I need help. I have done everything I possibly can.. o

ok first things first. My husband bought a iphone3gs. We put the tmobile sim card in, set it up as a new phone, it worked fine for a week or so. Today I woke up and noticed it said  NO SERVICE. Thinking if I restore it, it might fix the problem. Well now when I get to the activation screen it will get to the screen where it says "insert valid sim card.  On my itunes page it says the sim card inserted in this iphone does not appear to be supported..
Ok first off how did it work on tmobile for a week or so and all of a sudden it is not compatible. It is AT&T phone. It had to be unlocked to even work for that short time.. I thought once a iphone is unlocked it is unlocked forever?  I have tried to restore it 5 or so times and I get the same thing.
HELP

So it was not offically unlocked...
Would appear to be the situation as Only the Carrier the Phone is Locked to can Unlock it...
That being the case....

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

  • Ipod nano 3rd gen unit is locked, though never have done a manual lock on it. Screen is lit and lock button shows.  Have latest itunes, but nothing syncs.  Have done everything on supports pages including toggle hold button, etc. Screen stays locked. Help

    ipod nano 3rd gen unit windows xp.   Nano is locked, though never have done a manual lock on it. Screen is lit and lock button shows.  Have latest itunes, but nothing syncs.  Have done everything on supports pages including toggle hold button, etc. Screen stays locked. Help please.

    Sounds like the hold switch is broken, meaning you'll need to have your iPod serviced/replaced either by Apple or a third party repair company.

  • I can't connect to wifi network and bluetooth on iPhone 4S.  Need help.  Have already rebooted everything and reset network setting

    I can't connect to wifi network and bluetooth on iPhone 4S.  Need help.  Have already rebooted everything and reset network setting

    I have the same problem; tried a phone restore, both restoring data and setting up as new phone with factory settings, reset all settings, re-boot, remove apostrophe, put in fridge, you name it!
    I think there's quite a few iphone 4s users with the same problem!
    I called Apple they said it's a hardware problem, but it has worked for nearly two years; they say go to the Apple store and they can provide a replacement phone for approx. £150!
    I've been into the O2 shop where I bought it and they knew the problem exactly; said they had sent a few phones off for repair and had them back awith a report they cannot fix it because it's a software problem!
    An assistant in the shop had the same issues; logic says it's a software problem and hopefully Apple will fix it with a patch but at the moment they seem to be avoiding everyones comments!
    If anyone else has any ideas these would be appreciated?

  • How can i get the homepage i want to remain the perminate homepage? I have done everything it tells you to set homepage and it only saves it while the current browser is open. When I close out browser and reopen it is gone.

    When i set the homepage of my choice it will only remain until i close out the browser. once i reopen the browser it is no longer there. The past version of firefox would keep the homepage of choice. I have done everything that is necessary to set homepage and it will not save it. What needs to be done?

    Which web page is getting reset as the homepage?
    You probably picked up some malware, maybe as a result of installing that My Web Search Plugin Stub for 32-bit Windows.
    Install, update, and run these programs in this order. They are all free for personal use, but some have limited functionality in the "free mode" - but those are features you really don't need to find and remove the problem that you have. <br />'''''(Not all programs detect the same Malware.)'''''

  • I have done everything I can in all discussions. Itunes store not working.  I have Windows 7 , 64 bit.

    I have read all the replies to the "Itunes store not working".  I have done everything I can to use any of the solutions.  This is my 5th day.  I give up.  Need some help.  As I can see there seems to be a lot of those problems.

    I spent some time on the phone this morning with Apple. Here's a link they sent me: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
    It's more than just uninstalling Itunes; there are 5 other apps that have to be uninstalled and in specific order. This particular Knowledge Base article applies to Windows Vista or Windows 7. For other Windows versions you'd have to look up the article for Windows XP.
    Hope this helps.

  • My wife and i have an iPhone 5 6.1.2 firmware.. We both are having horrible wifi signals.  We have done everything we can.. What update will fix this? I get full bars on my iPad 2 through my whole house.. Be standing right beside the router with iPhone NO

    My wife and i have an iPhone 5 6.1.2 firmware.. We both are having horrible wifi signals.  We have done everything we can.. What update will fix this? I get full bars on my iPad 2 through my whole house.. Be standing right beside the router with iPhones and it cuts in and out.. Drops from 3 wifi bars to 1

    I am having the same problem with brand new Ipad Mini at my house.
    It connects to the WiFi fine - but will not pull an IP address in DHCP mode, or if I set all the IP info statically - it still will not get any network access.
    This doesn't look like a WiFi issue, as it does connect and is seen by the WiFi Access Point.  All the normal WiFi fix stuff doesn't help.
    - Using a Dlink DAP-2553 which is less than 2 months old. 
    Other devices connect fine, including Ipad 2.
    This same Mini worked fine at another house and also connected to a mobile hotspot fine....so seems to be some weird IP issue with maybe this Access Point or maybe the older Router that I have (older Netgear)?
    I am actually a network engineer and still have not been able to find a solution.  Both the Ipad Mini and the Dlink WAP have the latest firmware loaded.
    Wondering if anyone has found a solution to this problem.

    Try to do a reset, if it doesn't work try remove recently added apps this may solve your problem ( like google app because it has happened with me)
    Take a look at apps using your location service in privacy, it can cause battery draining.
