I updated my iphone3gs to iOS5.0.1 and now it won't recognize my simcard.

I updated my Iphone3gs to iOS5.0.1 and now it won't recognize my SIM card. After updating, my phone went off and when I opened it,this message appeared; "SIM NOT VALID. Only compatible SIM cards from a supported carrier may be used to activate iPhone. Please insert the SIM card that came with your iPhone or visit a supported carrier's store to recieve a replacement SIM." I can't do anything with my phone! How do I get it to change back to normal? BTW, I don't if this helps, but I'm from the Philippines and my sim card is Smart.

Well yesterday I finally broke down and called apple service... I spent $29 and 1.5 hours on the phone, but the operator was finally able to fix my ipod. There was an issue with the itunes update, and it had corrupted. After uninstalling, installing, and updating several drivers, programs, and resolving other issues, my iPod finally works. Even better, the operator gave me a way to contact him again if I am having issues, free of charge. I would have much rather fixed this myself without spending the additional money, but I'll admit there was no way I could've done what he did, as there were certain orders to uninstalling Apple programs. My advice? Bite the bullet and call. They will get your iPad working again. (:

  • Updated iTunes to 10.3.1 and now it won't recognize my iPod

    I recently updated my iTunes to the latest version, and  now it won't recognize any of my apple products. I have a first gen iPod touch, 4th gen. ipod nano and 5th gen. ipod nano. The ipod does work still, and is chargeable through a dock or a AC adapter. I've gone through all of the five Rs and reinstalled itunes, and nothing is working. My ipod won't show up in windows either. When I plug in my 5th gen nano, windows says the driver did not install sucessfully and itunes won't even acknowledge I've plugged it in. Any help would be fantastic, I'd really appreciate it. I put new music on my ipod all the time, and not being able to do so *****.

    I have switch the setting on my iPhone to manually manage music and back and it still won't sync the new music

    cutwright 93,
    I have a 4s, and I've had that problem, too. I've tried every method mentioned on the boards. If Ellips's suggestion didn't work, try this, and please let me know if it worked:
    (I did the following while the phone was connected to my pc...if that makes a difference.)
    1. On the phone, go to Music.
    2. Click "More."
    3. Click "Shared."
    4. My phone lists "iPhone" and my iTunes Libary. Try clicking the name of your music library.
    5. Wait until the circle makes its loop.
    The synch still failed to complete, but all of my music was on my iPhone, again. Whew.

  • HT201210 Just updates itunes software on my windows PC and now it won't open because of Runtime error R6034 can you help?

    Just updated itunes software on my windows PC and now it won't open because of Runtime error R6034 can you help?

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

    Sorry. There's nothing anyone can do. The current version of the facebook app will not run on 4.2.1. The iPhone 3G won't run anything higher than 4.2.1. You're stuck.
    Maybe it's time to buy yourself a new iPod Touch.

  • I updated to Photoshop CC 2014 and now it won't recognize my Canon Scanner LiDE 210.

    I updated to Photoshop CC 2014 and now it won't recognize my Canon Scanner LiDE 210.
    Is there a fix for this? It worked with CS6 and CC just fine.

    Did you turn off the "show transform controls" option in the move tool?
    It sounds like you were using that previously.
    And you can always transform by using the Free Transform command (command/control T).

  • Updated to itunes 10.6.3 and now it won't recognize my iphone or ipad

    Itunes updated to 10.6.3 and now it will not recognize my iPhone or iPad.  I have tried uninstalling itunes and the amds following steps provided on the support site.  Still nothing.  My computer does show both as cameras though.  Any ideas?

    There has to be a fix without doing that.
    You're not using any sort of hub or extender are you? iTunes doesn't always like that.
    Tried different USB ports?
    what operating system do you have?

  • I just updated iTunes so I can use airplay and now it won't open

    I am trying to use airplay with my apple tv.  I updated both this morning and now itunes crashes as soon as it opens.  Is anyone else experiencing this?

    You could unplug your router than plug it back in.  You could turn the iPhone completely off and then back on.

  • Updated my firefox to 3.6.4 and now it won't even open?

    I just updated my firefox to firefox new version which i think is 3.6.4 on friday and now when i open that as an application, it won't just open...
    Strange enough - no error message, no pop up... It just jumps couple of times in the dock and then doesnt' open...
    Please help? is there a way to just use the older version?
    I am new to mac family

    I just upgraded to 3.6.6, which is working fine for me. From your hard drive, in applications, you might want to drag the Firefox icon to your trash, then empty the trash. Of course quit the application first if it happens to be working for some reason. Then download Firefox from http://www.mozilla.com/products/download.html?product=firefox-3.6.6&os=osx&lang= en-US , install it, and see if it now works. Sometimes things get a bit screwy on download/updates, so a fresh install can often fix the issue.
    If that doesn't work, you can do the same steps above, and download the prior release 3.6.4 from http://www.mozilla.com/products/download.html?product=firefox-3.6.4&os=osx&lang= en-US

    I did the update and now it will not connect to wifi.  I have tried reseting, forgetting the network then reconnecting etc...almost everything and it still will not work!!!

  • Updated to iTunes 10.1 and Now Computer Won't Recognize iPhone

    I updated to iTunes 10.1 last night after I plugged in my phone and iTunes prompted me to. After doing so, I restarted my computer, plugged my phone back in, and now I get the message "USB Device Not Recognized" and my phone doesn't show up in iTunes. It does, however, charge while plugged in. The computer just doesnt' recognize it. I've followed the Apple page on what to do if there are driver issues. So I've uninstalled iTunes and all the other components, reinstalled, opened Device Manager and uninstalled and reinstalled the driver from there, have tried to update, but when I do, the C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers folder does not exist.
    I am running Windows 7, and I have an iPhone 3Gs running iOS4.1.
    Anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this? I'm out of ideas.

    Well, I figured it out. My sync cable was the problem, apparently. I just used a different sync cable and it magically downloaded the driver with no problem and itunes popped right up. Figures, eh?
