I have contacted at&t and they did what was nessary to unlock my phone was told to backup my phone and did that so know I just need to restore my phone with ituens which ituenes will not let me do cause I get message can not connect to cause of no internet connection wich is not true cause other wise you would not have gotten this
Try restoring the iPhone to factory settings. If you are having difficult restoring, put the iPhone into Recovery Mode and see if that then works:

If not, or if a restore to factory settings does not fix the problem, then your iPhone may have a hardware problem. You can only get the iPhone serviced by Apple in Canada, so you will have to take the iPhone there or send it to someone you know in Canada who can get the iPhone serviced and send it back to you. The only option for getting service in Pakistan would be to pay some unauthorized repair shop to attempt a repair, after which Apple will no longer provide any service even in Canada.

i was trying to update my iphone and it downloaded the software but when it went to install it it turned off and wont turn back on and says i need to connect to itunes and ive tried but itunes doesnt recognize its there
Connect in recovery mode and restore, as described in this article:

If my carrier unlocked my iPhone and it needs to be replaced under warranty. Do apple sends an unlocked phone. Or I have to get it unlocked again from carrier.
Once Carrier unlocks any iPhone, this is entered in to Apples data base. Therefore, as replacement under warranty you get unlocked iPhone.

Try popping out the SIM card and turn off the phone.
Pop in the SIM card once again and turn on the phone, make sure that the SIM card is placed and seated perfectly in the tray!

Hogwash, as such is impossible.
Doesn't matter though, as you won't be able to use this phone, & Apple can't/won't help you. -
I just tried updating my iPhone 4GS and it says I have an error, and need to "restore" the phone before I can use it with iTunes??? I don't want to lose the pictures on it! What can I do to save them?

No, sorry... did not happen becasue no such model exists.
If the device is in recovery mode, any data on it is already lost.
The only options are:
Restore the device to get it functional.
Enjoy the paper weight.
For what reason did you attempt to update the device without first ensuring that your data was safe, meaning backing up the device and copying important pictures/videos taken with the device to a computer? -

I am trying to sync my iphone and it has frozen with the itunes symbol on my phone?
I am trying to sync my iphone and it looks like it has crashed and the itunes symbol is frozen on my screen, I have tried to switch off my phone but it will not work, anyone help?
Your getting that error because one or more of the files you are trying to sync cannot be found. You need to make sure your iTunes library is in fact accessible. This error is common with folks that store their library or parts of their library on an external drive,

Tried to unlock my iphone now it wont turn on
Hi, I recently tried to unlock my iphone using a programme off the internet. All seemed fine until it prompted me to restore it and since then all I get is the usb into itunes logo. I've tried to restore it on itunes but it comes up error. I've tried re-installing the unlocking software but still nothing. Is there anything I can do?
Terms of Use of this forum prohibit the discussion of jailbroken phones.
By jailbreaking your phone using a program off the internet, you have voided your warranty, and have forfeited any right to support by Apple, including this forum. It's very possible (and in fact, very likely) you'll never get your phone working again. Hope it was worth the try.

Why do Orange and EE blame Apple for the delays in unlocking my iPhone. 10 months now. What is the exact process that these companies have to go through to unlock an iPhone and is Apple in any way to blame for the delays.
Indeed how long does Apple take to carry out its part of the process.
It seems to me that Orange are just trying to stall me despite the fact that I am out of contract with them now. I originally paid to have the phone unlocked back last November. This was never done.
I have phoned them numerous times over the last two months but still they haven't done it. Can anyone advise me and has anyone had similar problems with them.
ThanksI certainly understand that only Orange can unlock my phone. My annoyance is that they blame Apple so I am keen to know what exactly is Apple's involvement.
I presume that Orange have to tell Apple that the phone has been authorised for unlocking by Orange and that Apple then notes that in some way on iTunes so that the user can then complete the process on iTunes.
What I would like to know is how much time Apples part in this process takes.
I would also like to make contact with others who have had similar problems.
Many thanks -

Iphone 3gs needs to restore as I cannot turn phone on but cannot restore as unknown error 2001 keeps coming up.
I have tried several times on different computers. Any help or ideas? ThanksHi there Katherine,
I have an article here that addresses this error code and can give you a few more troubleshooting suggestions for this issue:
Resolve specific iTunes update and restore errors
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694
Check USB connections
If there’s an issue with the USB port, cable, dock, or hub, or if the device becomes disconnected during restore, try troubleshooting the USB connection, then troubleshooting your security software.
Common errors: 13, 14, 1600-1629, 1643-1650, 2000-2009, 4000, 4005, 4013, 4014, 4016, “invalid response”, and being prompted to restore again after a restore completes.
To narrow down the issue, you can also change up your hardware:
Use another USB cable.
Plug your cable into a different USB port on your computer.
Try a different dock connector (or no dock).
Add (or remove) a USB hub between your device and computer.
Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, with no routers, hubs, or switches.
If you see your error after changing your USB connections, continue to the next section to troubleshoot your hardware.
Thanks for coming to the Apple Support Communities!

Tried using Find My iPhone and it's offline. It (Find my iPhone) was set up. What do I do now? Do I report it stolen? What is the best way in getting back my iPhone if any? Thank you in advance.
Find My iPhone is good for misplaced iPhone but not good for thief and it was never meant to be.
You chance of getting it back is very small.
There are a few things you can try.
Try remote lock/wipe your iPhone through Find My iPhone.
https://www.icloud.com
You can report to the police, cell carrier (expensive cell charges for international calls, roaming etc)
Change all the passwords used in iPhone: Apple ID, E-mail, Bank Account ....
