I need to reboot phone after PIN entered incorrectly. I do not have my SIM card; travelling overseas.
I am travelling in Amsterdam from Australia without my SIM card. Daughter enetred PIN incorrectly and now phone is locked. How can I get it rebooted and working again?
Normally you would do these things if you lose your passcode
LOST PASSCODE
You may be able to reset the passcode by restoring the device.
Connect the device to the computer with which you normally sync and open iTunes.
Note: If iTunes prompts you to enter the passcode, try another computer that you have synced with. Otherwise, go to "If you have never synced your device with iTunes", below.
Right-click the device in the left column and select Back up.
When the backup is complete, select Restore.
When finished, restore from your most recent backup.
Otherwise read this
If that doesn’t work you will need to perform a factory restore to remove it. Or read:
But without a sim card you will not be able to activate the phone Good Luck

I have an iPhone4 which I am not using (I upgraded to the 5) from AT&T. However, I am international and want to use the 4 abroad. I am trying to unlock it, and I got the confirmation email from AT&T claiming that I could unlock it 24 hours. Problem is, I do not have my old SIM card. I threw it away thinking it was useless, since now I have another SIM card (same carrier—AT&T) but for the iphone5. Is there any way I can unlock my phone without that SIM card?
You do not need that particular SIM card, but you do need a micro-SIM card in it to process the unlock in iTunes.
You can use any micro-SIM though - beg or borrow one for the few minutes you'll need it to restore the phone as new in iTunes and process the unlock. Once it is unlocked and activated, you no longer need the micro-SIM in it to use it effectively as an iPod Touch. The unlock and activation processes do nothing to the SIM itself - it just needs to be present for those processes to complete. -
I need to update my phone, but my computer broke, and do not have a new one. can I use someone else computer to go through with the update if i log on with my itunes account or Is there a chance of loosing all my data, ie: music/photos? And if all else fails can i go to the apple store and have them update my phone?
Update to what? The 3G you want to update? You have ios3 or 4 on that 3G?
Go to a friend, authorize that pc.

Make a backup of your stuff (from the phone. apps/photos/music/blabla). Update your phone. The phone will restore the backup automatically. -
Actually, I wanted to let my son use my old iphone 3g as an ipod now that I upgraded to the iphone 4.
But it has continued to shut down and say that needed to restore it.
The last time I did it, it's now saying that I need to have a SIM card in order for it to work.
Now, I'm not wanting him to use it as a phone or for texting, so I just assumed this would work. But it's been very challenging.
Any thoughts on what I need to do so he can use it as an ipod?
Thanks!Using an iPhone without a wireless service plan

I bought iphone4 in china, the ss number is 82044JAVA4S, and it broken when I was in USA. After I sending to your company. You send me a new phone, but this phone is locked phone. I can't use it. Because my sim card is from china, so I think you shoulu give me a unlocked one.
I understand your frustration.
Fortunately for you, you can make your new phone to work; but to do so, you have to call your Chineese carrier and give them the IMEI number found on the SIM card of your iPhone.
They will then activate it and you will be able to use it.
It's NOT a matter of locked/unloked phone; it's a matter of activating (pairing) a SIM card with a phone !
Just call you Chineese carrier and have them register your SIM card with your new iPhone and you will be back in Business ! -
why do i need to register providing after creating my apple ID if not i cant have any download on my ipad

Try removing your sim card, then reseating it:

When I went to open creative cloud, it said it needed an update, but after I updated it now can not get it to open up
what do you see when you try to open it?

I backedup my iphone 4 to the cloud before upgrading to an iphone 5. I also backedup my iphone 5 to icloud. I can see both phone's backups side by side on the my screen on icloud. But it will not allow me to restore the iphone 4 backup to my iphone 5. I need contacts from the iphone 4 backup but I do not have that phone anymore and icloud will only let me restore the iphone 5's backups to my iphone 5. Is there anyway to get the contacts from my previous iphone 4 backup?
You should be syncing your contacts with an app on your computer or cloud service (iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo, etc), and not relying on a backup. If you haven't been doing this, start now and then restore your old backup. You will then be able to sync the new contacts back into the phone. However, you will lose all messages, etc newer thant the backup.

. I've just bought a new iPhone 6 in miami apple store as a unlocked phone. But now it shows the message that my phone is locked and I can't use my russian sim card. What I need to do to unlock it?
The device is locked to Verizon wireless not a Russian cell provider.
You can use Verizon here in the states. Get a Verizon Sim.
In out of the country use, pop in that Sim and it should work. However Verizon does not unlock for use in the USA.
And you must be a Verizon customer to get it unlocked to use in other countries. Apple claims it will work in other countries.
Good Luck -
I accidentally erased my phone from Find my Iphone App and I have a sim lock on my phone - now it wont let me restore. any ideas?
When I try to connect to itunes, It states ''The sim card of this phone is PIN locked - please enter the PIN code of your SIM card and connect again to iTunes" however I don't have the option to enter the Pin code on my phone as on my phone screen it states "your iphone could not be activated because the activation server is temporaily unavailable"
PLEASE HELP AND THANK YOUWith a sim lock,
you'll have to contact your carrier for the PUK code, as described here:

I have the iPhone 5 and I keep getting a no sim card message. I have had my phone for over a year now so I know I have a sim card. How can I fix this because it doesn't let me get calls now.
Try resetting the phone. Hold the home and power lock button until the Apple logo appears.If that does not work, turn the phone off and take the SIM out and then put it back in.
If that still does not work, you may have a defective SIM, in which case you will need a new one from your carrier. -
I want to change my account payment method to none and I do not have a credit card yet.Plus, iTunes gave a message saying that I need to review my account and when I go there,the none payment method is hidden.
Assuming that you want help and that you aren't just copying-and-pasting that thread's title and posting a link to it, then have you tried the steps on the post that I linked to in my first reply on that thread ?
If you don't get the 'none' option when trying those instructions then you will need to enter credit card details before you will be able to use the account - when you've entered credit card details you should get the 'none' option and be able to remove your card details.
Or you can create a new account, and follow, exactly, the steps on this page when creating it' : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
