I have two iPhones, one is a 4s and the other is a 3g. I have not used my 3g in some time now. I recently restored it but I cannot use it without a sim card, it says i have to "activate it." I cannot place my iPhone 4s sim card in it (too small), and i do not want to get a new contract or sim card for an iPhone that i do not ues very much.
recently my iPhone battery time is shortened from when I first bought it. I am sure it might b an App. Usually bleeds out at night, even with screen dark.
I had a 15" Macbook Pro that died on me. I got an new 15" and restored it from my Time Machine. In doing so though when I go to sync my iPhone 4S with the new computer, it's telling me that it must erase everything on the iPhone. I have about 25 Gigs of music and such on here, some of which come from old CD's and such that I don't have anymore. How can I go about syncing my phone with my computer without deleting all my Music/Pictures/Contacts/Movies/Message/Dates?
In my iTunes window, the playlists for my iphone 4s when it is connected show correctly. The playlists include 'top 25 most played songs', 'recently played', and 'recently added'. Although they appear in iTunes even after syncing, they do not show on my iPhone and I can not use them (they aren't there). But they continue to show in the iTunes list for the device. This is frustrating because I often like to play my recently added list or top 25.
I restored iOS in my 3GS iphone. It has been listed under devices of the iTunes window but a message is saying there is no sim card installed in the iphone you are attempting to activate. What shall I do to activate my iphone?
I paid $500 dollars for this phone 3 years ago. Two years ago, I cancelled my service with AT&T because they were too expensive. I've been using my iPhone 3Gs as my MP3 player for those two years - never with any problems. Tonight, I plugged my iPhone into iTunes for the first time in a long time, downloaded the new software update, and now am unable to "activate" my iPhone. I don't want to activate my iPhone. I want to use it as an iPod like I have been. I paid $500 dollars for this thing. I'm not signing up for another contract. How do I get my iPod back?!
I live in Spain and I bought an iPhone 4S in a Spanish Vodafone Store, along with a pay as you go sim. I have come back to England for a break and just bought a Vodafone pay as you go sim card to use when I'm in the UK so I don't get charged "roaming" fees. However, the phone says the sim is not valid and says I need to enter the sim card I got with the handset.
It doesn't seem to make sense to me as I haven't tried to insert a different network provider's sim card, and even now my Spanish sim card is using "Vodafone UK" network, so I know they are linked.
I have a used sim card that i need to use on my iphone 4. When i try to activate my phone, it wants my apple id i used to activate the orignial phone. I don't remember it though. How do you know what apple id you used.
i was given an iphone 4s with IOS 7.1.2 on it and there is no sim card and i don't have one and i was just wondering if i can still activate it without a sim card?
I'm the lucky man who found a lost iphone. I managed to recharge the battery with my ipod wire, and now I'm trying to use it. The phone is, right now, like an ipod but it seems to don't recognize my sim card. I checked the firmware version, is 3.1.3 (7E18).The operator is "Orange switzerland 5.2" First of all, is any sim card good for an iphone? And if so, what should i do to make the phone work with mine?

Im planing to buy a factory unlocked iphone 4s and use it as a ipod. so im not going to put a sim card in it. I have a micro sim card that 1 years old so basicly its inactive. Is it posible to activate it with this 1 year old sim card ?
So just bought a secondhand iphone 4s and I bought it through paypal but I need to activate it through my carrier. Thing is I put a new sim card in it and it wont activate. ITunes even says that I cant activate it through that. I need it asap my old phone is dying. also I have emailed the seller about this.
I just sold my 3GS and I'm trying to use my old 2G iPhone. But when I put the sim in its says "The SIM card inserted in this iPhone does not appear to be supported" So I went to AT&T and got a new SIM card only to have the same thing happen. any suggestions? I can't go 17 days without a phone.
So I got a new factory unlocked iphone 4s and I wanted to use it as an ipod and I was wondering can you activate the iphone with a unactivated sim card?
It was working but signal from etisalat carrier was not so I turn it off until the apple logo appear but it cannot reboot it. Then I restore and updated the phone with itunes but know this message appear " There is no SIM card installed in the iPhone you are attempting to activate." The Man who sold me this iPhone told that this phone is from America and I thought it would work here like any other phone but in this case it doesn't work at all.
After I upgrade my iPhone to iOS 4.2 I can not activate iPhone.It is written " The simcard inserted in this iPhone does not appear to be supported.Only compatible simcards from supported carrier may be used to activate iPhone.Please insert the simcard that came with your iPhone or visit a suppported carrier's store to receive a replacement simcard". Before upgrade I can use the simcard.
