  • After restoring iPhone 4, iTunes is telling me that my SIM card is not supported. It is the same SIM I have always used with this phone.

    After restoring iPhone 4, iTunes is telling me that my SIM card is not supported. It is the same SIM I have always used with this phone. What action can I take to convince phone that the SIM card is OK?

    Hello again, update time.
    Finally got to speak to a senior technical advisor at Apple today who was most confused until he back-tracked and double checked all the basics. He then realised that the actual serial number of my original phone (from the proof of purchase I sent him) was different to the one that they had recorded when they made the swap. I think he said it was out by one character and was actually showing as a mobile connected to AT&T (from the States). He said that the replacement phone was then set-up as per the serial number they had typoed into their system as locked to AT&T. The genius who did the swap at Apple Doncaster must have placed an unlock on it at the time in order for my 3 SIM to work at all. Therefore when I restored it, it returned to the settings of the incorrect original phone serial number!
    So... Apple tech advisor said he can rectify the records and re-set the factory setting to an Australian iPhone on the 3 network within 12-24 hours. Fingers crossed all is good by tomorrow afternoon.
    Thanks for your suggestions though, I had been trying everything to get it to work as I'm sure you know how hard they are to live without once you've got used to living with one!
    Cheers, Tom.

    Hi were you able to resolve yours?
    I was very worried losing all my medical stuff on my iPad Air 2, plus i have nothing to use for the next day! So i have to try all the possible things i read on the internet!! And this worked on my part (Thank God, and thank you Google)
    Perform a hard reboot
    Hold down the Home button and Power button on your iPhone or iPad and keep holding them until you see the Apple logo. Once you do, you can let go. When your device boots back up, go ahead and check to see if the apps have started re-downloading. If they still appear to be stuck, continue on.

  • Do all the settings (bookmarks, browsing history etc...) remain on the computer used with "Sync" after signing off?

    Do all the settings (bookmarks, browsing history etc...) remain on the computer used with "Sync" after signing off from your "Sync" account?
    == This happened ==
    Not sure how often

    How is that related to the Firefox Sync extension and service?
    What type of file is that?
    Where are you getting that file from?

  • Iphone 4 will not sync after restore

    Iphone 4 will not sync via itunes via USB cable after restore.  Rebooted PC and iphone.  Latest version of itunes and iOS.  Device appears on left hand window, but the main window only shows the Apple logo, and empty white box, and a small LOCK symbol.  Other iphone and ipad still sync properly, but restored iphone will not.  Please help.

    I had the EXACT same thing and I have appeared to fix it thanks to Amand99:
    1) Make Sure you are running latest Itunes.
    2) Plug usb cord into computer with itunes on. DO NOT PLUG INTO PHONE.
    3) Do a hard shut down of your phone, where you hold the home and lock button and don't let go until the phone completely dies.
    4) Hold down home button for three seconds. DO NOT LET GO. While continuing to hold, plug chord into phone, connecting it to computer.  DO NOT LET GO. Hold for an additional five seconds.
    5) A window should appear in itunes saying that a phone is connected which needs a system restore. 
    6) Itunes should allow you to restore and update. 
    7) Now this was key for me because this might have been my mistake which originally caused this issue.  After the restore, Itunes shows the iPhone grey with a spinning wheel (like bofore).  I looked at the iPhone and it looked like it wanted me to go through the setup options. DON'T TOUCH THE PHONE.  Be Patient, iTunes will eventually recognize the phone and finally ask if you want to restore it.  Choose "restore from backup", and let iTunes do it's stuff.
    My iPhone is back, Baby!  <phew>

  • Can't send and receive SMS/MMS/iMessages after restoring iPhone from a backup

    I can't receive and send any type of messages with my iPhone 3GS (iOS 6.1.6) after restoring it from my old backup (also 6.1.6).
    Messages that I'm sending are disappearing immediately after the moment they are sent and they are never delivered. The first time I restored my iPhone I could send and receive messages for 1 day, and I couldn't do it on the next day. This time I was able to send and receive messages for 10 minutes.
    I have used the methods Apple recommends for problems like this, but it doesn't help.

    Hello StepanyanMuradyan,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    To troubleshoot issues with not being able to send or receive messages on your iPhone, I'd like you to please follow the troubleshooting outlined below.
    To resolve issues with sending and receiving iMessages, follow these steps
    Check iMessage system status for current service issues.
    Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive and make sure that you registered iMessage with your phone number or Apple ID and that you selected iMessage for use. If the phone number or Apple ID isn't available for use, troubleshoot iMessage registration.
    Open Safari and navigate to www.apple.com to verify data connectivity. If a data connection isn't available, troubleshoot cellular data or a Wi-Fi connection.
    iMessage over cellular data might not be available while you're on a call. Only 3G and faster GSM networks support simultaneous data and voice calls. Learn which network your phone supports. If your network doesn't support simultaneous data and voice calls, go to Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi on to use iMessage while you're on a call.
    Restart your device.
    Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings on your iPhone.
    If you still can't send or receive an iMessage, follow these steps
    Make sure that the contact trying to message you isn't blocked in Settings > Messages > Blocked.
    Make sure that the contact you're trying to send a message to is registered with iMessage.
    If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, back up or forward important messages and delete your current messaging threads with the contact. Create a new message to the contact and try again.
    If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, delete and recreate the contact in the Contacts app. Create a new message to the newly created contact and try again.
    Back up and restore your device as new.

    Take care,

  • Retrieving paid applications after restoring iphone

    hi
    while updating my iphone to to the latest software, it encounter an error & i had to restore the phone. had installed some applications & purchased a game but all wiped out after restoring... how do i get the paid game application (cooking mama) loaded to my phone... i hope i dont have to pay for it again cos i've not even had the chance to play with it. my iphone is just 2 days old & i cant understand why error occurs while updating to latest software version. some one pls help.
    thanks

    Once you purchase an App it's yours, you can re-download it as many times as you like w/o being charged. To prevent this in the future you should transfer purchases from your phone to iTunes so there's a backup for you.

  • Problem with syncing after installing Leopard 10.5.8

    I have a PowerBook G4. I just installed Leopard 10.5.8. Ran all the available updates and so far there are a few bugs that I can't fix. I need some help please.
    1. When syncing to mobileMe, the computer gets caught in a loop and the round arrows at the top right of the screen never stops spinning. Also, when you bring the pointer to the top of the page, it seems frozen and the wheel starts. The time has also frozen.
    2. When syncing to iTunes with my iPhone, it also gets stuck in that sync loop.
    I'm assuming that there is something going on with MobileMe or with syncing. I can't find anything on this. Can anyone shed some light.

    Hi Eric,
    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    See if the Disk is issuing any S.M.A.R.T errors in Disk Utility...
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH7029
    Open Activity Monitor in Applications>Utilities, select All Processes & sort on CPU%, any indications there?
    How much RAM & free space do you have also, click on the Memory & Disk Usage Tabs.
    Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.
    One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for action in Safe Mode...
    Reboot, test again.
    If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed. Also look in System Preferences' Other row.
    Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

  • Problems with sync itunes to iphone

    Hi,
    I've been working on this for the last 3 hours: the goal is to copy my existing music library from my itunes to my new 4G iphone-32gb.
    I also got a new laptop & have been trying to copy my music library from my old desktop to my new laptop since they are not networked, I copied my files using an external drive. I was able to do it! I can see all my songs in my laptop.
    Now the problem is trying to sync my music (17gb of songs/files) to my iphone. I am only able to upload 59 songs. When I try to do it 'manually', it only duplicates the same songs. I am not able to drag & copy the all the songs to the iphone folder. Some playlist made it to the iphone, some did not, and the music library folder containing all the songs did not make the cut. It's driving me crazy!
    Can someone please help me?? Thanks a bunch if you can.

    I have been having a similar problem. I recently transferred all my data from old to new laptop and am trying to sync my various devices. My ipod nano was no problem, although it essentially deleted everything and then restored the new settings from my new laptop. however, when attemping to sync up my iPhone 4 I have been experiencing a lot of technical difficulty. My old iphone (which my son uses as an ipod touch) will not allow me to sync apps anymore. When managing the sync options I cannot even click the box to allow for sync apps. My new iphone 4 froze several times during initial sync to the new computer forcing itunes to close. Then when it finally does sync it takes about 30 minutes and a microsoft exchange server box keeps popping up stating that my account is not on file. Please help!

  • Waiting for Activation message appears after restoring iPhone.

    Hello!
    I recently restored my iPhone and now it will not connect to any network towers. It keeps saying that I have no service when I usually always do. And it only allows me to connect to wifi. Any suggestions on what to do?

        Jenger, thank you so much for trying that out for us. This does seem a little odd to me. I would love to make sure we get you up and running with no issues. Do you have the most current iTunes downloaded on the computer? What I would try to do is try to place the phone into recovery mode through iTunes. The way you can complete this is by powering the phone off all the way. Have the USB plugged into the computer. Plug the device into the USB charger while you are pressing and holding the home button. Keep that home button held down until it pops up on iTunes that "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes". then you will press on Ok, and then Tap on Restore iPhone, then select "Restore and Update" Please keep us posted.

  • Problems with updating and restoring iphone 4s

    So yesterday my iphone 4s said there was an update available so I started to update it, but cancelled the update by holding the home and lock button because I wanted to update it later instead.
    It then told me to connect to itunes and restore it so I did that.
    After and during restoring the connect to itunes screen stayed there and when I connected it to itunes again after restoring it, it told me it was in recovery mode still and needed to be restored.
    I just restored it again hoping it would work this time but the connect to itunes button was still there,
    What do I do now? All my phone will show it connect to itunes

    Connect to iTunes.  You should probably try to enter recovery mode as described here.  You may have to try this more than once to succeed.  Let iTunes do the update.

  • My iphone 4 no longer syncs with itunes after restoring it from a backup (it was fine before)?? Can anyone help?

    Hi, just to clarify - I have iOS 7.1.2 on my IPhone (as thats the latest it will support)... My iMac has iTunes 11.4. This combination of device and software has been working fine until a few weeks ago when I had to restore my Computer and Phone from a recent backup. I'm not sure if it was just coincidence, but the next time I plugged my iPhone in to sync the "sync" button on the lower right of the screen has refused to be "clickable" and now, no matter what I try, I cannot find a way of syncing my iPhone It's been four weeks now and I'm worried about the new contacts etc getting lost should anything happen. Please can someone guide me through some options? Thanks.

    This helped meRe: "iPhone disconnected" error in iTunes 
    Feb 14, 2008 2:09 AM (in response to GregM)
    One thing that could cause this error message is corrupted data on the iphone or computer. Close itunes and disconnect the iphone.
    Now open isync in the applications folder.
    Once isync is open, open the isync preferences.
    Click the button to reset sync history.
    Once sync history is reset, quit isync and open itunes.
    Open the itunes preferences and go to the syncing tab.
    Check the box to disable automatic syncing for all ipods and iphones.
    Connect the iphone and go to the info tab.
    Go to the bottom of the info tab and check the box to replace all contact data on the iphone with what is in the computer.
    Now click apply on the bottom right corner of itunes. If this does not work, open address book and create a new group.
    Add 5 - 10 contacts to that group.
    Now go into itunes with the iphone connected and set the iphone to only sync to that particular group.
    if the iphone syncs ok, add some more contacts and sync again.
    If the iphone does not sync, remove some of the contacts and sync again.
    Keep going through this process until you narrow down which contacts are causing the problem. Hope this helps.
