IPhone 3GS WI-FI has a lock symble that I think is keeping me from connecting. How do I remeove the lock?

Trying to connect to my wi-fi at home on my 3GS iPhone but it has a lock symbol. How do I remove the lock? It worked before until I upgraded to software.

If you are referring to the lock symbol next to the SSID of the wireless network you are trying to connect to, it means the network is secured and you will need a password to connect to it. So if you select it, enter the password for your network when prompted.

I just downloaded ios5 to my iPhone 3gs but nothing has changed ... i don't have a notification centre or anything ! help please !! :(

I just downloaded ios5 to my iPhone 3gs but nothing has changed i have no notification center or anything help!

Hi,
Just updated Mac with Lion Recovery and Mac OSX update, then updated my iPhone 3Gs with V5 software. Here is a screen shot of my notification center.
Have to say all went extremely smoothly along with a few cups of coffee, only thing that happened was after I hooked up to iCloud I needed to get an iPhoto update in order to get photo stream working, which I did and all is fine.
Once again a big thank you to Apple and all the hard working tech people.
Not sure what has happend but are you sure that the upgrade took? Just check your software version in settings > general > about.

Do a reset hold down the home/power button together until you see the apple sign and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up. If that doesn't work - do the steps while your phone is plug into your PC.

HT5457 iPad 1 is a lot newer than iPhone 3GS. It has the A4 chip! Why no IOS 6 for the 1st gen. iPad?

iPad 1 is a lot newer than iPhone 3GS. It has the A4 chip! Why no IOS 6 for the 1st gen. iPad?

quite surprised it suggests that iPhone 3gs s more powerful than the iPad1? iphone 3gs is supported. something is fishy. i don't want to fall out of love with apple products. looks like it's a business decision to cut support for iPad 1 - not technical shortcoming. if apple cut support for 3gs they will upset customers who just bought 3gs before iphone 5 was launched.... tsk tsk tsk.. i'm not from US. hope to see a class action suit by US peeps to resolve this...

Try plugging it into your computer, see if that clears it up or if you can perform a restore from your latest backup.

These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. Use the steps to troubleshoot security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
Also, check your hosts file to verify that it's not blocking iTunes from communicating with the update server. See the steps under the heading "Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > Mac OS X > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store." If you have software used to perform unauthorized modifications to the iOS device, uninstall this software prior to editing the hosts file to prevent that software from automatically modifying the hosts file again on restart.

Activation issues are almost always the result of a device that has been hacked or jailbroken. If that is the case, no support can be provided here.

IPhone 3GS stuck and I cannot switch it off. Screen shows an USB plug connecting to iTunes.

My iPhone 3GS stuck and i cannot switch it off. Screen shows an USB plug connecting to iTunes.

this usually appears when your iphone is not registered correctly with apple/itunes so plug it in to your computer and try setting it up if it gives you the correct prompt. if not try to restore and sync. usually tis problem appears when your iphone has no sim card or is not registered correctly. in this case you need to contact your carrier and set up an account. if you are trying to use it without a service or sim card then unless you go through some sketchy program of hacking it it is worthless to you without a sim or service plan. i have the original iphone1 i got from a buddy of mine i used as an ipod before getting an iphone4 and if i took the sim out this message appears. if you do have a sim and a service plan than there might be a problem with the phone reading the sim card you you can go into your service provider's store and request a new sim to see if that works.
I am sorry if none of this is helpful for i have no other suggestions.

How do I remove the lock (with the circle around it) on my Iphone? The screen won't change to the side view. I have no idea what button I accidently
pushed.... Please advise! Thanks, Amy

Double click the home button, swipe the dock at the bottom of the screen to the right, tap the circle/lock so it becomes just a circular arrow.

Can I switch my go phone iPhone 4 to an iPhone 6 witch already has a SIM card that isn't in use?

Can I switch my go phone iPhone 4 to an iPhone 6 witch already has a SIM card that isn't in use? Or do I have to buy a whole new go phone SIM card to fit the iPhone 6

Only if the SIM is a gophone SIM. If it is not a gophone sim, it will not work on gophone system. Go to a corporate store and they will give you the proper SIM to use on gophone service.
