Iphone 3gs problem with network after upgrading to 5.1.1

Hi...
I have Iphone 3gs and requested official unlock from my provider. They said they did it and all I have to do is connect it with iTunes.
I had ios 3.x and upgraded to 5.1.1 through iTunes.
But now after upgrade, my phone is not unlocked and niether works with original card.
3G network is one second ok, after one second drops to 1 line, and after that I got No network.
I managed to make call, but that call only last for 1 second.

I wouldn't assume that. Don't know anyone who changed carriers without canceling the original. The intermittent connections he describes are typical of SIM card issues.
The point is that your statement that "updating is not enough" is incorrect. When he "updated" to iOS 5, a full restore was already done. If there were errors during that process, restoring again might help, but its not necessary to restore.

Problems with Mail after upgrading to 10.9.1

I am running into problems with Mail after installing 10.9.1. I had NO problems with Mail prior to this update.
Problems I have encountered so far are:
- I don't receive some e-mails on my Gmail account.
- I have sent e-mails that supposedly got "sent" but do not show up in my Sent box both on mail and on web Gmail. My Outbox is empty also.
Has anyone encountered the same problems and found a solution?
Thanks in advance!

Yes Paul I have, but no solution. I cannot send email. My ISP uses a smtp mail server for sending and It will not log in. Have had ISP on phone and checked all settings. Can only put it down to Mavericks.
It worked OK for a week after upgrading then stopped. So now having to use web mail to send email.
Strange thing is I receive mail OK, just cant send.

Cant get contact with network after upgrading to 5.01

Cant get contact with any network after upgrading to 5.01

Do you mean:
1) You can't connect to the network of your carrier?
2) You can't connect to wifi network?
3) You can't connect to 3G network?

I'm having problems with Notes after upgrade to OS4. Anyone else?

After upgrading mu iphone 3GS to the new OS4, I'm having serious problems with my Notes. If I edit old notes and klick Done, it now takes longer then ever to save. And when the save is finished, my latest edits are gone! The note is back to the text before I opened it up for editing...
Has enyone experienced this after upgrading?
Also, why does it take such a long time so save the notes now? I can see in the "progress bar" the phone is connecting to the Internet after klicking Done. Why is that? It never did that before. Does the new OS4 save all notes on some sort of server instead of just saving on my phone? Can I shut this function off somehow?
Thanx for all answeres!

I am having the same issue but havent been able to find a solution yet.

Hi, I have an iphone 3GS from HK. After upgrading to 4.3.3 from 4.3.2 as prompted by itunes on May 10, 2011 my entire contact in my iphone was wiped out! When I checked my backup file in Outlook Express it was also wiped out!!! What can I do now?

Hi, I have an iphone 3GS purchased in HK. After upgrading to 4.3.3 from 4.3.2 as prompted by itunes on May 10, 2011 my entire contact in my iphone was wiped out. When I checked my backed up file in Outlook Express, it was also wiped out during the synchronization. I tried to restore from backup on iTunes but still, the contact was not there anymore. I have contacted your HK Apple Hotline and talked to a technical support called TIMMY LO, he said there is nothing to do with them and he refused to provide any support to recover my contact, he even said I should try to pay extra money to 3rd party supplier and see what they can do to my iphone, despite the fact that this could be caused by the pre-mature release of 4.3.3 when a bug still hasn't been fixed. I am very disappointed at Apple's service, especially considering that I have been a loyal customer of iphone / ipod touch in the past few years. I need an official reply from Apple on this! How can Apple be so irresponsible to their own firmware failure??

Wifi problem with Mac after upgrade to Mavericks

I just upgraded to Mavericks but something wrong with my wifi.
i can get internet through LAN link from Airport but not through wifi even i can receive an IP address
i tried connect to hotspot with my iphone5s and it works.
Other devices can use wifi just fine through Airport, just not my Mac using Mavericks
In conclusion,
Airport should be fine because my other devices works.
Mac wifi should be fine too because i can connect using hotspot.
so why it's not working when i connect Mac to Airport?

I was having problems connecting to Wifi with my Macbook Pro (!2010), after upgrading to Mavericks. I was on the phone repeateadly with AT&T because I have Uverse. Testing everything (channels, signal strength) and had techs come out to check the line, ports, switches, etc. When I hardwired the Mac into the Uverse router, it worked fine. This rulled out any problems with the line in.
I considered getting a repeater but then I read that repeaters are not really good and it is better to reconfigure a router to act as an access point on the network. Plunked down about $80 for a Belkin AC750 router at Best Buy. In the setup it has an option to set it up as an access point only. Clicked that, connected it to my Motorola NVG510 Uverse modem and then connected to the Belkin router from my Mac. Voila! It's been a solid 11+ Mbs ever since (my plan maxes at 12Mbs). Connection is still solid and life if good even though it ***** to plunk down another $80 for a second router. But it was worth it just to get rid of the headaches.
I think the wifi capabilities of the Motorola NVG510 modem are the cause of a lot of problems with AT&T Uverse issues, particularly for Mac owners. I think it was also causing my Airport Expresses to drop occasionally.... Few minutes of music then drop... music drop.... All gone now.
I don't know if you are on Uverse but if so, I highly recommend configuring a second router as an acces point (it can be any old router you still might have - the setup is just a bit trickier because you have to do it manually).
Good luck.

Problems with Mail after upgrading to 10.5.6

I was using my mail program without problems, until I upgraded to v 10.5.6 - when I tried to 'get new mail' I received the following message:
There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Check the settings for the account or try again.
The server error encountered was: The connection to the server on port 110 timed out.
I contacted my email provider (shaw.ca) and there are no problems with their server. So, I added another email account to check if it was the program, and I'm getting the same response with the new account I added.
Has anyone come across this issue? Any advice? Thank you!!

Sorry Made mistake.... Disregard first post

IPhone 3GS does not activate after upgrade to iOS 5.1

I never had any issues upgrading the iphone 3GS in the past. Last January I got my iphone upgrade to iPhone 4S, which made my 3GS redundant, so I had asked Vodafone uk to get it unlocked for me so that I can use it with other networks. Vodafone sent the information to apple and got the iphone unlocked for me. The OS was 4.1 then. A few days ago I came to India on my business trip for 4 weeks and inserted an indian SIM and it worked fine. but just yesterday I tried to upgrade it to iOS 5.1 through itunes and it got stuck in recovery mode then I tried to restore it and found that it has indeed loaded the iOS 5.1 as it asked me questions relating to language and country and tried to access wifi for iCloud. But it has got stuck just there and says no SIM inserted.
Please help .....

This indicates that the phone was carrier locked and had been 'hacked' to unlock it. Updating the phone has re-locked it to the original carrier.
ONLY the carrier it is locked to can authorize unlocking it. Not all do so. Contact the carrier and find out what their policy is.
If it's locked to AT&T, you may as well sell it and buy a new phone. AT&T will not unlock iPhones for any reason.

Serious problem with bluetooth after upgrade to iOS6.1

After upgrading to iOS 6.1 I have found serious problems with bluetooth, now I can not see the other iphone and vice versa.
Someone has the same problem?
Why Apple continues to restrict bluetooth functions?

Hi,
Thanks for your answer. Yes I've checked parameters modification and SPICBOOKING is "well" launched but it produces no results, so I guess there are some other changes in dimension customizing of AccountL or Datasrc....by the moment I'm testing but with no luck. This happens when you are about to go live and decide to upgrade your system....

Problems with networking after sleep since March 1st EPI firmware update

Hi,
After the new EPI firmware upgrade of my macbook pro (4 months old) a problem that I had 3 months ago re-appeared again :
when I received my laptop (Lion, fully updated) a few months ago it had problems getting internet access after waking from sleep : it could detect the wifi-network, it was connected and when I tried to ping -for example- google.com in terminal it would answer. This means my network was working and DNS was working too...
Only when opening safari, or software update or any other program that wants to go online, it would give me a 'no internet connection' message. After 3 minutes or so, it would work again (wihtout doing anything). I tried renewing the DHCP lease, moving the order of interfaces, re-adding the networks after deleting but nothing helped.
The problem back then was solved after a firmware upgrade, and it would be online 2 sec after waking from sleep.
After this week's firmware upgrade the problem came back......
Anyone have any suggestions, or anybody know if Apple is working on it again?
Thanks,
Koen

For me the problem is solved now.....last night software upgrade popped up with "another" EFI-firmware upgrade, and after this it worked again....too bad I didn't look at version number. But I'm happy I wasn't the only one with this problem....
For the questions above : this was abviously firmware related since it happened directly after the first update. If something has worked and nothing changed in the peripherals the problem is in hte thing that DID change...the firmware. I was surfing after solutions and I did see that there is a problem for some people with the way the OS passes on the DNS (so when pinging, the DNS is picked up directly or something, but in applications such as safari.... it grabs the settings from the OS somewhere). There was a terminal-based solution to reset this setting but by the time I wanted to try it the frimware upgrade popped up....but maybe it can help others...
