I cant active iPhone 3GS to iOS 5
Hey!
I just upgraded my iPhone 3GS to iOS 5. All went well, then at the end, it asks me a few set ups (like language, Location, and WiFi settings).
After that, it attempts to activate, and fails, giving me the following error in iTunes: "There is no SIM card installed in the iPhone you are attempting to activate."
Problem is, there IS a SIM card in the phone, I tried taking it out, and putting it back in, tried with another SIM, tried the SIM in another phone, worked fine, just not the iPhone1!
I would appreciate any help!
hi i had the same problem just wanted to know if you av heard anything

i updated my iphone 3gs to ios 5.0.1 from ios 4 , now its saying that sim is not activated but the sim is still inside
PLSS HELP ME OUT !!!!Sounds like your phone was hacked to work with any network. Doing the update re-locked it to the original carrier. All you can do now is contact the carrier it is locked to to see if they have an unlocking policy. Note that if it's AT&T they do not offer unlocking. otherwise find an un-activated sim for the original carrier and you can use it as an iPod.

I tried to update my iphone 3gs from ios 5 to 6 but because of software crash and while restoring with ios 6 it is not activated. Now I degrade it in ios 4 and can not use any app. How can I update this iphone?
Downgrading the iOS is not supported, and likely has caused the problems you are experiencing.
You'll need to go elsewhere for support. -

Unable to activate iPhone 3GS after IOS 5 upgrade
Hi: I was prompted by iTunes to upgrade my iphone 3GS to IOS 5. I didn't "steal" or did anything illegal. I have upgraded my iPhone software many times before through iTunes and never had any problems. So naturally I clicked "download and upgrade". Little did I know what trouble I got myself into. I'm not able to activate my iphone, and since I am overseas, I don't use my phone for everything except making calls, the phone is locked so I can't use any foreign sim card. I am very angry at Apple for doing something like that. Since I rely my iphone for all communications. Why would they ask me to upgrade then not allow me to activate my phone??????? This is not the first time Apple does something like that. Owning an Apple product should be headache free since we are paying a premium for it. But the reality is far from it.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.Hello Guys,
Even i updated my 3gs to IOS 6 from 4.1 today. N now its stuck on activation.
Plz help me -
After Updating my iPhone 3GS to iOS 6 i can't activate it
After updating my iPhone 3GS to iOS 6 i can not activate it.
I tried several times, with the original sim and with another three different.
What can i do?
Before iOS 6 the iPhone was working perfectly.

The original carrier was Rogers i bought it in Canada, but i used it in italy too with another sim card, without jailbreak.
I think that after updating it has been re-locked, but it doesn't work with the original sim too.
The message that i get on the iPhone is:
"Impossible to activate iPhone because server are not avaiable..."
On my Mac it say that i have to insert a valid sim card...
If it was legitimately unlocked then updating it will not re-lock it. It will be re-locked only if it was unlocked by hacking it.
That error message, however, does not mean it is locked. It means that iTunes could not verify the locked state because it could not communicate with Apple's activation database at gs.apple.com. There are common reasons that the server connection fails:
1. Your router, antivirus or firewall is blocking access to gs.apple.com.
2. You don't have a WiFi connection if you updated on the phone and not with a computer.
3. If you updated using your computer and it was used to hack, unlock or jailbreak some iOS device in the past (not necessarily the iPhone with the problem) and the network database on the computer is corrupted. -

Updated to iPhone 3GS to iOS 5.1 - stuff missing
I updated my husband's iPhone 3GS to iOS 5.1 just now, and a huge chunk of his photos are missing. I believe the last time this phone was synced with any library, it was his library on his old computer. So, of our two computers, neither would have been a good choice for updating, since neither could be considered the original one it was synced with. My question is this: when iTunes updates software, it backs up and restores first, so why were all of his photos not backed up and restored during this process? He had about 500-600 photos and now he only has 241. Also his playlists are gone, music was gone, a bunch of stuff is now gone. I had to put some of it back manually. Needless to say I am in a bunch of trouble for this - I have been bugging him for months to update his phone so we could iMessage each other. Now that I've done it, his phone is all F'd up.
Anything I can do to recover his photos? (Why did iTunes let them go to the ether????)
Also, why does Apple not have a chat support feature for simple questions that don't require charging us $29?? ggrrr...Sorry to hear about this but this has happened to me as well but I am not sentimental about anything and everything I need is backed up.
I not sure if it is on my system at all but I did notice if I restore from a backup that it brings it to a known state (e.g. Photos of that state) even if I did not actively chose Photos to be backed up. However I believe how albums was incorporated that somehow it affected how the camera roll behaved during the upgrade (hence missing photos).
Hence to repeat here is a link to a similar issue:

I am not able to access the App Store on my Iphone 3GS with IOS 6.01, however i can access the same on my laptop when i connect my phone to my PC. Any suggestions on this.

http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5209 might help you. An iPhone 4 can airplay content from apps that support airplay and iTunes but it cannot mirror. If your game does not have airplay in the app you cannot mirror it to the apple TV so I don't know if you can play just the music. You should have no problem playing your iTunes over airplay though.

Updating iphone 3gs to ios 5, is it safe or will i have issues?
I've been weary about updating my iphone 3gs from ios 4 (4.3.5 to be exact) to the new ios 5. I didn't have a problem sitting on an older update untill my phone started acting up and the only thing to do to fix it is to do a restore. itunes is forcing me to update in order to restore (didn't used to do that untill the new itunes update came out a while back...makes me angry) therefore causing a bit of concern with me. I do recall how the 3G acted when the ios 4 came out, and my worry is will the iphone 3Gs do something simmilar or worse. What are the experiances you guys have had with it, both good and bad, I'm curious. Also is it a good idea to update the 3gs to the ios 5 or not.
Hi I updated my 3 gs without any problem a d it works fine my wife now has it since I got my 4S
