IOS 6.1.6 update, now no service.  Thanks, A**le.

Hi all.
Another stellar Apple trip-up.  I stupidly and blindly went ahead and updated my 3gs from 6.1.3 to.6, and the phone started back up, no service.  Restarted, same thing.  Restored, same thing.  Did a search and found out that this was a big problem with the 6.1.3 update.
Long story short, if I turn off 3G, I get service.  If I turn it on, no service.
Unlocked 3GS on AT&T gophone plan.
So tired of this.

I left my attitude, my good one, long behind with apple. I'm still ****** at them for not including my iBook PDF's Ina a backup (what the ****?) and losing them all in a restore.  For the price premium, I expect more.  Unfortunately, I'm locked into using Apple.
I wasn't looking for help, just venting and offering what had worked for me for the other unfortunate souls who might find themselves in the same predicament.

  • I recently did the iOS 7.0.2 update, now I'm unable to purchase apps. "App could not be purchased at this time. Please try again later. ". I have tried a few of the suggestions and nothing has worked. Reset,change auto lock time on main screen, now what??

    This sorted it for me:
    Backup your iPhone to iCloud (I believe backing up to iTunes will work too). Now go to "Settings --> General --> Reset --> Erase All Content and Settings" to completely restore your iPhone to factory settings. Assuming you've backed up to iCloud, you'll be asked when setting up your iPhone if you want to restore from an iCloud backup. Choose that option and once your iPhone has restored itself from your backup, this annoying problem will finally be gone! (was for me anyway).
    To restore from an iTunes backup, connect your iPhone to your computer, load iTunes. Click the File menu and select Devices > Restore from Back up.

  • I updated to ios 5.1, after updating, now my screen is stuck with the apple logo and status bar and isn't doing anything....HELP

    I updated to ios 5.1, after updating, now my screen is stuck with the apple logo and status bar and isn't doing anything....HELP

    The typical fix if the progress bar totally freezes - meaning no movement at all for more than 20 minutes - and iTunes will no recognize the device - is to try to put the iPad into recovery mode. That is explained here.
    iPad: Unable to update or restore
    However, don't jump the gun. Keep an eye on the progress bar and if it is moving at all - even very slowly - let it go for a while. I'm updating my iPod touch first and the progress bar is moving but very slowly.

    Had to log into iTunes from my pc while connected via USB. Then about 15 mins later I was able to access iTunes through my phone. Not too sure what the problem was but it seems fine now? Hope that helped!

  • Updated-now no service

    I just updated my iPhone to 4.2 and now my phone says no service, my number is showing unknown and network says not available.  What do I do?

    1. Turn off the phone. Take the SIM out. Put it back in. Turn on the phone.
    2. Try resetting the phone: Hold the power/lock button and the home button at the same time until the Apple logo appears.
    3. Get a new SIM.
    Was you phone hacked/jailbroken?

  • HT4623 Hi why does my itunes always say "error contacting server" when i update my iPhone 5 with the iOs 6.1.3 update

    Hi why does my itunes always say "error contacting server" when i update my iPhone 5 (iOs 6.0.2) with the iOs 6.1.3 update?

    Hey Tigergirl17,
    Thanks for the question. If you haven't already done so, you may want to update iTunes to v11.1 (released on Sept 18th). After updating iTunes, you can then update your iPhone 5 to iOS 7.

    Try the standard fixes to rule out a software problem:
    - Reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
    If you still have the problem that points to a hardware problem. Yu can make an appointment at the the Genius Bar of an Apple store or try:

    This usually happens if the phone has been Hacked / Jailbroken / Modified...
    If this is the case... Then...
    Sorry... But...

  • Updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 7.0.6 and now cannot use text/phone

    I updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 7.0.6 and now I cannot use text/phone services.  When attempting to access either service from the primary display the screen whites out and freezes up.   Settings>Phone allows me to interface with my preference howevver tapping on Settings>Messages (or Settings>Facetime) causes the Settings function to lock up.  I have to back out of Settings entirely and restart.  This is seriously agrivating.

    I would do a full restore in iTunes using your last backup.

  • I am using iPhone 4S lock came from Japan. From beginning, it is IOS 5.1.1 but now i have updated to IOS 7 and it is not working anymore now. Can you tell me what i have to do now?

    No Japanese carrier provides unlocking services. Therefore, your phone must have been hacked to unlock it. That hack was removed when you updated the software. You need to be a legitimately unlocked phone.
    Best of luck.
