendar and contacts may need a little more care to make sure the same applications have as used previously have been installed and their data restored to them.

I have bought pages and it all was going well until I downloaded the update. Now my files (which are mainly brochures) won't show the pictures in opening screen. So I have over fifty documents and they all show the pages logo on them instead of the pics

I used pages for brochure documents and copied pictures to them, after I downloaded the upgrade the documents only show the pages logo on the pages from the opening screen. Once you click on them the pictures appear but it takes me ages to do this so they all show. HELP

Tupelo, there are many, many threads here in the Apple Discussions about the many issues with Pages 5, and the multitude of features that have been lost in this supposed "upgrade." Like Jerry, I'd recommend you get yourself back to Pages 4.3 until Apple comes to their senses.
So...first off: do you have Pages 4.3 still installed? If you do, it will be in an iWorks '09 folder in your Applications folder. If you bought Pages 4.3 on its own from the App store, your copy of Pages 4.3 will have been overwritten by the new Pages 5.
If you don't have the iWork '09 folder in your Applications folder, do you have a backup with it installed there? If so, you'll want to revert to that version. I believe that you can drag and drop the older version of Pages (and Keynote and Numbers if you have those as well); I'd recommend that you create a folder called "iWorks '09" in your Applications folder and stick them in that.
Also, if you have a reasonably current backup, you will be able to recover your documents created in Pages 4.3. Whatever you do, do NOT open them in Pages 5 - once you do, the features you may have used will be gone and reverting won't recover them.
You may also be able to revert to earlier versions, once you get Pages 4.3 back on your HD/or locate it and so you can use it to open Pages documents. In order to try that, in Pages 5, go to File->Export->Pages 4.3 document and then close Pages 5, and open Pages 4.3. Open the document you just exported. Now go to File->Revert and see if you can find an earlier, pre-Pages 5 version. If you can do that, you should be able to fairly painlessly recover all your messed up docs. Of course, if you have a current backup, it may be faster to simply recover the undamaged originals from the backup.
Pages 5, if installed on your system, will be the default for opening all .pages documents. You therefore have to do something to prevent that (Get Info and Change All won't stick). Either move Pages 5 entirely off your HD (and to move it, you'll need to put it into the trash first, as simply dragging it somewhere just creates an alias - once you drag it into the Trash, you can drag it to an external drive, for instance) OR you can create a disk image by sticking it in a folder and then using Disk Utility->File->New->Disk Image from Folder. Toss the Pages.app (v 5) in the trash and then any time you want to open Pages 5, simply click on the disk image. It turns itself back into a disk image when you quit. And it won't be the default app for .pages docs when it's a disk image. Or you can simply toss Pages 5 in the Trash entirely. The only reason I've kept my iWork 2013 apps as disk images is in case Apple actually does upgrade them to recover the lost features and perhaps changes its freebie policy along the way. Or...someone might send me a Pages 5 document. They can't be opened in Pages 4.3, so I'd need it then.

Will iPhone 6 bought in US work with UK SIM in UK?

I am travelling to the US on holiday later this year and was thinking of purchasing an unlocked iPhone 6. Does anyone know whether an iPhone 6 purchased in US will work on all of the UK carrier networks with a UK SIM?

I synchronized my bookmarks between 2 PCs using a program named Carry It Easy plus. My bookmarks updated but nowe my bookmark library is empty in organizer. Is there any way to repopulate? I've already tried restoring bookmarks.

Using the synchronization software, Carry It Easy +Plus, I synched all my bookmarks but ever since, my library in the Organize Bookmarks menu has been empty. I've tried restoring previous bookmarks, I've tried restarting both Firefox and the PC and nothing has worked.

This looks like a duplicate of https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/835014#answer-201724
Backup of bookmarks, deletion of places.sqlite, and restoration of bookmarks solved it for me.
