Won't recognise sim

Recently my Iphone 3GS came up with the message to connect to ITunes. So that afternoon I connected it and it said that there had been an error and that it needed a system restore. So I did the restore but now when trying to configure the phone it won't recognise the sim card. This sim still works in other phones and is obviously an error with the Iphone. I can't do the restore again as when I go to Itunes it says there is no sim installed so I cant do anything at all.
Any help would be muchly appreciated!

it may be a faulty sim does another sim work in it? this way we can narrow things down.
ensure the sim is in the right way and inserterd correctly
if another sim works in the phone its you sim if another sim does not work its the phone thats faulty
If i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.

Phone suddenly won't recognise SIM - "No SIM"

Hi all,
Has anyone ever experienced a situation where their phone was working fine, then after a minor bump (literally, a really minor bump - and its in a case too which I'm sure reduces such bumps).. ?
My iphone slid out of my pocket onto our tile floor yesterday - it wasn't a big fall and it slid along the tiles for maybe a metre, and then stopped. When I picked it up, it said "No SIM installed". I haven't had time to try and connect it to the computer, but I have tried:
Eejecting the SIM, repositioning it, and so on 4-5+ times;
Turning the phone on and off using top button;
Doing a full master reset type turn off (ie hold top and home button beyond normal turn-off screen)
Hoping that leaving it alone overnight would will it into working this morning (!!!)
I probably am not going to have time to ring Apple until later today (I'm in Australia - its Monday morning at the moment).... so I thought I'd put it out to the brains trust out there for ideas I can try before I call them.
Thanks in advance,
Kristan.

BLACKBERRY TORCH - won't turn on and desktop manager won't recognise it - I can't get my contacts

Hi all,
I'm new to this so please bare with me.
I'll try and be as brief as possible. Up until last week I had the Blackberry Torch 9800. I was due an upgrade and about two days before I went to contact my network provider my Torch battery died (it wasn't broken at this point, it just was drained and needed charged) so I went to charge it and it did that thing where the battery was so dead it wouldn't even switch on whilst charging.
I plugged it in and rather than charge like normal it was completely dead and the only activity it offered me was two red flashing lights as it 'charged'. From that moment on it has not turned on. Dead as can be. If I plug to charge (wall charger OR USB port) I get the two bright red flashing notification lights but it will not go on.
Anyway rather than send it to be repaired I opted for a new phone as I was due an upgrade anyway and intended on doing so whether the Torch was alive and kicking at this point or not. Cut a long story short I got my new blackberry (9360 curve) it is all set up with my e-mail etc, media card and same sim card swapped over but as Blackberry insist on your contact numbers being saved to the handset and not the sim my contacts are stuck in my Torch 9800.
When I go to plug the Torch in to Desktop manager to get the contacts saved to there and then sync over to my new handset the Torch is so dead that DManager won't even read/recognise it. My network say since this is not an issue with network etc they can't really help and gave me a number for Blackberry services in England somewhere (they are office hrs so can't phone until Monday morning).
Please can someone help? I have my new 9360 all up and running but my contacts are stuck in my Torch and that is the only place they are? DManager won't recognise the Torch because it is dead - except the two flashing lights - and therefore won't let me at the contacts that way.
ANY help would be appreciated - please not too techinal as not great with all of that side of things!
Sorry for the long post.

Iphone4 won't recongise SIM, won't activate

Hello,
I recently updated my iphone 4 to the latest 6.1.3 iOS from 5.1 or some very old one (I've been lazy and waiting for better maps) and a day or two later it stopped recognising the SIM (i.e. "sim card not installed" displays on screen).
I tried a few troubleshoots - hard resetting, reseeding the sim - but nothing worked so finally I tried doing a restore through itunes and now it won't activate so the phone is truly useless I'm guessing it won't activate without a SIM, just wondering what to do? Are there any other tricks for getting these things to recognise SIMs?
Also:
The phone is unlocked and always has been ( I bought it outright)
I'm on the optus network in Australia
It's not jailbroken or any of that shady stuff
Thanks for any help,
James

For anyone else interested in this question - I just used a friends SIM to get past the activation step (as the pone needed a SIM for some daft reason) and all worked fine so I don't think it was a problem with the iphone hardware. I'm going to grab a new SIM from my provider and I'll post again here if it works after a few days or whatever, hopefully I'll remember

3GS doesnt recognise sim. Status switches between 'no sim' or 'searching' ? If it does find the network it only keeps it for a minute or two. Please any suggestions welcome.

IPhone 3GS doesn't recognise sim card. Status either says no sim or searching. If it does find network it's only for a minute or two?? Any ideas?

YEs sorry I should of said. I tried a different sim in my phone and the same thing happened and tried my si
IN a different phone and it works ok. I've also tried restoring it to factory settings.

I have not had wifi since November when I upgraded to the newest IOS version. I called the Apple help line and they told me some things to do and I tried them all and they worked for a few hours and then wifi shut off again. I kept doing what they told me and it worked for a couple more days and then I could never turn it on again. My blue tooth doesn't work either. I had to actually increase my data usage with AT&T becuase of this. When I did that in December I went to the Apple store and was told that it is a hardware issue and since my phone is out of warranty I would have to pay for a new phone because they could not fix the issue. My upgrade isn't up until June 2014 so not only do I have to wait for the upgrade and I am not paying for a new phone but I have to pay $10 plus extra a month on my cell phone bill because I was going over on my Data!!! I have been beyond upset about this and Apple is not doing anything about this nor did they offer up some way to resolve the issue because obviously it is not just some rare incident if several people are having this issue. Who knows how many people out there have had this issue and have not said anything about it. Now there is a newer update that I can't do because it requires wifi in order to download.
June can not get here fast enough and I may not go back to Iphone after dealing with this for so long with no help from Apple.

Is there a problem with IM and FaceTime as it won't recognise my Apple ID

There are reports that iMessage and FaceTime are down.

ITunes won't recognise my iPod on USB 2.0, only 1.1

my computer won't recognise my iPod touch 1.1.4 when it is connected via my USB 2.0 PCI card, only when it is plugged in via the motherboards inbuilt USB 1.1 ports. I have plugged it into other computers (all pc's) and it works fine on their USB 2.0 ports.
What could be causing this?
cheers.

Try this if you have not already. This removes and reinstalls ALL Apple software and sometimes that is required.

HELP NEEDED! My wife's 5c won't recognise on my laptop anymore. I plug it in and the laptop makes a sound but won't show up the phone. I only recently discovered this problem when I upgraded. It will recognise my 5c and even the iPad but not her 5c

I discovered this problem when I upgraded my iPhone 4 to a 5c.
My laptop will recognise my 5c and even the wife's iPad but won't recognuse her 5c, when I plug it in it makes a sound but just doesn't show up in iTunes.
It DID work on my laptop as recently as November when I backed up her phone and updated her software but like I say ever since I upgraded it just won't recognise her 5c but does mine.
I just can't think what is wrong? I haven't messed around with anything on the laptop or messed around with the wife's settings on her 5c
HELP!!!!

I would test with another computer and another cable
if it the device would not be detected by any computer I
would say that it's connector was broken

My iPad won't recognise my air printer, it is connected as I checked by typing in IP address into Safari, but when I try to print it just says cannot find any air printers.

my Ipad won't recognise my printer. It is connected as I have typed the IP address into Safari which confirms connectivity. Spoken with canon who suggest it it is a problem with IOS not recognising the functionality. When I try to print it says cannot find any air printers. Printer is working via LAN set up on my laptop. Don't want to have to spend £25 to speak to an apple support team. Has anyone else experienced this problem. Printer is a canon MG 3250.

A few things you could try:
Reboot your modem/router.
Turn your printer off then on again & make sure it's connected to the network.
Reboot your iPad holding down the home & sleep/wake buttons simultaneously until the apple logo appears then release & let the iPad boot up normally.
Try going into Settings on your iPad & select General->Reset->Reset Network Settings.

Since updating to Lion the iMac won't recognise the external hard drive (maxtor) when waking from sleep mode,

Hi All, Since updating to Lion, my imac won't recognise the ext HDD (Maxtor) when waking from sleep mode, I have tried another port, diisc utility (Ext HDD not listed in here) but nothing works. I now find that I have to restart the imac to get the drive recognised..which is fine until the imac goes into sleep mode then I lose the drive and have to restart etc etc.....anyone suffering same issue. The Ext Drive worked perfectly until the upgrade..

Thanks for this, and apologies for delay in replying...in between seeing your post I backed up the ext hdd to another mac and used the disc utility to erase and repair and then re mounted the ext hdd. OK. I have then tested the ext hdd being recognised when waking from sleep mode a few times and everything appears to be fine. If this doesn't work (long term) I will follow the instructions as you have suggested....
I now have a new problem with my HP printer (Photosmart Plus) which is not being recognised by a new wireless router..Ok whilst the router is switch on and I have reconfigured the printer..but when the router is switched off overnight and then switched back on...I get a 'printer is not connected' message and have to go through the re configure routine all over. I am minded to think this is a router problem as the same issue is happening to my wifes Mac Book Pro (which is only a few weeks old)...any suggestions..

Old Itunes library (from PC) on external hard drive - Mac won't recognise

I feel like I've tried absolutely everything, so hopefully someone here can help.
I had my Itunes library stored on an external disc. This was when I was using Itunes on a PC. It all ran fine....
Now we've upgraded to a Mac and for the life of me I cannot get Itunes to recognise the library.
First I just tried changing the folder location with no luck. Now I've tried holding down alt when starting Itunes, I've located the folder, and at first it seemed all was well as the albums (sans artwork) all appeared in Itunes. But when I try to play them or send songs to my Iphone, it says it can't locate the file. I've tried to then manually point it to the external drive and the old library and it still won't recognise it.
Can anyone suggest anything??

I have upgraded iTunes to 10.5.3, but it still won't recognise my iPhone.

What the title says.
I've upgraded iTunes on the laptop to the latest, as recommended by others, but it still won't recognise my iPhone.
It didn't recognise with the older version I had before upgrading.(Can't really remember what version it was...)

HT5149 Final Cut Pro x won't recognise any of my external hard drives

Hi, I am sorry to start a new thread on this topic as I am aware there are already numerous threads. I have been searching through them for a solution to my problem and nothing appears to be working.
As stated in the title, Final cut X won't recognise any of my external hard drives. When I open Final cut x all I see is an "Untitled" event in the library and not even a mention of my internal drive.
I have checked that all my hard drives are formatted to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) which I can confirm they all are. I have a spare hard drive which currently has no content on it and I have just reformatted it using disk utility to Mac OS Extended (Journaled). This hard drive is not showing up in the library either. I mention this as some of the suggested solutions appear to be that an external hard drive not showing up might be because of folders within the hard drive labeled something such as "Video" "Audio" or "DCIM," as this may cause Final cut x to see it as a camera device and not a hard drive. This hard drive has absolutely nothing on it and has been reformatted just 10 minutes ago, yet it still does not show up in my final cut x library. The weird thing is... all the hard drives show up in Motion 5.
I am really stuck and I don't know what to do. I am currently in the process of re-installing final cut x to see if that will change anything. I will post what happens as soon as it has been reinstalled. I can provide screenshots as soon as it has been reinstalled.
Does anyone have a solution to this? Has anyone had the same problem and found out what I must be doing wrong? I would greatly appreciate any comments or feedback which might provide some insight into what I am doing wrong. I feel like this must be an error on my part as I am not that adept at using final cut x.
Thanks,
Chris

I am using the latest version. Currently re-installing final cut x which will bring me up to date.
Thank you for taking the time to reply. That makes a lot of sense.
However I still can't understand something... I only have 100gb free on my internal drive and I want to optimize a large amount of footage for my video projects. How do I save my projects to this hard drive if it is not showing up in my library?
I appreciate I am probably being very stupid and am very grateful of any insight!
Thanks,
Chris
