When my 3Gs runs out of battery i get a 'no sim' message and cannot make/recieve calls

When my battery runs out , when I restart my phone it says that there is no sim card in the phone!

My boss was upgraded to an iPhone 4S from an iPhone 4 running iOS 5.0.1
Prior to the handset swap, he reset all settings from the device. Despite doing this, the old handset continues to receive iMessages which were associated with his iMessage account (presumably his AppleID).
Shouldn't resetting the phone in this fashion have resolved the issue?
The owner of the phone mentioned in this article completed a remote lock/wipe of her phone, and it seems to have exhibited similar behaviour:

Has anyone found a reliable method for ensuring that iMessages won't be delivered to a lost/stolen/replaced device?

    Hello douraid,
    Start with the article below to get your iPhone to take a charge. Once you get it powered back on, you will want to sync again to make sure nothing was lost during the attempted sync.

  • Hey, last night after my phone died it refused to charge or even signal the  battery picture which is usually what pops up when it has run out of battery life, whats wrong?

    I've used various charger with my phone due to the fact that my original one broke and it's hard to get a hold of a real apple cable, So last night it ran out of battery and refused to charge anymore ( this was the third time it ran out of battery). It didn't react to any of the botton, it didnt even signal me with the whole " i need you to charge me " picture. later that night  i decided to check on it and it signaled the picture so i plugged it in with the cars charger and it worked, my phone charged perfectly fine it turned on and worked okay. and this moring the whole senerio stared up again except now it won't charge at all i found an original Apple charger, i plugged into the computer, car, and house outlet and no response from the phone at all. I also I don't have the cable which charged my phone last night in the car it belonged to a friend and my phone still has no response to any bottons....

    If you have one try using a different charger lead, adapter or plug socket. If that fails it may be that the charger port is broken. I had the same problem with my ipad but it was within warranty and I got it replaced at an apple store

  • I downloaded the latest I tunes update today. Now when I click on the itunes icon I get an arror box :R6034 and cannot access my itunes library. How can I fix this problem?

    Hello Steven.
    First and foremost, I have to remind you that the version of Firefox you are using at the moment has been discontinued and is no longer supported. On top of this, it has known unpatched bugs and security problems. I urge you to update to the latest version of Firefox, for maximum security, stability, performance and usability. You can get it for free, as always, at [http://www.getfirefox.com getfirefox.com].
    In any case, and since you seem to be in the process of updating (you should have done so a while ago, since Firefox 2.0 has been discontinued years ago, I believe), your problems may exist because you may be having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
    Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and themes and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
    If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.
    If the problem is not disappears when all add-ons are disabled, please tell me, so we can work from there. Please have no fear of following my instructions to the line, as all can be easily undone.

  • How do you fix lines that come up on an iPod Touch (5th Gen) once it turns on after running out of battery?

    This has happened to me about 4 times now. I just got a brand new iPod touch (5th Gen) after replaceing my 4th gen iPod. I havent had it for a month, so its still brand new. The only thing is that when the iPod runs out of battery it turns off (duh) but it doesnt turn back on when you plug it in to charge. When I noticed that the iPod doesnt turn on, and I hit the power button, lines appear on my screen. They are lines that run up and down the screen from left to right. I try factory resets, setting resets, restoring my iPod. But this issue keeps coming up. I honestly dont know what to do. This thing is brand new and its acting up on me. Should I take it to my apple store? Should I just put up with it. I have tried everything and at this point I dont know what to do anymore. Please help!!

    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    Since you restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem
    If the iPod is defective within warranty (you indicate it is) and not abused Apple will exchange it on the spot.

  • Does my music get lost if my iPod runs out of battery?

    I've never got my iPod running out of battery, so I'm wondering if my music could get lost when the iPod runs out of battery?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    No, the iPod will keep the songs even if it runs out of battery power. Just charge it up again and you can play its songs.

  • Why does my MacBook Pro sometimes restores its RAM when I open it, even though it did not run out of battery?

    Sometimes when I open my MacBook Pro, it restores its RAM, as if it has run out of battery, even though it has not run out of battery and it has been charging. Why does this happen, and should it be happening?

    It's similar to hybernation mode in Windows.
    If you put your laptop to sleep, after X amount of hours it will move to the "deeper" sleep level (save memory to disk and shut down...), to save up battery.
    Otherwise if you left your laptop asleep in the evening, you could wake up to a dead battery. Not a great surprise when you in hurry to leave the house with your laptop...

  • Satellite P855-10G runs out of battery even when turned off

    Hi everyone,
    I have bought the Toshiba Satellite P855-10G, but im terrified because he runs out of battery even when turned off..
    Anyone knows how can i solve the issue?
    Best regards,
    Igor Tarelho

    Hi
    Access the BIOS and turn OFF the options like: Waking up on LAN and Keyboard.
    In Toshiba HW Setup I recommend disabling the USB Sleep and Charge function as well
    Both enabled options might allow discharging the battery even if the unit is OFF

  • MacBook Pro doesn't hibernate when runs out of battery

    Dear all,
    I've been experiencyng this issue for quite a while now and is very frustrating. My MacBook Pro (Early 2011) doens't go to sleep as it should when runs out of battery. It simply dies.

    Hi all,
    Thnk you for the reply.
    @andyBall: I though that the battery might run out sooner than what it reports, however it typically behaves behaves quite well - 5+ hours after fully charged and approximately 10 minutes of operation after low battery warning. Very hard that battery is running out before the system realize that. Yet I have to try the SMC reset. Will revert.
    @SilverSkyRat: I have one iCloud and one Gmail for work. Today I have disabled both and OS hibernated well (no failure). Later in the day I reactivated Gmail and system still hibernated fine. I mainly use the Mac for work therefore it's rather difficult to perform continus test of this kind. Although, system somtimes hibernates fine with also all account active.
    General question, which are the program associated with "Address Book Source Sync"? Only "Contacts"?
    Also, I have Little Snitch on the computer, may this be anyhow linked with this issue in your opinion/experience?
    Best regards,
    Alex

  • Is the iPad air meant to run out of battery even when it is charging?

    Is the iPad air meant to run out of battery even when it is charging?

    Depends on the charger. The 12 watt charger that came with the iPad should be able to charge faster than the iPad drains the battery when in use. But other chargers may not provide enough power to efficiently charge the iPad. The best way to charge any iPad is to use the charger that came with the iPad.

  • When my MacBook Pro i7 runs out of battery, it powers off.

    I can't seem to figure out why my new macbook pro turns off when it runs out of battery. Typically, when macs run out of battery, they go into sleep mode. However mine skips this completely and just turns off. Any similar problems? any ideas?

    I have an update regarding this issue. Since receiving my new MacBook Pro, I have calibrated the battery 3 times. Here are my findings of each calibration when the battery reaches 0% charge:
    1st calibration: MacBook Pro enters SafeSleep (saving contents of memory to HD) and powers down (no pulsating light indicating memory is still being maintained until plugged-in or battery reserves are depleted). Plugging adapter in and powering up results in memory being restored from HD.
    2nd calibration: Same as 1st calibration
    3rd calibration: MacBook Pro shuts down without entering SafeSleep. Plugging adapter in and powering up results in normal boot sequence with logs indicating improper shutdown.
    SMC and PRAM have been reset prior to these calibrations.
    pmset -g returns the following (looks normal to me):
    Active Profiles:
    Battery Power 1
    AC Power -1*
    Currently in use:
    womp 1
    halfdim 1
    sms 1
    hibernatefile /var/vm/sleepimage
    gpuswitch 2
    disksleep 10
    sleep 0
    hibernatemode 3
    ttyskeepawake 1
    displaysleep 10
    acwake 0
    lidwake 1
    I don't think this is the intended behavior for this MacBook Pro. I've started a case with AppleCare and I hope an engineer will respond to what I'm experiencing as I don't think this is normal. It appears that the MacBook Pro is not accurately determining the bottom threshold of the battery. It thinks there are reserves when there is actually none, causing weird behavior at the end of the battery charge life.
    Anybody else experiencing this with their MacBook Pro 15" i7?
    Will update as soon as I find out more.

  • When i charge my ipod it runs out of battery in about an hour. Icharged overnight and did the same thing is there anyway i can fix this?

    When I charge my Ipod it runs out of battery in 40 minutes. I charged overnight and lasted a little over an hour. How can I solve this problem. My Ipod is still under warranty.

    You can try the standard fixes to rule out a software problem:
    - Reset. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restorefrom backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new Pod
    If still problem then time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.  If defective, yoand not abouses, you hould walk out with a replacement.

  • My iPhone 3GS gets warm and runs out of battery

    My iPhone 3GS gets warm and runs out of battery.
    No change if I reboot the phone. The only thing that works is to reinstall the phone in iTunes, but the problem soon comes back.

    Hi,
    If you Restored from Backup... Then there may be Corruption in the Backup... That being the case, the Next Step is to Restore as New...

  • MBP running out of battery power before sleeping - Help!

    Hi
    My MacBook Pro has been running out of battery power before the memory-saving sleep mode kicks in, so it dies with a little click of the HD. It's not a hibernation state as when I reattach the power supply it boots up a new session.
    I've noticed this since upgrading to Snow Leopard last year, but put it down to an old battery that had 45% charge and wasn't powering the MBP properly. I now have a replacement A1175 5600mAh battery which is giving me 2-3hrs usage (which I'm pleased at), but now it still dies before sleeping!
    I have tried to cycle the new battery, but can't. I have reset the SMC several times, with no effect.
    I used to cycle the battery every week or two, running it down until it would no longer wake from sleep, recharge overnight etc, but now I can't do this because it will die before sleeping!
    I've read quite a few articles over the net about this issue, but there seems like no cure. It's really annoying me now as I frequently work on the move and a dying MBP could potentially be disastrous.
    Can anyone shed some light on this issue? Is there something I haven't tried yet? I think it's a late '06 MBP.

    If you are not getting a warning, then there is something amiss with your battery. If a SMC reset and calibration does not fix the problem, then you may need to make an appointment at the genius bar and arrange to have your battery tested.
    My old battery started doing the same thing--shutting down without warning. I replaced it, and the replacement battery started doing the exact same thing. I then returned the replacement, and the next replacement battery behaves in a normal fashion.
    My first battery was worn out. My second battery was defective. My third battery is good.
    Your battery should still be under warranty. Go back to where you got it and show them what it is doing and see if you can get a replacement.
    Good luck!
