My iphone 5 has no sim card because i wanna use it as a tablet. i start it up and im stuck in setting the language, country , and then wifi. i select wifi which it connects perfect. then it trys to activate through wifi doesnt work and says contact apple.com/support. also says try to connect through itunes. i made a account and i plug in my iphone 5 to my windows 7 pc. computer doesnt detect it when i have it in itunes mode. my iphone 5 shows connect to itunes. what do i do?
You can not activate it without a SIM. If it is carrier locked, the SIM must be from the carrier it is locked to.
The SIM does not have to be tied to an active line of service, but it MUST be present.

Umm I just got this iPhone 5 and cellular data is not working, can't access apps, heck can't even download any and Safari...ummm yeah not happening. I'm with Sprint if that makes any difference.
Are you in an area where there is no coverage?
You can try a reset, hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.
If that doesn't help, then yOu'll need to contact Sprint again. -
I own a 16GB iPhone 3G. My father passed it down to me a year ago after he got the iPhone 4. I pressed the sleep/wake button on the top of the iPhone to check the time, and as I did so, the screen flashed on and off and now the screen won't work. Whenever I put my simcard in there calls will go through but I am unable to hear them, but if I take it out calls don't go through. I've tried charging it for a while, connecting to my laptop, holding the sleep/wake button and the home button for 10seconds to restore it, but nothing works. I've looked around and no-one'ed seemed to have this problem. I'd like to know what is wrong with my iPhone ASAP. thanks.
First, update iTunes, then connect the phone to the computer and do a restore. This will also get your iOS up to date. Your phone should operate correctly after doing this, if not, you will most likely need to have the phone serviced or replaced.

I tried to restore my iPhone 4S and now it is not detected by iTunes
I recently got the 5s and was going to trade in my 4s to AT&T, so I decided to restore the phone before doing so. iOS 7 was downloaded by iTunes (I was still on 6) and installed on the phone before the restore process started. I walked away from my computer, so either in the process of updating or restoring, iTunes gave me an error message saying that my iPhone could not be restored for some reason (I don't remember the exact error message.) The phone was now in recovery mode (with the graphic of the USB plugging into iTunes) and could not be recognized by iTunes. I put the phone in DFU mode, but once again, the phone was still not recognized.
My computer recognizes that an apple device is being plugged and unplugged from the computer, but iTunes does not respond at all. Any tips?Hello, ctom69.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
There are a couple things I could recommend. Make sure iTunes has been updated to the most current version and attempt to restore the device. Next try manually placing the device in recovery mode via the steps in the first article below. If neither of the steps work, try all of the steps in the attached second article.

IPhone 5 and Bang & Olufsen earset 3i headset: mutes when I plug it in
Hi all
I've done a sweep of the discussion boards can find no similar issue:
As the title says, when I plug in my B&O earset 3i into a 64Gb iPhone 5, the volume goes to silent/mute.
Has anyone else had the same experience and is there a way for me to stop this from happening?
Thanks in advance
GraemeFor those of you who bump into this question in the future:
The workaround I ended up using is that before I play a track after the headphones are plugged in, I increase the volume. Mildly annoying but not a deal breaker.
Oh, and the mute occurs when I use the headphone remote not when I plug in teh headset, as my question implied. -

Iphoto will no longer open when attaching my Canon Eos Camera. I have checked the camera and everything is working perfecty. When I open it myself, Iphoto is working perfectly too. But now when I attach the camera, Iphoto no longer opens at all. Yesterday it did open after a really long wait but it kept saying that it did not recognize the "format" of the images....they were jpegs??? Then it flashed on and off and if I hit download at just the right second they would download. But today it won't work at all. Any suggestions.
thanksAs a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there? -

Anyonw know what to do?
Hello Maxayla,
It sounds like you are getting error code 1 when you were attempting a restore. I would use these troubleshooting steps from the following article which mentions that error code:
Resolve specific iTunes update and restore errors
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694#1
Check for hardware issues
Related errors: 1, 3, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 20, 21, 23, 26, 27, 28, 29, 34, 35, 36, 37, 40, 1000, 1002, 1004, 1011, 1012, 1014, 1667, or 1669.
Try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good. Also, confirm your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers. If you still see the error message when you update or restore, contact Apple support.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,

I have songs on my iPhone 6 that I can't remove and when I plug into iTunes and go to "Summary" and "On This Device" the songs don't show up but they are on my phone. How do I remove them? Not even sure how they got on actually since I have a iTouch and keep all my music there. HELP!!
Have you tried deleting the songs from Settings?
Settings -> General -> Usage -> Manage Storage (not the iCloud link!) -> Music and then click Edit to enable you to be able to delete. -
My iPhone 4 will not turn on, when I plug it into my computer and load up iTunes its in recovery mode and the only option is to restore my device to factory settings, I have no back up of my phone I've also tried the home/sleep button thing but nothing, I have literally done every method I was told, I checked for water damage and that's fine. I don't want to restore my phone or buy a new one or pay for repairs because that's wasting money when it could be a simple way to fix it. And yes, I've also tried charging it and turning it in. I really need some help with my phone
That does happen. It depends on how hard the server is being hit, as well as the connection speed of your system. If you are on a windows system, you will want to disable any antivirus or firewall software during the download.

Note on Recovery Mode.
You may need to try this More than Once...
Be sure to Follow ALL the Steps...
Once you have Recovered your Device...
