  • My appstore app shows an update available for CodeBox, which I did not buy, does anyone know what the problem could be? I don't think I have been hacked (no money subtracted, etc.)

    Hi all,
    For some time now, my appstore app shows an update available for CodeBox, which I did not buy. When I try to update it it asks for my ID and password (all normal), but then it gives an Unknown Error.
    I am 100% sure I didn't buy the app, I do not see any transaction on my card or in the appstore apart of this one, so does not seem to be a hack.
    Does anyone know what is happening, this is a tricky thing which is making me lose trust in the payment/account system that Apple is using.
    Thanks!
    Isidro

    Hello Abhihit9,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I found this article while researching the symtpoms you state here named iPhone: Troubleshooting a cellular data connection found http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3780.
    Toggle airplane mode: Tap Settings, turn airplane mode on, wait three seconds, and then turn off again.
    Restart your iPhone.
    Ensure that your software is up to date:
    Check for a Carrier Settings Update. Tap Settings > General > About.
    Check for an iOS Software Update. Tap Settings > General > Software Update.
    Note: Some updates may require a Wi-Fi connection.
    Remove the SIM Card and reinsert it. Allow the iPhone to acquire the network again.
    If your SIM card has SIM PIN enabled, try toggling it off: Tap Settings > Phone > SIM PIN.
    Try another location. If a different location works, but the original location still does not, contact your carrierto report the issue.
    Reset network settings: Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    Restore the iPhone as new.
    Contact your carrier to:
    Verify that the iPhone is properly set up on the account with the appropriate, current data plan.
    Verify that there are no account-related blocks.
    Find out if there are specific error messages in the carrier logs that could help determine why the issue is occurring.
    If none of the above steps resolves the issue, contact your carrier, make an appointment at an Apple Retail Store, or contact AppleCare to troubleshoot further.
    I know you have reseated and replaced the SIM card already so you can skip that part.
    Regards,
    Sterling

  • I have an Ipad 2 16gb, I bought a sim card yet it says sim card not installed

    Hi Peeps, please can someone help in what I do next! the ipad 2 will find the sim card network for about 15 secs then goes off and says sim card not installed.
    does anyone know whether I need to update or download certain software for this to work.
    It is the IPAD 2 16gb, sim card checked with network provider and its working fine!!

    Giff gaff use the 02 network, so there is a chance that you are "locked"to that network (02 as Giff gaff don't sell iPads)
    Without putting in a different sim, you won't know the "3"sims from eBay offer about the best deal inro £13 for 3 months data @1gb per month, I've used them for almost a year now :)

  • Upgraded iphone 4 firmware from 4.3.3 to 5.01 and now it says sim card not supported now

    i just upgraded my iphone 4 firmeware from 4.3.3 to 5.0.1 and after it restarted it says that the sim card doese not appear to be supported.  i already went to the att store and they inserted a new card and tried to activate it and it says the same thing.  my phone work great before the upgrade to the firmware and i read that lots of other people have had the same problem and brought there pnones into an apple store and had them replaced due to the faulty upgrade. what can you do for me

    This is a user to user help forum only, so no one here can do anything for you except provide recommendations.
    Have you tried restoring your iPhone with iTunes?
    If so with no change, make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby.

  • My iPhone 4 this morning just shut off by itself all of a sudden. The screen is all black and I cannot receive calls, or anything.Anybody knows what the problem could be and how to solve it?

    I was listening to music when the volume turned down by itself and by the time I took the iPhone out of my bag I couldn't hear anything anymore and the screen was totally black. I tried turning the phone on again (thinking it somehow shut itself off) but it didn't work.
    I also tried hooking it up to the electricity hoping the battery would charge, as well as hooing it up to the computer and connecting it to itunes, nothing happened.
    My friends tried to call me and told the phone was ringing just normally as if I wasn't picking up. What can I do? (considering that i bought the iPhone on aug. 20th, 2011) and I'm away for the weekend, if anything happens I'm without means of communication...
    Thanks in advance!

    just do reset, press home button and power butoon for a while untill you can see apple
    gud luck

    Hi, I have an ipad 2 16 gb and I the ipad wont find the mobile network , it comes on then goes off and then states sim card not installed does anyone know how to fix this issue

    Honestly I dont think so, but your best bet is to take it to yoru verizon store and ask them  or you could just pop in a sim card of tmobile and see if that works. 

  • I can't seem to fully load apps like Candy Crush, Plants vs. Zombies, and now my camera won't load. Any ideas on what the problem is?

    I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Candy Crush and Plants vs. Zombies 2, but no luck.
    I've recently tried using my camera to take a picture, and it won't fully load as well so I'm stuck not able to play games, or take pictures.

    CORRECTION: I can download it as everything else besides a PDF version. I'm able to download the document as a Word, Pages, and ePub document but not a PDF which hampers obviously our printing capabilities. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

  • HT4972 in terms of performance: do you recommend to update iPhone 3gs to os5 or os6?

    in terms of performance: do you recommend to update iPhone 3gs to os5 or os6?

    If you update your 3GS, iOS 6.0.1 will be installed on it...you don't have a choice, as that is the only iOS currently signed by Apple, that is available for your phone.

    I Don't know if I can turn it of or do I just leave it and take it to service?
    I'd appreciate some advice!

    Same thing happened here ~ tech guy at a local authorized Apple repair store said it had something to do with improper backup from which the restore would be made. Still have a phone that asks to be connected to Itunes but won't do anything else . . . frustrated.

    If you haven't already tried, see if you can force it into recovery mode to restore it:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808.  If that doesn't work, the last thing you can try is to put it in DFU mode to restore it: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2648467?threadID=2648467&tstart=0.

    Any one know what error -5000 is?  I get this error when I try to update to IOS 5 on my 3gs phone.

    I am also facing the same issue.
    four days back, my power buttton stopped working.
    Then my sim card slot stopped reading like it was stuck at gsm/cdma band.
    Even without simcard it said searching..
    then I changed the power button and antenna strip myself as my iphone5 is uk ee and i live in india.
    Everything was fine and I booted the phone.
    The power button worked like a new device... but the searching problem still remained.
    I hard resetted my phone but to no vail. even Find My phone was not turning off.
    then I forced my phone to recovery mode and downloaded iphone5,2 7.0.2,11A501_restore.ipsw from web and flashed it.
    At the start it recognised and everything was good until the "restoring iphone firmware" was stuck at the end point.
    I tried every trick on net. Even tried to downgrade.. but it was blocked.
    at the last it is either stuck at firmware or itunes unknown error (3)
    Please somebody help me to recover this PAPERWEIGHT to a phone again...
