Please Help. I really need it

I have an iphone 4 i recieved as a gift from my uncle. I updated it to the new ios 7. But after that a few days later I had to reset it so I could free up my memory. I've never had a sim card for it because I just use it as an ipod basically. Well now it won't even let me into my iphone/ All it says is please insert sim. Is there a way around this? Because I don't want to get the phone activated, I just want to continue to use it for music and things like that. Please help me

You need a sim card to activate the phone.
If its locked to a carrier you'll need a sim card from that carrier.
You don't need to have phone service on the sim card you use, it just has to be in the phone.
If you can borrow one from someone for the activation, you can remove it afterwards and all should work normally.
Getting a sim card should not be too difficult.

    Recently my battery ran out on my 3gs and the screen went yellow! i kept it charged in but the screen remained black. When I plugged it into my computer it said iPhone is in recovery mode? so I clicked on the restore button, it downloaded iOS4.3.5 and when it was installing it just stops at 'Preparing iPhone for Restore' and it just sits there for a long time (My iPhone screen remained black this whole time). Then after about 5 minutes a dialogue will pop up saying 'The iPhone "iPhone" could not be restored. An Unkown error occured (1601) please help! My warranty ran out on my 3GS!I completely uninstalled iTunes and Mobile Device Support and it still won't work! My iPhone won't even come on when it's trying to update!
    but you guys don't understand. My iPhone won't even light up, I dont even get a white screen anymore. All I can hear is that it's turning on and off while it's plugged in usb. My screen is black! No matter what i do it wont even light up. When i try to update and restore the screen remains black guys please please help!
    ALSO:
    The last site that i had that my phone was on is when i was trying to restore it. A yellow screen popped up and then it slowly faded to black. At first it was just a yellow screen then it was fading to black with black verticle lines that slowly took over the whole screen making the screen black.

  • When I try to open up a PDF document, i get the following error message: "There was an error opening this document. The network path was not found" AArrgh please help as I need to open up my documents. Thanks.

    When I open up a PDF Document all i get is an error message saying: "There was an error opening this document. The network path was not found" I dont know how to fix this, so looking for some advice please, as I really need o open up my documents.
    Thank for any help.

    The documents I’m trying to read are already saved on my computer, under various different headings, I know that we have a server, so I only assume these documents are saved on here, as I said before I’m not good with all this techno stuff. I do my work each week ( on a payroll system) and save the documents for each company, they automatically go to the correct place. I never request for them to be saved in a certain place ( well not that I’m aware of) . I then on occasions need to open up this information, it is then that I can’t read or open the documents. We do have a tech help, but they are off sick until the 5th Jan, hence me trying to work out if I can fix this problem through this help site. Its ADOBE Reader that I’m trying to use.

    AppleWorks is a very old application and requires Rosetta to run under recent systems.
    Lion does not include Rosetta.

  • Please Help! I need to delet "Fellow member" on Sk...

    Please Help!
    I need to delete a "Fellow member" on the Skype manager. I don't know what is "Skype manager" and why the user Greiman Gomez Garcia (scanman113)  is registered there, I DON'T KNOW HIM.
    I already have seen the screens on the FQA, but I never can get to those.
    I'm logging on web.
    Thank you very much for your answer.

    Hi, moremay, and welcome to the Community,
    Your report reads as if your account may have been compromised.  Can you still sign in to your account dashboard?  If yes, check that the account's registered e-mail address is accurate and valid.  Then, change your account's password - I prefer to do this from within the Skype software itself.  After this, you can contact Skype Customer Service to close the "Skype Manager" set-up.
    If you can not access your account, create a new account to use in order to contact Skype Customer Service and to recover your first account, as well as to disengage the "Skype Manager" which account hackers tend to use when they hack accounts.
    Here is a link to the instruction on how to contact Skype Customer Service via their secure portal: Contact Customer Service
    Skype is aware of lingering problems with the website when contacting their customer service agents. If you experience difficulty reaching Skype Customer Service or find yourself redirected back to the Community, please try again using a different web browser and choosing a different path through the various drop-down menu options presented. Also, look to approve a pop-up dialogue box which would connect you to start an instant message chat with a customer service agent. If you have pop-ups blocked in your browser settings, this will also block reaching an agent.

    Yep, that's the only message that popped out. Nothing else. Yes, it's running on the latest ios and I still can't restore it. I called apple and they told me it's probably something wrong with their servers. Anyway thanks for the advice.
