My iPhone 3gs its not working I erased and there is missing a software i need a help to solve it

Hi , I have an iPhone 3gs 16gb . Long time ago i just give to my wife so she can use it and after that she didn't need it anymore so i took it back the iPhone to use it but it didn't take my SIM Card so i try to erase everything inside the iPhone so i can use mine , I'll try to connect my Iphone to my PC to make an update with my SIM Card through iTunes , after 2 second i saw there that i must put another SIM Card that supported  operator . I think its stucked there so i can do nothing about my Iphone & i need an solution about my Phone . The "iOS 6.1.3 " i think & I'm not sure , is there someone can help me about my iPhone? Please and thanks.

It sounds like at some time the device was hacked to be able to work with the carrier you were using. Are you using a different carrier now than you were using before? Restoring a hacked device would restore the carrier lock that was on the phone. If you are seeing that particular error, the only alternatives are to either use the carrier it is locked to, or contact them to see if they provide unlocking services and if you qualify for unlocking.

  • My iphone 3gs is not working properly, when switched on it says 'Update Completed' as though it has just been updated. On the next screen it says to 'Connect to iTunes'. It doesn't, however, connect to iTunes and more often than not just resets itself.

    My iPhone 3gs is not working properly and hasn't been since about September of last year. When switched on (Quite often it won't even turn on) it says 'Update Completed' as though it has just been updated. On the next screen it says to 'Connect to iTunes'. It doesn't, however, connect to iTunes and just resets itself over and over until power is gone. Occasionally after switching on and off a few times it functions normally for a few hours and some times even a couple of days but eventually always turns itself off and goes back to the 'Update Completed' screen. Does anyone know what might be causing this and/or a way of fixing it?

  • Iphone 3gs will not activate after restore and update

    my sons iphone 3gs will not activate after restore and ios update.
    phone keeps saying no service but worked fine before restore and update any ideas ? thanks

    Sorry. The jailbreak is undoubtedly the root cause of your problem.
    It is not always possible to repair the damage done by jailbreaking.
    Try searching google for an answer, but be prepared to just buy a new phone.

  • My iphone 3gs will not connect to itunes and it says that I need to do a system restore. It also says that I need to enter my password on the iphone to connect to itunes but I can not do this because the phone is in emergency phone call mode only.

    Turn your phone off and connect your cable to the computer, but not the device just yet. Start up iTunes. Now, hold down the home button on your phone and plug it in to the cable - don't let go of the button until iTunes tells you it's detected a phone in recovery mode. Now you can restore to factory settings.
    Unfortunately, the data on your phone is already gone if you're seeing the connect to iTunes logo.

  • My iphone 3gs is not communicating with itunes and in windows there is an exclamation mark

    my iphone 3gs is not communicating with itunes and in windows there is an exclamation mark next to the usb device.  tried removing itunes and reloading, all softwares up to date. just got a new iphone 4s which is on charge but not switched on and used.

    For Windows Vista/7 http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes
    For Windows XP http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925.
    Make sure you follow these instructions completely with the phone disconnected from the computer. After the reinstallation, reconnect the phone and it should load the new USB driver.

  • After restoring definitions iphone 3gs does not works, after restoring definitions iphone 3gs does not works

    after restoring definitions iphone 3gs does not works

    What do you mean by "restoring definitions"?
    What EXACTLY is your problem?
    "does not works" is just a bit vague.

  • After upgrade to 4.3.3 my iphone 3gs ipod not working

    Please.can someone suggest possible fixes for this problem. I have just upgraded the software on my iphone 3gs to version 4.3.3
    and discovered the ipod function not working all the content is still listed but when I try to play a song it just throws me back to the main menu
    after about 3 seconds. What can I do? Have searched this forum and searched online but have not come across a user with the same problem.
    Any advice gratefully received.

    After upgrading to the latest iTunes version (9.2.0.61), iTunes does not recognize my iPhone.
    I have tried:
    switching cables,
    switching USB ports,
    restarting computer,
    repairing iTunes,
    uninstalling and downloading 64-bit version then installing,
    uninstalling and downloading Windows 7 version then it would not install,
    verified that AMDS had started,
    restarted AMDS.
    I have tried all of these things at various times and in various orders. I did get iTunes to see my phone once, but because I have been working on this a few hours, I don't remember the sequence I used. I do know that when I closed and restarted iTunes it no longer recognized my phone again.
    I connected my iPhone to a different computer that does have iTunes latest version, (9.2.0.61) and it was recognized. That computer is a HP Pavilion a6530f PC running Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit version.

  • If my IPhone 3GS is not working,when I go speak to Apple will they exchange it for an IPhone 4 or will I just get another 3GS?

    I am wondering this because today I went to an AT&T store since my IPhone 3GS is working not so well and I barely got it about four months ago,they said that I would have to go to an Apple store which I am going to do Sunday but my IPhone 3GS be exchanged by an IPhone 4 or the same model as right now?Also,if I don't get the IPhone 4 is there any chance I would be able to buy it from them,no higher than 100 dollars?

    Replacements are same model, size, and color.  99.9999999% of the time there is no exception and the exception is always Apple's decision.  This has only ever happened when Apple does not have sufficient quantities of service units for replacement of a specific model.
    Apple does not offer "upgrades" or exchanges during the warranty replacement part.  If you want a newer model, you must purchase it at full retail (or subsidized price from your carrier if you qualify).

  • IPhone 3GS GPS not working

    So I am gonna try this because I know others haven't got a response they have liked or helped…
    I have a 3GS, running iOS on my iPhone 3GS, but still am having issues with the GPS, I am sure others are still having this issue. I found this thread awhile ago, but there wasnt much follow-up on this from Apple, Go to a Genius Bar, plus people in this thread have said that they did that and nothin has worked, or the Mac Genius suggested it might just need the SIM card replaced… I really dont think that would help
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=11248780
    So… Apple can you guys just give some clarity on whats is up with this, I mean I am loyal and keep buying your products, but it is only fair that you share just a lil bit of info like: "an update is coming soon to fix this or its a hardware issue, come on in and it will be resolved."
    Let me know if anyone else is still having issues or has a resolution
    Thx

    What Modem Firmware are you using on the phone?

  • IPhone 3gs wifi not working

    I'm using an iPhone 3GS and an airport express (the first version to have 802.11n capability) with the latest firmware/iOS on each.  I've set up my airport express which is working fine with my macbook.  When I go to connect my iPhone to the network, I can go into the WiFi settings, find the network, enter the password, but then instead of connecting all the way, the "loading spinner" just sits next to the network forever and the top left corner of the screen continues to say "3G".  I can use Airport Utility on my phone to manipulate the airport settings and I can even use AirPlay, but for data my phone continues to rely on 3G.  I've tried turning off cellular data, at which point the "connected to WiFi" icon shows up at the top of the phone, but no app is able to use any data functions (safari says I'm not connected to the internet).
    I know my router is working fine since I'm able to connect with my laptop and use the internet as I always would.  I've tried changing channels, making sure that 802.11 b/g is enabled, "forgetting the network" in my phone, restarting my phone, restarting the router, and restarting the modem, and trying to connect my phone when it is the only device on the network.  Any thoughts on what else might be causing this problem?

    Open the setup page of rouer,under the security tab..Uncheck Block Anonymous Internet Requests and click on Save Settings...Under the Wireless tab,click on the subtab Advance Wireless Settings tab and Change the Beacon Interval to 75,Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304,Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 and Click on Save Settings...
    Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...
