SIM has to be activated every time iPhone restarted

I was given a replacement o2 SIM and had my account transfered. When I inserted it in my iPhone 3Gs I had to activate with iTunes to make it work which it does OK.
However now every time I restart the phone I get the plug picture and a message saying a new SIM has been detected - connect to iTunes. Each time I connect it then works OK.
How can I make the phone activate the replacement SIM permanently? When my broadband went down last week the entire phone was made useless after I had switched it off.

The phone required a hardware restore to enable it to switch on without iTunes. It is now OK.

  • Ensure that the firewall rules are activated every time you restart

    I'm trying to set up a server and the Getting Started guide recommends doing this but it doesn't have Arch-specific instructions. How do I go about doing this?
    The Debian/Ubuntu way which seems simple to me is :
    sudo nano /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/firewall
    and then copy this into the file :
    #!/bin/sh
    /sbin/iptables-restore < /etc/iptables.firewall.rules
    And then making it executable for the current user/group.
    Will this work on Arch? I'm just trying to be cautious.
    What's the Arch way for re-instating rules upon a complete reboot of the system?

    Well, there's iptables-save and there's
    $ cat /usr/lib/systemd/system/iptables.service [~]
    [Unit]
    Description=Packet Filtering Framework
    [Service]
    Type=oneshot
    ExecStart=/usr/bin/iptables-restore /etc/iptables/iptables.rules
    ExecReload=/usr/bin/iptables-restore /etc/iptables/iptables.rules
    ExecStop=/usr/lib/systemd/scripts/iptables-flush
    RemainAfterExit=yes

    Dude or hot-spur,
    Not fishy at all!!!! You really think I would have taken any more of my time to post a bogus rant? We'll no, it is unfortunately all true. I want to hear from anyone who is experiencing such problems not anyone else that wants to put there two cents in. I really don't need anymore hate or negativity. Just people's experiences because I feel like I am the only one having so many problems. Thank you
    Yes, I have had some unfortunate bad luck to have so many problems at the same time, but some of them are just things you cannot do on the new OS.
    Thank you again

  • N8 music player has to refresh library every time ...

    N8 music player has to refresh library every time after switching on the phone. why?

    How do you try to start the repair dialogue? By starting Aperture or by opening the Library?
    If you not already have tried it with directly opening the library: 
    reveal your Aperture Library in the Finder
    Whilst holding down Command(⌘)- option (⌥) double click on the Aperture Library.
    Select "repair library" from the dialogue.
    What about Frank Caggiano's questions above?
    It would be really helpful to know, how many libraries you have, and if this problem is restricted to one of them.

    Hi Shawn and Jason,
    I have the same problem. One workaround is to clean your disk before running LiveCycledesigner. After you have cleaned up your disk LiveCycleDesigner will start a few times and you can work with it.
    It is an Vista problem. LiveCycleDesigner 8.1 which is just released had fixed the problem so you can also download 8.1

  • Every time iPhone updates voice dial is reactivated! 

    Every time iPhone updates voice dial is reactivated! 
    This is annoying because I use an artone neck loop and it's easy to catch the button on my neck causing me to phone any random person.  Sometimes I forget to turn it off after the IOS update.
    Apple please fix this!!! 

    The behavior on the App Store (I assume that's what you mean) update page is by design. That display in descending chronological order and are clearly marked as to,whether or not they have been updated.

  • ITunes Library.itl gets corrupted every time I restart my CISCO VPN enabled laptop.

    Hi,
    iTunes Library.itl file gets corrupted everytime I restart my laptop.
    I am using Lenovo T410 with Windows 7.
    This is causing alot of problems as all my iPhone songs and apps get deleted after every sync.
    Please help.

    I have the same problem.
    I have removed and re-installed iTunes. The music files are still intact but the library gets erased every time I restart the PC.
    This means I have re-scan all my music files over and over again.
    Also, an inspection of the iTunes directory reveals lots and lots of temp (iT*.tmp) files, all of them are about the same size as the iTunes library database (10mb in my case) so it looks like iTunes is not closing down correctly / writing the temp file back to the iTunes library (iTunes Library.itl)file.
    Can anybody help?

  • Cover Flow cache is gone every time I restart iTunes.

    The title pretty much says it all. Ever since I began running iTunes on my new MacBook Pro (Spring 2009, 3.06 Ghz with 4GB of RAM) I was pretty disappointed with how slowly Cover Flow worked. I had been using iTunes on a PC for a while, but I figured that on brand new top-of-the-line Apple hardware, iTunes and Cover Flow would fly.
    The problem is, every time I restart iTunes, it appears that any Cover Flow image cache is gone. It seems like it has to re-lookup and re-load every image in my library as I scroll. It is usually smart enough to predict where a long scroll if going to end and pre-load the images at my destination, but every cover that I "flow" over during the scroll appears as just the default musical note symbol. Plus, moving around is choppy as it loads every image. I have to manually scroll through the whole library in order to force it to load every single cover and therefore respond smoothly as I scroll through. This keeps working until I restart the app, and then I'm back to square one.
    Why is this happening?

    Thank you to all that gave advice, none of the suggestions worked I'm afraid........ but I did find a solution to the problem, by accident......... Doing a normal sync still does not work...... So what I have done is, limited each file to just 1000 photos, and have ended up with 32 files now........... I have ticked the boxes     "Sync photo's from, selected files" and I sync with the first file ticked, then sync again with the second ticked, and so on, I know its long winded but they are now all on my ipod

  • Do you get the Installation indicator every time you Restart or Start Up your computer?

    Do you get the Installation indicator every time you Restart or Start Up your computer? On all my computers upgraded to 10.10, I get the Installation "thermometer" indicator every time I Restart or Start Up my computers. In Verbose mode, I see a bash command that is looking for the Installation image to finish its clean up. Does anyone else have this problem? Is the Installation indicator the new "normal" start up and restart screen for 10.10?

    If you are referring to the progress indicator that appears every startup, that is normal. It has replaced the old spinning gear. There's nothing wrong.

  • Every time I restart my PC and launch the Firefox it asks to install add-ons I installed earlier.

    Hi,
    Every time I restart/shut down my PC and start the Firefox it asks me to install add-ons I had before restart/shut down.

    Hi,
    You should look at the article [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved Preferences not saved]. These should give you all the information you need!
    If that doesn't work:
    # Type about:config in the address bar
    # Click ''I'll be careful, I promise'' if prompted
    # In the Filter input field type ''startup''
    # Double click on startup.homepage_override_url
    # Delete the text string and click ''OK''
    # Close Firefox and reopen the window to verify that it has worked.
    Hopefully this helps!

  • Why is it that every time I restart Firefox it deletes my quick links that are located right under the address bar?

    This is a recent problem and it has happened 4 consecutive times now. Every time I restart Firefox it has removed my quick links to the websites I visit most often. I didn't have a problem like this for over a year, and then it seemed to start right after some recent Firefox updates.
