You will need to establish an account with whoever the phone is locked with and restore it. Or you will not to unofficially unlock it again.

HELP! i turned my phone on and it will only let me make emergency calls!!!!

I had been having trouble syncing my iPhone to my Mac computer.
One day, after i installed Leopard, i plugged my phone into my computer.
Normally what happens is iTunes and iPhoto pop up and my phones little logo comes up in each application. But, what actually happened was only iPhoto came up, so i was confused.
I opened up iTunes, but the phone still wasn't showing up. It also wasn't syncing with iCal either. So i had been reading articles on problems with the iphone and i hadn't found anything, so i went to my schools tech guy and he as a iphone and a mac too, so we plugged my phone into his computer, and what do you know, it showed up in HIS itunes. I unplugged my phone from his computer and noticed i had no service. So i waited like 15 minutes and nothing changed, so i shut my phone off and turned it back on, and this weird screen came up. Its like a picture of the plug and a arrow pointing to the itunes logo, still saying i have no service, and only letting me make emergency calls. i plugged it into my computer and nothing happened. what do i do!?

I have the same problem. iTunes says There was a problem downloading the iPhone software for the iPone "XXXXXX". The requested resource was not found.
I cannot fix the problem.

New Iphone 4 factory unlocked: "No SIM" "Insert Valid SIM with no pin lock"

Hi, I'm new in the forum.
I've just bought a new factory unlocked Iphone 4 from a top rated seller in USA, came back to my country, inserted my Sim in the Iphone, and got the message:
"No Sim" "Insert valid sim with no pin lock to activate Iphone"
This Sim I was using in my old Iphone and actually in a Blackberry Storm.
After the message I put it back again in the BB, and it works fine.
But in the Iphone I get always this message.
One thing: My SIM is a regular one, and I had to use a tempalte available in the net to cut it into a micro SIM.
In the BB it keeps on working.
Any idea?
Thnak you
Luis

I answer your question: I buy a lot of things from ebay, and I just looked for "an original factory unlocked" one, assuming their are original, just that.
If I had known I could have bought it CHEAPER directly in Apple, I would have never done it in ebay! (I was told in my country that if you buy in the web, normally you get a discount, sound logic to me.
On the other hand I saw that this seller sold over 1000 Iphones and I trusted that's all.
I'm not dealing with phones, I sell art.
Anyway I still trust what is written there, that they are factory unlocked, and I'll try what you say tomorrow with my carrier: I'll buy a micro sd, and if it still doesn't work, I'll write this seller to see what's going on
Thanks for your advice
Luis

I am confused. You said till you Erases all contents and setting yu could not turn it and iTunes did not see it. How could you Erase all Contents and Setting if you could not turn it on?

My iphone 4 photo auto rotation was not functioning, might be accidentally locked as I can see a locked symbol with a circle with an arroe surrounding it at the top right angle , next to the power % indicator. Please advise how to unlock it.

My iphone 4 photo/message auto rotation was not functioning, might be accidentally locked as I can see a locked symbol with a circle with an arroe surrounding it at the top right angle , next to the power % indicator. This function was working perfectly since day 1.
Please advise how to unlock it.

Swipe upwards from the bottom of the screen to open Control Center. You will then find the orientation lock in the top row, last icon on the right. White is on, black is off. Tap and turn it off. If you see the lock symbol, then orientation lock is on, and that is what is keeping it in the portrait mode.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My Iphone 5 says it has 7552 songs on it, however my iTunes only has 4125 on it. How do i get my phone to stop saying i have that many songs?

My Iphone 5 says it has 7552 songs on it, however my iTunes only has 4125 on it. How do i get my phone to stop saying i have that many songs?

It seems to happen with songs that were purchased before synchronizing the new iPhone
I will tell you how I fixed it.
Note: I have iTunes in spanish so I will try to translate and figure out the commands that appear on ITunes in english. I will put my translations into brackets. English is not my native language. I will do my best.
The workaround is:
1.- Dragg no working songs from iTunes to a folder on the hard disk. (Only for backup purposes)
2.- Deleted those songs from iTunes library.
3.- On the left panel in ITunes click on "Purchased" under the STORE option. All your purchased songs will appear on the right panel
4.- At the bottom and right there is the option : "Download Previous Purchases". Click there.
5.- Click on the option "Are not in my Library" (top right)
6.- The songs you deleted from iTunes will appear.
7.- Downloaded them again. (You have the option to download at the bottom right)
8.- Syncronize your iPhone and that's all.

My itunes files were deleted. I was able to use an old back up file to restore some but new downloaded purchases from iTunes for the past 5 months weren't in the back up. How do I get those back since I've paid for them one before and use the same account

My itunes files were deleted. I was able to use an old back up file to restore some but new downloaded purchases from iTunes for the past 5 months weren't in the back up. How do I get those back since I've paid for them one before? Can you redownload? If so, how?? Please help as I'm missing over 500 previously paid for and downloaded iTunes song purchases.

This was EXACTLY what I needed about the purchases I made from my device. However, is there a way to re-download other ones you've made from a computer? Because I realized some of them were not just purchased from my device.
This is a picture of what it looks like now:

As you can see, the stuff circled in red doesn't give me an option to download from Cloud Beta because it already says "downloaded".
any way to get around that?

My iPhone will not send an iMessage. It sends everything as SMS. I have ensured that my Apple ID is signed in and that my phone number is enabled for use in both FaceTime and iMessage

I had the same problem. I went in and added my email address to iMessage and deleted the text to my friends that have iPhones and sent another to test it and it worked. Only thing is now my non iPhone friends don't receive my pic text. I had to turn off iMessage for it to work. Apple needs to fix this ASAP!

How can I restrict the usage of a iPhone 5c? I would only like my daughter to be able to use her phone between 7am and 10pm central. Any ideas how to do this or an app to use?

Hi! i believe there is no preinstalled app than can do that for you, however you can use a third party software, such as this: http://www.bitworks-engineering.co.uk/Apps/TimeLock_App/Welcome.html or this https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/parental-timelock-time-limit/id689577280?mt=8

From the article that your statement was posted from:
Check for hardware issues
Try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good. Also, confirm your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers. If you still see the alert when you update or restore, contact Apple support.
Common errors: 1, 10-47, 1002, 1011, 1012, 1014, 1000-1020.

I have the same problem as the emails go to my iCloud account that I cannot access!!! I cannot answer the security questions as someone else must have set up my iCloud account. Nothing seems to work. It would be great if someone has some ideas as what can be done to recover the situation?
