IOS 5 ACTIVATION AND SIM ISSUES

Good morning all from England!
Im on O2 (UK) and last night upgraded my iPhone from 4.3.3 to 5.0. The update went smoothly until it came to activating the phone.
All of the activation steps seemed to go smoothly, Language select, country select, location services, WiFi...then it switched to the "your iphone is being activated...this may take up to three minutes to complete"
All through this, the signal area was static on Searching... then eventually went to no service. iTunes also popped up at this point saying that there was no SIM card installed. Then i am greeted with the "unable to activate iPhone" and states that the activation server is temporarily unavailable. and asks to try again. I have done this countless times but im now under the impression that the issue of no signal is causing the issue.
From reading other posts on the interweb, there is speak of baseband upgrade issues where signals are no longer being registered.
I have tried my O2 sim in another phone and works fine, so i know it is not the sim.
Apple, are you aware of this issue? If so, how quickly do you plan to fix it.
Otherwise, has anyone else out there experienced the same issues as me? And has anyone found a fix for it?
I have the iPhone 3GS and i have been told its the new bootrom type - if that helps??
Any help will be appreciated.

Prior to the iOS 5 update, I could get 2.5 days out of a single charge based on my normal usage. Today I received one call and used the map to check traffic, once, and I went from 100% at 7am to ZERO by 7pm - auto shut off.
Can someone please explain to me what is running in the iOS 5 backround that is sucking this thing dry?
I have alread turned off PING, most of the location settings, and notifications to conserve battery. This is INSANE. I don't need trouble shooting on the device. 24 hours ago, with iOS 4.3.5 none of this was happening. The only change between now and then, is the installation of iOS 5.
Any other suggestions out there?
Maybe I should shut the phone off entirely until I actually need it - that should save the charge.
Does anyone at APPLE monitor these blogs? This is a SERIOUS issue - and I'm not the only one. There is dialog already bubbling up elsewhere regarding the same issue.

BAM Activity and view issue on BizTalk server 2013 R2 machine.

Hello all,
I am trying to make BAM portal work since couple of days but no luck yet...
I ma using BizTalk server 2013 R2.
I am trying to deploy the activity and view from my Development server to Test server ( it's working fine on Developemnt).
I have gone through one post and found this and followed steps here is the output for that :
First confirm that you can see the name of the activity in the list of deployed activity by executing this command:
bm.exe get-activities
--> I can see the activity name in there so I belive that activity is got created.
While creating the BAM activity you must have created/deployed a view get the name of the view by using this command:
bm.exe get-views -Activity:<activity name>
--> I can see the view name in there so I belive that view is exist.
You need to provide permission to the account you are using to access the BAM portal on this view by using this command.
bm.exe add-account -AccountName:”<AccountName>” -View:<viewname>
--> while executing this command is got error as :
Using 'BAMPrimaryImport' BAM Primary Import database on server 'TESTSERVER'...
ERROR: Security management of the BAM view failed.
The SQL role for the specified view is missing.
Note : My BAMAlert service is running and running using
GROUP\~biztalkservice account I am logged on Test Server using "NitinUser" account with administrator rights.
What does this mean - if this mean that I needs to give rights to my user (NitinUser) on SQL Database please tell me how to do that ? with command....
Thanks and Regards, Nitin.

Hi Nitin,
Can you try the solution as suggested by Thiago Almeida.
http://connectedthoughts.wordpress.com/2008/06/16/bam-deployment-gotchas/
His solution for this problem is to remove the view and re-add it, which worked for him. Obviously I didn't encounter this error, so have to suggest the solution from community.
If this answers your question please mark it accordingly. If this post is helpful, please vote as helpful by clicking the upward arrow mark next to my reply.
Hello Ashwin,
As per that post the author was having issue that view was not created ...
also have noticed one thing that by executing following command in sql management studio.
use
BamPrimaryImport
SELECT
SUSER_SNAME(owner_sid),nameFROMsys.DATABASES
on my development box it's showing my user GROUP\nitinUser and Name = CustomBizTalkDB
but when I execute this on TEST server, entry for GROUP\nitinUser is not in database
Thanks and Regards, Nitin.

IOS 4.1 and Signal Issues?

Now - I have not done any "extensive" testing yet... But I have a gut feeling that my signal has actually weakened with my update of iOS 4.1. Anyone else having this problem? Noticing any degradation?

I'm getting really bad signal issues after the ios 4.1 update. I was really happy with my iPhone 4 on Vodafone (Good reception + Excellent Data speeds, up & down).
Now after the update, it seems that the iphone cant get a decent signal or 3g at my home, office or girlfriends...
WHAT's Going on APPLE!??
I've done some field tests and my signal is usually -108... aka 1 bar of signal. I just wish i could revert back to 4.0.1....that was acutally better.
Please can someone help? 4.1 has definately had an adverse effect on my beloved iPhone.

IOS/AIR Running and Debugging Issues with Flash Builder

I'm having very frustrating intermittent issues running and debugging Flex applications on an iPad 3rd generation retina with Flash Builder 4.7.
Until this morning, launching on device using both standard and fast packaging worked pretty well. Every now and again, I'd get a dialog saying the packaging had completed successfully, but it hadn't. A quick change of the USB cable to another port on my iMac and it started working again. I'd also randomly get a "Error occurred while installing the application: Invalid <device> specified" error, which quickly went away.
This morning, with the same code base, the same certificate and provisioning profiles, Flash Builder has only managed to successfully package and run my application on my iPad twice and I must have attempted to launch fifty or so times. Standard packaging, fast packaging and with and without the useLegacyAOT.
Does this sound like a Flash Builder issue? Is my iMac USB driver dodgy? Has anybody else experienced this?
Any help greatly welcomed!
Thanks,
Simon

Hi I have had this problem sometimes. With my Mac Book Pro.
Try making a new flex application and see if you have the same result.
When I had this problem I created a new Application and copied every thing from my other application.
This my be a hard solution but I don't no any others.

IPhone 4 Activation and Wifi issues... plz help!!!

Alright, I bought an iPhone 4 off ebay and it just arrived today. Initially, the wifi option was greyed out so i figured a restore might fix it, so I restored and updated to 6.1.2. Heres the problem... at the activation screen, wifi still wont work and so it tells me to connect to itunes, but when I do that it gives me an error saying "itunes cannot continue with activation at this time".
What do I do?! I cant return the iPhone now and i'm not sure if Apple will help me?

Generally this is a sign that the iPhone had previously been
hacked/modified/jailbroken and the update relocked it to the
original wireless carrier. If this is the case, only that wireless
carrier can unlock your iPhone. You must contact them to see
if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
Does the app Cydia appear on your iPhone?
What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>About=>Carrier?
If the iPhone was sold as unlocked, start a complaint with eBay to
get your money back.
Apple will not help with jailbroken iPhones.

My usb modem will not connect to the internet after upgrading to OS X. The modem is active and was issued an IP addreess. There apparently is a connection error between the modem and Safari. Any ideas would be welcomed

MY USB modem will not connect to the Internet. The modem appears active on either USB ports and an IP address is assigned. The interface between the modem appears to be the problem. Any ideas?

Update: I called my ISP (Verizon) and they were not much help.
What did have you do if anything?
I also tried to connect with an ethernet cord, and that too is not working.
What were the results from the Network Diagnostic test when connected by ethernet?
I've been searching online for hours and have found no solution that has worked.
What were those solutions that did not work other than what you already mentioned?

I've upgraded my 3gs to ios 5.1 and I get a "no sim" error. please help!

Hello everyone,
I recently updated to the new itunes and it prompted me to upgrademy iphone 3gs to ios 5.1. I did so and now I cannot activate my phone. I am stuck on the set up, which I go through, only to get the "no sim" error. Have removed sim (tested - works in another phone), replaced into iphone and tried activation again with no luck. Any offerings are much appreciated!
Apple, you are pulling a blackberry.

gdgmacguy,
Thanks for the response.
1. My comment re: blackberry is not meant to be ignorant. Truth is that many iphone users are experiencing the same issues with essentially no connectivity to any network. So, my comment is meant to be actual fact. In fact, as of last night (Jan 5th), i still see many isers - 4gs, ipad2, many devices - still experiencing the same issue.
2. Thanks for the "more like this box tip. I have read through all relevant tips/advice and no luck. Have tried removing/reinserting SIM but nothing. Have cleaned sim and sim tray and nothing. Tested sim in an older phone and sim works fine.
But do appreciate your reply.

What do i do after downloading iOS 3.1 software and "There was a problem downloading iOS 3.1.1 software update for ipod touch. an unknown error occurred (8288). Please check that the connection to the network is active and try again." comes up?

what do i do after downloading iOS 3.1 software and "There was a problem downloading iOS 3.1.1 software update for ipod touch. an unknown error occurred (8288). Please check that the connection to the network is active and try again." comes up?

Hello, I hope by now you have resolved the upgrade issue, but if not, here is what I ended up having to do:
“SUCCESS!!! I took my iPod to a friend who is a computer programmer/genius. He turned off his wireless, hooked the ethernet cable directly into his computer, and the download went through without a hitch. YAY!”
Here is my original post explaining what I had already tried:
“Hi all,
I got an iPod Touch 1st gen for my youngest son for Christmas as a starter. It has the 2.1.2 ios on it, but after I paid for the upgrade to 3.1.1, I keep getting an error message (8288) saying there was a problem with the network connection. I have called customer service, and they suggested I try on a different computer, and if that didn't work, try connecting to a different network, and then trying the update. None of this has worked. It seems that tech support is clueless with this issue.
I have installed and unistalled iTunes 10.5, 10.3, 10.4, and now I am back with 10.5. I have tried looking up the issue from several search engines but no one seems to have a universal solution and I have tried several.
I really want to have this thing updated for himw hwne he opens it, but I am starting to worry that my purchase was a bust. I know this is the oldest version, but I don't want to buy a newer, more expensive iPod and him still not be mature enough to really take care of it. As I said, this one is a starter.
Can anyone help? Please?!
Thank you!!!
P.S. We have a PC, with Windows XP Home.”
Now, there seem to be a lot of different ways to solve the 8288 error, none of which are universal. Best of luck getting yours upgraded!

P.S. The post by Sparkhi is a link to his blog going into a long story about how he wanted Apple to pay him for “solving” the issue….the one that apparently has been solved by multiple solutions. I’m not trying to bash, it just bothers me that he put up this whole story and finally, at the very end of his blog post, posts his solution.

Symptoms
In certain situations, iPhone may present one of the following symptoms:
"Invalid SIM" or "No SIM Card installed" alert appears intermittently.
Status bar displays "No Service", "No SIM" or "Searching" in a location with good network coverage.
Resolution
If you encounter any of the above symptoms on your iPhone, try these steps to attempt to resolve the issue:
Update your iPhone to the latest version of iOS.
Toggle Airplane mode On and Off.
Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
Check for a carrier settings update. Tap Settings > General > About. If an update is available, a prompt will appear.
Remove the SIM Card and verify that it is a valid, carrier-manufactured SIM. Also verify that it is not damaged, worn, or modified. Then reinsert it.
Restore the iPhone.

IPad (Retina) on iOS 6.01 bought in UK and brought to Dubai, iMessage and Facetime activated and worked in the UK but now will not activate at all. Can anyone help...

Hi
I got an iPad (Retina) on iOS 6.01 as a gift in the UK and brought to Dubai.
My Facetime/iMessage activated and worked in the UK just fine but now (even with VPN) will not activate at all.
Can anyone help...

Hi Bob
With all due respect I think you are missing my point.
I'm aware that on Apple devices bought in UAE these apps are blocked and theres nothing that can be done there. My device is bought in the UK so it has Facetime and it worked fine.
I know categorically that iMessage works in Dubai without issue for almost everyong I know on an iPhone, I also know from seeing it that Facetime + VPN works as this gives your device a UK IP.
My question is not the obtaining of these apps but why even with a VPN mine are not working when others in Dubai are?
Thanks

Just updated to IOS 7 and two issues: First when I connect my iPhone to my computer I get this error message:itunes was unable to provider data from sync services".

Just updated to IOS 7 and two issues:
First when I connect my iPhone to my computer I get this error message:itunes was unable to provider data from sync services". I'm not sure what this really means...
The second issue is when I try to select "Manually Manage Music"
The iPhone "My iPhone" is synced with another iTunes libary on "MY-PC". Do you want to erase this iPhone and sync with this iTunes library? An iPhone can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time. Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this iPhone with the contents of this iTunes library."
So... I don't want to do that, but I do what to be able to Manage my music. I'm not sure what it means by being synced to another iTunes unless it means to an older version of itunes?
Anyone have any ideas?

I cannot address the sync services error right now, but the error that you receive when you change from sync to manually manage music is what happens when you change. Once you change to manually manage music, it erases all of the music and will only put the music that you want on the phone, content that you manually drag over to it. See if this support document helps you out. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1535

IPhone 4s and Sim failure and No service issue

Ok,
Few days back I asekd questions regarding few other issues with iPhone 4s. here is it, https://discussions.apple.com/message/17068754#17068754
Few gentlemen told me, to replace sim card. Here is what I did,
1) I am from India. I was using Vodafone 3g micro sim. Everyday, 4-5 times in the ideal mode I got messages like Sim failure and invalid sim. I have to restart my iPhone everytime. Then only it was working.
2) I posted the question, people said its my card problem
3) I bought new BSNL 3G micro sim card for iPhone. I inserted the card and got 3G working.
4) After 3 hours, I saw No service message. I waited for some time, i went to outside to see if it was a network issue. Nothing changed.
5) I rebooted my iPhone, it immediaetly picked the network.
6) After few hours, again it lost and said no service.
7) I then didn't rebooted it.
8) In the morning, I saw Sim Failure and invalid sim message. Useless
9) I now rebooted and Sim is working with 3G network.
Now please ,
is this iPhone issue? It is for sure. I am tired now. Battery is dying and with this Sim Failure and No service, I am totally disappointed.

Hi Ahelpyguy...
I read all your messages above , I am facing the same problem as u faced.
My Iphone 4S and it was working fine (5.0) until i upgrade to 5.0.1(9A406).
Now I am facing alot of network issues. I get messages liek NO Sim , SIM FAILURE.
I even restored the sowftware from ITUNES but i am still facing the same problem.
I was using Vodafone first but I heard that due to problem in micro sim reader of Iphone 4s i shd use a 128 K or 64 K sim.. Since only Airtel provided 64K sim ...I installed that in my phone. But still i am facing the same issue.
I would appreciate if you can tell me whats Tweaked version of 5.0.1.
the current software installed on my phone is 5.0.1 (9A406).
Thanks

IPhone 5 activation without SIM - and absolutely need to set the phone before acquiring SIM

I bought the phone from the Apple Store a few days ago and I'm leaving for Europe in a few days for 4 months. I do not intend to change my existing "simple" phone service with Telus (Samsung Rugged II) right now before leaving, I intend to buy the service in Europe. The place I'll spend most time has only 3 G and I know that the LTE with my phone has Band 4 and 7 and can' work on European LTE's and that's the reason I decided to buy Americas phone as I will probably change my existing service with Telus when I return back. I want activate my iPhone and set my phone using wifi before I leave for Europe (mid June). I have the Apple store valid account (I have iPad) and I have the Apple store receipt for the unlocked iPhone. When I return I may decide to change my existing cell contract but that may be 6 months down the line and, as I paid for the phone and the phone is unlocked ( I did not get any nano SIM in the package), I need to get through the activation without SIM. ------- Can Apple store setup service do the activation for me -------?

Thx Tim,
I'm not using the phone that much in Canada, Ipad I have has cell connection as well and that's quite OK in NA plus the regular (unlocked) cell and when I go outdoors, I need Rugged waterproof and shockproof device, plus the Magellan GPS. It's only in Europe I want to carry small device I can use Skype, email, Internet browsing plus my unlocked Samsung Rugged ... That's the reason I need iPhone activate and set up ahead of my trip ... And I don't want to pay for service here when I will not use it for some time (perhaps never on the regular basis, just travels).
I believe that they want to confirm your identity and prevent theft but my registration through wifi and my Apple id should be sufficient together with receipt ...

I buy new iphone but i have problem in my mobile. it's need activation and i dont no how to active its need sim activation but i take it from UK and my brother send me this phone in saudi arabia i am old coustomer of apple so please help me i am suck

If the phone is locked to a carrier then you will need the carrier to unlock it And only the carrier can do that.
