Is it safe to update my iPhone 4 16gb Softbank Locked to the latest OS? I'm hesitating to update its OS because I heard it might be permanently locked and I can't use it even as an iTouch. I understand that Softbank locked iPhone can never be unlocked, but not using this as a phone. I'm using this as an itouch.
Please confirm if I can update its OS? or what happens when i Update its OS.
If you are just using the device as an iPod touch, it won't matter if you update it, so long as you still have a Softbank SIM in the device. It doesn't have to be active, but you will need it to activate the device after you update the firmware. It won't be locked to where it cannot be used as a Touch, unless you consider not activating it, but that is something you can still do.

Please help after updating my iphone 4 to ios 5.01 I cannot make phone calls or receive phone calls anymore, please help, I am so annoyed first battery and now can't make calls!
The same thing is happening with my wife's iPhone 4 and we can't figure it out. When placing a call, the screen freezes and she needs to restart the entire phone.
She upgraded to 5.01 this morning over the air while it was plugged in. Immediately afterwards, this problem started happening. We've tried restarting the phone several times and plugged in to iTunes but there's nothing she can do do to fix it.
Any help is greatly appreciated! -
I have updated to the lastest OS on my IPad3. No problem there. Then found I could no longer access my Itunes as there was a message 'Cannot be used as it requires version 10.6.3 or later. Go to ... and download'. I have tried four times and it won't work. I get another message saying I must sign in as administrator or contact my system administrator. I am the only one who uses this PC and have no idea what my administrator password is. Now I cannot use ITunes. Please help if you can. Thank you. Eileen Frost
Many thanks diesel. I cannot remember ever having an administrator password. Looks like I shall have to do a restore on my PC and not bother with the updates. Or maybe I could find my password from somewhere ? When I went into control panel I found a box with administrator and my name and it said password protected so I must have had one at some time. Any ideas on how I could find it ? Many thanks anyway. I always use a password to sign on but obviously that is not it. Eileen

I bought a second hand 4s iphone and I can't use the internet on 3g even though it looks like I'm connected ... can you help please?
Who's your carrier?
What country are you in?
Was it from a shop or a personal deal?
If your phone doesn't function on the cellular network, goto the carrier first -
An update from Apple appeared on my iPhone so I downloaded it, it was an IOS update. The screen said to swipe to open, then enter a 4 digit number, which I did then it went to a screen asking for my network info which I entered (except I guessed at the security as being "WPA2", I have not idea, I entered my password and now the only screen that will appear is one stating it is Joining my stated Network??? but nothing is happening and I can't use any of my iPhone features at all? Help
Go back to the previous page. If there's no available wireless networks listed except "Other" which is manually putting the wireless network information, see if you have "activate using cellular" or "connect to iTunes" option.

You will need to obtain the original Apple id ,that is the only way to unlock it
Speak to the original owner .If you cannot it is likely the iPhone was stolen and the activation lock is preventing use by a third party that is you -

i have iphone 3g with ios 4.1 and i can,t download any applications from apple store please help
Your phone is carrier locked to a carrier other than the one you are trying to use.
It was apparently hacked to unlock it prior to your attempt to update. Updating has re-locked it to the original carrier.
Contact them and find out what their policy is. -
