IPhone no longer works after iOS 5.0.1 update

My iPhone 4 no longer recognizes its SIM card after updating from iOS 5.0 to 5.0.1.
I followed the instructions in the article on the official Apple support site. Removing and reinserting the SIM card did not help, so I used iTunes to reset the iPhone.
The result is that after switching on, the iPhone tells me that there is no SIM card in the slot (even if there there is) and that I should insert a SIM card with no PIN lock into the slot.
I do not have a SIM card with no PIN lock.
My phone company only distributes SIM cards with a PIN lock.
What can I do now?

I had this issue too. I did an OTA update.
I tried turning off my iPhone, removed and reinserted my SIM and turning it on again a few times without success. I also inserted my wife's SIM, it was OK. When I tried with mine again, it was not. I also tried going in and out of Airplane Mode too without success.
Afte a bit of trial and error, I finally got it to work.
What I did was:
1. Turn off WIFI.
2. Turn off my iPhone.
3. Removed and reinserted my SIM.
4. Turned on my iPhone. Almost immediately I saw the "3G" indicator and after a couple of seconds, my SIM worked!
5. Turned WIFI back on.
From my issue, it seems the iOS 5.0.1 update got "confused" with the network setup.
HIH.

My iPhone no longer syncs after iOS 5.0.1 update.

I have an iPhone 3GS (16GB), and ever since I updated to iOS 5.0.1 it has been refusing to sync via USB and WIFI. Apparently it needs an additional 8.32GB of space, despite the fact that nothing's changed with regards to the content being synced. I've attached a screenshot for reference.
Thanks in advance for your help.

My car dock is no longer working after iOS 4.3.2 update...help!!

I have an after market car dock that normally plays music through my car speakers and charges my iphone. After the most recent iOS update it still charges but does not play music. Any ideas?

Sometimes after iOS updates older tech or even off brand tech may not be supported. I use an older Griffin car charger with an iPhone & iPad and it won't charge because it is not supported. Maybe get a new dock or an Apple approved product, it kinda irritates me as well not being able to use off brand tech. Its cheaper than brand name products...
Hope this helped

Gmail no longer works after iOS 6.1.3 update

I just updated my iPad 3 to iOS 6.1.3 and immediately noticed that when I tried to open the mail client, it would launch and shut off. Turns out that I had to delete all of my gmail accounts and then the mail client worked. I tried to add the gmail accounts back but now I get the following error:
The IMAP server "imap.gmail.com" is not responding. Check your network connection and that you entered the correct information in the "Incoming Mail Server" field.
The strange part is that I also updated my iPhone 5 and everything works fine, including gmail! I check the setting between the two devices and they are the same.
Apparently, many have reported these types of issues over the past few days. However, I've yet to see a solution. Apple hasn't seemed to have responded at all.

JimHdk,
Not sure what the issue is...like I said, my iPhone works fine with the 6.1.3 upgrade, the iPad doesn't...only after the updgrade. Additionally, other's have reported the same issue with gmail.

HT4623 iPhone 4 not working after iOS 6.0.1 update

I have just updated my phone to iOS 6.0.1, however after the phone updated, it no longer switches on and I just have a grey screen. When I try and plug the phone into iTunes, it does not recognise anything. Is this likely to be a problem due to the updating iOS6.0.1 or has something else liekly to have broken on the phone and it's just pure coincidence that it happened when I did the update?

I would try a restore in itunes then set up as new iphone (dont use restore from back up) pain I know but it can do the trick.
Still no luck Apple Store get them to sort it or New Phone Please!

HT6154 rear camera on iphone 5 not working after ios 8 update why?

My iPhone 5 rear camera is no longer working after ios 8 update its just black I can see the flash choice the hdr and the timer but other than that it is a black screen

Hi there fjci2003,
You may find the troubleshooting steps in the article below helpful.
Get help with the camera on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
You see a closed lens or black screen
If you see a closed lens or black screen when you open the Camera app, try these steps:
Make sure that there’s nothing blocking the camera lens. If you’re using a case, try removing it.
Force the app to close, then open the Camera app again.
Restart your device, then open the Camera app again.
If your device has a front and rear camera, try both cameras by tapping the camera swap icon . If you see the closed lens or black screen on only one camera, take your device to an Apple Retail Store or Authorized Service Provider for more help.

Internet sharing no longer works after Lion 10.7.4 update

Rear camera stopped working after iOS 7.1.2 update- iPhone 5

My rear camera is not working after I did 7.1.2 software update this morning. I see a blank screen when I click the camera app.

So my camera was fine until yesterday and pressing on the lens did not work so I went back to looking for solutions:
http://www.cydiaios7.com/back-camera-not-working-after-ios-7-update-solution.htm l
The article is from last year (IOS 7), but solution 1 worked for me. Here are all the solutions from the link:
Solution 1
Hold the Sleep button until you see the Slide to Power Off slider
Slide it and then immediately hold down the Sleep button again until you see the Apple logo
Solution 2
Open your Settings app
Tap General
Tap Reset
Tap Reset All Settings
While you won’t lose any of your data you will have to re-enter all of your passwords and personal settings again
Solution 3
Hold the Sleep and Home button simultaneously until the Apple logo appears
Let go of both buttons at the same time and let your iOS device boot up as normal
Solution 4
Try a different camera app instead of the stock one – downloadCamera Awesome, free of charge, from the App store
Install and both cameras should work properly.

Iphone 4 is rebooting after ios 7.1.1 update

Hi,
My Iphone 4 is rebooting and shutting down frequently after ios 7.1.1 update, daily not able to receive calls as it is in shutdown mode and trying to reboot also taking more time, Can some one suggest me the best solution for this problem???

Hi Sekhar_Nutakki,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I recommend these steps if your iPhone is shutting down or restarting unexpectedly:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
Best Regards,
Jeremy

Voice memo on iPhone 4 no longer works after iOS 6 update.

Since updating to iOS 6, voice memo no longer works. It kills itself upon launch. If it doesn't do it automatically, it does it once I hit any of the buttons in it (i.e. record). I've tried hard reset and regular restart. Haven't tried restoring because I noticed it on my way to work.
Anyone else have this problem?

I went to Apple and they helped me restore my phone to see if that would solve the problem and it did. Essentially restoring wipes your phone and you start from scratch. I was able to "restore from backup" and so I didn't lose anything.

Headphone remote not working after iOS 8.1.2 update on iPhone 5

Following iOS 8.1.2 update my iPhone 5 no longer responds to the inline remote on my headphones. Remote still works fine with my laptop so the problem is specific to the updated iPhone. I am using SkullCandy Earbuds. Any ideas? Thanks!

Hello Nathan,
After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help with your iPhone's camera. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice for the issue you are experiencing:
Get help with the camera on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
You see a closed lens or black screen
If you see a closed lens or black screen when you open the Camera app, try these steps:
Make sure that there’s nothing blocking the camera lens. If you’re using a case, try removing it.
Force the app to close, then open the Camera app again.
Restart your device, then open the Camera app again.
If your device has a front and rear camera, try both cameras by tapping (camera swap icon). If you see the closed lens or black screen on only one camera, take your device to an Apple Retail Store or Authorized Service Provider for more help.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.

Iphone 4s not working after ios 7 upgrade

Ever since i have updated my iphone 4s to ios 7my phone has stuck in recovery mode and when i connectect to itunes it keeps coming up with unknown error occurred. Please help my mobile has been out of action since Friday.

My 4S had an initial issue with the initial 7.0 update coming up with unknown error occurred. I looked on the Apple site and was able to see that if I downloaded itunes again and resynced it should work. I did that and it did work. Then the 7.02 update came out the other day. I downloaded it and it crashed my phone with the 4103 error. Another user on the Apple community noted they kept tapping the home screen while the update was occuring and their phone finally came back up. After four days of trying to get the phone back online and forwarding to another cell just to have cell service, it is workin after we tapped the home key during the entire install update and that worked. Now my phone is back online and Apple did not even know that that would fix it. Now they do.

SD CARD READER NO LONGER WORKS after IOS upgrade. Help!

Does anyone have a suggestion as to how I can get my sd card reader working again? My generation 1 iPad worked fine with it until I updated to IOS5. Today was the first time trying to upload pics since the upgrade. Nothing. Not even an error message. I rebooted and still nothing. SoTHAT was $30 well spent. So now, in order to get the pics onto my iPad, I am sending the pics to myself from my HP laptop, opening the emails on the iPad, and saving from there. The card reader used to work great for pics and videos. Gotta love it when upgrades make so I can no longer do before the "improvements." I would just return the camera kit/card reader, but I purchased it a year ago, so that bird has flown. Suggestions?
Thanks in advance and Happy Holidays!
