Iphone 3gs wont activate with itunes...........

Why wont itunes activate my iphone 3gs it keeps saying no sim is installed????

Contact Orange to get the iPhone officially unlocked.
The 'professional unlock' by the previous owner is hacking
and had made unknown changes to the iPhone. Such modification
may prevent a legitimate unlock and may render the iPhone
inoperative and unrestoreable. The update has relocked the iPhone
to Orange.
Google may provide some direction, but it is just as likely that
your iPhone is on its was to becoming an brick.
Contact the previous owner and get your money back. Buy a
new iPhone from Apple or Apple authorized reseller at your location.

  • I go to sync my Iphone 3Gs (IOS 5) with iTunes on my pc and is is stuck on step 8 "waiting to copy items" it has been like this for over an hour.

    I go to sync my Iphone 4 (IOS 5) with iTunes on my mac and is is stuck on step 8 "waiting to copy items" it has been like this for over an hour. What can i do to fix this problem????

    If you are stuck at the blue screen then you can try booting into safe mode (hold shift during boot) and then run disk repair. If that still doesn't fix it then you might have to reinstall OS X. What version of OS X are you running?

  • My iphone 3gs wont activate after updating to ios 5

    ive updated my iphone 3gs to ios 5 but now itunes wont activate my phone and comes up with a messege saying my phone has no sim inserted when it has one (original orange UK sim), what can i do to sort this out

    I had the same problem with mine and found out because i bought it second hand and had it unlocked updating it causes it to go back to being locked again. If you've bought it in the same situation then maybe that's the problem, i got it unlocked really cheap too and now its back to normal and all my messges, apps and pics are back.
    hope this helps

  • IPhone 3GS not connecting with iTunes 10.1.1.4

    Hey all,
    I'm having a rather peculiar problem. Recently I had to do a factory restore of my HP Pavilion dv6, and I proceeded to download the latest version of iTunes. Whenever I try to sync my iPhone 3GS, it doesn't show up. Yes, I've tried everything. Reinstalling, resetting, restarting, msconfig settings and whatnot, and nothing works. It appears in Windows 7 just fine, with the autoplay box popping up every time I connect it and Windows Explorer noting it down as a digital camera. iTunes will not read the device.
    Every time iTunes connects, however, a message box appears saying that it cannot burn CD/DVDs due to the fact that the registry settings used by iTunes for doing so is missing, and caused by a possibility of other CD/DVD burners already installed.
    So I removed all the preinstalled junk that HP threw on my comp, and there are no CD/DVD burners on my computer now. Yet the dialog box is still the same.
    So are the two related? Are these registry settings that I'm missing preventing me from syncing my iPhone? And if so, how do I fix it? I'm very tech-savvy so complicated instructions will not be a problem (hopefully!). Cheers.

  • IPhone 3GS Wont Activate on setup

    My iPhone 3GS won't activate when i try an set it up it says "service temporarily unavailable" I have tried numerous ways (wifi + iTunes) but the same message appears everytime.....

  • HT201210 iphone 3gs wont activate

    I have a Iphone 3gs that wont activate after update.

    That would answer your question. This type of error is generally related to security software blocking the gs.apple.com server, or if the device was jailbroken. As a jailbroken device, you cannot get assistance here, but just to let you know that updating a jailbroken device will lock the device back to the carrier it was originally locked to and will also result in this error.
    Try Google and see if you can find a solution. Good luck.

  • Iphone 3GS wont activate after update

    I tried to update my phone and it came up with an error message, I have since restored to factory settings but now it won't activate.
    It just comes up with
    We're sorry, we are unable to continue with your activation at this time.
    Please try again later, or contact customer care.
    I've tried this several times through wi-fi and i-tunes connections.
    It is an iphone 3gs on the orange network, there is a working sim in the phone.
    Let me know if there is a solution.
    Thanks

    "We're Sorry, Activation Server Temporarily Unavailable, contact Customer Care...Your request Could Not Be Completed?"
    99.9% of the time, the cause of this issue is the fact the phone was jailbroken/hacked to unlock it for use on networks other than the network the phone was originally locked to. Apple maintains a database of officially unlocked iPhones, and when Apple's servers detect phones such as yours, activation stops & you get the message you got.
    So, you need to get a sim card from the carrier the phone was originally locked to, or get it officially unlocked, if you want to activate it. Because it appears that it was not officially unlocked.
