    Your phone was hacked or jailbroken to unlock it an dwhen you upgraded your phone locked again to its orginal carrier.  You now need a SIM from that carrier to activate the phone

    PLSS HELP ME OUT !!!!

    Sounds like your phone was hacked to work with any network. Doing the update re-locked it to the original carrier. All you can do now is contact the carrier it is locked to to see if they have an unlocking policy. Note that if it's AT&T they do not offer unlocking. otherwise find an un-activated sim for the original carrier and you can use it as an iPod.

    Insert a SIM from a supported carrier.
    Where did the phone come from,  it sounds like the device has been hacked or jailbroken to be unlocked and updating has re locked to the original carrier. It is also possible that the SIM simply needs to be reseated or replaced.

    That is almost always because the phone was hacked to unlock it from the original carrier.

  • In the middle of restoring my iphone 3Gs in itunes, some kind of error occurred and now my iPhone is stuck on just the factory setting of "connect to itunes" screen. Now my computer will not recognize the usb port. I tried other computers. What can i do?

    I really need help, i had just finished activating my iphone, and now im loosing money because i cannot use it.

    What was the error number?  That would be very useful since the following gives actions for various errors.

    Try manually placing the iPod in recovery mode to see if that will make the iPod visible in iTunes.  See:

  • TS4429 Reset iPhone 5 and now it says "No Service" and something about a SIM card

    Help, please! I basically did a factory reset on my iPhone 5 and it says that I have "No Service" - When I view my phone info, there's not even a number for it. The number says "unknown" ***, HELP. It says that I NOW need a SIM card. It's been working fine without a SIM card, before. Why does it say that? Do I insert a SIM card and then take it back out? I mean, my service provider is Alltel. I was not present when my parents bought me the iPhone, I don't know if Alltel put a SIM card in for the setup and then took it out. When I checked the SIM card slot last night, there's NOTHING there. So, how was it even working before? >.>
    These are the things I've done to TRY and fix the problem and it hasn't worked:
    1. I've reset the network settings, DID NOT WORK
    2. I've reset the factory settings (again) to try out different options like backup to iTunes or iCloud and wifi connections, DID NOT WORK
    3. I've turned on and off airplane mode, DID NOT WORK
    4. I've turned off and on my phone, DID NOT WORK
    5. I've tried multiple online Apple Support steps, DID NOT WORK
    Help....................

    Thanks for your respons,.
    I'm facebooking and emailling everyone to contact Alltel for me. My parents, for example, are just NOT understanding what's going on. They're like "The service is paid for, so I don't know why it's messed up." And, I'm like, I KNOW the service is paid for, that's not the problem. The problem is I reset my phone and now it has NO number on it. The number is listed as "unknown" instead of my actual number with digits. So, I'm pretty sure Alltel can put the number back onto my iPhone, right? I mean, this is ridiculous.

  • My iPhone 3GS battery loses at least 30% charge when off for at least an hour

    My iPhone 3GS battery loses at least 30% charge when off for at least an hour, I took it in to an apple retail store at the end of 2010 and they told me it was fine but advised I restore and set up as a new iPhone which I did, it got better for about a month then went back to normal losing battery. I have no hardware coverage left and my specs are: iPhone 3GS 16gb  IOS 4.3.3 white. I have had it since December 2009.

    I'm afraid I don't. I don't know if the phone is still within warranty. I don't know which country you are in. I don't know what third party repair companies charge where you are.
    Hang on - I do know one thing: if your phone is still covered by warranty - it's free!

  • My iphone 3gs battery drains very fast

    my iphone 3gs battery drains very fast it won't last for whole day
    i just uses mail application and  facebook for some time
    can u tell why the problem is or need to change battery

    I'm having the same problem with my 3Gs.  In my case it is not the apps int he background or the brightness, or wifi or email push.  The folks at the apple stroe tell me that there is some software glitch that shows up every few months.
    I can only get rid of it by restoring my phone as a new device.  In which case I lose all of my contacts, settings and all data.  VERY frustrating. I had recived two new phones (before applecare ran out) and have done the resotre several times.  No one can tell me what is in that creates this probelm.  I've tried differenet chargers one by one in case they are the probelm.  one int he car, one in a kitchen outlet, one at my home computer (sync) and on at my office computer (non-sync). 
    Problem just showed up again randomly two days ago,  no new apps or hardware.  battery drains from full to 0 in two hours.
    Apple, please fix.

    Yes but as i told you i have 3g off operator is in manual mode ( vodafone es) and no wifi or other connetion are on....
    Update of the firmware?
    Thanks
    That is NOT what you said previously. You said: "I try to close all the app, close all tab of safari, roaming is off for the data" We are NOT psychic. Your original statement does NOT indicate that you have 3g off.
    If the phone is unable to lock onto the preferred  provider you set in manual mode, it will be constantly searching for the carrier signal. This will drastically reduce battery life. If you are out of range of the carrier you want to use, put the phone in airplane mode.

  • My iphone 3GS battery exploded, and made the whole phone bloated.

    My iphone 3GS battery exploded, and made the whole phone bloated.  I contact my local apple support and they said it is a normal case when battery is used for more than one year.  Where else can I can some reasonable explanations and solution from apple about my phone.  My phone cannot be used, and I have lost alot of valuable data and photos.  Can I recover them?  What can I do now?

    If you've been using your phone as recommended, you've been syncing your data to your computer frequently, and importing any photos taken by the iPhone to your computer (or using photostream).  If you  havent' been doing this, then you've no one to blame for any data loss and any phone, which can be damaged, dropped, stolen or otherwixe become inoperable was NEVER meant to be a storage device.
    As far as your battery is concern, is is NOT normal for the battery to "explode" after a year.  Contact an authorized Apple service provider or Apple itself to see what your replacement options are.
