My phone was jailbroken but connected through Bell after I bought it. Recently (today) I upgraded to 4.3.4 and now have no date or phone - SIM card not recognized. Any ideas ?

Not really sure how this works, but here  goes.
I bought an IPhone on EBay over a year ago.
3GS.
I found out I had to have it jailbroken since it had already been connected to AT&T.
I did that and hooked up to Bell and it has beens working fine ever since.
Today, foolishly, after phoning the Apple Store and being told it was perfectly OK, I upgraded to 4.3.4
Now it does not recognize the SIM card.
Is there anyway to correct this?
My own stupidity.
Thanks
Ben

They don't need to Restore it, you have already done that. Why would you want Apple to Restore it again?
If you are wanting them to roll it back to a previous iOS version that could be jailbroken, no they will not do that.

  • I did a restore on iphone and now it wont pick up my sim card...any ideas??

    I purchased an unlocked 3gs iphone and tried to sync it with itunes to get updates on the software. i clicked on update but nothing happened so i clicked on restore and it basically wiped the whole phone clean and now it wont pick up my sim card and is saying my serial code is wrong?

    Hi thanks for responding to my message!
    Basically,when i 1st put the iphone on,it says no service on the top bar and at the bottom it says configure,so i go through the procedure, then i get a message saying `" your iphone could not be activated because the activation server is tempererally unavailable.Try connecting your iphone to itunes to activate it or try again in a couple of minutes. If this problem persists,contact apple support."

  • I upgraded my iMac to Yosemite and now I can't print on my Kodak ESP 5250, any ideas?

    I downloaded Yosemite to my iMac and I can no longer print to my Kodak ESP 5250. I didn't upgrade my MacBook Air and it still prints fine. Will there be any drivers to fix this problem or can I downgrade back to Mavericks until I get a new printer?

    Kodak has posted an unsupported hack that has been reported to enable printing to a Kodak printer not supported in OS X 10.10 ("Yosemite").
    I have not tested the hack myself and I don't know all the possible effects. As far as I know it will not break the compatibility of printing software that is already compatible with Yosemite. It may degrade the security of the web administration interface of CUPS. That interface is not enabled by default, and will not be enabled by the procedure described here. Even if it were enabled, I know of no way it could be exploited, with or without the modification. Nevertheless, if you have enabled the web administration interface, you should disable it if you decide to follow these instructions. If you don't know what the web administration interface is, you haven't enabled it.

  • I upgrades my iPAD  3 to iOS6 and now I can't open my Safari RSS bookmarks.  Any ideas to help?

    I upgrades my iPAD  3 to iOS6 and now I can't open my Safari RSS bookmarks.  Any ideas to help?

    I've installed 3 different RSS readers and none of them "grab" the default flag for RSS feeds.
    I've also uninstalled the Podcasts.app, then re-installed a couple of the readers and Safari still has no idea what to do with them.
    What's most annoying is that Safari declares it doesn't know what to do with a feed and offers to load the iTunes Store so I can pick an RSS Reader to install, and then the iTunes app declares it can't connect to the store (even when I'm already on the store or downloading an application at the time).
    And yeah, I've tried the fixes for the cannot connect errors (Date/Time flip, reinstall bought app, setting DNS to Google even though it was already fine, and clearing Safari's cache just in case).
    This is absolutely pathetic.

    That message occurs when updating a phone that was hacked to be used with your network.  Upgrading the phone has re-locked it to it's rightful carrier.  You will need a SIM from the original carrier to proceed.

  • I am having problems with the Preview application.  When I try to use it to open a pdf document it gets hung-up and I have to select force quit to close it.   Any ideas on how to resolve this problem?  Thanks for any help

    I am having problems with the Preview application.  When I try to use it to open a pdf document it gets hung-up and I have to select force quit to close it.   Any ideas on how to resolve this problem?  Thanks for any help

    Can you open the Preview program without loading a file, like by itself?
    If it doesn't load then I suspect a corrupt Preview preference file.
    Deleting the System Preference or other .plist file
    Can you open other files with Preview, like jpg's and images?
    How about other PDFs? or is it just that one you have downloaded?

  • Recently purchased Mountain Lion and now 40% of my Big Fish games don't work, any ideas?

    Recently purchased Mountain Lion and now several of my Big Fish games don't work, any ideas?
    Mystery Case Files Return to Ravenhurst and MCF 13th Skull to name a couple
    I have contacted Big Fish games and tried all the suggestion still to no avail.....

    If you "recently purchased Mavericks" without upgraded your hardware (MBP), then your MBP is still capable of running whichever flavor of OS X that you previously were able to run these 40% of Big Fish games.
    In that case, partition your hard drive or add an external drive and install that flavor of OS X (Snow Leopard or Lion) there and "dual-boot" your MBP into the alternative OS X when you want to play those games using Startup Manager in the System Preferences before Restart.

  • I tried to update the software for my iPhone 4S. It froze, and now won't turn off, or on, or sync.  Any ideas on how to fix this?

    I tried to update the software for my iPhone 4S, 16 GB to the most recent version (8.1?).  I don't know what I was updating from, because I can't access that, but it was whatever was installed on it (I got it about a year ago, so probably 6.something). 
    It froze, and now won't turn off, or on, or sync with my macbook plus, which is what I have always sync'd it to.  (I backed it up and sync'd it right before I tried to update the software.)
    Since it originally froze almost 3 hours ago, it shows a white screen with the apple on it and a line underneath.  When I try to sync with my laptop, it says it needs me to enter a passcode on the phone, which I can't enter because the screen is frozen.  So I'm unable to access the iPhone portion of iTunes.
    I have tried to turn it off, with no luck.  I have tried rebooting my laptop and syncing, but I still get the same result.
    Does anyone know how to fix this?
    I really wanted to wait to update the software, but I was having internet connectivity issues for the past 3 weeks, and Sprint suggested updating the phone's software.
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    Hi NWL1,
    Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, the iPhone won't update and is stuck. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Have a great day,

  • I have upgraded to Firefox 5 and now the Customize toolbar option seems to be disabled. Any ideas how to fix this as I've now lost all my toolbar buttons?

    Since upgrading to Firefox 4.01 and now 5 the Cusomise Toolbar function does not appear when selected. No error message appears and there is no resonse whatsoever. I am running on an XP sp3 desktop. Firefox 5 seems to run fine on my Windows 7 laptop but the desktop just doesn't want to work.

    Many users have restored the functionality of Google toolbar by installing the '''''Add-on Compatibility Reporter''''' extension. Google needs to test the toolbar in Firefox 5 and change one line of their code to make it compatible with Firefox 5.

    The SIM card might not be resting properly in the tray which causes the issue. Remove pop out the SIM card, turn off the phone, make sure it's resting properly and firmly into the tray, pop it back in, and turn on your phone!

  • I connected my ipad to a mac computer to stream a video, and now it doesn't recognize my sim card! Help!

    I had a movie in my ipad and wanted to see it on the tv. So i connected it to a friend's mac. Automatically when i connected it, itunes (his itunes) asked my for the name of the ipad and other stuff i don't remember.  We were able to see the movie but when i disconected the ipad  it says "No sim" even if the sim card is where it always is. Now i don't have any internet! (i'm using an ipad 2)
    does anyone know what happened?

    Download iTunes for your computer, by going to http://apple.com/iTunes Then connect it to iTunes and see what happens. If nothing happens try doing hard reset, by pressing the home and wake/sleep button, ignore the red slider, and continue pressing until it turns off and turns back on.

  • TS1702 I just updated my Iphone 4S with iOS 6.0 and now have problems with my phone

    Hello,
    I just updated my phone.  I went to update an application and clicked on update all.  It didn't ask for my password and now all apps that are supposed to be updating say, "Waiting". 
    The other problem I'm having is that I cannot access my current emails.  Error Message says that it cannot find server or it cannot connect to server"
    How do I fix these issues?

    You could unplug your router than plug it back in.  You could turn the iPhone completely off and then back on.

  • I just updated my iphone 4 to iOS6 and now have to restore my phone?  Why

    I did the update to iOS 6 and now my phone says i have to restore to factory settings...Why?  Is there any way around this?

    It shouldn't be a problem. Restore, and then resynch everything back. You will have backed up photos and such.

  • HT4859 i recently got the iphone 4s. and also got a new HP laptop. I connected my iphone for the first time on my computer and now i can't access my music on my device, any ideas?

    I need help with my music. I got the Iphone 4s and plugged it in my new computer..I can see the list of my songs but as soon as i click to listen to it.. jumps into next song and I can't play any of them. I did my  back up to Icloud yesterday..but not sure how to restore from that back up..also would like to have all this songs transfered to my computer
    thank you

    Did you by chance have photo stream turned on? If so then they might be there. When you restored your phone it deleted everything and they will be unretreivable from your computer.

  • I can not rotate my iPad and I have checked the lock button on the side. Any ideas

    I can not rotate my iPad and I have checked the button on the side. Any ideas

    Double-tap the home button and then swipe it to the right.  Along with music and brightness controls, there will be a button with an arrow in a circle.  If there's a lock in the middle, tap it.
