"No sim installed" error after updating to iOS 5.1

A notification popped up this morning asking me to update to iOS 5.1 so I updated it. Once I downloaded and installed it, it said "no sim installed". I have rebooted my phone, taken out and put back in the sim but the error message remains. I can't make calls or message, but my internet works. Anything else I can try?

i have the same problem with the 4s.  I have a (cutdown) sim from virgin (in the UK), who do not offer the iphone, but it worked perfectly until this upgrade (to ios 5.1).  The phone was bought unlocked from apple.  now i have the no sim error.  I am trying a restore and have booked a genius bar appt for later today.  I have a very expensive touch at present.  The sim is working fine in my old nokia, so it is not the sim that is faulty.  What is going on here, why would i want to upgrade if this just creates problems.  I have been up since 5am now trying to sort this so i have a phone again.

  • Sim not valid after update to IOS 8.1.1

    Hello,
    I have an iPhone 5 and I have update it yesterday from iOS 6 to iOS 8.1.1 and after update I can`t activate it.
    My iPhone has been purchased from SFR France and has been sim locked by SFR.
    I have official unlock it last month and it worked well on Orange Romania until yesterday.
    On all servers it look like unlocked but I can`t activate it.
    iTunes say that sim card is not compatible.
    Now It have iOS 8.1.
    Please help me.

    I haven't contacted SFR directly, I have used a service like "apple official unlock. com/ apple-official-imei-iphone-unlock" to do that and I verified the simlock status on other site like this. I think that site contacted SFR for unlock.
    The iPhone has been unlocked after I connected it to iTunes and I think that is official unlocked.

  • A simple fix to the "No Content" error after updating to iOS 4.2.1.

    I had the same problem that others are reporting after updating an iPhone to iOS 4.2.1 where all of my media disappeared. However I don't currently have access to my PC to sync with iTunes but have posted a really simple fix that worked for me here:
    http://vextasy.wordpress.com/2010/11/30/a-very-simple-solution-to-the-iphoneipod -4-2-1-update-no-content-problem/
    The advantage of this fix is that it doesn't need you to use iTunes which was important for me as I am currently away from my PC. I fixed my iPhone this way and I suspect the same would work on an iPod Touch or iPad.

    You can only sync to one iTunes library but you can manage music and videos among different computer/libraries.
    It appears that you are trying to sync with a different library.
    - If you want to make the Mac you syncing computer:
    --- Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by:
    iOS: How to back up
    --- Restore the iPod from that backup. Note that synced media like apps and music are not in included in the backup.

  • Can't install apps after updating to iOS 8.2

    After installing iOS 8.2 I'm unable to install new apps. When I click "Get" next to the chosen app and then "Install", after 2-3 secs the button is reset back to "Get". This happens every time I try to install any app.
    It's possible the apps are not updating as well since no update popped up since OS update. It looks like this release has broken something within the Store.
    Anyone can offer any solution / workaround for that?

    At this time the iTunes Store is down:

  • Why do I keep getting the "accessory may not be supported" error after updating to ios 7?

    Ever since updating to the new ios, my iphone 4 is rejecting every single charger I try to use.  All of these chargers are first party apple chargers, and they are all in good shape.  Withing seconds of plugging my phone in I get the "this accessory may not be supported" error.  Has anyone else had this problem or know how I can fix this?  Thank you.

    I get the same problem, but my phone still charges, is yours charging after you notice this message?

    Its an IMEI issue.  In my case, about a year ago, after originally purchasing my iP4 from AT&T store, I had a prox. sensor issue.  Went to the Apple Store, they replaced the phone.  Here is where it all stems from.  The IMEI of the new phone was never updated in AT&T/Carriers systems.  For iOS updates prior to iOS5, this was not an issue.  My phone did its iOS updates along the way with no probs.  However, when I updated to iOS5, the firmware did not match the IMEI with what AT&T/carrier had.  When I went to Apple Store for the issue about 3 days ago and was given a new phone....again....the new phones IMEI was never updated with AT&T/carrier.  I then again attempted the upgrade to iOS5 with the new phone and iOS5 bricked that one also.  Today, at the store, we tried 3 replacements with same outcome.
    So, after 4 hours and 3 replacement phones with Apple Store Tech (BTW totally gobsmacked), we solved the issue.  Luckily, due to iPhone 4S launch, there was an AT&T guy there with a computer tied to the AT&T network to work along with us.  The issue is......once the IMEI's on carrier account and phone do not match, iOS5 shuts down the sim card reader within phone.....forever. How to reverse this?......this is a question Apple needs to come up with, because with my case, they have 5 "bricked" phones. 
    What solved the issue was to get a new phone with iOS4.3.5, new SIM from carrier/AT&T, have carrier/AT&T (in their system) change/match the IMEI to the new phone and activate new SIM.  Then, do iOS5 upgrade. 
    Simple and makes total sense..........however........there is an internal firmware (Apple Security??) issue that bricks the phone once IMEI's dont match. 
    I am now on iOS5.....no problems......so far.  Good luck to all others.

    It is not practicale to do this always any one faces the same problem

    There may be a problem with the SIM card. Get a new SIM card from your carrier - there should be no charge for a replacement.
    If no change with a new SIM card, the standard troubleshooting steps in order are:
    Power your iPhone off and on.
    An iPhone reset, which is done by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release.
    Restore your iPhone with iTunes from your iPhone's backup.
    Restore your iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup.
    If no change after any of these steps in order, your iPhone has a hardware problem.

  • HT4623 after updating to iOS 6.0.1 my iphone 3s won't recognize my SIM card. i updated my phone through iTunes, what happened to my phone?

    after updating to iOS 6.0.1 my iphone 3s won't recognize my SIM card. i updated my phone through iTunes, what happened to my phone?

    If it now says "invalid" or "unsupported" SIM, your iPhone was almost certainly hacked to unlock it from the original cell carrier and updating has now removed that hack and the iPhone has relocked back to that original carrier. You will have to contact that carrier and ask if it would be possible to get your iPhone officially unlocked.
    Regards.

  • Please help me tp update my iPhone 5, because after updating to ios 7 I can no longer update and restore my phone? it always error

    please help me to update and restore my iphone 5? beacause after updating to iOS 7, i can no longer updater and restore my phone. it always comes in error

    I'm having the identical problem on my iPhone 4 after upgrading to IOS 7--no ability to update apps or download new apps.  Here is what Apple tech support emailed to me:
    I understand that you are unable to download or update applications after updating iOS7 on your iTunes. I know you must be eager to get this resolved and I will be happy to help you today.
    ... to help you better with this issue I would request you to please try this steps given below to resolve your issue.
    Please follow this steps:
    1) Double tap the home button
    2) Hold down on an icon
    3) Tap the red "X" on iTunes, and the App Store.
    4) Tap Settings > Store > Tap your Apple ID, and choose sign out
    5) Tap Settings
    6) Tap General
    7) Tap Reset
    8) Tap Network Settings
    Once it has been closed with multi-tasking, and you have rebooted the device in the network settings reset, please sign in, and try again. 
      Howevr, if you are facing the same issue than for this issue, you may need to call our AppleCare technical support team. A technical Advisor will be able to tell you about Apple's complimentary and fee-based support. The technical Advisor can also assist you in determining what option might be most helpful to you in this case.
    Mildly amusing that the instructions for force-closing a program are the IOS 6 instructions, which do not work on IOS 7. 
    Otherwise I'm having a little success with this.  Some apps (not all) are updating. It seems that a few more apps update each time I go through the process (close everything, sign out, and either reset or reboot, then go to the app store, sign in and try to update all).  So far it has been a very lengthy, iterative process.

    Your iPhone was "unofficially" unlocked by some means to work with a different carrier. Now that you have updated it has relocked to the original carrier. If you do not know who the original carrier was you will need to call AppleCare and give them the model and serial number of your iPhone. Then you will need to contact that carrier to see if they have a process to unlock the phone and if you qualify.
