  • Iphone 3 won't activate after updating to IOS 5.0.1

    I updated my itunes to the IOS 5 last night and now i cannot activate my phone. I get as far as activating the phone itself and after it tries to activate it tells me it cannot do it as 'the activation server is temporarily unavailable'. It also tells me to try to connect it to Itunes and when i do itunes tells i do not have a SIM inserted when i do. I was told by a man who worked in a phone shop that it the software may have crashed and caused it and i should send it away but that will cost 180euro. I am going into the apple shop 2mo to see if they can do anything but would like to know if anyone else has experienced this and if so what did they do?
    Please help! I need this for college and it has everything on it! If i lose all my stuff i'm in serious trouble!
    Thanks.

    I got mine sorted. Turns out because i got it unlocked the first time getting updates via itunes causes it to restart again. Had to get it unlocked at managed to get eveything back after restoring it from itunes. Very happy cause the guy in the apple shop told me i had to call apple and pay 35euro just to talk to them! I manged to get it unlocked for only 20 and its just like it was.
    hope you're able to get yours sorted

  • Iphone 4s won't charge after updated to ios 6.1.3

    iphone 4s won't charge after updated to ios 6.1.3
    Different adapters and usbs have been tried, and now power has been drained.
    Apple support says there is nothing they can do about it, and they surggested me to pay 199 for a new iphone.
    Is there anybody having the same problem?

    I'm having the same issue with iphone 4.
    Seems to work ok after i connect it to itunes but then the next day i have to do it again.

  • Iphone 3GS won't activate after update - asks for itunes, which just quits unexpectedly every time!

    I updated my iphone 3GS and now when I turn it on it just asks to be connected to itunes. Problem is when I do this, itunes unexpectedly quits every time. I've updated the laptop and it makes no difference, and I am left without a phone...really not impressed and can't wait for my upgrade to get rid of it.

    Try this:

    This put's an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch in recovery mode.  Should solve the problem if it is phone related.  If not, you may want to post in iTunes support as well.  I had a similar problem recently with an iPod touch and this fixed it.

  • IPhone 4 won't restore after updating to ios 5!!!

    After restoring iphone 4 with ios 5, itunes is stuck in "set up your iphone" mode asking me to restore from backup however whenever i do restore it goes back to the same screen asking me to do it again, all my contacts photos and other info syncs but no apps and cant use phone on itunes because it keeps telling me to restore from backup.. please help!!

    So  I went to the apple store today since I was having the same problems, they reset it back to factory settings.  Plugged in Iphone to laptop and the same two options came up: 1. set as new Iphone or 2. restore.    So I restored thinking it would then synch...nope.
    They told me if I didn't work to bring back my Iphone and laptop, it might be a problem with Itunes. 

  • "No SIM card installed in the iPhone you are attempting to activate" after updating to iOS 5. Living in Canada with Rogers service provider.

    Any solutions yet?
    "No SIM card installed in the iPhone you are attempting to activate" after updating to iOS 5.

    Its an IMEI issue.  In my case, about a year ago, after originally purchasing my iP4 from AT&T store, I had a prox. sensor issue.  Went to the Apple Store, they replaced the phone.  Here is where it all stems from.  The IMEI of the new phone was never updated in AT&T/Carriers systems.  For iOS updates prior to iOS5, this was not an issue.  My phone did its iOS updates along the way with no probs.  However, when I updated to iOS5, the firmware did not match the IMEI with what AT&T/carrier had.  When I went to Apple Store for the issue about 3 days ago and was given a new phone....again....the new phones IMEI was never updated with AT&T/carrier.  I then again attempted the upgrade to iOS5 with the new phone and iOS5 bricked that one also.  Today, at the store, we tried 3 replacements with same outcome.
    So, after 4 hours and 3 replacement phones with Apple Store Tech (BTW totally gobsmacked), we solved the issue.  Luckily, due to iPhone 4S launch, there was an AT&T guy there with a computer tied to the AT&T network to work along with us.  The issue is......once the IMEI's on carrier account and phone do not match, iOS5 shuts down the sim card reader within phone.....forever. How to reverse this?......this is a question Apple needs to come up with, because with my case, they have 5 "bricked" phones. 
    What solved the issue was to get a new phone with iOS4.3.5, new SIM from carrier/AT&T, have carrier/AT&T (in their system) change/match the IMEI to the new phone and activate new SIM.  Then, do iOS5 upgrade. 
    Simple and makes total sense..........however........there is an internal firmware (Apple Security??) issue that bricks the phone once IMEI's dont match. 
    I am now on iOS5.....no problems......so far.  Good luck to all others.

    my iphone 3gs could not activate after update version

    This is most likely because it was jailbroken.  In which case, your phone is now permanently disabled.

    Your iPhone was "unofficially" unlocked by some means to work with a different carrier. Now that you have updated it has relocked to the original carrier. If you do not know who the original carrier was you will need to call AppleCare and give them the model and serial number of your iPhone. Then you will need to contact that carrier to see if they have a process to unlock the phone and if you qualify.

  • Iphone 4 keeps on hanging after updating to iOS 5.0 and later to iOS 5.1

    My iphone 4 keeps on hanging after updating to iOS 5.0.  I can no longer make and receive calls.  If I am successful in making a call, it will never end even after pressing stop.  The problem still persists even after updating to iOS 5.1.  How do I resolve this problem?

    Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

  • Unable to activate after updating to iOS 6

    The iphone 3GS is unable to activate after updating to iOS 6 i'm connecting it to iTunes but it says there is no SIM card which there is plz help

    connect phone to iTunes, click OK on any of the error boxes that come up.  Then with your iphone still connected to iTunes, hold down the home button and press the lock button and count to ten, then let your finger off the lock button whilst keeping your other finger on the home button for a further 10 seconds.  Your phone will then go into restore mode, a message should then pop up on iTunes asking if you want to restore and update - click yes.  I followed the procedures and my phone is now running perfect with ios 6.0.

    my iphone 5 crashes (restarts) automatically after updating to ios 7.1 anyboday facing same issues ? Need help !!!!

    I am having the same issues--just got off phone with customer service rep--was told that my phone is in recoveyr mode and that I would have to restore it, however, the only things that would be restored would be from my last backup which was in November 2013!  I was also told that apple users should not update as soon as the update is available (so why are they sending it to us if they're not sure that there will be any problems!!!).  I can't restore now since I am in work--will do it when I go home tonight.  In the meantime, I am without a working iphone for the day!  This is horrible--I see I'm not the only one who has experienced this!
