I cannot get my iphone 3gs to activate and I just had it unlocked

It sounds like it was likely jailbroken and will never activate.
But if not, contact the original cellular carrier to make sure it was unlocked.

    Hello Newfieblue71,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand you're unable to get your iPhone to recognize your Officejet 4630. I will do my best to assist you! I would recommend following this entire HP document on Printing from an Apple Mobile Device. Click on printing with Apple AirPrint, then click on what if no AirPrint printers found message displays on your Apple device.
    Please post your results, as I will be looking forward to hearing from you.
    Have a great day!

  • My iphone 3gs is locked and after paying it is unlock, but not showing network

    My iphone 3gs is locked and after paying it is unlock from vodafone UK, but showing no service and searching network. Also after connecting itunes follwing message reflects
    There is no SIM card installed in the iPhone you are attempting to activate.
    Please disconnect and insert a SIM card in the iPhone.

    Did you get an email from vodafone confirming that the phone is unlocked? Did you put a SIM card in the phone? Did you complete the unlock process as detailed in the email? Did you restore your phone as new?

  • I cannot get my IPhone 3gs to restore to my last backup?

    I had an issue with IPhone 3gs earlier so I synced and backed-up the phone and then attempted to restore the phone to see if I could eliminate the problem. After the restore and software update, it brought me to the "Set up your IPhone" page and I selected "restore from the last backup on my iphone" then clicked "continue." It started to restore from backup and everything appeared to be running like normal, but when it was finished and my phone restarted, my apps and songs were deleted but my pictures/wallpapers/contacts were still on the phone. In addition, instead of my itunes returning to my Iphone's library, it returned to the "Set up your IPhone" page like the restore never happened. I have tried to restore from backup multiples times after that but I end up with the same result so I cannot access my iphone's library on my itunes to add any of my songs back since the restore didn't bring any of it back. Does anyone know of a way to solve this issue? I've been able to restore my iphone successfully in the past and have never experienced this problem before so I have no idea as to how I can fix it. I hope I have explained it in a way that is easy to understand and I hope someone possibly knows how to help me.
    Thank you.

  • I cannot get my Iphone 3GS to sync calendar after updating to IOS5!

    After updating my Iphone 3GS to OIS5, my calendars will not sync.  Mail and contacts sync just fine.  Somehow the calendar entries were lost.  The entries still reside on my PC.

    It sounds like it was likely jailbroken and will never activate.
    But if not, contact the original cellular carrier to make sure it was unlocked.

  • TS2529 how can i get my iphone 3gs out of recovery mode

    I tried to sync & update my iphone 3gs with itunes and after the update itunes gave message 'iphone in recovery mode, click here to restore'.  I dont want to restore back to new condition.  My phone is useless, please tell me how to get it out of recovery mode without having to restore.  Thanks for any help!

    You CANNOT get your phone out of recovery mode without restoring.  Either restore your phone, or sit there with a broken, useless phone. 
    Your choice.

  • HT1373 i have a broken desktop which had my itunes account on it. I am trying to get the information onto a new laptop and itunes programme but cannot. I also cannot get my iphone 5 to be recognized on the new itunes. HELP

    i have a broken desktop which had my itunes account on it.
    I am trying to get the information onto a new laptop and itunes programme but cannot. I have only managed to copy over some of my music as i had it on an external drive.
    I also cannot get my iphone 5 to be recognized on the new itunes.
    HELP

    iTunes as you see it in the application window uses a series of files and folders contained in the iTunes folder.  Some people make the mistake of only backing up their media in which case all you have is a bunch of media files without the iTunes structure.  In that case you have to build a new library yourself.
    What exactly do you mean "not recognized"?  The phone does not show up on the computer at all, or it does but it says it will wipe the phone?  The wipe the phone stuff is again because it cannot find the original library to which it was synced.  You need to transfer the entire iTunes folder from the old computer or the backup you made of it.

  • How can i get an iphone 3gs unlocked to any network?

    how can i get an iphone 3gs unlocked to any network?

    Only the cell carrier to whom the iPhone is locked can authorize an unlock, so you will need to contact the carrier. Note that if the iPhone is locked to AT&T, they will not unlock an iPhone at any time for any reason.
    Regards.
