Itunes doesn't recognize iphone sim card after installing io5

I sent hours trying to upgrade my Iphone 3gs to io5 and now Itunes doesn't recognize the phone sim card, I only have a message saying 'There is no sim card in the Iphone you are trying to activate'.   Iphone is no longer under warranty, so I don't know what to do if doesn't work any more.
Any advice very welcome Thank you!

Same problem with my 3GS :
Impossible to activate IOS 5 because itunes say "sorry there is no sim inside"...
I tried everything and the problem is found on many forum. many people can not activate their iPhone after installing the update.

  • IPhone doesn't recognize my SIM Card after update to iOS 5.1

    I updated my iOS to 5.1 yesterday and after that my iPhone doesn't recognize my SIM Card. What has happened to my iPhone?

    It was probably jailbroken or hacked to unlock it. If that's the case it is now bricked. You may be able to find an answer on Google, but you cannot get help here.

  • HT4972 Why won't my iPhone 4 recognize my sim card after update?

    Why won't my iPhone 4 recognize my sim card after update?
    I updated my iPhone 4 over wifi and it went through the process fine, until it switched back on and now refusese to recognize my sim card!
    Any ideas?

    Usually this means the phone was previously jailbroken or hacked to unlock it from the carrier it was locked to, and the update re-locked it to that carrier.

  • My iphone 4s doesn't recognize my SIM card

    I went to trade 4S for 5C and couldn't get credit for it because I couldn't wipe phone. Can I get a functioning SIM card to trade in otherwise good phone? It looks brand new and is a year old.

        Hello greg5844.
    I'm sorry you are having difficulty trading in your phone. The iPhone 4S doesn't require a SIM card to function but does have the option for an optional Global SIM card. If you are trying to erase your personal information from your iPhone 4S please make sure you turn off iCloud first (Settings>iCloud) and then go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings.

    Hello again, GiannisFromAthens.
    At this point, considering that the primary issue is with getting the Windows update resolved, we need to get that taken care of first. To do so you may need to consult Microsoft, or whoever supports the installation of Windows on your computer, for more troubleshooting to resolve it.
    Once that is resolved, if you are still experiencing the issue, you may find better information by using another of Apple's Support resources at https://expresslane.apple.com/GetProductGroupList.action for a more hands on response.

  • My iphone 4s (ios 6.1) doesn't recognize my sim card with 3g

    I've been using my iphone's 3g for 2 weeks, but now it stopped working, whenever the 3g logo appears on top of the screen my phone stop working, i can't even recieve calls or send a text messeage, but when the E appears (EDGE i think) the phone works or either without the mobile internet, maybe is the sim card, i cut my old sim manually to turn it to a micro-sim, or the software, i heard that iOS 6.1 crashes a lot, i'm using an argentinian carrier

    Hello, ClayJM.
    Good job on your attempts to troubleshoot the issue already. Wanted to point out a good article I found:
    iOS: Troubleshooting applications purchased from the App Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1702
    Although it states it's for purchased apps it has specific steps to try that might still be helpful in your situation. Specifically Steps 4 and 5 have always been useful for me:
    4. Restart the application
    If the issue affects only a single app, try closing just that app:
    Press the Home button to return to the Home screen.
    Double-tap the Home button to display recent apps.
    Tap and hold the affected app until the red minus appears.
    Tap the red minus to quit the app.
    Press the Home button, then restart the app.
    5. Restart your device
    Hold the Sleep/Wake button until "slide to power off" appears. Slide to power off your device. When it is off, press the Sleep/Wake button to turn it back on.
    Thanks for reaching out to us on Apple Support Communities.

  • Failure to backup while updating 3GS to iOS5 - now iTunes doesn't recognize iPhone!

    Hi, I'm trying to update my 3GS to iOS5. Working on a brand-new Macbook Pro with Lion 10.7.2. Made sure I had the newest iTunes (10.5), synced my phone, transferre purchases to the computer, backed up manually for good measure. Downloaded the iOS5 update with no problem, and started the update process. Seemed to be going slowly but surely through the "backup" step of the update process. I left for five or ten minutes, and came back to a possible disaster:
    - computer had gone to sleep (guess I could have changed preferences, but I assumed that the update-in-progress would keep the computer awake)
    - iPhone screen shows the "plug USB into iTunes" graphic
    - when I woke up the computer, it showed an error message - upgrade failed. I'm pasting the text from the iPhone Updater Log below... it ends with "Restore Error 2009."
    - iPhone no longer shows up as a device in iTunes (or iPhoto). Tried closing and opening iTunes, disconnecting and reconnecting iPhone from USB port, and moving to second USB port. None of these worked. iPhone screen continues to display the "connect USB to iTunes" graphic. I found some relevant lines in the "all messages" log - pasting those below too.)
    Anything I can do, short of bring both computer and phone to the Apple Store? (The phone is past warranty but I have AppleCare for the new computer)
    Does the failure to back up mean that there is no previous backup I can get to? Any way to check if there's a working backup on the computer without it recognizing the iPhone?
    All my apps, contacts, calendar items, music and photos are on my computer, so at least it seems that my data is not all lost. But the phone-to-computer connection doesn't seem to be coming back. Wonder if restarting computer could get it to recognize iPhone, but afraid of doing any more damage.
    Any help appreciated! Thanks,
    Adam

  • IPhone 4 runs without SIM card after installing iOS 7/7.1.1

    After installing iOS 7 and all the latest update by using iTunes on my iPhone 4 I now have the problem that when starting the phone without a phone card I get the information that the SIM card is blocked and that you have to slide to unlock, the same information you usually receive when such a card is inside. Once unlocked the code screen appears asking for the PIN. The iPhone runs after having entered the PIN and you can open and work with all the apps which don't need an access to the internet like Calendar, Notes, Settings etc.. What has gone wrong? Can anybody help me please.

    The SIM is only actually required during activation. And if you want a connection to a cellular carrier, of course. Once activated, the SIM can be removed and the device can be used as if it were an iPod Touch. This has always been this way.
    I'm not entirely clear on what you think is wrong.

  • I connected my ipad to a mac computer to stream a video, and now it doesn't recognize my sim card! Help!

    I had a movie in my ipad and wanted to see it on the tv. So i connected it to a friend's mac. Automatically when i connected it, itunes (his itunes) asked my for the name of the ipad and other stuff i don't remember.  We were able to see the movie but when i disconected the ipad  it says "No sim" even if the sim card is where it always is. Now i don't have any internet! (i'm using an ipad 2)
    does anyone know what happened?

    Download iTunes for your computer, by going to http://apple.com/iTunes Then connect it to iTunes and see what happens. If nothing happens try doing hard reset, by pressing the home and wake/sleep button, ignore the red slider, and continue pressing until it turns off and turns back on.

  • ITunes doesn't recognize iPhone and Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is missing

    Hi. iTunes does not recognize my iPhone when I connect it to my PC via USB. I found iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows and went through the listed steps to diagnose the problem. The problem seems to be the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver. It is not listed in Device Manager and it does not seem to be installed on my PC. I followed directions for "If the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is not listed" and I was not able to find anything. In that case there are no further steps that you can take listed on iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes. I then uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes and other software components (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923) three times but each time Apple Mobile Device USB Drive was missing. If anyone can advise me I would greatly appreciate it.

  • ITunes doesn't recognize audio CD's after upgrading to 6.0

    I have just upgraded to iTunes version 6.0 and now it doesn't recognize audio CD's when I put them in the CD drive. iTunes no longer lists the name of the CD and the song name on each track.
    Can anyone offer help?
    Thanks

    hi russeel!
    when i first upgraded to 5.0.1.4 i panicked for a while looking for that tab (and the Burning one) ... the subtab that i find kind of strange is "Advanced-General". Generally Advanced? Not Tremendously Advanced?

  • My itunes will not recognize my ipod shuffle after installing Mcafee

    My itunes will not recognize my Ipod shuffle, I have tried almost everything Itunes has suggested including uninstalling and installing Itunes.  I am at a loss, the computer recognizes the ipod and assigns a drive to it.  When I click on the drive there are flies in it.  I have disabled the firewall, checked all firewall settings as suggested in previous forums.  I have tried deleting the temp files but that keeps getting hung up on a file that says it is in use.  I can stll use my ipod because it charges but I can not update songs etc.
    I contacted Mcafee but all they did was turn the firewall off (I could have done that myself).
    If there is any help I would appreciate it!
    Thanks,
    Nadine

    The first thing I did in the morning was contact McAfee they turned the firewall off it didnt work so they said it wasnt their problem.  I attempted several other things using ITunes help but none of the solutions worked.  I would say it is something in my computer but the drive shows up in my files so the computer is reading the USB port.  I tried changing the drive but that didnt help.
    I cannot find a universal "OFF switch" in McAfee But I have turned the firewall off several times after many different attempts.
    I do not find an area where I can tell Itunes where the Ipod is in Windows Explorer, that would be helpful at least it could try to locate it then. You would think this feature would be available since Itunes would like us to purchase music through them to load on our equipment.  Since my computer does not recognize my Ipod there is no need for me to purchase music.
    Do I sound frusturated - I AM But I appreciate your trying to help.

  • Itunes doesn't recognize ipod touch even after I download latest version

    About a week ago my ipod touch froze on the apple logo screen. I found a way to reset the factory setting and then try something else (can't remember what it was) where the itunes logo shows up on the screen and you plug it into your computer. After I did that a message came up that said "The ipod "ipod touch" cannot be used because it requires itunes version 9.2 or later. Go to itunes.com to download the latest version of itunes". I did that and it still won't recognize it. I even downloaded the latest version of iTunes 3 times and after I plug my ipod in still the same message. I got this ipod touch as a Christmas gift in 2009. A friend of my mom's bought a car and it came with it. She didn't want it so she gave it to me. So, I'm not even sure which version it is. I've had no problems with it up until now. What do I need to do to get itunes to recognize my ipod? There's got to be more than downloaded the latest version several times- I know that's not good.

    Start here:
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    I would start by removing and reinstalling all the Apple software using the instructions in the link.
