Itunes "can't activate the ipohne, the sim card is'n t inside"

i have a 8GB iphone 3g with movistar, spain, and suddenly the device resarted without touch it, and never get working again, i t stucks at the booting apple logo for a while, then it restart again in a loop.
i restored it with the last software availabl from apple, but now, the problem is that itunes says the sim card it's not inside or is protected with the pin, but the screen in the iphone just shows the apple logo.
what can i do???
now i'm living in londo, so for me it's not possible to give the iphone to the movistar service in spain...

thank you
i'm now living in london, so I brought it to the apple store, and they told me that the iphone is spanish, so i have to bring it to a spanish SAT (in spain there isn't an Apple Store, so I have to bring it to the Movistar staff, and the past experiences tell me that they don't know a word about iphone, speak with them is like ask to your mother)

After 7.1.1 I can't activate IP5 with same sim card

Nobody can help me ?
After using my ip5 with same carrier TURKCELL from Turkey) and sim card ,I upgraded it 7.1.1.
And now I cant activate it . It gives error "The simcard inserted doesnt appear to be supported"
The same sim card runs normally in other iphone5 s but not in my ip5.
I did restore many times . If I check another sim card from same carrier no way again.

Most likely the phone had been hacked to unlock it. When you upgraded the new OS undid the hack.

You need a SIM card to activate, After you're done with that you can remove SIM and use like an iPod touch. Link below provides all info you need. Cheers!

Typically this indicates a device that has been hacked to be unlocked or jailbroken.
If that is the case, no support can be provided here.

Its a serious problem and many people are facing the same issue on both locked and factory unlocked phones.
I wonder when Apple will address to this issue. After all it is losing all its reputation!
See this thread, many users are encountering the same issue:

I believe its a software issue and could be solved asap Apple fixes it!

Your iPhone was "unofficially" unlocked by some means to work with a different carrier. Now that you have updated it has relocked to the original carrier. If you do not know who the original carrier was you will need to call AppleCare and give them the model and serial number of your iPhone. Then you will need to contact that carrier to see if they have a process to unlock the phone and if you qualify.

TS1292 Hi, the number on my iTunes card is unreadable, can I activate it with the serial number?

Hi, the number on my iTunes card is unreadable, can I activate it with the serial number?

You will need to try contacting iTunes Support (you will probably need to give them images of the front and back of the card, and possibly its receipt) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then iTunes Cards And Codes

Return it for a refund, if you can. Otherwise, sell it to someone that can use it on Sprint's network in the US.
Fact is, Sprint will only unlock the sim slot for customers using the phone on their network...obviously not you. Sorry, but you wasted your money.

I did not deactivate a photoshop cs6 before there was a new "C" hard drive installed on my computer and a Win7 Pro fresh install too. How can I activate photoshop on the new hardware if I can't deactivate it on the old hardware that is no longer available? Any help will be appreciated.

If it's the same machine (same CPU) there should not be any need to activate. The actiovation is tied to your CPU.

With verson 12.01.26 my iTunes can no longer connect to the iTunes store or iTunes Match

After downloading iTunes version 12.01.26 on my PC my iTunes can no longer connect to the iTunes store or iTunes Match. My itunes displayed a message at the top that it was connecting to the iTunes Store. After closing my laptop and opening it again after a few hours, there was a message stating that my computer was unable to connect to iTunes because of a problem with my internet connection. My laptop is connecting fine with the internet, yet not through the iTunes program, or at least it seems that way. I'm not positive but feel like the issue may have stemmed when I downloaded the new version, I think maybe I messed up the process somehow by closing my computer or something.

ITunes Can't Be Installed Nor The Components Can't Be Uninstalled

iTunes Can't Be Installed Nor The Components Can't Be Uninstalled
I was trying to update my iTunes to the latest when I accidentally plugged off the computer. I switched on the computer back to check the iTunes, it says to re-install the iTunes whenever I click it, so I tried re-installing it (Both iTunes and Quicktime), but I'm having a hard time, it says (click the screenshot I made) all the time:

Whenever I click retry, it doesn't do anything, so I had no choice but to cancel it.

This suddenly appears when I click cancel.

Was interrupted.
I saw alot of cases like this and had a successful ending, I tried what everyone is saying, but neither of it didn't work.
I tried repairing the Apple Mobile Device Support, here's what it says:

I uninstall it using the control panel but didn't work, instead I use the Ccleaner to fix the registry (I can't really see any files that are related to apple) and to uninstall it and it did was removed from the list but the files are still there.
I read in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 that all programs should be uninstalled.
1. iTunes
2. QuickTime
3. Apple Software Update (Successfully Uninstalled)
4. Apple Mobile Device Support (Successfully Uninstalled but the files can't be removed)
5. Bonjour (Successfully Uninstalled but the files can't be removed)
6. Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
I already did uninstall listed above, but I still see their folders on my computer/program files. Whenever I try to delete it. it says:

Please help! I don't even know what to do unless I'll reformat my computer but I don't want to do that, I tried lots of things for my iTunes to work, none of them seemed to help me. I can't use my iPhone / iPad / iPod with musics and videos, it's just so boring without entertainment.
(Step-By-Step)
Thanks in advance!

I had the same problem this weekend. The iphone 4s needed Itunes10.5 to sync to her Asus Windows 7 Laptop. When I tried to download from the Apple website I got the error that the windows installer was missings files or something like that. I uninstalled itunes and tried again but that didn't work. Then I redownloaded itunes 10.3 just to have a working version in case I gave up. Then I found site that suggested I update Windows by going through the start menu and while doing that I found an update Apple itunes file.
Goto Start and type Widows Update in the seach window. Click on check for updates (I already was current with all updates but I suggest you download the updates if there are some available.
Goto start and this time just type update in the search window. Look for the Apple itunes update link and click on it. It found there were updates for itunes 10.5, Quick time, Safari, and Icloud. I checked all the updates except for Safari, since we don't use it (yet).
The install started then seemed to stall at one spot for ~3min but then completed successfully. I open itunes and had her synced with Outlook Contact, Email, Calender, and Notes in 5 minutes. I did already configure Outlook by going to tools and Trust Center.
I hope this works.
