I have a 3gs, thats was "upgraded" with iPad software. No Longer Works

excuse my untech saviness when I write this:
I have a 3GS, it was jailbroken for me, but not only that, it was running on Ipad software. I was told the reason was at the time there werent any hacks for the 3GS software due to the 4 being out and the ipad as well. phone ran well no issues.
the problem:
finally have a computer, a iMac to be exact... Ive been syncing without problems. Today, I updated my iPhone. I was told not to. but forgot since I had the phone "worked on" last year, and really wasnt thinking.
the phone was restored to factory settings, I can get as far as the wi-fi set up. But I can not activate the cellular part of the phone. On iTunes, its saying there isnt a sim card installed. I took it out and reinstalled. still nothing. please help. thank you

I need to open iPhone that was wiped with Notes Traveler, appID not working

I have a phone (iphone5C) that I´ve sent a command "Wipe Device" using Notes traveler on Noted Domino 9.0.1. The phone is in locked state and unable to use the appID that was used to set the phone up. Think that there must be somekind of an software error in "Find my Iphone" or the cloud connect.
The phone asks for an appID s******@s*****.is and that is the correct appID. But when I log in , the phone says that the phone can not be unlocked using this email address.

That's not how an iPhone should have been wiped. I have no idea what Notes traveler is but perhaps you should contact the developer since it was their software used to send the command.

My mac needs to be updated...it tells me that it doesn't have any updates but i have several things that wont operate with the software it has on it....its has been several years since ive actually sat down to use this one so i know it is behind

desk top is seriously behind on software, i just wanna get it back up to date

You don't say what model of Mac Pro you have, but all will run 10.6, which is the base version required to run the App Store and progress to further versions. The first two models of Mac Pro (2006 and 2007) cannot go further than 10.7.
You can get a 10.6.3 retail DVD online at most vendors (eg amazon) and update to 10.6.8 after that using Software Update.

TS4337 I cannot edit/delete a reoccurring event that was synced with old Apple ID.

I have an event that was created with an old Apple ID/email. I am unable to edit or delete this reoccurring event. Please help.

In this case if you download it from his account, you will need to deleted and download it again by your account
also delete your backup from iTunes after you delete all the apps/games that you download it from your friend account
so in the next time you try to restore your backup, you will not face the same problem

A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

I have iphone 3gs. I upgraded its software through itunes but it stopped reading sim. Then I restored but since then iphone is locked with message to insert a carrier compatible sim. I've checked my sim is ok. How to restore the iphone?

I have iphone 3gs. I upgraded its software through itunes but it stopped reading sim. Then I restored but since then iphone is locked with message to insert a carrier compatible sim. I've checked my sim, it is ok. How to restore the iphone?

I'm going to make some guesses here. You bought your phone second hand. In other words, not from Apple and not from your carrier. What you got is a hacked phone that was originally carrier locked, most likely to AT&T in the US. You are NOT in the US. (If I get any of this wrong, please tell me).
What has happened is when you updated the software, it was re-locked to the original carrier. ONLY the carrier can authorize an unlock. If it is locked to AT&T, you're out of luck as they WILL NOT unlock an iPhone for any reason.
If it's locked to another carrier, you will have to find out what carrier that is (you can NOT tell by looking at the model number) and find out if they unlock iPhones. If you can't find out, or if they do not, then your only real option is to sell the phone and purchase one from a LEGITIMATE source.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
You can't install 9.2.1 or earlier on any Mac that is only Mac OS X bootable. In fact you need to use the restore disks which came with those Macs to install 9.2.2 on those Macs. 8.6 is only possible to install on Macs which came with 8.6 or earlier. The 9.1 disk may be useful for your 1999 PowerMac G4, but won't be of any use for a 2006 Powerbook G4.

Is it possible to recover my data from iCloud backup without working wifi? I have as many other upgraded my iPhone 4S to iOS 7.0.2 with the result that the Wi-Fi or Bluetooth no longer works. However, i can connect to iTunes via cable but there is wrong version of backup.

Answer is no.
If you want the iCloud backup you have to have n internet connection, thus WiFi.
The not working WiFi has happened with quite a number of users.
It is not exactly clear what is the cause but there are suggestions to clear it up:
Some people have had success by removing an apostrophe from the iPhone name. If your iPhone is called something like “John’s iPhone” then this might work. Go to Settings > General > About > Name and change it to something with no apostrophe.
Some people have reported success by putting the iPhone into Airplane mode and then going to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings, but the problem may return.
You could also try going to Settings > Control Center and disable Access on Lock Screen then turn your iPhone off and on again.
Make sure that your router firmware is up to date.
Try backing up your iPhone and then restoring it. Check how to factory reset an iPhone for details.
If nothing is working for you, try contacting Apple or take your iPhone into an Apple Store.
Succes, Lex

I have an ipod that is synced with an old PC, and now I have a Mac and I want the ipod to sync the photos on it with the Itunes on my Mac, but it says it was synced with another ipod. How can I accomplish this?

I have an ipod that is synced with an old PC, and now I have a Mac and I want the ipod to sync the photos on it with the Itunes on my Mac, but it says it was synced with another ipod. How can I accomplish this?

Is it the same user/iTunes account or...?
Syncing to a new computer should give you the opportunity to replace the exisiting contents with the new.

I have a nano with 500 songs that was synced with my old computer that crashed. New iTunes account does not have these songs in my library. I would like to move the music to the library so I can place them on my iPhone and/or iPad.

Just upgraded to Lion, can't open any pdf file downloaded from internet that was fine with Leopard. How can I overcome this obstacle ?

Just upgraded to Lion, can't open any pdf file downloaded from the internet that was fine with Leopard before. I just got a black screen when I clicked on a pdf icon on a given internet site, and same happened with several sites that I visited. How can I overcome this obstacle ?

Try two things with Safari not running:
1) Launch Adobe Reader, open its preferences, select the Internet category, and check the values under "Display PDF in browser using". If it's checked, try unchecking it.
2) Look in /Library/Internet Plug-Ins (at the top-level of your boot volume) for something names AdobePDFViewer.plugin. If you see such a file, try moving it to a folder named "Disabled Plug-Ins" (if such a folder exists) or onto the Desktop.
Then see how things work.

In QT, if you open the Inspector, what is the format? Post a screen shot of the info.
Did you try one of the Video Share presets?
If you've got high quality material to work with, uploading to YT or another video service should produce good results. They will re-encode whatever you give them. So as s long as you give them a sufficiently high quality file to start – and assuming it's h.264 – you should be good.

I would recommend you use a program called senuti that allows you to copy your songs over to a new computer from an iPod. Unfortunatlly you have to pay for the full version but it allows you to have 1000 free song capacity of copying over and a movie counts as the capacity of 1 song.
