I've been trying to update my apps but it keeps asking for my billing info so i retype everything and it keeps saying my security code is invalid when i know its not. It is same card they had on file before and the same security code but now it wont take it and i cant update anything. HELP!
If you're positive the information is correct, ask the issuing bank why the transaction is being rejected.
You're getting this error because the store can not authorize the card with your bank. -

A while back I had an upgrade available to me. I had Lion when I bought this Pro. The upgrade is Maverick. After downloading and installing the upgrade, my computer started freezing while doing anything. I might not get this completely written before it freezes. The keyboard is getting hot, and I have to use the power button to turn it off. After it has sat for at least 10 minutes, I can turn it back on. I might be able to do some work for 5 minutes, or up to 30 minutes before it freezes again. Some of my programs are not working, either.
I would appreciate any suggestions anyone might have, or even go back to Lion, if I can figure out how to.
Thanks.Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test. -
My phone keeps saying " Is disabled" and i have changed my password ...

Ive even tried creating a new id and putting all my info in and i still can not update anytime or download anything. I want to know what the heck is going on!?!?!?! answers or ideas to fix this please.
<Email Edited By Host>Storage using iCloud, & available storage on your phone, are two separate things, & have nothing to do with each other.
You can't increase the storage on your phone. To see what's taking up space on your phone, look here: Settings>General>Usage. -
Just updated my iphone 4s and now my phone says sim failure
I just updated my iphone 4s to ios 6.1.3 and then a message came up saying 'sim failure' and it said 'invalid sim' where my carrier name should have been at the top. I turned it off and on again to try to fix this but now it just says searching where my carriers name should be.Now it wont let me send texts or phone anyone because it says my number is unknown.
Does anyone know how to fix this without having to get a new sim card?
ThanksRemove and re-insert the SIM.
If the problem continues, replace the SIM. -
My phone is saying SIM Failure after I did update last night.
Most likely you have Office 2004 which are PPC-only applications and will not work in Lion. Upgrade to Office 2011. Other alternatives are:
Apple's iWork suite (Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.)
Open Office (Office 2007-like suite compatible with OS X.)
NeoOffice (similar to Open Office.)
LibreOffice (a new direction for the Open Office suite.) -

My iphone 4, sim failure and no service
I just replaced new Iphone 4 last week in Apple store, Chadstone and after 3 days, it says sim failure and no service suddenly. I tried many times, switched off and on but still says no service. Do you have any ideas and solution please.
Hello, I have been having the same problem which seems to have occurred out of the blue. I pay my phone bill on time and as far as I know I haven't used up all available space. Sprint service can be problematic but this time the Sprinters were not responsible. To be honest I can't tell you why this occurs. I can tell you how to fix it :) just reset your phone (first reset the settings and if that doesn't work, restore the phone to factory settings). If this does not clear your problem you should talk to your service provider. I just reset my phone's settings but 30 minutes ago, and BAM all's well again. :) lets hope it lasts ;) good luck.

When I use find file http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30073/find-file (which does tend to find files that "Finder" can't), it's not coming up with any other itunes library files that have been modified in the past week, which I know it would have been - unfortunately, I don't have a very recent backup of the hard drive. It would be a few months old so it wouldn't have the complete library on it....any ideas? I'm wondering if restarting the computer might help but have been afraid to do so in case it would make it harder to recover anything...I was looking at this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4211589?start=0&tstart=0 in the hopes that it might have a helpful suggestion but it's definitely a different scenario.

My iPhone just said "SIM failure" and now says Invalid SIM in the upper corner. What's this all about? Any ideas on how to resolve this.
Looks like the Sim card had a catastrophic failure. Burnout, short somethng like that.
You can try to take out the tray and reseat the sim card inside and see if that gets it back.
Also try resetting the phone at least once by holding down the home and power buttons until the Apple Logo shows up.
If none of this works you'll have to contact your cell carrier to get a new sim card, as it probably fried and is no longer functional. -
iphone 4 has no service after replacing screen and updating, phone company says sim is fine. any ideas? thanks
We had this happen with a ipad mini, took it back to person who worked on it, after a week with trying to get it working again, he replaced it. I will agree with the other replies take it back to repair place there must be something inside the phone that if you don't do repair excalty right it messes up all phone functions. Also I would give the repair person a time frame to either get it working or replace it.
