  • Iphone does not restore

    Dear All,
    I have an iphone 8GB it was working fine. suddenly a message appeared on the screen "itune cannot activate your iphone because the SIM card is not inserted or SIM is required ...". There is a SIM in the phone and SIM is working fine in other phones. Any time I was connecting the iphone the pc, it was not syncing.
    I put my iphone to DFU mode then the pc recognized it and itune opened I clicked the Restore button the restore process took while until the bar on my iphone went up to the end at last I get error message " The iphone could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (1013).
    Any solution please.

    Thanks a lot for reply. I have read that and I deleted the new software update from my PC and restored it again still the same problem, changed the cable, used different pc and downloaded the software update manually and installed it still the same.

  • My iphone does not have facetime on it.  I've tried going into restrictions, but there's a passcode that doesn't seem to be one that I've used before.  Is it possible to reset the phone and then just restore a portion of the old information?

    My iPhone does not have Facetime on it.  I've tried going into restrictions, but there's a passcode that doesn't seem to be one that I've used before.  Is it possible to reset the phone and then just restore a portion of the old information?  I've tried several pass codes and now am locked out for an hour after being locked out for 5 minutes and then 15 minutes.  It said that I had tried 7 pass codes prior to these, but I don't remember ever trying to get into restrictions before.
    I've looked up other posts on this, and my phone was purchased in the US and does not have an AE in the model number.

  • How can i fix "the sim card inserted in this iphone does not appear to be supported " after restoring a factory unlocked iphone 4

    how can i fix "the sim card inserted in this iphone does not appear to be supported " after restoring a factory unlocked iphone 4

    The term "factory unlocked" has no meaning. Your phone was not legitimately unlocked. Contact the carrier it is locked to and find out if you can get it unlocked.

  • HT1414 Hi, I did all thoses steps but after restoring I have this message:"The SIM card inserted in this iPhone does not appear to be supported." Could you help me Pleasse!? Thanks

    Please help me with my iphone 3G, I backed it up and restored it(step by step) but after restoring I have this message:"
    The SIM card inserted in this iPhone does not appear to be supported.
    ". My phone worked properly before with my sim card

    99.9% of the time, the cause of this issue is the fact the phone was jailbroken/hacked to unlock it for use on networks other than the network the phone was originally locked to. Apple maintains a database of officially unlocked iPhones, and when Apple's servers detect phones such as yours, activation stops & you get the message you got.
    So, either get a sim card from the carrier your phone was originally locked to, or get it officially unlocked, if you want to activate it. Because it appears that it was not officially unlocked

    Well, first off, you are not addressing Apple here. This is a user to user PUBLIC forum. You should not post your personal information like that. Try closing iTunes, reboot the computer and connect again. Are you using the latest version of iTunes, v11.1?

  • THE SIM CARD INSERTED IN THIS IPHONE DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE SUPPORTED.....

    Hello. I bought on Dec. 17th 2007 at Orange shop in Beausoleil (south France) an iPhone with the option of unlocking the Sim (100 Euro plus). I followed all instructions. Everything was perfect, on Dec. 24th I was able to unlock the iPhone and used with Orange sim, MonacoTelecom sim and Vodafone sim. BUT the iPhone had a problem: when in sleep mode it did't received calls. So Afer 24 hours I stopped to use, UNSAFE. After Christmas holidays I called Apple assistance, they send me UPS and I returned iPhone to Apple (Jan. 4th 2008). I received a NEW iPhone on Jan. 8th 2008, VERY RUSH. Perfect service, I thought (...making terrible error...). The iPhone was LOCKED and I wasn't able to use. Now starts all the problems and for this reason I'm writing.
    I called Apple and Orange many times. Orange didn't received the documents from Apple for the changing of IMEI and Serial, for them I had the first iPhone. After many cals finally I asked Apple to send something official for the changing.
    ....Days goes on and on.......
    Every day two times I called Orange, but evert time I received different versions of my situation. Everyday I tried to restore the iPhone but still simlocked.
    On Jan.15th after a meeting with a lawyer I decided to make pression to Apple: infact I returned them an unlocked iPhone and I received back a locked one.
    I finally was able to speak with a "supervisor" (Mr. F...) and he tried to solve the problem.
    On Jan. 16th I spoke with another "supervisor" (Mr. J...) and he told me to make another time the restore, because they changed the firmware.
    From now I tried to make the restore many times with Orange sim. Everything seems to go well but when I put another sim on iTunes there is a white page with:
    "THE SIM CARD INSERTED IN THIS IPHONE DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE SUPPORTED. Only compatible SIM cards from a supported Carrier may be used to activate iPhone. Please etc etc....".
    So the iphone is locked!!! Maybe is country locked, I don't know.
    Incredible, unbelievable.
    From Apple they told me to wait someting from US, but until now ..... nothing, I received no news from Apple.
    The bad situation is that after more than 30 days after the buy I am not able to use the hardware I bought!
    I hope that someone from Apple can read this post (sorry if is so long, but with this details I think that in Apple can understand the problem).
    I send in warranty an hardware with certain features that I payed to Apple and I received back it with different features.
    That's not serious.
    After many days, next week I think to go by legal means if Apple France is'nt able to solve the issue.
    Many thanks if someone from Apple read my post.
    Many thanks if someone help me.

    But who has to make another unlock? Orange told me that for them is ok and the phone is unlocked. I read on other pages that Apple has a world-database with Imei numbers. So seems Apple can also do the unlock, even for the fact that they returned me a locked phone, different from the one I sent them. The warranty is with Apple, I forgot to warite in my first post that first of all on Janauary I went to Orange shop where I bought the iPhone but they told me for every problem is Apple that has to solve.

  • Can you get your photos back after the iphone does a restore

    Can you get your photos back after the iphone does a restore?

    Actually, wrong.
    The tech support people can help with Playbook purchased apps. If you've called and they said they cannot, you were lied to.
    Even in the link you posted, in #10, it states clearly "App Refund related matters are handled by BlackBerry Customer Care." That, my friend is accessed by the support number. Again, if you were told otherwise, you should inform them of such or ask for a manage/supervisor.
    And, you don't have a "Partner ID" because you are not a "Partner". The section you're referring to applies to mobile providers, which are the Partners.
    Good luck.

  • Dear Sirs,when i use the computer updating my iphone to ios 7.1,suddenly black out.The computer has no power and my iphone does not work and keep display the screen that connect to itunes. so when i connect my iphone to iTunes, it says"itunes has detected

    Dear Sirs,when i use the computer updating my iphone to ios 7.1,suddenly black out.The computer has no power and my iphone does not work and keep display the screen saying the iphone need to connect to itunes. So when i connect my iphone to iTunes, the computer says"itunes has detected an iphone in recovery mode. you must restore this iphone before it can be used with itunes"
    So my question is if I click OK(restore the iphone),will i lose all my data and whatsapp??
    Thank you for your help and time.
    Regards,

    If you didn't back up the phone to iCloud or iTunes (on your computer) BEFORE attempting the update, the data will be lost.

    The SIM card inserted in this iPhone does not appear to be supported.
    The SIM card that you currently have installed in this iPhone is from a carrier that is not supported under the activation policy that is currently assigned by the activation server. This is not a hardware issue with the iPhone. Please insert another SIM card from a supported carrier or request that this iPhone be unlocked by your carrier. Please contact Apple for more information.

    Or if you've recently got the phone unlocked then you'll need to connect it to  itunes and then do a fresh restore to unlock it ,although for most users simply connecting to itunes for few seconds did the trick.

  • After updating my iPhone 4S to IOS6 my iPhone does not appear in iTunes.

    After I updated my iPhone 4S to IOS6, I experienced the following issues.
    1. My iPhone would not connect to WIFI, even though the WIFI icon on my iPhone indicated that it was. This in it self cost me $239.00 in excess data usage. I have since got the WIFI working by resetting my iPhone.
    2. Since I have fixed the WIFI issues, I can not connect to iTunes to restore from backup. My iPhone does not show up in iTunes either via USB or WIFI.
    So my iPhone has non of my music, photo's, apps or settings.
    So if anyone has a solution to my issues please let me know.
    Cheers.

    What version of iTunes are you running?

  • Error: sim card inserted in this iphone does not appear to be supported.

    Hi all--
    Bought an iPhone 5 off ebay. It's totally wiped, and when I go to activate, I get a "Sim Not Valid" error on the phone, and "sim card inserted in this iphone does not appear to be supported" in iTunes.
    It is an AT&T phone, and has an AT&T sim in it. Talked to AT&T, and they said it just needed to be unlocked. I got the seller to go through that process. However, the last step for unlocking is:
    1. Open iTunes on your Mac or PC and verify that you have Internet connectivity.
    2. Ensure the original SIM card that came with this device is inserted in your iPhone.
    3. Connect your iPhone using the dock connector to USB cable that came with your iPhone.
    4. Backup and restore your iPhone using iTunes.
    I assume ideally, the seller was supposed to still have the phone and complete the unlock himself. But I have the phone and cannot backup and restore because I get the sim error in iTunes which blocks me from doing anything as far as I can tell.
    Am I missing a step? Is there any way for me to complete the unlock, or do anything at all to get this phone working even as an iPod, other than sending it back to the seller?
    Thanks.
    Chris

    Then return the phone to the seller and get your money back.
    The symptoms you describe are typical of a phone that was hacked or jailbroken to unlock it at some point. Very often after doing so, when the phone is restored, it becomes completely unable to activate even on the carrier it was originally locked to.

  • Sent items of my exchange account in iphone does not get updated

    Hi..
    sent items of my exchange account in iphone does not get updated. Mails sent from iphone are getting recieved by everyone and same is getting updated in outlook. sent items for the same account in ipad is getting updated. I am not facing this problem with any other folders in my exchange account. someone please provide a solution for this. I have tried resetting, restoring but nothing works...
    Regards,
    Yash

    Hi,
    The problem could be the currency of the valuation area. It has to be the local currency. Maybe the company code has the local currency but the valuation currency is another.
    Without having access to your system it is difficult to say. Maybe double check your customizing for assignment of update types for derived business transactions in spro:
    Transaction Manager
    -> General Settings
         -> Accounting
             -> Settings for Position Management
                  -> Derived Business Transactions
                      -> Update Types
                          -> Assign Update Types for Derived Business Transactions
    I hope this is helpful.

  • "The SIM card inserted in this iPhone does not appear to be supported." On an unlocked replacement iPhone 5.

    I live in the UK and recently got my US model (A1428) iPhone 5 repaired at a UK Apple store. They replaced it with the exact same model.
    The original phone was factory unlocked and I was assuming that the replacement phone would also be. Having done some tests it seems like it is unlocked (e.g. it has 5/5 dots reception and 3G) but I cannot get past the activation stage [iTunes doesn't do the job either]. The following message keeps showing up:
    The SIM card inserted in this iPhone does not appear to be supported.
    The SIM card that you currently have installed in this iPhone is from a carrier that is not supported under the activation policy that is currently assigned by the activation server. This is not a hardware issue with the iPhone. Please insert another SIM card from a supported carrier or request that this iPhone be unlocked by your carrier. Please contact Apple for more information.
    I am planning on bringing it back for help. In the meantime I am able to (using itunes) enter recovery mode, do a restore, update the iOS, etc. but I doubt that would help so I am currently avoiding it.
    Any guidance is appreciated.

    The message you received indicates that the phone is locked to a carrier other than the one for which you have a SIM. You'll need to take the issue up with Apple. Nothing you do with iTunes is going to make a difference. 
    I'm quite surprised that the UK Apple Store replaced a U.S. purchased phone. They usually won't.
    Best of luck.
