I put my sim card into a new iphone and tried to change it back to the old one and now the phone is locked. It's asking for a passcode and I didn't have a passcode set up.
Hi! I need help! I put my sim card into a new iphone (3g) and then tried to put it back into the old one to get my contacts from it. Now the old iphone is locked and it's asking for a passcode, but I never set up a passcode on it. Has anyone experienced this or does anyone know what to do? Thanks!
Not sure if this applies to your region, but in Australia the SIM password is often written on the "credit card" sized plastic card that the SIM was provided to you with the phone by the telco. Do you still have this? It could be in the iPhone box?

I inserted my SIM card into my new iPhone but none of my contacts appear :(
I inserted my SIM card into my new iPhone but none of my contacts appear on the phone. Do we have a solution?
The iPhone does not support importing or transferring contacts stored on a SIM card to the iPhone's address book nor storing contacts on the SIM card activated with AT&T. It is recommended to use the new SIM card included and pre-installed with the iPhone for the AT&T activation.
Are these contacts not available in the Address Book application if you have a Mac or in the Outlook address book if you have a Windows PC and use Outlook as your email client?
If not, you can take this SIM card to an AT&T store and for a small fee or maybe you can talk the store into doing this for free, they will extract the contacts from the SIM card into a format you can use to import the contacts into the Address Book on a Mac or into the Outlook address book on a Windows PC. -
I have my ipad notes linked to gmail and suddenly disappeared when I put the sim card into a new iphone, the funny thing is that almost all disappeared except 4 and with different dates up to two years. Why did this happen? No way to recover them?
Wow, Karan Taneja, you've just embarrassed yourself on a worldwide support forum. Not only is your post ridiculous and completely inappropriate for a technical support forum, but it also shows your ignorance as to whom you think the audience is. Apple is not here. It's users, like you.
If you would have spent half the time actually reading the Terms of Use of this forum that YOU agreed to by signing up to post, as you did composing that usesless, inappropriate post, you (and the rest of us on this forum) would have been much better off. -
I have an ipad 2, just downloaded the new upgrade 7.03, and now it is asking for a passcode. I do not have a passcode. Anyone have any idea how I can get around this or is there a default passcode?
I called Apple Support and a supervisor helped resolve this for me on my iPad. I suggest calling them for help as this is obviously an issue with the iOS 7 update - she helped me without charge. I could be missing something in my upcoming description, so do not take this as complete - call them.
I had to update iTunes on my Mac Air to the latest version, and I had an iCloud backup from the day I updated to iOS7. Have iTunes open but do NOT connect your iPad yet. Shut down the iPad. Then press/hold the Home key on the iPad while you connect the USB from the iPad to the computer (an image of the USB cable appeared on the iPad). Follow the prompts in iTunes to restore and then backup using iCloud. When the iPad rebooted again to do the backup install, I got the same pass code issue and iTunes would not recognize the iPad without entering a pass code. I disconnected the iPad, turned it off, pressed the Home key while connecting the USB cable. When I did the restore and backup from iCloud the second time, it worked without the pass code issue occurring. -
When I make an outgoing call the recipient cannot hear me very well as though the volume was turned down very low. However when I activate the speakerphone the recipient can hear me loud and clear. I transferred my SIM Card into a new device only to be subjected to the exact same problem. I have reset the phone clearing all the data and updated to the most recent software version available from itunes; and still no improvements. The results of my switching to a new phone would indicate a software issue.
Does anyone out there have this problem and how can it be fixed?
Thanks,
TeresaTry removing the screen protector that is covering the microphone.
Scratch that; wrong answer. I thought you meant you had trouble hearing. -

Just back it up to your computer using iTunes By connecting it to your compute, launching iTunes, then going to File>Devices>Back Up (transfer purchases of prompted). Then restore the iTunes backup to your new phone.

The SIM card inserted in this iPhone does not appear to be supported.
The SIM card that you currently have installed in this iPhone is from a carrier that is not supported under the activation policy that is currently assigned by the activation server. This is not a hardware issue with the iPhone. Please insert another SIM card from a supported carrier or request that this iPhone be unlocked by your carrier. Please contact Apple for more information
what can in do?Well unfortunatly that advice does not always work. I bought a unlocked iphone4 from apple several years ago and went to att on a no contract basis. Six months later the phone crashed while updating the operating system. Apple replaced the phone with a new one. All is fine till I got a iphone5 and gave te phone to my cousin. The phone is now locked to att but att says the IMEI number is not a valid ATT IMEI and therfore cant unlock it. Apple says there is nothing They can or are willing to do so now I am stuck for a 600.00 phone that can't be used.
If anyoun knows a way naround this situation mI would appreciate a heads up. -

i just got new iphone 4 but it tells me to restore the phone wen i plug in my computer.. then half way thru the restoring on the "firmwear" part it stops an says error "9?? wats the go there?? its driving me insane...
Let's first define what "new" means. Was it purchased from Apple or your authorized carrier, and it came in a shrink wrapped box? Or is it only new to you, and you don't know its history?
Assuming it truly is a new, never used phone, Error 9 means that the USB connection to the phone is intermittent. Do the following:
Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes (10.4) - if not, download and install it from htp://www.apple.com/itunes
Reboot your computer
Disable your antivirus and firewall software
Disconnect all USB devices except keyboard and mouse
Connect the cable to a USB port directly on your computer, not to a hub; do not connect the other end to the phone yet (If your computer is a desktop or tower and has ports on both front and back us a port on the back)
Launch iTunes
Connect the phone to the other end of the cable
If the phone is recognized in iTunes proceed with the Restore
If the phone is NOT recognized by iTunes:
Disconnect the cable from the phone (leave connected to the computer)
Hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons until the screen goes blank, then IMMEDIATELY release the SLEEP button but continue holding the HOME button
Connect the cable to the phone while holding the HOME button
Wait for iTunes to recognize the phone, then release the HOME button (this may take several minutes of holding)
If you still have a problem after these steps take the phone to Apple for exchange. -
I have an iPhone 4 that I just updated today to ios 6, now when I go to back up the phone to my PC, it says it can't because I don't have the latest version of iTunes. But i have iTunes 10. Please advise.
There is an updated version number 10.7.0.21 that is available if you go to the iTunes link here on Apple.com. It won't show up under Apple Software Update and if you check for updates via iTunes it likely won't show either.

I am looking to upgrade to a new iPhone. Is it possible to then disable the phone capabilities of my old phone so I can give it to my teen for use as an iTouch? or does the old iPhone just become unusable which would be such a waste.
Thank you.macmargaret01 wrote:

I have an iphone 5. It has a "no sim" in upper left corner. I removed it, placed it back, restored the phone and now I can't get past the "activation" part. It's telling me to insert a SIM w/out a PIN lock. HELP!!!!!
Hi Michellebone,
I'm sorry to hear you are having this issue with your iPad. Given your description of the issue and the symptoms you are seeing, it sounds like you may need to have your iPad evaluated or serviced. You may find the following page helpful:

Can I use my old ATT/iphone sim card in a new iphone?
So, I want to get a new iPhone and put my first AT&T/iPhone sim card, the card that came in my first iPhone into.....will this work? normal activation thru iTunes? and tips, tricks, suggestions, etc.
thanks in advance,
EricYou have to activate the iPhone because you have to active your iPhone account. This isn't just another phone that you can switch SIM cards between and it work.
I don't know what "back door" you're talking about but I hope that you would know by now the iPhone is not another regular cell phone. But it most certainly does work with any AT&T SIM.
