I have had the digitizer changed on my iphone 3gs and put it back after the recvorey mode but it just keeps saying no sim installed please hellp
i have had my phone unlocked and decided to put a new digitizer on it today but it want come on i done the recovery thing and it keeps saying no sim installed disconnect and install sim but it still want come on please help
If you had your phone "unlocked in a shop" then your phone is most certainly jailbroken. Only the carrier to which a phone is locked can officially unlock the iPhone.
Since your phone is jailbroken, your warranty with Apple is void, and you have forfeited your ability to receive any assistance from Apple including from this forum. Terms of Use of thie forum prohibit the discussion of jailbroken phones.
You will have to look elsewhere on the internet for assistance. Unfortunately for you, there isn't a fix for your phone and I think you have permanently "bricked" your phone. You will likely not ever get it to work again.
In any case, best of luck to you.

i have an iphone 3gs and everytime i try to restore it on itunes it just keeps saying an unknown erroe has occured (29) can anyone help me with this??
Hello Laura,
Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities. I found an article that has information about Error 29:
Error 20, 21, 23, 26, 28, 29, 34, 36, 37, 40
These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. Follow Troubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
Also, check your hosts file to verify that it's not blocking iTunes from communicating with the update server. See iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > Mac OS X > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you have software used to perform unauthorized modifications to the iOS device, uninstall this software prior to editing the hosts file to prevent that software from automatically modifying the hosts file again on restart.

i am trying to unlock my ipod, i have done all the steps, disconnected and held the home button but it keeps saying try again. how do i get it to unlock
Connect the iOS device to your computer and try to make a backup
iOS: How to back up
Then restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased. Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.

My iphone 3G only gets wifi if its within 1 ft of the router. I have had the antenna replaced but its no better. I have restored to factory through iTunes but still not working. 3G signal is good
Try these steps. Check to see if your router has a firmware update. Go to the manufacturers website and check. If so, install. If not, reset the router. Disconnect from power for 30 seconds, plug it back in. Wait for it to boot up and then check your wifi.
Do a reset on the phone. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. After the phone restarts, check wifi.
If none of this helps, then make an appointment at the Apple store to have the hardware checked. If it is found to have a hardware defect, they will more than likely replace the device. Remember the final call is Apple's. -
Can a stolen Iphone be traced by using the serial number to see if it is still being used. I have had the handset locked but have been told it can be over ridden.
No.
Contact yoru carrier. They may be able to blacklist it. -
My iPod 5 can't connect to wifi. It connects to personal hotspots but no to my home wifi. I tried resetting the network settings but no change. I put the right password but it just keeps loading forever. What should I do??
Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tend to indicate a problem with your network.
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

I have an iPhone 3gs, and I downloaded ios 5.1 through iTunes, but now its telling me to activate my iPhone with a sim card, and I never had one.. Help!
I used an old sim card to try to activate my iphone 3gs, it didnt work, and it gave me this response:
We're sorry, the iPhone you connected may be damaged and cannot be activated for service. We reccomend you visit your nearest apple Store for more information. -

iOS 5.0.1 has been out for a couple months, if not longer.
There was no delay in releasing it in any country.
So what is your issue? -
I have a code from a radio station to download a free song however when I go to redeem and put in my code which is typed correctly it just keeps making put my password in over and over. Any advice?
You can create an App store account without a credit card, however that won't help you with updating your previous purchases. Apps are DRM protected, and tied to the account that was used to originally purchase them. There is no way to overcome this DRM protection or transfer them to another account(Itunes support can if you contact them). If you want to create an App store account without a credit card, follow the directions here, but bear in mind the DRM protection mentioned. If you use this account to download free apps, you will have to use this same account for all future updates:

i have restored my iphone 3gs and put my sim card in it but it will no longer activate. my power button is broken so i cannot turn it off. what can i do to fix this??
Then the SIM may have failed. Try removing and re-inserting it. If that doesn't fix it, you will have to get the SIM replaced by your carrier.

How do I upload for the first time? It just keeps saying updating 1 file. Frustrating!
How do I upload for the first time? It just keeps saying updating 1 file. Frustrating!
Hi Mike,
I would think (from your original post) that the document was created in Numbers '08. Numbers 3.2.2 will not open a Numbers '08 document. Hence the message to save in Numbers '09. It looks as though your colleague must export to Excel and send you the Excel version.

Why can't I download apps I have to pay for on to my new iPad Mini. I have had an Apple id for my iPhone for years and have downloaded app to it, no problems. When I try to download apps to my new iPad Mini, it tells me my billing info has to be confirmed. After confirming with same info that is already there it tells me to contact support, no help up to this point.
Could the credit card be expired?
Beyond that, what you need to do is contact iTunes support, they can tell you exactly what is wrong, none of us here can do that.
In the lower right corner of this page is a 'contact us' link. Click on that and you'll see a page full of info and links, one of which is iTunes support. -
Private number option is greyed out . I have tried the airplane mode but no change .
the option to allow or not the mobile number to be private is greyed out.
I have tried the airplane mode suggestion but no change. also the idea of taking the sim card out .
I am in spain and using I phone 5.You mean that "Show My Caller ID" is greyed out & you cannot switch it to off? If so, contact your carrier, as this setting is controlled by the carriers & some carriers do not permit it to be turned off.

I keep getting the message: Your account is not valid for use in the US Store. You must switch to the Canadian Store before purchasing. I have selected the Canadian store, but still keep getting the same message. Any suggestions?
Hi hi-liter,
Are you certain that you are signed onto iTunes & Apps in the Canadian store?
Settings>iTunes & App Stores, click on your AppleID, and then click on View AppleID. Type in your password, then click on Country/Region. Once there, follow the prompts and then select the Canadian Flag.
Hope that helps!
Cheers,

question
my entourage just dropped out and also left the doc.....I have tried to get it in applications but it just keeps going round in circles wanting to relaunch.
Where has it gone and how to I get it back....I have two years worth of emails and details on it which I use for the charity I run.
Help please....not too technical
thanks KarenThat's a Micrisoft product, not an Apple one, so you'll probably do better to post in the MS user-to-user forums here:
Office for Mac forums
Be sure to tell them which version of Office:Mac you have.

Optimization with logical database
Hi all. I have to optimize a report, and it is using BRM logical database to get data from BKPF and BSEG. Could you say to me if it is the faster way or if it would be better to use a SELECT? Thanks a lot. Marta.
