IPhone 5c :: How To Restore When SIM Is Not Compatible
Aug 24, 2014
I've recently purchased an iphone 5c and was told it was unlocked. Unfortunately this wasn't true. I've had the phone unlocked 2 days ago, and was told by the company who did it that it could take upto 14 days to actually unlock and download to the phone... they said that i will have to plug the phone into itunes, restore it, and when its done a "congratulations" will come up in itunes.Â
The problem i have is how do i know that the phone is unlocked when itunes and set up won't take me any further that "sim not compatible"
Trying to transfer all my data from the 4s to the 5s. Made a brand new backup from the 4s and it just says that its corrupt or not compatible when I try to restore the 5s. I have deleted all the old backups and made a new one each time.
I have updated my iPhone 4 to 5.1.1 and I can't restore my backup files because when I try to restore my backup iTunes shows that the backup is corrupted or not compatible with the iPhone
I switched iphones today with a friend of mine. I made sure that I had backed up everything to my computer AND iCloud before doing the trade. Did it, everything set up fine. Restored through iTunes and then turned on. I still had my email, texts, call logs, contacts and notes. But all my apps and songs are gone. How do i get them back?
I later found out that the iPhone 4 was purchased from Orange Swisszerland.
This phone was replaced in Covent Gardens and worked fine with orange UK for a few days (hence i purchased it). It then asked for compatible sim. now neither orang UK or Swiss sims work and i cannot unlock it too, because each party says that the iPhone is not their.
I would change my old 3gs for another one 3gs from apple store, should I or not ? Because the seller told me that new update could be not compatible with the 3gs ?
I researched and found nothing, except one post on yahoo answers that the iPhone 4s is compatible around the world with any carrier - this sounds too good to be true.
I'm planning to restore my iPhone while updating to iOS 4 since I've bee using the same old backup for 3 years or so now, installed a bunch of thing etc... so I want to start from scratch.
The only thing I don't want to lose are my SMS.I also don't want to jailbreak my iPhone. What are the solution to backup only my SMS (so not regular iTunes backup) and then restore that only to my freshly installed iOS4?
I inadvertently backed up my iPod Touch 3G which ended up being a blessing because it actually died due to water damage. When I get my new iP4 I want to restore from that iPod Touch backup because it has many apps I use for studying including the settings which I definitely need. Is there a way to restore just the apps? How would/could I restore at least the one app with data that I really need?
I finally updated my iPhone to 5.1. I waited so long because of the fiasco updating my iPod Touch when 5.0 first came out. I thought it worked, I was pleased Apple worked out the bugs. Lo and behold, all of my apps and folders disappeared before my eyes. No problem I thought, I did a back up. Restore from back up. Fifteen minutes later, it looks exactly the same. Isn't a backup supposed to be of everything on the system so that if something goes wrong, you just revert back to the back up and either try again or wait for the process to be fixed? Seriously, get your stuff together.
if I restore factory setting to my iPhone, is it still possible to restore the backup from itune/ icloud to get the purchased apps and other informations?
I cant get my iphone to turn on, I tried to restore it and it told me they couldn't restore it, is it junk or is there something that can get it to work?
Are iTouch-compatible alarm clock radios generally compatible with iPhones? but i was just wondering. A Coby clock radio I'm considering says it's compatible with the latest iTouch, I know some other clocks do indicate if they work with iPhones too, and it may sound like a silly question, but I wanted to know if it works with the indication or not.
I have tried all the types of charging my phone but it still dosen't work I connected the charging wire to my ipod to check if it was working and it was working properly perhaps if I return it to the istore then will there be any use?
So I wanted to bluetooth something from my Iphone4 to my macbook pro laptop and my phone tells me that it is not compatible. How are 2 apple products that are both fairly new not compatible with each other?
Ive been trying to update my iPhone 4 OS. To 5 It is 4.3.3 now Each time I've tried, I get the error that my firmware is not compatible. I've tried to restore- first-- same error code
Deleted preferences on my computer (pc) and tried again--same error
I was trying to update my iphone and it told me that my firmware was not compatible. What do I need to do? It also appears that I am not able to download the newest version of itunes. I click on download, and nothing seems to happen. I am using a pc.
I have an iPhone 5 GSM a1428. I am trying to update to IOS 8, and I have the right file, and I know how to do it. Also I have registered my UDID to get the download. Whenever I hit the file of ipsw, there is an error that says the firmware file is not compatible. I have tried numerous things to get it to work.
Info: iPhone 5, iOS 7.1.1, Trying to update to IOS 8
