I upgraded iphone 3gs to ios6 but now iphone will not recognize SIM card

Hi,
I upgraded both ipad 2 and iphone 3gs to ios6. I don't see any issue with ipad 2 but now iphone will not recognize SIM card. "Please insert a SIM card" message

You say "... but now panorama is not working". Panorama never was supposed to work before iOS 6, so you'll be using it for the first time with iOS 6.
The way to enable panorama is to open the camera, click the "options" button at the top center, and select panorama.
Does this work on your iPhone? If not, what symptoms of failure do you experience?

Turn iPhone 4s into iPod Touch - will not recognize sim card

My iPhone 4s will no longer recognize a sim card. I didn't trade it in b/c the Apple salesperson said I could still use it as an iPod touch. (I want to use it at home to play Pandora/iTunes/Sirius over wifi to bluetooth speaker.) The salesperson did not warn me not to reset the phone.
After completing the reset, it will not allow me get past the "no sim card" message. How can I bypass this in order to use the phone as an iPod?

Yes - I took it to ATT and they put in 2 different new sim cards. It will not recognize them at all. I took it to Apple and they said it was hardware (though after reading other discussions here, I am more suspicious of iOS 7).
They offered a trade in but I asked if I could still use it as an iPod touch. The genius dude said yes, but did not not tell me I could never reset it. Very frustrated.

Hi AtlantaGuy. I am sorry you are unable to find the drivers for your wireless device. I will be happy to help you further. Since you do not have the disc, go to www.vzam.net
Once you do that, on the left, click on "Supported Devices".
Search for your specific device and click on the link under the column with your version of windows.
It will then take you through the steps to download the drivers specific to your device.
Please let me know if this works for you. I am here to help

HT1379 Summary: how to transfer files from SD card when the system (Mac OS X v 10.7.5) will NOT recognize SD cards.

How to transfer files from SD card when the system (Mac OS X v 10.7.5) will NOT recognize SD cards?
Insert the SD card.
System opens iPhoto with SD contents.
Want to transfer files from SD card to system drive. iPhoto closes
SD card directory removed from the Finder window and is not available again.
I don't want to have to reboot the system every time I want to perform this option.
What's wrong here.
The support columns show this isn't an isolated incident with all sorts of solutions possible.
This is a simple task - there should be a simple method for the system to recognize SD cards.
What's the answer?
I've reviewed a recommendation to reset the SMC.

and
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
and another thread that says, basically, you must buy extra hardware to perform this simple task,

another one that has the same problem with OS Mountian Lion,
https://discussions.apple.com/message/21919740#21919740
another one with the problem that says SD cards can't be read by Apple unless the card is formatted specifically for Apple, ie. that Apple is not compatible with other cards, but the problem maybe something else that requires Apple service - (bad SD card reader?).
https://discussions.apple.com/message/18711818#18711818
there are probably more discussions, but I dont' want to spend my entire sunny in Seattle day working this.
thanks for the help!

When I plug in an SD card, the finder window shows it under the DEVICES section. At this point, I can drag the contents to the hard drive. However, when I screw up and click the character on the right side of the name - it apparently closes the SD card and I can't find any command to reload or re-recognize the card. I have to remove and reinsert the card and then sometimes it recognizes the card. Other times I reboot and it will recognize it.
What does that character on the right side of the SD card name do? Is it an eject function - with no way to subsequently reread the drive?
It ejects or unmounts the card. When the SD card mounts click on it once to highlight it and then drag the files shown within it to the new folder.

I have just now tried the Reinstall via iTunes, about 20 into the download, the iTunes logo on the phone disappeared, and the Apple Logo appeared again,,, I waited until the iTunes stated that the download had finished, and the install was in progress,,,
Nothing happened, still the Apple Logo was visual on the screen, iTunes never recognised the phone which it was on my iTunes account previously,,,
Still just a bunch of lines, maybe 5 or 6 so small writing,, I personally can not read what it is telling me, someone said it reads, incorrect shutdown,,,????????
Please advise,???
I am now at a loss,,, I really became excited when I saw the iTunes icon after putting the phone into restore,,,???

EMac on OS 10.2.8 will not recognize Airport Card

OK, I'm not loving Mac so much any more . . .
Here's my situation, please feel free to talk down (way down) to me:
Have eMac OS 10.2.8
Very recently bought iBook running Tiger
Bought Airport Express
Bought Airport Card so eMac can go wireless and share connection on Airport Express with iBook.
eMac will not recognize Airport card, and I've followed ALL the steps numerous times in all the support online here and NOTHING.
What am I doing wrong?
Do I need to upgrade my OS to something higher? If so, WHAT? No salesperson OR tech support person has told me to do this when I tell them I'm on currently running 10.2.8 . . . I am tearing my hair out.
Every time I call, I'm told buy this. Then, it doesn't work, and I'm told, "I dunno who told you that, but that's wrong. You need this." Hafta go through return process. I buy the next thing they tell me, it doesn't work.
I appreciate any guidance you can give me and again, I'm not techno savvy, so talking in the most simplistic terms is awesome!!!!!

Unfortunately, I'm not sure how to proceed--I ran "software update", and nothing turned up.
I tried to install Airport Express/iTunes software, and it told me I needed 10.3
OK, so I installed Airport Extreme, which came with the Airport Extreme card, and it gave me an option to install for 10.2.3 or 10.3, which I don't have, so I went for 10.2.3
Installed the airport card as instructed on this site in help/support areas.
Nothing.
I ran "software update" as you suggested, and it found nothing, so I must apologize that I am not certain exactly what to do now . . .

IPhone 4s will not recognize wi-fi signals

My iPhone 4s will not recognize or connect to any wi-fi. I've rebooted phone and my personal router, but this did not work. Phone is not recognizing wi-fi in public places with free wi-fi or other private signals. Any help?

Try this: Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings (Will delete all saved wifi passwords) but, it might work

BERRY WILL NOT RECOGNIZE MEDIA CARD.

I have a Blackberry Curve 8320 from T-Mobile. I upgraded the system software to 4.5.081 and every thing works fine. I have a Scandisk 4gb micro sdhc card in the berry. I sold my old phone and had to pull the sim card from the berry to clear the old phone before I sold it. Prior to this everything worked fine.
Now I put the Sim card and media card back in the berry and it will not recognize the Media card. Tried to reformat the card and I get a message "card not readable". This card worked fine for a month until today, and that's with the system up grade.
Did anyone ever experience this?

Welcome to Forum!
Did you try doing this? This is all I know about the formattin cards? There will be more help soon on the way!
Format Card If you are using your card it might be best to put the card in a reader and transfer everything to your pc first. Then with the card back in the BB gob to Options>Media Card>Menu>Format Card. If that works just transfer all your files back.

Tungsten E2 will not recognize SD card

I am writing in regards to a Palm Tungsten E2 which I received for Christmas. This device was purchased from the Palm store in November, but not opened until Christmas. The problem is that the device will not recognize a SD card when inserted. I am using new SanDisk 512 Mb, and 1 Gb SD cards. When I go to card information in the Applications menu, it says "no card inserted". Also, there is no sound when the card is inserted, though it will turn the device on, which indicates that there is some form of recognition. I have checked under Preferences and the sound option is on. Also, I have checked and the card is in the unlocked position. Any advice that you can give me would be greatly appreciated. I have been a Palm user for more than seven years now, first with the Palm 500 and then with the Zire 71. I use it extensively for work and am lost when I don't have it.

The easiest way is to connect the SD card to a computer using an SD card reader. Most laptops have them built in.

IPhone 3Gs will NOT recognize iTunes NOR charge with my PC but ....

My iPhone 3Gs (16GBytes white model) will NOT show up on iTunes NOR charge with my PC but it will charge with the wall plug.
My iPhone 3Gs IMEI: 01 203100 586260 3
It is an unlocked iPhone purchased directly from one of Apple store online in Asia.
I am currently traveling in Asia and using a local SIM card.
All of a sudden today, it will not charge on my laptop. It still charges on the wall plug. I suspect that it has to do with me plugging the phone into another public but older PC (running Windows XP) - was attempting to charge my phone but that public PC did not show that it was charging or recognizing the iPhone.
It will not charge or sync no matter what I do. I tried using the power button + home button. I tried holding the home button then plugging in the USB cable. I tried erasing all the data on the phone. All of the above failed.
Now I have the screen where it shows that I have to plug in the USB cable to activate my phone!

IPhone 3GS can not detect SIM Card after upgraded to iOS 6.0.1

Guys I really need your advice please...
I upgraded my iPhone 3GS 32GB from iOS 5.1.1 to 6.0.1 a couple weeks ago and since then it can not detect the my SIM Card ever. Before it's been upgraded, the phone was working just fine, but now it's just like a gameboy to me. I've been trying to find solution and some stores want me too pay quite amount of money to fix it but I refused.
By the way, it has been jailbroken with RedSnow, tethered of course... and all the features are working perfectly, the WiFi is working, syncing is working, Bluetooth is working, downloading apps from App Store is okay, but only Mail and Safari won't work. I haven't got a chance to go to Apple Service Center to fix it yet, but the store I went said that Apple may say the same.
Thanks in advance.
ps to Admin: I'm a newbie, so if I posted this in the wrong room please forgive me.

Thanks Chris for your solution.
But just for you know that I bought Apple to get the 'after service', they should've warn the users not to upgrade to a higher OS if it can caused the phone 'dead'. Mine was totally unusable when it's just been upgraded. It stayed in the recovery mode and couldn't be restored. So I brought it to the nearest store and they did that to me, and eventually the phone is working, only it cannot detect my SIM Card...
The problem is not about upgrading an iPhone to a newer version of iOS. Your problem was upgrading a hacked phone, one of the well known consequences of which is re-locking and/or bricking the entire device when restoring in iTunes. You chose to hack your phones firmware and operating system, so you must accept the consequences of going outside the bounds of normal use that Apple prescribes and supports.
Had you not hacked it in the first place, you likely would have never had a problem, and if you had, Apple would have offered support to deal with it. Your choice, your decision, your consequences.

Upgraded 3GS to 6.0.1 now will not read SIM card

I tried to update 3GS to the new 6.0.1 but it now says the there is no SIM card and it can not be activated.

Your iPhone was hacked/jailbroken to unlock it and it has new relocked to the original carrier. Contact whatever carrier it is locked with and find out what their unlock process is. If you do not know call AppleCare and give them the model and serial number.
