I was trying to upgrade my iphone 4 to the isos 5, everything was done on the PC. After it was done i thought it was working,but the screen went blank and this wat it says. SIM not Valid... please help me, that's the only phone i have.
If your iPhone was hacked to be unlocked to use with any carrier's SIM card, you just re-locked the iPhone to the carrier the iPhone was sold as carrier locked when new.

I get a message that says, the required operation requires elevation <run as administrator>. I am the owner of this laptop and I have administrative authority, why does this show and how can I fix this. Itunes store is the ONLY program I am having trouble with.Very , very frustrating.!!!!!!!!!!!!
I will assume you're using Windows Vista-7:
Try these steps instead:
1 Click start, and in the start menu search, type "cmd" (without the quotes) DO NOT PRESS ENTER!
2. Right click the "cmd" search result
3. Click "Run as Administrator"
4. If you get a pop up message, click yes or continue
5. Type the command in the window as you did above.
In an effort to try to prevent programs from messing with your computer, programs don't run under your administrator account unless you tell them to or they ask. This gives the Administrator (elevated) privelleges that you need. -
Not much more to add actually ... I went to check earthquake info, next thing I know I am back at the kitchen table listening to my father in law speaking in German so I could not understand his insults lol
Welcome to Apple Discussions Dathanb

As you are a first time poster, you seem to have missed the text at the top of this forum that says:
Please Read This Before Posting Here
If your question concerns a hardware or software technical issue, please do not post in this forum
Go to the main Apple Discussions page, select an appropriate product category and follow the links until you reach the correct forum for your post, then click the POST NEW TOPIC link. Because your post doesn't indicate was OS you are using on your iMac, I can't give you a link to the most appropriate forum.
Basically, though, the version of TechTool on the AppleCare disks is not compatible with newer versions of OS X and/or Macs (I can't remember which). If you don't get a satisfactory response by posting in the appropriate iMac or OS X forum, I suggest you take your iMac to the geniuses at the Apple Store. You can set up an appointment time for the same day online before you leave home.

K, so i got a new sim for my iphone 4 with ios7 (vodaphone) and it says 'SIM Not Valid' help?
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.
Thats what it says on itunes. need help. someone tell me why this is happening and hot to fix it!!!Associate your mobile number with your Apple ID, if you haven't already done so.
Sign out of iMessage on the Mac:
Messages ▹ Preferences ▹ Accounts ▹ Sign out
and on the iPhone:
Settings ▹ Messages ▹ Send & Receive ▹ Apple ID ▹ Sign out
Then, on the phone, tap
Use Your Apple ID for iMessage
Sign back into iMessage on both devices and test. If there's no change, you may have to wait for a change in network conditions.

Good morning
I am trying to upgrade my iPhone via my macbook but the following message keeps coming up and the download does not work
"There are purchased items on the iPhone “Mark Price’s iPhone” that have not been transferred to your iTunes library. You should transfer these items to your iTunes library before updating this"
Please advise how I can transfer these files, I am not sure what files are in question.
I've only had the MacBook a couple of days, I am PC savvy but this is all new to me so please keep it as simple as possible. I am a brit based in Bahrain.
Regards
Mark Priceokay I've done everything regarding the transfer process (via file>transfer purchases) and syncing, so everything on my iPhone device seems to have been transferred to my iMac... however, I still get that message ("There are purchased items on the iPhone..."), trying to upgrade the iOS Have tried several times the same process of hitting transfer purchases via file, but nothing seems to make that message go away! Would have been nice to know which files I actually do need to transfer, which I don't get any info on of course...
Starting to get really annoying this thing.. Any smart suggestions what's going on? -

I have 4s iPhone , I download the iOS 7. Now the front receiver microphone is not working , please help me that how to fix the problem.
I live in South Africa, and I had the same problem with my iPhone 4.
After weeks of frustration and swearing, I was in the process of restoring my phone to a previous iOS. To do that you need to turn the "Find my iPhone" option off, since i turned it off, my problem was solved. No need to repair anything or revert back to old iOS.
***** that i cant use Find my iPhone, but atleast i can use my phone. -

I have a 4S and just tried updating to the latest iOS version and my phone went into recovery mode and iTunes says I need to restore to factory settings. Anyone know how I can fix my phone without losing all my content?
You would only be able to restore to a backup to iCloud or iTunes:
Restore from Backup

Iphone 4s saying sim not valid i just got the phone is have unlock code what do I do
Just got an iPhone 4s have the unlock code but the screen is just saying sim not valid how do I unlock
There is no such thing as an "unlock code" for an iPhone. If someone sold you one you have been scammed. iPhones are unlocked by the carrier the phone is locked to updating the master iPhone database maintained by Apple.

Updated to ios5 and now Iphone says "Sim not valid"
I updated my Iphone to ios5 last night and the install went smoothly and worked fine until i went to turn it on and reactivate it after the restore. after i put in all the settings on the opening screens it went to try and activate the phone and it said "sim not valid". It says that your sim card cannot have a pin code which could be the problem but i dont think i ever set a pin code and it seems like this is a really ******** thing to get in the way. Do they ever tell you to disable your pin code during the install? I never saw anything but i was doing other stuff at the time so i was distracted. Anyone know how to fix this besides wasting more of my time by going to the nearest apple store?
me tooo...held up with th same problem with iphone 4........sim not valid.......dunno wat to do....

I restored my I phone 4 using Itunes, after that I can't access the icon any more I only got a message that says " ( Sim not Valid.) Only compatible SIM cards from supported carrier may be used to activate iphone. I need some proffesional help. Thanks
"We're Sorry, Activation Server Temporarily Unavailable, contact Customer Care, Sim not vaild?"
99.9% of the time, the cause of this issue is the fact the phone was jailbroken/hacked to unlock it for use on networks other than the network the phone was originally locked to. Apple maintains a database of officially unlocked iPhones, and when Apple's servers detect phones such as yours, activation stops & you get the message you got.
So, either get a sim card from the carrier your phone was originally locked to, or get it officially unlocked, if you want to activate it. Because it appears that it was not officially unlocked. -
Replacement iPhone saying sim not valid.
I just recieved my replacement iphone 4 today, when I turn it on it says insert sim to activate, when I do that it says sim not valid but on top left displays vodaNZ(as im from nz). Keeps saying insert the sim your iphone came with. It doesn't say activate your ipone using apple id and stuff like that. All it says is insert sim to activate. Could it be a corrupt sim or hardware issue? Help Please!
Try a different sim if you have one and see if that works. If it does then the sim is no good.
