I connected to itunes on my computer to and i updated my iphone and now the SIM is not recognised so I can only make emergency calls

iTunes offered to update my old iphone to version 3. something and now the phone doesn't work because it says the SIM is incompatible.
This is the sane SIM that was working fine before the update.
I even uploaded some photos.
How can i get back the old version of iphone software so that it accepts my SIM

The original owner has a new iphone and he gave me this one. All we did was put my SIM card in and it worked; I'm sure he didn't have to hack it to unlock it. He just had this old phone lying around.
How can he authorise unlocking it if he doesn't have the same SIM anymore -he'smoved countries a few times.

Just a thought, but maybe consider returning the device. Seems it might be a bit too complicated for you.

I have iPhone 3G, iTunes 10.5, offered to upgrade the version of the phone, after which you can only make emergency calls. Help! ! ! I'm in a panic!

Yesterday iTunes 10.5 offered to upgrade the iPhone 3G to the version of I don't know, most likely to the new. After that, the screen of the cable and the icon iTunes, you can only dial emergency calls. What to do? How to get back to the previous version, or at least to do so would the phone began to work? I'm from Russia, so you need the Russian version. Help please! Describe all of the items what to do... I'm in a panic!

Sounds like this was a hacked iPhone...hacked to unlock it so you could use it where you live. One of the big downsides to hacking an iPhone, to unlock it, is that updating software or restoring the phone will re-lock it to the carrier it was originally locked to. This appears to be what has happened to you. You have two choices to fix things: 1. Get the phone officially unlocked, or 2. Re-hack it to unlock it(sorry, can't be discussed here). Good luck.

HT201401 my iphone will not boot up with 02 simm in itune can only make emergency calls done factory reset still not working

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 carriers store to receive a replacement sim card

So have you done as the message advises and visited a store to get a replacement SIM?
Did you purchase the phone on a contract with O2 or with another provider?

Where are you and where did you get the phone. This sounds like a classic symptom of someone who bought an iPhone that originated in the U.S. which was then hacked so it would run on a carrier network other than AT&T... Then, when updating the phone, it becare re-locked to AT&T.
If that's what happened, you now own a paperweight. AT&T will NOT unlock them for any reason.
If this isn't the case, please clarify where you are, what carrier you have and where you got the phone so we can begin troubleshooting.

The ! sign before the song means that the actual song is no longer on your computer and/or iTunes library.

WE have 2 Ipod classics and 1 IPod touch. One of the classics is not recognised by itunes library under devices and cannot be synchrinised with a playlist

We have 2 Ipod classics and 1 Ipod touch. One of the classics is not recognised by the itunes library and therfore canoot be synchonised with a playlist.

The second shuffle cannot be recognized by this computer ("USB Device Cannot be Recognized") so I don't think I'm able to reset it using that (it says "iPod is not recognized by iTunes, but is *visible in My Computer or in Device Manager* on a Windows PC, or in Apple System Profiler on a Mac.")
Like I said though, it works on other computers just fine and is visible so I don't quite understand what's up with this computer.

I have a 2011 tahoe. My bluetooth functioned properly until I updated my iPhone. Now the iPhone connects to the Tahoe but when I try to call a number it does not work. Either it cals the number and has no outgoing or incoming sound or it just says it iis unable to complete the call.

I would check with the Auto dealer where the vehicle was purchased to check and see when the bluetooth software was last updated on your vehicle. With the vehicle being a 2011 and if the software has not been updated since the dropping of IOS 7 then obviously there will be software incompatibilities.
Good luck.

Hi,
Connect your iPhone to your computer. Launch iTunes. Make sure you see your iPad under Devices on the left side of the iTunes window.
Now click the Summary tab from the menu and click Check for Update.

My computer shut off while updating my iPhone and now it is frozen...

I re-started my computer and it said it was updating but it seem to be frozen because both iTunes and my iPhone have had the same screens for like an hour. I haven't unplugged it yet because I'm not sure if I should... Can someone help me??

If it has been an hour it is stuck. Disconnect it, reboot your computer, and follow the directions here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

HT5610 how do i download my music from itunes to my itunes windows 8 computer (music is already on ipod, iphone and ipad)

I have my music in itunes loaded on my ipad, ipod and iphone - how do i get it to my new PC with windows 8?

You can download music previously purchased from the iTiunes store as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519.
Even easier would be to authorize your computer for the Apple ID(s) used to purchase the music (in iTunes Store>Authorize This Computer), the connect one of your devices to your computer, open iTunes and go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases. Note: if you have other music on your device that was not purchased from the iTunes store, this will remove it and replace it with the music that is in your iTunes library now.

I have music on my itunes on my computer, but when I sync my iphone or ipod the items don't transfer.

There is music on my computer in itunes, but when I sync my iphone or ipod, it does not transfer.

Unplug your Iphone out of your computer and replug it back in. It took me several times before I could do this

Try
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
Before you reinstall the Apple software, also remove iCloud vi Control Panel Remove programs. The reinstall the Apple programs
New cable and different USB port?
Runs this and see if the results help with determine the cause
iTunes for Windows: Device Sync Tests
Try on another computer to help determine if computer or iPod problem
