TS4148 My iphone 4 has been updated to the newest version, but i constantly tells me that there is no SIM card installed. why does this keep happening?
I have restarted my phone numereous times (because there's nothing else you can do to an iPhone) and every time it turns back on it'll have bars for a little while and then say " No SIM installed" or it'll go straight to "No SIM". Why is this happeneing and how can i fix it?
Sounds like your iPhone was hacked/modified/jailbroken to work
with wireless carrier other than the one it was purchased from. The
update has relocked it to the original carrier. Contact the original
carrier to see if they offer unlocking and if you qualify - only the
carrier to which the iPhone is locked can unlock it.
What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>Carrier?
Be advised that the previous modifications to change from original carrier
to your local Carrier may have rendered the software unable to be updated or
officially unlocked.

My iphone 4S has been updated to the newest software and isn't detecting internet, although sometimes it connects for a few seconds and then disappears again. I have tried everything it has said on the internet about this and it still isn't working.
Ok I think it's a problem with my router. I went to my cousin's house and the Wi-Fi worked there perfectly. I was even able to download many apps. So I guess my router probably can't take in more connections. Oh well thanks anyway.

My Mac Mini doesn't recognize my Avengers DVD--it keeps saying "Supported disc not available." I've tried other DVD's which work, but not this one. itunes and everything else has been updated to the newest versions. Help? Also...It doesn't recognize the digital copy DVD.
I have ALL the exact same symptoms as on my home computer.
It sure sounds to me like something on the iPod is broken. If it's under warranty then I would send it back for repair. If not, check out some of the web repair services, such as iPodResQ etc. -

please help me < when update my i phone 3G < i finish update but face problem , appear me msg There is no SIM card installed in the iPhone You ar attempting to activate. Please disconnect
Sounds like your phone was hacked to use with your carrier. Updating it has relocked the phone to it's original carrier. You will not get the phone working again without a SIM from the original carrier.

after the update to IOS 5.1.1, my iphone is not being activated, it tells me ''your iphone could not be activated server is temporarily unavailable. . . .'', and itunes is not reading my iphone, itunes tells me that there is no sim card inserted, which is wrong, any solutions?
Does your computer recognize other iPhones?
If the problem is only with this iPhone, try following along with this Apple doc -> iOS: Unable to update or restore
If the computer doesn't recognize other iPhones, try following along with this Apple doc -> iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows -
I have an iphone 3GS that I have inactivated as of today. I still wish to sync this phone with iTunes (did a restore as I transferred my data to a new iPhone). However, iTunes is giving me an error message that there is no SIM card installed in the iPhone I'm attempting to activate. I've powered off the phone, held the power button & home button until iTunes popped up with restore note. Re-did the restore (twice) but still coming up with same error message.
Kind of what I figured.....will I be able to sync to iTunes in future as many times as I want without the SIM card (once it's activated again)?

trying to active my old iPhone 3gs. it showing that activation server is temporary unavailable and on the iTunes showing that there is no sim card installed in the iPhone you are attempting to activate. I unlocked my phone then i upgrade it, after that this happen. i tried with other sim same message come again and again.if any body know solution let me know. thanks
Was the SIM card activated on another phone? I assume this is an ATT style trying to use on T-Mobile? Was the SIM installed correctly? Is the carrier (like T-Mobile) operating IOS 6 devices yet?
If the SIM is a valid SIM from say T-Mobile, you may want to contact them for assistance activating the SIM card.
Activation and SIM issues typically point to the carrier. And if this was a CDMA phone say working with verizon, it will NOT work for ATT or T-Mobile as they use different electronics on the 3GS. The SIM slot is for international use only. -
Just updated to the newest version of iTunes, when connecting it prompts me to update my iPhone to the newest version of IOS; however, when I hit download it says I have purchases that need to sync but where and how do I do this on the newest version? It isn't doing it automatically and I am unable to find the sync button that was available on previous versions of iTunes. I would hate to think that I'm going to lose the many purchases that I've made, someone please help!

How do I update to the newest version w/o losing my bookmarks etc..?
Hi LALALA200,
A SIM card needs to be in the phone to activate the phone. I'm sure you can ask your carrier for a used, deactivated SIM, and if not, find one elsewhere for very cheap.
Also note that the original iPhone cannot run any version later than iOS 3.1.3. -

HELP GUY I NEED YOUR PROFESSIONAL OPINION
Take it to an Apple Store and have it checked out. You could have a hardware issue there if the SIM is not being recognized.

I have a Macbook and as usual, I was notified of a Firefox update, which I accepted. Since uploading the new version, when I type a search into the usual box and click enter or on search button, nothing happens at all. This is very annoying! I would appreciate any help.
Thanks.I just went to the Help>Troubleshooting Information>Open Containing Folder>Organize>Select All then deleted everything. When I reopened Firefox my homepage asked for my password, the option for Firefox to remember, I clicked remember and now it is working.
By the way the previous post was me as well. Just a typo, should have been stlblues1226 as well. -

HT1222 My iPhone 4 will not update to the newest version available. Any suggestions?
I have tried to update my iPhone 4 to with the latest software 5.1.1 and it gives me an error message and says its unable to update. Any suggestions on why or what I need to do to get the update to work?
It will help if you can post the exact error message. That will indicate the nature of the particular problem and allow people to offer more targeted advice. It will also help if you'll tell us whether you're trying to update through your computer, and if so the OS and version of iTunes it's running, or if you're trying to update directly on your iPhone.

hi
Sounds like the phone was jailbroken or hacked to unlock it. If that's the case, it's now a brick. Buy a new phone.
