My friend is trying to put a new sim in my unlocked iphone 4
and it keeps saying SIM not valid?
Which most likely indicates that the phone is not unlocked. Was it purchased as unlocked? Unlocked by the original carrier? Are you using a supported cellular provider's SIM?

TS4148 I'm trying to install a new SIM card in the iPhone 4 and it just says no service?
I've tried everything I can think of, I have to await a text from O2, however I can't get any service to receive the text.
You have to set up international use with Verizon. Your phone is a CDMA version, which is a network type used in the USA. The rest of the world is on GSM type network.
Contact Verizon and have them set up your phone and out fit you with a SIM card. -
iHave an old iMac that i tried to put a new version of iTunes onto and now i can't use iTunes. Is there a way to reverse that. I tried to update quicktime and it won't let me
Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time? -
Hi everyone! I tried to install the new iOs 7 on my iphone 4, but it wasn't completed (showing error 4005). Now, my iphone is stuck on the itunes' logo with the usb cord, and I can't use my phone. And itunes doesn't detect my iphone when I connect it on my computer, so I can't put it in recovery mode or someting like that... What can I do?? I tried everything they tell me to do in the apple support but nothing seems to work. Thank you!
No problem, glad to help!
Update: my PC USB hub was connected to a USB 3 port, I connected the 30 pin cable directly to my PC, And the restore worked just fine. Restored phone from iCloud backup and seems to be working fine. -
I found an iphone over one year ago. Its locked with a passcode. I kept waiting for the owner to call it. They never did. I went to an AT&T store today, they put a new sim card in it. and told me to go home, log on to itunes, and restore the phone to "factory settings".But itunes says the phone is locked and it needs the passcode to reset it to factory settings.
Any workaround? Or, am I doing something wrong here?
Thanks so much.
JoeSounds like you may be the owner of a new phone! If you don't need or want it and no one claims it you probably can sell it. Check eBay to see what the going rate is.
You are to be commended for at least trying to find the owner. Many wouldn't.
Best.

I am living in uk at the moment and i have an unlocked iphone 4s. Each time i put a new sim in it a message appears saying ''Activation Required''. When i slide the unlock bar it asks to choose a wifi network or a mobile data network. So far this hasnt been a problem coz i always found a wifi network around me or the mobile data network worked fine. Now the problem is I am moving back to my country Bangladesh in couple of days. And back there wifi isnt a very available thingie. And mobile data network is very hard to connect. So if i put on a Bangladeshi mobile service sim in my phone how do i activate it without the wifi or mobile data network? Please some help asap would be much appreciated.
Hi Allan,
Sorry for the rant up there.. Thanks for your quick response. I couldn't get to an Apple store and can't order anything from the States that contains Lithium ION batteries -- no U.S. Postal Services will deliver these to us anymore. Target sold this to me as an unactivated Sprint phone. I never activated it through Sprint in the States and just took it to Germany with me. I updated to vs.6.0 via ITunes and without the Sprint SIM Card installed. The IPhone is now accessible (Apps, Settings, etc., to be able to check firmware, et al., settings. However, I can't tell if it's unlocked (since I upgraded the version without the Sprint SIM Card installed) until I go to the local cell phone shop and stuff in a BASE (provider) SIM card and test it out. Is there a way to tell whether or not the phone is unlocked without a SIM card in it? I don't think there is.... -
I am wanting to put the new firmware on to my iPhone 4 and am wondering if I do this from another computer will I loose all my data - i.e music
No you will not lose any data. However a pop up will come up telling you if you want to sync with this computer, and that if you do, that it will erase the data. Just click "No" and you can still update your phone. I've done this a few times.

I bought a used sprint 4s and tried to put my motorola sim which is also on sprint network into phone but it doesnt work is there something i need to do to make it work or am i SOL? major problem is that my current motorola phone is issued to me from my employer but phone ***** so i want to upgrade to the ipone i purchased but it still needs to work like my company phone as they pay the bill. help me pls
A Sprint iPhone uses CDMA when in the US. The SIM is used only when not in the US.
To use it in the US, you have to have Sprint activate it, but it is unlikely they will activate in on your company's account. -
i put a new sim card and a new number on this phone but for some reason it is paired with a Lady who can read all my texts how do i fix this?
You bought the phone from this lady right and she did not turn off imessage. Try turning off imessage and restart the phone. Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost). Wait a few minutes and turn imessage back on

I have been trying to set a new voicemail greeting on my iphone 4s but every time i check the 'save' button it says voicemail unavaliable, try again later. Really do not know what else to try. Any help would be greatly appreciated! thanks
Voicemail is a Carrier feature... Contact your Carrier...
But first... Try This...
Close All Open Apps... Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

Very slow query when specifying where clause
